"TO VICTOR BELONGS SPOILS" NOT FIT TO BE GOVERNOR. CIRCULAR CALLING FORTH FOULKE'S COMMENT. Only a day. before Mr. Watson had - to leave Washington In response to an Interesting call from home, he was In the white- house. He and the president went over what had been and was then being done by congress. ' Mr. Roosevelt was so well pleased over the record that he sought an opportunity to express his feelings. Seeing John Mitchell, the - well-known labor leader. In one corr " the reception room, he beclc him to come over.' "Mr. Mitchell," said he. "you spend moat of your time in Indianapolis, In the state where Mr. Watson lives. I want to say in your presence and it is due to him that I should say it that he has worked incessantly to carry out the legislative program that I have striven to have enacted. I am confident that if it had not been for his efficient and intelligent labor many things that I wanted done would not have been done." "I am very much pleased to hear yoa say this of Mr. Watson," said Mr.' Mitchell. (By Harper.) . ' fTflliam Dudley Foulke, former civil service commissioner, confident of President Roosevelt and one of his right hand men, personal friend and counselor of William Howard Taft, re publican candidate for president, in an extemporaneous address at the coliseum last evening came out unqualifiedly in support of the candidacy of James E. Watson for governor of Indiana. Mr. Foulke spoke less than five min utes, but his remarks will have more telling effect upon the candidacy of Watson In Wayne county than any thing that has been said previously by campaigners for the republican nominee. The reason is obvious. Mr. Foulke 8 poke with President Roosevelt'as his authority and declared Watson's . record at Washington has been In conformity with the presi dent's wishes, so far as special legis lation was concerned. Here is the way, Mr. Foulke told of his conversation: "There has been a good deal of feel lng In this community against James E. Watson, as a candidate for gover nor, on the grounds he did not support the president as well as might have been expected. I confess I shared that feeling myself and when a numxr of Mr. Rosevelt's measures were stopped In the committees, I believed ' a certain amount of the responsibility must be due to him as whip of the house. It appears that within the last few days there has been issued for publication, a statement that Roosevelt and Watson held a conference at Washington about the action of con gress toward labor. It was claimed that John Mitchell, the great labor leader was seen by Mr. Roosevelt at one aide of the room and he called him over to join them and told him Watson had worked Incessantly to car ry out the legislative program the president had asked to have enacted "When this statement was spread abroad, many people said it was not true. So I began an investigation for myself at Washington and found out the facts as stated in the circular are true and that Watson has been a re sponsible aid to Mr. Roosevelt in his effort to carry out legislation in the Interests of labor and against the trusts. It Is due Mr. Watson that this be said about him, and therefore I say it "There has been more said about Continued on Page Three.

RULLA INDICTMENT QUASHED BY COURT Judge Fox Rules That It Is . Faulty Because of Duplicity. ANOTHER TO BE ENTERED. PROSECUTOR WILL RESUBMIT ' EVIDENCE TO GRAND JURY AND SECOND, WITHOUT CONSPIRACY CLAUSE TO BE PREPARED. The motion to quash the joint in dictment in the case of the state vs. Dr. J. M. Bulla and Eva Sullivan was sustained in the Wayne circuit court today. The court held the indictment returned by the grand jury to be faulty, because of its duplicity. The court directed the prosecuting attor ney to resubmit the case to the grand Jury. Bulla remains under bond. The grand jury will enter another indictment charging the physician with having committed an abortion upon Mrs. Sullivan. In announcing his decision, Judge Fox said he had examined the ques tion and the indictment at length. He said the indictment could be made good only by ejecting the first paragraph, which charged conspiracy, as surplusage or hold it as prefatory and release the woman from connection with the charge of abortion as set forth In the second paragraph. The court stated that as the indictment existed it was practically double, containing two counts, but the two charges had not been placed in separate counts. The court took exceptions to the indictment because it alleges the conspiracy as set forth in the first paragraph and the abortion as set forth in the second occurred on the same day. It was apparent that Dr. Bulla, Mrs. Sullivan and Adolph Uhley, since deceased, had conspired and immediately following that conspiracy the abortion was performed. The court claimed if the woman submitted to an abortion under such an agreement, she would not have been guilty of a4felony, but of a misdemeanor. The court said If there had been the simple charge of conspiracy and not averring the overt act, and the Indictment ceased with that, it would have been good. But both charges are technical and set forth In the words of the statute, so that they become double and both set forth in the same count. If there had been a separation the Indictment would have stood on two counts. On account of the legal uncertainty the court ruled It advisable to quash the indictment as the safest plan,

