LEGISLATURE

IS BIG FAILURE With Only One Week of Session Remaining, Legislative Jam So Dense That It Can't Be Broken. (Continued from Pago One.) tlon of the railroads and road contractors, although It was a platform measure to have a good roads law. ' Kven the bill to make autos pay a nominal tax for tho benefit of the road fund was killed. The promise to pass a coemployes liability law has not been kept, and now that tho proposed new constitution provides for the remote possibility of workmen's compensation law the argument Is being advanced that such a possibility does away with the necessity of a liability law. The Referendum Bill. Tho Grube referendum bill pne of the best pieces of legislation passed by the senate this session Is meeting with the same argument in opposition to Its further consideration by the house. The proposed new constitution If It is ever adopted, makes it barely possible to have a referendum lay. Therefore why puss the Grube bill? The Jackson legal procedure bill after a hard ight in the senate, nearly met Its death twice on second reading In the house Thursday, tho margin being one vote. Its enemies, corioratlon attorneys, predict they will kill It on third reading. As for the recommendations of Governor Marshall, they have been given even less consideration than tho platform measures. So Imminent is the danger threatening the party because of the refusal or the Inability of the legislature, with a clear Democratic majority in both houses, to redeem any of the party promises or even live up to the party policies, that leaders have been sent for from all over the state to come to Indianapolis and remain until the adjournment of the session and belp break the jam. No such pressure to get a legislature to do what the party in power promised In its platform and upon the stump has been witnessed in Indiana for years. It was the hope of the leaders that the caucus Thursday night would break the jam. but it failed. They now center their hopes upon the caucus Friday night, which la to be upon plaform measures, if that does not causo the entiro program to move forward and tho deadlock now existing to be broken, it will be up to Governor Marshall. He can then choose between admitting the legislature he asked for is not what he wanted and be has had enough of It, and calling It back into an extra scsslou. OUT OFJBSCURITY Comes the Smoke Ordinance Into Spotlight. Within a month the smoke ordinance will be placed In effect provided the consumer on the boiler at the city hall proves as satisfactory as it has during the last week. At the elty hall It is thought tho beating apparatus is working much more satisfactory than before tho consumer was placed. The ordinance provides that sufficient time shall be given manufac turing establishments to place consumers and, put them in operation. This period ranges from one to six months according to the boiler. Mayor Zimmerman said this morning that the crematory was in every way capable ,of meeting tho requirements of Richmond until next year, when he favors a new crematory being built. It was either do without the crematory or North K Btreet, aeeording to Dr. Zimmerman and the board choae to do without the crematory. MI favor the appointment of a temporary Inspector to test tho gas given by tho Light. Heat and Tower company." said the mayor. "He should be an expert. 1 thin City Aattorney Gardner's suggestion a good one and the board will follow it out." TEACHERS' "EXAMS HELD ON SATURDAY There will bo about seventy-fivo applicants for professional teachers' licenses who will take the required examination In the office of county superintendent ('. O. Williams, on Saturday. The test will be under the Krsonal supervision of President It. L. Kelley of Karlham college, who, as a member of the state board of education, was delegated to this position.

In that the latter are for twelve, twenty-four and thirty-six months. GOES TO BELGIUM FOR DRAFT HORSES Sylvester Cook of near Middleboro. left Thursday evening for Antwerp.

