TARIFF LEAGUERS AT IHDIAIIAPOLIS THROUGHOUT WEEK

There Will Be Three Thousand Delegates Present Representing Millions Worth of Properties. EVERYSTATEWILL.BE WELL REPRESENTED Up to Date There Will Be 116 State and National Associations Have DelegatesGood Speakers. fnolanapolis, Feb. 13. Reports from All over the United States evidence tbat the national tariff commission convention, which assembles at Indianapolis on Feb. 16, will fully eaual in magnitude and exceed in scope of representation the great quadrennia . gatherings of the political parties. There will be more than 3,000 delegates, representing millions upon millions of capital. There will be avail able spokesmen for every single variety and kind of important manufacture in the country. Each of the forty-six states will send a forceful advocate. The hundred largest cities of the republic will also send special delegates. Congressmen, governors, state legislators, mayors and boards of aldermen will be among those in attendance. The National Association of Manufacturers, which is taking a leading part in bringing about the convention is In dally receipt of assurances that indicate a gain of nearly 200 congressmen in support of the commission project within the past ten months. A poll taken in March, 1908, showed but twenty representatives approved of the commission. The poll taken two weeks ego showed 198 congressmen in favor rf t'le plan and many of the re -.; : not against iff although ncr ti'iiHiiital. Ail Sort- and Conditions. .. ' High tariff men, low tariff men and no tariff men will attend the convention, x Even "stand patters" are expected to talk it over together, and nobody is to be barred. The National . Association of Manufacturers lays stress on the; fact, nevertheless, that it has never asked for a commission to be established with power to make rates. The association will urge through its delegates that only an ad visory or recommendatory commis- " sion be asked of congress. Ji. significant feature of the attendance will be the presence of dele gates representing fortunes made through old or present tariff systems, but who are willing that a commission should be created. Many will attend who believe there should be a higher tariff in connection with their particular manufacture but who believe the fixing of such tariff should be the work of a commission through recommendatory means. Many Associations. Up to date there will be 116 national and etate associations represented at the convention covering nearly that many different branches of manufacture. There will be vehicle, agricultural implement, cotton, tobacco, steel, ehoes, lumber, glass, clothing and in short every conceivable manufactured product of the United States affected by tariff. In addition to this specific representation, there will be chambers of commerce, boards of trade, civic federations and municipal associations devoted to reforms along Five Years of Heart Trouble Cured by Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy "Before I began taking Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy I had been suffering from heart trouble for over five years. I had pains in my left side, and under my shoulder blade, could not sleep on the left side, and was so short of breath the least exertion would bring on the most distressing palpitation. I had scarcely taken a half bottle of the Heart Remedy before I could see a ' marked change in my condition. When I had taken six bottles I .s cured." MRS. C. C. GORKEY, Northfield, Va. If there is fluttering or palpitation it is an indication of a weakness of the nerves and muscles of the heart. It is not necessarily diseased just weak from over-work. The heart may be weak just the same as the eyes, stomach or other organs. You can make a weak heart strong by taking Dr. Miles Heart Remedy. Get a bottle from your druggist, take it according to directions, and if it does not benefit he will return jrour. monc.

lines connected with tariff system change. A number of so-called "captains of Industry" will either attend or send formal Indorsement of ; the proposition to establish a commission. Andrew Carnegie and J. J. Hill have already signified their approval. .

PRECAUTION

Oliver Used Lemon Extract This, and Not Demon Rum, the Cause of Most of His Sprees Fountain City Charges in Denying Blind Tiger Story.

