ANTAGONISM IS G. O .P. PLAN OF RECONCILIATION (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) the country, if necessary to save both." "We don't mean to shelve anything of the kind," said Hickey, when his turn came. "We are going to give the men who stood by the party two years ago the preference," as much as to say that if the seceders wish to come back they should expect it. Then he proceeded to nominate Perry Smith for district chairman, as a republican champion of the Watson type. Warner Lauds Warsaw Man. There were no other nominations. It has been understood for weeks that there probably would not be, regardless of the pre-convention caucus. The district had been scoured for annother candidate but no one else could be found who would have it. Several South Bend delegates -- and South Bend put on the most of the conven-tion--lamented the necessity of naming Smith, asserting that it would be as salt thrown on the 1912 sore, special reference being made to the night when as acting district chairman, he read a score of progressives out of the republican party there, and off from the county committee. But apparently City Judge Herbert D. Warner was not among the lamenters. In supporting the nomination of Smith in behalf of St. Joseph county, he lauded the action of the nominee in his out-reading" escapade, and pronounced it "showing the kind of good stuff that he is made of." "We have with us here today one of the men whom Perry Smith read

off the St. Joseph county republican

committee and out of the party that night," said the judge. "I don't know what he is here for but I presume he came out because he is getting lonesome,'" and then Warner proceeded to read County Recorder Noah Lehman back into the party with just about as much ceremony as Smith had read him out. Lehman when interviewed declined to admit that he would accept the reading or that he wouldn't. Several republicans expressed the opinion during the day, however, that he was "nosing around because it is getting about time to run for office again." That the progressives want office and office only, seems as chronic in the talk of the republicans now as it was two years ago. Conoiliation ! tiu- ropi'-I'li'Ui--. hy ral'aiu tho pror-:a -s 'mutts.

INDIANAPOLIS. Feb. 11. The fight against the summary enforcement of the Indiana state law requiring automobile owners to obtain new licenses and tin -tap numbers is on but it is not against the constitutionality of the statute. Other states have attacked the constitutionality of similar legislation as being "class" enactments, hut the immediate issue in Indiana, or more specifically in Marion county, is the interpretation of the law and method of its applioaiion. Stung to the quick by the service of 1.4 .. allidavits against automobile owners in Marion county for tardiness in yielding up their coin, two powerful organizations the Indianapolis Auto Trades association and the. Hoosier Motor club apr npriated $:I00 to head off the scheme of a prosecuting attorney, a constable and others to rake off about $15,000 in fees by forcing motor car owners into court to hear tines assessed against them in addition to tilling the state treasury with the regularly fixed fee. Kin ley I. Mount, prominent Indianapolis attorney, who has carefully studied the new statute covering automobile registration and license tags, himsdf a so-called "violator" of the auto law, declares that the statute does not specify any particular dato when cars should bo registered, other than that it shall bo within ten days after he becomes the owner, and that the law does not specify that such license tag shall have been issued in the year that it is displayed. Therefore, according to the contention, any old tag is permissible and the I'M'.', tag is all that Is necessary to avoid violation of that clause. Advices from other Indiana cities indicate that no action will be taken that smacks of a real prosecution. Prosecutor Sappenlield, at Kvansville, says he will not proceed against any tardy owners without lirst giving them ample notice and grace. .South Bend reports that nothing will be done there unless outsiders butt in with affidavits. Vincennes says prosecutor too busy with other matters, but wouldn't tile arlldavits without warning. Fort Wayne says, "Chief of police gave warning of prosecutions but no date set." Terre Haute reports that the scramble for application blanks by owners apparently has swamped the secretary of state's otfice at Indianapolis as they are arriving slowly. New Albany. Marion, Logansport and Anderson report "nothing doing In the prosecution line", but Muncie anticipates action unless owners soon heed warnings already sounded.

clue as to the thief who stole

J-Jsa wader, treasurer c. ine

Cirls' Athletic association, at the high school Tuesday morning, had been discovered Wednesday but school authorities are .still working hard in an effort to round up the culprit or culprits and make an example of them. The money was left in the girls' gymnasium locker room, and three of the four entrances were locked. No lock was on the fourth door, ami it is probably through here that the thief entered and took the money while the irirls were attending- a mass meeting. Principal Sims Wednesday morning said that a lock had been placed on all doors leading to both the hoys and girls' locker rooms, which be locked during assemblies and other periods when no one is using the rooms, and that an effort was being made, to tind out the persons who were in the building at the time the robbery occurred, and that these persons, if found, would be closely questioned and would have to account for every minute of the time they were in the building. Indications are that the thief was a girl, many of whom probably knew that the Wader girl was carrying this sum, or else a boy had been informed by a girl, and who otherwise' would have known nothing about it. A strict watch is being kept on all locker rooms by teachers appointed for this purpose, to prevent repitions of the theft.