A Sketch Showing Correct Bowling Methods

2 O XA WOMAN DESERTED HER SICK HUSBAND And Robert Haines, Bedridden with Rheumatism, Goes to Infirmary. Giving no specific reason but the Inference that she was weary of continuing to care for her husband who for the past two months or more has been bedridden with inflammatory rheumatism at his residence, 203 South Sixth street. Mrs. Robert Haines quietly packed her clothes on last Monday and departed without a good bye, purchasing u ticket for some point In Michigan, according to information which has been given to Wayne township trustee James Howarth, who has had the family on his alms list during the winter. Confronted with the seriousness of his situation and dependent entirely upon the aid of neighbors, Haines accepted the suggestion of the trustee that he become an inmate of the county infirmary until he is again well enough to work. He will probably be admitted to the county infirmary next Monday, arrangements to this effect having been made by the trustee. Haines' affliction became so much worse In the early part of the winter that he not only had to cease work as a laborer at the Starr Piano company but had to go to his bed from which he has not been able to rise since, the trustee declared. The family funds soon ran low and without credit the family made application to the charitable organizations. Fuel and food were the alms principally bestowed. Up until last Monday, Haines, who has been much discouraged over his inability to get out and work, had endeavored to meet the situation ns cheerfully as possible, it Is understood and he never dreamed of the dissatisfaction under which his wife was la boring, it being his belief, he told the trustee that she appreciated it was the best that could be done under the circumstances. Since Monday neighbors have been caring for Haines, preparing his food and doing other kindnesses much appreciated by the sick man. However they could not give him the attention which his condition demanded as their own duties necessitated that they spend much of their time at their own homes. Haines is about forty years old and bears the reputation of being an excellent workman. STEEN GOOD LOSER Smiles Despite Slice His Salary. from Sheriff Albert Stecn appeared in the circuit court on Friday smiling despite the fact that the decision of the supreme court, relative to the "in and out" fee law. will mean he will lose about $S00 during his term of office. The loss in the fees which will cut Into his wallet rather severely, did not seemingly affect the geniality of the big official. The higher court held the law was unconstitutional. Since March 1, 1909 the sheriffs of the state have been collecting 25 cents each upon admission and release of prisoners. The number of prisoners which have been admitted and released from Wayne county jail averaged the sheriff between $150 and, $200 a year in fees. Several years ago the then existing law regulating the payment of such fees was repealed, but the state sheriffs organization had the legislature of 1909 pass another law. They have been collecting the fees under this law, which when tested in the courts was declared invalid. HAYTI CITY BURNS (American News Service Port Au Prince. Hayti. Feb. 21. The city of Aux Cayes on the southern coast, has been destroyed by fire suspected to be of incendiary origin. Twenty thousand people are homeless.

(Til Sill A BILLIONAIRE IS ALMOSnNKNOWN Man Richer than Rockefeller, Living Alone, Is Now Seriously 111. (American News Servlce St. Paul, Minn., Feb. 21. Although Frederick Weycrhauser, the billionaire lumberman, who is reported as critically ill at Pasadena, Cal., has made his home in St. Paul for many years he is almost as little known to the people of this city as to the public in general. And this despite the fact that he is believed to be the richest man in the United States, richer probably by some millions of dollars than John D. Rockefeller, whose nanip Is synonomous for riches in almost every part of the civilized world. Weyerhauser, with his timber land possessions aggregating 30,000,000 acres, is said to be worth close to $1,-

230,000.000, which at the present ratelprehend the alleged criminal, who is

of advance in lumber increasing by leaps and bounds. The personality of Frederick Weyerhauser is little known. He is a recluse and his own business associates have never shared his secrets. His home life in this city is quiet and simple. Kven to those who know him best he is a living puzzle, an enigma, a mystery. Born In Neidersaulheim, a hamlet of southern Germany, in 1834. he worked as a farm laborer until his eighteenth year, when he made up his mind to seek his fortune in a land where freedom played a more prominent part than it did in south Germany at that time. So in 1S52, accompanied by his mother and sisters he( crossed the ocean. Settling first in Erie, Pa., he found work in a brewery, but migrated four years later to Rock Island, Illinois, where he got employment at $1 a day piling slabs in a sawmill. In a little more than .a year he owned the mill. In a fellow-worker at the mill, F. C. A. penckman. Weyerhauser found a fel - low countryman, destined in after years to be a close ally in all his schemes and enterprises. Together they bought the other men out of the business, and soon found themselves free from debt and with enough capita! to enable them to strike out with boldness and confidence. From the time he acquired his first sawmill until the present the life of Mr. Weyerhauser has been a slow, unceasing, steady grind of buying timber cheap, selling it at a profit, then acquiring still larger tracts. He first visited Wisconsin and Minnesota where he discovered lands, rich in timber, that could be purchased for a few cents an acre. He and his partner bought the lands. Sawmills were constructed, and money began to roll in fast. Mr. Weyerhauser. as the leading spirit in the partnership, created the little known and mysterious "Weyerhauser syndicate," which soon was acknowledged by the lumber world to be the most powerful factor in the trade. The Mississippi River Boom and Logging company, of which he was elected president in the early eighties, has ! always been the base of his known transactions. Master of the marvelous forests iu

Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan andjure to provide is also alleged. The In Washington and other states in the complainant also petitions the court far Northwest, Weyerhauser in time for custody of the child and alimony

came to control most oi me logging aone on tne .Mississippi. Me nas ueen able to fix the price of logs, the price of handling them on the rivers, the price of sawing them, and the price of the finished product. And in all this, he shunned publicity like the Grand Llama of Thibet. Though possessed apparently of an unquenchable ambition, he has never made a display of his wealth. The simple life of their earlier days has satisfied hi mand his family. He has never cared for yachts, automobiles, fast horses and other luxuries common to the millionaire class. His four sons all received excellent educations, but were obliged to work in the lumber camps and go through tie mills, as their father did before them.

JUMPED HIS BOND AND NOW MISSING Warden Perrv. Accused of - rf. Brutally Treating Wife, Can't Be Found. For the first time in the history of the city court a prisoner has jumped his bond. This morning when the as sault and battery case against Warden E. Perry was called the prisoner was missing. His bondsman, Henry Per ry, a brother, told the court the man had not been seen since he was released from jail, on the $50 bond. Henry Perry paid the bond this morning.. When asked where the prisoner was he replied to the court: "I don't know. Here is the money. I thought that he would be here and intended for him to, but I have not seen him since he was released. I have no idea where he could have gone." Perry spoke without surprise and seemed to have expected a forfeiture of the bond. The court immediately ordered that effort be made to apaccused of extreme ill treatment of his wife. The police will probably send descriptions of Perry to several Ohio points where Perry is suspected of having gone. His Wife Is Sorry. The woman expressed regret that her husband left, but did not seem surprised. She said she wanted him prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Perry would have probably got the limit, according to the police, as the woman said she would swear to hjs alleged inhuman treatment of her. The maximum penalty is $500 and costs and six months in jail, accord ing to some local attorneys although others claim that the maximum is only $23 and costs and 30 days. The woman's father, and brothers think the bond was placed low and that it should have been at least $5,009. When asking for a continuance of hearing, after his arrest. Perry said he wanted time to get an attor ney Thorn was a Inrirf rrwl aKKPtrihlpri ,at po,ce court tQ hear the caMf Jt was one of tho most remarkable that has ever been before the local court. According to John Reicker, a broth er of the prosecuting witness, if Perry had not escaped he would probab ly been hung or tarred and feathered. He said he had been offered assistance numerous times by persons in the North End who wanted to form a mob and get the man. Reicker wonders that the prisoner was not attacked after he was re leased. It is said that he secured a paper containing an account of the episode, and taking it to his wife, demanded to know whether she told the prosecutor of his alleged maltreat ment of her. When she told him she had done so, he immediately fled, fear ing mob violence or a long jail sen tence. A MUSIC TEACHER ASKS FOR DIVORCE John Shallenburg, a well known young man, is alleged by Jessie Shall enburg to have forsaken her and their child on February 20. 1909. thir ty-five days after the ceremony was performed, in a divorce comnlaint fil- - ) - .h countv clerk on Fridav.

Before her mar riage she played in the orchestra of a local theater. SPEND FORTUNE IN A FUTILE EFFORT (American News Service Erie, Pa, Feb. 23. Alton V. Hoot er, twice convicted of wife murder, was legally hanged this morning. His aged parents spent nearly fifty thousand dollars, impoverishing themselves in a futile attempt to save their son from the gallows.

