Thru tho clerk wa ordt-rod to road the nocturnal constitution to tho iiicinbern, which he did, discreetly skipping wholo phk h and ncctlons and paragraphs Hy tho time he hai finished Representative Kin ley off -red an amendmont tjthe document providing for a real blown-ln-the-bottlf initiative, referendum and recall. Fin ley protested that It was o'erod In sincerity and thnt It was koocI Jh'inocraHc doctrine, but his words fell on skeptical earn. It It Perfection. Nothing could he lirtter than the constitution uh AdoptI by tlw Democratic raucus: it wan superlative. To iittpmpt to improve it would he like painting the lily or purifying pure gold. So Representative Cravens made the suggestion that tio flimsy lie publican amendments be tolerated and Fin ley amendment went down and out. It wan at this time Kuchbach delivered his Houl of Its pent-up emotion and hurled hi javelin tmiack-dab at the Democratic hack driver, lie nld he bad been a member of Hie ltRilaturo for general lonti but never alnce a lot of Ingraten dropped the beans that made Socrates drink himself to death bad he ever witnessed such outrageous conduct. Mere was the tromenduous ttubjoct of ti new constitution for Indiana. Introduced at 4:15 Standard time, and being acted on with indecent battle at 4:10. He aald It wait very important to have a good constitution, and he wan Irrevocably agalnxt ready-made, hand-me-down constitutions. They didn't fit. The' shoulders didn't match and fhey always bagged at the knees while the first time they underwent a strain the owner had to excuse himself and hire a cab In order to get home with out being arrested. And besides. Kschbach claimed this constitution was made In a scab shop. He never bad oen such constitution; It had everything from the pip to bubonic plague und It should be quarantined. Moreover he didn't think much of the men who were gadding around with the constitution as proposed. He said they had a lot of nerve and should be ashamed of themselves. As for the rude and Insolent manner in which they. Insisted upon Introducing it into the best of society his language failed Mm. It was simply shocking. He told the speaker that the parliamentary procedure reminded him of a ttrect car strike. At this juncture Representative Horry discovered .he had been talking when bis name was called and he jumiied straight up and down and yelled that his rights as an Dmerlcan fit lYun were being abridged and he wanted hla name called ngaln. when he was listening. The speaker after Koothing Representative Horry into a eon versut tonal tone, asked him how he wanted to vote. Gavel Is Bandaged. "I vole No!" screamed the representative from Wabash. "I thought so!" said the speaker, as lie patiently wrapped a piece of red flannel around the Inflamed gavel, and shifted the natural leaf to the other ehoek. In order that no other Republican might profane tho sacred document. Representative Merrimann moved it be passed to engrossment and third readIn,?. Then It was that Kschbach came forward and called attention to his head bowed In shame. Otis tJrleger fired on Ft. Sumpter, shook his horny fist In the classic features of Merrimann. consigned the whole Democratic party to the bottomless pit and threatened to go away, far away, where Jack Walsh or any other ilooi keeper couldn't find him. break the quorum and leave Democracy sitting on the doorstep without any visible means of support. Horry broke bis hhnck'.es again and defied everybody to do their worst. He voted "So" so fast the roll . call clerk had to use an adding machine. Thes were tho three stars. MeI'lew and Troyer and two or three others took minor parts, wearing Ions shirt-like garments, carrying spears and coming In heavy on the barber shop chords. 8teker Veneman looked at his gav el and seeing It was nearly destroyed. motioned Cravens, who moved an ad Joiirnment. And that Is the way the new contl tut Ion of the state of Indiana was adopted In twenty minutes by a co-or dlnate branch of the state government. Thu are the ople vindicated and their ocrtgn rights upheld. NOTICE TO BIDDERS.

