iam E. Ilinshaw will go back to the
benitentiary at Michigan City, tomor
row tn serve the rest of a life sen
tence for the murder of his wife.
Governor Ilanly, this afternoon, re
toked the parole upon which he wa3 eleased by Governor Durbln, about
two years ago, and ordered Ilinshaw
(remanded to the Marion county jail
hie telegraphed for Warden Reid, of
Michigan City prison, to come to In

Jprisoner back.
I Ilinshaw, the prison once more staring him in the face, refused to
(discuss the matter at all, after the
Governor gave his decision, this af

for a statement: '"I have nothing to say; nothing at all." His eyes were full and his
voice trembled, but he did not com

The decision of the Governor came with unexpected suddenness, owing to the complete confession of Ilinshaw this afternoon. In the hearing this afternoon, he made a clean
breast of the whoIe matter with reference to Mrs. Freeman. " lie admitted that he had improper relations with her at Shirley, as Freeman had charged, and as Mrs. Freeman had confessed. In the morning he had admitted that he and Mrs. Freeman were there; that, they stayed there all night; admitted that he wrote to Mrs. Freeman, who was an old-time sweetheart, immediately after he got out of prison; that she answered his letters, and that a considerable correspondence passed between them; admitted that several times they met at Lynn, Randolph county, by appointment, and that Mrs. Freeman's visit there to her sister, Mrs. C. R. Carter, was arranged for; admited it seems, that while she was there, the two went driving several times, both in the day light and after dark. He admitted, too, according -to the story that came from the Governor's room, that he met Mrs. Freeman at Shirley by appointment; thaf the two, with Mrs. Freeman's four-year-

drove the next day. In fact it seems
that he admitted the whole story, with the exception o the undue intimacy the night the two stayed a Shirley of at any other time. The testimony of every one else was almost convincing in its circum
stantiality, however, and Mrs. Freeman's confession, as recited by her husband, left no doubt in the minds of those who were present that the whole story was true, even before Ilinshaw confessed. Little Defense From Attorney. John S. Duncan, who was Hinshaw's attorney, made small effort at defense in his argument. There wasn't much he could say, those who were present acknowledged. The whole case was admitted; so Duncan based his appeal on the proposition that the defense was not!
grave enough to send a man back to the penitentiary for life. This was the burden of it. and it was not long.
Attorney-General Miller made a short -speech in answer to this. Attornev
Milner, of "Wabash, Freman's attor ney, did no make a speech.
Governor Hanly seemed to have
made up his mind, after Ilinshaw's confession. After tie two short speeches by Miller a ad Duncan, he addressed the prisoner, declaring that he was not fit to be outside the prison bars. The Governor's Remarks. "Sorry' as I feel for you personally." the Governor was heard to say, "I am convinced that the prison is the best place for you. I shall there fore revoke the parole granted to you. and you will tomorrow be taen back to Michigan City. That was all.
Publishers Press Washington, D. C. Nov. 9. Presi
dent Roosevelt feels aggrieved over
the attitude of certain people who have taken advantage of his freedom of expression in private conversation.
The case of the American professor who in accepting the Roosevelt chair
n the university of l3rlin quoted
the president of. the United States
as holding the Monroe Doctrine and
the protective tariff as obsolete,' is the most striking incident of this kind. There have been others of a less aggravated nature. The Presi
dent had them all in mind 'when1 he departed for Panama last night, for there was given out from the "White
House today the following memoran
dum:
"For many years it has been the i
invariable practice never to attempt
to quote a private conversation with
the president. It v has been found
that as m matter of fact the man who
old child, were there all night, and- quotes such a conversation usually
misquotes it, whether conscientiously or not; and such an alleged conversation is under no circumstances ' to be held as calling for either explanation or denial by the President. The President is responsible only for what he himself says in public, for what he writes, or for what he explicitly authorizes the proper government officials to state in his behalf."
One week from Monday the Elks' Fall Festival or indoor fair will open at the Coliseum and will continue each evening until Saturday, with possibly several afternoon "sessions" for the benefit of those who cannot crowd into the great building at night Plans for the big event are well under way at the present time and there is no chance for failure to make it an artistic success, while the interest that is being manifesed on every sicfe shows that from a financial standpoint it also will be a success. The Elks have not spared expense in their preliminary arrangements and in addition to what very large expenditures the organization has
made there has been in addition a very large amount of valuable donations from various merchants, manufacturers, etc. Given Lot in Beallview. The South Side Improvement As
sociation which is selling many lots in the new Beallview addition, yesterday gave the. Elks one of the best lots in the addition and somebody is going to get he piece of ground for a silver dime. Then there will be a $850 piano, three 60 steel ranges, 1,000 sacks of flour, fifty barrels of flour, fifty lawn mowers, 10 sugar cured hams, 10 barrels of sugar, suits of clothes, dresses, men's and women's hats, rain coats, shoes, slippers, boots, pictures and picture frames, and scores of things that cannot be enumerated in several columns of a newspaper. The full list of the donors will be given publicity later. Many of these valuable gifts are now on display in the windows of the Starr Piano Co. The "Lay Out" Planned. The "lay. out" of the Coliseum was planned yesterday by the executive committee. The "Country Store,' which made such a hit at the last fair will occupy most of the north side of the Coliseum. There will be a dazzling array of merchandise from bandana handkerchiefs to imported china and all at one price. There will be numerous gentlemanly clerks to serve the public and there will be such a stock of goods constantly on hand that everybody in the county ought to get in on the good things during the week. The flower booth will be by long the handsomest thing of the sort ever seen in Richmond and will rival in beauty the booths in the great flower shows of the big cities. The novelty booth, candy booth, commissary booth, chocolate booth and various other booths will all be attractive and they will be presided over by some of the popular society ladies of the city. Richmond Band Each Night. The Richmond band will play each night aud in addition to this there will be a free vaudeville entertainment nightly in which there will be featured one of the novelty acts of the big vaudeville circuit. In fact, summing up the Elks' fair this far ahead, it appears there is nothing to it but success and the public is going to get much for their small. investment, the Elks say.

Marshall, who succeeds to th general management of the Bickford & Huffman Division, Is now sales man
ager for that company. Mr. Colley's mantle will fall up capable shoulders, as Mr. Marshall has not only a thorough experience In the manufacture and sale of seeding machines, but the ability to take up the work where Mr. Colley leaves oft and carry it on successfully. Mr. Marshall was for a long time connected with the Hoosier Drill Company of Richmond, Ind., occupying various positions and being promoted from time to time. With Mr. Colley, he shares the credit of having pushed the Bickford & Huffman line to the front." The company could have made no better choice for the position of general manager. .
