ANGERED MOB

BEATS NEGRO FOR PEEPING But for Timely Arrival of Patrolman Fee, Frank Wade Might Have Been Lynched by Citizens. HE HAD TERRORIZED WOMEN IN WEST END .When Seen Looking in Window Wednesday Night Two Men Give Alarm and Lively Chase finsued. With the cry "lynch the nigger, an angry mob of Fairvlew citizens pounced on Frank Wade, an ex-convlct, on Sherman street late last night, and It Is said. If It had not been for the prompt arrival of a policeman the ne gro would have met a violent death. It Is alleged he was found peeping In several windows in Fairvlew and has been frightening women and children for several nights. - Wade entered a pica of not guilty to assault and battery.. .It .was. charged be hit several members of the crowd with fruit Jars. In police court thts morning instead of binding him over to the circuit court, which would probably meant his return to Jeffersonvllle to finish out an uncompleted term of fourteen years for grand larceny, the court was lenient and sent him to Jail for twenty days. Was Caught In Act. Fairvlew has been quite aroused over tho actions of the negro for several nights. 'as it Is charged he has been making a practice of peeping in the windows of houses in the vicinity. Last night when Walter Mulligan, 1169 Sherman street, was returning home, he was surprised to find the negro looking In his side window. Mulligan dashed to, a barber shop 'where several men were talking and in a few minutes they bad aroused a large crowd of men and boys, armed with sticks, stones 'and according to , the negro, some rope and revolvers, although members of tho mob deny this. The negro was surrounded, but he escaped and ran for almost a half mile before being captured. The mob made a great uproar, yelling, "Stop. thief. "Kill tho nigger," "Lynch him, etc. The negro, a small man, huddled Into a fence corner and when the mob dashed up he dropped on his knees and prayed for mercy, denying all sorts of things, promising others, begging and threatening all in a breach. Struck With a Club. The negro said one of the men who wore a white sweater, struck him a heavy blow in the face with a club and that he dropped to the ground. According to his statement the mob then debated whether to shoot, burn or lynch him, all the while administering a shower of sundry kicks and blows with their feet and with clubs. However, before any serious injury waa inflicted Patrolman Fee arrived on the scene and took the negro to headquarters for safe keeping. ' He was badly frightened but denied to Superintendent Gormon ' that he had peeped Into windows or anything else contrary to law. According to the testimony of William Ratllff and Walter Mulligan, both of Fairvlew, as the negro ran from the Mulligan home- he grabbed fruit jars from a fence which he hurled at different members of the mob, striking Mulligan several times. The negro denied this. " The police and the negro both state that bad it not been for the opportune arrival of Patrolman Fee there would have been a murder committed. No action will be taken against members of the mob, it Is believed, for no real harm was done other than giving the negro a good scare. It Is believed that such action will put an end to window peeping and like nuisances. In January, 1910. Wade was released ' form Jeffersonvllle reformatory, after having served 6 years of a 14 year sentence. He was convicted of clothing and meat robberies in and around Richmond.

FATHER OF HAWS - BROKENHEARTED Father of -: Young Railroad Victim Leaves City No Trains Run Today.

Work of removing the wreckage and clearing the track was begun yesterday as soon as wrecking crews of the C & O. and G. R. & I. railroads arrived on the scene. According to station employes of the road no C. & O. trains were run through the city today. In the event that the road cannot be placed in condition for traffic by tomorrow, which seems almost impossible, trains it is said, will be detoured over the G. R. & I. tracks to Lynn, thence over the Big . Four to Losantville where there Is a junction with the C. & O. The fact that the road at the point where the . wreck occurred is on the side of a hill and that the track was torn up, oy tne derailed cars lor a distance of - several hundred yards, greatly handicaps the wrecking crews In their work. C. & O. officials were In hopes that the track might be put in condition for travel by this' evening but they would make no definite statements. The roadbed will have to be entirely rebuilt for some distance. Coroner R. J. Pierce made an investigation of the wreck yesterday. He will probably render a verdict attributing the wreck to a spread rait, and Hains' death to injuries received in the accident. . . CHAIRMAN LEE ISNOW COUNTED OUT ( American News Service Washington.

