on the appeal OF John Y. McKans from

for procuring violation of the election

One point upon which the application

McKans was not in that category, it
was not applicable in his case. 1t is
also alleged that the court erred in

RICHMOND, Ind, Sept I2.-When the

it created considerable surprise. People
had heard of his being baptized, but they
were not aware that he had been asked 10

had done SO.
Members of the Friends denomination are
quoted as saying that his action will not
produce a ripple in the church. but DIR.
Clark himself believes that IL will. The ex-
act reasons for his action will he found in
the following interview. which he gave this
morning:
Il submitted to the right of baptism,

ance OF Scripture is in favor OF it. AMI,

lieve that George Fox would have dis

Big Natural Gas Explosion in
AIexandria-State News.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
KOKOMQ Lind, Sept. l2--Sheriff Edgar
A. Simmons to-day forwarded his resigna-
ton to Governor Matthews, asking i'm
mediate acceptance. Unier the recently
enacted fee and salary law the sherin's
salary is $1,000. without fees. Out of this
he must pay two deputies LOO, with trav-
cling and other expenses, amounting TO
$500 more. Judge Kirkpatrick ruled that
sheriffs must keep prisoners without fees,
and are allowed but 1919 cents per meal
for boarding them. The job is. therefore,
not seif-sustaining, and the sheriff prac-
ucally works for nothing after paying
his help n necessary expenses. The
sheriff figured from the docket for the
next term of court, with its enormous
amount OF foreclosures, sheriff sales and
other litigation, that he would fall from
$3.50 TO $500 behind. Under the law the
County Commissioners can allow no claims
for extra work, and all this the sheriff
must hire done out of his own pocket. The
work Is very heavy. keeping two riding
deputies busy nearly all the time. Mr..
says he is compelled to engage in other
business TO obtain a livelihood. Coroner Tur-
pin, on whom devolves the sheriffs office
pending the appointment of a successor,
declares he will resign his Office rather
than have the shrievalty forced on HON.
1t is doubtful if the commissioners find a
man to take the Office. Mr.. MINOR is a
popular officer. and his resignation Is
greatly regretted.
