DEMOCRATS HEED SOFT PEDAL MAK QUITE URGENTLY

And If You Are an Expert in That Kind of Business, Hand In Your Application to Any Big Chief. LEVI HARLAN STARTS BOOM FOR T. TAGGART In Washington and Now Some Other Ambitious Leaders Greatly Desire to Have the Muffler Applied. (Palladium Special) Indianapolis. Jan. 22. Some fellow who is an expert at getting certain people to put on the soft pedal in a political way can get a job right now by applying to certain well known leaders of the democratic party. The those democrats who are SOIUK ttUUUl . . i . now crying that Thomas Taggart is to be the next United States senator if the legislature is democratic. Since State Senator Levi P. Harlan gave out his interview at Washington early this week that Taggart was the man for United States senator the boom has spread' like wild fire among the friends of Taggart and those who have never been so close to Taggart and who ore hoping for the best for the democratic party are trembling with fear. Fear It Will Do Harm. To say that some of the democrats who do not worship Taggart as a demigod are fearing that the Taggart talk will do the party much harm in the election of a legislature is putting It mildly. In fact if the Taggart talk keeps ;p it is feared it will require some drastic efforts to turn the next legislature to the democrats. Even this early the talk has set in among the democrats that if the next legis-l lature is republican the chances are that a state wide prohibition, amendment will be put through. This talk 18 put out in spite of the fact that the Anti-Saloon league has declartd that the question shall be kept out of politics and it is the opinion of the re publicans that the talk has been started purely to offset the harm which the Taggart talk may do to the chances for getting a democratic legislature. Some of the leading democrats regard the Taggart talk at thi3 early date as being the worst thing that has happened for the democratic party. Governor Marshall is not saying much about it but it is understood by his friends that he is worried considerably. It is no secret that the governor thinks there are many democrats in Indiana who are much better qualified to be United States senator than Thomas Taggart. The governor It is said, does not believe that Taggart is an expert on the tariff, the finance and other great questions which may come befort the United States senate. The governor believes according to his friends, that if the democrats are to talk for anybody for United States senator before the elec tion it should be some big democrat who will measure up to the standard of a United States senator, it was significant that John E. Lamb of Ter Te Haute came to Indianapolis jester day and was engaged in a long conference with the governor yesterday afternoon. It was understood that Mr. Lamb came to Indianapolis at the request of the governor and it was believed around the state house that It was a political mission that brought the Terre Haute man to the capital Lamb is Not Cordial. It is known that Mr. Lamb does not think any too much or Taggart and that he probably would not care to play with Taggart even if he were assured that Taggart would not be a candidate for the United States senate. The report is also that the Governor believes Mr. Lamb is about the best equipped of any man in Indiana to serve as United States senator. One of the questions which is worrying the democrats is whether Senator Harlan when he was at Washington was authorized to speak for Taggart, or whether he was talking on bis own hook. If Harlan was talking on his own hook It may be" that the oft pedal can be applied to the Tag-1 cart talk even yet. But If he was authorized to speak for Taggart conditlons look rather bad. With Harlan In Washington and Taggart in Missisippi shooting ducks there is not much chance to solve the mystery. Expect the Usual Crop. While there anoarentlv has been a

shortage of republican candidates for which Is controlled by the Guggenstate offices up to this time it is the helm interests, is expending a fortune belief among republicans that the in deep mining work is proof of faith usual crop will appear when the an- i permanency and richness of the nual meeting of the Lincoln league is ! deposits at great depth in the held at Columbus, February 12. "The Coeur d'Alene district, fact that no love feast was held prob-1 Tllis work has revived interest in ably had a great deal to do with the the district, which produced about 40 backwardness of the republican can-' percent of the total lead output of the dldates." said A.

