Wlmt the Com mitt,pmon 8ny. The News today asked the new com^ mltteemen by wire how they stand''oft the chairmanship. T'he answer received throw some light on the situation. For Instance, both sides have beeu claiming Holman of the Thirteenth dis'-. trict. Mr. Holman says 'he will vote.-for Gowdy. The politicians here have been unable to agree as to what Osborne of the Eleventh would do. He settled the controversy by saying he -will vote for Gowdy. Caskey, in the Fourth, says will announce his choice when he gets here next Tuesday, but he Is set downi by both sides as a Gowdy man. He was elected on that issue. The messajjAs from the committeemen follow: (Minion. Ind., Jan 23.-W111 wte foir G-owdy. was elected targd^r o^h^i^ue.

Angola, Ind., Jaifc 23.—I am unpledged amd I will be for the man for chairman wlho will work for the success of tlhe whole party. SOL. A. WOOD.
I shall vote for Mr. Nebeker for chairman. J. W. FESLBH. As shown by the telegrams three of the committeemen heard from—Osborne of Uie Eleventh, Mitchell of the Sixth and Holman of the Thirteenth— announce that they will vote for-Gowdy. Three—McCoy of the Tenth, Filbeck of the Fifth and Fessler of the Seventh— announce that they are for Nebeker. MoCulloch of the Eighth, Wood of the Twelfth, and Caskey of the Fourth, decline to commit themselves.
Of the four from whom responses Ihave not "been received, Kercheval of the First and Lamb of the Second, are claimed by both sides. Self of the Third, is committed to Gowdy, And Moore of the Ninth, is for Nebekef.
McCullocli Will Not Accept. Special to the Indianapolis News. Muncie, Ind., Jan. 23.—The Dally Times has caused considerable talk by placing in nomination George F. McCulloch, Republican committeeman from this (the Eighth) district for state chairman. The Times says it would be -folly for the committee to elect either GowdJor Nebeker because of so much rivalry. Mr. McCulloeh. said today that the nomination was made without him being consulted, and that in no event would (he accept the chairmanship, as he has very large interests here which he could not possibly abandon. Those who know MdCulloch best laughed at the idea of his nomination, because they know his business interests. Delaware county has a candidate for the secretaryship, and MoCulloch will vote for him through Gowdy.

LUTZ IS LUCKY.
A-Cattle Thief Falls Heir to an lllinoi Farm. (Deputy Sheriff Mitchell returned ifrom the prison south yesterday afternoon, having charge Charles Lu'tz, who was sentenced: from this county to s^rve a term of three years for stealing four head of cattle belonging to County Commissioner Cox. Lutz was taken to the jail where he was released find started out In the world to reform or to re-em-bark in the cattle business, just as he chooses.
Lutz is an old man and says he believes he will begin a reform as he could scarcely survive another term in prison. He Is In better circumstances than most men who are returned' from prison and is in good shape to begin an honest life. By the odd dimes he has earned during his sentence he has saved about $60 and besides this he is the owner of 1-60 acres of good land which he has Inherited by the death of a relative during his -term In the penitentiary.

