LIBERAL LEAGUE TO EMTFB LISTS Anti-Saloon League Will Not Have Altogether Smooth .Sailing.

URGE ORGANIZATIONS WILL BE FORMED IN COUNTIES TO COMBAT COUNTY LOCAL OPTION MOVEMENT AND DEFEAT ELECTI0N8 ON PETITIONS. Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 30- With the activity that has been developed on the part of the Anti-Saloon League in circulating petitions for county local option elections in counties which, the temperance leaders believe can be carried first, the Liberal League of Indiana is getting busy. There are increasing signs of activity daily around the league headquarters in the Indiana Trust Building. The first clashes between the Anti-Saloon league and the brewers and liberal element will come In Wayne, Daviess, Lawrence and Whitley counties. Secretary Charles Pettljohn of the Indiana Liberal League said yesterday that preparations are being made by the league to perfect large organizations in these countries for the pur pose of contesting tho local option elections. There are many people who are op posing th local option elections be cause of the expense. They estimate the cost at $oO a precinct. The coun ty council makes the appropriation to bear the expenses of the eloction. To secure an election petitions signed by 20 per cent of the voters of a county must be filed with, the county com mis doners. Voters Sign Petitions. In the four counties where the work has been taken up, petitions are now being circulated and the indications are that the required number of signatures will be obtained within the next few days. It is the intention, if possible, to hold the elections before the convening of the next legislature, which. It is believed, will change the county local option law to one with the ward and township unit. Both the Anti-Saloon league and the Prohibition party will send speakers into the counties to conduct the temperance campaigns. The Liberal league will depend not so much, upon speakers as It will upon organizationwork and what the officera term "practical politics." Not only will elections be held in Whiteley, Daviess, Lawrence and Wayne counties within the next sixty days, but other invasions are being planned, and by the time the Legislature convenes many elections will have been held or arranged for. It is the Intention to hold elections just as rapIdly as the Anti-Saloon league can organize in the different counties for the work. ARCHBOLD TO BE PRESSED HARDER Than Was Rockefeller in the Hearing of Standard Cases. 1882 AGREEMENT COUNTS ARCHBOLD WILL BE EXAMINED CAREFULLY CONCERNING THE CLEVELAND MEETING W HENOHIO COMPANY WAS FORMED. New York, Nov. 30. Hearings in the feuit to dissolve the Standard Oil company, of New Jersey, were resumed at lO&O o'clock, this morning in the Cus torn House. John D. Archbold's interesting and xoimito account of the Standard's growth and methods from its early day, had reached a point a few years previous to the formation of the al leged Oil Trust, in 1882, when the hearing adjourned last week. He was approaching the period of the Vilas, Keith and Chester trusteeship of 1879,. and this will undoubtedly be the subject of his testimony when he again takes thestand tomorrow morning. An effort" will be made to press Mr. Archbold even more closely than Mr, Rockefeller was pressed when his cross-examination by Mr. Kellogg be gins. , This has been provided against by the Standard's counsel, however, and the same precautions taken to assure immunity of the witness from criminal prosecution. Matters not touched upoa by Mr. Archbold in his examination in chief will not be the subject of his testimony under cross examination if the objections of his counsel prevail. This feature of the Investigation is likely to become specially prominent when Mr. Archbold is examined concerning the agreement made In 1SS2 at Cleveland, forming the Standard Oil company of Ohio, of which the govern ment charges the Standard Oil com pany of New Jersey Is practically the heair. The government contends that the dissolution of the 1SS2 combine, ordered by the Supreme court of Ohio In 1892, was not . put into effect until 1899.

MARSHALL BOUND TO REPEAL LAW (Continued From Page One.)

