TERRE HAUTE BAR SCANDAL.
Special Committee of Lawyers Will
Report To-Day ON It's Investiga ton.

Report To-day On It's lnvesugatlOn.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Feb. 2S.-The
special committee Of lawyers, composed of
Messrs S. Il. Davis, "A. NJ Higgins, j. ID.
Early, V. j. Barlow and p. Nj. Foley. ap-
pointed by Judge Taylor, of the Circuit
Court several months ago, will make its
report tomorrow the charges of un-
professional conduct on the part of some
members of the bar. 1t is expected the re-
port will cause a sensation. The members
of the committee refuse to disclose the de-
tails or even the names of those whose
disbarment will follow should Judge Taylor
order a public hearing in their cases. 1t is
said the report is anything but whitewasn-
ing document, but 1t is also said that the
committee is not unanimous the findings.
AT the time the committee was appointed
there was some talk of UNDUE influences
on the part of a few lawyers in soliciting
clients among Jail prisoners, and 1t was
to investigate these stories that the COM
mittee was originally appointed, but inn
unprDfessional conduct and the committee
took them up The investigation has been
conducted in secret. the committee belev-
ing that 1t would be unfair to smirch the
regulations of men by making public all
the charges that might be preferred. 1t Is
said that there has been an effort on the
part or persons, even among tine lawyers,
to get even and that it was because il
was sought to use the committee and OPP
portunity for that purpose that there has
been delay in making the report. 1t is
also said that the committee has been
unable to reach all who were guilty of dis
honorable conduct because they en-
trenched behind social, political and bust
ness influences which prevented the COM
mittee getting ait all the facts in cases
where there was good reason TO believe
there had been conduct which would war
rant disbarment proceedings. These Of
tenders naturally are prominent in the pro-
fession and II is possible that the report
will end in a general overhaulng of the
manner Of the practice of law at this bar.

its swinging sign cock and bottle,
meaning thereby that draft and bottled
ale could be had within-the "cock, in

therefore, who got the last and muddy
portion Of the tap was said to have re-

Upon one occasion, when Colonel Cdr

having this muddy beverage put before
him, he threw it angrily upon the floor
and exclaimed, Hereafter will drink