An examination, of the dies-of the Gazette affords an excellent saanple of the latw»K)frprng*«fsek«i and -reoes»ioa AX lime during|e?m8 of Sheriff Btout and,- jW(»xi)i](?#epessor» «ould Pfi found a. ^prd-in, the .Gazette in con-, den^nation otother .practice. of allowim^ the sheriff fees for bq^rdln^^tramps. Now t^hen Sheriff Butler, a ^eP^wW^v is made a similar allowance, the Gazette devotes columns to prove the Iniquity \7 of the practice.
Now here is. a sample of retrocession: When the first damage suit against the city resulted in nominal damages the Gazette had much to say about Engineer Bosler-'s plains 'being endorsed amd1 held that the result of the trial was a distinct vindication of the engineer's competency. Another damage suit was decided against the oity yesterday, growing out of Hosier's blunders, but it •would have taken a Yerkes telescope to And the story of it In iength Justified •by its interest to our citizens.
After (being out eighteen hours the jury in the case of Tilliie Albrecht against the city, demanding damages in. the sum of $2,000, returned a verdict in favor of plaintiff, giving judgment in the sum of $570. Again the city will •have" to pay for the Bosler luxury. The treasurer will just reaoh down in the vault and count out about $1,900 which could have been saved had a competent man been in charge *of the'City's engineering department.
The city attorneys made a stubborn ifi'ght against the clatai 'but the facts were agaimet them and it was & fiigiht against fate from the sfar't. They weTe handicapped by the b-ungleteome job of engineering, which -was kept before the jtury all the tee during the trial. iBosler -w-a® called to 'testify 'as am expert in behalf of the city, but was even a worse failure as a witness tham he is 'at grading an alley, and h'ls teSti.nioriy did •more harm than good for the defense. The attorneys fb.r the plaintiff put up a strong case amd was 'given 'an advantage toy the facts in their favor. They were Confident of as big a judgment as they obtained in the Grimes ttase and .were not surprised, when' the a/mount was increased $70.
They .gay that Grimes' was the weakest case 'and they now feel assured they will win all the five oases yet pending, resulting from the survey. It the lawyers are correct in their predictions, the cflty will be out In round mimtfers aibout $12,000 when this series of damage oases is completed.
It Is -understood that on the first ballot the jury voted Unanimously to find for the plaintiff. When ft caime to fixtog t'he amount there were •differences of opinions, the -lowest estimate tfras $400 amd the -highest $800. The night wtas spent In discussing tlhe evidence and the court's instruction's relative tb the Taw, occasionally ibalWtlttg to see? if they were coming any nearer am 'agreement. At last an estimate of all the amounts was considered tand the amount iWas settled a!t i$670. The -attorneys for the city were not surprised as they r£kfisred 'tifte pl-ain tiff had made a scase agiatost'Which 'there was practically no defense amd the -best th-ey could -hope fdr was a disagreement of the Jury.
Attorney Jim Piety said last night that they would at once make application for a new trial. He' said he felt sure the motion would be granted as the defense would be alble to show errors in the records and instructions. There is also a motion pending for a new trial in the Grimes case which Will be argued within the next few days. The Grimes case and the proceedings of the tnlal are in every way similar to the one in which a verdict was rendered yesterday and if the first motion is denied, it is likely the second1 will be dropped. If there Is any further resistance of the verdicts after the new trial motion is defeated it will be by an appeal to .the Supreme "Court.
Attorney MjdNutt and Soules, for the plaintiffs. In B,11 the suits arising from the troublesome alley, say they will endeavor to force all the actions to trial at as early a date as pc^ible. They have no fears of the result bf the motion for at new trial or an appeal. It is believed by many that the city, in veiw of two defeats after as hard fights as could possibly be made, will not permit the remaining five cases to come to triaL It -is :belleved they will economize by compromising and saving court costs amd attorney '.fees. The amount allowed Attorney James Piety for assisting his brother in defending the city would pay three-fifths of a $500 judgement. It is believed that it would be (better to compromise for $500 in each case than to squander $1,500 more of the city's money to hire attorneys to make a fight which there is no hope of winning.
The verdict shows that City Attorney Piety was a -little off in his calculation as to what the decision of the jury would toe. The question of the probable outCome of trial was discussed by the council in Joint caucus not long ago and it is said that at that time 'Mr. Piety gave it as his opinion that the city would win. But granting it wotild lose he thought the damages awarded would be very (nominal. The sum of $570 may be considered nominal but when5 the costs are added on it makes a decldely neat wad.
There are perhaps a dozen suits against the city yet and there is mo telling where the end Is. To give the taxpayers something of an idea as to how matters axe progressing, with twelve yet to hear frojn, a few figures might be Inopportune. First there is the Weinstein case venued to Sullivan county. The cost to the Vigo courts amount to $185. In addition to this the city has already paid to James E. Piety, who assisted his brother John In the case, the sum of $300. Already an attorney of Sullivan has been promised the sum of $200 to assist in the suit. So far "the Weinsteln case has fcost the city $685. George King is architect Of the Grimes alley, though -Bosler passed on the work. Thjs cause was recently tried and. the jury found for the plaintiff in the sum of $500. In this same case the books at the court house show there is charged against the city of Terre Haute the wan cif $241.25 in costs, making a total of $741.25. In the yet unsettled Davis case there is a cost shown Of $635. TMS added to the $200 paid J. E. Piety makes a total of $835. Then there is the Albrecht cfese decided yesterday. Up to date the amount is something like $4,161.25, and there are others.

