SPENCER TO BE REMOVED
PENSION AGENT FOR INDIANA COM
PEELED TO GIVE UP HIS JOB.
VIII Be Succeeded by Ex-Representa-
tive Leighty-Queer BIunder Re
ported to the District Attorney.

Private advices received from Washing
ton yesterday indicate that Martin Van Bu-
rem Spencer will be superseded as the pen
sion agent for Indiana on Aug. Is, eX-Rep-
resentative J. d. Leighty, of st. Joe, De
Kalb county, succeeding him. The public is
familiar with the story of the efforts to
GUST Mr.. Spencer. When he came into Of
flee he set about readjusting the affairs of
the agency to suit himself and his party
apparently unmindful of the fact that there
are certain laws governing such things He
first violated the law by discharging GER
tain clerks who were eX-soldiers and pro-
tected in their position by the law so long
as they did their work well. They were dis
missed and no other reason given than
that the agent had to make room for Dem
ocrats. Then when campaign time came
around he did not hesitate to use the large
clerical force at his command to do the
work of the Democratic committee and in
various other ways he used his official po-
stion to further the interests of his party.
Last spring charges covering these points
were forwarded to the Interior Department
at Washington, supported by affidavits and
ample proofs. Mr.. Spencer went to Wash
ington to controvert these charges and the
evidence on both sides was long and care
fully considered by the department About
two weeks ago Secretary Bliss wrote to Mr..
Spencer that his resignation would be
ceptable and Mr.. Spencer replied that he
would not resign or get out until he was
removed or his term expired. This was not
a difficult matter and the word received
yesterday is to the effect that the appoint
ment of Mr.. Leighty, which was deter
mined upon some months ago, will be an
nounced in few days, to take effect

FOR HAUGHEY'S PARDON
ATTORNEYS WHO PROSECUTED HIM
RECOMMEND HIS RELEASE.
Burke and Kern Have Written to
President Observation-Disclosures Men
Signed the Petition.

The report from Washington that it was
as good as settled that President McKin-
ley would pardon Theodore p Haughey
seems to have grounds for confirmation at
this end OF the line. 1t has just been
learned that petition for his pardon has
been signed by hundreds of prominent peo-
pie of this city and forwarded to the Presi-
dent. 1t presented to Frank b.
Burke, who was United States district at
.torney at the time Haughey was convicted
and TO John w. Kern, who was the attor-
ney for the receiver of the indianapolis Ma
ticnal Bank and who assisted in the prose
cution Mr. Kern was asked a few days
ago if he signed petition. He said that
he had not.
Last night Mr.. Burke returned home and
was asked If he had signed it. He said
he had not but that he had written a let
ter 10 the President recommending that Mr.
Haughey be pardoEed. The recommended
ton was made on the ground of the prison.
er's age and the fact that the ends of JUS
tice would be subserved by giving him his
freedom after his having served nearly
three years of the sentence. Mr.. Burke
said that Mr.. Kern had also written a let
ter recommending the pardon.

FAIRBANKS HOME AGAIN
HE is SATISFIED WITH THE WORK
OF THE EXTRA SESSION.
The Senator Speaks of Healthy In
crease in Business Since the
Tariff Bill Passed.

Senator c. w. Fairbanks arrived home
from Washington at 1915 o'clock last
night, somewhat fatigued with the long
journey, but highly pleased that the labors
of the extra session were over and the
work SO we'll done. He was met at the
station by Mrs Fairbanks and at once
drove to his home on Park avenue.
Senator Fairbanks said he had nothing
to add to his comments upon the work of
the session published in the Journal last
Monday. Except this" he added Even
in the few days that have elapsed since
the enactment of the tariff bill, we have
been able to see evidences of the revival
of business that was sure to follow as soon
the business men of the country became
certain that this great business question
had been settled beyond cavil and they
could rest assured of the policy of the
government for at least four years. We
see it in the cheerful tone of men control
ing large interests east and west; we see it
in the healthy increase of the volume of
business reported by the commercial agen-
cies and in the disposition to invest in
legitimate enterprises. Confidence in the
future is more than half the battle in the
fight for prosperity, and that L think, is
fully wOn.

TOPICS AT BETHANY.
Subjects of Interest to EndeavOrers
Were Discussed.

Yesterday was missionary rally day at
the opening of the Christian Endeavor con-
vention at Bethany Park, which will con-
tinue until and including Friday of this
week. Part of each day will be devoted to
training school work conducted by Miss
Kate Z. Whistler of Evansville, state su-
perintendent of junior work. Another feat
ure of the convention will be practical Bible
work by Rev. Henry r. Pritchard, of In
dianapolis.
The first address of the morning, one of
direct interest to the convention, was given
by w. i. McCauley, Of Ohio. who is ex-
president of the Ohio Christian Endeavor
Union. He spoke on practical Endeavor
work.
In place Of the usual assembly lecture
Mrs. Jessie Brown Pounds, of Indianapolis,
addressed the convention on Practical Les
sons to be Learned from Christian En-
deavor Work. She spoke from the follow
ing topics: THE value of small beginnings
which Christian Endeavor has taught -
1.-The attraction religion has for the
young" The value of young peoples work
in the church. 1.-The pledge ideal of
Christian life" THE power of personal
work. and THE need of a high standard
of conservation" She closed with this
thought: THE Christian Endeavor is a
prophecy of the army, fair as the sun, clear
the moon, which is marching for the
conquest of the world for Christ"
AS Miss Whistler had not returned from
California, where she is attending the ma
tional convention, her trains school work
was conducted by her mother in the after
noon. Miss Whistler will return to-day.
At $3.50 o'clock Mrs. Pounds gave the chief
address of the day in the Christian En-
deavor building. She discussed Young
People and Missions" a subject in direct
harmony with the spirit of the convention.
Briefly she said:
THE missionary training of young people
has a three-fold purpose-informaticn, edu-
cation and conservation. Missionary in
formation is the basis of missionary in
terest. To be- active in missionary work.
TO direct our labors TO the best advantages

PENSION AGENTS BLUNDER.
MIR. Spencer's Attempt to Straighten
Out an error without Publicity.

A peculiar story of a pension office com
plcation was laid before the officials at
Grand Army headquarters yesterday. There
were two pensioners of the same name,
one residing at Goshen and drawing S12 a
month, the other residing at
Acton and drawing Sc month.
The Goshen man died over two
years ago and his death was reported to
the agency in this city and an application
put in for a widows pension AT the next
payment the Acton man found his voucher
amounted to $36 instead of SIS and was hap
by in the belief that his application for
an increase had been granted. The renum-
bering of the voucher he supposed to be
incidental to the increase. He continued to
draw at the rate of $12 month until few
days ago he was notified by Pension Agent
Spencer that he had been drawing another
mans pension all this time and that he
must disgorge at once. The pension office
had discovered it's mistake and wanted to
thus straighten it out without publicity.
Upon the advice of Adjutant Smock the
pensioner decided to lay the matter before
the district attorney and ask his advice
about it,
