POLITICAL DEBT PAID BY HAIIDIIIG HAST1UGS A JOB

Lake County Leader Rewarded by State Auditor for the Banner Republican Majority 1 Given. SAVED DEFEAT ENTIRE . REPUBLICAN TICKET Has the Can Been Attached to W. H. Quick? Well, Any- ' how, Harvey Cheney of Lafayette Has His Job. Special Correspondent. Indianapolis, March 23. Lake county republicans who did so well at the election last fall, by voting the foreigners "when they were badly needed, are to have recognition at the hands of the state republican organization, through the appointment of William J. Hastens, of Hammond, to a good place in the office of the auditor of state. Hastings is a thoroughly competent man for almost anything that the auditor may hand out to him, and while it will be paying a political debt for him' to appoint Hastings to a good job, he will at the same time be taking into his office a competent assistant. -( Was Banner County. Hastings was minute clerk in the senate at . the last session and he was a good one, too. ; He was appointed by Senator Bowser. It will be remembered that Lake county was the banner republican county of the state last year, rolling up a majority that made tht majorities in other counties look like lero marks. After the election it was charged by the defeated democrats that the big majority in Lake was due to illegal voting of Hunyaks and other foreigners, but the charge was never established so as to do them any good, for the threatened contests that they wre to make fizzled out. The de feated democratic state candidates said 1hey were going to upset the whole election by showing fraud in Lake county, but it finally turned out that If there was any questionable voting in that county and there does1 not seem to be any question but what there was plenty of it the democrats were as guilty, as the republicans. It was probably a standoff so far as intention was concerned, but - the republicans beat the democrats to it and voted more of the Hunyaks than the demo crats did. That was where they won out and carried the county by such a heivy figure. Result of Election. Mad It not been for this unusual maJot lty in Lake county, the democrats ttculd have carried every state office fit the election Instead of the three that they did get, for. the the rest of them were defeated by only small pluralities ranging from about 100 to a thousand. - A change of GOO or 0X votes in Lake county would have turned the election upside down. So the reason why, Lake county republicans are entitled to about anything they want to ask for is apparent. They saved what little the republicans saved out of the wreck, and they are entitled to their revard. Just what place will be picked out for Hastings is not yet known, because State Auditor Billheimer is out of the city for a few days, but Hastings is in the city ready to take hold as soon as Billheimer returns and makes known the place. But he is to ha're a job. . That is sure. r Cheney Slipped In. Another change in the auditor's office that is attracting attention is that by which Harvey C. Cheney, of Lafayette, takes the place of W. H. Quick, the settlement clerk. While Billheimer was out of town, yesterday, Cheney slipped into town and went to the auditor's office and1 sat down at Quick's desk. , Quick. was not there and did not come in, so Cheney staid. He said all he knew about it was that Billheimer telegraphed him- to come and report to Deputy Auditor John Reed. Jteed said all he knew about it was that he was to take Quick's place, but he did not know why. Whether Quick was removed or whether he resigned could not be learned. Causes Comment. Cheney Is an expert accountant and was appointed by Governor Hanly as the accountant in his office. Cheney Is a Hanly man out and out, and the fact that a strong Hanly man has been taken into the state house and given one of the best Jobs in the building has caused some comment. Some of the politicians who have talked about It aay they fear it means that Hanly is Kill to exercise influence in the state house, though it is not believed that Billheimer would make an appointment on the mere asking of Hanly. They have never "jibed" very well, especially since Hanly tried to have a separate insurance department created by the legislature two years ago so as to take that department out of the t lands of the auditor. It Is more than lively that Billheimer made his own Choice of Cheney, partly because he is tflne accountant and partly because e wished to do something for Tippe canoe county. vou not relolca on th Amwm fwbea your husband cornea home with this ealaryr "Kot at all," answered Mr. 8tlngyfcnb.

GEOnGE BURIIETT TO IIIOIMIAPOlIS Wanted There on a Cutting Scrape Charge.

