the picture produced 1t would not be diff
cult to locate the hidden gold. Then, when
1t is supposed that stolen property is within
a building and entrance cannot be gained,
the wooden doors would not be a bar to Sc
curing a photograph CT the interior. The
man of many woes could not say to his
impecuniouS friend that he had no money
when asked to lend a dollar, for fear the
friend would produce a snapshot Of his
pocket showing wealth of coins. The
farmer could not place large stones in the
middle of a load of hay TO increase the
weight, for the weigh-master would be pro-
vided with a kodak that would reveal his
dupiicity. The process would readily reveal
the truth when brought to bear on the
Observation-Disclosures diamonds of some
great actress by showing absolutely moth
ing If they. were paste. The amount of
be determined and the controversy as to
who has the most could then easily be set
tied.
But there is another side to the matter
that might not be SO pleasant. The young
lady who imagined herself secure in her
own sitting room when she sent down
word to an unwelcome caller that she was
not in would be in danger of exposure
through the strange power of this light.
Homes would no longer be impervious to
the prying eyes of gossiping neighbors and
the skeletons in the closets would be ex-
posed unless incased in a metallic covering.
Ladies could not wear thir jewels in bags
around their necks to hide them from the
inquiSitive eye of the pickpocket, and bel
ligerently-inclined men could not carry re-
volvers unless they protected them with
copper-lined coats. The little piece of metal
that causes ''Seven-eleven" to come at the
will Of the crap-shooter would be exposed
in fact, the possibilities of this new process
are SO many that it would take many vol
umes to tell them ALL There would simply
be a revolution in all existing social and
commercial relations, and men and women
would be compelled to deal with each other
honestly at all times or take the chances
of their duplicity being exposed at any
moment.

DEATH OF GIG. WRIGHT
DISTINGUISHED IOWA JURIST, WHO
WAS REARED IN INDIANA.
An Uncle Of John G. Wright, of This
City-FOrmerly n United
States Senator.

J. c. Wright, of this 1city, received tele-
gram yesterday from Des Moines. Ia, an
nouncing the death of his uncle, George
Grover Wright, distinguished jurist, who
was born, educated and reared in Indiana.
Judge Wright was born at Bloomington,
this State, in 1920, and graduated from the
State University at that place in 1889. He
studied law with the. firm of Howard &
Wright, at Rockville and went overland to
Iowa in 1910. He settled at Keosequa, Van
Moines. He was a member of the Iowa
Senate for several terms, and In 1854 he was
chosen Chief Justice Of the Supreme Court
Of that State, serving until 1870 From
March 4. 1871, to March 3. 1877, Judge Wright
was United States Senator, serving on the
committees on finance, the judiciary claims
and civil service. After his service in the
Senate he resumed his law practice, at the
same time delivering lectures before the
law school of the Iowa State University.
In politics Judge Wright was always a
Republican. He took an active part In the
success of the party, and during two or
three campaigns he made speeches. IN In
diana. AS a man he was respected and
honored, while a jurist he held high
rank. Judge Wright was a brother or
Joseph Albert Wright, at one time Governor
of Indiana. His death was due TO paralysis.
from which he never fully recovered. Fri
day he suffered second stroke, from which
it was hoped he might revive, but yester-
day the news of his death was received.

OUTSIDE EXCHANGES COMPLAIN.
They Want to "Hitch On" to the In.
dianapOlis System.

The telephone companies Of the towns
through the State are taking an active in
terest in the letting of a telephone fran
chise by the Indianapolis Board OF Public
Works. The outside companies want some
agreement whereby the successful company
here will be compelled to grant the COM
panies OF the smaller towns the privilege of
transfer and exchange. The Central Union
Company at present refuses to recognize
the smaller companies. This point was
raised at the recent conference between the
board and representatives of the Central
Union Company, when it was said by the
latter that the system of the smaller con-
Germs would not hitch with the system OF
the Central Union.
Yesterday the board received two letters
which branded this claim as 'bosh." One
of the letters was from Nashville and the
other from Noblesville. Both OF these COM
panies claim to have appliances which are
equal to those Of the Central Union Com
pany The Rushville company proposes TO
make test, the Board of Works TO obtain
the permission. 1t is proposed to talk from
Rushviue to New York through Indianapo-
lis, providing arrangements can be made.
The Rushville Company positively declares
that the instruments used by IL will be
found all right, and hence the objection OF
the Central Union company will be shown
false.

ANDERSON, Ind. jan u.-Never in the
history of Madison county have the Repub-
licans been in more enthusiastic frame of
mind or as well equipped for a campaign
as was evidenced to-day, when they met
for the purpose of reorganizing the county
central committee. Delegations we're pres
ent from every township, Elwood, Alex
andria and Pendleton sending the largest.
They poured into the courthouse. literally
taxing possession, as it was the first gath
ering since the victory year ago. Chair
man j. +. Mcclure called the convention to
oruer and started the business of the ses-
SION Dy introducing A d. Hurst, of Frank
.oh' VINO was made permanent chairman.
a. "A. small was made secretary and read
letter from Congressman c. L. Henry TO
the Republicans of Madison county. The
readlng was frequently interrupted by ap~
plause, especially the reference to the pro-
lective policy of Republicans and the splen-
lld administration Of Benjamin Harrison.
Inc convention went wild with enthusiasm
over Major Doxey, whose name was pre-
scented as Madison county's candidate for
governor. The committee on resolutions
made a happy hit with it's report, which
was read by attorney Edgar Z. Hendee, as
chairman. They were written in a popular
vein and had thrilling effect on the meet
ing.
Inc work OF selecting the delegates to the
district convention and members of the
county committee was quickly disposed Of
IL IS the opinion tonight that the committee
IS the strongest and most representative
ever named here. The selection of the per-
manent officers of the committee will be

story of the Assault.

An Associated Press dispatch from Park
ersburg last night gives the following ac-
count of the assault, the perpetrator of
which the bloodhounds will try to find:
Last night Lulu Wetherell, twelve years
old, the daughter of Thomas j. Wetherell,
cashier of the Parkersburg National Bank,
was in the library playing on the piano.
Lulu Strong a companion of the same age,
was with her. Upstairs were Lulu's brother
Joe and her aged grandmother. Mr.. and
Mrs. Wetherell were absent for the even
ing. About o'clock a young man came
into the room with red shawl over his
head and face.
1.-The children paid no attention, because
they thought it was Joe Wetherell come to
scare them. He put out the light and threw
the shawl over Lulu, threatening to kill
her if she made a noise. Both girls
screamed. The villain dealt Lulu Wetherell
a strong blow over the head, then dragged
her out into a dark alley, nearly two blocks
from the house. She still struggled. The
scoundrel struck her twice and escaped,
leaving her unconscious in the alley, where
she was found. There is evidence of
other outrage than the beating. The child IS
life is despared of. There is no clew to the
perpetrator. He is supposed to be young
negro. Bloodhounds are coming from In
dianapolis. Many arrests followed. but as
many releases have been made. The city is
terrorized. Assaults on women have been
frequent. and men are staying home guard
ing their families
