Pharmacy Company, G. +. SayIes and
Henry c. LOng-CIaims Made.

Exceptions were filed yesterday in the
United States Court to the appraisement of
the property in the square upon which the
new federal building is to be erected. Yes
terday morning the exceptions Of the j.
N. Hurry Pharmacy Company were filed
by Attorneys Noel and Lair. The eXcep-
tions alleged were to the effect that the
pharmacy company was the tenant of the
property situated on Lot 6, in Squire SO,
and that they were the owners of lease
which would expire in March, 1902, and
that they had further oral agreement
with the landlord of the property whereby
they were to have the option of renewing
their lease for the period of three years
when 1t should have expired; that the COM
mission appointed to appraise the property
had assessed the damages of the j. n.
Hurry Pharmacy Company to be SO a
month for the unexpired term Of the writ
ten lease; that such damages were wholly
inadequate and that the sum total of dam
ages should have been declared to be S.
900; that the lease, together with the oral
option of a further lease Of three years,
was reasonably worth 5000. and that the
incidental damages incurred by reason
or the enforced removal would result in a
further damage of 81 800; that there would
these amounts. with others thai WouId
arise through the enforced removal. would
cause damage to the defendant in the sum
total of $3.50.
1t was supposed for time that the above
exceptions would be all that would be filed,
but about o'clock last evening Attorney
Smith filed the exceptions of Charles F.
Sayles and Henry c. Long, owners of Lots
> and g. in Square 80. Mr.. SayleS set forth
in his exceptions that under the act of
March /, 1899. the United States had no
power authority at this time to acquire
a site for the public building that would
exceed in cost $3.50 600; that Lot No. was
but a parcel of the land to be condemned
and that the United States intends to con-
denim the whole of Square No. Sc and that
the purchase price of the whole square
will exceed in value the sum of 5000 900.
And further, that the commission fixed the
price Of Lot No. at 10000 when, in fact,
the value at this date exceeds the sum
of $4,000.
Henry c. Long sets forth substantially
the same as Mr.. Sayles, with the exception
that in his case the property was appraised
at $1,000 and he says 1t is worth at this
time the sum of 10000.

SALE OF SEASON TICKETS
VIII he Begun ut Once Under Com
merciaI Club Auspices.

An enthusiastic gathering of promoters
assembled yesterday afternoon a the Com
mercial Club, and after several "declara-
tions of faith in the Indianapolis public
arrangements were made to Immediately
begin soliciting subscriptions for a guaran-
tee fund for the May music festival The
committee which was appointed to secure
the subscriptions is composed of Messrs.
w. III. Elvin. Ct. y. Rocker, A. a. Young,
T.. X. Chapman, w. Z. Kappes, f. z. Mat
son, Warren Cakes, Fred NJ. Ayres, Emil
Wuschner, Major Taylor and j. X. Lilly.
1t = thought two hundred firms and busi-
ness men of the city will consent to SUBJ
scribe for five season tickets each. This
will make guarantee fund of 5000, enough
to insure the success of the venture. 1t is
not expected that the members of the COM
mittee will be able to see all who desire
season tickets, but subscribers will have
the first opportunity of purchasing seats,
day being designated for this purpose
before the seats are offered to the general
public. Those who wish seats may sub
scribe for as many as they wish, but on the
day of sale subscriber will be allowed
to purchase more seats than contracted for
This ii is thought will be an equitable
scheme for the disposal of seats. Those who
desire TO subscribe for season tickets may
do so by calling on or communicating with
Evans Woollen, secretary of the CONNER
cial Club. The canvaSserS will begin their
work at once, and the directors anticipate
a ready response TO their solicitations

A Denial hY Jones.

Frank l.. Jones, the livery man whom Mr..
Matson said was also witness to the re-
marks of Al Harston when he is alleged to
have told of his relation with the late
street-car deal. when seen last night, en-
phatically denied ever hearing anything
said by either Mr. Matson or Mr.. Harston
relative to that matter. Mr.. Jones said that
one Sunday afternoon, about two months
ago. he and Mr.. Matson Were standing in
front of his stable, when Al Harston APP
MatSon there, said: Hello, Denny mis-
taking him for Denny OBrien. Mr.. Jones'
seeing the error, introduced the two men
and went into the barn to attend to his du-
ties there. He did not hear their CONVEX
sation and was much surprised last night
when he saw in the evening papers that his
name was linked with the alleged CONVEX
Sation.