DUTY OF DEALERS Makes Interesting--Address Before Indiana Business Men's Association. Tho Indiana legislature will be ask' cd to pass a bill which had the unani mous Indorsement of the Indiana Business Men's association with which many local merchants are affiliated. and which provides that the present garnishee measure be amended to a more model form. The bill provides for a levy of ten per cent of the debtor's income after judgment has been obtained. Tho legislative committee had a long session before reporting to the association meeting in the" Claypool hotel at Indianapolis on Wednesday. Lee B. Xusbaum of this city attended and responded to the toast "The Merchant as a Community Asset," said in part: "A man is bigger than his business; his value to the community should be greater than that of his merchandise. Not all of bis obligation can be met by buying and selling in the marts of trade. -It is sometimes salutary for the tradesman to take a personal invoice and strike a balance to determine his own worth as an asset to the community. "Each community- makes a direct contribution to the business interests of the merchant. There is always an unearned increment for which he is a debtor until the obligation has been discharged, and it is highly important that this obligation be recognized. ' "First of all the merchant is indebted to the community for the place to conduct a profitable business. It is true he pays a certain monetary consideration-for his location and' renders a certain service in addition thereto, but it is also true that there are elements in that location . that money alone cannot purchase for t'Je development of a Valuable location for a mercantile enterprise is the work of years and of complex processes . To offer adequate "financial compensation for all of these Is manifestly impossible. This is an obligation that cannot be met with ttie coin of the realm.'

OPPOSITION TO HIM Senator Borah Starts His Fight for Direct Election of Senators Fletcher Flays Ballinger. (American News Service) j Washington, Jan. 19: Senator Bev eridge stirred up the senate today when he demanded of Senator Snoot, chairman of Printing, when the senate might expect printed volumes of the special report of the commissioner of labor on conditions surrounding the employment of women and children in factories and mines. Beveridge called attention to his resolution pass ed by the senate nine months ago or dering the report printed. Only one volume has been printed. "Why?" asked Beveridge. Smoot answered there were 20 volumes and the delay was 1 in reading proofs, but the real delay was explained by southern senators. Bailey of Texas, and Overman of North Carolina. They declared the report attacked the South. Bailey said he had been told it was "unfit for publication." Overman declared the commissioner of labor admitted it should be "expurgated." Bailey said something about "federal officers meddling in our home affairs." It was evident tVio crkiifhoi-n cnatnre U'hn haVA Vifsn I fighting, the Beveridge child labor legislation had been exerting their influence to prevent or delay the printing of report. But Smoot promised to hurry it. Borah Starts Fight. . The big conflict over electing United States senators by direct vote of the people "was brought 'to the" ltoor of the-"feenate today. Pursuant to a notice which he gave early in the week Senator Borah, of Idaho, called up his resolution recently reported from "the committee on judiciary for submission to the states of an amendment to the constitution, providing for the election of senators by direct vote.

INQUIRY

COLONY PLAN FOR EAST HAVEN WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED

