WAS MUCH EXCITEMENT THOSE OPPOSING THE BILL HAD

BEGUN TO CELEBRATE WHEN RATLIFF ANNOUNCED CHANGE IN HIS VOTE. Indianapolis. Ind., Feb. 20. (Spl.) By changing his vote at the last moment, Representative Walter RatlifT, of Wayne County, saved the high license bill from being indefinitely post poned in the house this afternoon. Representative Ratllff had first voted to accept the report of a committee recommending the indefinite postpone ment of the measure. After he had rhanged his vote the bill was advanced to second reading. The scene was one of the most dra matic of the present session of the ' legislature. Those who were opposed to the bill had practically commenced a celebration, while the friends of the measure were correspondingly depress ed, when the Wayne county legislator pained the attention of Speaker Branch and announced that he de sired to change his vote, explaining that he believed the bill should be advanced to second reading so that it might be printed and laid on the desks of members of the house. The Roll Had Been Called. The result of the vote had not been announced and Mr. Ratliff's change being recorded the vote announced was 47 for the indefinite postponement against 48 who favored the $1,000 license. The contest for and against the high license bill commenced shortly before noon Wednesday afternoon, when the house committee on public morals submitted its report. There was a divided opinion among members of the committee. Messrs. Morton , Kelly, White TJlrtch and Springs signed - - a favorable report while the minority re-1 port recommending" indefinite post-! pbnement, was signed by Messrs. Hot-1 tel. Pierson and Loudon. The debate on the minority report was started by J. Mojroe, Fitch, republican, of Delaware county, who denounced the bill with all the power of his personal mannerism. He stated that he had never been connected with the saloon element and had never had any of the liquor people among his clients. He charged that some saloon men favored the bill so that they could get a monopoly of the liquor traffic and in stating that he opposed the bill, said that he was like just 1,000 Delaware residents who had signed a petition asking that he vote against the bill and as he made the announcement, he waived the petition and asked that it be made a part of the records. Representative Fitch, during the day took occasion to denounce the Indianapolis News, owing to the fact that in one of its issues it had, he said, "practically charged all legislators who voted, or were in favor of killing the bill, as having been corrupted." Representative Kelley, of St. Joseph county, as well as almost every member of the house, was heard on one side or another of the question and there was not a moment during which charge and counter charge and the Indianapolis papers came in for more than their share of harsh treatment In fact, at one time there y,h ready for Introduction, a resolution intended to exclude from the floor of the house at least one member of the editorial force of tho News.

Minneapolis, Minn., Feb., 20. Sev en women fainted at the grand lodge meeting of the Minneapolis branch de gree of honor today during the excite ment and arguments incident to the discovery that 450 women had cast 473 votes for a minor officer.

LANDED IN JAIL AS RESULT OF A JOKE Actors at the Phillips Make Girls Believe They Are Bold Bad Robbers. GIRLS TELL THE POLICE OFFICER WESTENBERG CAUGHT ONE OF THE JOKERS AFTER A HARD RUN WAS TAKEN BE FORE SERGEANT BETZOLD. The spectacle of a policeman in hot pursuit of two well dressed young men at a late hour Tuesday night attract ed the attention of belated pedestri ans on Main street in the immediate vicinity of Sixth. The pair "split out" when they reached the last nam ed thoroughfare, one of -them going north at a race horse gate, while the other continued in a westerly direc tion. The minion of the law, who. was Patrolman Westenberg followed the former, and finally caught him in the -rear, at,, the. Phillips .. theatre. A few minutes later Westenberg's captive was standing in front of the desk of night Sergeant Betzold explaining matters. ' The young man and his companion are both vaudeville actors appearing at the Phillips this week, and while ambling along Main street at the con clusion of the show they formed the acquaintance of a couple of girls. They at once began "kidding" the damsels, and finally told them that thev were bold bad burulars. and had "framed up" to break into the Hoosier dry goods store. Shortly after leav ing their chance acquaintences the girls met Westenberg, and told him or the evil designs or the young men, and he immediately started down the street to arrest them with the result above mentioned. As soon as. the frightened prisoner had finished his explanation, and es tablished his identity beyond all doubt he was given his liberty. It is a dead sure thing though that neither he nor his companion will ever again do any "joshing' along this particular line in Richmond or anywhere else. I.&E.

