1 v ' State Inspector Marvels at This, Which Is Common in Wet- Towns.: FINDS NOTHING CROOKED OOKt OF JUSTICES OF- PEACE OR CITY JUDGES ARE FOUND TO I ALRIGHT BY STATE DEPUTY INGHAM. Absolutely nothing crooked lias been found on the books of Justices of the peace or city Judges, so far In my examination," said George Bingham, traveling deputy of .the attorney general this afternoon. "A peculiar thing J And here," continued Mr. Bingham', "is the absence of the one-cent fine, which is so usual for Intoxication In 'wet towns, for Richmond surely is wet. Fines average very good here and yet I have not found a one-cent - fine. Besides the books being seemingly honest they are remarkably' well kept and I am getting aldng fast on' them. "In many cities and towns you And 1, 2. 3, 1, 25 and ." cent Anes for public intoxication! Also in Richmond 1 And a large number of Anes paid. Many places one finds many fines laid out," be said. . ' At the city hall Mr. Bingham began his investigation of the books of the city court, this afternoon. He examined the- books of P. J. Freeman and tomorrow will probably complete his Investigation of the former City Judge Will Converse's books. He said it would require the rest of the week in Richmond. The books of Justices Beyerle and 'Squire. Abbott have been examined and Mr. Bingham states they were satisfactory. . Mr. Bingham has made an examination of all. books of city Judges, mayors, and Justices bf the peace in the tabs with the exception of Ft Wayne where he will probably go from Richmond. ... . He has three suits pending now to collect Anes never paid by the city Judges or mayors to the county auditor. ' Two of these are In Evansville, and one at Indianapolis. The inspector ascertains the number of Anes collected and then examines the books of the county auditor and if all collected are not paid In. he demands the money from those delinquent. It Is rarely necessary to Ale suit, he says. PROBE WHEAT DEAL , (American News Service) Chicago. 'Augv 3. John C.

STEMS CASE IS NOW DRAWING TO CLOSE AT COURT (Continued from Page One.)

was sustained in his objections .to this testimony by Judge Fox. From testimony introduced the Juryknows nothing concerning the birth of the child except that the girl admitted she was a mother. The Jury Is Excused. Continual objections by Mr. Bobbins to questions of Attorney Johnson in his cross-examination of the Muey child, led the court to excuse the jury for a few minutes that the attorneys might argue the points of law. Mr. Johnson asked that the Muey girl be dismissed vfrom the room as he said what he Intended to state in bis argument would give the child a cue. She being the prosecuting witness, was not excused, but heard Mr. Johnson make his sensational charges. Attorney Johnson said that the defense had not stated its case to the jury, but be proceeded to do so to Judge Fox. He asserted that before the affidavit against Steins was sworn out in the early part of July, William Muey came to the negro and said his daughter was the mother of a mulatto. The attorney maintained that Steins was asked to pay $.'JM and some attorney fees which Muey had incurred. It Is charged that the child was born In Cincinnati, but an investigation on the part of Attorney Wilfred Jessup, who is assisting in the defense, and others divulged nothing of this character. - There was no birth notices on Ale. Authorities there, the attorney declared, knew nothing about the circumstance. . Young Hicks Ran Away. In referring to Sam Hicks, the colored boy, who Is in parts unknown, the 'attorney said that the Muey girl was his companion and that as soon as the boy learned of the girl's condition he stole a bicycle and ran away. The defense of this innocent man, said Attorney Johnson, will be blackmail and that there is no proof of a child being born in Cincinnati. Attorney Robbins, much perturbed at the sensation sprung by Johnson, said ' Johnson had made public what the plaintiff had sought to keep secret. He argued successfully that as the state did not charge intimacy between Steins and the girl after March 12, 1009, no evidence of their relations after this date should be admitted. Attorney Johnson took exceptions to every ruling of Judge Fox in which be sustained objections of the state's attorneys. . Girl as a Witness. The girl who is small, somewhat pretty and apparently in delicate health, followed her father and mother to the stand. She was dressed in white and wore a large straw hat of a style which girls of her age usually wear. Calm and composed and immediate in her replies to questions both on direct and cross examination she made a somewhat favorable impression. The history of her downfall as recited by herself was made the more pitiful in that it was told In a tone of voice audible In mora distant parts of the court room. Her testimony was greedily listened to by a large crowd in the public hall of the court room. For caring for Steins home she rereceived ten cents and her sister re ceived Ave cents. Her sister ajways accompanied her to Steins' house but was always absent she said, from. the house when she and the defendant were In one of the inner rooms, the doors to which, she testifies, were locked. When asked as to how she carried on conversation with the defendant. who Is almost a deaf mute, she said in an ordinary tone of voice. This admission called for an explanation and she said the negro could bear almost as well as any one when the days' were clear, but that he was ex tremely deaf when they were cloudy. Made Twelve Visits. The prosecuting witness declared that possibly twelve visits were made by herself and sister to the Steins' home, these calls extending from the winter of 1909 to August of that year. She said that she told her mother of her wrong on October 9. lf. She never talked with her father she said on this matter although she knew he had knowledge of the ' facts because she had heard her mother tell btm. No resistance was made by her to Steins' alleged attacks. The negro is said to have put his arm over her mouth. She testified that she was not afraid of the defendant doing her Injury if she told of their relations. The girl said that she and her mother and her., sister ceased working for Steins about a week after her confes sion. ". The mother had done his wash ing while the two girls helped in the housework, sweeping the rooms and washing the dishes. The prosecuting witness was-' excused from the stand at 4-XCt.