"If we had been idle for years will be put in lnv fst I have no doubt but . shape for active operations during the

But the love feast at the Lincoln league meeting will do the work and in my opinion there will be a batch of announcements just before the date for the league meeting. They will make their announcement and then they will go My On "ttOMO QUTCNX," that

PRESIDENT TAFT SUGGESTED THAT SENATE GET BUSY (Continued From Page One.) tion may take, and the president believes the hest way to secure this support is first to provide for the postal banks. The president's arguments for this svstem are well known. He believes. first of all, that the postal banks will not interfere to any appreciablt ex tent with the legitimate savings banks, which pay from 3 to 4 percent interest, as against the 2 percent in terest proposed tc be paid by govern ment depositories. He believes the government banks will bring out many millions of dollars now resting in stockings, sewed up in mattresses, and concealed in every conceivable manner by timid and thrifty people. He thinks also it will prevent the great outflow of cash to European banks each year. The argument to the banks and financiers is that the deposits in the government bank will permit the govLI IJlillliL LU LCIIVC Ull HG . i j . v . j :j j of 2 percent government bonds tnat havf, been issued and which are a drug on the market. Compelled to Take Bonds. Many of the national banks were compelled to take these bonds because they feared their bank note circulation would be seriously limited otherwise. The banks are said to have lost many millions of dollars through the depreciation of these bonds, and it is generally reported they stand to lose a great deal more when the Pana ma canal bonds are issued in the near future. Throughout the remainder of the present congress it is agreed the caucus rule is to prevail in the house of representatives. This state of affairs is credited to the efforts of the president. The power of Speaker Cannon and the rules committee has been so far impaired that the caucus has come as the best and fairest means of provid ing for legislation. Before each caucus is held the purpose of the gath ering is to be announced and no other subject is to be considered. Regulars and insurgents alike are to be invited to such caucuses and in this way the administration believes it is assured of the support of all re publicans. A RAILROAD YARD BLASTED OUT ROCK It Is Two Miles Underground In the Heart of Idaho Mountain. IT IS FULLY EQUIPPED AND WAS MADE FOR THE PUR POSE OF HANDLING THE OUT PUT OF A RICH MINE JUST RE CENTLY FINISHED. Spokane, WTash., Jan. 22. Blasted out of solid rock, two miles underground, in the heart of a mountain near Mullan, Idaho, is a fully equipped railroad yard with electrically propelled cars handling the rich lead-silver ore produced by the Morning mine, owned by the Federal Mining and Smelting company. The work, just completed under the direction of Charles K. Cartwright, formerly a star on the University of Pennsylvania football team, required more than a year and involved the expenditure of several hundreds of thousands of dollars and the labor of many men. The yard, which is the only one of its kind in the Northwest and the largest in America, is 200 feet in length and 36 feet in width, the hight ranging from 20 to 100 feet. The electrical apparatus, hoisting machinery and boilers are in a chamber, 50 by 78 feet and 20 feet high, while in the rear of the four-compartment shaft, now under construction, is an ore bin, 20 by 26 feet and 50 feet high, with a capacity or l.oOO tons, lne snatt win De sunk to reacn a depth of 2,500 j feetProf of Faith.

ACTED LIKE WILD BEAST CLIMBED UP THE GRATINGS AND FRANTICALLY TORE HIS CLOTHING WAS NIGHT OF TERROR AT BASTILE. Beating frantically on the iron bars of his cell in the city jail and yelling at the top of his voice for cocaine, Fred Baker, the lunatic, who was arrested Thursday evening, released in the city court yesterday morning and later arrested again, kept the other prisoners in the city bastile awake almost all of last night by his frenzied actions. The man is a cocaine fiend and is subject to temporary spells of insanity as the result of his excessive use of this dangerous drug. So frantic did he become in the night that he tore his clothes from his body and climbed over the iron bars in his narrow cell like a wild animal, pacing restlessly to and fro, madly endeavoring to gain his freedom. It was necessary to call a physician during the wee small hours of the morning to attend the man. Extra large hyperdermic injections of the deadly opiate were administered the unfortunate, who called again and again for doses of the drug. The dope fiend was finally quieted and remained peaceful for the remainder of the night. Is Pathetic Case. The case is a particularly pathetic one. The man is without home or relatives, and, although he is but 32 years of aee. is an inveterate slave to co caine. He stated that he contracted the habit several years ago, beginning by taking small doses for the purpose of affording relief from his sickness. Gradually its usage obtained a powerful hold on him, he said, that he could not break away from the practice, although he had tried repeatedly. Baker's former home was in Kokomo and before he became a user of the narcotic, he had a good business and was fairly well to do. For the past few years he has been knocking about the country, his experience in other cities being similar to that here. The man was furnished with transportation to Dayton by Township Trustee Howarth and was perfectly rational when he left this city. ANSWERS S Mrs. Ruth A.

