UrTIUnLd -WAbtd Rep. Wise Enters Bill on the Theory that Party Economy Begins at Home. (Palladium HpetUI) ' Indianapolis. Feb. 22. On the theory that Democratic economy should begin, at borne Representative Wise Tuesday introduced a bill In the bouse changing the method of paying state officials, which would result in a big saving to the state. The bill fixes a urn for each office out of which the incumbent Is to pay bis help, retaining the remainder for himself. Ten offices are affected and in every case tlte amount named in the bill le less than is now appropriated for those ofIces. The salary for the governor's office 1s fixed at $12,000, which Is $3,900 less than tbo cblef executive and 'bis assistants now receive. The biggest re duction is maae in me auauor s omce where the salaries now total $42,560. Representative Wise thinks the office could be $32,000. The bill allows $10,000 for the secretary of state, whose office now uses an appropriation of $12,840. The treasurer of state, whose office now uses $12,700 would only have $11,000 with which to pay himself and deputies. The appropriation for the attorney general's office would be reduced from $18,900 to $15,000 under the bill and the clerk of the supreme and appellate courts would get $9,000 instead of $10,830 as at present. For the reporter of the supreme and appellate courts the appropriation would be cut from $10,200 to $S,000. . struct ton who now uses $9,920 would be compelled to get along with only $8,000 and the atate geologist would be reduced from $4,620 to $4,000. The state statistician would only have $11,000 to run bis department. ' Representative Wise says the bill la bis own idea, lie believes state offlcoa ahould be provided for in the same manner as are county offices.

Miss Ber tha Schroeder escaped facial disfigure ment and possible serious injury when her head was thrust through one of the large windows in a street k car, sending the shattered glass flying, in every direction.' Her escape was due to the fact that she wore a big hat. The car on which Miss Schroeder was a passenger was crowded, and many persons were standing in the aisle. The car rounded a curve so sharply that many of he passengers standing lost their equilibrium. Two or three of them lurched over against Miss Shroeder and her head was forced through the window.

All INDICTWIEHT OF BOSS GEORGE COX Charge of Perjury Returned ? Cincinnati Politician . Gives a Bond.

Cincinnati. Feb. 22. George 13. Cot, Republican leader of Hamilton couuty ami', well known as an t important factor in state and national politics, was indicted yesterday by tho Hamilton county Grand Jury on the chaise of perjury. Mr, Cox received the news at the office of the Cincinnati Trust company, of which he is president, and went at once to the court house, where he gave bond in si.tHRr for his appearance when trial is called. . ' The indictment alleges that he committed perjury on March 21, 1906 when he appeared before the January term of the grand jury of that year and denied that he had ever received any x portion or me requisites or interest gratuities which for many years banks had paid to county treasurers for the use of money left on deposit w ith them. From tho fact that former Treasurer Gibson had been instructed by the court Monday to answer certain questions propounded to him by the present grand jury the inference is drawn that Mr. Gibson's testimony was regarded by that body as sufficient to warrant Mr. Cox's indictment on the charge of perjury. Dramatic incidents attended the presentation of the indictment in the court-room, but the sensation " that ordinarllly would have been produced by individual had been largely discount ed by persistent rumors of such action. . When he returned to his office at the bank Mr. Cox dictated a statement reiterating the truth of his testimony of 1906 and expressing his view of the proceedings of yesterday. He seemed especially hurt that attack should have been made on his veracity, declaring that more than anything else he had always prided himself of being a man of his word. WASHINGTON, D. C.
