who are guilty of bribery, who are corruptionlsts, who twice helped defeat Bryan and who now seek to use their political positions to serve the brew

ery and , the gambling Interests of the

state, even If they must sacrifice the party. He says:

"Mr. Holtzman's plan of organiza

tion may or may not be the best proposed, but it certainly worked fairly well in the past, since under it a long line of representative men were chos

en to office, and the special work of

the committee was done with comparatively little complaint being lodged against It. A comparison of results

achieved under the two systems will not prove very flattering to the pres

ent one.

"A very suspicious circumstances at

tending the adoption of the present plan is that the party was then bear

ing the weight of Grove r and his destinies. Wall street was holding the guiding reins, and an earnest effort

was being made to set up the pins for the national convention so that G rover & Co. might make a strike a little scheme which only the spontaneous uprising of the masses succeeded In defeating."

TUESDAY, MAY 15, 1906.

MR. WATSON. Several days ago In an Interview Representative- James E. Watson Bpoko la a manner which should favorably Impress his constituents In the fclxth district Mr. Watson Is In favor of the Philippine tariff bill which passed the House only to be killed by the Senate. Mr. Watson is also in favor of the statehood bill which was likewise shelved by the Senate. His political o, :y. . ! .rito, however, have dellberutily maliciously lied about his cotin-jcticn vith these two bills. It has been stated that Mr. Watson together with the rest of the House voted favorably on these bills with the understanding that the Senate would kill them afterwords. This statement, however, was made after the Senate had killed the bills. The House has passed every bill for the correction of great abuses presented to it this year. The Philippine tariff bill, the statehood bill, the railroad rate bill, and the free alcohol-bill have all passed the House,, and whatever obstruction has been encountered has come from the Senate. This fact is so well recognized that It is foolishness to accuse Mr. Watson and his collegues of collusion with the Senate, when it Is well known that the House has been acting at the dictates of the entire country passing measures which have 'caused the Masters of the Senate, the "spec

ial interests," no end of trouble and

worry. Mr. Watson is not and never

has been otherwise than faithful in the

discharge of his duty to his const! tu

ents In the sixth district. During the

present session of congress ho has

been distinguished above all other representatives by his fearless fights In favor of measures demanded by the

people. He has been ono of the staun

chest and foremost champions of the

free alcohol bill, a measure which is

aimed at the powerful Standard Oil

Trust Mr. Watson was also the au thor of two bills aimed at the Tobac

co Trust which were defeated in the House. Surely if a deal Is on between 'the House and the Senate nothing would have been easier than for the House to have passed these bills, and the Senate could then have killed them. The truth of the whole matter Is that Mr .Watson's opponents are

so hard pressed to find a logical sub

Ject upon which to criticize him, that

they have to stoop to , mere general

izatlons absolutely devoid of any foundation. And such attacks as these

have not lessoned the regard in which

Mr. Watson Is held throughout the

sixth district, but on the contrary have gained for him many new friends and

supporters among thoso who believe In

xlprlght and not mudsllnglng methods

in politics.

Harry Meek, Wayne township as-

Bessor, has completed the work of the annual assessment and his returns

which were made to the county auditor last evening were the first to be-

returned by any township In the county. The work of assessing was not only performed In excellent time, but Its thoroughness Is to be Indicat

ed by the fact that the Increase of the assessed valuation of taxable property In Wayne township as shown by Assessor Meek's returns, is In excess of $100,000, as compared with the total valuation last year. This. Increase was not confined to a certainkind of property, but was divided among city assessments and those outside of the city, showing that an effective canvas

of the assessors was made. The total assessed valuation of property, both real and personal, in the township, including the city of Richmond, is $13,027,680. This of course does not Include the assessments of banks, telephone and telegraph companies, and other incorporated concerns, which are fixed by the Wayne County board of review. Assessor Meek's

excellent showing the first t ja of his service as township assessor Is warmly commended by county officers. The table above was compiled by Assessor Meek ,and it shows the assessed valuaton of property in the city of Richmond, the township outside of Richmond and tha corporation of Spring Grove, just north of the city.

PASTIME FOR GILBERT.

Hoosier Congressman Is an Amateur Photographer of Much Ability.

Palladium Special. Indianapolis, May 14. Representative Newton W. Gilbert, who leaves Washington next month for the Philippines, Is an amateur photographer of ability. His latest work In this line consists of a number of snapshots taken on the occasion, of the recent Jamestown trip of the congressional and newspaper party, of whic!r-he and Representative McKinley were the hosts.

