MUNCIE MUCH EXCITED
SUNDAY OBSERVANCE MOVEMENT
NOT ENTIRELY SUCCESSFUL.
Witnesses Taking Notes to Prosecute
Those Who Do Business-Oth-
err State News.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
MUNCIE, Ind, July 1S-Threats made by
the members of the Young Mems Christian
Band and the Good Citizens League last
week that all business houses would have
to keep closed to-day or the proprietors
would be prosecuted had little or no effect,
and If there was any material change in
the regular situation there were more
places doing business than has been the
custom for some time past on the first day
OF the week. The cigar stores. candy stores,
soda founts, ice cream parlors and ice
cream peddling wagons, drug stores and BIZ
cycle dealers had their places in full opera
ton and there was but single meat shop
that did not open doors for business this
morning, while the street cars did d big
business; the band concert and balloon as
cension at Westside Park occurred as ad-
Vertised his evening and there was the GUS
tomary regard paid to the saloon law.
During the day the members of the
Band" and League were busy cell ;ctiI g
data for aftidavits, and the police and JUS
tice courts are expected to be busy places
tomorrow, unless such strong pressure is
brought to bear on the reformers as to per-
suade them to desist from the step. The
churches were crowded at both morning
and evening services to-day, as the min
listers were expected to refer to the move
being made, and in nearly every pulpit some
reference was made. In some of the con-
gregations standing vote was taken to
see how the church stood on the question
of enforcing the blue" law to the letter
AT High-street NJ. E. Church the vote
caused a sensation as there were but d
very few in the audience who gave evidence
Of sanctioning such a radical step, and
when the small number arose the rest of
the audience INDUCED in hand clappng at
the small percentage who voted. This is
Muncie'S leading church. Rev. Nattzger,
the pastor is out OF the city. In the pulpit
of the Central Christian Church Rev Starr
denounced the people who are stating that
the church people are not a unit IN the
move as liars" At High-street Church.
Hon. w. A. Thompson, one of Indiana's
leading attorneys, and a prominent man in
the church, arose and in plain language de-
nounced the manner in which the Band
has mapped out the work Immediately
after the exciting episode at this church
notes were sent to all ministers in the city
asking them TO take a vote in the congre-
cations tonight and to see that the men,
bers of the church voted the right way
After these experiences the liberals are
happy this evening and believe that the
whole idea of prosecution will be aban-
doned, but there is all kinds Of evidence
that they will be disappointed. The mer-
chants are very determined.

$40, 000, 000 Dawson City is only a few
months old. The descriptions given by the
returned miners make it a typical mining
town, with everything but guns. Laborers,
it is asserted, are paid as high as SIS a day,
but the advice is given that no man can
afford to go to the new camp without from
$500 To $1,000 with which TO support himself
and insure the possibility of returning in
case of adversely. Living, of course, comes
high. The region produces little or no fruit

ued all day, and at O'clock at night
a single cannon shot indicated the in
surgents' decision to take the town
which they did, entering it from three
sides at the same time. They sacked
and burned a number Of houses and
secured considerable booty. During the
siege the soldiers in the town kept up
a constant fire on the insurgents. In

In spite of warlike preparations, the
prospect in the Levant has certainly
not become darker during the past
week, and there are indications that
the difficulty may be solved by the
powers inducing the sultan to with
draw the Turkish troops from Crete.
The situation in Canea Is a powerful
argument in favor of the withdrawal of
the Turks. They are being driven in
from the outlying posts, and the news
papers today are asking of what use
are the Turks if the foreign forces are
compelled to do their work, as in the
case of the foreign occupation of Ma

autonomy scheme Many competent
judges, who are on the scene, declare
that the Cretans would submit if given
the details, showing the reality of the
autonomy. This is the view Of the am
bassadors at COnstantinople, who have,
telegraphed to their respective govern
ments, urging that the details be now
determined upon and that a practical
scheme Of government be presented to.
the Cretans, and also declaring that the
prolOnging Of the condition of uncer-
tainty inspires great anxiety and
leaves the door open to events cal
culated to seriously endanger the situ-
alton, such as yesterdays affair at
Malaxa.
1t is stated from Kissamo that the
Cretan leaders there want annexation
to Greece under the impression that
autonomy will not repay them for the
losses of their property while Greece.
would pay them an indemnity in full.
This idea shows that the money ques--
ton is at the root Of the whole COM
plication.
In the meanwhile, advices from the
interior Of Crete indicate that the in
habitants are already feeling the pinch
of famine. A special correspondent
who has just visited the camp of Col.
VassOs, the commander of the Greek
army Of occupation, describes the Jour-
ney. He says that in the mountains,
at a place called Stillofaramgo, he
heard weird voices across a deep, i'm
passable ravine, issuing apparently
from the bowels of the earth, an& adds:
I'VE stopped and through our field
glasses saw emaciated women and chill
dren emerging from a cave high up in
the mountains They were the wives
and children Of Christians, refuging
from the Turks and living upon roots.
when we reached Col. Vassos' carp
at Aligiano, we saw scores Of famish-
ing people, once rich, who came beg
ging for food. Several of them had not
eaten for three or four days, and hum
dreds of others were in the same con-
dition. The distress was heartrending,
and disease has now supervened."
1t has been limited in various quar-
ters that Germany has virtually with
drawn from the concert Of the powers,
asserted that Emperor William aims at
a Turkish-Greek war with the object
of recovering on the conclusion of peace
the 200 900, 900 francs which Greece owes
her German creditors. A semi official
denial of this statement was issued in
Berlin today, emphatically repudiating
any such intention.

