SrOKK FOR WATTS. Col. David Falrleigh. of Louisville, next a poke for Attorney Watts, and made an able argument, lie said to the court at the beginning that he believed one of the highest pleasures In the world Is to be able to understand and to be understood. More heartaches and troubles come to the world In which we live from the fact that we will not and do not. understand our brothers. What Is there in all this that smacks of conspiracy? ne asea. jie said he must believe that this court will not proceed unon ausDlclon. "I know it will not." hA declared. He ald he did not know of a single, solitary fact that connects William W. Watts with the retaking of the property from the federal receiver. He realized that Judze Anderson has the power to im prison these men and he talked of the great rfsnonslbllity that rests on a judge with ' this power vested in him. He hoped the court would not forget for a moment that It was bearing a great responsibility in this case. "I know that you will not exercise that power," the attorney said, "unless you are certain you will make no mistake." The closing argument was made by District Attorney Keating, who spoke briefly, lie declared he and his associate found thla prosecution no pleasant task.' He was glad these men have been represented by the ablest counsel in Louisville glad that men of renown came to testify to their high standing and good character. He hoped the court would give them the benem or their former high character. Mr. Keating alluded to Attorney Smith's characterlzation of Charten Kelso as a star witness and made the assertion mat Kelso was the only one Of the men in this case chareed with n Oifense that came before the court and testi fied aD-oiuteiy to the truth In the case.

The district attorney suggested that perhaps Kelso could also have brought citizens from his home city to testify as to his reputation.

It is understood that should Judge Ander son decide against the defendants to-day their case will be taken to the United States Supreme Court. Ordinarily there are four ways of taking up a case to the Supreme Court. These four methods are by appeal, writ of 'error, habeas corpus and certiorari. In this case, however, there are Dut two ways open to the defendants. These are by habeas corpus and certiorari. Whether or not Ihe Louisville attorneys would be compelled to go to Jail nendins: consideration of the matter by the Supreme Court, in the event a decision is given against them, would depend on Judge Anderson, it is said.

HOTEL LOBBY GLEANINGS

CHICAGO THE MECCA OP INDIANA DE3I0CRATIC LEADERS. Presidential Doom Mar Be Launched at Iroquois Clab Annual Banquet Slondax Night. The leaders of the shattered, oft-defeated but dauntless legions of Indiana Democracy will go to Chicago Monday. In the evening of that day prominent Democrats from all over the middle West will foregather at the annual banquet of the Iroquois Club. Among the'lndlanians who have signified their intention of attending the banquet are MaJ. G. V. Menzies of Mount Vernon, B. F. Shlvely of South Bend, Hugh Dougherty of Bluffton, Joseph T. Fanning of Indianapolis, State Chairman W. II. O'Brien of Lawrenceburg, Alonzo Green Smith of Indianap olis, and T. Taggart, late of the capital city, out more recently of French lick. There will be others In the party, as Invi tations were sent to almost all' the Demo cratic state senators, as well as to other prominent party men. Tom Taggart, in talking of the banquet last night at the Grand, said that the Indiana people were locking forward to a great time. "Iroquois Club affairs are always all right," he said. "and we'll ha.ve a great time Monday night. The programme includes some of the. best speakers in this part of the country, and then the banquets are always occasions when every one loosens up and enjoys himself." "Will there be a presidential Doom launched?" "Oh. I don't know. You can't tell what. will happen when a lot of men get together at an affair like that and get a lot of en thusiasm started." replied Mr. Taggart. Stranger things have happened. At tne banquet in 1S92 the second Cleveland boom was launched, and it proved to be a winner. There was a biff crowd of Indiana men there that night to whoop things along, and they were all Cleveland men, too. Mr. Taggart has been credited with tak ing the initiative in a movement to line up Indiana Democrats for David B. Hill lor the presidential nomination in 1904, and while he disclaims any such Intentions, he does not do so very vehemently. When asked: if he thought there would be any attempt to give Hill a send-off at the Mon day night banquet, he rather evaded the question by answering that no one could tell at this time what might be done. However, his reminiscence of the Cleveland boom in 1832 was suggestive or sometnmg that" might be expected from the coming banquet. Mr. Taggart went down to French Lick last night, but he will return Monday to Join the party for Chicago. visits nonns-MEiuuLL house. Party Representing- Collier PnblUnlnic Company in the City. A party representing the Collier publica tion house, of New York, was In the city yesterday. Inspecting the local office of the house and visiting the Bobbs-Merrlll firm. In the party were Robert J.

