WANT THE REVENUE OFFICE.
Indianapolis VIII Seek to Have 1t
Brought Here.

There is a concerted movement on foot
among the large business and manufacture
ing firms of this city to have the internal
revenue office moved from Lawrenceburg
to this city in the near future. To this end
the Board of Trade and the Commercial
Club at their next meetings, will be asked
to use their influence with Senator Fair
banks to secure this benefit to the city
The reason assigned for it is that questions
are continually arising here which require
the opinion of the revenue collector at
once, and under the existing conditions the
matter must be referred to Collector Now
lin, at Lawrenceburg, for decision. In
many cases the questions to be decided are
of considerable Importance and the firms
requiring the opinion can i'll afford to wait
for week or more for an adjudication of
the problem before they themselves take
action. AS a consequence every day there
are affairs transacted, which, If known,
might bring merchants and manufacturers
into conflict with the government, because
it is impossible to secure an opinion as to
their legitimacy in this city. The reason
given by the government for the retention
of the revenue office at Lawrenceburg is
that ii is situated in the big distilling dis
trict and although the industry has gradu-
ally grown away from the location to a
considerable extent, the change to some
other town would require action by the
government, and no step has heretofore
been taken to secure 1t.

SOLDIERS HOME VOTES
SETBACK FOR DEMOCRATIC CON-
sPIRATORs IN GRANT COUNTY.
Judge Custer Overrules a Demurrer
and the Case Must Go to the SUI
preme Court-PoIiticaI News.
Special to the indianapolis journal.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
MARION, Ind, Sept. 2S.-Judge Custer
gave a decision in the Circuit Court to-day
which, so far as it goes, is favorable to the
defendants in the attempt to disfranchise
the members of the Soldiers Home. The
PLAINTIFFS had alleged that the soldiers in
the home were not citizens of the State for
the reason that the government had ex-
elusive Jurisdiction over the grounds on
which the home is located Though the
attorneys for the defense were confident of
their ability to meet this successfully in
court, yet law was passed in the recent
Congress ceding the land hack to the state.
This was included in the answer made by
the defense To this the plaintiffs demurred
on the assumption that the law was null
and void and contrary to the Constitution
of the United States, which declared that
Congress should have exclusive jurisdiction
over all territory ceded by the States to
the federal government, and it was argued
that Congress could not recede it to the
state. This was the demurrer which Judge
Custer overruled to-day. AS TO the right of
the member to vote he said he felt that he
was not called upon to decide
The attorney for the plaintiffs, John A.
Kersey, who is the Democratic candidate
for Circuit judge, says that the case will
be appealed to the Supreme Court, and he
hopes to have it advanced on the calendar
in order to secure decision before the fall
election. 1t is generally understood here
that the scheme was first conceived by Ker-
sey, who imagined there would be chance
for his election if the Soldiers Home votes
were thrown out; that he had impressed
the practicability of the project upon the
Democratic state committee, and that the
committee is furnishing the funds with
which to carry forward the case.
The effect of a final decision in favor of
the plaintiffs would be to require the Coun-
ty Commissioners to redistrict the county
and omit the home precincts. This would
mean reduction of the Republican major
ity in the county by $500 to 2,OOO

FAGERSTOWN, Ind, Sept. 2S.-James e.
Watson, Republican candidate for Congress
in this district, spoke to large audience
in the Odd Fellows Hall last night This
was the opening of the campaign in the
west end of the county, and there was a
large attendance at the meeting. Mr. Wat
SON spoke for two hours and was listened
to with the deepest attention. Mr. Watson
said that he believed it to be unpatriotic to
make the present war political issue. but
platforms adopted by Democratic conven-
tions, yellow newspapers and yellow ora
tors had charged the President with crimi-
nal negligence and the charge should be
refuted. He said that no other living man
could have managed this war ably as
Mckinley has managed it. He cited the
fact that the number of people who died in
Washington city during the time of this
war was greater than the number of sol
diers who died from all causes. He pro-
nounced Theodore Roosevelt the most re-
markable and unique character in Ameri-
can history and was vigorously applauded
when he spoke of his nomination for Gov
ernor of New York. He declared that his
opponent for Congress in this election DIR.
Charles Robinson, while possessing an ir-
reproachable private character, had
changed his politics five times in ten years.
This congressional district has a large Re-
publican majority. and there is doubt
about Mr.. Watson's election.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
The superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
League for Indiana is now arranging to OBJ
serve Sunday. Oct. 9. as anti-saloon Sunday
in this city. Several of the leading churches
have opened their pulpits to the league, and
they will be filled by men of ability and re-
nown. Rev. Howard Fl. Russell D. D.,
general superintendent of the American
Anti-Saloon League. and Rev. J. c. Jack
son, Phi. D., assistant superintendent will
be among the speakers. Other men of note
from Ohio will be here. Only part of the
churches in this city can be used success
fully al one time. Anti-saloon Sunday will
be observed again later in the season. The
churches are entering into this federation of
good citizens against lawlessness with a
zest that foretokens better things in the
near future. The state superintendent ex-
poets TO unite all the churches of all de-
nominations in this fight against the COM
mon enemy of our hoTnes-the legalized sa-
LOOM This federation will also include all
societies of young people and temperance
organizations of all kinds that can be in
duced to join hands in this warfare.
There is a general feeling among all law
abiding citizens that something must be
done to check the increasing lawlessness
which is seen on every hand. Let the good
citizens of this city come together and stand
side by side in this fight for civic right
eousness. w. G. HELT.

