TOMLlfiSOfl BILL WILL BE KILLED UNLESS CHANGED

Senate is Holding Measure up . Despite the Frantic Efforts of Its Supporters to Pass It. SEN. KIR KM AN CAME INTO THE LIMELIGHT Vhen Coup Is Attempted by Repealers Wayne County Man Frustrates it by Citing Senate Rules. Palladium Bureau, Indianapolis, March 1. If the -county option law Is repealed it will be necessary first to make a lot of changes In the Tomlinson bill, the repeal measure which is now before the senate. This bill has passed the house, but the senate" is holding it up in spite of the frantic efTort of the supporters of the measure to bring it to a. vote. Even the neat little scheme laid by the repealers last Saturday by which they hoped to advance-the bill to second reading failed, because the friends vt the local option law are on the alert and looking for such things to bob up. .Just before adjourning, Saturday, Senator Yarling, one of the democrats who have been counted as possibly voting against the repeal, made a motion that several bills bo advanced to engrossment all In a bunch. Coming from Senator Yarling the motion did not attract much attention for a moment from the republicans who were on the lookout for a liquor coup, but they soon discovered that the Tomlinson bill was Jn the action, and then the fireworks started. Senator Mattingly moved to adjourn. Kirkman Objected. Senator Kirkman objected to the Yarling motion because it was not the regular order of business. Kirkman pulled the rule book on the senate and showed that the senate cannot deviate from the regular order, of business without unanimous consent of the members. When he made h'is objer ction. Lieutenant Governor Hall ruled that his point of order was well taken. Had It not been for this action of Senator Kirkman the Tomlinson bill would probably have gone to engrossment unnoticed in the big batch of bills which Yarling' s motion 1 covered. The Importance of Kirkman's action may be seen In the fact that, mediately afterward a motion was made by Senator Stotsenburg to take up the consideration of the house bills at once. The Tomlinson bill was a house bill. It shows that the plan was well laid to rush the Tomlinson bill to passage when no one was. looking, but Kirkman was on the job and it is possible that his action saved the county option Jaw from repeal. Bland With Democrats. Senator Bland, the republican from Greene county, stood with the democrats on the proposition to send the bills to engrossment. He said later that he will vote for the Tomlinson bill when it comes on for passage. He has heretofore been considered doubtful. But the Tomlinson bill is not passed yet not by a good deal. Before it gets through, according to Senator Gonner man, one of the republican senators "who is In favor of repealing the county option law, it will have to be amended In two or three important features. In the first place he points out that to pass the Tomlinson bill would mere ly remove the liquor question from tate politics and put it into local pol itics. This, he says, can only be avoided by making the bill provide for a flat li cense fee instead of allowing a maxi mum and a miniumum. Would Remain in Game. . The bill says that the license fee in cities, for instance, shall be not less than $2fK and not more than $900, "which, together with the state license fee of $100 added would make the maximum -license a thousand dollars, But this senator pointed out that the 'breweries would, .remain in local polW tics and seek to control the city coun "ells so as to have the councils fix the 'license fee at the lowest possible figure. This, he said, would merely take the breweries out of the state politics and set them to work at controlling ity elections, and he is not in favor f this plan. ' He insists that whatever figure the license is fixed at it should he made definite so that there will be no opportunity for breweries to get itno city politics, elect a city council and have the license manipulated. To Limit Salons. 8enator Gonnermann also says that there should " be a reasonable limit placed on the number of saloons that are to be permitted under the law. He does not say so openly,' but it is believed that he favors saloons at the ratio of one for each 1,000 population Instead of for each 000, as the bill now provides. These two amendments Senator Gonnerman wil insist on before he will vote), to pass the-Tomllnson bill. He does not approve of the county option law, because, he.--savv it promotes (Continued on Page Three.) BOARD OF CHARITIES.