Later the party went down to the Columbia Club, where they were Joined by Gen. Lew Wallace, of Crawfordsville. From the Colum bia Club the party went to the BobbsMerrill establishment' and spent the re mainder of the afternoon there. The party, which travels In a special car, left for Cincinnati at 6 o'clock last evening, and to-night will start for New York. Mr. Collier while In the city said that the party was merely making a tour of inspection of all the Western branch offices, and that there was no especial sig nificance to be attached to the visit to In dianapolis. He expressed himself as great ly pleased with Indianapolis as a business center and intimated that his llrm would greatly , enlarge its local headquarters, which are now located in the Stevenson block.

An Indiana man who has Just returned from a trip to Washington said last even ing at the Denison that the hullabaloo about liquor still being sold in the Capitol in violation of the Landis resolution adopted during the recent session was all bosh. "There is no liquor being sold in the Can!tol." he said, "and the Landis resolution is in full force and effect notwithstanding statements to the contrary that are being sent out Dy some 01 ine correspondents there who are eviaentiy running short of copy. For a few days there was a question as to who should enforce the order, and liquor was sold in the House restaurant, but the clerk or tne House decided that It was un to him and he issued the order that put a stop to it. The Capitol is no place now for a man witn a tnirst. Changes at the Grand. Changes have been made in the desk force at the Grand that result in the pro motion of Room Clerk William A. Holt to the position of assistant to Manager Ohmer. The position of assistant manager is a new one, necessitated by the Increasing business of the Grand, Mr. Ohmer finding it impos sible to give nis personal attention to all the details ot management. Mr. Holt is well qualified for his new duties, which he will assume to-day, as he has been in the hotel business for several yar. B. F. Day, of incennes, who has been connected with the Grand Hotel of that city, will succeed Mr. Holt as room clerk. Annnal Beefsteak Dinner.

RAILROADS WILL APPEAR READY TO PRESENT IDEAS ON GRADE CROSSING PR0DLE3I. Chairman Bennett, of Mayor's Com mission, Receives Notice of Proposed Action City Affairs. ' Chairman Henry W. Bennett, of the mayor's grade crossing commission, has re ceived unofficial notice from the railroads that they will in all probability be pre pared to appear before the commission early next week to present their ideas of the solution of the grade crossing puzzle. Mr. Bennett will call a meeting, probably for Tuesday, for the purpose of hearing the railroads. Railroad officials last night said they could not anticipate the proposal that would be made, as it was largely In the hands of their engineers. The proposal, however, is spoken of as one that la regarded as adequate In permanent charac ter and not one that seeks to take advantage of the powerlessness of the city to require track elevation. The plan may not differ much from the one proposed by City Engineer Nelson. May Do Array with "Engine" Houses. The Board of Public Safety may adopt a new regulation with reference to the num ber, of "engine" houses. Two-thirds of these houses have no engines, and the term Is not only a misnomer, but, carrying with It a number, creates some confusfon. The board has received the suggestion that all the buildings used by the fire department be designated as "Are stations' and be numbered permanently. The board will receive the plans prepared by Architect T. A. Winterrowd for the Raymond-street house in a few days. They were submitted to the Board of Public Works yesterday, and provision Is made for all the conveniences necessary to a fully equipped station. The new building will be located either in uarneia 1'arK or across from Its north entrance. A system of checking the collections in curb fees at the East market by the market master may also be adopted. At present the market master is rqquired to account monthly. This officer was formerly required to issue receipts for all collections and check the stubs with the clerk of the board. The total curb fees In 1902 were S2.S55. or which $614 was collected at the South Side market. The collections reported ior Jan uary and February at the East market aggregated 1192.50 and at the South Side $152.23. Many Cases of Pneumonia. Physicians are interested In the large number of cases of pneumonia In the city. Fourteen deaths have occurred In the last eight days and over forty deaths have occurred since Jan. 1. The prevalence of the grip is regarded as the cause or tne unusual number of cases. Clyde Porrer Quarantined. Superintendent of Parks J.

