ABE STILL ANGRY

AT THE Appointment of Bittler Did Not Appease Wrath of Northern Leaders. IS FROM WRONG DISTRICT NEW APPOINTEE, IT IS ARGUED BY MANY, SHOULD HAVE COME FROM THE TENTH OR THIRTEENTH DISTRICT. (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Jan. St. Whether or not the appointment of George Bittler of Fort Wayne as democratic deputy op the state board of accounts will appease the wrath of the democrats of northern Indiana is a question which is puzzling some of the democrats. It had been expected that the , governor -would make his appointment frpm the north part of the state but it Is in the tenth and thirteenth districts where greatest feeling has been stirred up against the governor and it; was the general belief that the democratic deputy would be appointed from one of these districts. While the democrats are high in their praise of Governor Marshall for Jiis attempts to get good men for the places he has to fill they are not very well pleased with the excuse which lie has been giving for not appointing northern Indiana men to some of the places. The governor's excuse is thai he has been compelled to go to the southern part of the state in order to get men who could fill the positions satisfactorily. The democrats fail to see why there should be any geographical distinction which makes men in the south part of the state highly qualified for good positions while those in the northern part of the state do not reach the standard. It is known that the governor hesitated a good while before making his last appointment on the accounting board. As a matter of fact he had been expected to make the appointment at least one week before he did. Some of his friends say that the hesitation was due to the fact that he could not promptly find a satisfactory man in the northern part of the state. Democratic organizers do not believe that it is well for such word as this to get out and they are becoming more thoroughly convinced every day that If the governor is thinking of being a candidate for the presidency he had better get a good political adviser. FROST RELIEF TO IMPERILED PARIS Waters of the Seine Began to Drop at a Good Rate Early Today. DROPS FOOT IN 24 HOURS NEARLY HALF MILLION PEOPLE, DESPITE OPPOSITION OF THE TROOPS, LINED BANKS TO WATCH THE RIVER FALL. (American News Service) Faris, Jan. 31. The flooded waters of the Seine began to fall more quickly today as a result of a sharp frost that set in early this morning. The day is bright and clear and the whole city is rejoicing over its deliverance from the flood terror, though the grim shadow of pestilence hangs over the city, and Is causing the authorities as much alrm as did the flood itself, if not more. In 24 hours, ending at 0 o'clock today, the Seine has fallen a foot. Three more bridges were opened to traffic and it is believed that within a few hours others can be used. Fully 300,00 persons, men, women and children, lined the river today despite the protests of the gendarmerie, who feared any sudden excitement would result in a panic and subsequent loss of life. Every announcement of the further fall of the waters was cheered tutnultuously. All classes, rich and poor, aristocrat, bourgeois and plebian and pauper, mingled in the happy throngs. All the efforts are now being directed to preventing an epidemic that may sweep the city from end to end unless adequate steps are taken at once. The preventive rather than the cure is what medical directors are seeking. Several cases of typhoid fever are reported but they are no frequent than usual after such weather as the city has been suffering. The leading medical authorities, headed by Prof. Rous, president of the Pasteur institute, met today and drafted a complete set of resolutions to be followed in this emergency. A special meeting of the council of the Seine was called for this afternoon to direct the police to enforce these resolutions effectually. The residents of Paris are warned to boil all the water for drinking purposes and under no condition to eat raw vegetables. The quick of ptvicklime as disinfectant is imperatively ordered and owners of cellars and other flooded places are directed to clean thera at once. FRANK HIGHLY ILL. Frank Highley is critically ill at the home of his daughter, Mrs. W. D. Williams In West Richmond. He is suffering from congestion of the brain und spinal cord and is also afflicted with kidney trouble.

