Any Person Found Guilty of Furnishing Information to Poolrooms to Be Punished Without Delay.

HOOSIER EXECUTIVE WILL PROBE MATTER Even if Sleek Church Member Is in on the Game, He Will Not Be Shown Any Mercy Whatever. Indianapolis, Jan. 29. If there is in Indiana any sleek, well-fed, churchgoing person who is aiding in bringing race track news into the state, he had better look out, for he may be deprived of his religious pabulum and made to eat his meals for a while within the four bare walls of a cell. Governor Marshall is after the poolroom business in Indiana again, and is getting ready to declare war, and if possible it will be war which will mean the permanent end of the poolroom business in the state, he says. A special messenger from the governor's office has just returned from Jeffersonville, Ind., and Louisville, Ky. This messenger found that the poolroom near Jeffersonville, Ind., which has been well patronized by Louisville sports and which was broken up a snort time ago by the governor, is in full swing again. Tired of Half-Way Measures. "I can not stop the poker clubs and the bridge whist clubs in Indiana very well," said the governor, "but I am going to put an end to this race course gambling within the state. And I am tired of breaking up the pool selling only to have it break out again in some other place. I am tired of these peripatetic gamblers from other states who are making trouble here." "The race track gambling is stopped at Jeffersonville, and then it breaks out in another part of the state. I could stop the gambling at Jeffersonville by invoking the services of the Jeffersonville officers. There has been a change of administration at Jeffersonville and the new chief of police and the new sheriff will move against the gamblers if I request it, or at my reauest they will hold their hands until I decide just what course I wish to pursue. But what is the use to prosecute? The small fine is paid and then the gambling continues until the next raid is made. "I would like to strike a blow that will end this thing permanently, and that is the course I am considering. I 'nave all the facts I need. I am fully supplied with evidence. In my own opinion the imprisonment of some sleek, well fed, churchgoing ierson, who is aiding in bringing racing news into Indiana, would have a very salutary effect. If such a person should be deprived of his religious pabulum and made to take his meals in a prison cell for a while, results might be obtained." WAYNE IS OFF LIST First Time in Twenty Years There Will Be No Fair Within Her Borders. OTHER DATES ARE NAMED For the first time in twenty years, Wayne county this year will be without a fair. Now that the Hagerstown association has passed to the great beyond, there is nothing doing along this line, though Richmond's fall festival more than supplies the void. These tentative dates have been agreed upon by the Eastern Indiana Fair association for the 101O county fairs of the association: Montpelieer, July : to 20; Middletowu, August 2 to 5s New Castle, August 9 to 12; Fairmount, August 0 to 12; Muncie, August 17 to 10; Ehvood. August 22 to 20; Warren, August 30 to September 2; Marion, September (J to 1; and Portland, September to 0. Members of the association whose dates are the same have raised some objections to their assignments, however, and changes in these may be made. W. I Risk of New Castle, has been re-elected president of the association, and F. A. Wiseheart of Middletown, secretary. An Important departure in the speed programs this year will be four stake races of $300 each at each fair. GOTHAM'S ROUGH DAY. New York, Jan. 29. The storm which became a cyclone in the Southern states has swept rapidly up the Atlantic coast and this city was today suffering from a rain, snow and sleet storm that impedes traffic everywhere.