against a man in this city. Everybody knows Prof. Trueblood is honest and sincere and his integrity beyond question." Fair Play Demanded. Another attorney said he feels sure there is no member of the board of trustees, who would be narrow enough to consider seriously the request of the Dublin Quarterly meeting that a resignation be obtained. Still another attorney speaking on the subject said: "Simple tolerance demands fair play and the right of Professor Trueblood to think, speak and vote as he sees fit. "It was declared by another man in public life that Earlham stands to lose more than it can gain, if it takes any stringent action in the matter. It is a fact.nevertheless, that the subject is receiving serious consideration by some mebers of tie board of trustees of the institution The board does not have a regular meeting for some time, however, and it is not believed likely a special meeting will be called to consider the matter. It is believed that before the board holds its next meeting, the storm that is disturbing the surface of Earlham seas will have abated and no formal protest other than the resolution of the Dublin meeting is exepected. Traum Airs Views. In a public address at the Christian church yesterday afternoon, the Rev. S. W. Traum, pastor of the church, refrred to the attitude of Prof. Trueblood and saw fit to criticise. He refered also to The Palladium , as having attemted a defenseof Prof. Trueblood. The Rev. Traum went behind the Issue and advanced the statement by inuendo that Prof. Trueblood favors the liquor traffic. - Answer is made to this charge in Prof. Trueblood's statement. After expresing his feelings and comment, the minister added as reply to the assertion Prof. Trueblood had voted according to his conscience: "God pity the man with such a depraved conscience." Want Him Retained. A resolution was circulated among the students of Earlham college this morning, which asks that Prof. Trueblood be retained. The resolution will be presented to the board of trustees as a petition after the signatures are obtained. The resolution protests against any action on the part of the board of trustees looking toward the request of Prof. Trueblood's resignation. Reference is made to the resolution of the Dublin Quarterly Meeting and the opinion is expresed that the resolution eminated because of lack of knowledge of facts. The students express their belief in the professor's iuntegrity and declare his resignation would be an irreparable calamity and a reflection on the standing of the college. President Kelly said the resolution of the Dublin meeting will be referred to the trustees at the proper time. He stated the board is composed of broad-minded men" and intimated that there is little likelihood of any action being taken.

It is likely that Mrs. Taft will ride from the capitol to the white house with the new president after he has taken the oath of office.

Mr. Roosevelt, however, has announced that he would go at once to the railroad station and take the train for his home. From morning church services at the Unitarian church of which he is a member Mr. Taft Sunday went to the white house, where an hour was spent with President Roosevelt in going ov er that portion of Mr. Taft's inaugu ral address which discusses what is to be his policy respecting the foreign relations of the country. Mr. Taft said that no material changes, if any, would be made in the address as the result of the conference. He added that he had previously gone over the whole document with Mr. Roosevelt.

IMPLICATED GREAT FRAUD Robert E. Scott Arrested by United States Secret Service Men at Anderson for Counterfeiting. ARGENTINE OFFICIAL IMPLICATED BY HIM Sheds Light on Conspiracy to Flood the South American Republic with Fraudulent Bank Notes. f Robert E. Scott, formerly of this city, was arrested Saturday at Anderson by United States officials, charged with being a party to a counterfeiting plot to defraud the Republic of Argentina, South America. He is now in the Marion county jail awaiting trial. Ie has confessed as to his share in the work and implicates a prominent Argentina Republic official as being at the bottom of the affair. None of the local Scotts claimed any relationship with Robert Scott. How ever several prominent citizens, when asked this morning whether they knew him stated that they remembered him and that he formerly lived in West Richmond. These persons stated Scott went to South America and became interested in mining in Bolivia, but further than this they bad heard nothing regarding him. An Indianapolis dispatch says: Will Prove Scandal. A counterfeiting plot alleged to in volve a prominent government official of Argentine was disclosed Saturday by the arrest of Robert E. Scott by Lawrence Richey and Capt. Thomas E. Halls of the United States Secret Service. Scott was arrested in Anderson, where he had decided to do his work, and in his possession were found photographic plates and prints of several Argentine bank notes. The pris oner made a full confession of his pavt jn the plot and divulged information which may lead to the arrest of the man who was his undoing. Scott was given a hearing before United States Com missioner Moores Saturday afternoon, where he pleaded guilty and was bound over to the Federal grand jury under bond of $5,000. The machinery of the secret service department Is now in motion to bring about the arrest of other men connected with the plot. It is understood that ever since Feb. 22 the department has been in communication with the au thorities of Argentina and the official who is alleged to have promised Scott $40,000 for engraved plates of the notes will be arrested immediately. The de partment also expected last night to make the arrest of a Chicago photog rapher whose services Scott procured in making negatives of the notes. Scott told the names of the Argentina official and the photographer, but the officers would not disclose them. Has Water-Marked Paper. Scott's confession to the officers yesterday afternoon outlined a skillful sys tem by which the republic was to be the loser of many thousands of dollars. Scott is a shareholder in a copper mine at La Fontana, Bolivia, and had spent several years in South America. He told theofficers that among the friends he had made there was an official occupying a prominent place in the gov ernment and, in a position to handle a great deal of the country's money. In this manipulation Scott said that the official had secreted enough of the water-marked paper from which the republic makes its bank notes to make many thousands of dollars' worth of bills, but that he was afraid to have the plates engraved in the republic. Scott is said to have met the official in Buenos Aires, where the official took Scott into his confidence and asked for his assistance in obtaining the plates. He offered Scott $40,000 if he would have engraved and turn over to him plates of several different Argentina notes which were to be used in print ing the government paper already hid den. O encaount of the dangers of detection in the republic, Scott decided to bring genuine notes to the United States and have the engraving done here. He left the republic last Septem ber and has been laying his plans since that time. He spent some time in San Francisco, Chicago and other cities b fore he picked out Anderson as his place of operation. Richmond and Charles Drake. Ft Wayne: for state organizer, Walter J.

