NOTHING TO CONCEAL

HENRY GEORGE PLAINLY DEFINES HIS POLITICAL VIEWS

Upon Which His Candidacy Is Based—He Is a Free Trader, Bat Not in Ardent 81lverlte.

New York, Oct. 4.—The Journal today prints an interview with Henry George, in which he say6: "I have been informed that there is a panic in the Tammany camp. The leaderfc are alarmed at this sudden uprising of mdd who are tired of the despotism of the machine. According to all, reports there is good cause for fear. But it is not confined to the managers of any one party.. Of course, I am not speaking of my own knowledge. I only give what comes to me from trustworthy sources. According to confidential information, received this evening, a 'hurry call' was sent out today by the Tammany managers, summoning the district leaders td immediate council. A g^eat danger was said to be imminent. It was reported that offers of substantial aid for our movement had been made by responsible men, who said they stood ready to help the cause in all directions. "I am willing to express myself clearly oo ell the questions at issue. My plan of campaign is to tell the truth. I have nothing to conceal. The fact that I am a candidate for mayor will not cause me to change any of ray views. My opinions are founded, on principles that are not to be changed, because of. the campaign.

IS A FREE TRADER.

"I am a free trader. This may prevent tome persons from supporting me. If so, I cannot help it. I am not adjusting my views to the exigencies of a political canvass. What I believe to be for the best for the country and' for the people I shall advocate. I am a free trader pure and simple. I recognize no difference between a national and municipal campaign, so far as honest politics are concerned. In both cases we want honest men, who believe in an honest administration of the laws. "This is why I say, the men before the grand jury asking for an indictment of the tax commissioners, if they keep on fighting, will surely win. The Central Labor Union b^s assumed an impregnable position. It demands that the laws shall toe enforced without respect to the wealth and position of the individuals, against whom the charges have been made. "And right here the principles of single tax come into play. The insurance cases are particularly pertinent just now. The Central Labor Union claims, as I understand it, that the Equitable Life Insurance Co. valued Its property at $12,000,000 in its returns made to the state insurance board at Albany. But* when the local New York assessor came around it put in its valuable property at $2,000,000. With single tax in force these robberies and corruption of men in office would be avoided. "But why should I go on to illustrate? These questions have been discussed and spread broadcast in our literature. It has been shown that most of the present evils are the result of political conspiracy and crime.

HIS VIEWS ON SILVER.

"In regard to the silver question, I have nothing to conceal. I say now what I said repeatedly during the Bryan campaign that, while I was supporting that gentleman and would vote his ticket, I was not a believer in the theory that silver was a remedy for the evils that beset the country. "I shall discuss the silver question exactly as I discussed-it during the presidential campaign. We have.nothing- to present but the truth. We have no ^schemes, .no secret policies, no political traps for our enemies— nothing but the cold, naked truth. On these lines we shall make our fight. If our enemies can meet us on the platform in public debate or wherever they care to discuss the issues before the people, they will at least show that they are sincere in what they call their convictions. '•I am well satisfied with the beginning we have mide. The young men on our committees are able and enthusiastic. The Cooper Institute meeting will be a success, judging from the reports coming in from friends coming to "us from the ranks of the different parties. "In my'-fepeech at the Cooper Institute on Tuesday evening I shall speak freely, evading none bf the questions which politicians are handling so gingerly. I am a free trader, and on that line I shall fight it out. If I am defeated it will not alter my principles or change my views. I believe that single 'ax will bring prosperity and equalize the burdens that now oppress humanity, bearing heavily on the poor and lightly on the favored rich."

TAMMANY IS ALARMED.

Richard Croker and John C. Sheehan' have,, it is reported, telegraphed an apt «l to William Jennings Bryan to use his Influence in pulling Henry George out of the mayoralty race. Tammany leaders are alarmed at the prospect of George walking away with most of the Democratic vote as a part of his silver-labor following. It was not until today that the Tammany leaders began to view the candidacy of Georgei Seriously, but the action of the Democratic alliance last night in nominating George and adopting a platform has convinced them, that George is in the game to stay and will cripple the straight Democratic vote.

Mr. Bryan has persistently refused to interfere in the local campaign, although he has written several confidential letters urging his friends to stand by the Chicago platform. The leaders of Tammany will make a determined effort to have him indorse their ticket.

