IT A HARD TASK GET ACCDUdTAIlt
Ha Has Gone Over the State i With a Fine Tooth Comb, But Available Material Is Very Scarce.
THOSE OFFERED JOBS REFUSED POLITELY Several Indianapolis Men of Big Business Interests Tempted With the Bait, But Refused to Bite.
Indianapolis, .May 22. It begins to look like Governor Marshall, some of these fine days, will fee obliged to insert in the papers an advertisement something like this: ; Help Wanted Three good men, good at figures and good accountants. Must understand public business and know how to Install a system of public accounting that will insure honesty in office. Salary to one 14.000 and to the other two $3,000 a year. Apply to Thomas R. Marshall, Governor. Prospect Has Faded. ;," The governor needs a chief public accountant and two deputy accountants, and he has not yet been able to find them. - Not long ago he said he believed he would be able to get the men this week, but the prospect has faded. He will do well if he gets them next week. However, he hopes to have the selections made in time to announce the appointments before he leaves the city next week to be gone several days. , It has become known that he has offered the places to several men in the state and that in a majority of the cases they have turned down the offer. The positions were offered to W. C. Bobbs, James W. Noel. Hugh Daugherty and Evans Woollen, of this city, and all declined to take the places. These men are members of the merchants organization that framed the bill to create the department of public accounting which was ' passed by the legislature at that last session and they were constantly in attendance at all of the meetings of committees at which the bill was r ' red. They lobbied industrous -the passage of the bill and it w. largely to their efforts that the L... Waa .paased..:T.j,r'-,A r;,:,--i;';vr s.n ..;:; Would Raise Howl. The governor probably knew these tnen would decline the appointments when he made the offers, for it is not thought likely that he will put all Indianapolis men on the accounting board, this would raise a howl out In the state not that Governor Marshall would care anything t about a howl when he believed he was doing the right thing, but the howl would be Song and vociferous, Just the same. W. C. Bobbs, is president of the BobbsMerrtll company, book publishers; James W. Noel is one of the leading attorneys of the city; Hugh Daugherty formerly lived in Bluffton and was once a . candidate on the democratic ticket for treasurer of state and was talked of once for governor. . He is ttow president of the ; Marion Trust company, one of the largest financial institutions of this city. Evans Woollen is the general counsel for the American National bank. All are men of large affairs, and there would not be any reason In the world, from a financial standpoint, why either of them should give up his business to become a state accountant. However, this is the kind of men who- should compose the ! accounting board, for they are men of high grade and excellent business judgment A board Composed of such men would be an Ideal board. Hard to Find Right Men. Now that these men have all turned down the places it is a question lust where Governor Marshall will be able to find the right men to take the places. For a while it was believed that he would be compelled to import a. man from another .state . for. the' position of chief accountant, but it is believed that he still has on his list pf eligibles several Indiana men who will fill, the bill all right It Is said that he has practically decided on a man for the position of chief, but no Information on this subject is obtainable. f be man is said to be from outtide of Indianapolis. : There is a general Impression that the democratic deputy accountant will e W. M. Fogarty, democratic chairman of Marion county, who wiped out a , republican majority of . 7,000 and Banded Marshall the county by a democratic majority of more than 5,000. fent there Is no one outside of the korernor's office, so far aa can be learned, who will admit that he knows kothing about who will be the republican deputy.
HE HAD $90 STOLEN
' Joe Collins operating a saloon : on Ft. Wayne avenue, was robbed of approximately $90 yesterday morning by a "flunky" who opened up the place. The money was left laying on top of the safe all night in a sack and when the "flunky" whose name is unknown opened up this morning, he immediately vamoosed with the money.
EXPOSITION HOW BEADHO 0PEI1 Stands Today as Neat as a Flagship Dressed for Inspection.
SOUND OF HAMMER ABSENT
ALASKA-YUKON-PACIFIC EXPOSITION BY IT8 PREPAREDNE38 HAS BROKEN ALL RECORDS FOR AMERICAN SHOWS.