Fountain City, Ind.. Feb. 15. The charges made by Mrs. Oliver Frame In her suit for divorce, which casts the suspicion that this town isy harboring a blind tiger, is resented by Fountain City people. They indignantly deny that demon rum is illegally sold here. In Mrs. Frame's testimony she stated that her husband frequently got drunk on whisky and that he got his booze without going to Richmond for it. Fountain City people admit that they have seen Oliver under "the influence" but they state his condition COURT ROLES 0!) A CHICKEN CASE Bunch of Young Negro Boys Are Implicated in the "Fowl" Affair. CLIFFORD RYLE RELEASED JOHNSON APPEARS FOR MISSING MEMBER AND WILL PRODUCE HIM WHEN HE SEES WHAT ACTION IS TAKEN. When Judge Fox, of the Woyna circuit court, was assured this morning that Clifford Ryle, one of jthe colored boys implicated in the chicken shooting episode at the Hodgin farm had not dou any-real damage, he ordered Ryle's release. Arthur Sanders and Luther Grlgsby, two other members of the bunch, plead not guilty and are held for trial. These boys claim they had nothing to do with the affair, either. However somebody had a 'gun, three of which were secured and it is believed Sanders or Grlgsby had it. Grigsby had a ferret. Are Holding Suspect. The boys are all colored and seventeen years old. They were arrested after the flock of chickens on Mrs. Catharine Hodgin's farm had been raided and eight fowls shot. William Ryle, a man, is under arrest and believed to have been the leader iu the affair. The boys claim that Ryle brought about the slaughter of the chickens. Attorney Henry U. Johnson stated in court, he is appearing for the missing member of the gang, whose name is Wallace. Mr. Johnson informed the court that when he finds out what punishment is meted out to other members of the group, he will pro duce his client. The police are search ing for the missing member of the gang and up to the present have been unsuccessful. CARD GAME "LID" TILTED SUNDAY Several Games Were Operated in Various Up-Town Cigar Stores. PLAYED "JUST FOR FUN" MONTH'S ENFORCEMENT OF BLUE LAW, IT IS SAID, BENEFITED POKER JOINTS IN THE NEIGHBORING TOWNS. The Sunday closing laws affecting public card games was enforced just one month, as yesterday several games were operated in the cigar stores of the city. It is true that the-proprietors kept a careful watch on the movements of the police so no arrests resulted. It is claimed by the proprietors that the games were only for pleasure and no checks given the winners, or payments made by the losers. Whether the enforcement of this portion of the blue laws had a good effect during its short regime is problematical. It is said that during the brief "blue law" peiiod the alleged poker dens in neighboring towns have had several recruits and have done a flourishing Sunday business. It Is also said that within the boundaries of the city there were numerous private "sittings" on Sundays. Claim No Violation. Proprietors who opened the games yesterday declared that there was no violation of the law when their customers were allowed to play for pleas ure alone. They claim that the order of Chief Bailey was strictly against the game as it is usually played wherein the loser pays and the winners take the checks, good for a cigar apiece. The police were active yesterday in looking for card games, but for some reason each visit to the cigar stores wherein games were going on was very untimely. INQUEST CASE IS SET FOR SATURDAY The hearing of the petition for a sanity Inquest in the case of Dr. E. E. McDivitt has been set for Saturday. Dr.' McDivitt now is being cared for at the hospital. It is desired to remove

was never responsible to whisky that is unless he had just returned from a little pleasure trip to Richmond. It is openly charged that an unconquerable desire for lemon extract is the cause of the majority of Oliver's sprees. There is considerable amount of alcohol in lemon extract and. it is stated, he has been seen on several occasions to buy this liquid in grocery stores, empty the whole bottle and then either go into a trance or go out and have the time of his life.

