TEACHERS OPPOSE DATEJMVIEETING School Marms Object to ! Holding Sessions During Holidays.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 22 School marms gathering in Indianapolis for the sixtieth annual convention of the Indiana State Teachers' association registered a terrific howl today against the custom of holding the annual meeting during the holiday season. The Insurrection is headed by Miss Katherine Beeson of Lafayette, where she is principal of the Centennial school, and other so-called "suffraget educationalists." Miss Beeson and her followers declare that if some women were on the association executive and managing board things would be different. The insurgents declare that by calling the annual convention during the holiday vacation the women teachers are forced to cut out holiday social duties, and are brought away from their homes and compelled to do their shopping at Indianapolis instead of spending their money with merchants of their home towns. It is estimated that about four thousand teachers are attending the convention. HUNT FORJIURDERER Officers on Trail of Man Who Killed Farmer. AMSTERDAM, N. Y., Dec. 22. A posse with bloodhounds is searching Montgomery county- for- a desperado who killed John Barrett, a wealthy farmer, after murderously attacking Helen Barrett, his daughter. The murderer set fire to the house to hide his crime. Miss Barrett was sitting before the fire reading a book, the other memhers of the family having retired, when the door suddenly opened and a man with an iron bar in his hand, burst into the room. Miss Barrett screamed but before she could move the man had struck her over the head rendering her unconscious. The girl's father, aroused by the scream, ran down stairs but when he reached the bottom he fell dead with a bullet in his heart. DEFENSE ALLEGES SCHMIDT INSANE NEW YORK, Dec. 22 The battle of alienists began today In the trial of Hans Schmidt, charged with the murder of Anna Aumueller.
