SPEECHES CURTAILED
Arranged to Make Nominating And Seconding Speeches Shorter.
AN AGREEMENT IS REACHED
Chicago, June 18. An agreement was reached last night by representatives of all the candidates by which the nominating and seconding speeches for president will be materially curtailed. This agreement is that only the nominating and one seconding speech shall be made for each candidate. The speeches for Secretary Taft will be by Theodore E. Burton, of Cleveland, placing him in nomination, and George A. Knight, of California, seconding. The speakers who have relinquished the honor of seconding the nomination are Senators DolHver Of Iowa, Burkett of Nebraska, Borah of Idaho. Geo. II. Williams of Oregon and Henry Lincoln Johnson, the negro orator of Georgia. A similar curtailment occurs in the long list of seconding speeches of the other candidates. This determination was reached because the proceedings were promising to be greatly prolonged by the large number of speeches.
FAMED
ROAD CASE
CIRCUIT COURT
Judge Fox Heard Argument on Washington Township Road Squabble.
HAD A STORMY CAREER.
MRS. BELMONT MADE BENEFICIARY IN WILL Document Filed But Value o? Estate Not Known.
New York, June 18. The will of Oliver H. P. Belmont, who died recently at his country home in Hempstead, L. I., has ben filed in the surrogate's office. Mrs. Belmont is to receive all the real and personal property and she is named executrix of the estate. The value of the estate is not given.
SOME TAXPAYERS OBJECT TO ASSESSMENT AND ASSERT SUCH A COSTLY ROAD IS FAR BEYOND NEEDS. Argument in the Washington township road case was heard in circuit court this morning by Judge W. A. A. Bond was attorney for the petitioners for the road and Alonzo Feemster represented the opponents of the proposition. Mr. Bond claimed there is no legal right for a remonstrance and that the petitioners for the road complied with all legal phases and there can be no ground for a reversal of the decision of the commissioners' court, which ordered the road constructed. It is proposed to construct a new road in Washington township under the new law providing for the construction of free gravel roads less than three miles in length. Under the statute it is provided that upon petition and proper proceedings a road may be constructed in a township and the costs taxed against the entire township. The county issues bonds to cover the cost of construction. These bonds are sold at 4 per cent interest and are taxable. In the Washington township case, the petition was presented as required, advertisements were inserted and all preliminary details carried out in accord with the law. After the matter was given thorough publicity and it dawned upon some of the tax payers of the township that all property owners would be taxed to cover the cost of the road, opposition developed. The time to present a remonstrance had expired, so an appeal was taken from the commissioners' court to the circuit court and it was the ar
gument on the appeal that was presented today. The estimated cost of the road is more than $18,000. The opposition to the proposition claim there will be but few families effected and that the lands adjacent to the road for its entire length and half a mile removed could not be sold to cover its cost. One of the leading opponents declared there would be no objection to the construction of an ordinary road but to put in a free turnpike at the expense of the eiftire township to benefit only a few is too much.
SUMMER TO BRING ON MAD DOGS AND RABIES
Scientists Predict Epidemic of Hydrophobia This Year.
Look out for mad dogs when the weather gets warmer. Experts on dogs and the best authorities on rabies declare that an epidemic of hydrophobia among Indiana dogs is developing rapidly and that the coming summer is sure to bring on a decidedly dangerous increase in the disease. The mad dog epidemic has been growing and has been observed by scientists in Indiana since November, 1(105. It is declared by state health officers that conditions are not at all pleasing so far as danger from mad dogs is concerned. It is predicted that there will be heavy loss of life and money before hydrophobia among the dogs of the state is stamped out. The last year has seen many deaths due to rabies, caused from dog bites and much live stock has been lost in the same way. Word has gone forth from the medical authorities, "War on the stray dog." The muzzle and the shot gun are likely to be called into general use in the dog world this season.

Chicago, June IS. Indiana was conspicuous at the Auditorium Annex last night. Several thousand ' persons listened to a concert given by the Marion club band, which played for half an hour before the Indiana headquarters. The band escorted the Marion club to the hotel. It was a cheering, enthusiastic crowd of Iloosiers. While the band played the crowd cheered. The name of Vice President Fairbanks was on the lips of everybody. Curtis Meeker, of Monticello, mounting to a table, led the hurrahs for numerous statesmen in whom Indiana is interested. Finally he reached Roosevelt. "What's the matter with Roosevelt?" he yelled. "He's all right!" answered a chorus of voices. "Who's all right?" "Fairbanks!" The crowd laughed heartily. Some one yelled at the leader of the band to play an "Indiana tune." "Let's have 'On the Banks of the Wabash,' cried the crowd. The band gave the plaintive old air and there was more cheering. Then the band struck up the notes of "America," and the Marion club sang the chorus. When the "Star Spangled Banner" was reached men waved their hats in the air and hundreds of dainty handkerchiefs futtered. For more than an hour Indiana headquarters presented a wildly enthusiastic scene.

New York, June 18. Nothing but
politics was discussed over the ticker
yesterday and many and varied were
the views expressed over the developments at Chicago. If the over-the-tick-er talk has any significance at all, it certainly shows that there is little or no enthusiasm among the rank and file in Wall street over the convention or the prospective nomination of Secretary Taft. This is, of course, but the natural reflection of the deepseated belief in Wall Street that President Roosevelt's corporation policy has been responsible for the unsettlement of affairs. To the Wall street mind the convention is entirely the president's affair, and Secretary Taft the president's sejection, and so the great majority of hangers-on In the broker's offices are very outspoken in condemnation. Then the speakers go off, narrating how they are republicans, but they can't stand Bryan. They'd vote for George Gray, of Delaware, or Johnson of Minnesota, but they balk at Mr. Bryan. Of course this is very early In the campaign, but there Is a surprising number of disgruntled Wall street men who announce that they are going to vote for the unnamed candidate of the prohibition party. Break Followed Roosevelt Boom. At the opening of the market the upward movement which had been started on Tuesday was continued. Union Pacific and Reading were the leaders. An average of more than a point had been recorded when a Roosevelt stampede scare caused a halt. Before the traders had recovered from that, the announcement was made that the directors of the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis and the Lake Erie and Western had decided not to pay an dividends this quarter, owing to the. falling off In the earnings of the line. Then the whole list broke, C, C, C. and St. L. dropping 8 points. When , the Gould roads passed their dividends not much importance was attached to the move. It had been expected and correspondingly discounted in so far as it all affected the stock market. The action by the Vanderbilt roads, however, was regarded as a much more serious affair. It was as astonishing as it was sudden. It was said to illustrate more clearly than anything that has happened in a long time the conditions which railroads have had to confront since the little band of millionaires which controls the money of the trusts and manipulates the stock market decided to halt the work of various factories and mills. Of course the insiders knew that the Vanderbilt roads were about to pass their divideids. It is believed that they took advantage of that knowledge to skim the froth off the rising market early in the day. They did not dare, however, to sell too freely for fear of bringing about too severe a break. They cannot afford to have that hap-