ALEXANDER'S NEW TRIAL

HE WILL BE PROSECUTED UNDER ANOTHER CHARGE. The State Is Thus Enabled to Secure Another Trial Judge Girl Demands Property Court Cases. Dr. Joseph C. Alexander will be brought to trial on a substituted Indictment on April 6, providing his attorneys do not secure a continuance of the case until a later date. The grand Jury yesterday returned a partial report in which was a true bill against Dr. Alexander and Rufus Cantrell, charging them with conspiring in the theft and disposition of the body of Rose Neidllnger, which was found in the Central College of Physicians and Surgeons dissecting room. The change In the indictment substitutes the count charging conspiracy in the crime of grave robbing for the count charging Dr. Alexander with unlawfully purchasing the body from Rufus Cantrell while knowing that the body had been stolen from its grave. When the indictment was returned Prosecutor Ruckelshaus asked Judge Alford to set the day of trial on the docket of the Criminal Court for April 6, and the request was granted. A capias was issued for the arrest of Alexander that his bond of $1,000 might be renewed. Later in the day a new bond for $1,000 was furnished with James L. Keach and Frank Groenwaldt as sureties. The new indictment against Dr. Alexan der will have the effect of securing the appointment of a different trial Judge than Special Judge John M. Bailey. The defense will apply for a change of venue from Judge Alford, who will grant the change and appoint some attorney mutually agreed upon by the attorneys for the prosecution and defense to act as special judge. Judge Bailey is objected to by the attorneys for the prosecution who took many exceptions to hts rulings during the last trial. He will not be reappointed, as the new indictment gives the State a pretext to object to nis appointment. This new phase of the Alexander trial excited much comment among lawyers yes terday. One of the attorneys for Alexander said he thought it greatly to the discredit of the prosecution to resort to a legal technicality to escape another trial with Mr. Bailey on the bench. He declared that the substitution of the Indictments was bad practice and it showed the Influence of the prosecutor with the grand Jury. The attorney was emphatic In asserting that the prosecution had resorted to a small trick to secure a new Judge, and he thought it exceedingly discourteous to Mr. Bailey. He said that during the last trial Mr. Bailey had ruled Impartially; had presided in an able and fair manner; had instructed the Jury according to the law of evidence, and admitted testimony that by a narrow view might have been declared irrelevant and Incompetent in order to give the State tne widest latitude in its prosecution of the case. Cantrell. who is in Jail, was also included in the Indictment. He is unable to furnish ball and will be held until after the second Alexander trial. DEMAND FOR HER PROPERTY. Miss Nannette Grote Sues Her Step father and Mother. Miss Nannette Grote, twenty-two years of age, yesterday filed a suit for the recovery of her Inheritance from her mother, Mrs. Margaret Collins, and her stepfather. Thomas E. Collins. In her complaint she accuses her parents of unlawfully retaining her portion of the estate of her father, Charles F. Grote, who died in St. Louis In 1SS7 leaving his widow and daughter heirs to equal shares of his estate, which was valued at a little more than $11.000. Mrs. Grote, now Mrs. Collins, was appointed executor of the will, which was probated in St. Louis, and accepted her daughter's share of the estate as a trust. k In the complaint filed Miss Grote says that in 1S0O her mother married Thomas E. Collins, who was without means. She fur nished him money for the maintenance of their home for several years, and later when he opened a drug store at 302 Indiana avenue furnished the money for the purchase of the store and stock. Since that time his business