TO SERVE IN CONGRESS
THE LIST OF AMBITIOUS INDIANA
REPUBLICANS Is LARGE.
Dates for Conventions which Have
Already Been Fixed-SOme After
State Convention.

Information received by the Republican
state committee indicates that number of
the congressional conventions will not be
held for some time, perhaps not until after
the state convention. Some of the dates
that have heretofore been published were in
correct, and the state committee has en-
deavored to get complete list of congress
sional conventions. Up to last night re-
plies received indicate that the following
have been fixed: Fifth district, Martins
vile. April 6; Sixth district, Brookville,
April 10; Eighth district, Decatur, May 81;
Ninth district, Charlottesville, May "a;
Eleventh district, Logansport, May 80;
Twelfth district, Fort Wayne, May 10. In
the First, Second Third. Seventh and Thir-
tenth districts the conventions have not
been called. Advice has not been received
as yet from the Fourth and Tenth. The
dates given are furnished the state COM
mittee by the district chairmen, and are
authoritative.
One thing indicating that Republicans of
this State are very confident as to the re-
suit of the election next fall is the large
number of candidates who have already
announced themselves. In some of the con-
gressional districts the present incumbents
will have a clear field, but in others many
candidates are either mentioned by their
friends, or have openly announced their
candidacy. Among the candidates that are
spoken of for Congress are Fifth district
Sol Hays. Greencastle, Judge Coffey, Bra
zil. Representative Faris, of Terre Haute
is a candidate for reelection. c. B. Stevens,
of Fort Wayne. and +. d. Merritt, of La
grange, are candidates in the Twelfth; d.
B. Mcconnell, Logansport, S. E. Nicholson,
of Kokomo, Representative George w.
Steele (for re-election), j. f. Statesman, of
Miami county, and c. E. Cowgirl, of Wa
bash, are all mentioned in the Eleventh dis
trict. Representative Lands, Of the Ninth
t ton for r denomination. Albert .. Marsh,
of Burton, George w. Cromer, of
Muncie; Horace Stillwell, Of Anderson, and
/. p Watts of Alexandria, are among the
Eighth district candidates. In the Second,
Judge Cheney, of Sullivan and ex-Repre-
sentative Hardy, of Bloomington, are both
Royce (for re-election), of Warsaw; State
Senator Q. z, Hubbell of Elkhart: G. d:
Rows, of Elkhart; Jerry Hildebrand, of
South Bend, and James s.. Dodge, of Elk
hart make up the roster of Thirteenth dis
trict candidates so far as is known here.
Representative Watson is probably the only
candidate in the Sixth district.
Here in the Seventh district there are
three candidates-Representa Jesse
Overstreet, Joseph b. Healing and George
w Spahr The real contest seems to lie be-
tween Overstreet and Healing A number
Of Republican business men have organized
in Mr. OverStreets interest and urging
tention in Office will subserve the cause of
monetary reform. Mr.. Overstreet intro
duced in the House the bill of the Monetary
Conference.

NOTES OF w. H. ENGLISH
THOSE FOR $5,7OO PRONOUNCED FOR
GERIEs BY HIS SON.
First Cousins of the Dead Millionaire
Claim They Were Executed
Twenty Years Ago.

In the Circuit Court yesterday claims
were filed against the estate of the late
VIM. H. English aggregating $l1, 953.O7. The
claims were filed by Indianapolis attorneys
representing John, Philip and William
Eastin, of Illinois. The claims represent
promissory notes which it is alleged VIM
H. English executed on Dec. T. 1879. The
claimants aver they hold three notes-one
for $3.50, another for the same amount and
one for $1,000, payable one day after date
without interest. 1t is asserted that the
notes are unpaid, and with the interest that
has since accumulated aggregate the sum
of 81, 953.07.
VIM. E. English, executor OF the estate
of VIM. H. English declares his father
never signed the notes. John, Philip and
William Eastin are relatives of the English
family. They are first cousins of the late
VIM. H. English They reside in a small
Illinois town called Athens. Mr. English
says he is positive the notes are not gem
uine, and he says the estate will resist pay
ment.
Il have never seen but one of these men,"
said Mr.. English, ''and this was William
Eastin, who came here to my fathers flu
neral. 1t is unreasonable to suppose that
my father would allow these notes to run
from 1903 IL Iney were genuine. nave seen
one Of the notes, and think it read, pay
able one day after date If the note was
all right, it is singular the holder would al
low it to run until this time without trying
to collect it. The note l saw contained an
imitation of my fathers signature, and
was convinced then it was not his own
MIR. English says that when William
Eastin came here to the funeral he con-
fessed he had not sufficient funds to return
home. Mr.. English gave him money to pay
travelling expenses and paid his living eX
penses while Eastin was here. Some time
afterward Mr.. English received a letter
from William Eastin asking for the loan of
sum of money. The funds were not for
Warded, and in a few days Mr.. English re-
celved letter from an Illinois attorney
stating that William Eastin held claim
English'S father. Mr.. English says he I'M
derstood John and Philip Eastin were
claiming they held the notes of William H.
English for a sum of money their father
had placed in his hands for their benefit.
Some time ago Mr.. English was notified by
the attorneys who filed the claims yeSter-
day that they held one of the notes in ques-
ton. He called at the office of the lawyers
and was shown the note. He made up his
mind then that the signature was not gen.
uine, although it resembled in some ways
his fathers signature. He is convinced the
notes are foregrieS, and the estate will re-
sist payment on this theory. Mr.. English
says he never heard of his father holding
funds for the benefit of the Eastins and he
takes no stock in this story.
