Committee on Railroads Favor Passage of Bland's TwoCent Fare Bill. So a Resident of Economy Says in Speaking About Law and Order League. Legislature in Brief.
THERE IS NO HEED FOR MORAL WAVE
GEN. WALLACE'S STATUE
SENATOR MOORE'S BILL FOR APPROPRIATION OF $5,000 THEREFOR IS PASSED TO BEAUTIFY NANCY HANKS GRAVE. (By Demas S. Coe.) Indianapolis, Jan. 25. Tne senate transacted business today at a very rapid rate. A number of bills were introduced, reports of committees received, and several measures advanc ed to engrossment. Just before noon adjournment. Senator Crumpacker, chairman of the senate committee on railroads, submitted a report which, recommended for passage Senator Bland's 2-cent-fare bill. There were eight senate 2-cent-fare bills under consideration by the senate committee, and frequent meetings had to be held. The Bland bill, with the elimination of the emergency clause, was reported on as originally drawn. This bill embodies the penal ty clause for failure to buy tickets an excess of one-half cent a mile if cash fare is paid on board trains. This was the provision that the railroad companies earnestly requested should be included. The committee believed that this penalty would not prove a hardship to the patrons of railroads. Where ticket offices are not maintained patrons may pay cash' fares on trains without being subject to the penalty of au extra one half cent a mile. The penalty prescribed against railroads for a violation of the proposed act is a fine of not less than $25 and not more than $100 for each offense, the recovery to be made by suit hrought in the "name of the State of Indiana by the attorney general; One provision of the Bland bill.' different from most others, is that children between ages of five and twelve vr.irs Rhall not he charced in excess f, TVirt Ttlanrf 1111 will rfTYiA ltn On RPtfv fnd reading on Monday. ...... . ? Senator Thomas Moore's bill. Xo. 2$, to appropriate $5,000 for a statute of General Lew Wallace, to be placed in Statuary hall in the national Capitol at Washington, was passed. The measure was subject to debate on its second reading last week, when the democrats sought and failed to substitute the "name of Thomas A. Hendricks for that of General Wallace 1 and some of the republicans made an 1 effort to have the name of Benjamin Harrison substituted for that of Gen-! eral Wallace. There was no debate on the bill today and it passed 30 to 8. Senators voting against the bill were: I Benz, Kistler, Parks of Clark. Ranke, ' Slack, Shafer, Tyndall and Wood of Jackson. I 4p 4fr Senator Mock's bill) Xo. Co. changing the indeterminate senteuce in conviction for petit larceny from a term of one to three years to a term of one to eight years, was defeated. There were 12 for the bill and 29 against , 1L The opposition to the bill was based on the ground that it provided for too severe punishment for comparatively slight offenses. Senators Mock, Kimbrough and others who favored the bill, said the measure was to further the chances of reformation. The convicted man, it was argued, realizing that his maximum stay in prison could not be longer than three years, was in many -instances, difficult to coutrol, while the possibility of being confined a maximum period of eight years, has a tendency to make the convicted man "walk the chalk." Senator Slack's. joint resolution requiring voters to register, and also providing certain educational qualifications for voters after 1911, was advanced to engrossment without objection. The bill to place the burial ground At Lincoln City, Spencer county, in which repose the remains of Nancy Hanks Lincoln, mother of "Abraham Lincoln, under the state's care, was passed by a vote of 36 to 0. The bill was introduced by Senator Pelzer. The author made a short address explaining the provisions of the bill and expressing the hope that there would be no opposition. Senators Bland, Beuz. Kimbrough and Thomas Moore . strongly indorsed the bill. The bill creates a state commission, which tshall have full charge of the burial ground. The members are to serve without compensation, and one of the members is to be the secretary of the state board of forestry. The sum of $5,000 Is to be appropriated immediately after the passage and taking effect of the act, for the purpose of beautifying the burial ground, and onnually thereafter $500 is to be appropriated from the state treasury to care for the burial ground. " Among the bills recommended for passage, today was Senator Cavin's measure, permitting any savinga bank with a surplus of at least 5 per cent on deposit to pay trustees such trustees such amount as the directors l Continued to Page Eight.)