Seattle, Wash., May 22. The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition ; is today complete in construction and the entire exposition city stands as neat and trim as a flag-ship dressed for Inspection. The sound of hammer and saw is heard only in the enormous exhibit building where the work of booth and decoration work is being finished, and this will cease by the middle of May. Construction work has given way to installation of exhibits, and this is so completely systemized that it progresses with the regularity of clock work. There Is no waiting for display collections; all of the greater exhibits have been in Seattle for weeks and it is but a matter of small labor to place them in position. Justifies Claims. As the exposition stands, it completely justifies the claims and expectations of its builders. It is by far the most beautiful exposition yet built, and the nature of exhibits assembled make it the most interesting. The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition has not followed closely the prescribed lines of previous world's fairs. It differs to a marked extent in the grouping and architecture of its buildings, and the natural settings make possible many desirable features. In gathering the articles for exhibit there has been no attempt made to discover or develop freaks or deformities. No specimens other than representative products of the countries appearing have been selected for display, anJ the intention of comprehensively and honestly placing the important lands of the earth before the people has been faithfully and cleverly carried out. With our own rich territories of Alaska, Hawaii and the Philippines, the United States Government has taken direct charge of exploitation affairs, and the results show these countries in wonderful detail and clearness. The work of assembling the exhibits has been in charge of the most competent authorities on exposition affairs, and the exposition offers opportunities of studying these places ' more thoroughly, and understanding than could be gained by any way, other than a continued residence In the territories and islands. Good. Foreign Exhibit. Foreign countries have not selected their exhibits from the shelves of bazaars and shops as has generally been the custom, but have entered the competitive exhibits with the best the different lands have to offer. The entire exposition , presents 1 examples of the very best and a finest of the world's products in agriculture, manufacturers, horticulture, art and craft, minerals, forestry, fisheries and every individual product and resource of countries old in commerce and those lands whose wealth is newly being recognised. The Alaska-Yukon-Paciflc Exposition is not the largest exposition ever held, but it is one of the largest and it is the most valuable and instructive. In preparing for the enormous travel from the states of the middle west, the railroads have greatly increased their passenger facilities and the trans-continental lines are In position to handle quickly and comfortably the volume of summer travel " assured. The Rose Carnival held In Portland from June 7 to 13 and the National Irrigation Congress convening in Spokane August 9 to 14. afford additional attractions to Pacific Coast visitors.- Special days for states have, been, named and on these dates Interesting programs have been arranged, and the grounds will be in the hands of visitors from the states featured. Illinois Day has been set for August 5, Ohio Day September 24 and Indiana Day fails on August 7. v

oueein
His Views Expressed on Tariff Question Believed to Be a ' Direct Slap Taken at Senator Beveridge.
SENIOR SENATOR NOT TO BE HEADED OFF He Is Opposed to Features of The Tariff Bill and He Intends to Air His Views on The Subject.
Indianapolis, Ind., May 22. The publication in the Indianapolis News, yesterday, of a special telegram from its Washington correspondent, following so soon after the publication of a letter .written by Winfleld T. Durbin, of Anderson, former Governor, has attracted much attention, and is regarded here as exposing the true motive behind Durbin's letter. Durbin said In his letter that it was time for the speechmaking against the Aldrich tariff bill to cease. He said business interests over the country are suffering from the opposition that is being offered to the passage of the tariff bill, and that unless the speechmaking and oratory ceases soon so the bill can be passed, the party, in power will hear from the people at home In no uncertain manner. Not Headed Off. The Durbin letter was taken as a direct fling at Senator Beveridge, who is the leader of the Republican opposition to the standpat program of Senator Aldrich and the rest of the reactionaries. Senator Beveridge - has refused to be headed off in this fight, but has been throwing stones at the bill ever , since it was found that " it proposes to increase the tariff on nearly everything Instead of revising the. tariff downward, as was. promised by the party speakers on the stump during the campaign. From all over the state there comes the expression that Senator Beveridge is right, that he is squarely in line with what the people of Indiana want, and that he is making good. . . . ' . When Durbin's letter was published a few days ago the politicians began to look around for the real animus of the thing, and the dispatch from Washington, published in the Indianapolis News, yesterday, is being discussed in that light. The Washington dispatch was as follows: ,t Start "Back Fire V Those republican senators who are insisting that every item in the tariff bill shall be examined, and who maintain that while the republican party is about revising the .tariff it should do the work well, regardless of the time consumed, are feeling the pressure of the movement started in a systematic way to discourage prolonged consideration of the bill. These senators say they have evidence to sustain the charge that the "back fire" was started at the suggestion of beneficiaries of the protective system in the East, who feel that their safety lies in having the bill rushed through. Investigation made here indicates that in every , state represented by a republican senator who is showing an inquisitive turn of mind, a movement designed to discourage such a course has been organized at the suggestion of some one. Indiana, For Instance. Indiana affords a good example of what is being done. ? It is alleged here that persons in that state who are objecting to a careful consideration of the bill with the view of ultimately getting something for the consumer, were asked to undertake the work in which they "are now engaged. One of the surprises of the campaign was the discovery that a letter had been sent to every republican editor in the state, asking him to join in a protest against the course that is being pursued by the so-called insurgent republicans. Many of the editors have within the last two days forwarded copies of the letter to Washington, with notes saying they are In sympathy with the attempt to obtain an honest revision regardless of whether the work consumes one or six months. Also in Other States. The -same sort of letters, it is asserted here, have been sent to country editors in several other States, whose senators s are insisting on knowing what the tariff bill means. Apparently Senator Aldrich has hope that the "back-fire" campaign will prove effective. If he can only Influence the insurgent republicans to cease asking questions about the bill he will be happy. . He has enlisted the support of many of the democratic senators In his demand that the senate shall accept the work of his finance committee. So 'far, be la said, there is no indication that the progressive republicans intend to permit themselves to
be influenced by the last move of the "standpatters. ' The v information-seeking process will they say, be resorted to to the
end. They were saying today that the
way for Mr. Aldrich to get his bill through is for him to quit attempting to shot off honest inquiry.
