NVFSTIG ATION

John Taylor, Marketmaster, Said to Have Informed a Coal Dealer that He Intended to Weigh Wagon. (Continued from Pace On) all dry measures to be discarded and th produce now being sold in the pleasures hereafter be sold by weight. The people are being swindled -when they buy potatoes and other similar produce by measure, Kauffman believes. He stated that when any on ffcuys a bushel of potatoes there is a jJosB of fifteen pounds to which the buyer Is entitled. Kauffman denounced the moving '.picture shows of the city as being ineanitary and unfiX places for any one to go. These places are dangerous in case of fire because the people are Compelled to stand up in the aisle, and the houses are often packed to the doors, he said. City Attorney Gardner told the council that Dr. Hurty of the state board of health would bring the matter before the state legislature nd asked that the council await the action of the state officials Here's Another. An ordinance to regulate the speed tf automobiles running north and outh was referred to the ordinance committee. Mayor Zimmerman asked the council not to be too strict with uch bills for ordinances. "Every man who ever owned an automobile violated the law" said the mayor. "It is a Very easy thing to do and people do ijt almost unconsciously." Councilman Kauffman asked that the building code committee get together and get the code before the council for adoption. An ordinance was passed making he salary of the meat inspector $900 per year. Superintendent Hollarn's annual report of the city's parks "was read and placed on file. The bull moose at the Glen Miller Zoo probably will be sold this week. Isaac Bamail of Niles, Michigan, will come to this city to look at the animal, he reported. Earlham Notes by H. Peterson Coach Thistlethwaite is making efforts to pull the Earlham basketball team Into shape to beat Antioch Friday night. A rule of the college excludes four of the squad, Including Ray Beery, the captain, from playing, and as Earlham did not play Antioch last year, her opponent's strength is an unknown quantity. The line-up for the game Is very uncertain as the coach is trying out several new men. The local college beat the Yellow Springs team two years ago by a small core and determined to win the first fame in the Coliseum this season. The conditions will probably be removed from the ones disqualified in about two weeks, allowing them to enter the (first Butler game, which will be played at Richmond, January 22. At a meeting of the Athletio association at Earlham yesterday, Llndley Clark, of Washington, D. C, was elected to take the place of Allan Jancaster as manager of the track team for the ensuing season. Lancaster did not return to Earlham after the holidays, but is attending the University of Illinois. Prof. John D. Rea, of Earlham college has been appointed, with President Millis, of Hanover, and Dean Rawles, of Indiana university, on a committee which is to collect and tabulate the marks of freshmen in Indiana colleges and universities who have come from Indiana high schools. The object of the committee is to have in a few years a complete list of Indiana high schools with the marks made by all the college freshmen who came from them. In this way the standing of the secondary schools of the state may be determined. Up to the present there has been no thorough work of the kind done and it is expected that the committee will aid both the high schools to become more Uniform and the colleges to obtain a better idea of the work done by the lower Schools. . Glen H. Wood was elected Cheer Leader of the Earlham "Thusm" club, which contains the entire student body, to succeed Harold B. Rogers, who has resigned. The ruling of the college about the new point system of outside student activities has made necessary a number of changes in nearly all Earlham organizations. At a meeting of the Earlham day dodgers today the" following were elected for the ensuing year: President, Earl Rowe; vice president. Miss Barbara Beckman; secretary, Miss Lucile Nusbaum ; treasurer, Wallace Gifford; assistant treasurer, Edith Runge; marshal, Richard Sedgwick; ice marshal, Howard Elliott. REOPENING OF THE FIRST M. E. CHURCH The first of the reopening exercises of the First M. E. church was held last night. The program was much appreciated by a large attendance. Tonight the exercises will continue and a program has been arranged for each Tn!cg In the week.

Victim of Tragic Scandal

kr"X if iris a '; X " '' v ' ' f J '-;?'

Mrs. H. C. Edey, who was shot to death by her husband, a retired banker, at Bellport, L. I., in order to put an end to one of the strangest scandals ever conceived. According to the testimony of Mrs. Nellie Murdock, wife, of a Bellport liveryman, at the Coroner's inquest, Edey and Murdock had arranged to change wives, because of rumors of an infatuation between Murdock and Mrs. Edey. The last named couple carried out the plan so far as to start for Texas, where they were to institute suits on charges of abandonment, and when all were free the intermarrying was to take place. But Edey changed his mind. Then Murdock sued him for $100,000 for alienation of Mrs. Murdock's affections. It is believed that dread of the notoriety the suit would attract caused Edey to bring a tragic end to the strange romance by killing his wife and himself.

