THE ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE ARRAIGNED

Albert Lieber Before Brewers Tells of Organization's Actions. THE GENERAL SITUATION. GOVERNOR HANLY IS GIVEN A 8C0RING FOR HIS ATTITUDE TOWARD THE LIQUOR QUESTION IN THIS STATE. Milwaukee, Wis., June lO. The report of the vigilance committee of the United States Brewers association goes into detail on the conditions in Indiana In a statement by Albert Lieber of Indianapolis. The committee report read' to the conventioa says: "The Anti-Saloon League has' availed itself of the remonstrance laws during the year for the purpose of excluding saloons from city wards and county townships. A largo number have thus been put out of business. "In addition .to the present liquor laws of the state, a law for local option.' elections in counties is now being vigorously agitated by the Anti-Saloon league. The suit brought by the attorney general against twenty breweries for alleged ownership of saloons is fctill pending." Mr. Lieber's review follows: "The situation in Indiana is slowly improving. People are beginning to realize that the Anti-Saloon League is railing under false colors and that it strives for nothing less than complete prohibition. For the present it demands county option, which, of course, means county prohibition wherever it can get a majority for it. Whenever it finds out that county prohibition is not more enforcible than city or township prohibition it will clamor for state prohibition. "This is now clearly seen by the people and it has called forth a movement among the business men of the state and the Indiana Manufacturers' and Merchants' club has been organized by a number of prominent and influential manufacturers to check the movement. In spite of its short existence the club has already a considerable membership and it will undoubtedly exercise a great moral influence upon public sentiment. Then there are the alliances of the German societies in several cities and the state alliance. They are now thoroughly aroused and the one at Indianapolis has combined with the Hibernians for a mass meeting. "One of the peculiar features of the campaign in our state is the activity of the governor in behalf of prohibition. He lectures before Methodist organizations all over the state, advocating prohibition and other temperance legislation in behalf of the church and religion. I judge, however, from communications to newspapers and from other sisns that the governor's activity, and more so the meddling of the church in politics, as well as the mixing up of politics and religion, become to many people more distasteful every' day. "Our principal hope lies in educating the public on the fallacy of prohibitive legislation in theory and practice, and its spreading the truth as to its effect among the people " President Liebmann's Address. In his address, President Julius Liebmann said: In spite of the facr that our beer is universally pure, and that the. leading physiologists are thoroughly agreed as 1o its value, the brewer finds himself held up to the scorn, anil in many states his business is in danger of confiscation. What is the causa of this clamor? It is. we believe, the fact that very few of the men and women who preach prohibition have any first hand knowledge of the saloons. They do not enter them, even for purposes of observation, and they certainly do not know that by far th? large majority of "saloons are decent and respectable, and do not tolerate drunkenness or disorder. It is of the utmost importance that 1he saloon keeper should respect the laws, but the constant injustice meted out to him under the guise of laws is a force which tends to undermine this reBpccL Problem of Saloon. The problem of the saloon is one of regulation, by statutory authority; of administration by the trade. From either standpoint it is a complex problem which can not be settled in the offhand fashion that seems so easy to superficial observers. The point which I want to emphasize in considering this question of saloon administration is that saloon reforms can not be brought about by the brewers individually. But the brewers as an organization, can accomplish a great deal, though their organized power has not yet been fully tested.. Regulation Complicated. The regulation of the sa'toon has been needlessly complicated by experimental legislation, party politics, police corruption and inefficiency. Fixed and arbitrary limitations imposed upon communities by the state without regard to local conditions have only increased the difficulty. To lieep the saloon out of politics, it must first be taken out of politics: and the best way to keep it in politics is to provide by local option laws for the constant agitation of the license question, the element of harassing uncertainty which this involves. In recent jears the saloon has been growing to bo less and less a political factor. Today it threatens to become the biggest political issue in our history. With a situation of this character confronting us. and with our property interests involved, with the millions cind millions of dollars invested under the sanction of the law, can any one

expect to remain idle while this property is being confiscated'' It is our duty to hasten universal enlightenment and to .spread the conviction that our industry stands for temperance in the best sense of the word, r.nd will neither countenance r.or tolerate anything that is not thoroughly in accord with the moral and physical welfare of the people."

