Reported That Some of the

Leaders Are Anxious to Lineup With the Anti-saloon League. ORGANIZATION WANTS TO SECURE LEGISLATURE Letters Sent Out Point to the Great Necessity of Electing Dry Men to the Next Indiana Assembly. Indianapolis, July 23. It is said Ithat an effort will be made by some of the republican party leaders of the state to again, in a measure, line up the republican party with the Anti-Saloon league during the campaign next year for the purpose of trying to bring about the passage of a state wide prohibition bill by the next legislature. This may sound like an inconsistent statement, judging from what has happened in the past and the present temper of the majority of the voters of the state, but nevertheless it is true for it was so stated yesterday by one of the men who is high in the councils of - the party in the state. And the movement in the party does not originate with the Hanly following : -either. , 8nt Out Letters. It is known that a short time ago the Anti-Saloon league sent circular ; letters to several hundred of its memibers throughout the state bearing on fthls subject. The Anti-Saloon league j wants to control the next legislature. 'That much is certain. It tried to conjtrol the last legislature and it did so rto the extent that it succeeded in presenting the repeal of the county local option law. But this time it proposes to go even further than it did last year and It will seek to get such a firm hold on the legislature that . it can put through the plan for state wide prohibition.' It is this plan that some of the republican state leaders have 1 fallen in with. ' . The bUers which the league sent out po - lited 'out to the members the .great rceessity of electing "dry" men 'as members of the next legislature, in 'order ; that a prohibition law , can : be ipaased. It advised the members that while an effort will be made to keep J both political parties from putting a prohibition plank in their platforms jnext year, it will nevertheless be wise (for the anti-saloon people to see to it that the next legislature is composed ;of a majority of "dry" members in or'der to bring about absolute prohibition in Indiana. What They Fear. All 'along the officers of the 'league Jiave announced their opposition to any platform declaration on this subject by either of the old parties. They fear that such a declaration would do the cause harm, because It would .make it a political party question. This is something that all parties hope to avoid. But even in spite of this the league (believes It can consistently work for H,he nomination and election of members of the legislature who will be opposed to the saloon and who will vote for prohibition. The league' says It will not consider the politics of the man whom it chooses to support In teach district and that it will not matJter which party he belongs to just so he will say be Is for prohibition. The (bulk of this work of picking, candidates that will bo satisfactory to the KAnti-Saloon league wiliji therefore, be taone at the conventions or primary (elections, and in these the league is expected to take a big hand. Republican Control. It is now proposed that the republicans throughout the state shall join in with this movement for the nomination and election of dry candidates (for the legislature, on the ground that 4t will be a popular movement and one that will add to the strength of he party in the various counties. The men who are backing the proposition believe that with the aid of the .Anti-Saloon league they could make cure of electing a sufficient number of members of the legislature to insure republican control at the next session. Just how far they will get with this plan is a question. . It is not known just who all are connected with the proposition among the republican leaders, but it 1 known that some of them are giving it serious consideration. It Is understood that they will probably send out letters to a" number of the party workers In various counties to find oat what they think of the plan, and the answers they receive may have something to do with the outcome of the plan. There are now nearly eighty dry counties in Indiana, and the backers of the movement are in hopes that the answers received - from these counties will be so numerous and of such a nature as to cause the party to take up the mat ter in earnest. It is not likely that uiy of the candidates for state nomhat I om- J

LABOR IS RIDDED OF HUMAN BRUTE THE COURT SAYS Judge Foster in Sentencing President Shea of Teamsters' Union Today Made a Remarkable Utterance. MAN WAS CONVICTED WOUNDING AFFINITY His Defense Was That Crime Was Compensated by Work He Had Done in Behalf of V N Laboring Men. , (American News Service) New York, . July": 23. Cornelius P. Shea, former president of the Inter national ' Brotherhood of Teamsters, was today sentenced to not less than five years nor more than twenty years for attempting to kill Alics Walsh, his affinity, by repeatedly stabbing her. In passing the sentence, Judge Foster of the general sessions court said: "This crime was extremely brutal that of mutilating woman whom your counsel said you had loved. . I fully appreciate your efforts for organized labor. No one can gainsay my admiration for the object of the movement. When such brutal men as you dominate labor they hold it up for suspicion. I think I am helping labor's cause by ridding it of such a man as you." ' An Odd Defense. Shea's counsel had urged leniency on plea that Shea's efforts for labor had compensated for the crime. A new trial was denied. Shea inflicted twenty stab wounds on the person of his affinity. Alice Walsh, who was formerly a waitress in a Chicago restaurant Shea has a wife and three children living in Massachusetts. IS NO IMPROVEMENT Mrs. I. R.

