PROMPT CLOSING UP OF THE APPROPRIATION BILL LEFT PRAC
TICALLY NOTHING FOR LEGISLATORS TO DO.
Indianapolis, Ind., March 11. The Jractleal end of the Sixty-fifth general assembly came unusually early at 5 o'clock this afternoon, when the house adjourned sine die, leaving only the senate In session, attending to a few odds and ends of its unfinished legislation. The adjournment put an end to all doubt as to the fate of the Farber In- . Buranco bill and the metropolitan police bill, which continue dead from the veto of Governor Ilanly. No attempt was made daring the afternoon to revive either one of these
bills. The attempt at a coalition between democrats and republicans to restore
them both to life was an utter failure
There was a rumor that the demo
crats would hold up the appropriation
bill in another attempt to do some
thing toward reviving the metropoli
tan police bill, but when the amended bill came from the senate the amendments . were concurred In without a protest. Messrs. Kelley and Greiger were on their feet at the same time to make the motion to adjourn. The Speaker recognized Kelley and the motion pre
vailed. Generally Ends at Midnight. It is usual for the session to continue until midnight of the final day, but after the adjournment of the house, the senate also came to final adjournment about 5 o'clock. At a conference of republicans of the house this afternoon many voices were - raised against any proposition
to make a deal with the democrats to revive and pass the bill to repeal the metropolitan police law In consideration of democratic votes to override the governor's veto of the so-called Farber Insurance bill. It was then proposed to make the meeting a caucus instead of a conference. Richard Elliott, caucus chairman, refused to enter a caucus on the subject, as did also Mr. Babcock, and at least eight others. Elliott Left Caucus.
After Elliott had left the caucus efforts were made to have Edwards and Branch preside, but both refused. Greiger finally consented, but found nothing could be done and the meeting broke up. The effect was to leave both the bill to repeal the metropolitan law and the Farber Insurance bill as they were kiiioH by the govern 'm-k
veto. No attempt was made during the"atl: rrnoon to call back to life either the Farber insurance bill or the metropolitan police bill, and the house, at 5 o'clock adjourned sine die, thus finally
settling the fate of both measures and ending the sixty-fifth session of he legislature as far as that branch was concerned. The senate continued
longer, rounding up odds and ends. After voting to sustain the gover
nor's veto of the Farber insurance bill
by a vote of 70 to 24, the house of representatives this morning failed to
clinch its action, and by a Yote of 30 to 65 failed to kill a motion to reconsider the vote. The morning session
ended with the Farber bill still possi
ble of passage over the veto of the governor, as the result of clever play
ing of politics by the Democrats.
The vote on passing the Dill was as
follows: AYES.

Washington, March 11. Both the state department and the Nicaraguan minister here today deny that there
was a personal encounter between Minister Merry and President Zelaya. The minister Senor Corea today received the following dispatch from the Nicaraguan counsel at New Orleans: "Samuel Weil resident - here says that he accompanied Minister Merry in his railroad trip from Managus to
Corinto, on the presidential car, which had been offered by President Zelaya. Until he sailed Mr. Merry was the ob
ject of full attention from Nicaraguan.
The report regarding the mistreatment of the American minister is cer
tain caluminous calculated to put
Nicaragua in an unfavorable light." The Mr. Weil who Is thus quoted In
the foregoing dispatch is the same one
who has the claim against the Nicaraguan government for $50,000 which minister Merry is said to have been pushing for settlement at the time he is alleged to have had Its trouble with President Zelaya, Minister Corea was not only emphatic in his own denial of the incident, but said that he had
been authorized by the state department to say there was absolutely no truth in the published accounts.

All is in readiness for the opening of the annual horse sale of John S. Lackey at Cambridge City this morning at ten o'clock. All the hotel ac

Three hundred and thirty three horses have been consigned to the sale, not quite so many as in some former years, but of a much higher quality. It is expected that the average sale price and the aggregate of sales this year will exceed any ear in the history of the Lackey barns. Eighty horses will be placed on the block
Washington, March 11. It is nowclear that E. H. Harriman has been
paving the way for a suggestion to the president that the railroads of the country and the administration co-operate in an effort to obtain legislation at the next session of congress, which will make lawful agreements among railroads for a distribution of traffic. It is the expectation here that the railroad magnates who will come back here Thursday for a talk with the chief executive will be prepared to meet the president more than half way. He does not want to fight any longer, nad the other so-called railroad kings of the country are encour
aging him in his attempt to hold out the olive branch. Persons who have talked with the president the last few days believe there are some prospects of an armistice being agreed to, if not a protocol.
under which the administration and the railroads will work together for
certain legislation next winter. . Harriman Admits it.
The president makes it clear that
he does not desire to fight the rail
roads. He simply wants them to understand that they must be subject
to a certain amount of government supervision, and must respect the laws that are on the federal books. Harriman now acknowledges that government supervision has come to stay, and his friends say he is coming to Washington to tell the president that if congress will empower the railroads to make long-term traffic arrangements the roads and the government can and will work in harmony from this time on. Harriman in his feeler put out in ad
vance of his coming to talk it over with the president, says: "The agreements that I have In mind would apply to the distribution of traffic so
that it could be handled economically. The president started the movement for it on the part of the government in his message last December, when he declared that railroads should be allowed to make . agreements under certain conditions.. I believe that he recognizes the necessity for something of this kind if the railroads are going to practice anything like econ
omies that the present situation de mands."
The notable thing in the situation Is
that the railroads, after having spent

