BY LEASED WIRE. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 6 Practically all the members of both houses of the sixty-ninth general assembly were in Indianapolis prepared to go through with the final preliminaries preparatory to the opening of the legislature session tomorrow. Political life was stirring early this morning in all the larger down town hotel lobbies. Interest centered today in the

caucus of Democratic house members scheduled for tonight in the house chamber. This caucus will determine the majority choice for speaker, principal clerk of the house, chief doorkeeper and other employes. Charles H. Bedwell of Sullivan, still appears to have the support of enough Democratic representatives to assure his nomination. While the Democrats of the house are choosing the officers of that body who will be elected tomorrow, the Republicans of the house and Benate will lie holding separate meetings, selecting candidates who will receive the complimentary vote of the minority. The minority organization of the cenate completed at the Democratic senators caucus In the senate cham

ber last night, did not receive the endorsement of leading Democrats of the state today. Oppose Wade Free. There were some who did not agree that the senators acted wisely in selecting Wade H. Free, of Anderson, as secretary of the senate. Mr. Free was indicted by a recent Marion county grand jury on charges of irregularities in connection with the appointment of employes. He was freed of the charge later along with all the other Indicted legislators and legislative employes by Judge Markley in criminal court. The other selections made last night by the senate Democrats were: Assistant secretary, Harry B. Skillman, formerly of South Bend, now of Indianapolis; president pro tem and marjority floor leader. Senator Fred Van Nuys, and the caucus chairman, Will Averllng. Shelby ville; caucus

secretary. Senator Chester A. McCormick, North Judson, and chief doorkeeper, Ralph A. Thomas, Auburn. At noon today the contest for the speakership of the house had become a somewhat uncertain matter. The election of Wade H. Free as secretary af the senate last night caused a movement to spread rapidly in favor of Mason J. Niblack of Vincennes, parliamentarian of the house in 1913, as the loeieal choice for sneaker. His

friends argued that Mr. Free was selected in order to "slap at the Marlon county grand jury" for indicting legislators and employes of the lust legislature, and that Niblack, who was one of the indicted men, should be elected speaker in order to express the confidence of the house Democrats in him. Governor Ralston has not let it become known that he favors Charles H. Bedwell of Sullivan. The executive does not favor Niblack. The governor attempted to detract votes from Free before last night's senate caucus, but Lieutenant Governor O'Neill, succeeded in bringing about Free's nomination.

SMELSER CUTS DISEASE CASES IN FIRST YEAR

KERNS DISPATCH SAYS PRESIDENT WILL TALK HERE Communication From Senator to Postmaster Contradicts Previous White House Statement Issued.

Arthur M. Walters, 42, who left Richmond in 1897, and the New York woman who claims to have been his first wife, who is dying in a New York hospital from the effects of mercury

poisoning, are the centers of a mystery which is commanding attention throughout the east. The former Mrs. Walters, who is said by New York newspaper informants to have entered into a common

law marriage with an attorney named Lorlys Elton Rogers, poisoned her two children, both of whom died yesterday, and on her death bed called for "Dad," her pet name for Mr. Walters. Mr. Walters visited his mother, Mrs. Adella Walters, widow of Charles Walters, formerly superintendent of the Richmond Mill WTorks, last September, and called on some of the older families with whom he is acquainted. He was then enroute to Zinc, Ariz., where he invested his money in the Iola Mining company. Known Here as Bud. The Walters family was formerly well known here. Arthur, who attended school here, was known as "Bud." He worked as bookkeeper and stenographer at the mill works and at

other wholesale concerns until he left

at the age of twenty-four. Mrs. Walters rooms at 30 South Tenth street. She is now visiting her daughter, Mrs. Vincent Thompson, 6430 Kenwood ave

nue, Chicago. Another daughter is in San Francisco. James Clarence Walters and Clyde Walters are the remaining members of the family. The former is an attorney in Utah and the latter lives in St. Louis. In New York an effort Is being made to locate Arthur Walters who is temporarily away from the Arkansas mines, and establish the connection between the woman in the hospital

who says she is his first wife and Ida Snlffen, daughter of a famous horseman and member of a wealthy and prominent New York family. Marries Miss Snlffen. WTalters' history from the time lie came to New York is closely traced by the New York newspapers. He was representing the mill works until

the time of the death of his father in 1902. After that he became a reporter for a New York newspaper but quit this after a year. He met the wealt'.iy Ida Sniffen, who had studied art abroad, then studying are in New