Today Mr. Gilbert presented to

each member of the party an artistically bound volume of photos, entitled "A Day at Jamestown." His art has resulted In a souvenir of that historic old ground that will be treasured by

every member of the party. Among

The members of the Theodore Thomas Orchestra which appears in Richmonds Centennial May Festival are as a simple statement the ablest players upon -their instruments from the standpoint of genuine musicianship, and not mere featherweight virtuouslty, that can be found In the world. They are gathered from every quarter of Europe and America. Among them are dozens of artists who far surpass the great majority of the soloists on violin, 'cello and other instruments whom we are accustomed to hearing in small concerts at prices almost as large as those for which this whole aggregation can he heard, but the love of these men for great music is stronger than the lose of selfaggrandizment that is often a distinguishing mark of the solo pTayer, and they kel to their faith to the Infinite bettering of the culture and spirit of our people.

FACT THAT TAGGAJRT CONDUCTS GAMBLING JOINT AND THAT HE SOLD OUT FOLLOWERS IN 1904 IS AGAINST HIM.

Palladium Special. Indianapolis, May 14. Whether or not the present Democratic fight marks the beginning of the end of Taggart's leadership In Indiana, as many seem to believe, cannot be de termined at this time. The fact that former Mayor Holtzman and some of his lieutenants are inspired by a desire to get even with Taggart for per

sonal differences, has weakened their cause and prevented them from getting up a party fight on him.

The inside of tha situation is that

they are trying to clean up Taggart by organizing the radicals who sup

ported Hearst, in 1904, and who were loudest for Bryan In the two preceding national campaigns. It Is also the opinion of many who have carefully analyzed conditions that "Taggart is now paying a high price for the part he took in organizing the state for Judge Parker.

Judge Parker the Cause.

If he is to be retired as leader in his own state, his fight for Judge Parker really marked the beginning of the end, for there is no getting around the faet that there are a let of Democrats in Indiana who will never forgive him

for the part he took then. ThoBe who are co-operating most actively with Holtzman now are the Hearst radicals, who are claiming that Taggart, O'Brien and their associates sold out the delegation to the New York interests that launched the Parker boom. It is not being overlooked however, that many of the loudest opponents of Taggart and O'Brien are the very men who pocketed the money that was dumped into Indiana in the interest of Hearst. If one side took money the other has little to talk about on that score, but many politicians are saying that it is undoubtedly true that nothing has given Taggart such a black eye with his own constituents as the part he took on behalf of Judge Parker and his backers. His Gambling Hurts. Some of Taggart's opponents in the

present campaign have taken a cue from a speech Governor Hanly recently delivered, in which he said that the Democratic party cannot be intrusted with "house cleaning" because Taggart has large gambling Interests at French Lick. Taggart is now being called by some Intense radicals "Prince Tom of Monte Carlo" and "Lord High Protector of the Brewery Interests." The first title grows out of the fact that the casinos at French Lick and West Baden have for many years been rcVrred to as the Monte Carlos of Indiana. Taggart's business connection with Crawford Fairbanks, the millionaire Terre Haute brewer, has caused him to be called the protector of the brewery interests. Chairman O'Brien says that the breweries have not contributed a penny to the Democratic state campaign since he has been at the head of the organization. O'Brien and others stated, however, that the breweries contributed to the Democratic City Committee which had charge of Holtzman's campaigns. Taggart can no longer be accused of being protector of the breweries on Fairbanks's account, as they are not in business together, either here or at French Lick. It is probable, though, that? Holtzman will continue to make a fight on Taggart on the ground thf.t hels In the gambling game and is protecting the breweries.' Cincinnati Excursion.

The bank during the. past year has substantially increased its deposits, its loans and its profits and was never in a bettor or sounder condition than at the present time. The first regular exami;Uion of the bank after this shortage occured was made May 1st 1906, by J. M. Mclntosll the regular bank examiner who made such examination with full knowledge of all the facts and circumstlnces as above set out. The following letters of Mr. Mcintosh relating to the bank will be found self explanatory. Connersville, May 4, '06. Mr. A. D. Gayle, Richmond, Ind. Dear Sir: I enclose you such a let r as the Comptroller has authorized me to write. Should it become necessary you are at liberty to use it in any way. With kind regards and best wishes, I am Yours truly.