TALKS ABOUT NICARAGUA William C. Dennis, assistant solicitor in the department of state at Washington, spoke to" the students of Earlham College, in chapel this morning on "the logical inconsistencies which have been directed toward the foreign policy of the United States." "But speaking of the criticisms," he said, "which have been directed toward the state department, I may say that they have a tendency to embarrass the action of the government in foreign affairs and not to help it.' Many of these criticisms, too, are made by intelligent newspapers, but they rather impede than help the situation. "During the past ten years the United States has interfered in Spain, Columbia and Nicaragua, In the latter place they had one of the worst rulers that ever vexed this country. There was a moral obligation for the government to intervene. The state department was criticised for using its moral obligation in foreign affairs. Some people maintained that a nation should have a moral obligation in foreign affairs, but shuld not act: but what good can be accomplished if the government docs not act? Nicaraguan Affair. "Take for instance the recent trouble with Nicaragua," he continued. "When a government becomes an international nuisance and drives Americans out of the country; oppresses the people and misrules the country, should this government not act! I think we had a right to act. A country that intercedes as the United States did, not to gain any territory, but to help its citizens, has the moral obligation to do so. It has been shown in the past that the United States government is safe to be trusted to assist the oppressed. The department should not be criticised for its action." In conclusion he said that he believed it was the business of the college people not to be led away by the criticisms of the state department but io see that the actions are founded on moral grounds. Mr. and Mrs. Dennis are in the city the guests of Dr. and Mrs. David W. Dennis of Earlham college. Mr. Dennis is a graduate of the class of 1S96, but completed his course at Harvard university. LONG TAILED COMET New Vagrant of the Skies Has One 50,000,000 Miles Long. HAS BEEN PHOTOGRAPHED (American News Service) Pasadena. Cal., Jan. 31. Comet "A 101O," has a tail O.xU.0O miles long. This is the decision of astronomers and scientists on Mount Wilson, who declare the tail of the comet peculiarly constituted and thirty degrees in length. Thirty degrees is commonly interpreted at 50,X,0t0 miles in astronomy. The first photographs of the comet have been obtained and are highly satisfactory. Fifty millions of miles would reach from the evening star. Venus, to the earth and two-thirds of the way back at the present date. Just now Venus is little more than 30.O00,(XX miles away. When it gets on the other swing of its orbit it will be lAXOOO.OOO miles away. The vagrant of the skies has, as far as is at present known from the photographs taken, three tails. :,Two:Of them form the brilliant appendage of great legnth and are long and slim. To jviuiuwj iuaiiUiUCULa auu. to cub nuKeu eye these two tails look as one. The scientific instrument shows another tail three times as broad as the other two combined and not more than two degrees in length. It will remain in the heavens for two weeks longer. Dr. C. B. Hargitt, of Hamilton, O., spent Saturday and Sunday, the guest of Mr. J. I Miller and Miss Grace Lacey of this city.

J. FRANK HANLY

IS BLOCKED OFF And the Republicans of Indiana Are Now Breathing Sighs of Relief. NO TEMPERANCE DISPUTE IN THE CONVENTION AS ANTISALOON LEAGUE HAS GONE ON RECORD AS WANTING TO DODGE ALL POLITICS. (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Jan. ai.The feeling that there is anything to fear in the next state convention by the republicans is rayidly dying out. While it seems that the fact has gone unnoticed for several weeks, it is true, just the. same that the recent action of the Indiana anti-saloon league in declaring for a prohibition amendment, together with the statement of the trustees of the organization that it is their desire that the question be kept out of politics, practically removes any probability that Former Governor Ilanly will go into the state convention with any pet temperance schemes to carry out. He Stands Strong. Former Governor Hanly is strong with the anti-saloon league and undoubtedly, if there had been any thought that he would try to get the republican party to take up the state wide prohibition question the trustees of the anti-saloon league never would have issued a public statement setting forth their desire that the liquor question be kept out of politics. This attitude oh the part of the anti-saloon league which has always played hand in hand with Hanly is regarder as a satisfactory indication that Gov. Hanly will not try to take any dictatorial part in the republican state convention. talk that Hanly would go into the retal kthat Hanly would go into the republican state convention and in a story of oratory, try to swing the convention to the state wide prohibition plan. This talk has practically all died out. WRECKED BY BOMB (American News Service) Zanesville, O., Jan. 31. The office of the II. J. Kimble wood works has been wrecked by a dynamite bomb. Mr. Kimble is a leader of the "dry" movement and bondsman for anti-saloon detectives. A 20-foot fuse is the only clue in the hands of the police. BUTTER FOR PRIZES (American News Service) Columbus, O., Jan. 31. At a card party given at Gibsenburg, by J. L,. Hart and wife, butter and eggs were offered as prizes, one pound of butter being the first prize and a dozen eggs the second. Several such parties are reported on the schedule for the coming week. NAME COL. WILEY AS CHAIRMAN AT TODAY'S SESSION (Continued From Page One.) mittee or the chairman deem it necessary. It has been customary to appoint men without the organization to the executive committee. Edward Warfel, the outgoing secretary, announced that he had audited the books of ex-Chairman Bowman and found everything satisfactory. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Of Republican Organization Is Announced by the Chairman. Chairman Wiley announced the executive committee this afternoon. The members of the committee are: E. B. Martindale of Clay township: L. N. Hampton, of New Garden township; C. J. Hiatt of Jackson township; John Russell of the first ward, and Andrew Stamer of the eighth ward, all regular members of the county central committee, and the officers of the central committee. The matter of selection of seven advisors was not considered at this after- ' noon's session and it was regarded as : very probable that nothing of this sort would be done today. Will Bond, chairman of the rules committee, read the rules which the committee had adopted. These rules are substantially the same a3 those which governed previous primary elections. The matter of allowing the inspectors, sheriffs and other precinct officials their wages was considered and the amounts fixed. The committee did not announce the assessments this afternoon up till 8 o'clock. A PARTITION SUIT. Ex parte proceedings were filed this morning in the circuit court by Jonathan Newman in the interest of David Hawkins and eight others. The parties involved wish a decree for partion of sixty-eight lots in the Hawkins addition to the city of Richmond, which includes the Nineteenth street show grounds. There are sixty-eight lots involved in the litigation.

