JUDGES GET AN INCREASE

IT IS THOUGHT THE GOVERNOR WILL NOT SIGN THE McCULLOUGH BILL, AND LET IT BECOME A LAW BY DEFAULT.

Indianapolis, Ind., March 4. Monday was perhaps the busiest day the law-makers of Indiana have experienced since the commencement of the present sessions of the legislature. Perhaps the most far reaching and vigorously, contended legislation was taken up and acted upon by the house which late in the afternoon by a vote of 83 to 23 passed the senate insurance bill, known as the Farber bill. There were many amendments offer-t-d but none which have other than a technical bearing on the bill.

There was hardly a member of the house who did not explain his vote

on the final passage of the bill and al

most without exception they stated that the measure was not what they had hoped for but rather than that

there should be no Insurance legis

lation they voted for the bill.

Those who continued the fight

against the bill up to the last moment

and who voted against Its passage

were Babcock, Baker. Gaylor, Elliott

of Wayne, Elliott, of St. Joseph,

Hays. Holloway, Joyce, Kimmel, Nor

wood, Ratliff, Sicks, Springer, Wat-

eon and Speaker Branche. Antl Trust Bill.

The next measure of importance taken up by the house was Hawkins, so-called anti-trust bill, as enacted by the senate. It was agreed not to

hear the minority report and allow

the bill to advance before making

amendments.

Representative Sweeney introduced an amendment which Is a direct 1Hv at the Associated Press. It

provided that any corporation which furnished news to 'newspapers must

furnish to all who are willing to pay

the nrice. It was adopted by a vote

' of 56 to 42 V - " . ' "! v" " Several minor amendments were of ered and the bill passed.

It is stated that the bill in its pre

sent form is really a compromise and will prove satisfactory to all parties concerned. Prospective Action. It in understood that the cities and

towns bill will come up for consider

ation just as soon as the senate has succeeded in getting rid of a large number of house bills which are ready for the attention of the senators. Metropolitan Police Bill. The McCullough amendments to the present metropolitan police bill was delivered yesterday afternoon to Governor Hanly. Under the rule he must either sign or veto in three days or the bill becomes a law without his signature. There are good reasons for the belief, tonight that the governor will allow the bill to become a law without his signature. Judges Get Increase. Senator Cavins bill which increased the salaries of circuit judges one thousand dollars went through the house in short, order late in the afternoon and will go to the governor tomorrow morning. . Blind Tiger Again. For a time this afternoon It seemed as though the druggists would win their battle against being in a position to be caught by the blind tiger. Senator Cox offered an amendment providing that druggists could sell liquor in quantities of a quart or more

on presentation of a prescription or n written statement of the purchaser to the effect that the liquor was to he used for scientific or medical rarposes. The amendment was adopted but the bill failed of passage ow nig to the fact that it did not get a constitutional majority. The vote was .23 to 19 and the bill comes up for future consideration.

New York, March 4. During the investigation of the wreck of the Brewster express on February 16, in which twenty-three lives were lost, the startling fact was developed this aft

ernoon that the New York Central officials were aware early in the morning of the day of the disaster that the track at the curve where the

wreck occurred, was defective. Gen.

Manager A. H. Smith admitted on

the morning, February 16, a motorman

had made this report to his superiors:

"Bad riding on the curve above

Bronx park."

This report had been passed around

from one official to another until 4:30 in the afternoon, when an under sec

tion foreman reported that there was

no trouble. '

IN FEAR OF ARREST

Millionaire Chanter Afraid to go to New York Without Protection of the Court.

Washington. March 4. The supreme court of the United States today denied the application of millionaire John A. Chanler of Virginia for & writ of prohibition to allow him to go to New York to appear in a lawsuit. Chanler fcors to g to New York without the protection of the court, lest he be arrested as an escaped inmate of Dloomingdale asylum for the Insane.

The case appealed by the Indianap

olis, Columbus & Eastern ' Traction company, from the city court to the circut court, for the purpose of determining the legality of the city ordi

nance prohibiting the running of interurban freight cars over the streetst of the city, is set for hearting next Mon

day, but it is almost an assured fact

that the case will not be called.

It is certain that the traction diffi

culties will be straightened out this week, so it is probable that the attor

neys for the traction company will

ask that the case be taken out of the

county on a change of venue. This

will necessitate considerable delay in

the hearing of the case, and when an

agreement is reached between the city and the traction company, a mo

tion to dismiss will be entered in the

court to which the case has been ven-

ued.

. Merrill Calls on Jobbers. President Merrill of he board of

works, called .upon loc. jobbers and manufacturers last Saturday and assured them that it was only a question of a short time before the I. C. & E. would sign a treaty of peace with the

city, and freight cars would once more be run into the city on the traction lines. President McGowan, of the I., C. & E., told a local business man last week that he had thoroughly investigated the local situation and that he felt "humiliated and disgusted" with the manner in which the officials ofthe company had acted toward the city. It is stated that the company plans to run its freight cars from the car barns north on West Fifth street to Richmond avenue and east on Richmond avenue, North D sireet, Ft. Wayne avenue and North E street to; Twentieth street, then south on Twentieth street to Main street. The

company has an option on the old Strattan Carriage company property on Ft. Wayne avenue, and it is very probable that the new freight station will be located there.

the Commercial club last night, John F. McCarthy was elected president

for the coming year. The other officers chosen were, Ray K. Shiveley, first vice-president, John F. Nicholson, second vice-president and How

ment of a secretary, one of the most WILL DAVIS . ON TRIAL

board was referred to a committee. Much time was given over to the discussion of a proper secretary for the club. It was the sentiment of the directors that a secretary should be chosen to succeed William Scott, who should devote all his time to the club's interest as Mr. Scott had done. It is the inteneion that the new secretary shall be thoroughly competent and progressive. There were six ap

plicants considered by the directors

last night. Their names have already

been published.