THE VOTE STOOD 43 TO 27

ENTIRE DAY TAKEN UP WITH SPEECHES FOR AND AGAINST THE WESTERNER BEVERIDGE PLEADED FOR RETENTION. Publishers Press. Washington, Feb., 20. After a con tinual struggle, bordering from the time he was elected a United States senator by the Utah legislature three years ago and lasting on up to the present time, Senator Smoot late this afternoon triumphed over the efforts of his enemies to oust him from his seat in the upper house of the national congress. By a vote of 43 to 27, the senate defeated a resolution providing that he be expelled. This is a severe defeat to the antiSmoot forces who have been clamoring for the senators retirement and who have been waging a most stren uous campaign throughout the country to turn public sentiment in their favor. At times the fight has been exceedingly bitter and both sides to the controversy have enlisted men and women of national prominence to the support of their respective causes. The action taken this afternoon is a complete victory for Senator Smoot and it is believed that no further ef forts will be expended in opposing him. The whole fight has centered on Smoot's connection with the Mormon church of which he is a member. Women who have been working: to drive the last vestige of polygamous practices from the United States have made of him an especial target. After the vote was taken resulting in the senators victory he was made the center of an enthusiastic crowd of his friends who united in congratulating him upon his final triumph. Great Crowd Present., In anticipation of the closing debate and final vote on the resolution declaring Smoot not entitled to his seat as a (Continued on Page Three.)

STAND OF THE BUTCHERS

Present Agitation has Hurt Their Business and They are Anxious That Council Make it Possible to Sell Pure Meat. The local meat dealers are manifesting great interest in the movement to bring about a more complete inspection of cattle that are slaughtered in this city, and say that they will hail with joy the day when they will be enabled to place upon their counters pork and beef that bears the mark of the government. They are anxious that there should be as lit tle delay as possible on the part of the council in arranging for methods of inspection that will insure to the people of Richmond absolutely pure and untainted meat. They admit that their anxiety for a more rigid inspec tion is due to the fact that the publi cation of the facts concerning the present inadequate system has caused a noticeable decrease in their business. The members of the committees on public health and morals to whom this matter was referred say that they will be able to frame up an ordinance on the subject between this time and the next meeting of the council March 4. This ordinance it is understood will require that all cattle slaughtered in Richmond shall come under the supervision of the government inspector. PROMISE TO J0D6E QUICKLY FORGDTTEH Shank Brothers Arrested Last Night for Stealing Pair of Rubber Boots. ATTEMPTED TO SELL THEM EFFORTS OF JUDGE FOX TO RE FORM YOUNGSTERS BY NOT PUNISHING THEM, FAIL IN THIS INSTANCE. The Shank brothers Willie and Clarence although they have not been in this wicked world a ereat many years, the oldest of the pair being scarcely thirteen, seem determined to hold a place in the public eye. It has only been five days since they were arraigned in the juvenile court, and confronted with three separate and distinct charges of larceny. They frankly admitted that they were guilty of the theft of a horse, a cow, a number of chickens, and had made an earnest ' effort to steal a buggy. With kindly words of advice and a warning not to appear before him again, Judge Fox gave them their freedom, and never were two youthful culprits more profuse in their promises to live a circumspect life. Late yesterday afternoon these pre cocious lads were strolling along Main street when a pair of rubber boots in front of the store of NefE and Nus baum attracted their attention, and they loitered in the vicinity of that estaMisliment lor a lew minutes. When thej- left, the articles in question also disappeared, and not long after they were endeavoring to sell them at the Brooks' second hand store ; Satisfied that the boots had been stol en the proprietor refused to purchase them, telling the boys that they would have to get a note from their parents giving them permission to make the sale. They left the place, but were soon back with the necessary note, which had evidently been written by the elder brother. During their ab sence the second hand man notified po lice headquarters, and just as they were departing from the store an of ficer took them in charge. In the conversation that they had later with Superintendent Bailey, they voluntarily confessed to the theft of a shot gun from John Underhill, an employe of the street cleaning department, who lives in Fairview. They were sent home in charge of an officer with orders to appear at headquarters this morning at 8 o'clock with their parents. The police are confident that Judge Fox will send them to the Plainfield reform school. Demas Coe has Grippe.