A, MABTIM SVILLB FABMXR HAS 80HI TEBBK HAtJTK SXPKBIKVC& WMW3 Homer Wagner and SUM Webber Visit
Terre Haute—Wagner Steals Weber's Horse—Thief Is Captured.
SilaS Webber, a farmer, living near Martinsville, 111., drove over to Terre Haute Wednesday to see the sights and high houses and Incidentally lay lii- a fresh supply of emoklrigr tobacco. He didn't -like to drive along the dark road alone, so he brought a friend with Mm. The friend was a young Sucker named 'Hbmer Wagner. They sperit the day afbojit the city and when night .came they decided to mot start 'home until morning. They put up at the Henderson House on South Fourth and after they had loitered about town- a while, Webber (got sleepy amd went to bed. Wagmer said he had not got Ms fill of hi'gh life yet and would femair® up, wander along the -line and enjoy the melodies of the wheezy old ipiamos along the levee. The trwo Illinois cronfes separated—"Webber went to the blisaful precincts of Dream} and Wagner went some place else^^J he dildm't go on foot. When Webber a'woke and iwent out to feed Ms teanj yesterdiay morning, he found -his best horse gone. He relp'orted the anatter-to the police and •they soon •kiairn-sd'iyi'at iW'agmer ha/d confisaated WeWber'^-horse. They began a search tov"
("Webber's im'tesfng
friend and -learned he'had left the city. Continuing the search, they Hownd the -horse. Wagner had -rid den. him up to Sandbur Hollow an,d_-traded him to Joe Porter. Porter Is a man who dotct takes a horse umlej^he get-3 it at a bargain and in
punctoasinig fhe animal
from Watmer he made mo exception. In consideration for the horse, which Is an exceptionally good animal, Porter generously gave -up flin old silver watch, worth- perhaps, 40 cents, $3 in money and an old grease-heeled horse, which he has been cunningly hiding from the humane officer for the past six months. Porter was too tender hearted to kill the old horse and was only waiting for htm to die so he could get the'hide. The police took possession of Webber's horse and turned it over to him. Then they -began the seajch for Wagner. Messages were sent in every direction and about 3 o'clock the police department received a message from Asa V. Newman, marshal of 'Martinsville, that Wagner had arrived at that place and was under arrest, waiting, the, pielure of ^.he Vigo authorltiep. The mwrshal was wired to hold the prisoner, at aJl. hazards and an officer would, come for Mm. The police were surprised to hear of .Wagner returning to Martinsville after stealing the horse, as he might have known he would be captured. The police think there is some mystery connected with the job or else Wagner was so drunk he didn't know what he was doing when he returned to his home. Sheriff Sutler will go to Martinsville today and try to induce the thief to return to Indiana without putting the county to the expense of procuring requisition papers.