Senator Roscoe E. Kirkman returned home at nine o'clock. last night
from Indianapolis. The last days of
the legislature were very trying ones
for Senator Kirkman. His little son,
but eleven weeks old has been very sick and on Saturday and Sunday he
was near to death. Mr. Kirkman felt
that he should have returned home
and yet he did not want to desert his post in the senate halls when it appeared that there might be scenes which would demand the presence of every legislator. It was with much satisfaction that Senator Kirkman saw the session come to an unusually early close yesterday evening and by racing down
Illinois street he was able to catch the train leaving Indianapolis at seven o'clock for Richmond.
Chicago, March 11. A "prophet
ess" has arisen in Zion City following
the death of John Alexander Dowie
Mrs. C. L. Colman, a wealthy mem
ber of the community, predicts a ter
rible calamity in Zion if its people do not mend their ways and renounce the worldliness to which Mrs. Colman de
clares they are returning. Her forebodings are based on a vision which
she says she was sent by an angel of
the Lord. She has a following among
Zion City people which grew substan tially today as the hours passed.
Attempts by Captain A. L. Walker,
head of the Zion City police force, to prevent her from shouting her warn
ings in the tabernacle and the streets was followed by a fierce controversy
between those who believe the au
thenticity of her vision and such as
are skeptical supporters of Captain
Walker.

Not since the movement for the collection of a fund of $100,000 to be devoted to the construction of a Y. M.

have the people of this city had a bet
ter opportunity to gain an insight into the workings and real benefits to be derived from an
institution of that character than was furnished last night at the First
M. E. church. The first session of
the Richmond Sunday School insti
tute practically resolved itself into a gathering for the promotion of the work of the men who are using their best efforts toward bringing about the success of this great undertaking.
Upon a great canvass stretched across the southeastern section of the church stereopticon views told plainer than words, just what these organizations all over the land were doing for the ambitious youth in his journey along life's highway. Opened by Rev. Ware. The pretty edifice was packed to the very doors when the meeting was opened with devotional services by the Rev. Alfred T. Ware. After a solo, "The Lord is My Light," by Mrs.
Elmer Gordon, Secretary Brown of the
local Y. M. C. A., in a few well chosen words, introduced Secretary E. E. Stacy, of the state association. Rev. Halpenny Spoke. The Rev. E. W. Halpenny, general secretary of the State Sunday School association, said that there was a i r,.i i Y. r i 1. n:uiA
r Tfu V ,f T , , A very large audience, in which woschool and the Y. M. C. A. It used to be said that the Bible class was men Probably predominated listened
attentively to the lecture of Bicknell Young at the K. of P. ball' last night. Mr. Young talked on - the subject of Christian Science. The speaker said among other things that thought controlled every action of the human being. Everything that was done in this world was accomplished through the medium of thought. Many people could not comprehend Christian Science, and yet it was thoroughly logical and in no wise absurd. People could not .understand evil and sin because their thought was not of God.
In and of Him there was no sin disease
or death. Evil never explained itself
This explanation only came through
right Ideas of the Almighty. . The stu dy of disease did not give one an un
derstanding of disease. Holiness ex
plained sin, and the way out of it was a knowledge of holiness, health and
life. This was the logical way.
To illustrate his point the speaker
said that no banker who placed his
son in his bank would set him to work counting counterfeit money. In that
bank nothing but genuine money
would pass through his hads, but when the time came that a counterfeit
made its appearance he would detect it instantly. Christian Science taught
the science of life. Death and sin had no part in it. It taught one to walk in the footsteps of Jesus. He
had said "I am the way" He knew
that His works were divinely natura
and scientific but the people of that day called them miracles because of their ignorance. In a like manner
would the untutored savage of the forest look upon certain works of the
people of the present age.
organized for the purpose of getting people into the church, but it had
even a greater object than this. It
was endeavoring to build up in Christ In some respects the Bible class was more today than the church itself. The Y. M. C. A. had within its folds
men who had graduated from the Sunday school. There should exist between this organization, the church; and the various bodies connected therewith, a feeling of brotherly love, for they all had the spiritual welfare of mankind at heart. It was righ that they should work hand in hand for one great end. Secretary Stacy explained ... briefly, that the object of the meeting was to show by the stereopticon in a graphic way the Y. M. C. A. in active operation. As he ceased speaking there appeared upon the canvas the words of that beautiful hymn: "My Country 'Tis of Thee," which was sung by the
congregation, standing. Following this, came a picture of St. Paul's cathedral, London, and Secretay Stacy
said that in the shadow of this magnificent edifice stood a great mercantile house, in which George Williams, who in 1840, organized the Y. M. C. A., once worked as a clerk, finally becoming a member of the firm. Although he eventually became a merchant prince, his interest in the association never waned up to the time of his death. Views were then given of the
battleship Indiana, which has a very
strong association. Words of Roosevelt.

