REV. A. IIEEDHAM MAYBE VISITED BY A COMMITTEE And Asked to Show Cause for Entering Complaint Against McMullin for Punishing His , Young Son.

FUGITIVE IS STILL HIDING IN COUNTRY But It Is Anticipated He Will Soon Give Himself Up Sympathy for the Kentuckian Is Expressed. (Palladium Special) Dublin. Ind.. July 28.-Late tola atteraoon it Is rumored about town that some action will be Instituted agaln.t the Rev. Alvernis Ncedham. Chris tian minister, for him to show cause why he awore out the warrant against Emanuel McMullin. who pursued by Incensed sub-deputies returned Are which bad been opened on him, and ii at present hiding some place In the woods south of here. t Jim McMullin. the young boy whose father whipped him for throwing a atone through the glass front of an automobile a few; days ago. It is stated by a number of reputable citizens, does not show marks or Indications of 111 or inhumane treatment. It is considered doubtful as to wheth er or not the community has the legal , right to delve Into Rev. Mr. Needham's doutn lor wearing w me warraui which nearly turned the community into a several days warfare. Sympathy for McMullin. A. canvass of the better element of the town shows public sentiment to be inclining toward McMullin and against the minister, who declare that . . he has done no wrong. It Is believed that a committee from among the older residents of Dublin will be selected to confer with Prose cutor Ladd regarding the matter with a view to setting an example against the repetition' of such, extreme actions as the authorities took against McMullin on a warrant of such lightness as la out for him. 8aner persons of the town state freely that they are Terr glad Meredith appeared on the scene as soon yesterday afternoon as he did, as he served to frustrate the organisation of an overwrought and excited party of younger men, who planned an armed attack on the Holllngsworth home In the upper part of Fayette county. Meredith's final order yesterday afternoon when he left the city to the effect that There shall be no violence ot any sort in the capture of this man," has been observed. It ts expected that as soon as Mc Mullin realises that he Is not to be banged or sent to prison for his offense he will voluntarily give himself up. Unverified reports from the Lambert neighborhood Indicate that Tice Holllngsworth, father-in-law of McMullin Is trying to secure the aid ot friends of the family to pay whatever fine may be Imposed, If a Justice's court should assess any. "ARMY" SEEKS FUGITIVE. (Staff Correspondent) Dublin. Ind., July 28. Emanuel Mc- ' Mullln. Kentucky mountaineer and fugitive from justice, who after being fired on by a posse of sub-deputies at Dublin, Ind., yesterday morning, . returned leaden retort. Is still at large. The pact made between Sheriff Meredith and the Holllngsworth family. . McMullin's relatives at law, was not fulflllled last night nor today. McMullin was to be persuaded to give up himself to the Dublin deputies. "The charge for which McMullin U sought did not warrant the extreme measures to which the Dublin authoritles went. That warrant did not read 'dead or alive. So far as his whipping his child Is concerned, I believe every parent has the right of correction. It seems that a petty neighborhood (Continued on Page Five.) Q. Q. C.

ANOTHER BRIBERY SCANDAL CHARGED

Chicago Tribune Alleges Attempt Was Made to Buy Hopkins' Seat. A BIG CORRUPTION FUND NEW ACCUSATIONS AS STARTLING AS THE ONES CONCERNED WITH RECENT LORIMER BRIBERY SCANDAL. (American Nwi Service.) Chicago, July 28. That an attempt was made to buy seventeen democrat votes for Albert J. Hopkins for senator early in the session of the last general assembly in January, 1900, is the charge made by the Chicago Tribune today. The alleged attempt at bribery followed the first futile attempt to elect a United States senator.. Hopkins was the occupant of the office at that time. The new accusations are as startling as those made so recently that William Lorimer-who was elected to the office gained the honor through the bribery of state assemblymen. Trials tn this case are now pending. The Tribune., says:' Thirty-five thousand - dollars was the' fund supposedly available for the purchase; fc!.000 a head Was the price agreed, on; the sales agen for the democrats were two members ' ot hardly more than minor Importance on. the minority side their names not being known and the block ot necessary votes had been selected and ready for delivery. "As In the case of Mr. Loiimer later so then In the case of Mr. Hopkins the philanthropists who in the one case did and In the other case were to furnish the money, remain unknown."

INSANE HOSPITAL AT MADISON OPEN FIRST 0F AUGUST New Institution Will Stand as Monument to Republican Administration of Financial Affairs.

