Preacher Who Is Chief Executive of
the Hoosier State.
Chicago Tribune


Some people sneer at the preacher in
politics, claiming that he is out of his
sphere. However, the career of IDdiana's
preacher Governor does not warrant sneer
or even criticism. Governor Ira Jay Chase
has made the older Republicans of his State,
from leaders down 10 the humbleSt voter
look on SURPRISED at a new leader OF the
party in the HOosier State. His prominence
in politics after semi-0 bScurity as a preacher
has been sudden and therefore the more
worthy OF attention.
Governor Chase is small, short man,
smooth faced, very quick. rather nervous
in his action, and full of Y Yankee genialty
of the sort most found among New England
storekeepers. He Las shreWd, keen busi-
ness ability, and he has applied TO his polt-
ical life the lessons of his early business
training as New York Yankee. He and
his wife talked long and pleasantly about
their early life, their struggles and the pros
poets OF his political future. He is i'm

As has been published in The STAR. the kill
ing of Mr.. Young. according to the confession
Of one Of the three Young negroes committed to
Jail and the testimony Of several witnesses, was
not matter of sudden impulse. but the result
of a well-conceived plan devised some months
ago BY William III. CANT, the oldest Of the three
young men Cant IL a copper-colored mulatto,
nineteen years Of age He is Of slender build.
8 feet So inches in height and weighs 40
pounds. His features are repulsiye, his general
appearance being that of an ignorant and
vicious being. Cant was born in this city, Ii @
laborer by occupation and is not unknown in
police circles, although he was never convicted
Of any serious crime. Ii will be
remembered that at the preliminary hear
ing Of the three boys in the Police Court
last Tuesday testimony was given to the effect
that George III. Hardy had confessed to the
police at the eighth precinct station that he
struck the blow which killed Mr.. Young. His
alleged confession was to the effect that Cant
approached him and Edward Norris several
weeks before and proposed that some night they
should follow the murdered man from his little
store. and AT some convenient spot between the
store aud the house Of the unfortunate man
should knock him down and then make off with
the little satchel in which he carried his money
70 his home every night after closing up. Ac-
eordins to this alleged confession Hardy and
Norris agreed to assist Cant in the execution OF
the crime at the first favorable opportunity.
1t was planned that CANT should at the most
convenient spot reached fall back and watch.
while the other two should creep up behind the
unsuspecting man, and as Hardy struck him
down Norris should snatch up the satchel.

morning. The principals were Daniel W. Shea
Of Boston, Harvard College student and a
member Of the Harvard crew and football
team, and Sydney Smith Of Ballston, the son
Of a wealthy and prominent family.
The men are both fine boxers and the match
was the result of jealousy.
The party left Saratoga in two tally -ho
coaches at 10 o'clock and drove to Ballston.
Billy Edwards was referee and Jimmie Larkin
Of New York seconded Shea. The fight was
hard one and for blood. Smith knocked out
Shea in the second round. Shea was badly pun
ished, and dispute as to time Of second round
nearly precipitated general fight among the
two dozen spectators, friends of the fighters.
Smith weighed 1853 pounds and Shea 17S, The
time of the first round was two minutes, second
round one minute and tifty-four seconds. The
fight was according to the London prize ring
rules.

Canadian Cycle Records Lowered.

The best field of racers that ever lined up be-

the annual race meet Of the Hamilton Bicycle
Club at Hamilton, Ont, yesterday. The weather

Among the contestants we're Zimmerman. the
world beater; HyslOp, Canada's alf-mile
champion; Wells, the one-miie and fve-mile
champion and Carman, the three-mile cham
