PROBE COMMITTEE In Screaming Voice, Senator Mixed Up in Hanly Charges, Asks Further Investigation Of Case. DECLARES REPUTATION AND CHARACTER AT STAKE : I Senate Delayed Several Hours Before Adjournment Owing ,J To Investigation Findings ; Are Vague. Indianapolis, Oct. 1. So much for the governor's special session. It adjourned yesterday afternoon and last night It adjourned in sections. First fyhe house quit and then the senate. """The senate would have quit at the same time as the house, at 3:15 but for the fact that Senator Wickwlre , found a joker in the report which purported to exonorate him, along with the governor and representative KniseIjr.v on the bribery charges. It was (. not exactly a joker, either, because one did not need to search very hard " find the cloud that was cast upon '.- U e senator. Wherefore the weary jseiate found it necessary to havean '"' In estigating committee of its own, v which investigating committee spent three hours in arriving at the conclusion that "both Knlsely and WIckwire were honest in their beliefs but that ' there was a misunderstanding and that Senator Wickwlre did not intend tr, make any improper proposal to Mr. Knlsely." The senate then quit at .6:15 after ratifying its committee!? Teport, though a flag had. been draped over the face of the clock and the official adjournment time recorded as 73:15, the same as the house. So much for the session. Some things It has accomplished,- some , things it has not. The county local " option bill has been made into a law. This was, of course, the real object of " the, session. The danger of state institutions ' finding themselves without funds because of an oversight In the : appropriation acts of the regular session, was removed. There were two otlier reasons for the session the im- " minent danger of Indiana being night1 ridden and the need of rereu'ing the act by which Vincennes university was given $120,000 at the regular ses sion. The senate passed a bill to appropriate $10,000 for a secret constabulary to deal with the night riders. The house traded the bill off for the privilege of adjourning one day earlier than might have been the case. The incennes bill never got a hearing, anywhere, though there were repeated Tumor's of Governor Hanly and his hlg

. ' I .-icKV ic was never introduced in me Tsenpte and never came from commitI tee in the house. jl Committee's Finding. , Fait out of the noise and confusion V .of the. sensational short session, Gov- ; lernor Hanly came forth with the

.( things he really wanted. No person l doubts this very strongly. It looked j for. a time that Hanly had soiled his ' hands in his labors with the unwilling ' house on local option, but the investiJ gating committee removed that im- . nression. officially. Here's the comfmittee's very words: "We further find that there is no evidence in said record that the Hon. J. Frank Hanly, governor of the state . of Indiana, offered or tendered Rep- - y resentative Knlsely any position, offi- : f clal or otherwise, or any consideration , ' to lirfluence his vote on the county local option bill, nor did he authorize - . ' any other person to make any such 1 ; offer. fWe further find that Senator Wickre and Representative Knisely had Vain conversations nrior to the na. e of said local option bill relative s vote upon said measure (the evnce as to what was said at said ie3 and places being conflicting) which Renresenttiv Tfnfoaiv jjferred that certain improper inducehenta were being tendered him to In- ; menc ma vuie ua saia xocai option ; Jill; .but from all the evidence we Jind that Representative Knlsely did intend, to accept any position if ny were tendered and that Senator Vny position, had none at his disposal I or did he have authority from any pther person to make any such offer jr xnaer. f "Your committee deprecates the ; making or aniaavus, sucn as the one 1 s jvolved in this investigation, from ,1iich" inferences of Improper conduct t jght be drawn.-. : 1 1 AThls satisfied the Governor and Repf ' yssentative.

ROBBERY CHARGE IS MUCH DOUBTED Earl Huntington and Murray May Be Released.

