GRAND JURY NAY ACT
PROSECUTOR HOFFMAN CUES
TONED ABOUT BRIDGE CONTRACTS.
He Shows No Disposition, However,,
to Investigate the County Com
missioners' DisgracefuI Affairs.

When 1t comes to explaining to the grand
jury the whyfores Of all their actions the
County Commissioners may not find them
so very easy Of explanation. They may be
called upon TO account to this criminal in
vestigating body as to what they have done
with moneys squandered by them. 1t Is
possible that they may be called to an ac-
counting for their stewardship, and when
the balances show UP on the wrong side
they may have to defend their actions be-
fore the bar OF the Criminal Court. This
will never come so long as there is a Dem
ocratic prosecuting attorney and a Demo-
cratic Judge in the Criminal Court, but
when things have changed and a Republic
an prosecuting attorney and Criminal Court
Judge take their Offices the light Of a GRIM
snail investigation may be turned upon the
commissioners records. Then will they ex-
plain honestly, if they can, the misapplica-
ton of the ounty funds John w. Holtz-
man, prosecuting attorney and chairman of
the Democratic county committee, was
asked last night If he would bring these
questions before the grand jury. He an
swered that he did not believe the publica-
lions of the Journal contained the truth.
but IL they were the truth and the COM
missioners had infringed the law he would
bring the question before the grand jury.
How about the bridge contracts? Does
not the law require that the commissioners
award contracts to the lowest responsible
bidder?"
81 believe it does"
Then IL IL were shown that the commits
sioners had not awarded the recent bridge
contracts to the lowest responsible bidders,
but had awarded them to a firm whose bid
was several thousand dollars higher than
the lowest bidder, would not this be an in
dictable offense?'
IF the commissioners corruptly awarded
| a contract TO one not the lowest legitimate
bidder under the specifications submitted
they would be indictable under the laws of
| Indiana"
"What do you mean by c~orruptly award
| ing a contract?"
II mean If it was done for the purpose of
| defrauding the county"
| Under the views of Prosecutor Hoffman,
If the commissioners awarded the contract
| for the First-street bridge TO the Canton
Wrought-iron Bridge Company to defraud
| the county, when the Brown-Ketcham COM
pany (Which is a responsible frm) was a
| lower bidder, they would be indictable for
| such acts.

MORE GOOD SPEECHES
Ex-PRESIDENT HARRISON CONSENTS
TO MAKE ANOTHER TRIP.
He Will Speak at Anderson,
and ShelbyviIle Next Saturday,
An Industrial Parade.

Chairman Gowdy received a telegram last
night from General Harrison agreeing to
make a trip on his way home next Satur-
day through the Sixth and Fourth congress
sional districts. The principal speech of the
day will. however, be made at Anderson,
at which point the schedule provides for a
three hours stop. The county committee of
Madison is preparing for a great demonstra-
ton at Anderson, of which one feature will
be an Industrial parade. This will be the
largest meeting of the campaign in the
State, and there will be no barbecue neces-
sary to draw a crowd.
The shops and mills will be closed and
everybody invited to attend the reception
Of the ex-President. From Anderson, at
$50 p. m. the special train will run to
Rushville. reaching that Republican strong
hold. and the home of James E.. Watson,
at 4:20 o'clock. The stop here will be about
half an hour. From Rushville the sched-
ule provides for a run to Greensburg, and
then to S~heFbyville, at both of which points
speeches will be made. This trip will have
given General Harrison a record of two or
more speeches in each congressional dis
trict.
Saturday will be the closing day Of the
campaign in this county. the last speech
being at Tomlinson Hall by Charles L.
Henry. Mr.. Henry will come to the city
from Anderson with General Harrison The
arations have been made for 1t. 1t had
been intended that Anderson should send a
delegation to this city for the night meet.
Anderson would about tire clubs out, and so

a case where he does not nave to reduce

case where he has reduced wages, and the
laborer suffers in consequence. Then. how
can the laborer help himself? Surely, max

NO DECISION In HIGNIGHT's CASE.
Judge Harper Will Hold 1t Back Till
After Election.

