inOIADAPOLIS THE '

DEMOCRATIC MECCA Every'Train Brings in Delegates for the State Convention Tomorrow. (National Nw Association) INDIANAPOLIS, Ind- March 20. Every train Into Indianapolis today brought scores of delegates to the Democratic State convention, which meets here tomorrow to nominate candidates for governor and other State officers and to select delegates at large to attend the Democratic national convention In Baltimore. Presidential electors also will be selected. The convention will meet In Tomlinson Hall and will be composed of 1,747 delegates. .There appears to be no doubt of the nomination of Samuel Ralston of Lebanon for governor, since he received a solid delegation of 186 votes to the State convention through the Influence of Thomas Taggart, former chairman

of the national committee and for

many Tears tb undisputed boss of the Democratic party in Indiana.

Neither does there appear to be any great likelihood of a contest on the presidential Instructions to be given

the delegates to the Baltimore con

ventlon, as Indiana is expected to bestow her strength on her favorite son.

Oovernor Thomas R. Marshall. It is conceded that Oovernor Marshall ehould have the solid support of the State on the trst ballot in the national convention, but it is doubtful if the Indiana delegates will be charged to remain with the governor until the end of the fight. It Is generally believed that Mr. Taggart plans to throw the strength of the State to Harmon as soon as It becomes apparent that Governor Marshall has no chance of winning the race. This program is believed to be subject to change only In the event that Senator Kern should decide to enter the presidential race, a thing that is regarded as not only possible, but highly probable if the balloting for candidates should be protracted. The choice of the State convention for delegates at large probably will fall upon Senators Kern and Shively, Mr. Taggart and a fourth man not yet agreed upon. William H. O'Brien, present State auditor, Is slated to succeed Mr. Taggart as the Indiana member of the national committee, Taggart not being a candidate.

LOCAL PEOPLE ASKED TO HELP

An appeal for help for the 3,000,000 starving Chinese, who, rendered homeless and penniless by the ravages of war, have been forced into the last stages of starvation, is being made by the local ministerial association and various clubs of the city. There are three main famine districts, approximating 30,000 square miles of territory, peopled by over 7,000.000 Chinese. The reasons given are the famines of last year, which caused the surplus crops to be eaten up. scant crops this year and for four past years. The work animals were eaten last year, and business is at a standstill. The weak are becoming beggars, and the strong aro robbers, and the sale of wives and daughters Is common. The failure of the Manchu government, and consequent turbulent times, has resulted in the rich, who have in the past given liberally in the interest of the starving, being themselves transformed into beggars by war. All local people interested will aid the cause by sending their contributions to the Dickinson Trust Company, which has been named the depositary of funds from this city.

TO FILL PROGRAM

SAMUEL RALSTOII WILL BE NOMINATED 0(1 FIRST BALLOT BY THE DEMOCRATS

BY CARL MOTE. 1ND1ANPOL13. Ind.. March 20. On the eve of thq. Democratic state convention, Jt. seems fairly certain that two names will be before the convention for governor, Samuel M. Ralston of lebanon,N and Lieut. Gov. Prank J. Hall, of Rushtillei Mr. Ralston will be nominated on the first ballot, it Is believed. He has several hundred more votes pledged to him than Is necessary for a nomination. ' An effort will be made this morning to Induce Lleut Gov. Hall to withdraw, that the nomination of Mr. Ralston may be made by acclamation. If Hall remains In the race he probably will receive the complimentary vote of the Sixth district on the font ballot and the votes which Congressman John W. Boehne obtained before he withdrew from the race. The Sixth district has lit votes In the state convention. Mr.

Boehne had less than 160 scattering votes which; his friends could throw to

Mr. Hall, so that the latter probably will not receive more than 300 votes van It he decides to remain in the . race. - Among ths counties where ths note probably could be held for Lieut Gov. Hall sad Allen with Si of ths 5 votes; ' Crawford with S; Tippecanoe, 2C, Nohis, 17; Lagrange. S of ths 7 votes; Vamdsrburg. 44. and Parks. 7 of ths IS votes. ; But It Is by no means certain that all of these votes could be held for Lleutecuuit. Gov. Hall. Allen county has s oaadida ts for supreme Judge. R. K. Irwin; Vanderburg has one candidate tor stats oftles and ths neighborIs oouty of Warrick la ths First district has another. Ths candidacies of Mr. Irwin from Allen. Judge J. W. Spencer of Vanderburg for supreme Judge and of Dr. T. D. Scales of Warrick for lieutenant governor will make It necessary for ths First district, even to glvo a portion of Its votes to Samuel U. Ralston. t Interest centered Wednesday morning la the candidacies of Judge Spencer aad Dr. Scales. Ths 8psacer forces regard Scales' candidacy as a direct rebuks .to ths former. It Is fairly cert tain that ths First district troubles are deep ssatsd aad that whatever the result nay be, ths party will not enter ths campaign la vary good condition for a fight oa ths Republicans. , Deeplts the announcement that Albert F. Wray of 8helbyville would be a candidate for appellate judge to succeed Judge David A. Myers, Republican, Judge Joseph H. Shea said Wed- ' nesday that ha has ths positive assurance of Mr. Wray that he will not be a, candidate. Until yesterday, It seem- . cd that Judge 8hea of Seymour would be the only candidate for appellate judge. 8hea has been a powerful factor In ths Taggart organisation as has , Wray also. 8bea Is better known In ' . politics than the Shelbyvllle man. The candidacy of Fred S. Caldwell of Winchester for supreme judge. Fourth district, made rapid headway Tuesday afternoon. While It was believed Judge R. K. Irwin of Ft. Wayne would have a strong lead over Caldwell because of his longer experience la Democratic politics, the appearance at the Denlson hotel Tuesday afternoon of a large number of Influential politicians snd their effective work In - behalf of Caldwell gave his candidacy , a very obvious Impetus. -1 - Tls) tajtstasos of the torces behind

