NO DAYS OF GRACE.
Judiciary Committee Give a Hearing
on Their Adjustment Today.

At 10 o'clock there was hearing before
the judiciary committee of the Senate on
that bill relating to "Bills OF Exchange
and Promissory Notes" The bill is for
the abolition of days of grace, whether ex-
isting by statute or the custom OF mer-
chants. A number of bankers, mer-
chants and attorneys addressed the COM
mittee and all agreed that the bill
should pass because there is absolutely no
benefit to be derived by anyone
by having three days additional after the
date OF payment named in the
paper. A note can be made for
80 days and interest paid accordingly just
as well as for 80 days, with the three days
extension.
Mr.. John +. Lennen was in favor OF the
bill, but made an exception in the case OF
sight drafts, saying that on them grace
was of great convenience TO merchants.
The bill, II passed, would clear mp the
uncertainty concerning holidays as
IL provides that all notes,
drafts, checks, acceptances, bills Of ex-
change, bonds or other evidences Of in
debtedness, falling due on Sunday, or a
legal holiday, shall for every purpose be
considered due on the next following
business day.

LEVIED BLACkMAIL.
That Is Why Certain High Police
Officials in Frisco Were Fired.

SAN Francisco, April PA sensation
has been brewing in police circles here for
several weeks, IL having been known
that the board of police commissioners
had under quiet investigation
large number OF policemen
suspected OF corrupt methods. An
intimation of what might be looked for
was given a week ago when Captain
William L.. Hall, who acted as Chief
Crowley's confidential clerk, and five
patrolmen were suddenly dismissed from
the department. The climax came last
night when the police commissioner dis
missed without trial three sergeants. two
veteran detectives and nine patrolmen. 1t
is stated that still others are to follow.
IL is alleged that the discharged police
men have long been operating under Cap
tain Hall and ofher officers high in the
department in levying systematic
blackmail upon gamblers and others
who have been allowed to violate the law.
The men dismissed last night are nearly
all from the Chinatown district where
lottery and fan tan gambling has long
fiourished under corrupt police protec-
ton.

HARRISON WILL TALK.
Indiana Republican State Convention
Meets at Indianapolis Tomorrow.
Rn the Associnied Press.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 2i.-Numer-
ically the Republican State Convention to
be held tomorrow in this city VIII be by
far the largest ever held in the State.
Seventeen hundred and fifteen delegates
will vote for the candidates, the largest
convention having comprised 200 dele
gates. The nine offices for which candi-
dates will be chosen are confronted with
43 candidates. This, too, excels In num-
Der all previous records.
The office of clerk OF the Supreme Court
heads the list with nine candidates. In
dianapolis has three candidates for At
torney General with apparently equal
strength. They are William A. Ketcham,
ex-Lieutenant Governor Thomas Hanna,
and William l.. Taylor.
The contest for Secretary OF State is at
tracing the widest interest as that Office
is regarded as containing greater possibili-
ties than any other and by precedent is
the resting place before Gubernatorial
honors. A conspicuous candidate for the
office is Aaron Jones, OF South Bend,
who headed the ticket two years ago.
The present program calls for but
cx-President Harrison. Ex-Secrc-
tary of the Navy Richard w. Thompson,
of ierre Haute, will likely be chosen as
president of the convention.
General Harrison is expected to make
some remarks concerning national affairs
and his close friends say that he Will talk
unreservedly and plainly.
The platform is causing much specula-
ton. The committee will be engaged in
its preparation all of tonight. II will un-
doubtedly arraign both the State
and National administration and
condemn in strong terms the
Democratic reapportionment OF
1893. The A. p. A. will be considered by
the committee by request of certain
prominent Catholic Republicans, but
whether it will be mentioned in the plat
form is uncertain.
This Congressional district (the seventy
will choose Republican candidate to
oppose Congressman Bynum today.
The candidate will be Hon. Charles
l.. Henry of Madison county, who was
the candidate two years ago. Hon. Chas.
w. Fairbanks will preside and the NOM
ination will likely be made unanimous.
