SIXTH DISTRICT WOMAN AMONG THOSE WHO ATTEMPTED TO KEEP OUT PLANK AFFECTING RAILROADS.
: "Washington, July 10 Admiral WinHeld Scott Schley will bo offered the Wretaryship cf the navy in case William J. Bryan is elected president. It Vould be the first time in history that fcny naval officer has received this position. The position of secretary of Ithe navy has always been more or less lof a Joke. The department has been run by the bureau of navigation, and the secretary has not been much more Whan a chief clerk, who registers the oecrees of that bureau. The bureaucratic ring has run the department for years, first under one 'resident and then under another, j"without regard to politics. Bryan in
tends, in case he becomes president, to 'make a clean sweep of this ring and to inaugurate a new deal all around. He idoes not believe it possible to do that without a practical naval officer at the 'head of tho department. When Schley was a desk officer here in jWashington, he proposed a number of 'reforms which, although they were not 'acted upon, gave the idea that in a po'sltion of high responsibility Schley could completely reform the bureaucratic system. To Bryan's mind there Js no one who combines the necessary iminllf irn t lonn of heiner a naval officer
.And having reform ideas so completely (
s does Schley. i The nearest parallel to Bryan's proposltlon in American history is that afforded in President Johnson's administration, when Gens. Grant and Schofleld, both officers of the regular army were made secretaries of war, one aftfr the other. Gen. Gates acted in practically the same capacity during ithe revolution, but at that time we ,had no president and no cabinet. Gen. i Gates' office was that of secretary of J the board of war. In naval affairs (there is no parallel whatever for Bryan's idea. ! Schley is not merely an officer with
a war record including personal heroIsm In the civil war, a record for gallantry la the trouble with Korea, and for his well-known performance at
I Santiago, but an officer with ideas I about desk work. When he was a bu
reau chief in Washington he was more prolific of suggestions thati any other officer who has ever held the job of chief of the bureau of equipment. Aside from thet he has held a number of other desk positions in Washington In all of which he has shown the same tendency.
i Admiral Schley has not been apiproached by any representative of Bryan on this question and knows nothing of it.' It leaked out in a purelly accidental manner, and has not been i confided by Bryan to anybody outside Ithe circle of his most intimate friends.
Denver, July 10. Thomas R. Marshall, the Democratic nominee for Governor of Indiana, watched the resolutions committee closely, and when the committee finished its work there was a portion of the platform that Mr. Marshall thinks will not be satisfactory to the Democrats of Indiana. In fact, a number of Indiana politicians, headed by Thomas Newkirk, formerly of Rushville, endeavored to keep from the platform the kind of a plank affecting railroads that the committee adopted. Said Mr. Marshall: "I do not object to the platform as a whole, and believe that it speaks the truth. I think, however, It would have been wise to differentiate between alleged railroad owners who seek to water stock and deceive the public, and the legitimate railroad enterprises of the country. I believe the railroads of Indiana are legitimate enterprises, and I will not recede from my proposal to give them, their employes and the public each representation on the State Railroad Commission. The Bank Deposits Plank. "In my Judgment the platform should have declared alone for the guarantee of bank deposits and not for that and
postal banks as well. If the public is
assured that its deposits are safe, it
is satisfied with the present banking
system. These are problems, however, which, in my judgment, are not of
vital interest as far as the campaign in Indiana Is concerned and it must be understood that a platform must always be the consensus of opinion of many men, rather than the Ipse dixit of the individual citizen. One thing is sure, the delegates are voting their sentiments and the party ought to be satisfied with the results of the work of the platform committee." Mr. Marshall Before the Committee. Mr. Marshall appeared before the committee on resolutions and protested against the plank relating to railroads. He argued in favor of the antiinjunction, plank and he also paid some attention to postal savings banks and national bank deposits. Mr. Marshall called the committee's attention to the fact that Indiana will be a battleground In the coming campaign and he said the convention should' not fall to take notice of that fact. Close attention was given Mr. Marshall's speech.

Iff Streets Are Not Torn Up, Glass Is Encountered.
. Bicyclists of the city have cause to ilament. They believe there must be 1 come kind of a conspiracy between the street commissioner end the street 'railway repair gang, whereby it is
'agreed to keep Main street between the bridge and Fourth street torn up. If the commissioner is not putting . t reeh stone on this section of the street cr spiking it up by the road roller, the street car men are making new wir,'lngs on the railing, and picking up the street at each Joint Wheelmen ' endeavor to keep a path along the- side (of the street car rails, as the rest of ;the road's surface is too rough to make I tiding comfortable. ( The bicycle men also are complaining because of the large amount of glass to be found on the streets of the fOlty.

TIME HOOSIER STOR
the letters inclosed arc translations of that received from the father of the missing man, the letter written home from Laporte by Lindboe while working for Mrs. Gunness, and the reply made by Mrs. Gunness to an inquiry from the parents of the young man, in which she declared that Lindboe had left her home and gone to St. Louis. Another significant point Is the fact that the lettar written by Mrs. Gunness is signed "Mrs. P. S. Gunness," which are the initials found on one of tho rings taken from the fingers of the dead woman. The father of Olof Lindboe is F. A. Lindboe, lighthouse keeper, Gracerne, Fyr, Ulfstcin Sondmor, Norway.
