COIISTITUTIOII OF ' THOMAS MARSHALL IS TO BE PASSED

Monday, Quite Probably, "The Sovr'n Power Uv th' PeepuP Will Come to Its Own "Hooray." (Continual From Fago On) nore potter to the pfople during the referendum and recall fights, ai the next to become their champion. "All power It Inherent In the prophi ho declaimed with vigor, and went on to ooth the spirits of Jefferson and Jackson, lest they roll over in I heir graves for the methods being pursued by the Democratic party. He was followed by Henator Moore, who raised the most strenuous objection to the great weight of the Democratic road roller In grinding the minority down so hard. The bill was called up when It had not been printed and on the desks of the senators a pull day before being considered. A Strict party vote had suspended the constitutional rules. He also came to the defense of the people and quoted with much sarcasm the section in the preamble of the constitution: t "We, the people of the State of Inplana, grateful to Almighty God for the free exercise of the right to choose our own form of government, do ordain this constitution." k He also ended with a warning that bowed his extreme solicitude for what the state would do to the Democratic party for framing a new constitution. He was followed by Senator Gavlt, who asked the majority members why they sat so silently without 'answering, and warned them not to become Intoxicated with the thirst for power. Breaks From His Party. f Senator Powers,' father of the skunk .'bill and defender of the little red school house and the splintered school bench, and a Democrat, added the .'most picturesque coloring of the afternoon. In a speech which held the enato closely, and which bad a nonpartisan ring of sincerity, he told why he could not stand with his party. "I have taken an oath to support this constitution." he said. "I regret parting company with brethren on this side, but I don't believe this is the way to make a constitution. I don't care if the whole senate Is against me, but I cannot act consistent to my conscience by sitting here and abiding by this method of procedure. I am an old man, and I am not coming back to the senate, but I remember" Here he told how his brothers had gone to the civil war, and one of them had lest bis life in defense of the stato nd bow he revered the constitution nd the great men who had framed It. When he bad finished he was Strenuously applauded by the minority Side. As each section of the amendments was taken up, the minority members kept up the thunder. Wood and Hanna leading the speaking. Senator Kist ler was In the chair, and the minority members spent much time haggling with him on his strict rulings. On one occasion, he ruled that Senator Wood had no right to speak, as he was attacking the constitution as a whole nd not speaking on the amendments. "As a member." he shouted, "I have a right to raise my voice when the rights of the people are assailed." "The rights of the people have not been assailed." said Kist ler. "They will have a chance to pass on this constitution. If the gentleman from Tippecanoe wishes, he may appeal from the decision of the chair." "As a citizen and as a senator I appeal," shouted Wood. The straight party vote with the exception of Powera" change, sustained the chair. In one of hts speeches, Senator llanna said: A Nice Little "Spat." "Tom Marshall shook his fist at the Democratic caucus and said: 'Pass this or I'll keep you here tin July, and only one of you has been brave Snougb to do w hat, he believes right." "Is tho gentleman speaking from knowledge er " started Senator Klstler. In the chair. "A point of order," said Senator Kane. "If the chair wishes to Indulge In debate, he must relinquish his gavel and come down on the floor." "Will the gentleman from Hamilton pteaso sit down." asked Kist ler. The gentleman sat down. "Now, what do you want me to do?" asked Hanna, and the minority broke Into laughter. From that time on the Republican onslaught became party horseplay, and ended In the in troduction of an amendment intro duced by Senator Moore which chane - ed the preamble to read, i. Instead of "we, the people of the state of Indiana." to "we, the governor and the Democratic legislative caucus." Vnder the stir of Democratic Ire, he withdrew the amendment, after it bad been ruled out of order. The constitution probably will be passed without debate Monday and rushed to the bouse for action.

EARLHAM COLLEGE T00KJB1GTUMBLE Loses High Oratorical Honors Friday, Tumbling Into Fourth Place.