cratlc nomination for governor at the state convention last spring, and his campaign was spectacular. It is said that he spent a barrel of money in that fight, and the belief is that he would be willing to tap another barrel to make the race for senator. If Conn does come out as a candidate it is believed it will be for one of two purposes: Either to elect himself, if possible, or, failing in that, to help L. Ert Slack. Slack also was a candidate for the nomination for governor last spring, and Slack and Conn fought the same element of the party the Taggart crowd. Conn was bitter in his denunciation of Taggart methods in party politics. His utterances along that line were fully as strong as those of Slack. So it is believed that Conn may be considering the advisability to going in to help Slack whip the Taggart crowd in the senatorial fight. Senator Kistler, of Cass county, announces that he will be ready at the opening of the session of the legislature to begin a fight for the repeal of the county local option law and the substitution of the township and ward unit instead. WOODRUFF LEAVES FIELD TO ROOT State Chairman Believes the Secretary Is Best Man For Senator. CONFERRED WITH TAFT AND AT CONCLUSION WOODRUFF SAID HE DID NOT WANT TO PRECIPITATE SPLIT TO INJURE PARTY. Hot Springs, Va., Nov. 30. After a talk with President-elect William II. Taft, Timothy L. Woodruff, chairman of the New York state republican committee, today withdrew from the race for the United States senate, and made it possible for Elihu Root to be the unanimous choice of the republi cans in the legislature. Mr. Woodruff went over the entire situation with Mr. Taft and indicated clearly, that, if he desired to remain in the contest, he would be a formid able Quantity. He did not deny that an ugly fight would follow, in which It was likely that "federal interfer ence" might become the slogan of the opposition to Mr. Root; he insisted that he had no desire to precipitate a battle that surely would bring about a disastrous split in the organization, and assured Mr. Taft that he would accept his judgment. Mr. Taft told Mr. Woodruff that he felt that in the interest of party har mony the way should be cleared for the election of Mr. Root. He expressed his own regret that Mr. Root could not remain in the cabinet and declared that the new Administration would be greatly strengthened were the pre sent secretary of state to be chosen as Senator Piatt's successor. Without further ado Mr. Woodruff told Mr. Taft that he was willing to step aside and to make any sacrifice to promote the welfare of the incom ing administration. WILLIAM FOSTER SEVERELY INJURED Hurled From His Locomotive Cab While Approaching This City. HIS FACE SCOOPED GRAVEL JAW BONE PLOWED THROUGH PEBBLES AND FLESH WAS RIPPED OFF IN AGONIZING MANNER. William Foster, an engineer on the C, C. & L., is at the Reid Memorial hospital, suffering Intense agony as a result of one of the most peculiar accidents that has happened on any railroad entering this city for some time. Nearly the entire left side of his face is laid open to the bone, the jaw bone being xposed, and his right arm is fractured at the wrist. Foster resides at Peru. This morning he. was driving the engine on the north bound C, C. & L. train, due in this city about 10:45. While nearing this city he stepped to the entrance to the engine cab and leaned out. The engine made a sudden lurch and Foster was hurled headlong from the rapidly moving train to the graveled road bed. The fireman promptly stepped to the throttle, shut it off and applied the airbrakes. When the train came to a stop, the crew and many of the passengers rushed back to where the unconscious form of the engineer lay, face downward, on the roadbed. He was picked up and placed upon the train and bronght to this city. His injury is not a fatal one, but he will be terribly disfigured.

BUT ONE CHURCH OBSERVES WEEK

Others Will Accord Some Recoanit'ron to Week of Prayer. OPINION IS DIVIDED. BETTER SUCCESS TO BE ATTAINED IN LARGER CITIESNEWS OF LOCAL CHURCHES FOR THE PRESENT WEEK. The St. Paul's Episcopal church is the only protestant church that will hold services every day in observance of the week of prayer, that is being observed by the churches of the state. The First Baptist church will have special services on Wednesday and Thursday, while the other churches will pay special attention to the midweek service on Thursday evening. when many of the ministers will preach special "sermons on "Prayer." The services at the St. Paul's church start every noon at 12 :05 and conclude at 12:25, and are in charge of the Rev D. C. Huntington, rector. The Rev. J E. Cathell will have charge of the ser vices on Friday and Saturday. When a number of the ministers was asked this morning about tneir convictions in regard to this week de voted entirely to prayer, several seemed to be skeptical as to Its success Others seemed to favor the movement. "This week of prayer," said the Rev. Conrad Huber, of the St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran church," is a worthy movement and ought to result in good for men. If we can get the men to co operate, it will be successful. If not it may fail, because of the short time the men have at noon to devote to this work. In larger cities it will be more successful than in Richmond." The Rev. E. G. Howard of the First English Lutheran church, congratu lated the churches on th movement to bring the men closer to the church by the observance of an interdenomina tional week of prayer. He stated that it was his belief that the public meetings would accomplish as much as was expected, but that it will encourage more private action which is a very good result. "The week of prayer," said the Rev. R. J. Wade, of the First M. E. church, "represents a spiritual impulse among the men of the church. I think that it will awaken the men to the large opportunties that lie before them in the church that are worth while." The Rev. Thomas J. Graham of the First Presbyterian church, and the Rev. Robert H. Dunnaway of the Second Presbyterian, are at -Cambridge City today attending a meeting of the Presbyterian Home Mission committee which is in session. The Rev. Harry R. Keats of the South Eighth Street Friends' church, who has been assisting in revival services at the Friends' church at Louisville during the past several days, is expected to return home this afternoon. COST OF CENSUS ILLBESHBIOOO Estimate Made in Annual Report of Census Director North. FOREIGNERS ARE BOTHER. COST OF ENUMERATING THEM IS INCREASED BY NECESSITY OF OBTAINING INTERPRETERS AND OTHER ASSISTANTS. Washington, Nov. 30. The cost of taking the next census as estimated by Director North in his annual report, will be $12,930,000. The director points out thie sum Is bue $410,000 more than the cost of the census of 1900, and says this will be accomplished "lnspite of the enormous growth in the population during the last decade, a growth largely contributed by foreign-born people who do not speak English, a class which it is very expensive and very difficult to enumerate." The inrease, he says, heretofore, from decade to decade, has been about 50 per cent. The enormous saving, says the director, will be effected by reason of the existence of the permanent census bureau and the installation of the bureau's own tabulating machines. Notwithstanding the congressional requirement that appointments must be made on the basis of noncompetitive examinations, the director says personal and political pressure must in the end become the determining factor, and he asks to be relieved "from this unfortunate situation." He favors the appointment of clerks on the basis of their standing on the list of eligibles. CATHELL TO PUPILS. Speaks to Those at High School and j Earl ham. The Rev. J. Everist Cathell addressed the paplls of the high school ; at the chapel exercises this morning. I Wednesday morning Dr. Cathell will -Weak to the fflgrlhsra student.

