EFFORTS ARE MADE TO INTIMIDATETHE FRIENOSJ WATSON Petitions Circulated Which Ask Republican Voters Not To Vote for Sixth District Man If Nominated.

CAPT. JACK GOWDY IS ANGRY AT THE SCHEME. Says That Never in His Political Career Has He Seen a More Cowardly Movement To Defeat Aspirant. Indianapolis. Ind.. Feb. lo. With the evident purpose of intimidating the friends of Congres.sin.in James K. WatKon and to "hold a club over the republican state convention on April 1st and 2nd, petitions are being sent to various parts of the Ktate on which republicans are asked to pledge themselves not to vote for Mr. Watson if he is nominated for governor. The plan ia tnc most vicious that has yet been attempted to keep Mr. Watson from receiving the nomination for governor at the hands of his party. The petitions are being sent out from Terre Haute and Indianapolis. They bear the land of the Terre Haute Typographical union and are as follows: "Whereas. Jaincsi K. Watson, through public acts, has been manifestly unfair to the interests of the Avorkingman, therefore be it Resolved. That we, the undersigned, having in the past supported the republican ticket, do hereby enter our protest against the said James K. Wateon being nominated for the office of governor of our state, and it is further agreed that in the event of his nomination we uhall refuse him our support and use our influence to defeat him at the polls." Captain John K. dowdy. who is managing Mr. Watson's campaign, received a letter today from one of his friends in Clinton, saying that these petitions have been sent to that place for circulation. Regarding this movement on the part of the men who are attempting to incite the laboring classes to oppose Mr. Watson. Captain Gowdy said: "In all my experience in politics from the time I was precinct committeeman, county chairman and Etate chairman, and down to the present, I have never known of a more cowardly movement against any aspirant for offieo within the republican party. It is very apparent that the Bole object of this movement is to intimidate Mr. Watson's friends and to bluff the republican convention on April 1st and 2nd. It is very apparent that those who expect to benefit by this scheme believe that they can drive the republicans away from Mr. Watson and prevent the convention from giving him the nomination for governor. "As Mr. Watson's friend for many years and one who knows his personal qualities and his unswerving devotion to the republican party and his fidelity to the interests of the people in every public -position he has held, I v.ant to protest against such tactics. However, I would register my solemn protoft against them if they were being employed against any other candidate for the nomination for governor in the present contest. It would be unfair to anyone who is a candidate within the republican party and likewise unfair to the party itself to attempt to pledge republicans against any of their associates before the convention. "Such tactics are not only unfair to the individual who is attacked, but they are unfair to the party and prejudicial to other candidates. I do not believe, however, that republicans who have the welfare of the party at Nervous Break-Down Nerve energy is the force that controls the organs of respiration, circulation, digestion and elimination. "When you feel weak, nervous, irritable, sick, it is often because vou lack uerve energy, and the process of rebuilding and sustaining life is interfered with.

win ue inisitu iv rtiicii a. vicivjuu j sition. If these petitions are present-J ed at the convention or in the mean- j time with names attached, no one will be able to say whether or not the man who would sign are republican. L'uder these circumstances it is not at all improbable that the men who are bohind this movement might attempt to intimidate the republicans of he state by presenting petitions signed by thousands of democrat:;, socialists and others who have never had the interest of the republican party at heart. "I am able to state, as a fact, that the leaders of this so-called labor movement against Mr. Watson art- in nearly every instance, democratic politicians, whose motives are at least food for careful consideration on the part of every republican voter of Indiana. None of them have explained up to this time why they have made this attack upon my friend. The unfairness of their attitude was shown very clearly when a few nights ago. at a meeting of their so-called political committee in Indianapolis, they refused to listen to a presentation of Mr. Watson's labor record. At that time the only committee that has been fair enough to investigate the records for themselves offered its support. One of these men who had made an investigation, attempted to have the matter of Mr. Watson s record opened up for fair consideration by the members of the committee, but he was voted dowi: by the democratic members, led b;. Mr. Edgar A. Perkins, president of th. state federation of labor, who lm; been prominent in this affair. "I merely refer now to this incident to show the unfairness of the move ment against. Mr. Watson and to call the attention of the republicans of th state to this vicious proposition of at tempting to pledge them to vot. against a member of their own part before he has had an opportunity t( state his own position and at a tim v hen the democratic labor leaders ar refusing to permit these so-called pc. litical committees to even consider it.'

Ran Phlllpr Meant to Rnarland. On the Oth of June, 1387, Irake, coin Ing back from "siuffuing the king of Spain's beard in Cadi.," fell in with a huge vessel, which he captured. She proved to b the' San Philipe, an East India tuan owned by the kin;; of Spain himself and then the largest merchant man afloat. Her cargo, valued at more than a mil Hon sterling of modern money, was in Itself the most valuable ever captured but there was something else even more valuable than the cargo. This consisted of the ship's papers and accounts, which disclosed to the merchant adventurers of England all the methods and mysteries and the boundless possibilities of the East India trade. Indeed, it would hardly be stretching the facts to say that the morning which saw the capture of the San Philipe saw also the dawn of our Indian empire. The immediate result was the formation of the East India company, which was not only the greatest commercial corporation the world had ever seen, but also the only one that ever commanded its own armies and fleets and wielded powers little less than imperial. London Spectator. The Early Ailronomrn, The early astronomers were all astrologers and claimed to be able to predict the future careers of various individuals by "casting horoscopes" showing the position of the planets at the time of their birth. The position and movements of the various celestial bodies were not only supposed to control the destinies of men. but were also thought to bring weal or woe. tempest or sunshine, upon the earth itself. A man born when the sun was in the constellation of Scorpio was believed to be naturally bent toward excessive indulgence of the animal passions. One born when the sun was in Pisces was predestined to grovel or be a servant, while one whose earthly career was opened when the great luminary was in Aries would be a great scholar and a man known to the world despite all opposing influences. Trinidad's Asphalt Lake. The famous asphalt lake of Trinidad looks like a great black swamp surrounded with a fringe of cocoanut palms. A little railway runs across it. and men stand in It working, com on asphalt firm enough to support them, some on asphalt In which they keep sinking down an Inch or two a minute, some on asphalt so soft it is like quicksand. The stuff looks like a cross between black mud aud pitch. The lake is 110 acres In size, and its depth is tremendous. The thick asphalt, mixed with water, moves a little, and now and then an old tree comes slowly up from the depths. The men work with pickaxes, digging out the asphalt in lumps the size of pumpkins.

