BURGLAR WITH LANTERN,
He Is Operating in the Vicinity
of Taylor and Geary
Streets.
In Two Cases the Light Awakened
the Occupants and He Did Not
Get Any Booty.

Although the police have done good
work recently in arresting burglars there
are others still operating, and one in par
ticular is giving them considerable annoy
ance. He is short swarthy-
man. and by his work he is no novice at
the business.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Abbott, 416
Taylor street, reported at police headouar.
tiers that man answering his DESCRIPTION
entered her residence on Friday night, buk
was scared away before getting any
plumber.
Mrs. Abbott said that she and her
daughter slept together, and some time
during the night she was awakened by
glare Of light upon her eyes. She saw
man with lantern in his hand and she
promptly screamed for help. The burglar
jumped through the open window, which
IS on the second story, and made his es-
cape. She was so agitated that she could
not sleep for the balance of the night
Detectives Egan and Silvev were detailed
on the case, and an examination showed
that the burglar had first tried to force
open the basement door in the rear with

was awakened.
Mrs. Abbott is certain she could identify
the burglar as he had made no effort To
conceal his features and she was able to
have good look at him when she opened

she thinks he must be a Mexican or Snan.

Antiquity of the Pueblos.

The age of the Pueblos is carefully ex-
amined by S. D. Peet in the American
Antiquarian. He says that 1.-THE relative
age OF the Pueblos and cliff jewellers is a
mere matter of conjecture" 1t is bv no
means certain that the Pueblos are of anv
great antiquity, and they may date back
not more than 900 years. Even many of
the building now standing were erected
after the coming of the Spaniards. The
villages, Mr.. Peet thinks, have been re-
moved and new structures erected several
times during the last $50 years.

the courts Of Kentucky enjoined such
consolidation on the ground that tho
new Constitution Of Kentucky prohibited
the consolidation of parallel lines of rail-
roads. The Supreme Court held that
even If the right to purchase other lines
granted in the original charter of the
Louisville & Nashville road included the
right to consolidate. there was no doubt
of the right of the people. through the
Constitution. to prohibit such consoiida-
ton.
These two decisions assert in the
strongest possible manner the principle
that railroad corporations, being created
by the people. are subject to legislative
and constitutional control. and that 1t is
the undoubted right, If not the plain
duty, of legislatures to prevent the
building up of monopoiies by the con-
solidation of parallel lines Of railroads.
Now. If every State Legislature in the
Union will enact a law prohibiting such
consultations there will be an end Of

The statistics which the Indiana
bureau presents regarding the wages of
women employed in. manufactures are
not pleasing. That between IL and
20 per cent. of all the females employed
in manufacturing establishments receive
SO cents or less day cannot be cause
for congratulation. If those receiving
such wages are mere girls. they should
not be made or allowed to work factory
hours. If they have experience and age,
such wages are wholly inadequate to in
sure them a decent livelihood. Doubtless
many of them are daughters who live at
home, and for that reason can get along
with 80 cents or less day. OF the S.1S2
upon which the estimates are based all
but 4S1 are unmarried, which, in connec-
ton with the fact that the average age
Of those employed is 1914 years, would
indicate that the most of them left wage
earning at a comparatively early age to
marry Yet it is probable that all manu-
facturers employing girls and women
have twice or three times as many appli-
cations for employment as they have
places to fill, while there are many more
places for domestics than there are ap-
plicants who have any fitness for house
hold work. So far as the toll is con-
cerned, the duties required of many do
mestics are much less wearing than
those Of the factory. while. all things
considered, the compensation of the do
nestle is much better.

Terre Haute HOnOrs the Late Railroad
President and Lawyer.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE. Ind. April 1.-The Bar
Association held q. meeting this morning to
pay tribute to the memory of Mr.. w. d.
Griswold, who died in ST. Louis Monday
evening. A committee was appointed and
will report tomorrow. Mr.. Griswold, who
was a native of Vermont, came to this city
in 1888. Col. r. w. Thompson. who was
close personal friend of Mr.. Griswold. says
Mr.. Griswo.d told him that he walked from
Lafayette to Terre Haute, and that when
he arrived here his shoes were worn out
and he had but so cents ia money. He was
first a school teacher and studied law.
Later he formed law partnership with
John r. Usher, and the practice Of the firm
and Illinois. 1t was there that Mr.. Usher
met Mr.. Lincoln, VINO afterward appointed
him Secretary Of the Interior. He became
identified with the early railroad business
here, and was president of what is cow the
Evansville Il Terre Haute road. For sew
eral years he was president of the Terre
Haute d Alton, which he reorganized and
brought out Of its difficulties. He was also
at one time vice president of the Ohio &
Mississippi. Through his connection with
the st. Louis roads, he became interested in
various st. Louis enterprises and moved to
that city about twenty-five years ago. He
always feft that Terre Haute was his home
and few years ago came here to superin-
tend the erection of monument in the
cemetery. The remains will arrive here to-
morrow for burial. Mr.. Griswold left an
estate thought to be valued at 100000.