Supt. Nettleton Neff told the board

that he was making progress on the

report he is preparing concerning

Richmond's industries and financial

institutions. This report will be

very "broad in its scope. It is' very

probable that the report when com

pleted will be published and used for advertising purposes. Often com

defense in the trial of Will J. Davis of the Iroquois theatre, charged with voluntary manslaughter. The jurors are Frederick Gibbs, merchant of Indianola, 22 years old, married; T. E. Jones, Catling miner; O. Douglas Graves, farmer. In the morning, session eleven talesmen were excused from jury service. W. C. Stephens, 48 years old a truck farmer living in Blount township was being examined when the noon recess was taken. It Is probable that he will be accepted by the defense. The only points exposed by the attorneys was to learn if any of the talesmen were prejudiced against theatres or playhouses or belonged to secret societies; which were averse to such amusements.

New York, March 4. With another

expert on all kinds of insanity on the stand, the Thaw trial promises to drag

through several more uninteresting

days, such as those during which Dr.

Evans was put through a series of

question over and over again by Dis

trict Attorney erome last week.

The details of the trial have become

decidedls' tame and interest in its progress has reached a low ebb. This

afternoon there was a renewal of in

terest when it was rumored that Mrs.

Thaw, mother of the man on trial for

his life, would be the next witness

called.

Instead of having their morbid curi

asity satisfied, Jerome disappointed the spectators by calling to the stand

Dr. Charles G. Wagner, of Binghamp

ton, N. Y., another alienist, and his

cross-examination commenced.

Dr. Wagner, without opposition

from Thaw's attorneys, stated that he

believed Thaw was suffering from symptoms allied to two forms of insanity one. tending to melancholia

and the other dementia.

It is reported tonight that Mrs. Eve

lyn Nesbit Thaw has suffered another

nervous collapse, and it is doubtful if

the woman who withstood the fire of

Jerome's cross-examination, will be

able to appear in court for several

days.

In the course of his cross-examina

tion of Dr. Evans, this morning. Dis

trict Attorney Jerome asked:

"Were Thaw's mental processes

such that he knew he was attacking

Stanford White on the roof garden?

'He had an insane knowledge

ves. remied Dr. Evans.

Mr. Jerome concluded his cross-ex

amination of Dr. Evans at 12 o'clock. The -witness was excused temporarily

from re-direct examination, and Dr.

Charjes G. Wagner, another alienist,

was-pallor , t3T: -:vw.?v .;

During his cross-examination, Dr.

Wagner expressed the opinion "that

this man (Thaw) has symptoms allied to a depressive form of insanity and

others allied to dementia praccox."

Dr. Wagner used the present tense in replying to a question by the district attorney as to the form of Thaw's

insanity, saying he believed the de

iendant is suffering from symp

toms allied to two forms of insanity-

one tending to melancholia, and the other to dementia. Thaw's attorneys

made no move to correct the witness.

THE CASE WAS NOT HEARD Elmer Brown Did Not Insult Woman Acquaintance of Elmer Bymaster as Stated.

The Palladium was misinformed as to the cause of the trouble between Elmer Bymaster and Elmer Brown at the ' corner of Eighth and Main streets Saturday night. The statement that young Brown had insulted a woman acquaintence of Bymaster was Incorrect It appears that Bymaster was passing the corner in

question when one of a group of toys,

who was standing there made a re

lice and street commissioners have the case under consideration and may make arrests as it is said that the identity of the. slayer is known.

Mr. Deuker stated that nearly all

the companies concerned were now

placing poles In various alleys of the

city and that the poles placed in the

small alleys nearly obstructed them.

He said that these companies had

franchise rights to place these poles

in all alleys, but he thought if they were approached in the 'proper man

ner, they would consent not to place

them in the narrow alleys.

Study Would Pass Ordinance.

City Attorney Study, with his usual

promptness to grasp an opportunity to

place the chip on the shoulder, stated

that the council could pass an ordi

nance forbidding the companies plac

ing of poles In narrow alleys, as they

had no right to place them in such

thoroughfares. He said that not

withstanding their franchises, they

had no authority to obstruct a thor

oughfare, remarking that the big

wood poles in 10 feet wide alleys virtually amounted to an obstruction.

Mr. Study thought that in such alleys small Iron poles could be erected. By a unanimous vote, the resolution was

referred to the board. Tells of Visit to McGowan. Mr. Study told council of his Inter

view with President Hugh McGowan LOOKS GOOD TO

in Indianapolis last week. He said

that Mr. McGowan stated that he was

more than anxious that the local trac

tion situation be cleared up, and that he would visit Richmond after the legislature adjourned. Mr. Study stat

ed that he was favorably impressed

with Mr. McGowan, who appeared to be a fair minded man and one who could take a broad view of the aggra

vated traction situation in this city. Mr. Study predicted that the traction war in Richmond would soon be a