THE OLD GAME OF DELAY Attorney Latta Would Put Off Hearing of Centerville's Excess Fare Complaint. the It was not expected yesterday that Attorney Latta, of the Indiana, Columbus and Eastern traction company, would put in an appearance at the meeting of the county commissioners this morning, as he attempted to secure a further postponement of the consideration of the controversy over excessive charges on limited cars between Richmond and Centerville. The members of the board and the people of Centerville are tired of delays, however, and the matter will in all probability, be taken up, even if Mr. Latta is not present. MRS.

WRONG IMPRESSION OUT CLAIMS THAT A FEW NOTORIETY HUNTERS ARE MAKING OUT THAT THE TOWN IS BAD WHEN IT REALLY IS NOT. .
. The white winged dove of peace la not spreading its wings over the classic village of Economy at the present stage of the game. The formation of the law and order league, extended mention of which was made in the columns of the Palladium a few days ago, has engendered much bitter feel-
ing among the residents of that com- j ommended for passage by senate rallmunity.

ganlzation justifies the stand that it has .taken on the ground that the socalled law and order league has misrepresented conditions in the town by giving the public to understand that a disgraceful state of .affairs exists there. This is a blot on the fair name of Economy, which they vehemently assert is one of the most moral, arid orderly communities in the state of Indiana. "All this talk about Economy being overrun with 'bootleggers' and 'blind tigers' Is simply rot," said, a resident of the village last evening. "There is about as much need for a law and order league there as there is for five wheels on a wagon. AVhy as a matter of fact one of the most active workers in this league was until about a year ago a notorious card shark and booze fighter. He sold whisky over there for years, and now he is posing as a highly moral citizen.

COMPANY GETS MORE TIME
ATTORNEYS CLAIM THAT THEY THOUGHT THE ORDINANCE ; WAS NOT EFFECTIVE TILL NEXT MONDAY. There was a preliminary skirmish yesterday in the war that is now o 1 between the city authorities and the traction company. As the matter now stands the municipal officials are resting on their arms, and there is no prospect of hostilities being resumed until early next week and not then in case- the traction people decide "to be good," which is not among the probabilities. It was shortly after nine o'clock when one of the freight cars of the Indiana, Columbus & Eastern comDanv rolled down Main street and turned into Sth on its way to the interurban station. A minute later ' Patrolman Lawler and Winter escorted Riley Cook, the conductor and i Thomas Kinder, motorman to police f headquarters. John L. Robbins local i attorney of the company and City Attorney T. J. Study were at the station almost as soon as the officers and their prisoners. The two legal gentlemen at once became engaged in a lively argument as to when the provisions of the ordinance under which the arrest was made, became effective. Mr. Robbins contended that the time for enforcement would not begin until Sunday. The requirement was that it should be published once a week for two consecutive weeks. It was published the first time January 12 and a second time January 19, and Mr. Robbins declared that it should not go into effect until next Monday. After considerable discussion Mr. Study consented on the part of the city to agree to a suspension of the enforcement of the ordinance un til that time. 4 While the attorneys were arguing J. the Indianapolis & Eastern put in an PPf ranoe When asked by Mr. Stu4 " aY tatement to make with ri?jrr1 tn tha maftoi- iinlof Ala. cussion he replied in the negative. He aid that be had just learned of the ."stand pat policy of the directors, but he was under the impression that the ordfnance did not go into effect vuntil Monday, adding that a, car load of freight had just cdme the i city over his division. He stated that the D. & W. would observe t.a ,nanr.a a j . . t . ..y tne l.rac"on IePpie Ior an njunclion against the city. " - " - CROWDED HOTEL SFASnN : . ...

