(Social, Correspondent.) ' Indianapolis., May 13. Whether the Marlon counts grand jury will do any better than the St. Joseph, county grand jury In investigating prize fights remains to be seen, but . it is working on the jobmd the prosecuting attorney says he "Will go the limit in presenting testimony to the grand Jury. V.v.'- ; ' Much surprise was shown in this city yesterday when it became known that the Rev. Joshua Stansfield, pastor' of the Meridtant Street Methodist church, the most aristocratic church in the city, had been summoned to appear before the grand Jury to testify. It became known that he was to be asked about prize fights, for several

months ago Mr. Stansfield and two or three other ministers, members of the Indianapolis Protestant Ministers associationattended a boxing contest in this city, for the purpose of satisfying themselves whether It was a boxing match or a prize fight 'They had been conducting a campaign against; the. fights that; were being pulled off in this city, but without effect, and they took this course to show that they; were in earnest They announced that they would be ready to testify if the grand jury wished to hear from them, but nothing was done along that line until in the last few days.,.:. - . , , . Knockouts Were Common. The fights that were formerly pulled off in this city were "dingers." A knockout was the common result, and they were usually; the real, thing. But this season -there have not been any knockouts. .Neither hat there been any decision in any of the bouts this season. They go ten rounds, or whatever number of rounds the bout is scheduled for, but the referee only takes the fighters out in the alley afterward and telle them which one was the winner. ; ' "When Governor Marshall wrote a letter to the prosecutor of St. Joseph and other counties Instructing them to investigate - the reports . of prize ftghts he wrote one also to Prosecutor . ttooton, of Marion county. That is why the grand jury is now looking into the matter. . Call Sporting Editors. Besides the Rev, Joshua Stansfield. the grand jury has called the sporting editors of the Indianapolis papers, and they all testified yesterday afternoon. What they, told the grand jury is. not known." but they i were all at all of the prise fights that have been held here, and it Is presumed that they gave the grand jury some valuable information Public sentiment in this city ia divided on ; the ; subject of boxing matches. The same element that is backing the dry liquor fight is behind the crusade against . boxing matches.

The same element has even tried to blot out the social evil in this, city, which, as all know, is the most dangerous but the most impossible of all to wipe out. The same element fought Sunday base ball and tried to prevent the passage of the Sunday base ball law by the legislature, and it Is now talking of attempting to break down the law in the courts by having it declared unconstitutional. Attempted Too Much. There are a good many persons here who believe sincerely that if this reform element had confined its labors to" one or two evils instead of trying to regulate everything at one and the same time,' It would have accomplished much in the reform line. But it has not. chosen to follow that plan, and the result is that the reformers have been defeated at every turn of the road. They have tried to cover too much territory, like the man who boasted that he could whip any man in the state. After he had been unmercifully walloped by a man .from a neighboring township he admitted that he had covered too much territory in his challenge.

LOCAL POSTOFFICE MEETSWITH FAVOR Hamilton, Ohio, Wants Some Improvements Mads. Minor changes will be recommended in the Hamilton federal building by Postmaster O. V. Parrish and his assistant,' H. Schell, who Inspected the local postofflce yesterday. f; The changes will be in accord , with those made here since the construction of the building. The Hamilton postofflce does a business approximating $80,000 a year, a considerable portion of which Is due to the fact that a distillery at that place does a land office business In "dry territory.

Richmond fared well at the state meeting of the Order of Owls at Muncie. This city was chosen for the convention of i(3xt year. James Braxton of the local nest was chosen president of the state organization. Charles Potter ahd Charles Shaffer, both of this city, were given offices. Potter was made sentinel and Shaffer a trustee. Reports Indicated the order is in a very flourishing condition. This city was chosen for the convention of next year by a majority of five votes over Anderson. Tlie Madison county seat's delegates put up a

strong bid for the convention but the

Richmondites were a little more suc

cessful vote getters. One of the first

items of business transacted was an

order to secede from the State Order

of Owls. The convention has become

Identified now with the Grand State American Order of Owls. The break

between the factions of the order follows the affair at Nashville which re

sulted in a national rupture. Officers Elected. The state officers elected are: .

PAPER ADVERTISING Merchants' Committee Meets And Endorses Publicity By the Press.

TRADING STAMPS RAPPED

At the meeting of the merchants committee 'of the Commercial club yesterday afternoon, discussion on matters pertaining to all kinds of ad

vertising was taken np, but owing to

the absence of one of the committeemen, no action was taken. However, the concensus of opinion among the merchants, and especially the committee, is that no more advertising should be given to program promoters; that merchants should discourage the use of "green trading stamps' and other like Ideas of advertisement, which, they allege, are a drain on their purses.
