WILL HOT CHANGE METROPOLITAH LAW

The Present Police Statute It Is Said, Will Remain Just As It Is. ANTI-TRUST BILL TODAY BIG DOINGS EXPECTED WHEN SENATOR HAWKINS' MEASURE IS CALLED FOR SPECIAL CON - SI DERATION -OTHER NOTES. (By Demas S. Coe.) Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 2S. It is said toYbe practically settled, so far as it is possible, to "settle" anything bejore a legislature considers a matter, that the metropolitan police law, operative in Richmond and other cities, shall not! ba repealed. , The legislators who i represent counties in which there are j cities affected by such a repeal, will, at 1 .T.- . i A .1 If. jl is ift;i it-u, isiiiuu iigiiiiiM uic

The Richmond metropolitan police depart ment, from Supt, Daily down, need have no real apprehension at this time, and unless something should de velop that is not now visible, the law will stand. Senator Will Wood will make a desperate fight to have the salsirics of the police department mem bers increased, but he recognizes that this Is to bring about as fierce opposi lion In the general assembly as the proposition to repeal the law creating metropolitan forces. As a general proposition, a bill which carries with it a proposed increase of salaries, is viewed with alarm by legislators, hence the police salary measure will have its knockers from the word go. A strong effort will be made to impress upon the senate, where the bill will first be considered, that it sim' ply is a case of justice to increase the salaries of police force members. Senator Wood will present statistics to phow that they ajreamong , the most poorly paid employes of municipalities In Indiana. There will be big doings tomorrow nfternoon when the Hawkins anti trust bill will come up for special con-! Kideration in the senate.

Appearing in an exchange, which came to the Palladium yesterday, was the following dispatch, sent out from Richmond: " ' "Richmond, Ind.,( Jan. 27. One of the most live topics in the middle west at this time is that of municipal own-

"Of late there have been reports that a large cq nbination of capital sought to secure control of -many of the electric plants in the state where there are both municipal and private plants and this has served to call at tention to the . many troubles that these various municipal ownership plants are having, reports indicating that at no point has the municipal ownership plan proven entirely satisfactory. Many difficulties have been encountered In the effort to make them self-sustaining. "Richmond furnishes an example of this, and just at this time a merry war is on between the municipal and private plants. The private company, which formerly lighted the street, is rebuilding its plant and is going after the commercial business, while the municipal plant Is installing a new unit and is calling upon the general public for its support. The new unit will be completed insideof a month. "Those who are favorable to munic ipal ownership contend that the Rich mond plant has cost by far too much and that it is not now furnishing street' lights as cheaply as a private plant could do it and stands ready to do It Investment in the Richmond plant Is at this time well on to $250

THE MEASURE IS DOOMED UNDERSTOOD THAT IT WILL NEV ER GET BEYOND THE COMMITTEE TO WHICH IT WAS REFERRED. Indianapolis, Ind.,' Jan. 2S, (Spl.) Senator Cavins threw a bomb into the senate this afternoon in the shape of a bill which proposes to permit women to vote and hold office in any town or incorporated city in the state of India na. The bill was short. That is all there is to it, but it means a lot of trouble in the legislature if the committee which will consider it, recom mends it for passage. Senator ' Ca vins is a young man He is married. He is good looking and he is doomed to get his picture in the newspapern if not in the magazines. It was suggested tonight that the women of the state who have been rampant for suffrage for years might immediately start a subscription for the purpose of creating a fund for a Cavins statute in the "hall of fame" in Wash-; ington. Seriously considered, the bill has its supporters among the members of both houses and there is no question that there will he some women lobbyists in the state house before many hours pass. It was said however, soon after the introduction of the bill, that an effort would be ! made to have the committee kill it in ' order to do away with prolonged diss cussion.

SO SAYS AMERICAN CONSUL CAUSE OF THE FAMINE WAS A FLOOD IN JUNE AND JULY WHICH COVERED THE SOUTH ERN WHEAT FIELDS. Publishers' Press. J Washington, Jan. 2S. Consul Haynes, at Nanking, China, informed the state department today that the famine in the empire is ten times Dr. Henry M. Woods, of the' Southart; au" lu, ' lamme ana tnat about 4,uuu,uuu are absolutely destitute and on the verge of starvation. He refers to the pitiful sight of parents offering their children for sale for from $2 to $4. This is seen daily on the streets of a large number of towns in the northern and of the province of Kiangsu. He says that brigandage and robbery are everywhere rife. It appears that the cause of the famine was the floods caused by unusually heavy rains during June and July of 1906. The official in charge of the Grand Canal, and to avert a local flood, turned the vast mass of water into the southern coun try, flooding it for miles from one to six feet in depth before the wheat harvest had been gathered and threshed. LOCAL SHIPPERS HAPPY ENOUGH FREIGHT CARS This City is a Central Point of the Panhandle Freight Lines Thus Giving the Local Shippers Satisfactory Service. While most all of the other towns upon the Pennsylvania railroad of Richmond's size are clamoring for better freight service, Richmond ship pers are taking things easy, as they ; are supplied with all the freight cars they need, in that Richmond is a cen-' tral point. Cars partly loaded centering In Richmond but whose freight goes to one point, are unloaded and all . freighloaded in one car. It has been known that as high as five freight cars whose contents were bound for eastern points have been unloaded and all placed in one car, leaving four . in Richmond for the use of Richmond manufacturers. j At the present time freight condi-!