A measure that would affect the city court of Richmond, is pending before the legislature, and may be enacted into a law. This bill Increases the jurisdiction of city courts in cities of the fourth class, giving them jurisdiction in civil cases where the sum in volved does not exceed $1,000. Some of the members of the general assembly, it is said, have advanced the abolishment of the courts in the i class of cities named on the ground that there was not sufficient work to justify their continuance. The bill to increase their jurisdiction is sprung in order to head off - any movement contemplating the repeal of the statute creating them. - BOND NOW MORE STRICT DANGER APPARENTLY OVER No New Cases of Scarlet Fever Have Rooms Which Were Closed Will Return to School Monday. The scarlet fever situation In Richmond is at a standstill and no new cases have been reported at the health office for the past several days.

' ' .',''' The three "rooms at the Starr school and the three at the Whitewater school, will be reopened Monday, after a ten-days quarantine unless new cases make their appearance before that time. . Several parents having children in the rooms which were indirectly exposed, are still awaiting the development of the disease, in case there should be such, while many say that they will not allow their children to return to school until the disease is stamped out in its entirety. Dr. Bond and his assistants now feel that the fever is under control, and are of the opinion that it will have run its course within the next few days.

TALESMAN CAUSED A STIR ASKED IF HE HAD KNOWN STANFORD WHITE, HE REPLIED "I AM PLEASED TO SAY I DID NOT" HE WAS EXCUSED. Publishers' Press.1 , New York, Jan. 23. f When the criminal branch of the supreme court, over which Justice Fitzgerald is presiding, and in which the trial of Harry Kendall Thaw, for the murder of Stanford White, is proceeding, adjourned at 5 o'clock this afternoon, until Mouday morning, seven jurors to pass in judgment on the young Pittsburg millionaire had been secured and the special panel for the trial was less than half exhausted. In fact, to be exact, out of the 200 names originally taken from the wheel,, 97 had been quizzed by the attorneys on both sides and it now seems certain that the jury will be completed from tho first venire, something unusual in a. case of this nature." Had the court followed out its original Intention of holding a Saturday sitting, tho jury might have been completed tomorrow. Proceedings Rather Dull. The proceedings in the court room were on a par with those of the past two days, the monotonous questioning . of talesmen proceeding slowly and deliberately with nothing to enliven the crowd of interested spectators. Thaw himself continues to take an HCtlve part in the selection of the men. who will decide whether he is to go to the electric chair, to the confinement of a state institution for the insane, or ts to be permitted to again resume his place among his fellows, through con-1 vi the twelve Judges that hit murderous act was justified under the law. ' ' - Jurors Above the Average. - Tne u v . av.tc.a during tne ( first two days cf the trial appear to bemen above the average in Intellect All seem to be in prosperous circumstances.

Fair, a printer, the sixtythird talesman examined, was chosen as the sixth juror on the Thaw cas. The seventh. Juror is Malcolm S. ' Frazer, 40 years old, married, of 117. East 122nd street, and is un under-, wear salesman, i ' ' ' Many, Had Decided Opinions. ' : Most c tl..' uitsioien excused from ;. service had formed such decided oplnions as to disqualify' them. . . .There was one peremptory challenge by Mr. ; Jerome, in excusing' a . talesman named Charles 8. Neabit. The similarity in name to Harry K. Thaw's wife caused the examination to be followed with much Interest. Ho was apparently about to be accepted, when. Mr. Jerome challenged him. James M. Ketcham, a talesman. caused something of a stir by some of ' the answers he made to questions put to him., Ketcham said be is a travel-
ing salesman for an electrical supply firm. Asked ff he had' any conscientious scruples against capital punishment, he replied: "I have not, but I do object to the application of electricity as a means of carrying out such a penalty," with some emphasis. There ; was a decided murmur throughout the ; court room when Mr. Hartridge of counsel for Thaw asked Ketcham if he ; had known Stanford White. He replied: "I am -pleased to say I did not. A bailiff had to rap for order. He was excused. Daniel O'Reilly of counsel for Thaw , was quoted as saying concerning Harney: "On the assumption that a man who has voted to put a man to death on occasion will never vote for the execution of a second man, we want him on the Jury. That Jury said the man
was sane, out it was proven oerore Governor Higgins that he was insane, and the governor saved him. We believe Harn"- will never convict another : ' ?
