THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 1909.

DEMOCRATS ARE AT SEA OVER THE OPTION REPEAL Two Hours' Session Was Held, But No Definite Decision Reached as to Course of - Action to Pursue. THIRTEEN DEMOCRATS WITH REPUBLICANS Are Opposed to Repeal of the Present Law and Substitution of ward and Township Option Measure.

Palladium Bureau, Indianapolis, Jan. 29.

.. Although they , remained In session for more than two hours yesterday

afternoon, the democratic members of

the house failed to reach any definite

conclusion as to what they will do

with the local option matter. It had

been expected that the house commit

tee on public morals would make a re

port yesterdayon the bill and that It would be a divided report, the democrats favoring the passage of the bill to substitute the township and ward

local option bill for the present county

local option law. This is the bill that

was introduced by. Representative Kleckner, of Cass county, and it will probably be reported out of the committee ahead of any of the other anti-

liquor bills that have been introduc ed. Hostetter Rebellious.

. The three republican members of

the committee, Elliott, Jay and Mad

dox, announced that they were ready

to sign a minority report against the

passage of the repeal bill, and for a time there was a prospect that the

democrats would get together and sign a majority report favoring the passage of the bill. But then it was learned that Representative Hostetter, demo

crat, of Putnam county, would not sign either report So the democrats decided to delay the making of a report Until they could get together on the matter. , The democrats of the house then decided to hold a caucus on the local option question and try to find out just where they stood. This caucus was held yesterday afternoon in the speaker's room. Nearly all of the democratic members were present, and there was a wide range of talk on the subject. It developed that there are several democrats in the house who will oppose the repeal of the county option law, even the substitution of the ward and township unit for the county unit. Just how -many of these there are is not known definitely, but there are said to be at least thirteen of them. Honan Helps Garrard. While the discussion of the local option question was in progress some one suggested that this would be a good time to elect house democratic caucus officers. The democrats had not yet done this. Representative Strickland, of Greenfield was elected caucus chairman. The names of Representative Wells,-of Fort Wayne, and Representative Garrard, of Vincennes, were placed in nomination for caucus secretary. Garrard has all along been Tecognized as the democratic floor leader, and his entrance into the race for caucus secretary was a surprise to some of the brethren. But Speaker Honan came to the rescue by stating that while Garrard has been recognized as floor leader he had never been duly elected to that position, and he suggested that this would be a good time to elect him to that Job. This suggestion was followed, and this took Garrard out of the race for caucus secretary. Then Wells was elected. Democratic Split. ' When the talk was going on to the effect that the democrats ought to stand together on the local option question, some member recalled the fact that earlier in the day, when the Strickland bill for the regulation of the foreign vote was under discussion, several democrats had voted in favor of an amendment that was offered by Representative Greiger, republican, of Laporte county. These members, apparently were not tickled to death ov

er the reference in anything but a

happy frame of mind. It was seen finally that the demo

crats would not be able to get togeth

er on the local option matter so it was

decided to; give it up for the present

and to call another caucus for tonight.

The members were instructed by the

chairman to give careful consider

ation to the matter in the meantime

and be prepared to take a definite

stand one way or the other oa the Kleckner bill to substitute the township and ward unit for the county unit. They were told to also study the other bills that have been introduced to regulate the liquor traffic by straight out repeal of the county op

tion law, the limiting of saloons ac

cording to population, high license and strict laws for the punishment of

those who violate the liquor laws. The chairman said they should go over the whole situation. Hold Caucus Tonight. It Is considered doubtful however, If anything will be accomplished in the democratic caucus on this subject because not all of the democrats will be bound by any caucus action. In the meantime the committee on public morals will not make any report on the Kleckner bill, but will wait for Um result of the caucus tonight

On' Wednesday night the democrats

also held a caucus but did not try to

bind any one to any course of action. Senator-elect Shively was present and made a speech in which lie told them that they ought to stand squarely on the democratic platform, and reminded them that that , platform contained a plank favoring township and ward local option.

PRINCESS BONNIE

A GREAT SUCCESS

Large Crowd Greeted Opening

Performance Last Night And Was Pleased.

MOVED LIKE CLOCK WORK

ALL THE PRINCIPALS TOOK

THEIR PARTS EXCEPTIONALLY WELL AND THE CHORUS WAS FINELY DRILLED. .

, The "first night" of- the Princess

Bonnie scored a success at the Gen

nett theater last night which ' should dispel the idea that all the dramatic talent of the city has died ' or moved

away. L , It hasn't. i

The leading parts were all more than well taken care of. This is" putting it

mildly and complacently. Miss Juliet

Swayne had , more opportunity than

the rest of the. cast to show what she

could do. Her Spanish dance with

Mr. Reiber was perhaps as striking a

thing of the sort as has ever been

done in Richmond. The two dancers were evenly matched in skill and grace

as the danced the typical Spanish dance to the effervescent music of the

MBacheche. The chorus of young

Richmond society girls was effective as

a background and their dancing was full of vim and go with a dash and swing which rendered their act of

unexpected merit. Monkey Song a Hit.