George Burnett, alias Robert Woods, colored, who was arrested here yesterday afternoon upon orders from Indianapolis was returned to that city yesterday afternoon in company of Jacob Kurtz, city detective. - William Duerson, the companion of Burnett, when arrested, was released. Burnett was wanted on a charge of assault and battery with Intent to kill. DISPUTE TERM OF THE iCCOMIIT Law Silent as to How Long The New State Official Shall Serve. HE MAY SERVE FOUR YEARS LAW ALSO FAILS TO PROVIDE ANY CLAUSE FOR REMOVAL IN CASE OF NEGLECT OF HIS PUBLIC DUTIES. Special Corresponaenr. Indianapolis, March 23. Ai question has arisen here over the length of the term of the chief accountant who will be appointed by the governor under the new public accounting law. The law Is silent on the subject of the length of the term. It fixes the length of the term of the deputies at two years, but says nothing about the chief accountant. i It was evidently the pur pose of the legislature in passing the bill that the chief accountant should be appointed for two years, because all of the other appointments are specified for that length of time, but in the absence of anything definite on that subject it is more than likely that the chief accountant will hold until the end of the term of tht governor by whom he is appointed. That is, the man whom Governor Marshall will appoint will probably serve until the expiration of the term of Governor Marshall, and that he will be succeeded by some other appointee of the governor who follows. And. further, there is no provision in the law for the removal of a chief accountant. The law does not say a word on whether the governor shall have any right to remove him from office. Have to Be a Cause. Of course, the governor, has the right to remove any officer of the state for cause and he may do It summarily If he sees fit, and this will undoubtedly apply to the Chief accountant as well as to all others. But there would have to be a cause. In most cases where the governor has power to appoint an officer he has also the power to remove him, but In this case no such power is given the governor to remove without cause. Thes defects in- the law were not discovered until a day or two ago when Governor Marshall began, giving some attention to the question of whom he should appoint to the positions of Chief accountant and deputies. He has not made any announcement as yet as to who are to land these plums, but it is believed that he will have his mind made up in plenty of time. The new laws will be published about April 20, and the governor has sixty days from that time in which to make the appointments under the public accounting act WILLIAM GOLDEN III POLICE COURT Charged With Assault on Roy Babylon. William Golden, a former member of the police , department, was arraigned in city court this afternoon on the charge of assault and battery on Roy Babylon, the well known cigar salesman. Babylon claims he went into Golden's place Sunday morning to pay a bill. The former policeman told him to get out and then followed up his words by forcibly removing him from the premises.

SOME CRITICISM OF TARIFF BILL THOUGHT UNFAIR Maximum and Minimum System, Assailed by Many People, Provides the Best Kind Of Reciprocity. TREATY PLAN PROVED TO BE UTTER FAILURE

