Hinshaw Will Have to Wait

Efforts of the Rev. William E. Hinshaw, serving, a life term at the prison for the murder of bis wife, to secure a parole or pardon will be unsuccessful for some time to come. The state board of pardons has adjourned without taking the matter up. Governor Durbin, who is now in Mississippi will not receive a report of the present session, as no action was taken on pardon applications. Fred Landis Renominated.

There will still be two of the brilliant Landis brothers in Congress from Indiana. Frederick Landis, one of the youngest and brightest men in Congress, was renominated in the eleventh district, Tuesday, at Peru. Major Steel, whom Landis dispossessed two years ago, made a desperate fight for the nomination this time, but Landis had him so clearly beaten in the primaries, that the Major did not go into the convention at all, and Landis was renominated by acclamation.
