ROUTINE BUSINESS AT YEARLY MEETING (Continued From Page One.)

reiterated many of the artcles of faith. - Rev. Copeland was assisted In the meeting by Elisabeth Jenkins of Wabash, prominent as a minister. Rev. Copeland is well known by many local Friends as he was at one time a student in Earlham. The devotional meeting Tuesday evening was in charge of Rev. Mott, of Cleveland, O., his subject pertaining to the pentecost that the early church enjoyed, and he urged that the church of today must get back to that early fire from on high If It is to accomplish anything in the great evangelization of the race. Personal Mention. Frances Thomas of Spiceland, one of the most widely known ministers of Indiana Yearly Meeting, is now attending his seventieth session. He probably holds the distinction of being the oldest minister of the meeting. Rev. Sayers of Winchester meeting has had the unique experience of having been raised a Catholic, but later felt that the Protestant faith more nearly embodied his personal convictions, consequently he affiliated himself with the Friends society. Winchester meeting, where he is stationed is the largest meeting in the world. Mr. Goddard, Muncie, one of the wealthy men of the chyrch is in attendance. John Kittrell of Farmland is said to be the Sam Jones of the Friends denomination. He was born and reared In the mountains of Kentucky and retains many of his original coloqual personalities. Those who have seen him in "action" in a series of meetings say that he makes no compromise with the "world and the devil." The meals being served In the basement of the church are being provided by Mrs. Elizabeth Candler, the profits being devoted to the North End Mission. Delegates appreciate the favor and are incidentally assisting in a worthy charitable cause. Cyrus W. Harvey of Kansas who is a visiting delegate at the Yearly Meeting is the author of a work on the "Atonment" calculated to bring better unity. The programs of the meeting are furnished by the Mather Bros. - Coal company of this city, which now occupies the original Indiana Yearly Meeting house. A short history of the meeting is given in these folders. LIE PASSED CASE HEARING (Continued F."Dm Page One.) pearance in the lobby of the house of representatives early yesterday afternoon as to what his appearance meant. The governor held a short conference with Speaker Branch and immediately the speaker asked Representative SHmp and others to summon the re publicans to their caucus chamber. When the republicans filed out the democrats clapped their hands in rhythm with their steps and called "Hay foot!" and "Straw foot!" and similar euithets. The republicans were inthelr room about twenty-five ' minutes. It was agreed that they should accede to the governor's request for an investigation. In the meantime Governor Han1 yconferred in the lobby with Lieutenant Governor Miller, Senator Kimbrough and Senator A. G. Cavins. The house convened at 2:35 and Governor Hanly read his message. While who sat in the rear of the chamber became very pale. When the governor had finished Knisely conferred with Representative James Garrard of Knox county. As the governor left the chamber every member on the democratic side of the house sat immovable and apparently dumb with amazement. Representative Condo moved that a committee of three be appointed to investigate Knisely's charge. RepresentativeFruechtenicht, democrat, asked that the committee consist of sixthree democrats and three republicans. Repersentative Condo suggested four and his amendment to that effect was adopted. The motion to Investigate then carried unanimously. Speaker Branch said he was not prepared at that time to name the committee and other business was taken up. Later the speaker announced the appointment of Representatives Daily and Condo, republicans, and Downey and Honan, democrats. Representative Daily, who had been made the chairman of the committee, called the sesto order and stated the object of the meeting. Aftr the attorneys had suggested methods of procedure and a line of action had been determined upon. Knisely was called to the stand. It was decided that the hearing should rot be governed by any certain set rules, and that all testimony bearing upon the matter In controversy should be admitted. Chance Hardy was summoned from the office of the clerk of the supreme court. He administered the oath to witnesses. Knisely In reply to questions by SenatorKlstler, said he lived near Butler, in Dekalb county. He said he was elected to the .legislature in 1906; that he represented Dekalb county; that he Is 55 years o fage, married and a farmer. "Are you acquainted with Senator Wickwire 1" asked Kistler. "I am," the witness replied. "How long have you known him 7 asked Kistler. "Since 1906," replied Knisely. "When did you have any conversation with Senator Wickwire during

