cosomi now SfILL DISTURBS STATE LEADERS

Although Two Courts Have Ruled on the Case It Is Still As Much in the Air as It Ever Was. RULINGS RENDERED ARE-VERY PECULIAR Republican Judge Rules for , Republican Appointee, Democratic Judge for Democratic Appointee. Indianapolis. 'June 9. -The question of who shall appoint the custodian of too suxe nouse is up in iob sir jubi far as ever, although two courts have decided the question. One court decided one way and the . other court took fjust the opposite view and gave adlnsctlytcontrary decision. It Is a remarkable coincident that a, democratic judge decided in favor flf the democrats and a republican Judge decided in favor of the republicans. Both- cases will now go to the supreme court for final determination. Marshall's Position., Soon after Governor Marshall became governor be took the position: that be had the power to appoint the custodian of the state house. He said this formerly was the law, and that in 1895 the legislature passed an act Placing the appointive power in the hands of a commission composed of the governor, the auditor of state and the secretary of state, but that Governor Matthews vetoed the bill. It is a matter of history that Governor Mitthews did veto the bill and that when his secretary, Myron Ef. King, started to deliver the veto to the house he was set upon by a mob In the corridors of the state house and prevented from reaching the speakers' stand in the house until after the house had adjourned sine die. In the fight some one took the bill and the veto away from King and threw them into the .fire in the grate in the house and they were destroyed. When it came time to print the acts of the legislature of 1895 in book form after the close of the session it is said the secretary of state had to use a oopy of the bill as it was printed before it was passed. '---' Was Not Legal. Governor Marshall says' this was not legal and that since the constitution requires the clerk of the house to deposit with the secretary of state the enrolled act as passed by the two houses and signed by the officers of the two houses, no other copy would do. He holds therefore that the 1895 act never was in force. He pointed out also that all governors since that time acted under the old law and made appointments of custodians. Sims and Billheimer took issue with the governor in this matter, and refused to agree with him that he should make the appointment. They claimed that the appointment should be made by the commission. If the governor made the appointment the custodian would be a democrat. If the commission made the appointment the custodian would be a republican, for Sims and Billheimer are republicans. Appoints Colbert. -But Governor Marshall went ahead and appointed Thomas P. Colbert, of this city, as custodian, and Colbert made demand for the keys, but O. A. .Baker, the then custodian, refused to give them , up. . . Then Sims and Billheimer appointed Charles Wheeler, of . .a ... . uuraonue, .uiwrioiu. gi ue repUDllcan committee of Hamilton county, and Baker, turned the keys over to him. Then Colbert sued Wheeler for possession. Colbert , also appointed Michael H. Cain, of this city, as state hoase engineer. Cain made demand on Samuel Shutt for possession of the office and Shutt refused to give up. Then Wheeler appointed Shutt for another term and Cain sued for possession. - The engineer case was decided by Judge Remster, democrat, judge of the Marion circuit court, in favor of Cain. The custodian case was decided by Judge Carter, republican, of the Marion couy superior court. Of course, both cases will go to the supreme court, and in the meantime Wheeler and Shutt will hold the offices. In giving his decision Judge Carter said he could not take notice of rumors that a riot had occurred at the state house which prevented Governor Matthews' secretary from delivering Use veto to the house.