IS HELD BY VICTIM Dr. Gabel Says Dunlap Is More to Be Pitied than to Be Censured. NO REASON FOR ASSAULT INJURED MAN SAID THAT HE AND DUNLAP' HAD BEEN GOOD FRIENDS BUT MAN HAD CHANGED HIS ATTITUDE. "More to be pitied than censured is George Dunlap, who shot me Monday," declared Or. Harrison Gabel yester day afternoon to Pauper Attorney Will Reller who has been assigned to the defense of Dunlap who Is held at the county Jail on a charge of assault and battery with intent to commit murder. Continuing the injured physician said that Dunlap was worse off than he. He told Mr. Reller that several years ago he and Dunlap were rather good friends, but that suddenly the latter ceased speaking to him. He knows of no reason for the grudges which Dun lap has borne him for nearly ten years. Attorney Reller stated today that from his investigation he woula probably ask that an inquest be held on Dunlap. His plans will not be made definitely until he confers with Judge Fox who is now busy presiding in the trial of Robert Steins. According to the better class of citizens of Centervllle, Dun lap's mind is undoubtedly weak, said Attorney Reller. Dr. Gabel Is thought to be out of danger. He himself does not regard his condition serious. HE ASKS EXTENSION Tax Ferret Lowe Wants His County Contract Continued to December. IT EXPIRES NEXT MONTH Advice was given to the county commissioners to delay in extending the time on the contract of tax ferret, Washington E. Lowe to December 31, as petitioned for by the ferret. His time expires on September 1. The tax adjuster claims that he can . place thousands ' of dollars of sequestered taxables an the tax duplicate if the extension is granted. . ' Although the commissioners had not acted on the matter officially this afternoon, it' is understood they will delay a short time in considering the petition. It is understood that, the objection made to the county contract ing with a tax ferret to discover omit ted taxes is prompted because they be lieve the county 'and township assess ors should attend to this work. Lowe's contract both with the coun ty and with the city calls for the pay ment of a commission of thirty per cent on the total amount paid in on all sequestered property discovered by him. Wilfred Jessup representing Dr. S. E. Smith, superintendent of Eastern Indiana hospital this afternoon solicited the county commissioners to delay indefinitely consideration of construction of detention hospitals for, the insane. The commissioners practically decided to follow the advice of Dr. Smith, as the 'state institutions have more than sufficient accommodations for all persons who are adjudged insane in the next few- years with the opening of the South Indiana hospital at Madison yesterday. HAVE MADE PROTEST (American Newi Service.) Montreal, Aug. 3. Considerable dissatisfaction was expressed today by the rank and file of Grand Trunk strikers because the settlement reach ed yesterday didn't provide for rein statement of strikers, but it is believ ed all will eventually get their places back because the strikebreakers are nearly all inexperienced.