She was subsequently fined fined amd, as mdilther she mtojr Scott held thie momieiy too pay Ith'e fine, she waff sanft to jai3.
Scott Belnstates the Hired Girl. She was no sooner out of jail than Scott hunted her up and took her back to his home, telling his wife that she must let the girl* alone. He Insisted •th'at Miss Melson was h-ls company and that while he iwas entertaining the girl, -Mrs. Umble was to .play the cold remains—'lay dead* as it were. Mrs. U'mble played the part assigned her for a while, then she -got tired and told her troubles to .the police. She.said that the Melson woman completely monopolized Soott and that she d'Pdn't receive any -more attention about the place than the house cat. She said that Scott and his guest occupied the best room in the house and thut she was luoky If .She was permitted- to sleep on the hearth In front of the fireplace. IShe didn't want to prosecute her husband—she only wanted the police to assist her im forcing Miss Melson to move her Saratoga from the U-mble wigwam so she would have a chan-ce to sort of get acquainted with Scott. Umble and the woman were brought into court, .where Scott feigned repentance and made an eloquent talk in his own behalf. He fe-aid he was sorry he had permitted -his female friends to intrude on the rights of his wife, but 'if they would let him go he would send the Melson girl home and would in fu'toire live in compliance with the true American principles of one country, one flag amd one wife at a time. Mrs. Umble Interceded in her husband's behalf and the guilty pair were permitted to go.
The Girl Comes Back.
•All went well for a time but Anally Scott fell from grace—he couldn't longer endure the idea of showering all his affections on one poor weak woman* so he sent for the Melson woman And reinstated her as his "hired girl." Since the girl's return, the conduct of her and Umble has been shameful and the wife has -been forced to quietly submit toy threats of violence (if she told the police. The Melson girl, with Scott's Indorsement, "ruled -the roost," and It was a common occurrence for her to assault Mrs. Umble, when the woman, goaded almost beyond endurance, would remonstrate with her husband' and try and induce h?m to keep the promise he had mad© to the prosecutor. The conduct of the guilty .pair -became the talk Of the neighborhood anld yesterday the facts were reported to the police. Warrants were sworn out by Patrolman Htaton and Umble was arrested yesterday. He was at first defiant amd ga/ve the police to understand that he would do pretty much as he Ifked aibout keeping the Melson woman and that as he furnitshed his wife all she wanted to eat It was none of her -business. When, he realized the gravity of fhe charge against Mm, he ihanged his tune and began to plead for -mercy, «aylrig he would reform If allowed to go. His talk won him nothing and he was called for trial. He /was not ready to plead to the charge and the case was 6on« tinued until 2 o'clock this afternoon.
Scott Pleads With His Wife.
The prisoner at first thought (he could not be convicted because the girl had made her esoape, 'but when informed that he could be convicted on the testimony of his wife he saw the "Jig was up" and asked that his wife be sent for that he might fa&ve a talk with her. Mrs. Umble was brought to the police station and when her husband began to plead with her not to prosecute him, she was Inclined to relent and had it mot been for the officers she would have promised Soott that she would not appear In court today. Mayor Ross gave Mrs. Umble to understand what she might expect if she Ignored the court's summons and remained away and warned her that she will fare better If she appears as a witness against her husband who has treated her So shamefully. The mayor wan considering the propriety of sending Mrs. Umble to Jail to detain her as a witness When she gave her promise that she would be on hand when the case is called this afternoon and was allowed to go.
It was reported that the -woman had left town, but this proved to be a mis-
take. She called at the Jail last night and wanted to see Umble but was re fused admission unless- she procured an order from Mayor Ross, who committed him. The woman was dressed In -black and was heavily veiled to prevent the •police from recognizing her on the street She took advantage of the fact that Jailer Knight did not -know her and with all the Importance of a drum major at rutted up to the Jail door and •aid: "I want to see Mr. Scott Umble,

SCHOOL TRUSTEES MEETING.
Routine Business Transacted—The New School Buildings. The board of sphool trustees, after several changes In dates and a great deal of uncertainty, met yesterday afternoon at -the High School. Tonight Is the time for the meeting but as the board desired to be present at the graduating exercises the date was changed, first to last night and finally to yesterday. afternoon. All of the members are supposed to -have been present. The bills were allowed as usual, the bill of the Globe Printing Co., for printing library catalogues, which has been repeatedly laid over, being In the list. The trustees thought the charge was too high but the opinion of experts was that it was -altogether reasonable.
Specimens of the mew educational cat-, alogue were placed before the board/: The catalogue is for the information of teachers and' persons Interested in teaching and sohool work. There are in the public library some 12,000 periodicals containing instructive articles on school work. These magazines were all looked UP, the articles found and entered on the catalogue In order that they may be •readily turned to by persons desiring this kind of reading. There are fiftysix pages in this catalogue. The trustees accepted the 500 patent toookholders recently purchased as an experiment. Work at the kindergarten was discussed. Superintendent Wiley announced that Miss Lewis, who is attending the Indiana-polls school, would return in- a short time and take charge of the work. The board ordered reference -books on physical giography purchased for the High School.
Mention was made of 'the dismissal of the schools in order that the children might attend -the Liberty Bell exercises. A matter of record was made of the fact. The librarian reported seventyfour certificates properly signed. The board, was apprised of the fact that there Is often too much work at the public llbray on Saturdays for the regular librarians to do. It is likely one of the supply teachers, probably Miss Weills, will -be asked to assist with the work.
The iboard will hold its next meeting 00 February 7th, one week earlier than the regular time. On the 14th the trustees will be busy with the architects who will submit plans for the new school buildings. Superintendent Wiley called the board's attention to the muddy condition of the different school yards, but as there seems to be no way ,of Insuring relief no action was taken.

"We therefore confidently appeal to the .people of the United States that leaving In abeyance for the moment all other questions, however important, even 'momentous they may appear and sundering If need be at the former party affiliations they unite In a supreme effort to free themselves and their children from the domination of the money •power—a power more destructive than any which has ever -been fastened upon the civilized mem of any race or in any age.