The telegram said to have been sent to Mr. Bryan asks him to show his gratitude for Tammany's support last year. Ir is not improbable that a trusted representative of the wigwam will be sent to Lincoln to see him.

The followers of Tammany in the Central Labor Union yesterday succeeded temporarily in preventing that organization from formally indorsing the nomination of Henry George for mayor of Greater New York, but they did so only by insisting on the rule of the union prohibiting political discussions of any kind at its meetings. •The statement of the majority of the delegates was so evidently in favor of George that nothing can prevent the union from throwing its weight into the scale for him before election day. Several of the delegates who voted with the Tammany men explained afterward that they did so only because they did not care to take the responsibility of speaking on so important a matter for their constituents without definite instructions. They declared, however, that the rank and file of their union are almost to a man for George—and is 4 foregone Conclusion that most of the labor unions, which will meet this we?Ic, will indorse George's candidacy and instruct their delegates to demand of the Central Labor Union that it fal! in line. •CITIZENS' UNION TURNED DOWN.

The Republican city committee declared yesterday that General Tracy and his associates on the Republican ticket are in the field to stay that the day of overtures to the Citizens' Union is past. Representatives of the different boroughs of the city met, and after & four hours' session arrived at a solution. The statement decided on recites that the Republican organisation has made every effort to effect

a union of the forces opposed to Tammany, and the failure of these attempts 1b due solely to the position of the Citizens' Union, "which persistently refused to cottsldef1 any other candidate for mayor than one individual." After declaring union on such terms impossible the Republican city committee therefore resolved: "That the candidates nominated by the Republican city convention, for mayor, Benjamin F. Tracy for comptroller, Ashbel P. Fitch for president of the municipal council, R. Ross Appleton, will remain in the field until the polls close on the night of election day, and every voter who, upon any ground, is opposed to the restoration of Tammany Hall and Bryanism, is urged to give his prompt and active support these, the only anti-Tammany candidates who can be elected."

English Views of It.

London, Oct. 4.—The newspapers her© generally pay much attention to the New York political campaign, publishing long articles, dispatches and editorials on the subject. The Globe says: "Judging from the Times' dispatch, Henry George will be the next mayor. The Americans do not exceed a quarter of the whole population, and the European anarchists, socialists, Italians, Poles, Hungariens and Russians— all the very lowest of their .race—will support the man whese childish economics and wild theories are derided in every capital in Europe. These being the people who sway public opinion, it is the height of absurdity to rave about blood being thicker than water."

The Pall Mall Gazette's articlo, written by an American, concludes wita stating that Tammany will win.

TALK WITH "JOHNNY" JOHNSON.

Popular With the Prison Officials—Consideration Shown to Him. Special to the Indianapolis News.

Logansport, Ind., Oct. 4.—uyle Emmett, a well known business man of this city, returned from Columbus, O., Saturday, wheie he visited the federal piison and taiked with "Johnny" Johnson, v.-ho wreske.l the State National Bank at Logansport, of which he was president, his defalcation aa-ounting to over half a million dollars. Although it is less than six months since Johnson was. sentenced, he us airiMdy one of *he trusties in the prison. Kg l-oll® the most responsible position in Warden Coffin's office, end' 'nothing about £:s garb or actions be'oken the, •'prUsoner. He dresses in a near, gray bttSftrtfes suit, and performs his work so wetff {hat he consults his own inclinations in' i-egard 'to hours. As Mr. Emmett startfcdctt fe&ve, at the close of an hour's visit, Johnsoh remarked: "Wait a minute, and I will go with you." He got his hat, and, bowing to the guards, accompanied Mr. Emmett several blocks to the railway station.

Johnson's personality is attractive. 'He1 is one of the most popular men about the prison. He maintains that he never intentionally defrauded a man of a dollar. Ho told Emmett that he proposed to serve his time like a man and return to Logansport with the determination of repaying his creditors. He will find* it a formidable task to liquidate debts to the extent of $500,000, to say nothing of interest. Mrs. Johnson still lives here, and seems to be making mon^y, operating the hardware store owned by her husband before his failure. She spends a great deal of her time at the store and gives her personal supervision to the books aad the management of the business.

ANDERSON POSTOFFICE.

DE PAUW UNIVERSITY.

The Fottball SqtfkbBle and Other MattersCroquet Probably Tabooed. Special to the Indiananolls Journal.