A considerable time has elapsed since
Judge Harper, who is a candidate for re-
election on the Democratic ticket, took
under AMUSEMENT the Hignight injunction
suit, which sought to prevent Mayor Den
ny from revoh1ng the license of James
Hignight, who had persistently violated the
liquor law. Hignight is one OF the promi-
nent Democratic politicians Of the East
End and held a political job under Mayor
Sullivan's administration. 1t Is said Judge
Harper will not render a decision in the
case until after election. If the decision
should be rendered before election day and
should be against Hignight II Is quite
probable that that politician would whet
a knife for Judge Harper. The Court has
had sufficient time to prepare a half dozen
decisions such as the one he is called upon
to render in this case.
Hignig t, it will be remembered, was
guilty on the most fragrant sort of VIOLA
tons OF the liquor laws. On July 4 hast,
the railroad strike was on. and lest there
be any clash or collision on that day, the
Mayor gave orders to have the saloons
watched closely. Most Of the saloon keep
ers. even those who had before attempted
to sell hquo- at prohibited hours, closed on
that day. Hignight, however, kept his
place open. After his bartender was ar
rested and taken TO the police station
Hignight ~telepholed to police headquarters
that he was too busy to bail out the bar
to nder. The police immediately returned
to Hignfght's place and found it again in
FULL blast.

The prospect Of obtaining the headquar-

that stood In the way was the rent that is

Where the Car IL Diving.

No place in the world, probably, has been
on the tongues of so many people recently
as Livadia, where the Emperor Of Russia
lies dying. 1t stands on the eastern under
cliff of the Crimea, one of the most de-
lightftA spots in Russia. The country about
is a favori.e resort of thu Russian aris-
tocracy, and has been for years. 1t has
often been called the Russian Riviera or
the Russian Italy, as the climatic condi-
lions are similar. Near by is Yalta, the
Muscovite rival of Cannes, the chief place
in a a in Crimea, which the Russian
poets have always called the Jewel OF
Russia" Its beauties inspired Pushkin to
some of his best verse. Parts Of the coun-
try resemble, too, the land OF the Hellenes.
1t has the same cliff bound coast, and
the ~cloister of st. George stands on the
summit of a high mountain, like the clois-
ter of Athos. 1t was Car Nicholas who
first appreciated the beauties of the Crimea
and decided to develop it. But Alexander
brought it to it's present perfection. espe-
cially by the care bestowed upon Livadia,
where they lived for a time each year.
Yalta. now so we'll known, was composed
only OF a few huts when the Car pur-
chased the castle of Livaiia and remodeled
it to suit his taste. Between Yalta and
tates, reached by beautiful tree-lined drives.
Among them is Orlando, the property OF the
Grand Duchess Constantine, whose house
is in the midst of a grove of oaks. Then
there is Aloupka, the most beautiful place
in all the district, which was once built
by Prince Wornozoff and contains no fewer
than two hundred rooms.
The domain of Livadia lies west Of Yalta,
within a short drive. the road leading 20
Petri on the right and the sea on the left.
Vineyards. olive groves, plantations of fig
trees and pomegranates of brilliant flower
gardens fringe the way. There are two pal
aces on the estate, or rather, two villas,
for they can hardly be dignifed with the
more hig~h-sounding name. One OF them
was built by the Cars family, and is kept
to-day Just as IL was built by the Cars
father. The present Emperor built a low.

off are orchards and vineyards which yield

The Democrats Of the Fourth district
have become so scared in the Holman-Wat-
son confess that they are thinking of re-
sorting to a contemplate sort of campaign
ing to stem the tide. They have secured
a lot of afidavits in support Of an improba-

campaign and the tendency of campaign
yarns, even supported by affidavits, TO be
discredited and react, the Democratic man
ayers are still in a quandary whether to
spring the charges or not. They are not
the minds of fair people, and their pro-
moters depend upon them for their power
to excite prejudice and bigotry. The fight
against Holman is waxing so hot and has
become so promising Of success that the

Yaw will be heard here IN concert at the

in that its compass, of even purity and

itself marks the voice as being wonderful,
for It exceeds the compass of hat of any
singer, living or dead, of which record

Mozart, to c In altissimo, while Miss Yaw