To Hospital Arrests Will Follow. (National News Association) CHICAGO, Jan. 7 Authorities of the Sheridan Park hosnital received notification that unless two members of the medical or ambulance staff that took Israel Segail from North and California avenues, were turned over to the police today the hospital would be closed. States Attorney Hoyne issues the order. The hospital is owned and operated by the Chicago Railway company. The two men are wanted for kidnapping and beating Segail. "Evidence submitted to me today," said Hoyne, "shows clearly that the hospital's ambulance crew, together with other employes of the Chicago Railway company, falsely representing themselves as police officers, acting in conspiracy, kidnapped Segail, brutally beat and maimed him and also j robbed him, and then tried to carry him away to the traction company's hospital, seven miles distant, though he begged to be taken to his home, which was near at hand. Traction Attorney Symmes professed to be unable to give the names or any clew to the whereabouts of the missing ambulance aids, but promised to do his best to find them.

REACTIONARIES TO RUN LEGISLATURE Shively Is Side-tracked for Speaker Because He Is Too Progressive.

CAUCUS IS TONIGHT Organization Will Be-Effected and the Patronage Is To Be Distributed. (Palladium Special) INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 7. Already the members of the legislature are arriving in town and getting settled in places to live during the session, and with every new arrival there is fresh talk about the caucuses that are to be held tonight and the distribution of legislative patronage. Thomas Taggart has arrived and will remain until after the session is started and everything is running smoothly. He wants to see everything working right before returning to French Lick. And present indications are that there will not be any hitches in the Taggart program. It provides for the election of Homer L. Cook, of this city, for speaker of the house; S. N. Quillen, of Linton, for clerk of the house, and Paul Hill, of Greencaatle, for assistant clerk, although the latter arrangement may be changed so as to put Phil Lutz, of Boonville, in as assistant secretary. David Poer, of Ehelby county, appears to be out of the running for house doorkeeper. Taggart Not in One Race. Taggart and his forces have not taken any part in the race for doorkeeper. Frank Sweet, a union plasterer and business agent for the plasterers' union in this city, has become a candidate for the place and so has Douglas Bolser, of New Castle. Sweet has a good following. The senate will elect Wade Free secretary, and probably Smith Askren, of Corydon, assistant secretary. This has been the plan for some time. Jack Shea, of this city, will be the senate doorkeeper. But the Democratic senators are going to have a hard time electing a president pro tem, who will also be a Democratic floor leader. Senator Stotsenburg, of New Albany, was the floor leader two years ago, but there was so much newspaper criticism of his connection with the bi-partisan combine that he says he does not want the place again. Quieted Kistler. Senator Kistler, of Logansport, was one of the active leaders in the Benate, but because of his corporation connection and his record on matters in which the interests were interested there is a disposition to keep him quiet at this session. Reactionary Democrats will be in control of the senate, and this maf.es it practically certain that the floor leader will be a man of their kind, and the choice appears to lie between Senator Harlan, of this city, and Senator Houck, of Lawrenceburg. Harlan is a reactionary and belongs to the crowd that will be in control. He is the man that killed the housing bill which was before the legislature at the last session and which proposed to improve tenement conditions in Indiana. He was also on hand every time anything was to be done to help kill the franchise referendum bill on Senator Grube. No Chance for Shivety. Senator B. B. Shively, of Marion, would like to be floor leader, but he is too progressive for the reactionary majority and he stands no show whatever. Along with the arrival of members of the legislature there has come also a long line of job hunters who want places in the legislature. Some of them will get jobs but many will not. The house and senate plunder committees have decided on 30 day appointments, this changing the employes in the middle of the session. Lobbyists are also beginning to appear. A number of these fellows are at the hotels. There they can meet and mix with the members. It is practically certain that the legisla--Man Tonic Tabl.t, are sold at all drug stores 50c a boz on a marinM or mrmn nfnndKt. .cilTOUTTM!S enUPAMMM! VUIUUI I HI fcUUrUIT" M5iiMA?r TABLET CO..

ture will enact a public utilities commission law, and that it cannot be headed off. So the interests are sending their lobbyists here to see that the bill is so framed that it will be satisfactory to them. Indications are that although the Democrats are making a let of progressive noise and promising a good many progressive laws the public utilities commission law will be so framed and modified by the reactionaries in the party that when it is passed it will be one that will suit the corporations and not amount to much for the people. It is announced that Judge E. W. Felt, of the appellate court, will administer the oath of office to Gov. Samuel M. Ralston, at the inauguration next Monday at the state house. He and Mr. Ralston were college mates and have been close friends for many years, and Mr. Ralston picked Judge Felt for that reason. All of the candidates for speaker of the house have withdrawn from the race except Homer L. Cook, of this city, and John C. Branaman. of Brownstown. The latter probably will be able to control 10 or 12 votes in the caucus and Cook will get the rest.