STATISTICS ARE SHOWN

(American News Service) Berlin, Jan. 2t. Some striking indications of German working men's prosperity are contained in the Prussian savings bank statistics. The deposits in the kingdom, which comprises only two thirds of the empire totalled about $2,383,000 at the end of JlxW. Deposits during that year were about $112,.jjO,)u more than in 1907, and the excess of deposits over withdrawals amounted to about $:o,(XM,X)o. The greatest increase of deposits nvor withHrauratu was register! in the heart of industrial Germany, thr4 Rhine provinces and Westphalia contributing nearly $l!),7GO,XK and 000,000. Experts predict that 1010 will bring the total Prussian savings bank deposits to $2,500,0X,00O, or twice the amount of the indemnity which Prussia exacted from France. The amount due to depositors in the British postoffice savings bank in 1908 was about $530,241,000. The increase in 1008 was only $15,740hS3. GROCERS' TRUST WILL BE PROBED South Bend's Alleged Iniquity Is to Be Looked After By the State. PRICE FIXING IS CHARGED ALL TRADESMEN SAID TO BE CONNECTED WITH COMBINE NOTIFIED TO CALL ON THE COURT THIS WEEK. (American News Service) South Bend, Ind., Jan. 28. South Bend's alleged grocer's trust is to be subjected to a searching investigation by Prosecutor C. E. Pattee. The prosecutor and his aides have been quietly conducting an investigation In South Bend and the bolt will fall. It is alleged that through a central price fixing bureau a standard of prices is maintained for all goods sold by grocers in South Bend and that a man is employed to visit each grocer in the city every day and have a uniform price fixed for all commodities. Subpoenas are being prepared against all these tradesmen and they will be given a chance to explain themselves before the grand jury a week from Monday next. A LAKE SHORE WRECK. Cleveland, O., Jan. 29. Mail train No. 21 from Boston to St. Louis on the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad crashed into the rear end of Lake Shore Express No. 19, near the Ashtabula station today. The impact demolished the rear half of an observation car and caused the mail car back of the locomotive of No. 21 to collapse. Several trainmen were badly bruised. A certain official has petitioned the board of education to draw up the regulations for awarding and inflicting fines on the foot binding females of the empire. Shanghai Mercury.

THE WANT AD. MEDIUM OF EASTERN INDIANA

Below is a statement of the number of lines of Classified advertising carried by the Palladium and Item in 190S and 1909. The statement demonstrates that the Palladium is by far the most popular paper among the users of Classified advertisements. It also shows by the large increase in Classified advertising carried by both papers in 1909 over 1908 that the people of this community are learning that the cheapest and quickest way to satisfy their wants is by using the newspapers. In 190S the Palladium carried 34,S77 lines of Classified advertising more than the Item, and in 1909 the Palladium led the Item by 16,889 lines. This tremendous lead is due to the larger circulation of the Palladium and to the fact that Palladium readers are in the habit of reading Palladium Want Ads daily.

Former Commissioner Appears to Have Position Tied Up and Ready for Delivery to Him.

FEBRUARY 14 LIKELY THE PRIMARY DATE Not Believed Possible for New Committee to Get Things in Readiness at an Earlier Time. With the reorganization of the Wayne County Republican committee tomorrow, the campaign for the republican nomination of various county and legislative positions will be under the care of new men, and it appears that Cornelius E. Wiley of this city, would be the unanimous choice of the committee for chairman. For the secretaryship there will likely be a contest, inasmuch as there are two or three afpirants for this position, which is one of no less importance than the chairmanship. The new county committee is composed of several members who have served previously in the same capaci ty, especially is this true in Richmond wards, and for this reason there will be no delay in getting down to busi ness. The consensus of opinion with regarding the coming primary is that it should be held at the earliest possible date, but the short time for prep aration practically precludes the possibility of holding it on February 7, as has been suggested. If the day of the week. Monday, is regarded as the suitab e day, the committee probably will fix February 14. In order to col lect all assessments from candidates, prepare the ballots, see to their printing and then finally to name inspectors, judges, and other officers consti tuting the election boards, there is a big job ahead for the chairman and sec retary of the new committee, whoever they may be, and it would be an arduous undertaking to accomplish in a week's time. SEINE STILL WILD Bursts Through Dam and Threatens Further Damage in Paris. HOUSE OF ART IN DANGER Paris, Jan. 29. The Seine this afternoon burst through a part of the dam constructed along the bridge parapets at the Louvre Quay and the destruction of the entire Tempy Dyke was considered inevitable, threatening the famous house of Art with an irresistable will of water. JUDGE ALDEN TODAY. "The Needs of the Hour" will be the subject of an address delivered in the gymnasium of the Y. M. C. A. this afternoon at 3 o'clock by Judge George D. Alden of Boston. Judge Alden is recognized as a strong speaker and the address promises to be not only interesting but of educational value also. The Sunday afternoon lectures at the Y. M. C.