York in 1904, and they were married in Elizabeth, N. J., April 11, 1D05. This is a point of some mystery to Richmond friends and friends of the family. No one in Richmond who knows the family was aware of this marriage. Rumors were circulated a

few years ago that he was living with a woman and common law marriage was hinted. His friends say this was improbable. For about two years Walters and his wife lived happily together in New Jersey. In May, 1907, they moved to New York andecame members of a players' and art club. At that time Rogers, who is described as a "man of intoxicating personality, a voice in which was the melody of Mozart and an expression in which was the bewitching song of Burns," came into the lives of the two young people.

James A. Patten, who engineered the famous wheat corner a few years ago has admitted that the $25,000 he

says he made in a few minutes in

lively trading went to charity. He kept out enough for living expenses for the day, he said.

Jones, road superintendent, which indicates the success he has made in the first year of the new county road system. Mr. Jones modestly refused to make up a long descriptive report of the conditions of the roads, but confined his annual statement entirely to figures showing the expenditures and activities. The use of prisoners on the roads is the only item upon which the road superintendent would dwell, and he is proud of this because the county is now credited with a net profit of Sl.366.53 on their use, and the

Health Officers First Report Shows Results of Strict Quarantine and Physicians Co-operation. By pursuing a strict quarantine policy, and with the active co-operation of local physicians, Dr. S. G. Smelser, secretary of the board of health, was able to reduce in 1914 the number of cases of contagious diseases over onefourth of such cases reported in 1913,

which is regarded as an exceptionally good record.

In 1913 there were 896 cases of contagion in Richmond, but last year there were were onlv 211 cases of

The association will take the matter up tomorrow night at a meeting. The plans for the store's future will be made public in a few days, Mr. Turner said, when he has his organization perfected. His present plans, if the lease is made transferable, are to continue in the dry goods business along different plans.

President Wilson will step to the

platform of his train Friday and make a few remarks to Richmond people and probably shake hands with a few, according to a personal letter received by Postmaster Beck today from Senator John V. Kern at Washington. The letter follows: "Dear Mr. Beck: "1 talked with Mr. Tumulty this morning about the matter suggested in your letter and he says there is no objection to the President's appearing on the platform at Richmond and greeting any of the people who may be there. He must not be expected to shake hands with very many people or to make any speech beyond a few remarks. This last sentence is at my own suggestion. "I hope to see you at Indianapells. I shall reach there Friday morning about 7, leaving here Thursday at 11 a. m. "With kind regards, T am. "Yours very truly, "JOHN XV. KERX." The letter was written in Mr. Kern's handwriting. It was mailed

yesterday and received this afternoon.

death rate in 1914 over 1913. Last year there were 312 deaths, 155 males and 157 females, while the previous year there was a total or 286 deaths. Births Exceed Deaths. One remarkable announcement In Dr. Smelser's annual report, made public today, is the fact that the same number of children were born in Richmond last year as there were the year before, a total of 517, or an excess of births over deaths of 205. In 1913 the excess of births over deaths was 231. Last year there were 155 male victirnes and 157 victims of the grim reaper. The stork brought 263 girl babies to Richmond homes last year, and 254 boy babies, but the stork generally does distribute more girls than boys. Dr. Smelser announces in his report that he was able to save about $1,800 in the expenses of his department last year without impairing its efficiency, which will be gratifying news to council.