SCOLDS EQR HOUR

Judge Converse Tells Travel ing Man the Evils of Booze Fighting. FOUND DRUNK IN ALLEY Judge Converse took about an hour of his time during the police court this noon to lecture Louis Campbell, a sales man, about the evils of liquor and after he had completed his lecture, he turned Campbell loose, although this was not the first time the defendant had ap peared before the court. Campbell was found Saturday by McManus and Roberts, in the Thurman saloon. South Eighth street, with his head between two whiskey barrels. However, he did not secure his liquor at Thurman's as Thurman was the one who summoned the police. An order was issued by Campbell's daughter, warning all saloon keepers not to sell liquor to her father. Where Campbell got the li quor is not known to th police. 10 MAKE IIS HEPQRT Y. M. B. C. Municipal Commit tee Has Completed Making Investigatio. .1 SUBMIT FINDINGS MARCH $ At the meeting of Y. M. B. C. Tuesday evening March 9, the committee work ing on the municipal code of Rich mond, estimating the expenditures of the city for the past six years, will make a report. Secretary E. H. Harris of the club has compiled the information but cannot make it public until the club acts on the report. It is understood that the report contains much information of a somewhat startling nature and, it is said, may blast the hopes of certain prospective mayorality candidates. The committee having in charge the matter of determing the feasibility of selling the front part cf the Glen and purchasing 58 acres ad ditional to the east will report. A report wil also be made on the matter of organizing a city band of 40 pieces. HICH0LS0 IS ILL Prominent Citizen Suddenly Attacked by Erysipelas and Confined to Home. IS IN SERIOUS CONDITION Timothy Nicholson, one of the best known citizens of Richmond, is seriously ill at his home on South Twelfth street as the result of an attack of erysipelas, of the face. Mr. Nicholson's condition is such that visitors are not allowed to see him. He was taken ill Saturday night. He is eighty years old, a prominent merchant, reading clerk of the Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends, a trustee of Earlham college and prominent in Tnany other ways. s HICCOUGHS. .. V A Simple Treatment by Which They May Be Cured. Did yon ever take nine swallows of water to cure the hiccoughs? Do you remember the time some one scared the hiccoughs away by telling you of a whipping due for some meanness? .Well, science has been studying hic coughs and caught the hiccoughs by the "nape of the neck." The nine swallows of water had a little science in It, and so did the scare cure. The scientific hiccough cure consists in pressing down to numbness the nerve that connects the stomach, heart, lungs and brain, the pneumcgastrlc nerve. The , pressure partially and locally paralyzes this nerve and of necessity the hiccoughing must cease. Have the hiccoughing patient sit down and be at ease, with the muscles of the neck relaxed as much as possi ble. Grasp both sides of the neck somewhat toward the back part and press down steadily and as bard as the subject may permit for about one min nte, having the patient work the head from side to side. Within about one minute the nerve will be numbed and rested, and the spasmodic motion will cease. It may require longer pressure in some cases, bat the result is sure if patience is maintained. Ohio State Journal. A Thirteenth Century Drink. . Thirteenth century tastes in food had few limitations. Besides the "fowl of Africa and the rare gadwit of Ionia mentioned by Fitzstephen, gourmets in the time of King John used to regale themselves on herons, cranes, crows, storks, cormorants and bitterns. Some would . wash their meals down with wine, bnt the ma jorlty drank mead or metbeglin. Mead, according to HoUnshed, was only the washing of the combs after the honey had been taken from them and so poor a beverage that it had to be spiced. peppered or made palatable with sweetbrier or thyme. Bat metheglln contained one hundredweight of honey to twenty-four gallons of water and most have been much mora intoxicat ing than the strongest old ale of the present day. London Chronicle. .