ALL ALARM IS ALLAYED

Any alarm which relatives and friends may have had over the safety of Guy Study, a former Richmond boy who is now studying architecture in the Ecole Beaux Arts in Paris, on account of the great floods, has been allayed by a dispatch received by the state department at Washington, D. C, from Ambassador Bacon in Paris, stating that all Americans in the city are safe. The dispatch was to the effect, however, that many of them had been compelled Id vacate their homes because of flooded conditions. Guy Study is the son of Able Study, an attorney of this city, and is a broth er of Robert Study, who is also en gaged in lhe practic of law here. I n til about three years ago he resided in Richmond. Attorney Study has received no word from his son since the flood and is greatly relieved to learn of the dispatch from Ambassador Bacon. Mr. and Mrs. Study have been living at No. 4 Rue Lepold Roberd, which is near the Luxenburg Garden, directly in the ilooded district, and but a few blocks from the River Seine. Local relatives are expecting to receive word from him within the next few days. Mr. Study expects to return to America soon for the purpose of locating in St. Louis, where he will engage in the architectural business. PLAN CAMPAIGN FOR Y. M. C. A. Directors to Make Effort for a Vigorous Growth. SIGNS ARE ENCOURAGING AVERAGE MEMBERSHIP - DURING THE LAST YEAR WAS 800 THE CRUCIAL TEST, HOWEVER, IS IN THE SECOND YEAR. For the purpose of discussing the membership question, the board of directors of the Y. M. C. A. will hold a special meeting Tuesday evening and it i nrnhnhle iii-ransrpTiipnts will be tv- a camnnin nfr thpS ; a campaign lines. The membership of the association at present is in good condition. Many of the members whose time expires this month or next have already renewed. A special effort will be made to interest business men in the association and while their patronage has been excellent, the officials would like to have every one enrolled and taking an active part. Good Record Last Year. During the last year, the membership averaged more than 800. Secretary Goodwin states that because of this exceptionally large membership, the association made such a splendid showing. It will be remembered that it paid about $300 on the investment, not including the $300 which the Ladies Auxiliary earned for the association and which might be used in case of an emergency. It is during the second year when the "newness" of the association has worn off and when it gets down to its real work that brings the crucial test. It is for this reason that all interested in its welfare wish a large enrollment and also that the members may derive its many benefits. A DUSKY KING WEDS London, Jan. 29. The mail from the Friendly Islands, in the South Pacific, brings news of the second marriage of dusky King George II of Tonga. The ceremony took place on November 12, and was very popular among the islanders. The bride was Princess Aua Soiui Takibo, sixteen years old, and a very comely damsel. She won the enthusiastic praise of all the chiefs and nobles who attended the wedding. The royal and happy couple were the recipients of hundreds of gifts brought from all parts of the Island by their subjects. The royal bridegroom was attended by two pages, and the bride by six bridemaids. King George, who is thirty-six years old, had been a widower for seven years. WATER SUPPLY SUFFERS. Chicago, Jan. 29. The water supply of Chicago is menaced by ice breaking up and clogging the intakes at the four cribs. So serious became the battle against the jam of ice that calls for aid was sent and tugs with men were hastened to the cribs to assist in keeping the screens clear.