SOUVENIRS FROM MANILA.
Two Flags, One from the City and the
Other from a Transport.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 2S-Two valuable
souvenirs of the capture of Manila were re-
ceived at the Navy Department to-day from
Admiral Dewey. One is the official flag
of Manila sewed to which was a linen
memorandum saying that the flag was
"hauled down Aug. 49, 1898, $40, by Flag
Lieutenant Brumby and signal boys Stan
ton and Fereuson, from the flagship Olym-
pia after the surrender of the city to the
combined naval and military forces of the
United States" The other souvenir was
'the flag of Spanish armed transport Cebu,
captured at Manila, Aug. 10, 1885," These
flags were turned over to the chief clerk of
the Navy Department for transmission to
the Naval Academy, where all sucn trophies
of the American navy are stored and dis
played.

A windfall for stately Ada Dare.

CHICAGO. Sept. 2S.-A romance begun
behind the scenes of a New York theater
was ended on the evening of Aug II in the
Lexington Hotel in Chicago, when Ada
Dare. the well-known actress, was married
to Frank Ehret. heir to the millions of
George Ehret, the famous New York
brewer. Early in the summer Frank Ehret
left New York and started ostensiby for the
far West. Soon after Ada Dare also started
Westward. Aug. II a marriage license was
secured in Chicago for Frank Ehret and
Mrs. Frances M. Roux and that same night
Justice James c. Martin, of the Harrison
street Police Court made the pair man and
wife. The securing of the marriage license
for Mrs. Frances NJ. Roux gave no clew to
the identity of the contracting parties and
ever since the performance of the ceremony
the pair have been living at the Lexington.
They have visited the theater and gone
whittier they pleased without attracting any
undue attention. All this time secret ennis
saries of the elder Ehret, who was said to
strenuously oppose the match. were search
ing everywhere for the missing heir but
could not find him. Mr. Ehret to-day adj
mitted the marriage but would say nothing
more.
Ada Dare was last seen here as the bur-
lesque queen in Hoyt's "A Black Sheep"
She is a statuesque blonde with fine stage
presence and something of soprano.

UEFFERSONVILLE, Ind, Sept. 2S.-In
their efforts to make political capital out of
the action in Office of former City Clerk A.
II. Banber. the Democrats of the City
Council are repudiating laws made by them
selves. Several years ago Councilman Dor
sey Democrat, presented resolution pro-
viding that the city clerk should be allowed
fee of per cent. on all licenses collected
The resolution was passed and remained on
the records as a law until after Mr.. Bam-
Der had retired from office to accept the
deputy postmastership. With the incoming
of the Democrats in control of city affairs,
MIR. Dorsey, who had forgotten that it was
Re who had introduced the resolution and
fought hard to get it through made a re-
quest that the city clerk show by what
right he had been drawing this fee. When
olutlon he challenged the statement. The
production of the records, however, con-
WINGED him of his error. During his terms
of office Mr. Bamber collected probably $500
in fees of this kind. Able lawyers say that
resolution, properly offered and passed by
a city council, is in full force and effect UNI
til its repeal. In their desire to make capt.
set up claim that the resolution was in
valid after year from its adoption. At the
session of the Council Tuesday evening the
license committee reported in favor of in
structlng the city attorney to make a de-
mand on Mr.. Bamber for the money which,
and If necessary, institute suit to recover
1T. Several prominent Democrats have adj
mtted to Mr.. Bamber that the action is
only a political scheme.