It is probable, that Frank Murray, colored, and Earl Huntington who have been held to the circuit court upon the charge of highway robbery may escape prosecution on this charge. The complainant in the case was Edward Stegall who claimed the two held him up in an alley and robbed him. Stegall told two or three different accounts of the affair and the prosecutor doubts the authenticity to such an extent he may dismiss the charge. The pair may be prosecuted for public intoxication. STANDARD FIGHTS CHARGES PREFERRED Preferential Rate Case in the Chicago Courts. Chicago, III., Oct. 1. The Standard oil attorneys began today presenting testimony before Judge Ferries to show that the company had not received preferential rates from railroads. The case will probably continue several weeks. DIES AT THE AGE OF NINETY-SIX Mrs. Walter Carpenter Was One of the Best Known Women in County. A FRIEND OF EARLHAM. SHE WITH HER HUSBAND, WHO SURVIVES, ' SERVED COLLEGE WELL WAS A MEMBER OF THE FRIENDS' CHURCH. Six days after the quiet observance of the seventy-fourth anniversary of her marriage to Walter T. Carpenter, Mrs. Susan M. Carpenter departed this life, her death occurring last evening about 9:30 at her home on National Ave., West Richmond. Mrs. Carpenter had she lived would have celebrated her ninety-seventh birthday, December 27, this year. On January 1, her hus band, who is still in fairly good health. will celebrate his ninety-eighth birthday. Mr. and Mrs. Carpenter were probably the oldest couple in the state of Indiana and were among the best known members of the Friends church in this part of the country. Had Mrs. Carpenter lived a year longer she and her husband would have had the unique distinction of celebrating their diamond wedding. It is but seldom that such an event is recorded. Mr. and Mrs. Carpenter moved to this city in 1857 and had made Richmond their home ever since. For many years Mrs. Carpenter was matron at Earlham college and she will be affectionately remembered by all the older men and women who attended that institution. Funeral services will be held at the home Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Mrs. Carpenter was born at Peekshill, New York, December 27, 1811. In 1833 her father, John Mable, removed his family to Wilmington, O. In the neighborhood, resided the family of Walter T. Carpenter to whom she was married, September 24, 1S34. They have had four children of whom three are still living, Chas. G. Carpenter of this city, Mrs. Daniel W. Mormon, of Indianapolis and Mrs. Henry C. Wright, of Kokomo. The first two years of her married life were spent in Cincinnati, Ohio, where her husband, in partnership with two brothers was established in business. In following years, during various moves to Wilmington and Clarksville, "Ohio, and later to a farm in Clinton county, the faithfully discharged all the home and church duties devolving upon her. In the year 1857, in order to give their children better educational advantages, the family, moved to Richmond, first locating on a farm south of this city. Soon after, Walter Carpenter being elected superintendent of Earlham college, at that time known as the Friends Boarding school, she also accepted tne position of matron and together they remained In charge of the Institution until 1873. wltA the exception ? of two short lnterv' 3.

D, LARGEATTEf lY OF YEARLY LcrlllG Sessions of Today Given Over To Consideration of Reports From Various Fields Of Church Labor. MILITARY ARRAY OF UNITED STATES DECRIED At Peace Session of Meeting, Mrs. Daisy Barr. Makes a Stirring Appeal Other Business of Meeting. The second day's session of the Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends convened at 10 o'clock this morning at the East Main Street meeting house with a much larger attendance than has marked any of the previous sessions so far. The entire forenoon was given over to reports from the fields of work. Southland college which is located at Helena, Arkansaw, an educational institution for the ' negroes, was given consideration during the most of the session. In the report, which is the 45th annual report, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Wolford were highly praised for the efficiency of their work at the institution as president and matron respectively. They have had the sole management of the institution for five years and have been able to accomplish great good among the colored race. A number of such needed improvements have been made during the past year including a laundry building. During the ensuing year it is expected to erect a blacksmith shop and make some repairs in the interior of the main building. This past year seven were graduated from the normal department and two in music while 14 were advanced in standing. The attendance is close to The grounds occupied by the institution consists of about 300 acres which is tilled. During the year the receipts amounted to $.5j5.13. At the conclu sion of the report a proposition was made to sell 174 acres of the land at $25 per acre. This proposition was submitted to the meeting by the president of the board Edward Bellis, of this city. He rtated that the institution is land poor and the land is also poor. The original tract cost but a little over $2,000 but the 174 acres can now be sold for $4,000 thus placing the institution on a sound financial basis. Charles O. Whiteley who has visited the institution spoke in its behalf emphasizing the importance of caring for the school and showed that it was accomplishing much in behalf of the negro in the south. George Heartley, Allen Jay and a number of others spoke in interest of the school. A collection was taken by Charles Whiteley which amounted to $120.65. The members of the board whose term expires are Charles M. JenWns, Mary A.. J. Ballard, and Cynthia Shaffer. The following committee was appointed to select their successors Bakley Johnson, Elias B. Ratcllff, Robert L. Smith, Charles O. Whiteley, Esther Cook, Saddie Harvey, Eliza W. Hiatt, Irene Beard, Elvira Woodward and Caroline Edgerton. The sad fact was then made known that Sousan M. Carpenter who is widely known among the Friends had died at her home in West Richmond. ' On suggestion the following committee was selected to prepare a communication from the Yearly Meeting to the children and old people of the church, expressing to them the best wishes of the body in session. The committee was as follows: Ancll Ratcliff, Daisy Barr, William Small, Francis Jenkins, Jennie Unthank, Albert Copeland, Esther Cook, Flora Sayers, and Albert Henley. A printed report was presented to the meeting-setting forth the extent of the work being done by the Friends among the Indians. Edward Hole was presented to the meeting by Robert Douglas and it was agreed that Mr. Hole who is here representing the African Industrial school should have the privilege of addressing the meeting, from one until two o'clock Friday afternoon. Cyrus Harvey was also accorded the privilege of presenting a paper on the atonement; at the conclusion of the afternoon session Friday. . As a conclusion to the morning session epistles were read from New England, New York and Baltimore Yearly Meetings and these were referred to a previous committee having such matters in charge. Fitting responses will be sent as minutes. Nicholson's Selection Pleases. The selection again of Timothy Nicholson as clerk' of the Indiana Yearly Meeting, shows in what high esteem the "Grand Old Man". Is held by the Friends denomination. His selection for this responsible' office was by universal consent, the selection having been made at the session Wednesday afternoon.