TAFT SCHEDULED TO SPEAK HCHMOND County Chairman Bowman Receives Welcome News Today. ARRIVES HERE OCTOBER 24 EXPECTED THOUSANDS WILL THRONG LOCAL DEPOT TO HEAR ' PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. To Louis S. Bowman, Chairman of Wayne County, Richmond, Indiana. It is about determined that the Taft SDecial will pass through Richmond It will be at about 8:50 a. m. Saturday October 24. The schedule is worked out tentatively and as prepared takes him through that city. It is in the bands of the railroad officials and it may develop that the schedule will have to be changed because of Impossible railroad connections.

In a day or two we will wire you concluding this arrangement. Yours, etc., (Signed) Will H. Hays. The above information was welcomed by the Wayne county central committee, when it was received today. The visit of Mr. Taft had been hoped for but there had been doubt all along until the notice from the secretary of the speakers' bureau came. It will be rather an early hour, but it is expected the candidate will make a brief address and thousands of persons will throng the depot to hear him. GIVEN LECTURE. Ed Hiatt was given a stern lecture by Judge Converse in city court this afternoon. At the conclusion he was permitted to go under suspended sentence. He was charged with public intoxication and previous conviction. It is very seldom such clemency is shown a man on his second offense. Hiatt promised the money he earns shall be turned over to his wife. THE WEATHER PROPHET. INDIANA Fair and warmer Tuesday night; Wednesday showers; fresh south winds.

PUBLIC OPINION IS GREAT FORCE Thomas A. Wigginton Addresses Presbyterian Synod On the Subject. WHAT LAW REALLY IS. STATUTES ARE CRYSTALIZATION OF PUBLIC OPINION WHICH ALSO ENFORCES THE SAME STATUTES. "Publio Opinion," was the theme of a very strong sermon preached last evening in the First Presbyterian church by the Rev. Thomas A. Wigginton, of Evansville, and the large audience present greatly enjoyed the discourse which marked the formal opening of the sessions of the synod of tne Presbyterian church of Indiana. The Rev. William J. Darby, of Evansville, moderator during the past year, presided last evening at the first session and following devotional exercises, he presented Dr. Wigginton, who, he said, had been assigned the duty of delivering the synod ical sermon. Dr. Wigginton saw much in the signs of the times to substantiate the claim that public opinion is the greatest force in the world, and he very aptly drew a religious lesson therefrom. "We think of the state as the conserator of the people's rights," said Dr. Wigginton. "and such is the case, but the state Itself is the creature of public opinion. What is law? I mean, of course, a law that stands for anything. Simply the crystalization of public opinion. Just because a law is on the statute books does not make it an actual law for it Is evident that executives are Impotent to enforce only those laws which are backed by public oponion. The will of the people sometimes is slow, but sooner or later it will sweep aside all barriers. Only recently, in New York state have we seen an example of this force. We have all of us become accustomed to believe that great political machines and great political bosses are all-powerful. But when the people once become aroused, the machine and the bosses are both overthrown." Public Wanted Hughes. Dr. Wigginton made reference to the case of Governor Hughes of New York, whose renomination for chief executive of the Empire state was brought about simply because public opinion demanded that he be renominated, though bosses and the powerful political machine of the great commonwealth were both against him. The Rev. Henry W. Johnson, of iCootiausd on Pass Five.)