(SCOFFS AT REPORT i !

Prominent Engineer Says Flood Won't Hurt Paris Buildings. MORSE ASSIGNS REASONS (American News Service) Pittsburg, Jan. 31. 'That the city of Paris and such massive buildings as the Louvre, Notre Dame and Pant'jeon are crumbling because of the flood, is a report that is either based on an excited imagination or some unannounced and unprecedented accident has occurred." declared E. K. Morse, president of the engineers society of Western Pennsylvania, chairman of the flood commission engineers and chief engineer of the Pittsburg Subway company. 'Every city between F'ittsburg and Cairo," continued Mr. Morse, "is flooded on an average of one to three times a year. Pittsburg often experience a 32-foot rise, Cincinnati has had a 72 foot rise and in 1SS4 I sailed into the city of Marietta. O., in a steamboat when water was up to the second floor of every building in the main portion of the city. Yet none of our cities have collapsed. "When modest $1,300 brick dwellings survive our floods, it is preposterous to believe that buildings like the Louvre and Notre Dame, masterpieces of constructions, are in danger of collapse." GETS TWO SENATORS President Lands Southerners Through Fear and Kindness. THEIR VIEWS EXPRESSED (American News Service) Washington, Jan. 31 .President Taft has captured two southern democratic senators, the first through fear and the latter through kindness. Gen. Gordon senator from Mississippi, called to pay his respects. When he left the White House he said: "Taft is the only republican president I was ever afraid of; Taft has so favorably impressed the people of my state that we have to look carefully that he doesn't steal it for the republican party " Jeff Davis, of Arkansas, the fire-eating democrat, although he has been in the senate three years, saw President Taft for the first time today. "lie's a fine man, a pleasant fellow. I lik? him bully," he declared. WAS MOSTLY CHILLY During the Past Week, Though It Was Warm at Brief Intervals.

A WOMAN WANTED TO KNOW (American News Service) Washington. Jan. 31. Mrs. J. Ellen Foster of this city, has received from Warden R. W. McCIaughrey of the Fort Leavenworth penitentiary a letter relative to the treatment beinpr accorded John R. Walsh, the Chicago banker recently committed to that institution. Eager to ascertain the truthfulness of the reports to the effect that special privileges were being accorded the former banker, Mrs. Foster wrote to Warden McClaughrey, asking for explicit information on the subject. Warden McClaukhrey, commenting on several newspaper clippings 6ent him by Mrs. Foster and which stated that Walsh was being "petted," said: "As to the writer of the clippings which you sent me, 'twere base flattery to call him a liar and a scoundrel.'

A CONFERENCE AT WASHINGTON WILL BE CRITICAL ONE (Continued From Page One.) and forcing through a county option bill. Then Democrats Won. At the election which followed in the fall of 190S the democrats won a sweeping victory. The brewers supposed they would luxuriate in clover. They had visions of a speedy repeal of the county option law and the substitation in its place of a ward and township act, pursuant to the declarations of the democratic platform. In their imagination they saw Governor Marshall, to whose election they had liberally contributed, using the his stick over the legislature to put this program through. But they were

doomed to bitter disappointment. The legislature did not repeal the county option statute. Governor Marshall turned his back on the brewers, figuratively speaking. He refused to have any dealings with them. The break between the governor and the brewers is complete. Whenever he happens to meet Crawford Fairbanks, Albert Lieber or any other Indiana brewer they do not speak, and he does not offer the faintest sign of recognition. Marshall Criticised Shively. Not only did the governor decline to make himself a party to a repeal of the county option statute, but he severely criticised Senator Shively when the latter, immediately after his election to the senatorship, came down to Indianapolis to work for the repeal of the objectionable law. and that was the beginning of the estrangement between Marshall and Shively, which has not been mended. This recital of inside facts throws a flood of light on the events that are now taking place, with Washington as the scene of activities. The brewers declare they never have received a square deal from the democratic party in return for the indispensable aid they rendered in wresting the state from the republicans two years ago. They propose that now there 'shall be a delivery of the goods which jthey claim belong to them. WATCH OUR WINDOWS We are continually replenishing them with bargains.
