There was an enthusiastic outburst In the meeting at republican state headquarters at the Claypool hotel yesterday afternoon when State Chairman Lee announced that ex-Vice President Fairbanks had promised to take part In the present campaign- This was regarded as one of the very Important developments of the campaign work thus far. For mer Vice President Fairbanks Is tine of the popular men of the state, and there are thousands of republicans in Indiana who follow bis lead. . The meeting was called by Chairman Lee some days ago. Notices were sent to all of the members of the state committee, the executive and advisory committees, all of the state candidates the congressional candidates and many of the party workers throughout the state who are 'neither candidates nor members of committees. Chairman Lee told them that the meeting would be devoted to a discussion of plans for the campaign. Organisation was to be the main topic for consideration at the meeting. - Hundred Were Present About a hundred of the party leaders from all over the state attended the meeting, ' representing all of the ele ments and factions la the party. They casta together on a common ground and all entered into the discussion of plans for the redemption of Indiana from 'the democrats this fall. It was perhaps the most Important meeting that will be held during the campaign for the plans which -were discussed and adopted will be followed through out the fight. Chairman Lee presided at the meetIng. When he assumed the chair he told the meeting that be had an Important announcement to make, and then he told of his conference with Charles W. Fairbanks. He said he called on Mr. Fairbanks at his home In this city yesterday forenoon and had a long talk with him on republican political matters. He said . he asked Mr. Fairbanks to give the state commute as much of his time during the campaign as he possibly could spare. He told him that already many requests had been received at the state committee headquarters for speeches by Mr. Fairbanks, and that many of these requests were very In sistent. Fairbanks Interested. Mr. Fairbanks told Mr. Lee that he would place himself at the disposal of the stats committee and that he would give all of his time to the Indiana campaign that he possibly could. He said that he had already accepted a few sneaking dates from the repuhll can congressional committee, but that all of the rest of his time he would place at the disposal of the state committee for the state campaign. He expressed great Interest In the out ' come of the campaign and hoped tor III VI IWV HIHS KVIIUII' can ticket from one end to the other. Chairman - Lea said he was greatly pleased with his conference with Mr. Fairbanks and that he felt that the active participation In the campaign by the former vice president would mean much to the republican party la this state this year. When he made his statement there was loud applause In the meeting which was evidently elated over the fact that Mr. Fairhanks would be heard on the stump thta year. It Is true that many requests have been received at headquarters for speeches by Mr. Fairbanks, and now that It is known that he will take part la the campaign It Is likely that these requests will multiply and that they will come from probably every coanty In tbe state. While It will be Impossible for him to fill all of the dates which win be laid for him, Mr. Fairbanks will certainly make many speeches for the ticket. Many Things Discussed. The meeting took up and discussed Oestlons relating to organisation. Final arrangements were made for the whirlwind organisation campaign which Is to sweep over the state next week from end to end and side to side FtTteen teams of five or six men each give been assigned to this work.

"JIM CROW" SEATS -

Section for Negroes Has Been Set Aside in a Five Cent Theater. ASKED TO USE LAST ROWS Jim Crow restrictions have been es tablished by the management of a local nickel theater but not altogether successfully as yet. The management Is endeavoring to have its colored pa trons occupy the last row of seats. The five cent theaters have become popular amusement places for both colored and white and some complaint has been made In regard to a mixed audience. The colored patrons have been In the habit of taking any seat In tbe house. Although the Indiana laws do not provide for Jim Crow restrictions, nor do city statues. It Is the opinion of a local attorney that the management can divide its patrons as It sees fit, providing, however, tbe facilities of the Jim Crow section for seeing the show are equal to those of the other parts of the house.

Paris, Aug: 6. This grewsome picture shows the 7 famous guillotine, which is used to execute all French criminals. At the present time there Is a strong wave of sentiment in favor of abolishing this relic or barbarism. A fact which adds to the horror of tbe situation Is that, all executions are public. ; For this reason, capital punishment is not a frequent occurrance in France, but recently there have been a number of executions, prominent among which' was that of Liaboeuf, the notorious -apache. So serious was the expression of public feeling at the execution, that It Is believed the authorities will soon take i steps to abcflish the buillotine. This murderous-looking machine first came into prominence during