has prospered, Miss Grote avers, and he has Increased the original capital. With a portion of her money he has invested in real estate until now her share of her father's estate is worth $18.000. She alleges that she has demanded this sum from her parents and they have refused to give it her and "unlawfully retained it." Miss Grote in the three paragraphs of the complaint enumerates the different transactions of Collins with her money and describes the real estate. She demands a judgment against the two defendants for $18,000 and prays the court to appoint a com missioner to deed the real estate to her. Miss Grote is a young and beautiful woman and lives with Mr. Collins. Mr. Collins did not care to discuss the suit yesterday and said he knew nothing of It until the summons was served on him. GRAND JURY'S WORK. Indictments Returned In Three Crim inal Cases The Coal Exchange. The grand jury, returned indictments in three criminals cases yesterday. William Jackson, the colored man who was arrested a few weeks ago for entering a North Side dwelling house and carrying away much valuable property, was indicted for bur glary and petit larceny. He pleaded not guilty. Frank Shultz, charged with petit larceny and receiving sMlen goods, pleaded guilty, as did Harry Blttner, charged with petit larceny. Judge Al'ord continued the cases against the latter two men and did not sentence them. The grand Jury has not adjourned and will resume its Investigation of the Indian apolis Coal Exchange Monday, the prose cutor says. Several witnesses have, been subpoenaed, and until the jury hears their testimony the expected report will not be made. Prosecutor Ruckelshaus said yesterday that the investigation was not completed and would not be until all methods of securing evidence of violations of the law by the members of the Coal Exchange had been exhausted. Appellate Conrt Decisions. In affirming a judgment for $2,000 against the Consolidated Stone Company in favor of a workman living in Monroe county the Appellate Court held yesterday that the bad character of the decedent's widow cannot be proved as a defense to an action by an administrator for negligence causing the death of one who left a vidow and a child. The workman was crushed to death under a derrick. Bloomlngton police court records show that the widow had not been behaving properly at the time, but Judge Dowling, in handing down the decision of the court, said: "The amount of damages do not in any way depend upon the character or conduct of one or more of the per sons who might or might not be entitled to share in their distribution." The Appellate Court affirmed a judgment yesterday holding that Mrs. Anna D. Hughes is the absolute owner of the land left by her father, Samuel Delzell. late of Indianapolis. Mr. Delzell had attempted to suspend the power of selling the land for fifty years, at which time It was to go to the decendants of his daughter If she had any. The court held that the attempt to suspend was null and void and that the land belonged to Mrs. Hughes to do with as she pleased. Adopts Ills Stepdaughter. Herman II. Krieger petitioned the probate commissioner yesterday to be allowed to adopt Mrs. Matilda L. Gross. Krieger is an old man and has several children, but wishes to adopt Mrs. Gross, his stepdaughter. In order that she may be a legal heir to his property. Neither Mrs. Gross, who is over thirty-one years of age, nor her husband. Edwin E. Gross, have any objection to the adoption, and it was authorized by the probate commissioner. Biff Claim for Service. A Jury In the Circuit Court is hearing evidence to substantiate the claim of Mrs. Mary Head, an old colored woman, against the estate of the. late John Frick for $6.786 for wages claimed to be due her. .Mrs. Head's suit is against the Indiana Trust Company, administrator of the Frick estate. Her claim is based on alleged personal services to Frick during his illness