Greencastle, Ind., Oct 3.—Sandwiched in with the usual Sunday sermons at DePauw today was the absorbing topic of football and the speculation as to whether or not DePauw would have a representative teairf'tlils fall. Knots of students1 and not a fe^ t|tizens were to be seen on the street cora.jjs^il11 i*0" tel lobbies and other public places discussing the sensational incidents of the past twenty, four hours. The students are thoroughly aroused on the subject and are of opinion that the university should have 9 team of football players that would britiir fame and credit to the institution, Vtb&i the Ecores of Saturday's games arrival Pn the Sunday papers and it was seen that PUrdue had only defeated the State Normal"fcy 28 to 0. and Indiana University had' b/ hard work managed to merely tie Rose Polytechnic, the boys of DePauw felt that with sncU a team as they had in view ihey coi^W easily win the championship, or at leas make a better showing than they had for 3^irs-.

The question of football is :hc all-'ab.^r1}-ing one. On the one «idejt la alleged by those of the faculty opposed, to Williamson, the player in dispute, that 5he list' year received money for his work and thus violated a rule of the Athletic Association which condemn^ such transaction but on thn other h*n£ the Athletic Association cljiinjs tiat

TERRE HAUTE EXPRESS. TUESDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 5.1897.

Williamson has cot been paid a cent by the association for his work. Fraternity matters cut some figure in the cse, as some of the fraternity aaen are proud of a brother who is an athlete, ml, while some of the football men may have received assistance from this or that society, the denial is made strong and positive that the Athletic Association has never put up a cent of expenses for fottball material at DePauw.

There are, of course, two sMes to

his

question. A prominent trustee states that there is considerable feeling among the Methodists of the state against football, and that some of the prospective donors to the funds that will haye to be raised this year to supply the deficit in the finances are opposed to giving money if football is to oe encouraged. When the argument is made that the State University and Purdue loss no opportunity to secure good football material, the old question of denominational schools and state institutions bobs up, and the reply ia that DePauw, being of the former class, and the latter are of the variety that Is answerable to the legislature alone, is sprung, and there the matter again is in a hitch.

The question means the life or the death of athletics at DePauw and is a question that has to be settled how for all time. It has been smoldering along for several years, and now the crisis is thought to -be at hand. Athletics at DePauw have many strong admirers among the faculty, as well as among the students and- the citizens, and the glittering success of the base ball team of last year, which team won the state championship, added greatly to t'aat zeal.

A story afloat today that borders on the ridiculous is to the effect that croquet, which was formerly a popular game at the theological dormitory, had been tabooed and squelched on the ground that it looked too much like the game of billiards. This is merely a rumor, however, but, the balls are not rolling these days on ths green sward surrounding Florence hall.

RELIC OP THE PAST

HULL OF AN OLD STEAM BOAT FOUND IN tHK WABASH KIVER.

It la That of the Steamer "Visitor," Which Was in Collision With the "Hiram Powers."

A few days ago Edward Tetzel, Treasurer^ elect John L. Walsh and s. few other Wall street nimrods went down the river on a fishing trip. While on this trip they made a discovery which'will call to the mrnds of the old residents of Terre Haute the details of a steamboat wreck.

None but the very old residents will recall the facts, but it was in the good old days, in the days when fiatboating was big thing on the Wabash river. It was in the days, when the old Early pork house was in operation and thou3uids upon thousands of barrels of pork were sent down the river to New Orleans.

In 1842 two of the largest boats on the Wabash river were the "Visitor" and the "Hiram Powers." The "Visitor" was the larger craft, in fact the largest boat ever floated in the Wabash. Old river men do not recall the exact length of the, boat, but she was capable of carrying 360 tons and in addition to being a very large steamer was fast vessel. It was late jn the fall of 1842 that the "Visitor" made her last trip, and it was not until a few d.iys ago that anything had been seen of the boat.

The boat steamed out from the arf late In the evening in the fall of 184£. She had a heavy cargo on board. There was freight of all kinds and not a few passengers. The craft, so river men say, was bound for New Orleans and loaded to the decks, she swept out into the current. Down at what is now known asnthe "Little White Bar" the "Visitor" met Ihe "Hiram Powers." The Powers was also heavily loaded, having come up from Evansville. Just what was the matter with the Powers no one 6esn yesterday could remember, but at any rate thd steamer, Instead of keeping to the right and letting the "Visitor" pass, steered to the west bank of the river and there was a terrible collision.