CHILD LABOR TOOK OP DAY IN SEKATE

benatOr BeVeriaqe Continued; with His Speech and Has Still More to Say. HAS TILT WITH SP00NER WISCONSIN SENATOR WOULD HAVE IT BELIEVED THAT HE, AND .COLLEAGUES ARE INTER ESTED IN PROBLEM. Publishers F.ss.l Washington, Jan. 28. Mr. Beveridge of Indiana consumed almost the j entire day in the senate in continuation of his child labor speech of some days ago. He had not concluded when adjournment was taken and will take the floor again tomorrow. His desk and those on each side of it were piled high with law and reference books from which he frequently quoted. On the wall of the chamber just back of him were two large maps, painted and marked to bring out In relier the anthracite coal region and the cotton factory states, they being unusually large emploj-es of child labor. His sharp criticism of the child labor laws of a number of states drew the fire of many senators. Mr. Bacon, (Ga.) attempted to defend his 6tate but Mr. Beveridge declared that the law there was just what the manufacturers want and that it was not worth the paper it was printed on. Tillman Says its Hellish. Mr. Tillman admitted that the employment of children in his state was "hellish" and he urged the presentation of such facts from responsible sources as would convince the legislatures of the different states of the existence of the present evil so they would repeal the influence of northern millionaires who were operat: ing plants in the south with child ren. During the discussion Mr. Spooner asked Mr. Beveridge whether he thought he was more in earnest than bis colleagues in wishing to remedy child labor evils. The Indianian said he was. "I deny it," replied Mr. Spooner. Snooner Grows Sarcastic. Mr. Spooner grew, sarcastic. He said he had been in the senate" much longer than Mr. Beveridge, but that if he stayed a little longer he could (Continued on Page Two.) TRACTION ROADS WILL BE HARD HIT Two Cent Fare Will Hurt Them Worse Than it Will Railroad Companies.

this city for the past few days, all re ott g,d1e.n' Uta?' each emer will receive lo as prize money. Mr. caused by the attitude the Indiana Moore but recently expressed his wilgeneral assembly has taken upon the Hngness to give $100 each year, to be uniform two cent rate law. It is almost ! distributed for oratory or debate, to be a certainty that the law will be pass-1 "sed s the Earlham authorities saw

ed by the legislature and the railroad and interurban officials are look ing about for a soft spot to alight. The railroad officials however, have ! expressed their willingness to the proposed lowering &f the rates while ; the interurban officials have been 1 working not to prevent the lowering of their rates, as at the present time interurban passenger rates are two cents and in many cases even lower, but the interurban officials are fighting the proposed law because it will will mean much to the interurbans as railway papers and magazines show that at the present time the interurban roads of the United States arc pajing no dividends to stock holders while some of the smaller lines are barely able to pay interest upon their bonded indebtedness. In case the state legislature decides on a uniform two cent railroad passenger rate the interurbans will have to reduce their rates accordingly in order to successfuhy compete with the steam roads.

WAS $90 IN PRIZE MONEY ON MARCH 8 THE QUAKERS WILL MEET WABASH HERE AND ANOTHER TEAM WILL GO TO BUT- - LER AT. INDIANAPOLIS. In the primary contest, which was held last night to pick Earlham's representatives for the triangular debate between Earlham, Butler and Wabash, March 8, Mr. Llewelyn of Sheridan, Ind., Oliver M. Frazer of Richmond, Gustave Hoelscher of Richmond, Clyde Allee of Bloomingdalc, Lester and Chester Hay worth were chosen to represent the Quaker school. The three other men competing last night for a share in the honor were Louis Mitchell of Tippacanoe, O., Norman Wann of Vermillion Grove, 111., and John Heaton of West Elkton, O. The same question as will be discussed on the night "of the big debates, received attention last night it being, "Resolved that the, interest of the laboring man would be better subserved by the policy of closed shop than by the open shop." All of the speeches showed room for improvement in that the majority of the speakers had either a weakness in presentation of argument or in rebuttal. Rooms will be fitted up In the college dormitory by the young ladies of the school and a strenuous effort will be made by the team members to rectify their weakness before the time of the big debates. inrougn the kindness or Aman j ey would-be used for debate was j i largely the reason that so many young ; men of the college turned their at-i tenticn to forensical lines. On the night of March 8. Earlham will take the negative side of thai question with Wabash at home while the team leaving the city will debate Butler at Indianapolis on the affirmative. Butler will send a team to Wabash on the same night. Although an innovention In debating circles of the state, the triangular debate is expected to prove the success Intend ed and tne Quakers hope to win In both the debate at home anq abroad.