United States Has For a Long Time Been Given the Worst Of ltf While Rivals Are Benefited. Washington, D. C, March TS. There has been a good deal of criticism leveled against the new tariff bill because of the maximum and minimum duty, and yet a good deal of this criticism is based upon complete misinformation as to the actual working out of the new system. In the first place, it ought to be understood by every one that while the maximum and minimum system is new to America, it has been in successful operation in almost every country in Europe which has a protective system. The fact of the matter is, the United States has been behind the ,i times in this regard, and It has suffered a good deal because of its inability to meet discriminating tariffs of Euro pean. and other foreign nations. A number of years ago there was a general consensus of opinion among the oldest and wisest heads in congress that whenever the Dingley tar iff was revised it would be necessary to include a maximum and minimum system as the most practical form of reciprocity possible in a country which depends entirely on legislative action for its tariff scale. System Pledged by Party. The Republican .members of the ways and means committee of the house and the finance committee of the senate, including such tariff ex perts as the late Senator Allison of Iowa, were united in favor of this re form some time ago. The result was that the Republican national conven tion at Chicago last June pledged- the party practically without opposition not only to tariff reform and re vis ion, but to the enactment of a max! mum and minimum system. The bill as reported by the ways and means committee is therefore only a redemption of the party pledge, and it is in harmony with the advice and sugges tions of the most expert men in congress and in the government so far as the tariff is concerned. Many persons are afraid that the operation of the maximum tariff, as opposed to the minimum rate, will be to provoke retaliatory action by foreign countries. The fact of the matter Is that the maximum and minimum tariff system was framed for the ex press purpose of preventing retalia tion, and. if one can judge by the re sults in other countries, it will at least do that thing if it does nothing more. The chances are, within a short time after the enactment of our tariff bill every country with which we do business, or at least every country which sends us any considerable amount of goods, will be enjoying our minimum rate, because to do other wise would meant the cutting off of the American market - No Invitation for Tariff War. Ttkese minimum rates are not to be granted in return for any extraordin ary concession by any foreign coun try. On the contrary, minimum rates will go into effect automatically and without further action by congress or any one else, unless the president be comes satisfied that some country fails to give us the benefit of its minimum tariff rate. There is no invita tion for a tariff war, no threat, and no demand for any concession of any kind. The establishment of our maximum and minimum rates will be exactly the same as in France and Germany, and the operation In either direction will be automatic here, as it is there, ex cept that in this country the whole scheme is legislative while in Ger many and to a slight degree in France, the executive has some discretion in the way of applying the maximum and minimum rate. ' J Reciprocity, as It was understood by Blaine and by McKlnley, is best carri ed out in the maximum and minimum tariff system. Reciprocity by treaty has proved a complete failure and in point of fact invites discrimination ev ery time a treaty is made. Furthermore, It unsettles prices, because if our tariff duties are subject to In stant change through the negotiations of the state department no Importer would be certain what price to put on his goods except from day to day. and the making of contracts for a long fu ture delivery would practically be im possible. Hides In Ita Own Feather. It Is worthy of note that, although the prairie cock when in the lists Is a strikingly . conspicuous creature, he wears no adornment which cannot be concealed at a moment's notice. The sight of a passing hawk changes the grotesque, beplumed, beoranged bird Into an almost invisible ; squatting brownish lump, so uuickly can the feathers be dropped aad air sack deflated. With woodland birds, so great a changa is unnecessary, but the prairie hen can hide osJy under her own feathers Outing Magazine

T KELLY

WAS A WITNESS Takes Stand in the Hodgin Will Case. President R. L. Kelly, of Karlham College was on the witness stand for the defense in the Hodgin will case this morning. He testified to his business dealings with the late Prof. Hodgin, a member of the Karlham faculty, during his last illness. He said he did not regard him as being of a deranged mind. President Kelly explained in detail the assignment of an insurance policy to the college by Prof. Hodgin. In return for the $1,500 thus conveyed it was agreed that the two grandchildren of the professor were to receive an education at Earlham. CHARGE AGAINST NEGROES Claimed They Attempted to Commit a Holdup. Affidavits have been filed in the cir cuit court by Prosecutor Ladd, charging Michael Coleman and Jude Milton, two colored young men, with assault and battery with intent to commit rob bery. They are charged with an attempted holdup of Jacob Sego Saturday night. VEBY If III TRICK PUKED BY FATE Negro Visits White Woman And Police Watch a Card Game. VISIT A PROLONGED ONE IN FACT SO LONG THAT WHEN THE COPS RETURNED AT 4 A. M. THE VISITOR WAS STILL AT THE HOUSE. Fate played a mean trick on Charles Alexander and Nora Long last night. Alexander is aa Indianapolis negro, so black that a streak of charcoal would look like a chalk mark on him. Nora is the wife of Clarence Lone and resides at 300 South C street. She is a white woman. Officer,,-Vogelsoi has a tip that everything was not right at the Long home. He heard about a fight between Clarence and Nora and he and Officer Winter were sent down- to make an investigation They found there had been, trouble between the two. When the policemen arrived Alexander was there. Cops Peeped In. The patrolmen told Mrs. Long if her .husband returned and trouble"followed to call headquarters. The telephone numbef was given and Alexander wrote it down. After the officers left the house, they did not go far and re turned and eavesdropped. Charles told Nora be believed 6he was worried about Clarence. Nora said she was not as she didn't care a thing about that . Charles said he didn't know whether he ought to stay or not. Neither did Nora, so they decided to leave It to the cards. The deck was procured and the cards distributed. It was decided Charles should stay. Officers Snickered. Snickering on their coat sleeves the officers left the house. They returned about 4 o'clock this morning. They listened at a window and heard snores. The two burly forms leaned against the side door and the lock gave way. Vogelsong bounced into tiie room, just as the negro jumped from the bed partly undressed. The woman lay sleeping calmly, her clothes very much awry. Winter shook her violently before she was aroused. The two were permitted to complete their dressing and then were taken to jail. In city court this afternoon, they were charged with adultery. The woman plead guilty and Alexander "not guilty." There was a conviction in each case and fines of $25 and costs with sixty days in jail adder were imposed. It means 95 days behind the bars. A Kindred Feeling. Justice Harlan of the supreme court was on circuit in West Virginia some years ago, when there was tried before him a case in which principal counsel was a lawyer whose head was quite devoid of hair. The day was cold and damp aad the room in which the sitting was had was badly heated. It was not long before counsel had begun his argument that he said: "Tour honor, I must pause long enough to request that the window opposite be closed more tightly. X feel the draft on my head." 'The court sympathizes with you." solemnly assented Ur. Harlan. "The court has the same kind of a bead." New York World. "What do you think of dividing the day Into twenty-four hours? : "I think tt would be better if we could arrange to have nine or tea evenings to the week." replied the young ssan who was beginning to can steadily on one girt.

