Fags Four. THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM NATION'S DEFENSE ' TO BE EXPENSIVE En(rd at Richmond Postofflce as Second Class Matter oo oo TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 13, 1906

Coming Legislature Center if Interest From the present indications when the General Assembly meets seven weeks hence it will commence one of the stormiest sessions ever held in Indiana. Reformers are absolutely determined to have things their nay and the more or less "special interests" are equally determined that the reformers way shall not act to their detriment. Governor Hany as one of the leading reformers will be much in evidence, as likewise will Thomas Taggart who is nor never has been considered a reformer, but on the contrary is considered by most people as one of the staunchest supporters of the liquor and gambling interests, and necessarily closely connected with corporations desiring special consideration at the expense of the people. In view of the very small majority of Republicans in the House, Governor Hanly will have his hand3 full to get the legislation he wants through the General Assembly this year. Some of the measures up for consideration are enough to set a man of Thomas Taggart'swell known sympathies wild. In the first place it is proposed to make a more effective blind tiger law, and secondly it is proposed to pass a law permitting remonstrances by cities and counties, as well as by townships. Both these proposed measures are receiving the support of the Indiana AntiSaloon League, which during the past year has made a systematic campign to arouse public sentiment in favor of legislation along this line. Now Mr. Taggart does not care a whoop for the Indiana Anti-Saloon League but he does care about the measures it proposes to have ( passed, as such action would seriously interfere with the lucrative business of some of his best friends. Take Crawford Fairbanks for example. Owner of probably the largest brewing interests in the state, close personal and political friend of Mr. Taggart, is it likely he would consider that friendship as bearing much fruit if Mr. Taggart did not exert all his Influence to prevent these measures passing? The Republicans only have a majority in the House of six and already a campaign has been started to win over some of the Republican members or at least make them lukewarm in supporting measures obnoxious to Mr. Taggart and his friends, by reasoning that the smallest of the Republican majority is a rebuke to the measures proposed by Governor Hanly. The fight in the coming session boiled down is simply a fight to see whether Indiana shall have good government or bad government Whether Governor Hanly aided by the Anti-Saloon League shall makethe saloon power subservient to the state, or the saloon and gamblingj power shall run the state to suit itself. With a large Republican majority there would have been no doubt as to the ultimate success of the reformers represented by Governor Hanly. But with only a scant six majority and Thomas Taggart at the head of the Democrat party the governor will have his hands full.

nection with the murder of Edwin Edgar, in West Haven township, Nov. 7,

There was no evidence of a struggle in the bedroom. On a stand near the bed stood a -glass with a spoon and a white tablet beside it. Edgar wa3 found in the road near his home shot dead. In the course of investigation the coroner's jury found that Edgar and Seely quarreled a number of times. Seely was suspected and the officers secured from his wife a statement that there was a long secret enmity between the two men because of an imputation by Edgar against her. She told the officers that her husband had been subject to violent spells for a year and said she believed he ought to be in an asylum. Both Seely and Mrs. Seely were to have been witnesses at the inquest into Edgar's murder. It was when he went to their home to-discuss the inquest with them that Seely's brother found the couple dead.