When Johnson Saw a Yarn Spun

Samuel Blythe, who is responsible for the "Who 'Who And Why," page of the Saturday Evening Post, has the following tale in the current issue of that publication, which implicates Fred Bates Johnson, formerly of this city and son of B. B. Johnson, a member of the board of public works: "Fred ..W Bates I Johnson, who has charge of the course of journalism at Indiana State ; - University, and who was a star reporter on the Indianapolis News for a number of years, went to Chicago for the first time during the World's fair. He had never been to a theater but decided to go one night, and went with a boy friend. They had their supper early and went to the theater shortly after seven, before the doors were open." "As soon as they could, they got tickets and went in. There was nobody in the house. ; They sat in the dark for a time, wondering what was going to happen. Then the lights were turned up and they saw the curtain. PROMINENT FAMILY TO HOLD REUNION Reid-Dougan Family Will Probably Meet Here Some Time This Summer. ARE NOTED FINANCIERS AT LEAST TWO MEMBERS ARE IN THE MILLIONAIRE CLASS AND ANOTHER IS A VERY WEALTHY MAN. Dr. David Dougan, of Denver, Colo., who has Just returned to this country from a trip around the world, is the guest of his brother John Dougan of this city. His wife is also visiting relatives in this city. In the near future a reunion of the Dougan-Reid families will be held here. Daniel G. Reid, of New York formerly -of this city. Dr. William Dougan of Michigan and other relatives' now living in other parts of the United States are expected to be here. Dr. David Dougan is another Rich mond man who has become one of the ten thousand millionaires of this country. He was one of the principal stockholders of the National Bank of Commerce of Denver, which was recently sold for more than a million dollars. " ; Famed as Financiers. This family is especially illustrious for the fame which it has achieved in the financial world. Daniel G. Reid one of the wealthiest men in the United States, stands at the head of the family as a financier, but other members of the family including John Dougan of this city. Will Dougan of Michigan and Dr. David Dougan of Denver have attained considerable wealth. Isaac and George Dougan of this city are also comfortably fixed. The history of these men. all of whom were born and reared near this city, is very interesting and familiar to nearly every citizen. At the reunion of this family the scenes of their boyhood will be visited and no doubt their experiences of this same period will be retold. According to the last word received from Mr. Reid, he may not be able to be here, but will make every 'effort to attend. CORRECT SPELLING. There Was a Time When It Was Net . Considered Important. The art of spelling words correctly is ,of comparatively recent repute. Time was when men and women did not care,, but wrote ahead without regard to strict orthography. Mme. de 8evlgne, for instance, never , learned the proper way to write her name, while it was remarked by Mme. de Maintenon that at the College of St. Cyr much precious time was wasted in learning how to spell. It remained, however, for the Empress Sugeaie in 1808 at Compiegne to put to a practical test the spelling standard which obtained even among the highest literary authorities. Thus under the pretext of a theme proposed to them for sn examination a number of French acadesaiclsns took down from dictation a cocsnesltion by Prosper Merimee. Net ene "immortal" wrote without mistake. As to the empress, she could not understand so many faults being made until It was conveyed to her that she herself from the same dictation was responsible for no less than ninety. The emperor, again, made sixty. It Is but fair to add, however, that the dictation was compiled expressly with, a view to focusing the difficulties not only of spelling, but grammar. Harper's Weekly.

"'Huh,' said JoKnson, 'that music Isnt helping it any. I've seen all the pictures I want for the rest of my life. Lets go out on the street, where there is something doing.

STAGG HAS MANY ENTRIES Oil FILE Big High School Meet at Chicago University Is a Record Breaker. SEVEN HUNDRED ATHLETES THESE LADS ARE THE CREAM OF THE HIGH SCHOOL TRACK AND FIELD MEN OF THE CENTRAL STATES. Chicago, 111., June 9. Over seven hundred entries, representing high school teams from all sections of the country from the Alleghenies to the Pacific coast, have already been received by Coach Stagg for his annual university of Chicago interscholastic track meet, to be held on Marshall Field next Saturday. Each mail is bringing in large increases in the number of entries, and the record of last year's meet, which made the high water mark in the number of athletes taking part, has already been reached. . Many Point Winners. Practically all the point winners in the high school meets given by the other big western universities have entered in the Maroon affair. Coach Stagg's interscholastic, as the last and most far-reaching, being considered the climax of the season in the high school athletic world. The team that will travel farthest in the attempt to carry off first honors in prep school athletics will come from Broadway high school, Seattle Washington. The east will be represented by the team from Mercersburg academy which comes from Mercersburg, Pennsylvania. , Ten other states, Michigan, Wisconsin, Missouri, Minnesota. Nebraska, Indiana, Iowa, and Ohio, will each be represented by a large number of teams. Preparations .are still going forward for an elaborate program of entertainment for the high school lads. Friday evening there will be a trip to Chicago's . great amusement park, White City, and later in the same evening the guests will be taken to the Junior Prom, the annual formal' of the university. Saturday morning there will be an automobile ride through the city, and an open house reception at the different fraternity houses. Following the meet in the afternoon, the huge banquet will be held.

