L RISE T Organization 85,000 Strong Will Wage War on the Rapidly Growing Prohibition Sentiment in This State. 'Think prohibition workers ARE HYPOCRITICAL Albert Lieber Says That They Are and Cites Artman Case The Contest Will Be for Protection. "Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. -Within he next ten days there will be an organization formed in Indianapolis .",- KK strong, which will rise up in the strength of its numbers and combat the prohibition host which has threatened to tear asunder the brewery interests of the state, and. its promoters declare, throw many thousands of men out of employment. The organization will probably be known as the Indiana Allied Trades association, and its membership will consist of labor organizations whose members are in any way connected with the manufacture of articles used in producing condiments or any articles directly or indirectly in the manufacture and sale of liquor. Openly declaring that their purpose is to fight the prohibition movement ' and to chock its effect and onward movement the promoters aver that their interest is taken from a financial find commercial standpoint, for the welfare of the thousands of men who pre employed in the brewing business pnd to educate the people to the stand taken by both the brewers and the sa4oon keeepers. As an argument in the defense of the tnovement. the stand taken by various ministers throughout the country in regard to the effectual enforcement of prohibition in this city. Among these clergymen is Cardinal Gibbons, who is quoted in a number of interviews as saying that prohibition cau not 'be enforced with the results de tired by its promoters. Albert Lieber, president of the Indianapolis Brewing company, is fostering the movement, which will result in the organization of the Allied Trades ossociation, but it will be an entirely separate interest from any association tnade up of brewery men. For a "Temperate" Saloon. One of the features of the new organization will be the advocacy of a ' temperate" saloon, one which will establish temperance in the sale of liqtior. ."A man can be intemperate in .his ating. in bis talking, in his speech and in his drinking.'-' says Mr. Lieber. "and what we are in favor of is the establishing of temperance in the sale of liquor. Prohibition does not prohibit it encourages intemperance. I am in favor of the enforcement of any law which will provide a punishment for a saloon keeper who sells liquor to habitual drunkards, and the Brewers' association as a body will take the same fctand. We do not object to the moral t-tand taken by the prohibitionists. The worst, enemy we have is the habitual drunkard, and we deplore the fact that bo many men spend their money in saloons and let their families suffer. But on the other hand, look at the number of men who will be thrown out of em-!

SCORED VICTORY OVER ENEMIES OF LITTLE DAN CUPID

After Being Refused Here, Fred Moore, Sixteen Year Old Lover, Went to Kentucky's Gretna Green. TELEGRAPHED AHEAD FOR CLERK TO BE READY. When the Couple Arrived, They Had No Trouble in Getting License and Officiating Minister. Fred W. Moore, aged sixteen years, and Miss Anna R. Long, aged nineteen years, are now man and wife. Not discouraged by the cruel marriage laws of this state, which denied them connubial happiness until the bridegroom had reached the age of eighteen years, they decided to flee to that paradise of lovers Newport. Ky., where they knew no trouble would be experienced in uniting in the bonds of wedlock. Young Fred wired to County Clerk Betz at Newport that he and his beloved would arrive there on Washington's birthday and asked him to have a marriage license in readiness. On their arrival they lost no time in securing this necessary document, then they hurried to the Grace M. K. church where the pastor, the Rev. Fisher united them In marriage. Last week Moore and his mother appeared at the office of County Clerk Penny and applied for a marriage license. When Mr. Penny learned that the prospective bridegroom was only sixteen years old he refused to issue the license as the state law requires that the male contracting party must be eighteen years of age. Mrs. Moore stated that she approved of the marriage aud requested that the license be issued notwithstanding her son's tender years. Mr. Penny was firm in his refusal and referred the matter to Special Judge J. L. Rupe. who sustained the action of the county clerk. After Moore's petition had been turned down by the court he again visited the office of the county clerk and requested that a marriage license be given him. Clerk Penny for a second time turned him down. Young Fred, however, was bound that he would marry his sweetheart without further delay so lie went to her and proposed a trip to Newport, She promptly agreed to the plan. The young couple are now in Richmond and are being congratulated for their victory over the enemies of Dan Cupid, reckless little god of love. Young Moore is employed at the Richmond, Ind., Manufacturing company. HARRIMAN NOT TOJETIRE YET Too Many Moves to Be Made On Chessboard. New York. Feb. 21 Edward H. Harriman at CO is much too busy to think about retiring from the railroad business. A year ago yesterday he I thought that another 12 months would nnrt him ready to quit, the game, but says that there are still too many moves to be made. He doesn't propose to stop, even to consider retiring, until the complications on the industrial chessboard have been resolved sufficiently to enable him to see clearly a little distance ahead. Until then Mr. Harriman thinks he owes it to 40,000 stockholders and 150,000 employes of his system to stay on the job.

Example: WANTED To rent 6 to 8 room house in good repair, with all modern conveniences. Address P. v., care Palladium, stating location and" amount of rent. That ad. would cost only 13 cents for one insertion or you could, get 7 insertions for the price or 365 cents.

Wbile the rig was swaying from side to side like a ship in a storm, a coal wagon hauled by two sleepy looking mules issued forth onto the street from the Starr coal yard. The fast running horse had no time or inclination to side step the mule team, so with a crash he plunged into the long-eared fellows. The front part of the phaeton crumbled into kindling from its violent contact with the tongue of the coal wagon while the 4wo mules and the horso reared, lunged, snorted and squealed in their efforts to release themselves from the entanglement. Mr. Nicholson, considerably jarred and somewhat frightened, disembarked from the wrecked rig immediately after it had eome to a violent standstill.

Father Leo Heinrichs, pastor of St. Elizabeth'3 Catholic church, was shot to death yesterday morning by an assassin, who gained access to the priest ou the pretext of taking the most solemn sacrament of the church. With a countenance expressing the contrition of penitence and the humility of a humble son of the Catholic church, but with black murderin his heart, Guiseppe Guaranaccto, an Italian anarchist, who hated the priesthood, approached the altar at early mass, as a dozen others knelt at the rail beside him. Intent on the duties of his sacred office Father I?o saw in the man about to take his life only one. the penitant. to whom hs heart had always gone out in love. A woman's form was bowed on each side of the murderer and to one of these Father Leo presented the consecrated water. It was the time chosen for the deed of 'sacrilege. Father Leo stood directly iu front of the man who sought his life. The priest placed the sacrament on the man's tongue and he pretended to take it. Then, with an expression of disgvt. the man spit it out. As he did so he quickly drew a revolver from his hip pocket. "Look out. father," screamed a little altar boy. Before the priest could move, the Italian placed the revolver almost against his communion robes and directly over his heart and pulled the trigger. There was a rcuff:eI report. The Rev. Father Leo fell prone in front of fhe altar. "My God: My God!" gasped the Franciscan, and he died without uttering another word. After a denprate battle with a policeman the Italian was captured. He laughed In fiendish glee.
