of Mr.. Boutelle. of Name, which provides
for two sea- going coast line bsttle-ships of

600 each. ten torpedo boats at $40, 600 each.
and authorizing the Secretary Of the Navy
to readvertise for proposals for one swift
torpedo cruiser of 750 tons, heretofore au-
thorized. and limiting the. cost of said
cruiser to $4,000, exclusive OF arma-
ment. Mr.. Boutelle said that the
question of an efficient navy was a matter
of national interest, and should be one OF
national pride. The United States was now
engaged in se-establishing the DOS, position tic m.ot OF
of the earth. The Republican party was
the friend of the navy. The Navy Depart
ment was asked what it wanted In the way
of new ships and that party assumed full
responsi bility and provided the full amou mt
asked for by the department to carry on
the work believed to be essential. The
work of rebuilding q navy was desirable

We wanted q navy that could make war.
We needed q sufficient number of vessels
that would be powerful enough to repel

afford to exercise ut least q reasonable lib
erality in carrying this important work.

EDITOR FISHBACK JAILED.
A Terre Haute Judges Terrible Vengeance for
aFancied Contempt Of Court.


fIecisl TO the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. April 14.-W. o. Fish,
back, editor of the Express was sent to
Jail to-day for thirty days and fined 500
by Judge Taylor. of the Circuit Court, on q
charge of contempt of court The affidavit
against him. which the court caused to be
filed. included part of an article In the
Chicago Tribune. sent from here. and edi-
torials In the Express, Mr.. Fishback being
the resident correspondent of the Tribune.
These were in regard to the stoppage by
the grand jury of an investigation into the
scandals regarding the contracts for city
sewers and pavements. the Judge believing
that reflection had been made on the
court by the statement and intimation that
the judge had given private instructions to
stop the investigation. The contempt case
has been in hearing for ten days. and during
the course of il the Judge has said from
the bench that he did SO advise and
counsel the foreman of the grand Jury.
In his finding to-day the judge acquitted
the defendant on the charge so far as the
Tribune article was concerned. An appeal
to the State Supreme Court will be immedi-
ately taken. Public sentiment is almost
entirely against the action of the court, aud
lawyers are of but one opinion as to the
decision of the Supreme Court.
Another case against Mr.. George NJ Allen,
proprietor of the Express. for the same
articles. was called and on answ or made. the
Judge reservlng his decision until to-mor-
row morning. Every one looks forward to
the Supreme Courts decision as one of i'm
p0rtance, affecting the liberty of the press.
When asked why sentence should not be
pronounced, Mr.. Fishback said he had
written the articles in good faith, believing
them to be true and for the best interests
of the people, and still believed so.

hours of the time of the House were con-
sumed to-day in determining whether
Messrs. Stone of Kentucky, Fithian of

could. by a preconcerted arrangement, and
under leave TO print, publish in the Rec
ord. at the public expense, and distribute

Georges book on Protection and Free

ern members in printing their speeches
there is nothing TO prevent a Representa-
tive from using his privilege to publish
that which is not spoken on the floor. the
fact that a copyrighted book may in this
manner be interpoiated in the Con-
gressional Record is worthy of seri-
Gus attention. Although Mr.. Bur-
rowe's attempt to have the Henry
George matter expunged proved unsuccess-
ful. 1t will probably be fruitful Of good re-

WASHINGTON. Ind. April 14.-More
damaging evidence in the trial of ex-Audi-

The fraudulent Ellis warrant was taken up
again and it was proven by ex-Commis-

as j. V. Ellis bad been employed by them
to build the bridges that Lavelle collected
5000 for. This was also proven by other
commi ssioners past and present. Ex-
Deputy Treasurer Sanford testified that be

Taylor and Meredith. were examined
further and gave detailed report of their
Investigations This evidence, in view of
the fact that Lavelle had his case continued
from last November to the present term on
the grounds that the experts had not fin
ished their investigation, and that when
they did they would report no frauds, is
quite damaging. The State is Thought to

tanning alleged entries of sums paid South
ern mail contractors. He was not quite
satisfied that such purchase at the price
asked, $4,000 was advisable. or that the
purchase should be authorized by the

another department. of the govern
mont There seemed to be no positive
proof that the sums set down In the books
were actually disbursed by the confeder-
ate Postoffice Department, or that they
were paid to the persons against whose
names they appear. There was nothing in
the entries to identify the routes to which
the alleged payments relate, or the peri od
of service which they covered, and it was
not demonstrated that the courts would
admit the books in evidence. or that they
would operate as q complete defense in a

Q contract for carrying the mails.