Dissolve sufficient pure laundry soap into a soft soap, and scrub the carpet or rug briskly with the white suds, and wipe up afterwards with a clean damn cloth.

"Young Steve" Brodie died in Heilevue Hospital, where he was taken after being picked up in a comatose condition in a Bowery gutter. Death was due to pJcoholism. He was a son of "Steve" Brodie, for many years a prominent, character on the East Side, who first, came into prominence because of a claim he had jumped from the Brooklyn bridge. He declared himself the "champion bridge jumper of the world," and opened a saloon on the Bowery. loiter he went on the stage and played throughout the country in a melodrama, which puriKjrted to depict scenes in Brodie's career and of life on the Bowery. He t'ceumulated a fortune before his death three yer.rs ago. Young Brodie inherited a large sum of money from his father, but. did not succeed in business. He spent his inheritance and finally, his fortune gene, he drifted to the Bowery, where he obtained a living by accepting small tips from Bowery sightseers, to whom ne was pointed out as a son of the "bridge jumper." Amusements Repertoire at the Gennett. But two matinees are given by the Auditorium Stock company which is filling a week's engagement at the Oennett this week. One of these was given today and the other will be given on Saturday. Popular plays have been selected for the remainder of the evening engagements and in connection with them a number of specialties will be given. Tonight's bill is "Patrice," a society drama. PAYING BY CHECK. References Required to Open a Bank Account In England. "I like the American custom of carrying money loose in the pocket," said I. II. Lieban, a retired banker of London. "In England gentlemen and business men carry very little money with them. Nearly everything is paid for by check, except, of course, money enough to pay the small incidental expenses of a day. "If a man goes into a store to buy a bat, he does not pay money for it, but gives a check. If he is dining at a public place, he very likely pays for his meal with a check. The system of credit in England is different from that in this country, and the mere fact that a man has an account in a bank serves to give him standing. "One cannot open an account with a bank in England merely by carrying money to the bank and depositing it He must have two first class references before a bank will accept his account, and when reference is given it means that the person giving it would indorse or stand for the person to whom It is given. "A reference in England means more than a mere phrase. Checks on banks in England cannot be obtained for the mere asking, and a man must have an account in order to get checks from I any bank. They eannot be picked up ) on bank counters or in public places. I "Private accounts in English banks are not accepted unless they are paid for, the general charge being $30 a year. There are one or two banks in England which discriminate so carefully in the accounts they accept that when a person is fortunate enough to be permitted to open an account with them he can get credit in any city in England or the continent of Europe." Washington Post. Disease Has Freaks. No medical man needs to be told that even disease has its freaks and that recovery has occasionally been brought about by means inexplicably trivial. One of the most remarkable of these j unaccountable eccentricities of disease took place at Ilalver, in Westphalia. The case was that of a boy who, as the result of a very heavy fall backward on his head while skating, had for a year and a half been deaf and dumb One morning his brother went to awake him and. finding him sleeping heavily, tapped him lightly on the forehead. To his amazement the deaf and dumb boy awoke with a loud cry. Both speech and hearing had been restored. Kansas City Journal. Pennsylvania L. I IV 12 Chicago Excursions June 13, 14, 15 and 16.

CONCLAVEAJ WINONA Knights Templar Will Meet in Fifty-fourth Annual Session.