TELLS OF THEFT OF STANDARD LETTERS

John D. Archbold Springs New Phase of the Hearst Case. THE LETTERS WERE SOLD. ACCORDING TO STORY REACHING ARCHBOLD'S EARS, THEY WERE DISPOSED OF TO HEARST'S NEW YORK JOURNAL. New York, Sept. 30. A new pas of the discussion of the so-called "Standard Oil correspondence" made public recently by William R. Hearst was entered upon when John D. Archbold, Vice President of the Standard Oil Company, made a statement set ting forth details of the alleged theft of correspondence from his files. "In response to many inquiries as to the theft of letters from files the following may be made known: "Over three years ago a report reached me that certain of my letters had been offered for sale to newspapers of this city, avowedly as stolen letters. Examination showed that some letters were missing and that they could have only been taken by some one not only familiar with the office details,' but highly trusted. "The party on whom suspicion fell stoutly denied all guilt. A little later, however, a man who represented himself as acting between the thief and those to whom the letters had been sold proposed to return some of tho letters for a consideration. His story was that the idea of the theft had been conceived by his brother, who had at one time been in the company's employ, and that this brother had induced the employe already suspected to accomplish the theft. "According to the go-between's story he had disposed of the letters, or some of them, to two men, who purchased them on behalf of Mr. Hearst's newspaper, the Journal. Not only had the stolen letters been thus traded for but the thief was induced to carry off one or more letter copying books, many of whose pages, he claims, were photographed, other pages being removed altogether. The books in question were, the go-between said, returned after 48 hours. It is .impossible to say how many were stolen and sold In this way. The thieves worked at their leisure. "It is not thought necessary to say more at present or to mention names. The corroboration of the go-between's story of three years ago lay in his return of some of the correspondence at the time. The production of stolen letters by Mr. Hearst is further corroboration now. Obviously among such a coterie, authenticity of their output is not to be lightly accepted. The opportunities for falsification, suppressing of context, distortion of passages are many." the present special session?" asked Senator Kistler. "I had two conversations with him," Knisely replied. "When was the first?" "Monday or Tuesday of last week." "When did you again have a con versation with him?" "Saturday, the 26th of this month." "Where." f "In the rear of the senate, at the outer door leading from the cloak room into the state house corridor. We were sitting on a bench in t he corridor outside the cloakroom." Mr. Knisely told again he was led to believe he could secure a position paying $700 to $2,000 per year by voting for the measure. Knisely was asked: "What, if any, further conversation did you have with Wickwire?" "He came to the house." "When was that?" "About ten minutes before convening time and about five minutes after I talked with him before." "Where was he at that time?" "Outside the railing in the house chamber." "Where were you at that time?" "In my seat,; No. 81, right next to the door. He motioned with his finger for me to meet him. I met him outside the cloakroom door." "What conversation took place there?" " 'Come with me, he said. I followed him to the elevator and we went down to the first floor. He went first to room No. 5 and tried the door. Then ha went to room No. 4. opened the door and led me inside. Room No. 4 leads into the governor's room. The governor met me about half way inside and shook hands with me. Senator Wickwire said 'This is Mr Knisely. Then he went out. The governor took me to a chair and we both sat down. The governor asked me to vote for the county local option bill. He stated that it was the sentiment of the people in my county that I should vote for It. I didn't say anything. , I just looked at him. He said We'U take care of you.' I said "Governor I'm a democrat,. What would you do if you were in my place and I in yours? He said 'I would most certainly accept.' He said 'Knisely this Is the op portunity of your life.' I said, 'Gover nor I beg to differ with you. " "Where did you go then?" "I went back to the house. Mattingly Cross-Examines Him. Senator Mattingly, counsel for Senator Wickwire, was given the first opportunity to cross-examine the witness. He asked Knisely if he hadn't consulted Wickwire frequently about legislation during the session of 1907. "Only upon those two occasions, the witness replied." "What was your object In going after you suspected wbsrs fes was Ukr

