Druggist Porter of Winchester wrote to Hecht, saying that he had failed to get 0. license and unless he .succeeded in doing so at a subsequent examination he would be com,'pelled to hire a prescription clerk, i Hecht answered the letter inviting .Porter to come to Evansville. Porter 'replied that he could not conveniently do so and the correspondence was . continued till Hecht offered to sell Lthe list of questions for the next ex'aminotlnn friT- tl'H cnvin" if the mnney was sent him, the list would be .sent by return mail. ' , The correspondence was laid before Governor Hanly and he commun icated at once with the prosecutor ot Randolph county and Hecht was in (dieted at the session, whish closc.d last night.

PARKER REPLIES TO' CRITICISMS Lynn Man Makes Defense LI i o A nrir In Drinimn LI in . 1110 Miiiun in uiiiiymy mo Wife to Dr. Hazlitt. PEOPLE CENSURING HIM IANY OF HIS NEIGHBORS SAY HIS WIFE WOULD NOT HAVE DIED HAD SHE BEEN GIVEN MEDICAL ATTENTION. a large number of people at Lynn arq criticising I. J. Parker for biingIng his wife to this city and allowing her to take treatment of Mrs. Dr. Hazlitt, who conducts a, sanitarium e on West Fifth street. Those in Lynn who have been censuring Mr. Parker say that he should never have allowed his wife under the care of a woman, who refuses to give drugs. Several have said that Mrs. Parker would not have died had she been given medical attention in the early stages of her illness. , Mr. Parker resenting these state ments has written a letter to the editor of the Lynn Herald in which he says: "Mr. Editor. I wish to say to the people if there are any who think I did wrong by taking my wife to Richmond for treatment. I pledged myself before God and man that I would love and protect as long as life lasted. I did my best to fulfill this promise regardless of cost and there were three good and true Odd Fellows stood by me. There was one doctor here told me that he could not cure her and no one else could, and doctors in Richmond told me the same but Mrs. Dr. Hazlitt of Richmond took her give her board and" nursed her for $10 a week, charged nothing for her treatments and had her improved all time and I believe would have cured her if she had not have taken the grip; she had cured cases worse than my wife's; cures cancer, hump back, cripples, this is the only case I known of her loosing. She wond not let my wife suffer any pain, $25 would not have gotten any better care than she got for $10 per week; if she moved day or night there was from one to three at her side; they gave her a heaven to go to, heaven in nothing lacking; a mother would not treat an infant child as good p.s my wife was treated; she was a mother and the rest, brother and sister to my wife and true Christian people. I did all I could, and they did nore than any one else could do for her, and I can never pay for the trouble to them. I. J. Parker. Is Greatly Improved. Henry C. Starr , who has been seriously 111 for the past few days, was greatly improved last evening. Hope Is entertained that Mr. Starr will be able, within a few days to resume bis duties.

AN UGLY CHARGE AGAINST WINGATE Aged Editor of Shelbyville Accused of Being Knight of Golden Circle. CONFESSION OF VETERAN SECRET OF TWO SCORE YEARS IS REVEALED SHOWING A PLOT WHICH WOULD HAVE MEANT EXECUTION AT TIME. C. C. Lyon, In his paper, 'the Shel byville Republican "publisnes a' highly sensational story, in which he says that John J. Wingate, the well known politican and editor was connected with the traitorous organization of "Knights of Golden Circle." , The published story in part says: "That John J. Wingate was a ring leader in the Knights of the Golden Circle has. been "revealed by a sworn statement made by James L. Capp, Civil war- veteran. ' A new light has been turned upon circumstances which for ' more than forty years have been veiled in mystery. ' , VIt"has remained for one Shelbyville man to unburden himself of secrets that have been locked in his' breast for more than two score years. .' , Suspicions that have been afloat in Shelby County since thev days of the great Rebellion are now confirmed. "If the statements of James L. Capp, are true, John J. Wingate stands convicted jt being a traitor to his country, and the prime mover in a plot against the government, which, if the facts had been proven at the time would have resulted in his execution by the government. "In a sworn statement last night; Mr. CJapp makes highly sensational charges against Mr. Wingate. At the ,same time he implicates himself with one of Wingate's'most-daring moves the theft in 1S63 of 40 government riues from the armory of the House Guards which at that time was .located in the Dr. Robins building in this city. ' "Capp does not spare himself nor try to mitigate his own crime. I believe that it is time that the truth about the theft of those guns and the inner workings of the Knights of the. Golden Circle should be known," said he last night. "Through the influence o Wingate I was made the scape goat and was charged with having engineered that plot and I was indicted by the Federal Grand Jury and tried on Wingate's testimony. I was acquited. 'In the trial of that case I was not placed on the witness stand, conse quently my story of the affair was never made public. By having me indicted Wingate" turned suspicion from himself. I now want to tell the truth about the matter and in order to do so I am compelled to charge that John J. Wingate was the real Instigator of the plot. His connection with the Knights of the Golden I Circle was clearly proven by. it.'

HORSES

President May Change First Instructions Which Were Given a Week Ago.

TO KEEP DOWN EXPENSES IT IS BELIEVED THAT SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF SOLDIERS ARE ALREADY ON THEIR WAY TO HAVANA. imibllahers Pr99j Washington, Oct. 5. The preside? has under consideration a modification of his instructions of a week ago directing the sending of six thousand troops to Cuba. He believes that the marines and blue jackets should be sufficient for every present requirement, .after the' arrival of the troops on the trans-' port Sumner. They number l.OOrt and will reach Havana in" a few days. , Secretary Taft will be communicated with, and If his, views are In accord with those of .the president, an? order will be issued, directing certain of the toops Included in the mobilization order. to remain at their posts.. Others that have moved on Newport News may be held there for a time pending further development. At the suggestion of the president Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte prepared a diagram' showing the disposition of marines in Cuba. It was this map, which was a center of Interest at the cabinet meeting today, that forced the conviction that for a people who were gracefully laying down arms, the Cubans were amply guard ed and property rights fully protect ed. ' According to this map the discription of the marines is as follows: Camp Havana. 404; Havana City, 30; Pina, 500; Cienfueges, 725; Spiritus, 142; Principe, 100. The Blue jackets are disposed of as follows: Constutia, 60; Nuevltas, 50; Sagua La Grande, 30. i There is no increased expense caused to the government by the ex-J tra duty that has been placed upon the navy through the Cuban trouble. But the placing of regular troops on a war Hooting is an increased ex-! pense, and the pay for transport services will be quite' heavy if the regulars called out are to embark for Cuba.