EARLHAM S STAR HURT IN GAME White Injured in Football Contest at Carthage.

Herbert White, Earlham's star all around athlete was injured in a game of football at Carthage last week. He suffered a severely sprained ankle and has not been able to return to college. The game was between Carth age and Charlottesville. The question of White's eligibility in amateur ath letics may be raised as the result of his playing in the game. White has taken other risks with breaches of the rules. SEES 110 LOOPHOLE Senator Kirkman Believes Proposed Change of Blind Tiger Law Is Sound. SENTENCE IS OPTIONAL. IN CASE OF CONVICTION INSTEAD OF ESSENTIAL AS IN PRESENT LAW REPLIES TO CRITICISMS MADE. Senator Roscoe E. Kirkman last week, made a statement through the Palladium that he believes the blind tiger law to be a week instrument, because it provided a compulsory jail sentence on conviction for the first offense. He also stated that he intended at the next session of the legislature to introduce an amendment to the law which would not make a jail sentence compulsory for flrstoffense. This amendment, Mr. Kirkman has already drawn up and reads as follows: No. 8337 Burns 1908, or P. 28, Acts 1907. "Shall be fined in any sum not less than fifty dollars, nor more than five hundred dollars, to which the court or jury trying the case may add for the first offense, and shall add for the second or any subsequent offense, imprisonment in the county Jail of not less than thirty days, nor more than six months." Mr. Kirkman's statement called forth aned"itorial criticism from a local newspaper, in which the statement was made that the elimination of the jail sentence clause would only make a defective law weaker, Mr. Kirkman points out that his proposed amendment does not eliminate this clause, but simply makes it optional with the Judge or jury whether or not the defendant 6hall be given a jail sentence. He points out that the law is now weak, because it has been proven in this county in two instances that juries are opposed to 'giving jail sentences to men charged with first offences. In the editorial referred to it is also stated that what is needed is a law not less severe than the existing one, but a law which makes the finding of quantities of liquor in one's possession as prima facie proof of guilt, thus closing the doors against fictitious defences being trumped up to explain away the presence of liquor. Mr. Kirkman points out that the law now provides mat tne Keeping oi liquor in any room or building not including licensed saloons, is unlawful, except when kept by licensed physicians and druggists, or when the same "is kept in a bona fide private residence and for family use only." Jts possession otherwise is regarded as prima facie evidence it is kept for unlawful purposes. Mr. Kirkman states that he is positive that the legislature would never manke any provision whereby liquor could not be kept by physicians and druggists, or in private residences. In the latter instance, he says, it would, in his opinion, be unconstitutional to deprive a man the right to keep liquor in his home for the use of himself and family as it would deprive him of his personal liberty. Mr. Kirkman does not see how it is possible to draw up any kind of a law which would shut out "fictitious defenses." He says that attorneys employ them In every kind and description of cases.

SCHOEPF KICKED OVER TRACE AGAIN

Now All Relations Between City and D. & W. Are Suspended. OBJECTS TO RESTRICTION. DOES NOT WANT TO ACCEPT TICKETS WHEN CARS USE PROPOSED FREIGHT LINE OF T. H, I. & E. IN EMERGENCY. The shouts of joy carroled by local shippers since the announcement was made last week that the board of pub lic works and the Dayton & Western traction company had come to an un derstanding on the franchise question, were interrupted today when the board gave out the statement that for the second time, diplomatic relations be tween the city and the company have been broken off. Today the board received a communication from President Schoepf of the Ohio Electric Railway system, which controls the Dayton & Western, stating that his company could not swallow that provision in the tentative agreement, entered into t)y himself and the board last week, which provides that when the north end freight line, controlled by the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern, is used by the Dayton & Western for tne operation of passenger cars, said cars shall be operated under the terms of the T. H. I. & E. franchise, which provides for the acceptance of city car line tickets for fares, and for the issuance and acceptance of transfers to and from local cars. Mr. Schoepf states in his communication that his company desires to use the north end line for the operation of passenger cars "in emergency cases," but objects to accepting city car line tickets for fares and for issuing and accepting transfers. The board of public works insists that the company shall comply with the provision as set forth in the tentative agreement and will refuse to make any further concessions to the company. If the Dayton & Western stands pat on the stand it has just taken, the breaking of the deadlock will be obscured from the view of the shippers, who are anxious for the resumption of freight service over the D. & W., by the mists of the dim future.