In Nominating Taft, This

Pledge Was Given to the People by Republicans, Says the Hon. Seth Low. BRYAN'S DOCTRINES DEALT WITH LOGICALLY Former Mayor of New York Touches on Arguments of Nebraskan on Bank Deposits and License System. The Hon. Seth Low, of New York, delivered a very comprehensive address before a large assemblage at the coliseum last evening, dealing with the issues of the campaign from a Republican standpoint. In his introductory, the speaker indulged in a bit of satire that was the richest that has been heard here from a representative of either party. The hall was well filled and the enthusiasm was such as has marked previous ocaeions of the kind. The preliminaries consisted. of Innovations by the "spirit of '70" group of drummers and the Wayne County Republican Drum and Bugle corps. A bass drummer was added to the his toric trio and new selections were rendered. An imitation of the Taft excursion train en route to Washington by one of the drummers proved a feature. The bugle corps rendered "Marching Through Georgia," besides the usual calls. Mr. Low was Introduced by President Kelly, of Earlham college, "he speaker was spoken of as a former mayor of Greater New York, and an ex-president of Columbia university and a man of affairs. He was characterized as a uni versity man who has taken off his coat, rolled up his sleeves and entered upon the work of a political campaign in the interests of his country, although such work may be far removed from university halls. "Fellow citizens in a country so great Its Influence is felt in the farthest corners, of the globe," Is the manner in which Mr. Low addressed his audience. Continuing he said in part: "We who are fellow citizens should realize our privileges and understand that one of the greatest responsibilities resting upon each of us is to cast our vote. Mr. Creelman in the Pearson Magazine has said the reason Mr. Roosevelt refused a nomination for a third term was because he knew he would be called upon to fight the bat- i ties of the American citizens in the future. I believe that article was correct. I want you to appreciate that this president who for the work he felt he had to do for the people, but behind him a third term, did it for our sake, and while he put himself out of the question, he did not permit his policies to go by the board, and that he believes in William Howard Taft and his ability and power to make them permanent In the nation. I wish you to understand that in cominatl&s Mr. Taft at Chicago, the Republican party pledged Itself to the policies of Mr. Roosevelt. So you see you have a Republican party In line for a man who is so fully equipped and so thoroughly fit for the great office for which he has been nominated. Teherefore, we Republican speakers come before you with our consciences clear as to the character of our leader. Democrats Went Wrong. "Now, on the other hand, we- are contending against another party, which, unfortunately, also, has a history. It also has a leader, who likewise has a history. The Republicans are those who have read the history of this country for the last fifty years and the Democrats are those who have read the history of the first fifty years. I suppose we can agree to give to the Democrats the statute of limitations as to the war, but they went wrong on their specie payment idea, on the (Continued on Page Eight)

"I'll Bring My Face Over" Said Taft . to Foraker, Who Wished to Slap it

Kansas City., Mo., Oct 13. Take away the oil can. Bury the big stick. Neither of these has to do with the enmity existing between Joseph B. Foraker and William H. Taft The real cause of the disturbance dates back some 30 years. It was a personal quarrel and it had nothing to do with politics. When Taft was in Kansas City recently a school boy friend was here also. The talk drifted around to the Taft-Foraker squabble and the old friend told the following story: "In his younger days Taft was a reporter on a Cincinnati paper. At the time the incident occurred he had the courts as a regular assignment. One day, when Foraker was on the bench and Taft was reporting the trial, his legal mind saw a thing or two that he did not like. So, in his paper, he hand led out a few verbal uppercuts directed

The grand jury made an inspection of the county institutions today. The

largest part of the day was spent at the county farm west of Onterville. The superintendent treated the visitors cordially and showed them about the institution and explained the difference uses to which the various buildings are put. The county jail and the Home for Friendless Women were visited, also. The jury may have found a subject for reflection at the latter place in the number of escapes that have occurred there under the present management. 4 SUMMERS PITCHES; 'S ARM SORE AND STIFF Wild Bill's Ringer Suffers From Chill Caused by De lay of Game While Jennings Argued Sunday.