Counter Charge By Tucker to Wife's Suit far Divorce

TWO FACTIONS ARE QOIETLYJT WORK Both Muncie "Wets" and "Drys" Are Busy Circulating Petitions. BIG "DRY" RALLY TONIGHT LIBERALS ARE ANXIOUS TO HAVE DATE FOR ELECTION SET . BEFORE ARRIVAL OF EVANGE LIST SUNDAY. Muncie, Ind., March S3. Nothing of great Importance was revealed yester day in the developments looking to the inevitable county local option election in Delaware county. Both the anti-saloon forces and their opponents are putting on the finishing touches in the work of procuring signatures to their respective petitions. It Is stat ed that this week will mark the be ginning of the real fight between the factions. Both sides claim more than enough names to warrant the county commissioners fixing a date for the special election. The real Interest Is centered upon the time to be set for the election. The "wets" want it st before "Billy" Sunday, the great evangelist, comes to Muncie. They may be able to win their point by filing their petitions at the April term of the commissioners, which convenes a week from next Monday. The "drys" do not want the election set until after the evangelist's appearance ,here. The "wets" assert, however, that they will file their petitions at the April term which will bring the election about May 1. It would be useless then, for the anti-saloon forces to file their petitions. Both Leagues Busy. Both the taxpayers' league, or those business men and taxpayers who believe in a well regulated licensed saloon rather than the abolition of the traffic, and the Anti-Saloon Taxpayers' League, or that organization of the business men and taxpayers who believe the saloon to be a detriment to the welfare of Muncie and Delaware county, are busily engaged In completing their respective organizations. It is believed that the taxpayers league will be able to give out the number of names signed to the "wet" petition sometime today or tomorrow. The checking up and tabulating has been finished practically and the members of the league believe they will be able to tell exactly just how many signatures have been attached to their petitions. There will be a mass meeting of the Anti-Saloon Taxpayers' eLague of Delaware county at the First Baptist church this evening. This meeting is held in the interests of the AntiSaloon Taxpayers leagne movement inaugurated Thursday night. Plans for perfecting the organization will be discussed. Special music will be furnished by the Muncie Conservatory of Music orchestra and by Harry Paris and a male chorus. Speeches wjll be made by representative business men of the city and county. An invitation has been extended to all who are interested In the movement. Witness I saw a man with one eye named Wilklns. Lawyer What was the name of the ether eye?