1t is officially stated that the ques-
ton of declaring war depends upon
the present negotiations with the pow
ers. No one on the streets of Athens
believes this, all accepting the de-
parture of the crown prince as indi-
eating that Greece has come to a def
mite decision to go to war.
At q late hour tonight advices were
received from Crete to the effect that
a long fight occurred yesterday at Gazo
near Gambia, the result Of which is
unknown. In Gambia the public heralds
are constantly running through the
streets, exhorting the faithful to make
a sortie and fight the Christians. An
official who visited Capt. Koaekas
camp was informed that he had 10000
troops and provisions enough to last
five months. The government has is
sued orders to the chiefs of the from
tier army to restrain the troops and
prevent any aggression.
A dispatch from Canea says that the
insurgents at Akrotiri fired on the

LONDON. March 27.-The conference
which the Marquis of Salisbury had in
Paris yesterday with M. Hanotaux, the
French minister for foreign affairs, is
regarded as most important, not only
with reference to the Eastern situation,
but as bearing upon the general rela-
tionS between Great Britain and
France. 1t was noticed that NJ. HanO-
taux greeted Lord Salisbury cordially
when he arrived and that their parting
was even more cordial, indicating that
the conference was satisfactory to both
parties What actually passed is not
known, but the Figaro believes that
Lord Salisbury suggested that the ISL
and of Crete be occupied by two pow
ers, one of them to be Great Britain
and the other France or Russia. Other
French newspapers and the British
press believe that the conferences are
a sign of improved relations and are
especially significant as following the

Of Wales to President FaUre. The

THEY'RE BAD BREEDS,
But Reds Arrested for Killing the
SpiceP Family May Prove an Alib1.

BISMARCK. N. D., March 27.-Black
Hawk and Alex Cadott, the suspected
murderers of the Spicer family, at Wi
mona, were brought to this city today
to appear before the United States
grand jury as witnesses against the
WinOna salOOnkeeper who sold them
liquor the day preceding the horrible
butchery of Mr.. and Mrs. Spicer Mrs.
Waldron, Mrs. Rouse and her twin
babies.
Immediately upon their arrival they
were met by Sheriff Shier, of Emmons
county, who arrested them on the
charge of murder and they were placed
in the Burleigh county Jail for safe
keeping.
Black Hawk is a negro breed
and is the worse looking man of the
two. He resembles the negro race
much more than the Indian and his ap-
pearance indicates the desperate char
acter of the man. He speaks good Eng
lish. Cadott is a low browed French
halfbreed.
Both were put in the sweat-box by
United States Marshal Cronan and
closely questioned, Harry Mclaughlin,
son of Indian Inspector Mclaughlin,
acting as interpreter. All efforts to
force a confession were futile.
Cadott, after his incarceration in the
guardhouse at Fort Yates, some days
ago, asked an Indian to go to his tepee,
ten miles from the fort, and destroy
some bloody clothing he had hidden.
He admits this, but says he was at
home on the day of the murder. He
displayed considerable cunning in his
answers to questions, and all efforts to
force a confession were futile. Cadott
stated at the conclusion of the exami-
nation that white people are after the
81, 800 reward and don't care whether
they hang an innocent man or not. 1t
seems likely that Black Hawk, pos
sibly both, will be able to prove an
alibi.
Subagent Lyon, of Standing Rock
agency, is much incensed at the action
of the Emmons county authorities in
arresting the prisoners, and says that
they have hindered the work of secur-
| ing evidence from the start in their
frantic efforts to secure the reward /;
that If the Indian police were left alone
| they would soon have conclusive evil
dence against the guilty parties 1t is
| probable that the federal authorities
will refuse to give the prisoners to
Emmons county, and that they will be
| taken back to the reservation.

NEW LONDON, March 27.-The Unit
ed States gunboat Wilmington succeed
ed in making her trial trip today and
speeded over the course in three hours
thirty-five minutes and fifty-four sec
onds, making an average Of fifteen
knots during the run, unofficial time
and subject to correction, but the con-
ditiOn Of tide on both legs of the course
will increase the speed record rather