WATSON WOULD VETO OPTIOS UW REPEAL Makes Declaration in Speech At Logansport, Before Big Crowd. IS IN GOOD CONDITION. CONGRESSMAN SAYS HE WILL GO THROUGH CAMPAIGN IN EXCELLENT STYLE TENDERED A CORDIA'aECEPTION. Logansport, Ind., Oct. 1. "If I am elected Governor and the Legislature should repeal the county unit local option law I will veto it." This is the declaration made by James Ell WaU son in his address before 3,000 Republicans of Cass county last night. His second statement of force was with regard to himself: "I am amazed at the reports of the press with regard to my physical condition. I am in fine shape and will go through the campaign in excellent style." - . Watson arrived in the city on a late car from Lafayette. He was hurried to the hall, which was jammed to the doors, awaiting his coming. Mounting the platform, he at once began his talk. When he had reviewed his labor record for the benefit of hundreds of union men who confronted him, he plunged into state issues and bore strongly upon county unit local option. He declared that Governor Hanly's primary object, when he first considered the call of the special session, was regarded as a necessary financial measure. His defense ' of Hanly in this particular was surprising to most of his audience. Rev. John Wesley Hill, of New York followed Watson. THE WEATHER PROPHET.

AGAIN W.R. HEARST READS OIL LETTERS SENT T0F0RAKER Pays Compliments to Roosevelt and Bryan, Both of Whom He Dislikes Most Cordially. SHOWN BY LETTERS, FORAKER PROFITED $15,000 Hearst Says He Will Get Even Vith the President After He Leaves the White House for His Former ActionsDenver, Oct. 1. In a speech consuming less than 30 minutes, William R. Hearst, chairman of the Independence party national committee, last night renewed his charges against Senator Foraker of Ohio and Governor Charles N. Haskell of Oklahoma, and read additional letters and affidavits bearing upon the charges. The two letters addressed to Senator Foraker and signed by John D. Archbold of the Standard Oil company, in which were inclosed certificates of deposit for $5,000 and $10,000, respec tively, each bearing date 1900. were read. In this connection Mr. Hearst referred to the claim of Senator For aker that he (Hearst) had not made public any of the letters which would prove Foraker's innocence. He declar ed he had no such letters In his col lection. Mr. Hearst paid his respects to President Roosevelt and Mr. Bryan and compared the action of the presi dent in repudiating Senator Foraker with that of Mr. Bryan, who, he said, was willing to take the responsibility of Governor Haskell's connection with the democratic national. committee. Resuming his comments on President Roosevelt, Mr. Hearst said it was not true that he and the president "have altered our opinions of each other and are working now hand in hahd,M" as theUemocrats 'charged."?""" Will Get Even With Roosevelt. "I dislike Mr. Roosevelt personally, and have every reason to dislike him. When I was running for governor of New York, Mr. Roosevelt sent his present mouthpiece, Tweed's defender, into New York to say what was false about me and what Mr. Roosevelt knew to be false. If ever I have an opportunity to even things up with Mr. Roosevelt after he has ceased to be president, I shall do so with particular satisfaction. "As the Foraker-Haskell controversy is still raging in the press and in the daily bulletins from the White House and in extra editions of The Commoner, I am going to take one final fling at the situation. "The Standard Oil was bound to take revenge upon the present administration for the prosecution instituted against it and the fine imposed upon it. "Everybody began to suspect that the Standard Oil might possibly make improper overtures to the democratic party. No sooner had the suspicion been formed than along comes the democratic party up the avenue brazenly flaunting the $20,000 senatorial (Continued on Page Three.)

EVELT POLICY OH PUBLICITY IS INDORSED BY TAFT Republican Candidate Takes Occasion to Differ With Bryan in the tatter's Home City. BRYAN PANACEAS; ARE DISCLOSED. At All Points Taft Appeals The People to Put Their Trust in the Party That tfas C Done Things. , Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 1. Accepting the challenge of William J. Bryan right in the home city of the Nebraakan last night, William H. Taft not only indorsed President Roosevelt' position on publicity of campaign con tributions, but defended it with argn-., ments calculated to establish that po' sition as sound from the standpoint ot public good and to show that the Bryan position was one simply for pre-election sensationalism. Mr. Taft spoke longer than he ex- s pected, so that he could not take up , the matter in his speech, so he issued a public statement comprising what he would have said had, he ppoken that subject. v "Mr. Bryan challenges' me to take the same position that President Roosevelt takes with reference to the time when publicity should be made of campaign contributions and I accept the challenge," said Mr. Taft. 'I take exactly the same position that the president takes. I have always been in favor of a law requiring publicity of both contributions and expenditures immediately after election.