TO. USE OMU FLAG Want British Emblem in More Conspicuous Place When Ours Is Flown. Ottawa, March 2. An echo ofc the recent annexation talk was heard in the house when a resolution was offered by Major Beanie, conservative member for Ixmdon, Ontario, declaring that "regulations should be Issued providing that wherever u foreign flag is displayed, except by tho representative of a foreign government, a British flag shall be displayed in a more prominent position. Major lleattie declared that too many American flags were flown in Canada by summer residents from across tho line and by tourists in automobiles, who whirled through the country with their cars decorated with the Stars and Stripes, but without a British flag being anywhere displayed. This, he said, irritated many Canadians, who thought such visitors should either abstain from flaunting the American flax before the people of Canada or else should give the flag of the Dominion equal prominence. Dr. Pugsley, minister of public works, declared that the British enhign should bo more freely displayed n the Dominion, and he agreed that the frequent display of foreign flags was not agreeable to the people. However, he thought that a resolution such as was proposed would not provide a remedy. There would have to be a change in the criminal law to meet the case. Mr. Fielding, finance minister, said that for Canada, there nas only one flag and that was the British emblem. However, flag incidents were troublesome things, and, in his opinion, the Government should have time to consider the flag regulations of other nations before Parliment committed tho country to any lliw of action. Dr. Edwards, of Frontenac, declared that many American summer residents in Central Ontario, insisted upon displaying tho Stars and Stripes at their camps and declined to fly the British emblem. This attitude, he characterized as rightly distasteful lo Canadians, who had no objection lo the American flag but resented any Implied discourtesy to the flag of this country. Dr. Clark, Liberal member from Alberta, said tho many Americans coming Into Western Canada made good citizens. "They assimilate easily," he continued, "but they won't be so willing to become British subjects if the Union Jack is waved in their faces too much." Mr. Fielding suggested that the resolution be withdrawn for a time, in order to give the government an opportunity to Investigate. Capt. Wallace, of York. Ontario, and several other Conservative members objected to this. K. M. McDonald. Liberal, affirmed his belief that the British flag alone should be recognized In Canada, and thnt the Government should have time to look Into the question before a change Is made in the law. He moved the adjournment of the debate. This motion was supported by the Liberals and opposed by the Conservatives. It v.a sarried on a straight party division by a majority of 0.

Finney to have the will of their spinster sister, Sarah, declared invalid, revealed a peculiar romance of long standing. The Finneys are one of Detroit's historic families. . Seymour Finney, their father, left an estate of about $300,000. It was divided equally among his three children with an understanding which, however, was not Incorporated In his will, that none of It should ever go from the family. Sarah recently died and bequeathed most of her fortune to her physician, Dr. Andrew W. Imric. In small bequests she gave him, his wife and his son's jewels, and after minor bequests to her brothers and others gave the doctor all the residue. ONE-HALF OF

BANKERS OF TEXAS

I Will Refuse to Finance Any Schemes That Are Not Legitimate Ones. . (American News Service) Austin, Tex., March 2. No work of recent years of the financial centers has done so much to bring about stable conditions in Texas and shake out the widely speculative element as the decision almost one year ago of bankers to refuse to finance any proposition in Texas that was not legitimate In all its phases and calculated to stimulate development in the most practical way. There was a time, just as such a period comes in all countries where great values are apparent, when almost any kind of an improvement scheme could find some one to finance it. This easyaccess to money very naturally attracted the attention of some who were looking for "a get-rich-quick" scheme. The fly by night developer drifted this way and for a time appeared to flourish. But his apparent prosperity was at the expense of both the state and those who patronazed him. In a very short time, however, those who furnished the real sinews for improvement, as is said In baseball circles, "solved his delivery" and the word went out to furnish no nioney for any alleged promotion except those that were really meritorious. This was one of the most fortunate things for Texas that has transpired in recent years. The result is that' itine rant boomers have sought more promising fields and the man who desires to invest his money has a positive assurance that the development into which he puts his cash has a reality in it that assures a reasonable return. Under these newer conditions all legitimate commercial endeavors find money easy to obtain and as a consequence there is an expansion of business all along the line not boom business, but substantial, rational, developing effort that is rapidly bringing out soil values, mineral, oil and natural gas developments and all those things which go to make a country rich and stable along commercial lines and fitted for a high order of life. Conditions today invite both the homeseeker and the investor and to these are given the assurance that the state is just what it is represented to be in the estimation of those who have invested large sums of money in developing resources. In addition to that the present legislature is considering legislation which will add to the stability by making it impossible under laws of the state for the grafter in a development field to ply his vocation. FILE FINAL REPORT Final report in the estate of the late Fred Shuman has been made to the Wa3ne probate court by the administrator. The total charges were $473.51, credits $93.04, leaving for distribution $CS2.47.