It is no contradiction to say that the Monkey Song of Miss Marie Kauf

man was as pronounced a hit as the

Spanish dance, for the two were very

different. Miss Kaufman sang her best

with a nonchalant air which fitted her

temperament and the song. The novelty stunt pulled off by June Gayle and Moorman Lamb was an unusually good foil to the song and was splendidly

done with abandon.

Throughout the entire production

Miss Josephine Catcs had ample op

portunity to sustain her reputation as an accomplished vocalist. The

combination of repartee and song between Mr. Howard Kamp and Miss

Cates was diverting and the parts were

excellently taken.

Miss Pearl Hasecoster as Donna

Pomposo had very little chance to more than intimate that she could

take care of a larger part. Eggemeyer a Scream.

Walter Eggemeyer showed sprightllness as a comedian whenever he appeared, especially in his canoe interpo

lation with Miss Juliet Swayne. My ron Malsby was as pompous as a

Spanish admiral with the name of

Pomposo ought to be.

Mr. Raymond Swing had concealed

himself so remarkably in his charac

ter of vinliany that he could not even

run away from it when three members

of the cast were close on his trail and

while Miss Swayne was doing the megaphone manf stunt "a la seeing New

York." That was going at a rapid

rate. First From Cod Belt.

Mr. Roy Lacey and Mr. Erman Smith needed only the addition of two

yellow slickers to give the illusion that

they had not been imported direct

from the cod belt. While "Tort

Poundstone managed to overflow from

his minor part,into a "near" princi

pal with his negro dialect and asides

The chorus was well drilled and

went through their evolutions with on

ly an occasional flaw just to show that they were not from the Gay White

Way. Costuming Pleasing. One feature of the evening was the costuming. The many dresses which were entirely marvels of daintiness would take a page of feature stuff in a metropolitan paper's woman's section. Many of them had been made for the occasion. The men's costumes which were secured for the play had none of the appearance of borrowed properties. , In short the production was extremely creditablt and there will no doubt be a crowd at the second per formance.

Marion, Ind., Jan. 29. Has Marion's code - of morals been revised ? Have Marion society women changed their ideas on playing cards for prizes? Or do they fear the grand jury investigation and trouble with the authorities and officers of the law? Since the Question of gambling and

enrri nlflrlnff woo a rnnaail In Xfaritn I

are . Marion clubs and society women stopping their games for prizes because they have been doing wrong? The North Marion Pedro club has voted to discontinue playing cards for prizes. Other card clubs are following the same procedure. All of them refuse to give to the public the winners of prizes at the regular meetings and still others refuse to make public even the nature of their gatherings. Card clubs which were recently free with their information concerning their meetings, now tell the society editor that they "Just held a little Informal affair." and decline to permit the announcement of their meetings to be carried any more in the society columns. Marion society wrought up over disclosures and discussions in the recent agitation and the attacks of ministers from pulpit and business meet

ing, followed by the announcement of a prosecuting attorney that he stands ready to investigate averments of those who say that Marion women are

playing cards for both prizes and money, "has modified its code of proced

ure. Every card club in the city has tak

en some action, either to abandon

playing for prizes or at least to play

in secret. Different motives seem to have prompted each of them to take

some drastic action of some nature or

other.

Vitally interested in developments.

Marlon society is awaiting the session

of the grand jury and wondering just

what is in store, whether the law

steps in and finds actual gambling or

whether it does not.

SHOWED HIS TICKET.

An Obliging Passenger and a Cranky Station Master. A cranky station master while examining tickets came across a cattle dealer, well known In the district, who held a season ticket. The station master, being aware of this, usually passed without troubling him to show it. On this occasion, however, he ordered him in a not very polite manner to produce it,'adding in a severe tone: "Mind, I want to see it every time you stop at this station." Of course the ticket was produced, and the official passed on, looking very Important and self satisfied. A few days later as the early morning mail train drew up at the platform at about 3 o'clock a passenger accosted the solitary porter on duty and asked peremptorily for the station master. "He's in bed, sir," replied the porter. "Tell him I want him," said the passenger. The porter disappeared and after some delay returned, closely followed by the station master, who was audibly grumbling at being brought out of bed in the cold. The latter then found himself confronted by his old friend the cattle dealer, who handed him his season ticket, politely asking him to examine it, at the same time reminding him that he had a few days ago expressed a wish to see it "every time he stopped at the station."