and until his death, which occurred about a year ago. She claims that for several years she nursed him and was never compensated for it, but expected to be remembered in the will, and was not. Argument by the attorneys and some testimony was introduced during the afternoon. Bound Over to Grand Jury. Rose Cubert, the woman arrested Thursday for enticing girls to her home for immoral purposes, was 'sent to the grand jury yesterday morning. The boys arrested at the time were allowed to go free. The two little girls were fined and sent to Jail for ten days. They will later be sent to the Reformatory. Judge Stubbs, in sentencing the Cubert woman, said he would recommend a long term In the penitentiary for her when the trial came up in the Criminal Court.

CHINESE ILMDENS SHUED. Lanterns Gleamed and Shorlrldge Chinatown" Opened Drlahtly. The smiles of petite Chinese maidens in smart Oriental costume, with klmonas of every color and the glare of many lights, made pleasurable the opening of the Chinatown fair of the senior class of 1903 of the Shortridge High School last night. For weeks the seniors had been, hard at work preparing for the entertainment, and when the fes tivities began the result of the labor was apparent, for th old hails of Shortridge were resplendent. Upon first entering the building the most

attractive object is the landing, -where all sorts of elaborate decorations are peen. All of the decorations arc after the Chinese style, and the idea of a Chinatown felr has been carried out In every particular. The whole building has been strung with electric lights Inclosed by Japanese lanterns, giving color to the entire scene. An Improvement over former entertainments was the stationing of the orchestra on the landing, so that both upper and lower halls were free for the dancers, who took charge of the festivities after the vaudeville show. The booths are one of the many features of the fair. They are much more elaborate than last year, and with the colors of theorganization, gold and green, as a barkground, furnish a most pleasing view. Tho hot drinks booth, where the fair Chln? maidens serve coffee and tea in the offle of Principal Hull, and a lattice work of gay colors, makes thU decidedly attractive. Oa the landing between the old and new build ings is the candy booth, from which the odor of the famous Shortridge fudge tempts the stranger. There are two much-soueht resorts on the second floor the punch booth at the north end and the Ice cream booth at the south. No doubt the prettiest nart of tho decorations are found In the large assembly hall, where booths are built wound the south and west sides. Around the top of the entire row are paper flowers of purple and white. Among these are the art booth. at which the stranger is shown college pil lows and posters. One of the interesting shops is the camera booth, where the pictures of the athletic teams of the blue and white, photographs of the members of the faculty and pictures of many other celebrities of the institution can be purchased. This shop is the only one that had everything donated, and when the fair closed last night already had made a large amount of money. As the observer leaves the fancy work booth he Is attracted to a weird tent from which comes the odor of Incense. This Is the fortune-telling; booth, and It is here that "Madame Fanfan" through her wonderful power relates one's life from the cradle to the grave, all for 10 cents. The vaudeville show last night was enJoyed by an audience that filled the assembly hall. The afternoon programme to-day will be furrished by Moy Kee and bis wife. and the fair will come to a close this evening with the presentation nf "A -Likely Story." by William lean Howells. by a cast from the class.

Walter Day AHovred to Go Ilona Doys Sent to Grand Jury Fire-Year-Old rnglllsts. Judge Stubbs In Juvenile court yesterday severely lectured William Beeson, a grocer In West Indianapolis, for buying coal from Walter Day, a small boy who pleadeS guilty that he had stolen the coal from railroad cars. The boy was arraigned on week ag-o, but pleaded not guilty. Tho case was continued one week. Beeson volunteered to testify against the boy. In so doing he brought himself in disfavor with the court and It was said that an affidavit charging him with receiving stolen goods would likely be Issued. Beeson was called to the stand and admitted that he purchased 50 cents' worth of coal from the boy. The policeman making the arrest testified that Beeson had often given the boys cakes and candy for bringing him coal. This Irritated Judge Stubbs, who severely reprimanded Beeson for countenancing the action of the boy. Judge Stubbs, after hearing Beeson's testimony, allowed the boy to gt home with his father, holding that the toy' actions resulted from the favor shown him by Beeson In purchasing the coal. Clyde Miller, William Bernhart, Henry Ellway and Elmer Klefer, cnarged with stealing twelve pounds of tobacco from a railroad car, were sent to the grand Jury. The boys pleaded not guilty, but evidence of several other boys that the boys had the tobacco In their possession warranted Judge Stubbs In sending them to the grand i Jury. Two little, well-dressed boys, charred with assault and batten, were arraigned, but Judge Stubbs discharged them. Tho boys were about five years old. Th?y appeared In court quite self-possessed. When they walked before Judge Stubbs the latter smiled and in his fatherly way lectured them for engaging in the fight. He patted each on the head and allowed them to go home with their parents.