The program committee of the Richmond Chautauqua association will hold a meeting Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the Commercial Club rooms. Contracts have been signed with a number of Chautauqua favorites. There are a number of vacancies in the musical features for this year's Chautauqua session which have not been filled, as yet.

S. KARNS ARRESTED; CHILD DESERTION

Caldwell that Randolph country is en

titled to share in the division of the spoils and that Caldwell will be a wiser choice in view of his high standing at home had a marked influence on

sentiment. James W. Fortune, of Jeffersonville, Dr. T. D. Scales, of Boonville, and Leonard B. Clore of Franklin are considered the strongest probabalities in the race for lieutenant governor. Clay W. Metsker of Plymouth, who had no opposition for a long time and who, It Is believed would land the nomina

tion, has additional complications to ; meet. W. P. O'Neill of Mishawaka. Is a !

candidate and he will divide the Thirteenth district vote with Metsker. Both Metsker and O'Neill live in the extreme northern part of the state and since Ralston who also lives north of the north-and-south dividing line, will bs nominated for governor, it is not

probable that the lieutenant governor also will be taken from the same part of the state. Personal fights are being made upon Metsker and also Jacob

F. Denny of Portland, the Eighth district candidate for lieutenant-gover

nor. It is not believed that these

lights will hurt either to any great extent, however.

On an affidavit charging child desertion, Sidney Karns, employed in the capacity of repairman of the local branch of the International Harvester company, was arrested yesterday by Deputy Sheriff Mote. He was released bhortly afterward on $500 bond. Kama is a brother of Otis K. Karns. who is seeking a divorce in the Wayne circuit court from Minnie M. Karns.

Right and Left During

Its Progress. Another epidemic of rabies is now expected following the running amuck of a large black and tan hound this morning, which bit Beveral dogs. $ia new cases of rabies had been reported for some time until this morning. The mad hound today first bit a small dog on South Thirteenth street. The leather muzzle the hound wore was easily broken by the animal, which Is still at large. The dog frothing at the mouth, later ran west on Main street, attacking every dog it saw. It succeeded in terri

bly slashing a dog at the corner ofi

West Third and Main streets, then turned north into Fairview. On Sheridan street it attacked a dog belonging to L. Moore, inflicting a deep gash in its victim's throat. Then north to 1139 Sheridan street the dog ran, where at the home of John Underhill it went

into the barn and bit and tore a dog belonging to Underhill which was tied. The dog still lusting for blood continued west to Boyer street, where It Jumped a high fence and attacked a valuable collie at the home of Wm. Roll, 1010 Boyer street. The collie was badly mangled. The animal then ran north of the city to the home of Wm. Hoover where it bit another dog. This dog was also badly mangled by the teeth of the hound. The animal finally returned east of the river and disappeared in Happy Hollow, and has not been located. It displayed no tendency to bite people it passed. Officers with a description of the dog are out on a search for it this afternoon.

Edwin Ftook the negative. It la, expected that a large number of high school students and others will hear the debate. The Light Problem Club will hold its regular meeting at the Y. M. C. A. this evening at 7 o'clock.

LYNCHING LEADER ARRESTED TODAY

(National News Association) CHICAGO, March 20. Samuel A. Heller, arrested here for complicity in the lynching of Carl Etherington in Newark, Ohio, in 1910, was taken back to the Ohio city today. . He is said to have been one of 42 men indicted for the lynching. Etherington was an anti-saloon detective engaged in a fight against illicit liquor selling in Licking County, Ohio. After a successful raid he was chased by a mob. He turned and fired, killing William Howard. He was arrested and shortly afterwards a mob visited the jail, broke down the door, took Etherington out and hanged him. Heller, who owned a saloon was said to have been the leader of the mob. He was working for an electric supply company here. He refused to comment on the affair.