FINE SKATING BUT VERY 00M WALKING Weather Man Plays a Sorry Trick on the Inhabitants Of Richmond. TRAINS WERE VERY LATE STREETS WERE SO VERY SLIPPERY THAT AT AN EARLY HOUR IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO USE HORSE8. Steam, interurban and street cars delayed, the sidewalks encrusted with a coat of ice, and the streets so slippery that horses were unable to gain a secure foothold, the city was ice boun i for sure this morning. Even the trees were loaded with a covering of the substance and their appearance was made more beautiful than is permitted by the bare branches. Rain fell almost continuously throughout yesterday and a part of Saturday night. As the result the river is higher today than it nas been lor almost a year. Good for Skaters. Walking was only accomplished with difficulty and at considerable risk The ice was smooth as glass and cement walks provided an excellent placa for the boys and girls with skates Many youngsters went to school on ice skates, who have been accustomed to make the trip on rollers. There has been very little skating on the river and ponds this winter and the 1.d and lasses are exceptionally glad of a chance to glide about on the sitle walks. Trains Were Late. Transportation facilities were crip pled. Railroad trains arrived in the city from one to four hours late and trainmen report great difficulty was encountered in pulling through at all. The rails were covered with ice. The traction cars had their troubles, but the city lines were almost paralyzed. The trolley wires were coated so hea vily with ice that it was almost lm possible to secure any power until the ice was broken off. The rails were slick and to open the lines it was ne cessary for the cars to advance a short distance, back and then advance again after the fashion of a snow plo bucking the drifts. SELLING TO MIIIOR WAS CHARGE MADE Bartender at Red Bead Saloon First Offender Since Option Election. PLEA NOT GUILTY IS MADE AFTER HEARING ALL THE EVI DENCE IN THE CASE, JUDGE CONVERSE ASSESSES A FINE OF $25 AND COSTS. Richmond liquor dealers now have the opportunity to redeem pre-election promises. Michael Smith, bartender at the "Red" Beat Saloon, 535 Main street, was fined $25 and costs in city court this afternoon for selling whisky to James Gee, colored, a minor. Smith plead not guilty. He professed not to know Gee and said he never had been him before. He declared he never would sell liquor to a young fellow like Gee. The evidence was all against Smith. Gee testified that he had paid 25 cents for the liquor anf after purchasing it had given it to Oran Schepman, white, a fourteen-year-old boy. He said he bought it for Schepman. Schepman's Story. Schepman said he took the liquor to the rear of the Quigiey drug store. Main and Fourth streets and drank some of it. Schepman said Clyde Bream and Frank Long were with him. Brehm testified that he tasted the liquor while Schepman held the bottle in Us hands. He said he did not drink much, because he did not like it as It burned his tongue. Schepman. who is known also as Oran Oesting, Brehm and Liong are members of the celebrated court house gang. . Gee was not prosecuted for giving liquor to a minor. Such a charge was considered by the authorities, but when he confessed and agreed to testi fy against Smith, he was released. Gee is employed at the Wilson black smith shop on North Sixth street. In court Smith displayed a haughty bearing that did not help him with the authorities. He laughed and blustered and claimed the entire ai-

Mr. Bryan began his record-break ing talk tour yesterday afternoon with an address to an audience of 2.000 men at the Third Presbyterian church, Ashland boulevard and Ogden avenue. Starts on Long Trail. An hour after he had finished he left Chicago for Des Moines. Iowa, where he is scheduled to do more talking. From Des Moines he will go to another city, where arrangements have been made for him to talk. And so the silver tongued orator of Nebraska will keep on traveling and talking at least four or five days out of every week and sometimes every day in the week throughout the spring and summer and until ,th snows of another winter have come. During 1909 Mr. Bryan will make nearly three times as many speeches as he did in the last presidential campaign. In the last few weeks he has signed contracts to make dosens ana dozens of speeches in places where he has never before appeared.

Taking up the objection frequently raised to foreign mission work, that there is enough for missionaries to do at home. Mr. Bryan said: "When that objection is made to me T ur that when the individual post pones extending help to any outside country he will wait indefinitely. We will never reach the time when there is nothing to do in the way of missionrw work in the country. If we are goimr to heln any othor country we will have to do it before we reach perfectinn ourselves. "Every effort that is put forth for the extension of Christianity in other l.nds helDS to strengthen us. We should not get Impatient with the forien missionary. He encounters many r-iiKtarlf. He is away from his family and friends. Here we have everything to encourage the ministers, and yet in this land two-thirds of the adult men are not regular attendants acnurcn. Hr men are skeptical and doubt ful where it seems almost impossible for a man to find excuse for not being a Christian. You needn't be surprised heathen find excuses." Mr. Bryan said the foreign missionary would never get the country Into trouble. "The man who goes abroad to get concessions to make money for himself Is far omre liable to get our country Into trouble." said he. "If one-tenth or the money spent for a battleship to fight imaginary foes was flevotea to eauiauus who come here and sending them back to teach Christian'ty we would do ourselves more good."