ing you? Were you intending to accept or did you Intend to trap Wickwire?" "I wanted to see what it was he was to offer me." No Thought of Exposure. "You had no thought of exposing this alleged attempt on your honor? "No sir. I doubted if he had the authority to offer me a position." "You wanted to see whether the governor was in it?" "I did.". "You had no thought of exposing any one?" "No. sir." "Have you ever been employed as a member of a detective association?" "No. sir." "The governor didn't say anything about giving you a position, did he?" "Only that he would take care of me. "He didn't say that he would offer you an official position?" "No." "He didn't say, did he. that he would appoint you to any board?" "No, sir." "He didn't mention Wickwire's name, did he?" "No." "Did you say or intimate what you were called for?" "No, sir." "Senator Wickwire didn't, either, did he?" "No, sir." "You didn't hear Senator Wickwire say anything, except to introduce you?" "That is all." "Did you ask the governor how you would be taken care of? You didn't get any more from him-than you did from Senator Wickwire, did you?" "I wasn't bidding for anything." "The governor didn't say anything about a position, public or private, commercial or official, did he?" "No, sir." A long discussion as to the committee's authorized duties ensued. It was decided that the committee should determine later what kind of a report it should make to the House. Mr. Shirley was instructed to proceed. "Didn't you remember," asked Shirley, "that Ananias Baker had stampeded the House?" "I did, yes, but it didn't enter my mind at the time I explained my vote." "Didn't you want to strike the measure the hardest blow you could?" "I voted against it. I believed it ought not to pass." "At whose instance did you make the affidavit published in the newspapers?" "Mr. Stokes Jackson." "The Democratic state chairman?" "Yes." "How long was it after you made your statement in the House that he came to you?" "An hour or so. He met me at the Denison." "Was he alone?" "I think Representative Barclay and Senator Tyndall were there. We were in the dining room." "Was it suggested that there ought to be a formal charge?" "Mr. Jackson asked me to make an affidavit. I agreed to give him an affidavit. He asked me to meet him in Room 29." "Who were there?" "Senator Tyndall, Mr. Barclay, Mr. Jackson, the lady who took down the statement, and myself. The lady took down my statement in shorthand. Lateer a typewritten form was handed me for my signature." No Reward Offered. "Was any reward offered to you for making the affidavit?" "None whatever." "Was any reward offered you for finding out Governor Hanly's and Senator Wickwire's intentions?" "None whatever." "What did Mr. Jackson say he wanted with the affidavit?" "He didn't say." "Did he say he was going to publish it?" "Not to me." "Did you know It was to be published?" "Not until I saw It In the papers." "Had you no purpose in making it?" "I had no purpose." When Mr. Shirley finished Senator Mattingly resumed the cross-examination. "Mr. Jackson," asked Mattingly, "didn't tell you he wanted it for political purposes?" "He did not." "He didn't say he wanted it for a hand bill to be sent broadcast over the state?" "He did not." "Did you keep a copy of it?" "I did, yes sir." At this juncture, Senator Kistler objected to Mattingly's cross-examination, which, he said, was based on Mr. Shirley's cross-examination. Senator Wickwire was placed upon the stand. He said he never offered Mr. Knisely a reward, office or anything else; nor did he tell him the Governor would give him any appointment. The only appeal he ever made to him was on moral grounds and doing the pleasure of his constituency.

SYMPATHY SHOWN. Mrs. Gehring May Escape Prosecution. It is regarded as hardly probable Mrs. John Gehring will be prosecuted for the alleged theft of two chickens belonging to Milton Webster, colored. The authorities are disposed to accord Mrs. Gehring a degree of sympathy. She did not eat the chickens and so profited nothing by their capture when running at large upon the public highway. The woman has had a score of troubles during her life and the chicken matter is regarded as trivial. "Papa," said the bright boy, "has the teacher any right to punish me for what I haven't done? "Certainly not, my boy." replied the father. "Well, that s what happened to me today. He punished me because I hada't done my lessons.'

BIG PARTIES III HEED OF MONEY

Republicans and Democrats Alike Hampered for Want Of Funds. RECEIPTS ALMOST GONE. REPUBLICAN LEADERS OF NEW YORK PREDICT THE ELECTION OF TAFT SHOW MUST BE MADE. New York, Sept. 3f. Republican campaign workers who are here say that they regard the election of the republican national ticket assured. They say that the electoral vote for Bryan will not be any higher than it was in lOOO and that he will not carry any more states than he did in that year. Chairman Mack of the democratic national committee, was on his job today, but he had a fit of the blues. He said that he was busy turning over the campaign funds to Herman Rldder the new treasurer of the national committee. He would not tell how much he was turning over, but admitted that the national committee has already expended more than $fi9,000. To tell the sad truth both republican and democratic national committees are broke, and any man who has anything to give away in the shape of money, either by mail or in person, will have a ready welcome. The problem in both Metropolitan Tower and Hoffman house headquarters is not of votes, but of dollars. Unless some sinews of war are produced soon the campaign on each side will be cut down to quarter time. Up to date the democrats have realized quite a little money, which has been derived mostly from small subscriptions. The republicans have secured not to exceed $350,000, raised in larger sums and from fewer individuals than the democratic fund. Both parties already have expended practically their entire receipts and have outstanding contracts that will tax their last reserves. Neither side has any money to undertake the final month's campaign, which always has been the most expensive period. It is the unanimous opinion that no matter what the state of bankruptcy headquarters must be kept open and a show made of running an active campaign. But internally there is prospect of radical economy for both partines. SPR0USE-C00K WEDDING. One of the prettiest of the early fall weddings took place this morning at St Andrew's church when Mr. Howard Sprouse and Nettie Cook were united in marriage. Promptly at seven o'clock the bridal party marched up the aisle to Mendelssohn's wedding march, which was played by Mr. Joseph Richter. The attendants were Miss Hilda Cook, sister of the bride and Mr. Joseph Neal of Dayton, O. The bride was attired in a Joplin blue traveling suit with a plumed hat and gloves to match. The bridesmaid wore a brown suit with gloves, hat and shoes to match. The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Cook of South Seventh street and Is a well known young woman of this city. After the ceremony at the church a wedding breakfast was served to some fifty guests at the home of the bride. The bride received many handsome presents. At 10 o'clock Mr. and Mrs. Sprouse left for a short wedding trip to eastern points and upon their return will be at home at 112 Lincoln street. They have the best wisheB of their many friends.