JUDGE CONSIDERATE He Will Not Call Upon Petit Jury Any More Than Necessary. RAIN HURTS THE FARMERS Judge Fox is not going to bother the members of the petit jury for service any more than is absolutely necessary. As the consequence some cases in which a trial by jury was to be asked will have to be continued or the lawyers consent that they be heard by the court. The judge says the heavy rains nave put the work of farmers back so far that it would be a shame to require them to give their time to jury service just now. Nearly all members of the jury reside on a farm. One case requiring a jury has been set for trial June 17. It will be the only one heard, however, and the Leourt has said he will demand that the attorneys hurry through. The jury certainly will rejoice at the judge's decision. Ths Earth's Shadow.

AMERICA TAKES STEPS TO CHECK BIG REVOLUTION

Secret Service Men Are Acting to Check Gigantic Plot To Overthrow President of Venezuela. ,.l wnr AGENTS ARE TRYING v TO SMUGGLE OUT ARMS It Is Said It Is Planned to Rush Castro From Spain as Soon as the Revolt Is Underway. New York. June 9. To frustrate a gigantic plot for ; the overthrow of President Gomez of Venezuela and an uprising in the interests of Ciaprano Castro, the former president, which has been financed with $1,000,000 and in pursuance of which an attempt is being made to smuggle 31,000 rifles from this country into the South American Republic, United States secret service men, beaded by Chief John E. Wllkie, are searching for the leaders here. The secret service agents were started to work at the instigation of the diplomatic representatives of Venezuela, the operations of the revisionists being directed from this country and details being worked out in various cities here. Every effort is being made to head off the proposed filibustering expedition from this coun try. , Castro in Spain. Former President Castro is now la Santander Spain. It is the plan.' it is asserted, to rush him to Venezuela as soon as the uprising is well under way. Recently, it has just been learned. 31,000 Mauser rifles were shipped to New York from Belgium. From this city they were re-shipped to St. Louis. The secret service men are now trying to trace these arms. Early last Sunday morning a steam ship, recently purchased by unnamed persons from the Southern Steamboat company, quietly left a secluded port on the North Carolina coast, after its crow had talked mysteriously of an intended voyage to Venezuela. Takes Arms Abroad. A few days prior to that time an other and smaller craft recently ac quired here from a large railroad company, steamed from a North River pier ostensibly to meet the larger vessel. Additional men were carried by this craft to Join the crew of the oth er ship. These vessels, it is believed. have been directed to endeavor to take aboard tht arms imported from Birmingham at some southern port, probably near New Orleans or Mobile. Two weeks ago a large local export ing firm sent a large shipment to Venezuela by two lines which ply reg ularly to that republic's ports. Secret service men have taken up an investigation of the manifests and bills of lading covering these shipments in an effort to ascertain whether they could have embraced supplies that would aid tbe intending revolutionists. Close watch also is being kept at Southern ports, and the re-shipment of those imported rifles to St. Louis is being traced. It Is taken as significant that Senor Oarbiras Guzman, the last of Castro's secretaries-general and formerly the Venezuelan charge d'affaires at Washington under that regime, who was exiled by President Gomez, has been active in New York city. Notorious Women Gamblers. One of the most notorious female gamblers of the eighteenth century was Miss Pel ham. the daughter of tbe English prime minister. She not only ruined herself at cards, .but would have beggared her sister Mary as well had not their friends intervened and Insisted on tbe sisters separating. Horace Walpole gives a pitiful account of "poor Miss Pelbam sitting up all night at the club without a woman, losing hundreds a nlgbt and her temper, beating her head and making n scene before the young men and the waiters." Another writer says that the unhappy woman often played cards with the tears streaming down her cheeks. Lady Mary Cempton. an old maiden lady, a contemporary of Miss Pelham and, like her, addicted to gambling, had the . same . propensity to tears. When she lost, we are told, she wept bitterly "not for the loss itself. she was careful to explain, "but for tbe unklndness of the cards." A Bank of Brides. . Simla, the summer capital of the Indian empire, is a pretty pine treed place well up in the foothills of tbe Himalayas. A feature of Simla life is the annual fair held by tbe native hills people, an attractive item of which is a "bank of brides" la an amphitheater, where sit numbers of young women who thus calmly announce that they are candidates for hymeneal honors. Some of these aspirants to matrimony so patiently awaiting a choosing are quite pretty and have Intelligent faces, but those of Mongol caste must needs linger long tor a partner If personal beauty enters Into tbe equation.