QUAKERS JAKE GAME Defeated Miami at Basketball Last Evening by Score Of 25 to 17. CONTEST WAS A FAST ONE Earlham defeated Miami University last evening in one of the fastest games ever played here, by a score of men showed a great improvement over last week's game, and their victory over the Miami team, which is one of the crack teams of the middle west, was the result of fast team work and splendid Individual play. Hughes palyed a fast guard, bin was laid out in the second half and replaced by Frasier, who shot two goals and put Earlham in the lead. Rces and Mote played star games for the Quakers; Rees is one of the best forwards Earlham has ever had, and his goal throwing last night was a feature of the game. Capt. Brown and Levering played the best games for Miami. In the first half Referee Hunt called three fouls on Capt. Brown for talking; the Miami team protested, and for a time the air was blue, while the Qua kers sat around and waited for the ex citement of their guests to cool off. The matter was finally settled, and Branson took Hunt's place as Referee. Line-up and summary: Earlham (25) Miami (17) Forward Conrad (Capt.) Tebbetts Brown (Capt.) Forward. Rees Martin Center.

SUMMER SCHOOL PLANS ARE MADE Session at Earlham Will Begin Three Weeks Earlier Than Usual. PREPARE ANNOUNCEMENTS AND ARE NOW IN THE HANDS OF THE PRINTER AND WILL BE GIVEN OUT TO THE PUBLIC IN A SHORT TIME. The Earlham college summer school will convene three weeks earlier this year than in former years. This will make the opening of the educational work May 30, which Is some three weeks before the close of the spring tei-m. The announcements for the summer term have been completed and are now in the hands of the printer and will be issued in the course of a few days. This change in the date for the summer school was introduced because the school last summer lasted until the middle of September, and many of the professors were kept at the college the entire year. Twelve Weeks Term. The summer term will consist of twelve weeks, as last year, but will be arranged different. On May 30 the educational work will be started and continued tnree weeks, ana then a regular summer college term of six weeks will be run. After this, three weeks more study in educational matters will be taken up. Earlham has secured the services of Superintendent V. A. Jessup and he will assist in the department of edu cation. Mr. Jessup has been an assistant at the college for about four years and is one of the most efficient instructors in education in the state. During the past 5-ear Mr. Jessup has attended the teacher's college of Columbia university. Miss Ixmise Dietz of Madison, Ind., will again have charge of the obser vation summer school for teachers, which will be conducted aj. the Baxter school. Several members of the Earl ham faculty will have classes and lectures during the terra. will probably be invited to address the association. In 1811 an uncle of Roosevenlt's built the first boat to navigate the Ohio river and the meeting of the association will be held at Pittsburg to commemorate this event. Professor Lindley will probably attend both meetings. WILL LOSE ONE EYE (American Newi Service) Indianapolis, Jan. 22.