Clean Hands and Buoyant

Heart Will Accomplish Much in Fight to Succeed in Life. PRES. KELLY'S IDEAS HAVE MUCH INTEREST Most of Eariham's Failures Are of the Class of Students Whose Bills Are Paid for Them. President Kelly of Earlham College is a great believer in self-reliance and he does not consider lack of money a barrier to any young man who desires to get an education. In last evening's issue of the Indianapolis News a number of Indiana college presidents give their opinions of the worth of the class of students who work their way through college and President Kelly's utterances along this line are of special interest. This is what he told the Ne-s: "In the first place it should be said that we do not have at Earlham college many representatives of the social extremes. Not many of our students come from homes of great luxury or from homes of extreme poverty. Not many of them are sent to college. Most of them come with a definite purpose in mind from homes of wholesome influence and high standards of life; they are .therefore, nearly all earnest students. Perhaps a majority of the men and many of the girls depend wholly or partly on their own efforts in meeting college expenses, and this has been true throughout the history of the college. Among our graduates who are recognized as having given a good account of their stewardship and most of them belong to this class the majority undoubtedly contributed materially to their own college expenses. They had formed habits of self-reliance before they came to college and they made college attendance their business in a very matter of fact sort of way, working more often during the vacations or dropping out a year or two to replenish their treasuries, rather than taking work during the school term. A minority paid their way as they went along, although under ordinary conditions I do not believe this is the best plan. "Most of the few failures we have had belong to the class who have had their bills paid for them. If a student has the right sort of material in him ho is fortunate not to be burdened with the necessity of paying his own way. "The fundamental laws of life are operative, however, among college students as elsewhere, and the fai t that a man must hustle and pay for what he gets, requires the formation of habits which are a greaa asset in the struggles of later life. No young man or young woman who has the health and the grit need feel that lack of means is a serious obstacle in the way of a college education. - The main thing is to have two clean hands and a buoyant heart."

A PROBE IS THREATENED

Pittsburg, Jan. 29. That the Pennsylvania railroad will dispose of its holdings in Baltimore & Ohio railroad common and preferred shares, several relations with the Baltimore & Ohio, so far as its alleged shaping of the policies of the latter is concerned and will absolutely divorce the two systems, is stated to be reported on excellent authority in a telegram from Baltimore. Talk of a congressional investigation into alleged Pennsylvania railroad domination of the Baltimore & Ohio system is said to have been a factor in determining the former company to dispose of its Baltimore & I Ohio stockholdings. HUNDREDS DEAD; MANY ARE DYING Nicaraguan Rebellion Shows No Sign of Abatement Just Now. THREATEN MADRIZ TROOPS GENERAL CHAMARRO IS ADVANCING RAPIDLY AND GOVERNMENT SOLDIERY IS FALLING BACK IN GREAT DISORDER. (American News Service) Colon, Jan. C?. Dispatches from Nicaragua received today say that Gen. Chamarro. having marshalled his insurgent troops after the battle of January .". is advancing rapidly on the Madriz troops near Acoyapa and the government army is falling back" in disorder. The casualties in the first clash, when 400 rebels were killed and wounded and more than that many government soldiers captured, have aroused the Kstradans to a determined rush on the capital. They have been angered by the enlistment of negroes by .Madriz. The latter haj sent a regiment and t'.ie gunboat Angela to intercept tho five hundred men in the new army that threatens to attack Managua. These troops are Salvadorians and it is believed here that President Flgueroa of Salvador is helping Estrada overthrow Madriz. ANOTHER FIERCE BATTLE. Troops Fought at Close Quarters and Carnage Was Frightful. Hluefield. Jan. 29. News of the terlific fighting between the apposing forces was received today. When the battle, which is described as more deadly than that at Pecreo, was at its heighth the insurgents were threatened with disaster by the fire from a half concealed government battery. Giving the order to charge in extremely open order General Chemorro sped his horse to the head of the line. The horse was shot from under him and he continued on foot till stricken. As he fell he gave the order to close in and his men believing him to be dying, fought like mad men. Chem orro was not fatally wounded. Es trada, after seeing personally that his chief lieutenant was well cared for, urged his men again and again to the attack. The troops fought at close quarters, much of the fighting being hand to hand. Bayonets and swords proved effective at critical moments, though American sharpshooters shared in the honors and the field guns did terrible work. When the Madriz forces were compelled to draw back, their ranks cut to pieces, and their organization disrupted, Estrada marshalled his lines and continued on, following up his advantage. The march will be pushed on to the capital and the provisional government officials here believe the city will be captured within three days at most. As soon as a full report of the battie is received, the request for recognition will be called to Washington. .atto?sbIe?Scm(tAtterBldgy Lma J. R. KEENE1S SERVED. New York, Jan. 29.