ELABORATE PREPARATIONS. Winona Lake, Ind., June 1". Elaborate preparations are being made for the entertainment of the grand commandery of Knights Templar of Indiana, which will hold its fifty-fourth annual conclave at Winona Lake June 10, 11 and 12. W. H. Kingery, chairman of the local reception committee has received letters asking that, quarters be provided for 1.200 Knights. As the grand commandery elects but one new officer each year this means a promotion for all the old officers and will make Charles Day of New Albany right eminent grand commander. Headquarters will be. established at the Westminster hotel, while the information bureau will be at the Winona gate. The local committee on entertainment consists of W. H. Kin- ' gery, chairman; F. E. Bowser, J. L. Chandler, F. M. Hetrick and U. W. Nelson. This committee has arranged for a reception to be given in the lodge room at Warsaw on the evening of June 11. This reception will be given by the Warsaw Commandery and the order of the Eastern Star. Following the reception a dance will be given in the armory at Warsaw for the visiting Knights. Woodard to Preside. Vestal W. Woodard of Indianapolis right eminent grand commander of the state, will preside at the first business session of the conclave Wednesday afternoon. This session will be followed by a urand parade in the city of Warsaw. This parade is given in Warsaw because of the hospitality of the Warsaw people extended to the visiting Knights at Winona Lake. On Wednesday evening will be held the opening exercises of the subordinate commanderies. To the subordinate commandery showing the greatest proficiency in the opening exercises a silver vace mounted on ebony will be given as a trophy prize. Thursday afternoon the prize drill contest will take, place on the Winona athletic field. In this prize drill the Raper commandery will not contest. This commandery could easily capture the prizes offered, but decided to give some one else e. chance. Those who know of the work in the various commanderies throughout the state think that the Franklin or Knightstown commanderies will get most of the $500 offered in prizes. On the closing morning of the conclave the Winona management will give a steamboat, excursion around the lake to the visiting Knights and their ladies. The business session closes on Friday with a public installation of the new officers. THE SINUOUS EEL It Will Bits Long After It Has Been Decapitated. Eels are peculiar even among fishes. A strange and mysterious race, the difficulty of killing them is not the least of their peculiarities. Very many of us have been annoyed by the ordinary eel that has seized our worm and then tangled up our line in its slimy coils. You may cut off the head of an eel in the manner recommended by the S. I. C. A. and leave its body full of squirms and wriggles, for the eel is a hateful and uncanny creature. I have been told that the true method is tirst to cut off the eel's tail and that after this the severance of the head brings all life and movement to an end. As to this I cannot say, for I only heard this recently and have not since had to deal with a sinuous eel. A correspondent has cited an instance of a conger left apparently dead for twenty-four hours on the beach, which

Miller, who recently made a losing race for the republican nomination for governor, had better luck yesterday, i.e was nominated by the republicans of the Thirteenth district, as their candidate for the vacancy caused by the dcatli of Congressman Abraham L. Brick and also for the full term of the Sixty-first congress. Mr. Miller's victory over his antagonist, John L. Moorman, was all the more notable because of the revolutionary tactics that brought it about. The convention organization, including all of its committees, was controlled by the Moorman forces. The convention took matters in its own hands, rejected the majority reports of the committee en credentials and the committee on rules and order of business and refused to seat the delegates that a majority of the credentials commitSTOCKHOLDERS' MEETING.

Whisky and tea and a bowl of rice with chopsticks are there, so that tbe corpse may not starve in tbe next world, tiin and tea are then sprinkled over the coffin and the bottles thrown away. The mourners stand round laughing, enjoying the fun. The coffin is lowered, candles are lit. a suit of paper clothes is burned and some paper money.

Where Do You Suppose All the Alligator Bags Go?

Is the question heard in our Leather Goods Department. Never have we had such a run on any particular style bag. The popularity of the alligator bag is in a great measure due to the attractive style and artistic shapes in which they are brought out. Then, to the wearing qualities and price at which we make it possible for most women to buy them has made the alligator bag a general favorite. Do net think that because the alligator bag in the past has been regarded an extreme luxury and too high in price for most women to buy that you can not afford one.

LIGHTNING STRIKES ATHAGERSTQWN Five Places Hit by Electric Bolts. Hagerstown, Ind., June 10. Lightning played a merry game in this vicinity Monday afternoon. It. struck in at least five places within the town limits. No serious damage was done in any instance. Three bolts were driven at the sawmill of Werking and Keagy. A large heap of sawdust was fired and blazed merrily. One bolt drove through the chimney. A hole about six inches in diameter was made in the bricks. Oliver Beeson was nearby and saw the lightning strike. The building was unoccupied at the time but if any employes had been within it is probable they would have been shocked severely. The. Light Inspection Car company's plant was struck as was also the residence of Mrs. Elizabeth Cheesman. No material damage was done at either place.