DISCUSS CAB HIRE

AT THEIR MEETING Members of West Richmond Association Think They Are Badly Used. FAIRER RATES DEMANDED MEMBERS FAVOR A NEW STREET PROJECT AND MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN RECEIVED CONSID ERABLE ATTENTION. The question of cab hire was the oc casion of heated discussion at a meet ing of the West Side Improvement as sociation which was held last evening in the Baxter School building. The west side boosters are of the opinion that they are being treated unfairly by the transfer and cab men of the city. They allege that the fares charged are i much too high, claiming that it costs the same to go over the river, even though it may be only one block from either of the bridges, as to the farthest eastern part of the city. What action will be taken in the matter is not known, but it is probable that an ef fort will be made to reach an agree ment between the liverymen and se cure a more reasonable and consistent fare. The report of the committee in regard to this matter was not heard owing to the absence of John Elleman. It will be brought up at the meeting of J the association next month and the out come of the fight with the transfer men will be watched with interest. New Street Project. The proposed making of West First street from Kinsey to Lincoln streets was discussed at the meeting last night The matter has been talked of at previous meetings but nothing definite has been done. It Is practically the unanimous opinion of all of the members that the street should be pushed through as it would be a great benefit to the west side. The property owners are very desirous of making the improvement, declaring that it is badly needed. The street, if built, will be at the top of the river bank. It is probable that a petition will be prepared soon, signed by all of the property owners on the west side of the proposed street, and presented to the board of works for action. The land on the east side of the street is owned by the city. A committee has been appointed to Investigate the matter, of which Thomas Hubbard is chairman. Membership Campaign. The report of the committee on the campaign for membership was not heard owing to the absence of several of the members. It will be submitted next month. It is the intention of the association to have every man on the west side become a member by another year. Recently all dues have been abolished and the one purpose of the organization is to boost West Rich mond. The rapid growth of the club has been very gratifying. The association believes that the west side needs a park and at the next meeting this question will be dis cussed. The report from the commit tee who has been investigating the matter will also be heard at that time. At present there is no park west of the river and it is thought that such an Improvement would be a great at traction and do much towards boom ing that section of the city. A TREATING VICTIM Man Trying to Break Liquor Habit Forced Off the Wagon by Friend. PASTOR PLEADS FOR HIM James Conley was arrested last night for intoxication and in the city court this morning, despite his previous con victions. Mayor Zimmerman gave him the minimum fine of $1 and costs at the request of the Rev. David C. Hunt ington, pastor of the SL Paul's church who interceded in the man's behalf. According to the Rev. Mr. Hunting ton. Conley is making an earnest endeavor to quit drinking and the liquor on which he got drunk last night was given him by a fellow employe. Con ley realizes that the habit is a disease with him and last week he solicited the assistance of Rev. Huntington to help him stay on the water wagon. The man joined Prof. Scott's Bible class last Sunday and seems to be trying very hard to stop. He is a good mechanic when sober, it is said.

KISS IS ILLEGAL Grecian Salute Must Not Be Perpetuated If Recipient Is Balky. SO GALLANT JUDGE RULES ETHEL, PRETTY AND PETITE, HAD THE DANCING MASTER -JUGGED" AFTER HE HAD FIRED HER THE OUTCOME. New York, Jan. 22 Magistrate O'Connor, in Yorkville court today, decided a young woman who never has been kissed or, for that matter, an old one who has is perfectly justified in withholding her lips from men who do not strike the fancy of the party of the first part. In other words, no man can compel a woman to separate herself from a smack against her will.

"I didn't try to kiss her. I discharged her because she was incompetent." "As a kisser or a dancer?" asked the court. "As a dancer," said the professor. "I discovered she was incompetent the first day she came. I didn't dis charge her at that time because it is so hard to get another teacher." "You fired me because I wouldn't kiss you!" said the girl. "You've kiss ed every teacher you ever had. Here's a card of the last teacher he had, who left for the same reason." She handed up a card bearing the name of a ML Vernon woman. Magistrate O'Connor reprimanded Nicholas and discharged him, with a suggestion that he confine himself strictly to the light fantastic in the future.