High Hats Worn by Causing ' Chicago, June 9. Women's hats are so high that awnings must be raised eight feet from the sidewalk to avoid wrecks. Men on dress parade with their old silk stovepipe hats can do very nicely with seven feet of space, but modern millinery has gone skyward. So there's trouble brewing for the city council. Business men want their windows shaded. Women want their hats protected. The air is free, they say, and they don't want it obstructed. "It was bad enough when the Merry Widows first came into fashion, 6aid Alderman Anton Cermak, father of the bill to limit the size of women's headgear. ."But this is too much." FOUNDRY COMPAUY Local Men Have About Completed Organization of New Concern. WILL FILL A GREAT WANT WILL MAKE ALL GRAY CA8TING8 WHICH LOCAL CONCERN8 NOW HAVE TO HAVE MADE OUTSIDE OF THE CITY. A proposition is on foot among local capitalists for the organization of a stock company for the purpose of manufacturing gray iron castings. Those interested expect within a short time to have the organization completed. A number of the local manufacturing firms are encouraging the company to proceed with the venture, as they have to send their extra work out of the city owing to the limited foundry facilities In their own shops. One of those interested stated this morning that it is probable the capital stock would be $75,000 and the working capacity of the plant, 30 tons per day. At the start the promoters expect enough work from the local concerns to employ in the neighborhood of 50 men, most of whom will be skilled moulders. It will also be necessary to employ a few. patent makers and a small number of unskilled laborers. BeallView a Bidder. Beallview will probably be selected a9 the site for the location of the foundry. The directors of the South Side Improvement association are angling for Its location there and have offered excellent inducements. - ' The size of the foundry will probably be 75 by 250 feet, and there will be other necessary buildings, all of which will be of brick construction and most modern in arrangement and equipment. - According to the present plans the company will handle only gray iron castings and later, probably, make arrangements for .-' handling malleable iron castings made out of the city, but the list of those having their gray iron castings made elsewhere is quite large. There is not a factory in the city with sufficient foundry space to satisfy its demands at all times of the year. A large amount of this work is made at Marion and other points in the gas belt. The additional cost of shipping the material to this city makes this arrangement somewhat unsatisfactory. Would Be a Success. Statistics as to the number of castings usually made out of this city have been obtained by the promoters of the new industry. These figures are much larger than the dtlsens unacquainted with the facts would imagine and assure the promoters that If thy can secure this trade, their industry win be a decided success. From the encouragement received from local concerns, ttultSs9rBsBB0t MOrsre this trade. Xs

Tbe Geo. E. the Women Trouble in Council Telephone calls to the mayor for a week past preceded the presentation of an innocent looking ordinance to require awnings to be raised. "Milliners," say the councilmen. "Our rights" say the women. "Where do we come in?" protest the merchants who pay for the awnings and want their windows shaded. But so it Uands with the ordinance now before the judiciary committee of the council. Will it pass? No one knows, for the big batted lobby has been at work. Its members defeated the Cermak bill at Springfield by wiles best known to themselves. They intend to have this ordinance passed? Will they? Well, they're women and the councilmen are men. . , fact It Is probable that many of the manufacturers will take out stock In the concern. The name of the new foundry company will probably be the Richmond Foundry, Company, but nothing definite has been settled relative to this. One of tbe men interested stated this morning that subscription lists would be started within a few days. : A RIOT SHERIFF PURSUES Foreigners in West Virginia Try Reign of Terror. Charleston, W.