GARY IS JPTIMISTIC Business Depression Said to Be Only Temporary. New York. March 2. Judge Elbert H. Gary, head of the steel trust, returned from a visit to Cuba and Florida. ,'It Is my opinion." he said, "that if the rate decision has a depressing effect upon business conditions it will be temporary. From my information it seems to me that general business conditions are materially improving. If this continues, as now seems probable, it follows, necessarily that the business of the railroads will correspondingly increase, and in order to take care of their interests they must put and keep thier tracks in good condition and largely increase' their equipment. The different lines of the business of the country are more or less tied together. It is time for us all to take things as we find them and make the best of them." Judge Gary was reminded that about two months ago he declared himself a "conservative optimist," and he was asked if he was a different sort of an optimist now. "In the light of-what I see, I feel ard know," he replied, "I am now prepared to declare myself just a plain optimist. I see no ill omen anywhere for the year. Certainly there is no cause for uneasiness or apprehension. If, however, people begin to talk it long enough and unceasingly, then we might have trouble. There was really no industrial or economic cause for the last panic. It was brought on by foolish talk and ill-grounded fears. Like causes produce like results. All that threatens us now is politics and politicians, and I do not view that seriously. The country is beginning to understand that a great deal that is said in politics is said in a Pickwickian sense."

LITTLE DUTIES. ' If you are ever tempted to fee! r.y life seems of very little importance. , remember that on little things well done many a greater work depends for usefulness. The man who builds a lighthouse does a great work, but it would be of very little use if the men who keep the lamp burning neglected their duty.

RICH SADLY NEED SPIRITUAL SUPPORT

Rev. Pearce of St. Louis Says There Is Plenty to Do on Millionaire Boulevards St. Louis, Mo. March 1. The views of Rev. Dr. Aked, "Rockefeller's pastor," to the effect that he could not I find enough to do on Fifth avenue to jkeep him busy, given as a reason for his recent resignation, does not find ! sympathy with Rev. M. M. Pearce, pastor of the First Reformed Presbyterian church, this city. Dr. Pearce has just resigned from his St. Louis church to accept a call to the East End Presbyterian church, of Pittsburg, the congregation of which includes millionaires and multimillionaires. It. is in the most fashionable district of Pittsburg and is just a block from the East Liberty Presbyterian church, said to be one of the wealthiest churches in America. "I think tbere Is plenty of work to do on Fifth avenue or any other of the millionaire boulevards of America," said Dr. Pearce. "We must take care lest in our fear for the unchurch ed neighborhoods of the down-towr ! districts we allow an unreligious I neighborhood to grow in the other end of our cities. "The rich man is too apt to think, "Well I've plenty. I don't need the gospel. And the poor man is likely to think. 'Well the gospel can't do me any good.' " "The one is too busy trying to make money and the other is too busy tryijig to spend it. "Our rich men surely are sadly in need of the gospel. They need It preached faithfully and simply." COLLECT DATA TO INTEREST CAPITAL A committee from the Richmond Commercial Club, Young Men's Business Club, and the Commercial Clubs of Liberty and Brookville will make an automobile trip south from this city to Cincinnati today for , the purpose of collecting data on the route for presentation to several interurban companies with a view to interesting them in a project to construct a traction line in that territory.

NEW HAREM SKIRT

Startles Voyagers on Atlantic Steamship. New York, March 2 A harem skirt like unto no other harem skirt that tho heralds of fashion has thus far proclaimed and which Is soon to cause a great stir and flutted In the city of Mexico hmade its initial appearance on the steamship Prinz Friedrich Wil-' helm of the North German Lloyd line, which has arrived. The passengers aboard the liner have been greatly aumsed by this newest of suffragetto petticoats and they could talk of little else when the ship docked. Mrs. AUred Marchal, wife of a Mexican millionaire mine owner, wore this latest creation, and when she made her first appearance In it on deck three nights ago the ship fairly staggered from the shock. Garment is Split Fore and Aft. The women discussed the garment in athe saloons, while the men kept it in sight. The passengers named it a four-quarters skirt. It was clinging and drawn in about the ankles, Fore -nd aft and port and starboard, using he nautical language of one of tho tewards who described it, it was split. Through the slits black silken hoso tnd knickerbockers and diamond buckles shone ever and anon. It made the men wipe their spectacles and the women talk among themselves ln subdued tones. When the Skirt is Not a Skirt. A stiff westerly breeze was blowing when Mrs. Marchal made her first appearance on deck in the new skirt, and at the very first swish of the wind the steamers of the skirt parted and flew out In random pennants. Two of the ship's officers almost fell off the bridge and a sailor who was coming down the ratlines barely missed & plunge into the sea. Mrs. Marchal ignored the battery of looks and stares and swiftly found shelter from the wind. In the lee of the deckhouse the skirt was again a skirt, but when Mrs. Marchal entered the smoking-room, sat down and crossed her knees, the skirt was again not a skirt. Play at the card tables was demoralized. The passengers say they are now shock-proof against the ordinary variety of harem skirt. 6WA en box. 25c