J. M. Mcintosh. The following is the letter referred

to above. To Whom It May Concern: This is to certify, that after a careful examination into the condition of the First National Bank of Richmond, Indiana made on this first day of May 1906, I find that the shortage in cash, for which it is alleged a formgr official in the bank is responsible, has been fully made good, without the loss of a dollar to the bank. I further find from the records of said bank that the said official is not now, nor has he been for a period of over four months, connected with this institution in any way whatever. Respectfully J. M. Mcintosh, National Bank Examiner. Richmond, Indiana, May 1, 1906. A. D. Gayle, Wm. D. Foulke, John L. Rupe, Charles F. Shiveley, S. E. Swayne, James W. Morrison, Daniel Moss. Directors. Left in January. Mr. Dulladway left Richmond in the early part of January. He went South, ostensibly to recuperate his health, and at the time he went away he had been made to feel that

prosecution wns not likely, Though

it is asserted that at the time the discovery of the shortage was made, he not only admitted his wrong-doing but stood willing to surrender himself to the authorities and re

ceive the penalty. The fact, how

ever, that the shortage had been

made good very promptly, made it

appear that such a procedure would be unnecessary and following Mr, DuHadway's resignation as cashier, which was promptly giveu, . he departed for the South. Never in vigorous health. Mr. Dulladway had broken down under the strain of his own knowledge of the shortage, and it is. believed that during a period of a year or more he had lived In hope of being able to recuperate his losses and thus covering up the shortage that had occurred. Neither bank officers, family or friends venture an opinion as to what caused Mr. Dulladway to draw upon the bank's funds. The opinion prevails, although it is lacking in anything tangible, to substantiate it, that he may have speculated in stocks, but if he did this all his deals must have been made out of town and through some agent, for Mr. Dulladway very rarely left his post of duty even for a day. Popular With Patrons. There were few bank officers in Richmond who were more generairy liked than Mr. DuHadway. He was popular with patrons of the bank and with all persons with whom he came in contact. The books under his care or immediate oversight shows that not a single entry was falsified. He did not appropriate funds to his own use by the methods generally adjpted. Money that he used was taken from the reserve fund which was kept within an inner vault of the bank safe. Whenever funds from this vault were called for, Mr. DuHadway always attended to the matter, possessing the combination of the vault. It was during his illness last December that it was found necessary to gain access to this vault and the combination in the possession of another officer would not open it The vault was then forced from its setting and the discovery made that there was a shortage. Mr. DuHadway was confronted and without hesitation admitted that shortage discovered was chargeable to him. He asked no consideration be shown him, in fact said he did not Intend running away but was ready and willing to give himself over to the authorities and receive his punishment. The full settlement followed as stated above, and being persuaded that the matter probably was at end, Mr. DuHadway left for the South. He had informed his wife of everything previous to his going away and It is asserted that it had been his intention to return, to Richmond within the next few weeks.

Great Surprise Shown. The greatest surprise was manifested on al! sides yesterday when former Cashier DuHadway's troubles became known. His long service in the bank had brought him friends who could scarcey believe the story until the verification came from the bank directors. Though Mr. DuHadway's friends make no attempt to excuse him for his wrong-doing, the evidences cf strong friendship for him that prevail on all sides is indicative of his great popularity. Apparently the bank officers themselves entertain the kindliest feelings for the man who had served the institution so many years and had served it faithfully and well until this fall. Those who know him best assert that it is not his nature to shrink from any responsibility, a fact that was evidenced when he not only admitted the shortage had been caused by himself, but also expressed a willingness to pay the penalty. Because of this beief .many of his friends express the opinion that he will return of his own volition when he learns that an indictment has been returned.

DISMISSAL THE PENALTY

FEDERAL MEN ARE WARNED

Government Man who Spits on Floor

of any Federal Building . Will Have Connection With Uncle Same Severed in Quick Manner.

Publishers' Pressl Washington, May 14. The government employe who spits upon the floor of a government building or office in the future is liable to summary dismissal from his position under rules

now being promulgated about the de

partments by order of the president.

The president considers that drastic rules of this kind are necessary to

prevent the spread of tuberculosis

among government employes. While there are other rules that must be observed particular stress is laid upon

the fact that moist spitum is the worst

possible form of communicating con

sumption to well people. Myriads of

consumption germs adhere to drinking glasses and may bs transferred from

the sick to the well by this method; by towels, handkerchiefs, soap and toilet articles; even tableware and objects of personal use.