The world's championship hopes of Detroit received what may be a death blow today, when it was shown that "Wild Bill" Donovan had developed cold in his pitching arm and may not be able to work the remainder of the series. Donovan told personal friends this morning his arm was stiff and sore and he did not see how he could pos sibly work successfully within the (Continued on Page Two.) toward the person and dignity of one Foraker.

Asks Queer Questions as He Is Transported From Easthaven Insane Hospital to Railroad Station.

DID NOT KNOW HE MUST FACE MURDER CHARGE. Indictment Prepared by Wells County Grand Jury Read to Him After Crossing the County Line. ! When John W. Terrill. the most famous inmate ever confined at the Easthaven insane hospital, stepped out of the door of the superintendent's office this morning to be met by the hearty," how are you John?" and the fervent handclasp of Sheriff W. A. Llpkey of Wells county, he showed no extreme enthusiasm over his release, as would naturally be expected from one who has for five years been con fined in an insane institution. Terrill was neatly dressed In a black suit and appeared to be in splendid physical condition, but as he glanced about him there was a furitivo look In his clear brown eyes the look of a captive animal which, on being released from its place of confinement anticipates the move as a piece of trickery to bring harm upon It. After a stolid survey of the grounds and a chugging automobile which waited to take him to the railroad station, Terrill turned his glance to Sheriff Llpkey, an old friend, but there was no sign of recognition in his eyes. "I am Sheriff Llpkey. don't I look natural to you," said the officer, almost pleadingly. "No," replied Terrill with a slow negative nod of his head. Terrill never glanced back at the insane hospital as the machine sped out of the groundshe was busy scanning the occupants of the car, and at the car itself, because it was the first one he had ever ridden In. While he was doing this Sheriff Llpkey . was busily telling him about the home folks and the many improvements that had been made at Bluffton since he had been confined at Easthaven. Asks Queer Questions. In the front seat of the automobile rode a reporter. "Mr. Terrill, about a year ago the newspapers published a letter purporting to have been written by you in which charges we- made against the management of tue Insane hospital and In which the statement was made that you were a sane man. Did you. or did you not write that letter?" asked the reporter. Terrill puffed slowly at a pipe for at least a minute before answering. then he said, his voice expressionless and his face a blank. "I write all the time." Two minutes later the brown eyes again turned on the reporter and slow ly surveyed him. "Who are you?" said the old man in the same expres sionless voice. "A newspaper man" was the reply. Terrill continued to survey the reporter, but never another word did he address to him. As Terrill placed on his eye glasses and read a letter from a relative, he would occasionally make some remark to Sheriff Llpkey. "Is this town Richmond?" he asked once and then. us a street car passed, he asked "Is that a car?" Sheriff Llpkey stated this morning on his arrival here that he did not have a bench warrant for Ten-ill's arrest. He stated that he would arrest him on a grand jury indictment charging murder, which was returned In February 1906, at which time it was generally reported Terrill would be discharged from the Insane hospital. "I think that he will be tried a third time for the murder of Melville Wolfe but I do not think the state will press Its case against him very hard." stated Sheriff Lipkey. "At Blumon. he continued, "sentiment . for and against Terrill Is about equally divided, but outside of Bluffton and Wells county I find that the sentiment is entirely for Terrill." Sheriff Lipkey will not read the indictment to Terrill until he crosses the Well county line this afternoon, consequently the old man Is ignorant of the fact that he is stepping from an insane hospital Into a county jail.. Those In the automobile with Terrill this morning all expressed the opinion that Terrill is still mentally deranged. His actions were not those of an. entirely rational man.