Dr. Smiths Recommendation for $50,000 for Such Purpose Turned Down by the Committee. NEW IMPROVEMENTS ARE VERY LIMITED State Not Generous with the Eastern Insane Hospital Because Its Treasury Is Shy of Funds. As a result of the legislative committee, which recently inspected the Eastern Indiana hospital for the insane at Easthaven, recommending appropriations for the institution for the biennial period ending September 30, 1913, totaling $64,000 less than the amount asked for by Dr. S. E. Smith, superintendent, the colonization plan, one of the latest and most modern methods in the care for the insane, cannot be established at the hospital at least until legislature meets again. Dr, Smith asked a total appropriation of $235,000, of which $60,000 was for the purchase of land for a colony, while the legislative committee recommends but $171,000, striking out colony appropriation entirely and reducing other amounts to make the difference. The reason(assigned by the committee for a reduction in the appropriation requested by the superintendent is the financial condition of the state, which they say, is such as not to jus tify the outlay. A New Greenhouse. The request of Dr. Smith for the appropriation of $5,000 to be used for the construction of a new greenhouse is recommended by the coramltee. In this regard the committee's report says: "The greenhouse is very small, old and inadequate. The great benefit the patients receive from the flowers and plants in our opinim justifies us in recommending that this request be granted. As regards the regular appropriations, Dr. Smith asks for $135,000 annually for maintenance, and $180 per capita excess over 750; $9,000 annually for repairs, and $5,000 annually for clothing. The committee's report recommends the appropriation of the first amount but reduces the latter to $1,000 each. As to specific, appropriations, Dr. Smith asks $12,500 for medical equipment,' $6,000 for sanitary improvements, $5,000 for greenhouse, and $60,000 for land for colony. The specific appropriations recommended by the committee are: $12,000, medical equipment; $5,000 for sanitary improvements, and $5,000 for greenhouse. Praise is Given. Under the bead of recommendations the report of the committee says: ' This institution appears to be admirably managed and the state gets fullest values for its appropriations we believe that all the requests made by the superintendent and board are consistent with the progress in the treatment of the insane, and we regret that the financial condition of the state is such that we are not justified in granting the request for additional lands that the colonization plan might be established at an early day. . t After giving a brief sketch of the establishment of the institution the report continues: , Succeeding legislatures have provided appropriations for additional ! cottages and numerous improvements and the institution now has nineteen cottages occupied by patients, an administration building, a cold store, a laundry, a service building, power house, parpenter shop, a paint shop, mortuary, two farm houses, two stables, a dairy barn, and the usual outbuildings for farming purposes. It is located on a farm of 323.23 acres, and the buildings are placed on a plaf of ground of about forty acres, and arranged in the form of a modified quadrangle, with the power bouse in the Center and the cottages on two sides and part of the front. -The normal capacity is now 801. with thirty beds reserved in thv hospital cottages for the sick. The report gives the following regarding the population of the hospital: What Population Is. Enrolled October 1, 1909.......... 810 Admitted during year ending September 30, 1910 .... ........146 Discharged, died or withdrawn same period ..................170 Enrolled at end of fiscal year, Sep tember 30. 1910 ..... ....... 786 j On furlough at end of fiscal year, 1 September 30, 1910 10 Present at end of fiscal year.

DEFINITE PLANS FOR ENCAMPMENT OF THE VETERANS Were Drafted Last Evening at a Meeting Held by Executive Committee of Richmond People.

SUB COMMITTEES TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON Final Effort to Secure Re quired Number"of Names to Morton Monument Petition to Be Made. - With the election of Lawrence A. Handley, chairman and Demas S.' Coe secretary of the executive committee of the Indiana G. A. R., Sons of Veterans, and allied women's organization's encampment, at the meeting of the committee last evening, plans for the encampment were brought to a focus and the preliminary work will now be pushed as rapidly as possible. One of the most important matters given consideration by the committee was the proposal to have printed a large souvenir program for the encampment, containing a biographical sketch of Wayne county 'men who took a prominent part In the civil war, and a history of the city with a number of views of Interesting sites. A program of this nature was Issued at the last encampment, held at Terre Haute, and was read with? interest by the thous ands of delegates who attended the meeting." It was the concensus of opinion among the membevs of the committee that no greater means of advertising Richmond and boosting the city could be employed at the time of the encampment. One of the sub-committees appointed will investigate the matter further. Committees Announced. . The executive committee, which is composed of Lawrence Handley, Demas S. Coe and Will W. Reller of the Young Men's Business club, George R. Dilks, Charles Slifer and John Zwissler of the Commercial club. Judge 'D.' W. Cottistock," John ' F." Davenport, and W. K. Young of the Sol Meredith post and William H. Hansche, Charles W. Jordan and George W. Matthews of the Sons of Veterans, named fifteen sub-committees. They are finance, hotels and private accom modations, press and' advertising, invitation and reception, program and camp, fires, parade, public order, regi mental reunions, badges and souven irs, music, decorations, halls and priv ileges, information, amusements and entertainment,- and transportation Each organization represented on the executive committee will . name one member of each of the sub-committees The proposition to bring the Tenth Regiment, U. S. Infantry to this city during the encampment to assist in the parade and give a number of ex bibition drills, will bo taken up with the commanding officer at Fort Ben jamin Harrison, Indianapolis. A re cent order of the war department provides that divisions ; of the regular army may not be sent to any festivals or carnivals except to keep order and assist the national guard, but may be detailed to patriotic meetings. Consequently it is probable the war department may sanction the local project. Accommodations a Problem. As pointed out by Lawrence Handley in a short speech after he had been named chairman, one of the most important features of the preliminary work will be the canya'ssing and securing of accommodations for the visiting delegations. As the hotels willbe entirely inadequate it will be necessary to call upon the citizens to provide rooms and board in their homes. This feature will be looked after by the committee on hotels and private accommodations, and also by the executive committee of the local Women's Relief Corps, Ladies of the G. A. R.; and the Ladies Auxiliary of the Sons of Veterans. ' It is expected that there will be a total of about 4,000 delegates and visitors in the city during the three days of the encampment. Of this number about 2,500 will be members of the G. A. R while the Sons of Veterans, Women's Relief Corps and Ladies of the S. of V. will probably be represented by aboftt 500 each. ' - Prior to the meeting of the executive committee, - a . general discussion was indulged in regarding the Morton statue, which it is hoped to have at least in ; construction by the time of the encampment.

