Prosecutor Comstock charged the entire bunch with being caught in a gambling house, wh'ie the proprietor, George Mayer, was charged with keeping a gambling house. When the witnesses were examined it was found that three of the men arrested were "stowaways," who were drunk and went to bed with their boots on. These three Gaffney. Stone and Dillon were singled out and fined $1 and costs while the others were given $5 and costs each. Mayer was fined $10 and costs. Some paid and some went to board with Richard Smith. Superintendent Gormon has determined to break up gambling in Richmond and a few more successful attempts like that of last Saturday evening will soon rid the city of these dens of infamy. The "stuff" gathered in will be destroyed. LOOKS LIKE KERN Would be the Democratic Nominee for Governor. Indianapolis, Aug. 1. "Unless John W. Kern puts himself out of the running by an emphatic declaration" says Louis Ludlow, "he probably will be nominated by the Democrats for governor at their state convention "Wednesday. Nothw'Ahstanding the general mention of his name Mr. Kern does not feel inclined at this time to r say anything for publication. He is in no sense seeking the nomination, but it is beloved that if the partycalls him he will consent to be its standard-bearer. At any rate he will not make a statement for a day or two and possibly not at all. ",The drift in favor of Kern has been especially pronounced during the last two days. It is understood that Judge Parker would be pleased to have Kern head the Indiana ticket. "When Kern and Tom Taggart were gunning after the national chairmanship uiey assured the eastern Democrats that Indiana can be carried for the Democracy this fall. It has been pointed out by some of the easterners Viof Mr. Kern shonld be villino to o prove the faith that is within him by accepting the nomination for governor Many of Taggart 's close friends are
Pulled Sunday
mentioning Kern for the governorship. They say he would. be a good many votes stronger than ' any other " man who conld be nominated. "After Kern, Sam Ralston is the order in Avhich the proguosticators speak of the gubernatorial possibilities. If Mr. Kern had'ltii own way he would pass the nomination on to Ralston. Still he is too good a Democrat to refuse to work in any position in which the party may place him." Not Harrell. . Crawfordsville, Tnd.r Aug 1. It has been definitely determined that the Hammond suicideV. whose body rema',', is in that city Unidentified, is not H. H.

INDIANA WILL GO SAID "UNCLE JOE" CANNON TODAY AT THE STATION TAGGART1 S EFFORTS Will Not Draw the State From the Good Party, But Contest Will be Rather Sharp. "Indiana will go Republican this fall. O fthis I am certain, both from my own private investigation and from the newspaper dispatches that I have read. The majority, I believe, will not be a large one, but it will be large enough to put the Hoosier State in the ranks of the good party," sail "Uncle Joe" Cannon, speaker of the House, this morning at the Pennsylvania station to a Palladium representative. MK Cannon was enroute to his home in Illinois after the notification of President Roosevelt, at Oyster Bay, L. I. "I am 'kinder worn out and I will rest up a few days before entering on the work of the campaign, when all the rest that I can get will be snatched on railway trains," he said. "I have been taking quite an interest in Indiana politics of late, for the election of Thomas Taggart to the national chairmanship has caused the eyes of all Western politicians to turn on this State, and it will surprise me greatly to see Indiana join the ranks of the Democrats." "No," he said, in answer to a question, "I do not think that Taggart 's new position will draw many votes to the Democratic side, nor do
REPUBLICAN
William McGreevy Receives Promotion
I thiak that Taggart will do much more than he has formerly done. 1 have never met him personally and all my opinions are based on what I have heard of him. However, if he should be so powerful as to draw Iidiana from the Republican ranks, I should want to meet him, as one of the greatest politicians of the West." "What do I think of the national situation? Why Roosevelt stands by far the best show, and ia my opinion will be elected. I have just returned from his home, and I feel that he is the man the people want for president and whom the people will elect. Of course, there will be a contest, and it will be a hard one, too. The main battle ground will be in the East, as I have often said before, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, West Virginia, and many of the other Eastern States will be torn by the political struggle. The West will be a sectional one almost entirely." "As to the Indiana situation, I I believe that Fairbanks, New, and the other stalwart Republicans will carry this State, regardless of Tom Tagjgart." j In appearance the famous speaker is rather small and slight. His face, wXh its rim of iron-gray whiskers, is familiar to all. He talks in a steady and rather shrill voice, using many gestures. His tone is one of confidence. - ' I GENERAL KELLER KILLED BY SHELL MET HIS DEATH WHILE OPPOSING JAP ADVANCE NEAR HAI CHENG He Was Fifty-Four Years Old and a Great Favorite With Imperial Family. (By Associated Press.) St. Petersburg, August 1. Kuropatkin on July 31 reported the offensive movements by the Japanese on the Southern front.

The army is also attacking our troops at Hontsiatse, twenty miles from Liao Yang. The Japanese troops have under cover several warships landed off Yiag Kou. St. Petersburg, August 1.

Kuropatkin's dispatch dated today says the Russians held all positions up to 6 :45 p. m. Sunday, but had not heard from the extreme right flank. Mukden, August 1. It is reported that Lieutenant-General Count Kel- ; ler was killed east of Liao Yang. London, August 1.