at the council chamber with n delegation of local butchers for the purpose of obtaining tho sentiment of tho butchers in regard to a city ordinandi regulating the InsiectIon of meat at tho local butchering establishments.
exclusive of tho Richmond Abattoir company.
The principal sentiment obtained
by the city officials was the Intenso feeling the local butchers havo against
the Abattoir company. The commit
tee also learned that the butchers aro
opposed to any plan whereby their
stock would bo slaughtered on a mu
nicipal floor under government Inspection. Butchers who attended tlm meeting were Henry Holzapfel, Frank : Haler, Anthony Stolle, Ed Temme, Roy Harris, Jack McKone, Joe Bahl-
man, Oliver Harris Jack Maher, Peter
Mitchell, Charles Guyer, Walter Pilleo
and John Bennett. Each and everyone of them expressed themselves as onnosed to the nlan of Kl.mo-h
- - " - Of I a municipal floor.
Own Their Own Establishments. Mr. Mitchell stated that the oblec
tlons the butchers had to this propos
ed plan was the fact that all of them owned their own establishments and
that all their money was Invested in
them. He stated that by being com
pelled to butcher on a city floor thesa
establishments would depreciate In
value.
Dr. Bond acted as spokesman for tho
committee and he stated It was absolutely necessary for the nrotcHon f
the public against Impure moat for the city to take some action in providing for the proper Inspection of meat slaughtered here. Dr. Bond stated that he had thoroughly discussed tho local situation with Dr. Wagoner, thu government Inspector at the Abattoir company, and that Dr. Wagoner had stated that he .thought the government would provide for the Inspection of meat butchered here if the city would pass an ordinance conforming with the 'meat inspection law. Dr.
Bond said that Dr. Wagoner stated that to secure this government inspection, which would be furnished without cost to the city or the butchers, it would be necessary to provide a butchering floor to conform with government regulations, as none of the local butchering establishment had such a floor. Dr. Bond asked if tho butchers thought a charge of 15 cents for each beef slaughtered would be too big a charge. Opposed to Most Everything. Several butchers stated that they would regard such a charge as too high, for the reason that they would have to drive their cattle to tho slaughtering" place and then cart tho meat back to their cooling rooms. Dr. Bond was asked if it was proposed to locate this slaughtering floor at the Abattoir company. They stated that if such was the intention each
and every butcher would most vigor
ously protest. The feeling the butchers have against this company seems to arise from the fact that the butchers believe the Abattoir people are re
sponsible for the agitation that has arisen for the thorough inspection of all meat slaughtered in this city. Dr. Bond stated that he had not been In
fluenced by the Abattoir people and that It was not his plan to have the municipal slaughtering floor at the ab
attoir. He suggested that, the floor
be located near the butchelng cstab-,
lishments df Henry Holzapfel, Antho-'
ny fetolle and Peter Mitchel, where nearly all the slaughtering In the city
is done. Objections were made to this plan on the ground that a floor large enough to slaughter all the stock daily butchered here could not be
built. It was then suggested that three floors be built, all near together and close to the abattoir, so that Dr.
Wagoner and an assistant could inspect all stock slaughtered In the city.
Opposition to this plan arose on the grounds that cooling rooms would not be provided, and that all butchers aft
er the kill would have to cart their meat back to their establishments.
Bond Objects to Offal. Dr. Bond stated that the city in
tended to put a stop to dumping in tho
river and that the establishment of a municipal slaughtering floor would
simplify the refuse question, as all-the offal could be cremated at a place near the slaughtering floor. Butchers stat
ed that all the offal Is now hauled from
their establishments daily by Tom Mertes and they deplored this fact because he got the refuse for nothing. They stated that if they were allowed to place thi3 offal in tanks, which a city ordinance provides against, their annual profits would b Increased from $200 to $300 each year, as they could then sell the refuse.