Extra freight No. 103 which carried two engines and three freight cars, in charge of Conductor G. B. Miller, approached Kitchell's running at a high rate of speed. Not thinkin gthat No. S3 had stopped at the station, and having received no orders, 103 went into the little town at full speech It was not until the freight had come within a few yards of No. 83 that the train was visible, and then Engineer Chrisler, of the social called to his fireman to jump. This he did, but Christler stuck to his post, and his engine was overturned and he received several very painful and serious scalds from escaping steam, in addi tion to a large and ugly cut on tne head. The caboose of No. 83, in which the passenger was sitting, was splintered, and the man instantly killed. He held a round trip ticket for College Corner, Ohio, and was a man of about fifty years of age. As to his name, no 5ne could learn, as his body had not been recovered at an early hour this morning, -the wrecking crew from Peru not having arrived upon the scene., "Precautions were taken by both train crews that the wreckage did not take fire. j IN FIT OF DESPONDENCY STYNER ENDS HIS LIFE Had Been General Manager of Mexican Central and Was Removed Because of a Consolidation With the National Lines.

A CLASS SCRAP UNLIKELY Earlham College Students Will Probably Observe Washington's Birthday Sanely. As a result of a feeling which has prevaded the Earjham college social life, perhaps inculcated by the enpression3 of disapproval by the faculty and editors of the college paper it is hardly probable that there will ba the customary riotous demonstration on Washington's birthday, this year. For many years however the customary preparations have not been made and if there is any display of class feeling it will more than likely that it will take a saner form than heretofore.

ADMITS SPENDING $2,500 STORY OF POLICE JUDGE'S DEALINGS WITH RHODIUS AND DARE WOMAN IS PARTLY REVEALED. Indianapolis, Ind., Feb., 20, (Spl.) After withstanding a gruelling examination at the hands of Henry Spaan, attorney, for more than two hours In the circuit court, this morning. Police Judge Thomas C. Whallon was forced by Judge Henry C. Allen to tell the whereabouts of George Rhodius and his wife, Elnia Dare, a resort keeper of this city, whoso attorney Whallon is. Whallon also made many admissions concerning his employment as attorney , f or-vtheu Jlhodluaea, , anLadmitted that he advised tho Dare woman and her alleged husband to leave New York city at the time detectives from Indianapolis and other citijj were hot on their trail. This, Whallon admitted, was after he had learned that the Dare woman was charged with kidnapping Rhodius and marrying him in Louisville, when he was in bad mental and physical condition. In Sanatorium at Markleton, Pa. After many attempts on the part of Attorney Spaan to compel Whallon to tell where Rhodius is. Judge Allen, who heard the evidence with Probate Commissioner Merle N. A. Walker, ruled that the question of the appointment of Hugg as personal guardian for Rhodius might be settled at a later date and that Whallon should answer Spaan's question. Thereupon Judge Whallon said that Rhodius Is now at a sanatorium at Markleton, Pa., ninety-three miles east of Pittsburg, on the B. & O. railroad. Carl Hunt, a reporter for the Indianapolis Star, who went to Markleton and wrqte a story apparently for the purpose of showing that Rhodius is not insane, corroborated Judge Whallon's statement.