WILL REMOVE GREAT BURDEN TO COUNTIES Will Relieve Them of the Care of Hundreds of Insane People Accommodations for 1,000 Furnished. (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, July 28. The new Southeastern Indiana Hospital for Insane at Madison will be opened on the first day of August, and it will 6tand as one of the monuments to republican administration of the financial affairs of the' state. This magnificent new Institution has cost $1,527,G9S.3:. The last legislature made an appropriation for its maintenance, the money to be available as soon as the hospital was completed and ready for occupancy. This money will now be ready for use. While the price which the state is paying for the construction of the hospital appears to be large, the institution is a fine one, in keeping with the importance and dignity of the state. And It will mean that the various counties of the state will be relieved of the burden of taking care of hundreds of insane persons who are now confined In the county poor houses because of a lack of room for them in the insane hospitals. It is said that there is not a county in the state but what has insane persons on its hands. The opening of the ' new institution will afford accommodations for at least a thousand insane persons. Relieves Great Expense. Many inmates of other insane hospitals will 'be sent to1" the new place and the places thus madtf vfecant Vfil be filled with those unfortunates who are now in the poor houses and jails where they are a constant expense to the tax payers. Thus the new institution will be a big saving to the taxpayers of the counties. , 1 In addition to the new insane hos pital, costing a million and a half, the state has erected the new deaf and dumb institute which will cost when completed about a million dollars; the new tuberculosis hospital at Rockville at a cost' of $ 130.000, and Is finishing the village for epileptics at New; Castle. And the gratifying feature of all of this is that these great institutions have been built . by the state unde a republican administration without issuing a dollar's worth of bonds and without making any increase in the state tax levy. Here is a total of nearly $3,000,000 spent in the erection of these institutions for the care of the unfortunates of the state and every dollar of the cost paid out of the ordinary revenues of the state. All of these institutions were badly needed, and it was the theory of the administration that while the state was building them it should build them right Governor's Vacation. Governor Marshall if planning on leaving next week for hfsracation, but it is a question whether he will be able to get away at that time because of the South Bend strike situation and some other matters " which, are on hand.

IN STATEMENT TODAY BY

STEEL IIERVE SHOflll By Jersey Man When Facing a Terrible Death from Hydrophobia. ARRANGED F0R FUNERAL New York, July 2&-"You can't beat hydrophobia," remarked . James Hardy as he was carried Into the hospital at Bayonne, N. J., yesterday. "I knew last Monday I was going to die. I'll die before noon.". Hardy's prediction was accurate. He died in less than three hours after he had been admitted to the hospital Up to the time the convulsions got beyond the control of the doctors Hardy's nerve and coolness were amazing. He called on Dr. Cook of Bayonne, two days ago and exhibited a badly swollen arm. He explained that he was i bitten by a pet dog two months before. There were symptoms of blood poisoning, but no apparent symptoms of hydrophobia. Nevertheless, the doctor took every precaution. He expressed his honest belief to Hardy that the swelling could be reduced. Hardy went home, summoned Frank Dempsey, an undertaker, and cooly proceeded to bargain with Dempsey about a funeral. Hardly picked out his qwn coffin, told how many carriages he wanted to iollow the hearse, and wrote directions about collecting a life insurance policy, paying the funeral expenses and turning the balance over to his little niece. Then Hardy called In Father Rellly, pastor of St. Henry's church and took communion for the last time. , Nothing that Father Reilly could say served to dislodge the fantastic idea from Hardy's mind. When he had arranged his earthly affairs Monday night he took to his bed. Yesterday the pain and swelling in his arm had increased. Tuesday night he began to feel the convulsive tightening ' in the throat that attends hydrophobia.

City can buy the plant now or any time within the next 25 year for $700,000.

The Water Works situation seems to be on the way toward a settle ment A proposition by the company will be submitted to the city within a week. E. H. Cates this morning gave out the statement that the Water Works company would agree to a settlement of the contract situation along the lines set out in the above summary. While the details have not yet reached a concrete basis of settle, ment the main points are those involving an agreement on a present valuation, a division of earnings after the stockholders receive per cent on their investment; a provision for the city to buy stock if issued; In return for which the city grants a' contract for twenty-live years to the Water Works. ' PROPOSITION IS OUTLINED. "The proposition is - simply this," said Mr. Cates. . "First to agree on a present variation. We are willing to accept in the neighborhood of $700,000 for the plant now. The city can buy at that figure any time within twenty-five years. The town will undoubtedly grow and the valuation will be in force until the expiration of the contract so that the city ca$'' purchase the plant at the. end of twenty-five years at the same basis as it it were to make the purchase now. ."All we ask in the meantime is that we can assure our stockholders' 0 per cent interest on their Investment. This will mean the keeping ot rates at a figure which will take care of running expenses and depreciation. The city will be allowed to participate in half the profits In excess of 6 per cent and the stockholders in the other half. However, If the company's half share in excess of G per cent should go beyond a dividend of 8 per cent then the city will be allowed all In excess of that per cent in addition to the original division of earnings." ISSUANCE OF STOCK. . . In any event therefore, the stockholders would not receive more than '8 per cent.' . v

"The proposition also Includes a

sition. Certain provisions will be made under which stock will be

The city will be allowed to buy the stock Issued. It Is obvious that it stock is not Issued the value will be covered by the present valuation. ' ; "We believe that this outline is a fair deal to both the company and the city. By allowing us a contract for a long term we are enabled to market our bonds. The city is protected in that the natural Increase of the plant by the growth of the city and added services will be covered by its acceptance of the present valuation. That means that at the end Of the contract or during it the city can buy at the price set on the acceptance of the contract. I know that with the growth of the town In the nest twenty-five years the plant will practically double in value. That Is to say it will be worth a million and a half." . This plan will involve no Increase in rates and they will remain about the same unless the city desires to put its shares of the net earnings tits the reduction of water rates.
