Old Guard Leaders at Indianapolis Have Been Thrown Into a 'Panic.

INDIANAPOLIS. March 20. The declaration of President Taft against

what be terms the "soap-box" primary has thrown the Indiana men entrusted with his Interests into a panic. If there had been a lingering hope that the methods followed In the First and Seventh Districts might be utilized in ny of the other districts the declaration of the president has eliminated It. In his speech before tine Massachusetts legislature. President Taft Aid: "I do not hesitate to say that in my judgment a voluntary primary outside the law, known by its informal character as a "soap-box" primary, is worse than none, for it gives full opportunity to the Ineligible electors of the other party to cast unfair votes and without the sanction and safeguard of penal provisions in respect to casting and counting the ballots is an open avenue for fraud and violence." Sims to Have Way. Chairman Fred Sims of the State Republican Committee has opjmsed the resort to "fraud and violence" but he has Ignored by the local managers In Indianapolis and Evansville. The emphatic declaration of Mr. Taft against such methods has however, strengthened the stand of Mr. Sims and will lend strength to his influence j

with men in other districts to whom i

the Taft Interests have been intrusted. It Is the desire of the conservative Taft men, who have the real Interests of the party at heart, that the prima'ries In the remaining eleven districts be absolutely fair and, that the Republicans shall be given full opportunity for a free expression of their preference for the presidential nomination. The Taft machine managers in Marion County have been compelled to take to the woods because of the cyclone of protest which has fallen on them from Taft Republicans as well s Roosevelt men, owing to the bold frauds committed in controlling the primaries Ijere last Friday. They are seeking to maintain their organization for the state convention primaries next Friday, but many of the men who violated all decency In their roet&ods of "making good" with the bosses last week are hesitating to repeat their outrages again.

(Palladium Special.) EATON, O., March 20. Declaring that the Allen clan is composed of real terrorists, the worst in the entire country, Edward Lynch Carico who lately came to Eaton from Hlllsville, Va., has corroborated all stories that have been sent out since the shooting

of the Hillsville county officials. Garlco declares that every one of the Aliens and their relations have always carried a brace of revolvers, and are quick to use them at the slightest provocation, or because of any real or imaginary wrong against any member of the clan. For years the Aliens have been engaged in moonshining, and many times have been summoned to court by revenue officers. They always refused to be arrested, Garico states, and never went to jail, but at the appointed hour were in court for hearing. For th very reason that jurors in their cases were fearful of consequences, it is explained, they were never convicted. Garlco recalls a fight that occurred a few year's ago bet ween Johy Ayers and Jack Allen. The former was arrested and thrown into jail, but Allen successfully made his way to the hills. The same night friends of Allen stormed the jail, dragged Ayers out under a nearby tree and strung him up. Notwithstanding the fact that Floyd and Jack Allen are enemies and have not spoken to each other for years, they will kill any other individual who would do barm to either. Garico well remembers the time when the brothers fought a duel and Floyd was

thought to have been fatally wounded. Since that time has their enmity existed. In view of all the ill-feeling between the brothers, Garico goes on to say. Jack Allen, who for years has operated the only threshing outfit in the vicinity of Hillsdale, annually pulls up to his brother's place, does his work, collects his pay and leaves, without ever having passed a word, only to set the price. About four years ago George Peters, a relative of the Allen band, was reported to Federal authorities by the

Rev. Joseph Easter, a Dunkard preacher, but was not convicted of the illicit manufacture of whiskey. PeterB' blood boiled because of the action of the minister, and he swore to have revenge. And accordingly called the minister from his home a few hours afterward and shot him down. Peters was arrested and sentenced to be hanged. Upon the edict of the court the Aliens npised around ' in the village that they wouldn't see him hung, but would storm the Jail. The sheriff, fearful that the Allen mob would carry out its threat, stationed a great lot of guards in the jail while a scaffold was erected outside in the court yard, where the execution of Peters occurred in a hurried manner before

the rise of the sun. Garico was among the number selected to guard the prisoner. Jack Cody, a Federal marshal at ML Airy, N. C, Garico believes, is he one man in that part of the country who is feared by the Allen gang. He has arrested two or three of them, and when taken to task about his action, was always ready to shoot, declaring that he would kill. That he means it is evidenced by thevfact that some of the gang have scars inflicted by bullets from his guns. Garico is personally acquainted with the whole bunch, and has worked with and for the Aliens at various times in saw mills owned and operated by them. And because of his past relations with them, he will appear before the Federal grand jury at Abbington, Va., next May to be questioned concerning the unlawful manufacture and sale of whiskey. As be was once tried before Judge Massie, the result of a cutting fracas with a negro, Garico knew the judge well, and is ready to attest his squareness. He was acquitted, but not until after an exhaustive examination and

! all minor details considered.

He knows almost every foot of the

country for miles surrounding Hillsville, and is particularly acquainted with the location of Devil's Den, where the Aliens are now thought to be in hiding. He says the officers are pursuing the only course in attempting to starve them out. The cave has but one opening for both ingress and egress, and is so located that one man could hold off an entire regiment with a sufficient supply of ammunition. Garico, by no means connected with the gang, has known it for years and is able to recite many interesting incidents in which they have figured in, years gone by.

turns already in was the poor showing made by President Taft and experienced campaign managers from an analysis of the figures, declared that the complete returns would carry out the same ratio as the early rigures. This was the first state-wide presidential primary ever held. The Roosevelt leaders charged that many Democrats had cast their votes for La Follette. With thirty-one counties to be heard from the figures stood: LaFollette, 6,953; Roosevelt, 3,983; Taft, 270; Frank Talcott, chairman of the state Republican committee, declared the fight had been made on principle and that personalities did not figure in the result in his opinion.