MECCA OF BOWLING

wnoi n ic diiccai n UUIILU 10 UUIIHLU National Bowling Associa tion Tournament Will Start Saturday. (American News Service) Buffalo. Feb. 24. The bowling world has shifted its gaze from St. Louis, where the annual tournament of the American Bowling Congress recently closed, to this city, which will be the scene of the fifth international tournament of the National Bowling association. The tournament will open on Saturday in Convention hall and continue to March IS, while the convention will be held on March IS. Although the National Bowling association is essentially an Eastern organization, the central location of Buffalo has attracted a large numoer of entries from the Middle West and from Canada. The most prominent bowlers in the country will compete, and the promoters are confident of seeing some new world's records established. The entries include nearly 400 fivemen teams, S00 two- man teams and 1,500 individuals, while the cash prizes to be distributed range from $20,000 to $25,000. J New York City will send a big representation, and feels confident of carrying off the hog's share of the purse, as it did in the Baltimore tournament in 1909. In this meet the Chalmers team of Detroit, Michigan, won the five-men team event with a total score of 2917; with the Corinthians No. 6, of New York, second; the Brunswicks of New York, third; and Yonkers, N. Y., fourth. First honors in the two-meii event were captured by Burdine-Eckstein, of Washington, D. C, with a score of 1305; Kramer-Prio of Brooklyn, finishing second with 1264; KriethtonLendbetter of Baltimore, third, with 1242. Individual honors were won by Tony Prio, of Brooklyn with a score of 705 for three games. This equaled the world's record in this event established a few months previous at the Amer ican Bowling Congress tournament by Thomas Haley, of Detroit. In this event H. Ritter, of Philadelphia came in second with a score of 679; G. Froman, of Newark, third, with a score of 674; and L. Lucke, of Brooklyn, fourth, with a score of 670. Many of the teams which contest ed in the American Bowling Congress tournament at St. Louis, are entered for the Buffalo meet, and in this con nection, the results of the St. Louis contest unusually interesting, as af fording a method of comparison. In this meet Chicago carried off the majority of the five-men events, taking the first five places. The highest score, 2924. was made by the Flenners. This is 38 below the world's record which was established by the Lipmans, of Chicago in the A. B. C. tournament of Pittsburg. The best this team could do in the St. Louis meet, was eleventh. First place in the individual event was captured by J. Blouin, of Chicago with a total score for three games of 6S1. The world's record for this event is 703, as stated above. Mr. Hartley and L. Seller, of East Liverpool captured first honors in tho two-men event, with a score of 1246. The world's record for this event is 1318, and was established by John McGuirk and John Grady, of Patterson, N. J., in the N. B. A. tournament held at Rochester in 1908. Jimmy Smith, of Buffalo, had the highest individual average in all events, his score being 1919, which is 42 below the world's record established by Thomas Haley, of Detroit, Michigan, at the A. B. C. tournament in Detroit in 1910. Smith is one of the active workers in the Buffalo tournament. CONTINUES ADDRESS Beveridge Resumed His Attack on Lorimer Today. (American News Service) Washington, Feb. 24. What is believed to be the final assault upon William Lorimer's right to hold his seat as senator from Illinois was made in the senate today by Senator Beveridge. When Beveridge resumed his speech many of the senators left the floor. There was a parliamentary flurry in which Senators Burrows and Heyburn attempted to force Beveridge out of his right to the floor after he had begun speaking. Burrows asked to have the Lorimer resolution laid before the senate for the purpose of taking a vote on it. Beveridge insisted that he bad given notice to speak, however, and that he had a right to the floor. The vice president ruled with him and Senator Beveridge then continued. , COURT IS PEEVISH AT SASSY DRUNKS After entering a plea of not guilty for drunk, John Carney and John Skein were confined to the city jail to await trial tomorrow when the witnesses could be produced. In the lockup the men changed their pleas and were fined $5 and costs by the mayor. Carney said he "guessed they might as well plead guilty for they would be found so anyway." The mayor got peevish and replied to Carney that his was no "might-as-well" court and "if you don't keep still 111 give you 40 days." . .