Glavis, on the Stand in Bat linger-Pinchot Hearing, Gives Some Interesting Facts to Public.

LONG DAY WAS PUT IN PROBERS WERE WEARY Much Questioning Featured the Period That Glavis Was On the Stand Interest Shown in Affair. . Washington. Jan. l"!. Louis TL Glav is again took the witness stand when the special joint committee of the sen ate and nouse, which is investigating the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy, resumed Its hearing today. Attorney Brandeis began by reminding Mr. Glavis that he had testified that ho bad been instructed In May, 1907, to discontinue work on the Alaskan coal claims, and did nothing In that connection until next October. During that period Glavis said he received no letters or telegrams relating to taking up the work again, and that although, he had several conferences with land office officials, nothing was said about resuming the investigation. "Did they indicate that they wanted to hinder you in carrying out your investigation in any of these conversations?" nsked Chairman Nelson. Tried to Hinder Inquiry. "Mr. Dennett said." replied Glavis, ""he thought we should not prosecute the coal claimants criminally; that it their claims were canceled It would be sufficient." "That s not responsive to my question," Interrupted Chairman Nelson, rather sharply. "I asked If they sought to interfere with the Investigation." "They did." answered Glavis. and l then proceeded to narrate this conversations with Dennett andother offl; cials of the land office. " "One telegram from Iennett to Glavis in April. Hum, told him the investigation must be completed in sixty days an J asking for more help," said Representative Denby, "but In your replies to the department which have been read, you don't Fay what the character of your investigation was." "I want to say right here," interrupted Attorney Brandeis, "that this . record, 'meaning the report of Attorney-General Wickershaml does not contain all of the letters In the cane. There are quite a number of communications which have been omitted and we have asked to have them produced." Mr. B.'audeis intimated that they had been intentionally left out. and that if supplied they would be responsive to tae question of Representative Denby. Obtained Affidavits. Answering questions by Representative Madison. Glavis said that following instructions to close up the Investigation in sixty days he had bis agents obtain affidavits from claimants. This did not complete the Investigation as he thought a field investigation was necessary. "We dtd not think the government had all the evidence required before going to trial." said Glavis. "I was told to make my report, but that I tculd continue my Investigation." "What was then done?" asked'Chairman Nelson. "Special Agent Sheridan was sent out and he made an examination of the evidence obtained." "Mr. Sheridan superceeded you. did he not?" asked Senator Nelson. "Yes sir." "Wasn't it then that it occurred to you to apply to Mr. Pinchot to help you. and to get your case before the president?" said Senator Nelson. "Oh, no sir," replied Glavis. "I was not worried at ail about Mr. Sheridan. He agreed with me that there should be a field Investigation. That could only have been done in the summer owing to the climate of Alaska." This reference to Mr. Pinchot was the first mention of the former chief forester before the committee since the special hearing began. Glavis explained that the field examination was desirable because It would show that the preliminary work which the claimants were going to perfect their claims was being done In common. That would be evidence, he said, of collusion. "This fact." said he. "taken In connection with the journal kept by Clarence Cunningham showing that agreements had been entered Into by the claimants to combine, would have constituted a case." He said there was a field examination daring July and August. Senator Nelson Takes Part. Senator Nelson then started to ask some questions. He asked Glavis bow he came to Washington. Glavis replied that he came to set an affidavit from a congressman who had a claim in the "Green Group." The congressman was Representative McLooghlin. of California, said Glavis, bat be did