CUMMINS GREETED UJ ROWDY MANNER

Stand Patters at Iowa Convention riiss Him During His Address. HE SOUNDED THE KEYNOTE SAYS RAILROAD BILL DRAWN BY ATTORNEY GENERAL WICKERSHAM WOULD HAVE DISGRACED THE PARTY. (American News Service.) Des Moines, la., Aug. 3.- The repub lican state convention was called to order at noon today t Senator Cummins sounding the insurgent keynote in a4 .speech as temporary chairman. He declared that the standpatters in congress had repudiated the , pledges contained In the last national, republican ..platform regarding the tariff revision and ; he advocated the tariff committee as the logical method of rectifying the mistake made. Hisses and catcalls interrupted Senator Cummins during his address a temporary chairman, stopping the proceedings several, minutes. Cummins summed up a sentence by declaring that the "Party of Grant. McKinley and Roosevelt must never fail." Standpatters yelled "Why don't you include Taft?" , Cummins was also jeered when he bitterly attacked the administrations railroad bill as drawn up by Attorney General Wickersham. "This bill would have consigned the republican party to eternal disgrace and defeat" said Cummins. 's Address of Cummins. Cummins said: "There is not a republican anywhere who does not yield to the protective, system unreserved and unwavering allegiance. Aldrich, Lodge, Hale, Cannon, Payne and Dalzell may be its sincere and earnest advocates, but in zeal for its perpetuation and in the eloquence of its defense they cannot surpass Nelson, Clapp, Beveridge, LaFollette, Dolliver and Bristow. "There has been no controversy, and there can be. none, between republicans, as to the soundness or value of this doctrine. The diver gence appears when we come to apply it to international trade. "The logical sensible thing to do is to correct our mistake none but republicans can correct it and under the impulse of the sentiment, grow ing now by leaps and bounds every where, they will correct it and leave the republican name and republican pledge without a stain in all its wonderful history. , "Our course, it. seems to me. is set plainly before us. I do not favor an immediate general revision of the tar iff. Indeed I earnestly hope that we may never be compelled to enter upon another general readjustment of the system." GOES TO NEWFOUNDLAND. London; Aug. 3. The premier of Newfoundland, Sir. Edward P. Morris, who has been spending the summer in England, went to Bristol today on a mission of considerable interest to the American colony and the mother country as well. The chief purpose of his visit is to arrange for the acceptance of a tablet that is to be sent from Bristol to Newfoundland to commemorate the colonization of that part of the world by John Guy, a Bristol merchant, in 1610. While, in Bristol, Sir Edward will also look into plans for the proposed revival of trade between that city and Newfoundland through the establishment of direct steam communication. After a hard fight with the board of education Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, superintendent of schools of Chicago, has succeeded in having adopted a rule that-hereafter all applicants for principal8hips must be college graduates. In defending the new order Mrs. Young said: "There are many principals who are among the best we have and yet are not college graduates, but there is growing a broader demand for better trained principals and teachers." i Wi "THE CALL

X Out of fifteen thousand cases in which street urchins of this city have been arrested for violation of the city ordinances repsecting news selling and peddling President Lindsay of the Children's Society says not one broke faith with his organization. When taken Into custody each youngster was pledged to appear in court when wanted and released upon his own parole. With out an exception every one of them appeared when cited and took their medicine like little - men. As a rule the medicine proved to be kindly ad monition not to offend a second time against the majesty of the law. The disposition of the urchins to keep their word with the society Is looked upon as au encouraging sign, indicating a sense of honor among the growing generation that elves hope for a healthy, wholesome citizenship for the future. In former years the youthful prisoners used to be locked up over night in the society's rooms, the really wicked with the good and made to take their places next morning in line in the police courts, with thieves, murderers and malefactors of high and low degree. The new arrangement admirably vindicates the judgment of those who for years protested against these conditions. DIVORCE AND CUSTODY. Cruel and inhuman treatment are averred by Florence M. Tomlin in a divorce complaint filed this morning in the circuit court against Casa Tomlin, an employe in a local factory. .Custody of a minor child and alimony are also demanded by the plaintiff.

The finest rulings tbus far produced by any of tfae machines are at the rate of something like 200.000 to the Inch.

DELAY STREET WORK

City Has Heard Nothing from Saxton Company on the Eighth St. Matter. HAMMOND IS INDIGNANT Although a promise was made by the S. S.. Saxton Company, which has the contract for paving Eighth street from North to South A streets, to. begin the work August 1, they failed to do so and the board of works is wondering whether the company intends to do the work this summer. Presl-dt-nt Hammond of the board of works , spoke very indignantly this morning of the former board which drew up the contract with the company. "I'd like to see anybody draw up a contract like that with me," said Mr. Hammond. "It certainly was a poor 1 business proposition. I have no idea when the Improvement will be started. The company promised to be here now but they did not show up." Much of the delay is on account of the street car company not getting . rails and frogs. Because of the fall- ' ure of a large switch frog to arrive an old one was put in and it will have to be torn out in a few months. City Statistics Deaths and Funerals.