COMMITTEE TRIMS TWO MILLIONS III STATPSJXPEIISES Legislative Committee, Appointed by Governor, Today Submits Results of Its Investigation.

CARRY OUT ECONOMY PLANS OF GOVERNOR Every State Institution Wanted Larger Appropriations Because of the Increase inExpense. (Palladium Special? Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 19. To thmember who takes himself and his jf.b seriously the legislature is not a laugh ing matter. It means hard work and . lots of It. The legislator who does what he should, puts in sixty days of about the longest hours and closest -work he ever experiences and ends t the session ready for a resf.l During the hours the legislature is in session ue iu ui cai neepins waicil , on the progress of bills and perhaps taking active part In the discussion. , To do this intelligently he must have - worKable knowledge of the bills, - - their purposes, "jokers"' , Influences , back of them and a multitude'of other things. In addition to this, he usually belongs to four or five important committees which meet every ' night and consider bills referred to them, take testimony, gather statistics, hear ar guments and finally decide upon what ; is right and just and legal. By no means a sinecure If properly lived, is the job of being a legislator. - , No committee or, set of men have , quite the work, however, that is ap- -portioned to the legislative committee. This committee is bi-partisan and rep, resents both houses of the'Iegislature. : It is appointed by the governor with? 1 In ten days after the general election In November and must be composed -of, two members-elect of the next house and one jft the senate, not more than . two members being of the same poW . tical party. It is the duty of this committee to visit and ' fully Investigate ' every penal, benevolent, reformatory, , educational or other institution of tho state which is supported in whole or , '. part by state aid, and to Investlgai. all state offices, boards, societies, com ' missions and other bodies created by the legislature and responsible to the . legislature as well as those receiving -aid from the legislature.' ' What Their Duty Is. It 13 the duty of this committee to," go into the needs of ail , these inutltu-4 tions and offices, audit their expenses and receipts for the past two years, as-1 certain what they want for the ensuing two years and then pass upon tlio.rc- . quests and make their recommendations to the legislature. Prior to tho 1 beginning of its labors this year, Gov- -ernor Marshall sent a letter to every . institution, : board, society, officer or commission which . the committee would t visit-and inspect, asking that '- all have prepared an Itemized state ment of their receipts, expenditures

and services of the past two years, together with all other data that might - be of assistance to the committee in a determining what was needed for the next two years. Those having requests ' for appropriations were asked to have there requests detailed with arguments committee's consideration. , w The committee this year consists of, Senator James J. Netterville, of Anderson, and Representative Joseph M. ' Cravens," of Jefferson county, botl. . Democrats;' and Miles J. Furnas, Republican . representative from Randolph county. The committee visited. " twenty state institutions; inspected forty state offices, boards and eommls- -slons, and considered hundreds of , pages of reports and figures presented to it I by tlie heads of the various institutions and offices. The wor&of the committee this year ' was especially laborious because the ' order had ' been ? given; to it that the -strictest ' economy mtu?t be observed . In its apportionment of the a ppropriatlons for the next two years, ? while everywhere it went: it was nie with requests for , greatly Increased .appropriations because of the higher prices of all foods,, clothing and nfaterlaJ as well as the necessity to meet advance in salaries.. In addition to hese requests every Institution wanted "more money for Improvements' T - u'. The recapitulation, of the demands ' of all the various-institutions and offices, which Is presented elsewhere in -today's Issue of the Palladium, com- . pared with . the appropriations recora-