Two DAYS FoR STATE CONVENTION.

The two or three Republicans who
have sent communications TO the Journal
urging that the Republican State con-
vention. should hold sessions during two
days are simply the spokesman of the
large number of Republicans who believe
that the best interests of the State and
the party demand such a change. When
not more than a third Of the delegates
remained to complete the important
business Of the late State convention
after midnight, it was the very general
opinion that two days were needed. Con-
ventions in this State have more nominal
tons to make, as rule, than in most
States The conventions are larger. and
consequently ii takes more time for roll
calls and footings New York and Ohio
continue their important State conven-
tons over two days. for the reason that
it has been found to be impossible to
transact the business properly in one
day. But for the contested seats, a ma
tional convention could more properly
attempt to nominate a ticket in a single
day than could the Republican State
convention crowd into twenty-four hours
nearly a dozen important nominations.
The only thing which could be urged
against adjourning at 10 or IL o'clock in
the evening to the next day, with half
or two-thirds of the nominations made,
is that it would afford opportunity for
combinations. This objection can have
no force when considered. AS rule, the
more time a body of delegates has to
consider nominations the better will be
the candidates. A body Of men who
have been almost continuously In session
ten or eleven hours are certainly In no
condition to make important nomina-
tons. The adjournment of a convention
when twelve hundred men are present
would have a better effect than If made
when only two or three hundred wornout
men are left.
If the convention which meets May
shall be able to finish its work by IL
o'clock in the evening there can be no
call for a session the next day, but II at
that hour several nominations have not
been made, and the most important, the
judicial, have not been reached. the con-
vention should adjourn until the next
day. And it is all the more important
this year that the whole ticket should be
nominated with businesslike delibera-
ton. under the inspiration of full dele
cations, because the nominees will be
elected.
1t is not necessary that the State COM
mittee should take any official action in
the matter Its call is issued in the same
form as that of the national convention.
It's duty is done when. the temporary
organization shall be completed. Indeed,
1t would have no warrant to name a two
days session. The delegates, when they
are chosen and when they leave home,
should be prepared to remain until the
nominations are made by at least
quorum of the delegates. which is re-
quired by Legislative bodies.

Students, Indianapolis: The Red Cross So
ciety was first Incorporated in this country
in 1881. and was reincorporated In 1893. Its
objects are the relief of suffering by war,
pestilence. famine, flood, fires and other ca
lan,ities of sufficient magnitude to be
deemed national In extent. The organization
acts under the Geneva treaty. the provisions
for which were made in international con-
vention at Geneva, In 1864. and since signed
by nearly all civilized nations. There are,
we believe. no branch societies in this coun-
try, the law not being sufficiently stringent
in protecting the name and sign of the or
ganization. The headquarters are in Wash

a breach OF professional faith for which
the individual and not the prevailing
code of ethics was responsible. This was
distinctly denied by witnesses at the
trial of the damage suit brought against
the doctor. number of leading physi-
clans testified that they considered cases
OF the kind under consideration privi-

fed in his action. When asked by the
Judge on the bench the direct question as
to whether they would consider 1t their
duty to inform the civil authorities when
they suspected that an unlawful opera

a patient they declared that the very

affirmative by the Society of Physicians
In official session. Thereat the judge ex-
pressed scorn OF their professional in

ELWOOD, Ind, April 1.-The disappear

for Vincennes In November to organize a
lodge. His movements were followed for
some time down into Tennessee, but now
all trace of him seems to be lost. The For

have been begun in the Superior Court which
disclose domestic secret in the life of l.. c.
Dllman, one Of the most widely known men
in this State Mr.. Dillman asks that the
court annul the alleged marriage relations
existing between himself and the woman
who has for years passed as his wife. He
says that he met Rebecca Staley in Kansas
eight years ago. She was supposed to be
widow, and he married her. They came 10
Spokane, where ne prospered, his fortune at
one time being estimated at $500,0O0 Three
years ago the startling news reached them
that Mrs. Dillman's former husband, Staley,
was not dead; that he had not been drowned,
as believed, but had returned TO his Old home
in Pennsylvania 10 inquire after his estate.
On mis- disappearance some of his clothing
was found on the river bank. and it was
finally accepted as a fact that he was dead.
He was so judicially determined and his
estate administered. Mr.. Dillman says that
when the news reached him and Mrs Dill

as the disclosure would nave complicated bus
mess affairs. They accordingly continued TO
occupy the same house, but in separate
apartments; that those sepaNate relations
have since been maintained. Mrs. Dillman,

old home In Pennsylvania he was living In