STAMPED FOOT IN ANGER

WITNESS ADMITS SHE POSED FOR PICTURES UNDER DIRECTION OF WHITE HE PLACED MONEY IN BANK FOR HER. l Publishers' Press. J New York, Feb., 20. District. At. torney Jerome today took up the cross examination of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw where he had left off on the preceding afternoon and showed no mercy in his continued fire of questioning In bringing out tho dark spots of ths girl-wife's career. The witness while pale ' and at tim trembling from the searching questions put to her by the district attorney kept up a courageous bearing throughout the day. At times she became defiant with her answers and la reply to Mr. Jerome's severe questioning would say: "I don't remember." Then at other times she would angrily stamp her foot in emphasis to her replies. The district attorney lost none of his patience at her display of temper however, and conducted the cross-examination only more vigorously than before. It Is ex pected that he will consume severul days in the cross-examination of Mrs. Evelyn Thaw alone. Many Pictures Introduced. One of the most important phases of the testimony which developed at today's session as the introduction into evidence of a number of pictures of Mrs. Thaw taken In the studio of Stanford White. These were all "art studies" and many of them displayed her In loose gowns and w-rappers that showed her. features off to the best advantage. She said that Stanford White had been present at tho time these pictures were made. However, she denied very emphatically In answer to the district attorney's questioning, that she had even posed In the nude or had a cast made of her nude figure. Mrs. Thaw said that she has all thv pictures in a book taken in White's studio which the architect had giveu hen For thla book White is said to have paid several thousand dollars t and the plates of all the pictures wera immediately destroyed after cople had been made. Evelyn's Memory not Good. It was also brought out that Whlta had arrauged with a mercantile trust company a fund of $1,300 to be paid to Evelyn Thaw In installments of $23 per week while she wan out of work. This was early In 1902. Sho, would neither deny nor affirm tho truth of this but would answer with her persistent "I don't remember." The court room was crowded today with the usual throng of lawyers and spectators. Two members of tho British parliament were among the Interested ones T. M. Kettle of' Glesnevin. Ireland and Richard Hazel ton, of Black Rock, Ireland, repre Renting respectively. East Tyrono anl North Galway. They stayed In tho court room for some time and dis played great interest In the procedure ' of the district attorney's cross-exanv Inatlon. , Judge Gets Threatening Letter. Justice Fitzgerald today received a threatening letter. It was sent from St. Louis and accused the judge of ' siding with Jerome against Thaw. The writer threatened to kill Ju.tlce Fitzgerald and District Attorney Jerome if Thaw i3 convicted. A iuiiu uy Judice Fitzgerald may have a very far reaching effect 1 on the case. It has been held all llong that under the law, it is Imma.trial whether or not the story of Evelyn Nfsbit Thaw told her husband was true. If Harry Thaw believed It was. If the recital aided in unhingng his mind, that was enough. It vas, therefore, supposed f nat Mr. Jerome would not be able to go into the truth or falsity of statements Mrs. Thaw testified on the stant bhe told her husband. During cross-examination, Mr. Jer ome asked Mrs. Thaw if what slit told her husband regarding her asso ciations with Stanford White wa? true. There was an argument over "he admissibility . of the Question which endfd In Justice Fitzgerald admitting the question, holding that it vas permissible as going to show the credibility of the witness. The great question now is how far will this hrow down the bars and allow th iistrict attorney to introduce evidence n rebuttal for the purpose of showing hat the story was not true. The point s almost new and there, is no one vho can say what the result of the uling will be. There seems little leubt that if the court will allow It. Ir, Jerome will attempt to show tha nany of the statements Mrs. Thaw 'estlfied she made to her husband are not true. If he Is able to show thift It will, in a measure, discredit Mrs Thaw's veracity, and rerhaps rob hi of some of the sympathy she enlisted by her pitiful story. When court reconvened Mrs. Harrj Thaw was Immediately recalled and Mr. Jerome continued his cross-exam .nation. Her face was slightly flush ed as she took her place ia the wit ness chair. That Jerome, would not spare Mrs.