The "Visitor" had a big hole stove in her side and in a very few minutes went to the bottom of the river with her cargo. The Powers was also' damaged, but she managed to get into the city. The cargo of the sunken "Visitor" was taken off, but the boat was never raised. The course of the river changed in a few years and the

Visitor" was forgotten. At the point where she went down there was soon a sand bar. A few years ago the river changed back into the old channel and the sand bar which covered the "Visitor" was washed away. At present the river is extremely low, and when the Tetzel and Walsh party went down the river on the fishing trip they had occasion to pass "Little White Bar." There they saw a peculiar object, and going to it found it was the bull of a big steamer. An old river man was found and he quickly recalled the collision between the "Hiram Powers" and the "Visitor." The boat is on the Ijams farm and can be seen as long as the river remains low.

WAS A HIGH ROLLER

HB DRANK CHAMPAGNE AND 8FEHT HIS MONEY LIKE A PRINCE.

It Wu Stolen Moner, However, and Now William Atherton I* Occupying a Cell at the Jail.

Policeman "Rosy" Lyons and Detectives McRae and Dwyer were three of the busiest men is the city yesterday evening. They arrested ft young high roller, who is wanted at Indianapolis, and ah old t|tne horse thief, who is undoubtedly wanted somewhere near Terre Haute.

It was Sunday afternoon that William E. Atherton came to Terre Haute. Atherton is about 21 years

age, is slim in build and is

about 5 feet 4 inches in height. He has been here before, and is known among the women of the town as the best! thing that ever came down the chute. William Atherton had not been long in Terre Haute until he engaged Scott Bandy, the hack driver, to take him over the course. This Bandy proceeded to do. They went to Madame Brown's place, on Second street, and there Atherton remained.

He was dressed in a neat fitting tweed suit, wore a diamond, and when it came to a display of the long green he was the best horse in the race. He pulled a roll of bills from his pocket large enough to choke a yearling calf, and with a good deal of chest expansion gave it out that he was ready to consign the whole of it to the flames if it were necessary. To 6how that he was all right he took a small bill from the roll and touching it to the gas jet lighted a cigarette with it. The next thing he did was io order a few bottles of champagne. He bought all there was In the house and not having enough he got Into his hack and proceeded to Murphy's saloon, where he laid in a supply of Mumms sufficient to bring, on unbounded hilarity at the Brown resort.

He went back again and tho next heard of William Atherton was yesterday morning at 3:30, when he sent a hackman down to Sage's restaurant for three dozen fried oysters, two chickens and a half dozen bottles of olives. A few pounds of candy, cakes and nuts completed the $6 order at Sage's. Then he went back to the scene of revelry at Brown's, and there he remained until yesterday evening ,]jfhen Detectives McRae and Dwyer and Ofjigef Lyons walked in and cut short. t$e .cfoyrjpyjjBe destruction. William Athertqi* is, at Indianapolis. It was at 6 o'jcIoq^ yesterday when the police received a telegram ,J!rpm Acting Superintendent Quigley^givj'i^.' a description of the fellow. The, tel.egr3.jq- stated the young man was a "very sporty!' individual and in all probability would be found about the first class saloons or in a house of ill-repute. Officer Lyons had made report of the doings of the high roller at Brown's, and when the telegram came it was a cejtainty that the right man was within easy grasp of the police. There is a charge of grand larceny against him at Indianapolis, and an officer from the capital city will.be here today to take him back. Jennie Blakely, the housekeeper at Brown's, turned over to the police $72 belonging to Atherton,

OLD HORSE THIEF CAUGHT.

He Was Trying to Dispose of a Good Rig When Captured. Detectives McRae and Dwyer and Patrolman Lyons arrested Harry Holdy, an old time horse thief, yesterday evening. The fellow was jailed and there is reason to believe the arrest of the man will soon bring to light the fact that he has stolen the rig found in his possession yesterday evening. Hoddy was sent to the penitentiary from this city in 1893 and taking the time of his commitment Into consideration he has been out of prison but a few weeks, possibly two months. He was arrested here on October 1, 1883, for stealing a rig from N. H. McFerrin of North Fifth street. He was taken before Judge Taylor and sentenced to five years' imprisonment.

