According to a decision reached by the committee two kinds of memberships will be established in the future. The first is a sustaining membership with annual dues of $5, which will ad mlt the holder and family to all ex hlbtts, lectures and entertainments held during the year by the Art association and also gives a vote to the holder in the annual meeting of the association. The other, an active membership, is assessed an annual fee of 50 cents admitting the holder to all exhibits, lectures and entertainments of the association without giving a vote in the annual meeting. The directors of the association feel since the new gallery will be available during the entire year for various exhibits and lectures, that the work of the association can be made even more interesting and valu able than heretofore, and that money paid out for annual dues will bring to the members a rich return in culture and enjoyment. It Is believed that practically all the old members will join the association this year and that many new names will be added to the enrollment. The membership cards are now being placed in the hands of the members of the finance committee, who will have entire charge of this phase of the work.

CASE TO REMAIN IN INDIANA STATE COURT Alleged Efforts of Company to Have It Transferred to Federal Court Have Not Met With Success. The law firm of Robbins & Robbins of this city, has been engaged to represent the C. & O. Railroad of Indiana in the suit to revoke its charter, filed recently in the Cass county circuit court at Logansport, by the State of Indiana, at the instigation of Governor Marshall, who alleges the corporation obtained its charter on false representation and for fraudulent purposes. It is also alleged in the suit that the incorporation of the road and the subsequent issuing of a $40,000,000 mortgage, for improvements, which would permit an expenditure of $200,000 per mile, is merely a blind for unscrupulous financial operations. It is understood the company has made an effort to have the case taken out of the state courts and transferred to the federal courts, but in this effort has been unsuccessful as one of the incorporators of the company, Harry C. .Starr, of Richmond, is a citizen of Indiana and, consequently, the state can obtain service upon him. Heard at Logansport The case, consequently, will be heard in the Cass circuit court or the court of some neighboring county, in the event the defendant company, asks for and obtains a change of venue. John P. Robbins, senior member of the firm of Robbins & Robbins, has Just returned from New York where he met with the general counsel and assistant general counsel of the C. & O. system and was commissioned to defend the subsidiary corporation in the case filed by the State of Indiana. Robbins & Robbins were for many years local attorneys of the C. C. & L., the name of the road prior to its sale to the C. & O. system.

S. cruiser Princeton today demanded the surrender of General Jose Maria Valladaras, governor of Amalpa, Honduras, and commandante of the Honduran fort there. The commandante defied the Princeton and sent word to the cruiser that he would fight to the death before giving up. It was reported that a detachment of marines would be landed from the Princeton to sieze Valladaras and pos sibly some of the most radical of his anti-foreign followers. It was also said that feeling is so high that a move on the part of the Princeton would result in open hostilities which would necessitate the occupying of the republic by American soldiers. President Davilla declared that he would move against the commandante at Amalpa but failed to do so. The British consul fled to a ship in the harbor amid showeFS of bullets. An English cruiser is enroute to Amalpa. Valadaras ignored the orders from President Davilla. He tartly replied he was running the port of Amalpa. International complications are imminent.