PROBABLE PREMIER FAVORS THAT PARTY JSHMSJ If He Takes the High Office It Is Certain That Revolutionary Factions Will Get More License. (American News Service) Paris, July 23. France stands today on the threshold of socialistic domin ance. Following the offer of Presi dent Fallieres to Aristide Briand to form a new ministry to succeed the Clemenceau ministry, developments came fast today to indicate that the tendencies of the new ministry will be distinctly socialistic. M. Briand is an avowed socialist. a moving orator and a distinguished scholar. His inception into the office of Premier means greater latitude than the revolutionary factions have ever enjoyed. M. Simyan, under secretary of the department of posts and telegraphs, whom the postal' employes held responsible for the recent erievances which precipitated the recent strike, will certainly lose his office if Briand succeeds in carrying out his desires for a new cabinet. Thus the striking element will get its revenge. It is understood, that several mem bers of the Clemenceau cabinet are not distasteful to the M. Briand. They are Gen. Picquart, minister of war; M. Milles-Lacroix, minister of the col onies and perhaps M. Picard. minister of marine. Through the sheer force of his personality M. Briand has risen in several years from a position of obscurity among the ranks of the revolutionary socialists to a commanding place in the affairs of France. His first step into prominence not only in France, but abroad was gained when he reported the final chapters of the separation law and sought to separate the church and the state, assuring the freedom of worship and conscience. The result was his elevation to the office of minister of public instruction and worship in 1906 and In the year following made minister of Justice. Through all his rises to the present he never lost sight of his goal socialistic ascendency in France. It is freely predicted that M. Briand will fail in his efforts to appoint a successful ministry which can command a majority of the votes of the Chamber. Deputy Dubier, heading sixty radical socialists has taken a stand not to support a ministry which is not of the most ultra radical variety. M. Janres, leader of the socialists of less violent tendencies in the chamber declared today that he and his followers would support M. Briand relying upon his judgment to the end. Political Paris figuratively held Its breath with expectation for the official answer of M. Briand today. There was a feeling of the keenest intensity in the air. It was at first thought that the high post would be offered to M Bourgeous. and so it would have been, but for the doubt of hi attirnd and his absence from Paris. M. Briand seems to occupy a midway position between the conservatives and the radical revolutionists. He is diplomatic and steeped in political knowledge, and he knows the inevitable fate, of revolutionaries in high places. M. Briand is ooDoaed to the dissolution of the revolutionary general federation of labor, which M. Clemenceau favored and the member3 of this organization throughout France feel that the sympathies of M. Briand are more than lukewarm toward them. M. Clemenceau finds himself in a neculiar situation today. The storm against him is now having its reaction and in certain quarters be is more popular than he waa before his nolitieal

NEED OF HARK0NY IS STILL VERY EVIDENT Solons in Doth Houses Continue Endeavors to Organize To Force Recognition From Powers. Chicago. July 23. John Cmllasf O LaughUn says In the Tribune in part today: The Taft program is winning to Its support the Insurgent senators both off the low tariff and high tariff variety. 1 This does not mean that harmony j prevails throughout the rank and flla of the republican party in the two; houses of congress. There are men la' both branches who still ' continue to circulate industriously in an effort toeffect a combination of such formida-i ble proportions that the president andj conferees will have to give heed toi their demands. In one case for hlgh-i er protection and in the other for downward revision. Forty members of the house, met yesterday and declared themselves unalterably opposed to the free raw mate- . rial proposal of the president Twenty-live members of the same delegation; -held another meeting today and adopt ed a resolution declaring In effect that; a reduction of any important extent in the rates on raw materials would be fatal to the Interests of the die-1 trlcts represented by them. Countenanced by Senators. This movement has the countenance and support of the senators from, the states In which these congressional districts are situated. But theeenatora . have not themselves beea able to organise any kind of a satisfactory opposition to the president and prefer to work under cover; in the house than " come out in the open in their own branch. While this movement la agitated la the house in the Interest of high rates the original Insurgents in the senate are finding that there is a common ground upon which they and the president can stand. Senator Cummins of Iowa breakfasted with the president today. Senator Nelson of Minnesota' had a conference with him. Senator Dolllver of Iowa discussed various features of the situation with the chief executive. A careful survey of the situation as a whole shows ' a gradual drawing together of the conflicting interests of. the republicans in congress and between them and the White House. The high tariff men. for instance, say they; will not insist upon a duty on hides,) but will vote against the conferences . report which reduces bituminous coali below 40 cents a ton and plscee iron on the free list The low tariff Insurgents Insist that while it is Important that the president's program with respect to iron ore, oil, hides and coal should bo adopted it Is of still greater import' anee that the duties on manufactured products should be brought down nearer tho protective point. Coal Situation Changes. In both cases tho insurgents approximately approach tho position tho president has assumed. Mr. Taft still wants free hides, free oil and free iron ore. Ho Is satisfied these three aro sssured But a diffrent situation baa developed with respect to coal, and 4t cents a ton has beea suggostsd as a satisfactory compromise. It should, not be forgotten that In the statement defining his views oav the tariff which, tho president lssaed last week he made use of this sxpreoslon: "If iron ore. and oil. and coal, and hides do not need protection, and con

ditions are such as to enable tho producers, and tho oil producers. the coal producers, and tho of hides to compete successfaily, without reduction of wages, with tho producers from abroad, then they do sot need a duty and tho articles shoulj go on the free list." Stand Taken by President. Tho president added that the Question was one of fact which he hoped to make up his mind with respect to on such evidence as was available to him in order to carry out what ho understood to bo tho promise of tho party to tho whole people. There was some talk today that ho would reiterate this statement for tho pur poos of showing ho was not in favor of free raw materials generally. It was stated finally, however.' that the president wof d do nothing of tho kind, and that his original should continue to speak for kian. 8o far as Iron ore, oil and htss concerned, further tnfonastSa - t&o president has reeefoal La hint of the uMinttanrj XT ta madon to insist upon thetr ai free of duty.