The props were suddenly pulled out from under the pedestal which held up Earlham college as a leader in intercollegiate oratorical affairs of Indiana at the state contest at Indianapolis last evening, the Quaker college tumbling from first place, secured in tho last three years, to fourth place. Wabash college jumped into the lead, its representative, Byron Price being given the decision of the judges upon the forceful presentation of his oration "Natural Forces and the Development of World Peace." It is the irst time Wabash has carried off first honors since 1884, when Dr. George L. Mackintosh, now president of the college, was declared the winner. Harvey Hartsock of DePauw was given second place, and Fred L. Schortemeier of Butler college and Francis J. Wenninger of Notre Dame were tied for third place. T. E. Jones of Earlham landed in the fourth division, one point behind the third place winners. Fred C. Mills of Hanover was fifth and Ralph Dobbins of Franklin sixth. Wabash Topped List. The Wabash orator topped the list three points ahead of the man who followed him. Mr. Price's oration was clear and simple In exposition, keen !fln cr I r an1 fAPftAnil In rfalirAPV and in logic and forceful in delivery, and in all a masterpiece of college oratory. Hartsock of De Pauw made a very fa vorable Impression upon the audience bis effort being both effective in thought and delivery. T. E. Jones the Quaker orator, spoke on the "White Slave Traflc." He made a strong appeal for better laws to remedy the present deplora ble conditions. His delivery ranked higher than the oration itself. The contest as usual was enlivened by college yells and songs. Tomlin son hall where the event took place was crowded with college students The De Pauw rooters, elated over the defeat of Earlham in basketball in the afternoon, led in the noise mak ing. Representatives of seven Indiana colleges, which are members of the Indiana Intercollegiate Oratorical As sociation at a meeting yesterday af ternoon at the Denison hotel decided that the delegate chosen by Hanover college shall be president of the Inter state Intercollegiate Oratorical Association for the ensuing year. By or der of succession set forth in the con stitution of the Indiana association the delegate from Hanover when chosen, also will become president of the state association. There is an order of succession set forth in the constitution of the inter state association also, and the choice of the president fell to Indiana this year. The representatives announced that other officers of the state associa tion will be distributed among the col leges according to the constitutional succession as follows: Wabash college vice president; Butler college, record ing secretary; De Pauw university, in terstate delegate; Earlham college, treasurer; Notre Dame university, corresponding secretary, and Frank lin college, executive committee. Horn er L. Morris represented Earlham. A BUILDING BOOM Indicated by Increased Busi ness of Loan Companies. Evidence that there will be much building in this city as soon as the weather moderates is indicated by the increased business of the loan associa tions in the last five months. Prac ticalJy one half of the building done in this city in the past few years wherein workmen have built their own homes has been made possible by the building and loan associations according to the officers of these in stitutions, who base their assertions from the records of the concerns. An official iu the Richmond Loan and Saving association declared Sat urday that West Richmond which has been built up in the past five years was almost entirely so through funds secured from the association. The same also Is true of upbuilding of the eastern part of the city. As an example of the increased business in the past five months, he said the records of the company showed there had been a hundred and ten new members taken into the association, the total number of shares which they secured being 430. The old members in several instances Increased their share holdings, the total number of new shares taken out by old members being 213. which makes the total number of additional shares of stock issued since October 1. 663. The company has increased Its capitalization to 1165.750. as a result. This is tiie greatest increase in the history of the organization and indicates to the minds of the officers that the old members increased their stock because they wished an investment which would permit Jhcni to build in the spring and this is also taken as the reason for so many new members enrolling. The association protects itself in all loans by mortgages on the property which is to be Improved.

Examples of how this method saves money for the tax payer were shown on Friday afternoon when two of the largest personal property owners paid in full their lilO taxes and which amounted to approximately $300. Had they waited until after March 1, they would have had to either list this mo ney for assessment or falsified con cerning it. By paying it before the assessment period, the two were able to save whatever the tax on $3000 would have been. TROOPS TO QUELL RIOTS OF STRIKERS (American News Service) Taylorville, 111., Feb. 25.