FRUSTRATE COUP BY OBJECTION OF SENATOR DURRE Republicans Failed in Effort to Take Advantage of Absence of Democrats in Caucus of Senate.

SPRINGER WANTED TO KILL TOMLINSON BILL Stormy Scene Followed and Democrats Rushed in from Caucus Shouting Aloud Their Objections. Palladium Bureau, Indianapolis, Mar. 1. fAn attempt by friends of the local option bill to spoil all chances for a repeal of the measure were nlpred in the bud this afternoon. The democrats of the senate held a caucus and while all but Senators Tilden and McCarthy were in attendance, friends of the present law became busy. Senator Springer moved that further consideration of the Tomlinson bill be indefinitely postponed. If the motion had prevailed chances of the repeal would . have been effectually preventSenator Rurre, of Evansville, a republican raised an objection and the question could not be put. A stormy scene followed and two or three dem ocrats rushed in from the caucus to prevent any further manipulation of the rules or advantage being taken. Because of the act of Senator Durre the coup proved a failure. In caucus the democratic senators except Tilden and McCarthy pledged themselves to the support of the Tom linson bill. If all remain by their caucus pledges, it is probable that the Tomlinson bill will have a fair chance for passage, provided the re publicans continue in their present position. McCarthy and Tilden cannot be expected to line up for repeal, as provided for by the Tomlinson bill. FILE REMONSTRANCE Genter Township People Take Action to Bar Saloons from Community. THERE WAS NO APPLICANT Although there was no applicant for a license to sell liquor in Center township this morning, the county commissioners received a remon strance against the sale of intoxl cants in the township. The remon strance was accepted and for at least two more years the township will be without saloons. It bad been reported Hhat Robert Culbertson had intend ed to apply for a license. The remon strance had 345 signers. The remonstrance was prepared un der the new law regarding the power of attorney as applied to the signa tures to remonstrances. The old re monstrance, which has expired was prepared under the old law. A slight change has been made in the statute, The remonstrance was accompanied by the required affidavits as to the validity of the signatures. SEND OUT MESSAGES Ministers Congratulate Gov ernor Marshall and Senator Kirkman. ASK WOODS' ASSISTANCE A congratulatory message was sent to Senator Roscoe E. Kirkman today by the Ministerial association for his stand against the introduction of the option repeal bill in the senate. A telegram was sent to Governor Marsh all endorsed his action on the Sunday base ball bilL A message was sent to Senator Wood, one of the republicans who stated that he wonld be for the repeal of the county local option law provided the state went demo cratic asking him not to be antagonls tic to the law and allow the people to decide for themselves whether the law is productive of benefit. The Boycott Question. The subject of the boycott against the Richmond merchants was brought up by the association but no action tak en. It is probable that action will be taken at the next meeting. Rev. O. S. Harrison read a paper, "If I Published a Newspaper." It was of a humorous nature. , CASE CONTINUED.

Youth's Companion, THE COBRA STONE A Ceylon Story About the Reptile an t Its shining Lure. Every one knows that Ceylon Is famous for tbe amount of queer and rare precious stones found in the sands of its dried up river beds. Among these Is one called "chloroohane." a rare va riety of fluor spar, which shines at iSjlght with phosphorescent light. There uas long ueen a trauiuou among ice a. m a - a a natives that a certain species or coora makes use of this stone to attract in sects in ioe uarsuess. icaeeu, me name given it la "naja-kaller," or cobra stone.- A scientist resolved to test this wonderful story during a stay In ' tbe island, eo offered any cooly 5 ru-, pees to point oat a stone carrying cobra. In about a week an old Tamil -came in and offered to show him one. ! He followed this guide, and, sure enough, there, under an Immense tama-j rind tree, be saw a little point of steady : greenish light and could faintly dlstin-! gulsh behind a cobra coiled and slowly waving its head from side to side. It would have been desperately dangerous , to approach tbe reptile,' and the cooly, begged him not to do so, saying that ' next night he would himself get the stone. He did so. and in rather clever lasuiuu. nerore anrt uc vuuiuvu uu the tree, carrying a large bag of ashes. After nightfall the cobra turned up. as ' usual, and deposited its treasure, which it carried in its mouth, before it Thereupon tbe cooly emptied his bag of ashes over the shining object, and the frightened reptile after a wild bat fruitless search crept back Into tbe jungle. The cooly descended, searched tbe ashes, found the stone and received his promised reward. London Telegraph. . Scotland's Patron Saint. Why was St. Andrew chosen as tee patron saint of Scotland?