ITIONAL PANEL ORDEREOJV JUDGE First venire of Talesmen Nearly Exhausted in Securing Two More Jurors. miss Mckenzie the actress remains WITH THAW'S WIFE AFTER A SHARP TILT WITH MOTH- . ER AND SISTER. IPublishern Tress. J New York, Jan. 28. When court afi journed tonight niue jurors had been secured to pass on the guilt or innocence of Harry Kendall Thaw, accused of the murder of Stanford White, and' the original venire of two hundred talesmen had been so far exhausted that Justice Fitzgerald, who is presiding, directed that one hundred additional names be drawn from the special jury box and that the men l directed to be on hand when court opens Tuesday. The two Jurors secured today are: ' Charles D. Newton, S3 years old:1 married, retired railroad clerk, 2Ci West 134th street Lewis Haas, 30 j-ears old, unmarried, manager, 127 West 96th street. The proceedings today were dreary in the extreme, the questioning: of talesmen by the attorneys being along the usual lines and nothing of moment . occuring to break tho monotony of tha proceedings. Thaw the Final Arbiter. The eighth juror was secured at tho morning session but It was not until just beforo court adjourned for the day that Haas, the second unmarried man selected, was pronounced acceptable by both rides. He Is a candy manufacturer and the youngest of tho nine men, has black hair and a pleasant clean-shaven face. His answers were given in a clear voice and in each case after a careful weighing of the questions asked In his mind. ' Thaw himself continues to be the final arbitor of the Qualifications of the jurors. Twice this afternoon when a talesman had passed muster to the satis1 . . . . ... a jury. Thaw ordered the mans exclusion by peremptory challenges. The district attorney also used two fnoro peremptory challenges but all the rest ' of the talesmen got off easily be--cause of opinions about tho case, or acquaintance with cither White or Thaw. Additional Panel Ordered. Newton was secured at the morning session, but it was only after disposing of a score of the remaining ninety talesmen that the eighth place In tho box was filled. It was then that Jus-' tice Fitzgerald ordered the summoning of the additional panel of one hundred men, so as to assure the filling of tho jury box without delay. Thaws sextet of lawyers was short today when the trial began, Dan O'Reilly and Delmas wore not in their usual places. The absence of tha California lawyer gave rise to the report that he had made good his rumored threat to withdraw from the case If Evelyn did not dispense with Mae McKenzIe, her chorus girl companion and chum. But it was announced by Mr. Hartridge that his western colleague was suffering from a severe cold. He was under the care of" a physician, though his condition was not serious. Half an hour after the session began Dan O'Reilly appeared, smiling and bland. IIo had been delayed by business and "slow subway service he said. Delmas, Tiowever. did noC come to court during the day. Court Room Was Cold. The court room was so cold today that everybody sat huddled up in wral8 ana snivermg. Finally, at 12:0.1 P- m- Justice Fitzgerald, who had been Pac,nK P ana down behind his chair to keep warm, ordered a recess until 2 p. m. It was explained that the heating apparatus was out of order, but the difficulty, whatever It was, was remedied during the recess. For the first time since the trial began the entire Thaw party, his mother, his wife Evelyn, his sister, Mrs. George Carnegie and the Countess ot Yarmouth, and his brother Joslah Thaw, his brother In-law, George Carnegie, as well as Mrs. Evelyn Thaw's actress friend, Mae McKenzie were ! in court during the day and this visib ly pleased the accused when he waj escorted Into court. Evidence of Row Shown That there actually Is a row between the women relations of Thaw, no matter what the family and lawyers may say, was shown by the attitude of the women during the recess hour. The five women, including Mae McKenzie, had gone into the small room where they were to have their luncheon. Mrs. William Thaw, the mother and her two daushters, tho countess or vat - month ;n Afro r,. one nld'i of the room, while Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, the wife of 1he defendant and Mae McKenzfe took seats on the other side. A pot of coffee containing enough to fill three cups, and some sandwiches, were sent In from a restaurant for the mother and her, two daughters, while Mrs. ITarrv Thaw and her friend drank cold milk: Trhlcb. they had,