His picture is No. 97 of the rogues' gallery. Hoddy came to Terre Haute yesterday iporning and immediately began trying to sell a fine horse and a bran new buggy. The buggy was an end spring, leather lined vehicle'antfi'lookM aS though it had" just been run out of the shops. The name plate had been taken ofi the rear axle and the name? of tlfe manufacturer was not to be determined.- Hoddy offered no resistance when approached* by the officers. Indeed, he is too Well acquainted with the Terre Haute police to make a stand. Officer Lyons had been watching him for some time prior to his arrest and finally sent for the detectives. Both Dwyer and McRae recognized him the minute they saw him and Dwyer called him by 'name. Hoddy did not deny his idehtity. bul' declared he came by the rig honestly. "TSfe fellow has served one term at ^feffir^n^ine, one at Michigan City and onViit'Sf. Louis. He is regarded as one of tS^inpst successful horse thieves in the coij^y^,.,,

ARE HARD AND HEAVY

THE BLOWS D. N. TAYLOR IS RKCEIV. ING AS HDGVLEY'S ATTORNEY.

Even a Hint That, the Gre*jca«tle Matter Was "Flxod Up"—A Continuance 8ecared In the Foreery Case.

The case against Harry Huguley, the forger, which was to have been called this morning in the Circuit Court, has been indefinitely postponed. D. N. Taylor and Ira Klsner, his lawyers, appeared before the court yesterday morning and asked for more time. Huguley has been through several experiences since he was declared Insane and was sent to Indianapolis under the care of Dr. Fletcher, the nervous disease specialist, an4 formerly superintendent of the state asy-« lum. On the 22d of last month he managed, it is said, to slip through the hands of nis keepers and make his way to Greencastle. He hadn't been in that place more than an hour or so until he committed forgery, doing it in such a way that he would make sure of Insanity proceedings, whether such was his intention or not.

Huguley returned to Indianapolis, and al« most immediately Taylor, his attorney, went to Greencastle and followed him over t£ Indianapolis. Huguley, was at once taken back to Greencastle, and there an indictment was returned against him, the grand jury being at the time in session. In a day or two h« was tried and a special plea of insanity acquitted him. An inquest was held, and h« was declared insane. The papers were made out and sent to Indianapolis. Quick work.

This case is developing more bitterness in legal circles than any one has for a long time. Some, bitter accusations are mad against Taylor. One charge is that the legal transactions at Greencastle were all a "put up job" by the defense. The argument In support of this theory is the extreme and unusual haste with which they went through.

Another charge is in regard to a detail of each of the three proceedings by which Huguley has been declared insane. First he twas tried here, then in Indianapolis and lastly at Greencastle. In each place he was declared of unsound mind. Now, in order that such proceedings hold in law, the subject whose mental powers are under con-: sideration must be' declared a bona fide resident of the county in which the court ltf held.

When Huguley was put on trial here ofl his sanity, he was declared to be a resident of Vigo county, although he had* been iq Indianapolis for some months before, and id had been a year since he had made his fly-j ing visit to Terre Haute, during which forged the check for which he was Indicted, The asylum authorities refused to acceptt him and he was taken to a private sanita-j rium at Indianapolis. A few weeks lateri he was tried for sanity there and declared, so it is said, to be a bona fide resident ofl Marion county. And laBt week he changed* his residence again and became, as far as* the papers went, a resident of Putnam coun-, ty. The statement is made that Taylor, as attorney, made these affidavits of residence,, and that he instigated all these trials. Embraced in the accusations made by the prosecuting attorneys is the charge that there are a few physicians of the city who are said to be "under Taylor's thumb," having accompanied Taylor to both the insanity proceedings at Indianapolis and Greencastle.

Last evening Prosecutor Ticbenor, who had been over at Indianapolis the day before to look into the case, received a telegram from Superintendent Edenharter, of the asylum, saying Huguley had been rejected the third time. It is understood this rejection is the result of the authorities' decision that his case Is chronic and incurable. It is very doubtful if he will ever be tried for his many breaches of the law.

Attorney Taylor stated in court yesterday that if the trial of his client for forgery is urged, the defense would make the most thorough preparations and have witnesses from all over the country. He added that the county would pay the costs of the trial, the witnesses and all the incidentals. This means that Huguley will be introduced into oourt as a poor man. This will be largely at variance with the line of battle hitherto followed by the lawyer for the defense.