Before the beginning of the historical period considerable skill had been acquired in that line.

WOMEN

FOUR BULLETS PLOWED THROUGHWFES BODY Kentucky Man Committed Awful Deed.

Lexington, Ky., Feb. 10. A tragedy (most harrowing in its details was en- , . . , , x .. acted in a cabin home on the Fayette cou,lty bank of the Kentucky river, near Valley View when shortly before 7 o'clock yesterday morning Elvin killed himself. Newby left the boom about 6:30 in the morning, and climbed the hill to his home. Leonard Richardson and George Howard, who had taken up the work in the river where he left off, saw Newby enter the house. Later they were startled by a shot fired in the house. An instant later they saw the front door open, and Mrs. Newby, clad only in her night gown and shoes, ran out, her screams piercing their ears. Behind her Newby rushed with a revolver in his hand. The woman reached the yard, and was attempting to escape down the hill. The man leveled the revolver at her back, and fired twice in rapid succession. The woman fell prostrate upon her face. Newby rushed into the yard, and halting directly over her, fired two more shots. Newby stood for a moment looking at his victim. Carried Her Back. Then, without laying down the smoking revolver, he picked the woman up and laid her on the porch. Standing in the door he broke the revolver, caet out from the cylinder the fifie empty cartridge hulls and reloaded the weapon. For a moment he stood looking at the form of the woman. He entered the house and closed the door. Examination disclosed Mrs. Newby had been shot through and through the body four times, the bullets making eight openings in the flesh. It is surmised that she was dead at the first shot. lu the middle room Newby was found prostrate on the floor, the revolver lying at his right hand, and a wound through his, body and heart, ranging upward from just below the ribs on the right side. No one knows what occurred to provoke the tragedy, but the presumption of the people of the neighborhood is that Newby, finding his wife asleep and no breakfast ready for him, worked Limselt" into a fiendish rage.

LESSONS IN ART OF MURDER TAUGHT Black Hand Society School Raided. Pittsburg, Pa., Feb. 1). Acting on evidence gathered by Italian detect ives from Baltimore, the Pittsburg police last night raided a school conducted by the Black Hand at 33 Tunnel street. Eight men were captured. The tutor, said to be Marie, wife of Antonio Folino, was left under guard, she being too ill to be locked up. The Folinos occupied three rooms on the third floor of :w Tunnel street. Tne detectives engaged boarding with them, and after being there several days, were asked to join the Black Hand. When they demurred because of danger. It is said the woman urged them on. She told them that if they joined their days of labor would be ended, so long as they obeyed orders. They were then put through the en lessons by the woman in the use of daggers and other weapons used by the society. The methods taught were the same as those taught by the other school raided. Last night it was decided to raid the place. The police had to break in the doors, but once inside there was no further resistance. In the place the police found two shot guns, four revolvers, a dozen stilettos. "' razors, almost a peck of loaded cartridges and a quantity of dynamite. CLIMBING ELEPHANTS. Mow They Make Their Wy V ad Down Steep CliVa. Elephants are able to make their way up and down mountains and through a country of steep cliffs, where mules would not dare to venture and even where men find passage difficult. Their tracks have been found upon the rery summit of mountains over 7,000 feet high. In these Journeys an elephant is often compelled to descend hills and mountain sides which are almost precipitous. This is the way ia which it Is done: The elephant's first maneuver is to kneel down close to the declivity. One fore leg is then cautiously passed over the edge and a short way down the slope, and if he finds there is no good spot for a firm foothold he speedily forms one by stamping into the soil if it is moist or kicking out a footing if it is dry. When he is sure of a good foothold, the other fore leg is brought down in the same way. Then he performs the same work over again with his feet, bringing both fore le a little i:i advance of the rirst foothold. Thii Sht:": gjd j places all ready luade 1'or the bind feel. , Now. bracing himself up by hi-? hug-.-, J strong lore !!. he draws bis hind les. j first one and thou ti;e other,, caiefully over thf edK- wLc-re they o-.eupy the iirst places made by the fore f'-i.

OP

MAY STORM CAPITOL Have Made Appeal to President and Congress. .St. Ixiuis. Mo.. Feb. 1. The national convention of the unemployed terminated last night with the adoption of resolutions calling upon the president and congress to take notice of the condition of the genus "hobo" in this country and to do something for their emelloration. The resolutions demanded that the National government insure citizens of both sexes against enforced idleness and that this shall be done "in the same way as the soldiers are supported in periods of inactivity or upon veing invalidated, that the soldiers of industry be treated at least as well as the soldiers of war." Shpuld their mission prove abortive then another call will be issued, "an army" mobolized and on to Washington they will trek to take the capitol bv storm. "Pardon me," said Ascum. "but It must Ik? tough to le married to a strong minded woman." "Oh," replied Henpeck, "it has its advantages. When my wife thinks she hears burglars downstairs, she won't trust me to go down and investigate." Philadelphia Press. Home Tel. 2062