THE VENEZUELAN CASE
GENERAL HARRISON EXPLAINS THE
BOUNDARY SITUATION.
His Position Not Made Clear I'm n Pre-
ceding Interview-what Venezuela
Secured from the Tribunal.

General Harrison calls attention to the
fact that the report fn yesterdays Journal
OF his statement with reference 20 the Brit
.sh-Venezuelan boundary was not quite ac-
curate.
Il did not say, OF course" said the ex-
President, las any one Who had followed
the case would know, that Great Britain
had been dispossessed of not only the land
In dispute, but also the greater part of
the land, etc. What / did say was that
beofre the Intervention OF the United States
In the controversy Great Britain had MAIN
tanned In her correspondence with Venezue-
Ia that all of the territory within a GER
tain line was 20 indisputablv hers that the
question was not open to arbitration. Out
side OF this line of certain ownership she
put forward claims to very large extent
OF territory Her claim of an indisputable
title included the mouth OF the Orlnoco
river. at least the right bank. which she
had occupied with two military or police
stations. As the investigation proceeded and
the evidence submitted Great Britaiu's
pretensions 10 territory outside Of the line
she had indicated was shown to be so un-
tenable that they were in large part aban-
doned in the argument and the territory
assigned to Venezuela. In addition the
mouth OF the orinoco and a coast line Of
some fifty or sixty miles TO the east OF it
was awarded to Venezuela, as also several
thousand square miles of territory i'm the
interior which was claimed by Great Brit
ain to be indisputably hers. The en-
croachment OF Great Britain upon the
Orinoco and her claim TO Point Barima.
which controlled the ships entrance OF
that river, were the matters that particu-
larry excited the interest and alarm OF the
United States and brought about the inter
ventiCn or this country. The control OF this
point by Great Britain would have given
her a commercial supremacy over that river
and its branches The two military posts
or police stations which Great Britain had
established on the Orinoco she was required
TO Withdraw. and also an interior station
which she had established on the Cuyuni
river. The result, as | have said before
was "A compromise. / Believed that we
demonstrated TO the tribunal the right or
Venezuela TO a much larger extent OF ter
rtory. but that must be taken as the
thought of her counsel. The result was
only a success for Venezuela when we keep
a. mind what she would have lost II the
4 nited States had not interviewed and Sc
cured a hearing before an arbitral tribunal.
1T Is quite natural that "A reporter should
rot have been able accurately TO state all
this That would only have been possible 70
one who had followed the case carefully"

A SEVERE REBUKE.
During the time that Goblin was on the
stand 1t came 10 the ears of the court that
one of the witnesses named Cruzer
had, contrary to the instructions Of the
court. been talking with some of the other
witnesses. The court sent for him and adj
ministered a severe reprimand. in which he
again warned the offender that the court
would not allow the witnesses to discuss the
case. At the conclusion of the testimony OF
Goblin. John Carlisle. of Little York. n small
place about nine miles from Scottsburg, was
called TO the stand. He said that he never
knew Tyler until the night of the lynchinE
in Scottsburg. He came into Scottsburg

masked and had guns with them. They
told him 10 halt or they would blow his
brains out He was forced to sit upon the
curb for twenty or thirty minutes. Most OF
the men were masked: some few looked like
they were not. They were so far away that
he could not see them. He was directly OPP

with lamp. The crowd returned in about
ten minutes with Tyler who was crying
very ptifully. He heard Tyler say to them.

They then took him to the grove in the
courthouse yard, where they remained
about fifteen minutes. when they returned
through the same gate While they were in
the court yard Carlisle said that he heard a
noise like the sound of pistol and like the
falling of board. Carlisle then was asked
as to the whereabouts OF Sheriff Goblin all
this time. He replied that Goblin came out
OF the house about fifteen minutes after the
mob had left the courthouse yard, and that
he came over to where he was, and when
he saw him he said, Lets go and get up a
crowd and go after them" Goblin then
went west while the mob was going north.
Carlisle was then asked If he recognized
any of the mob and he answered mo, sir. :"
He was then asked If there was not a man
in dark clothes. about six feet high. whom
he recognized as Ed Price. He replied that
he thought Price was a heavier man than
the man referred TO.
He said, further. that he did not recognize
any one of the mob. Mr.. Rocker then asked
the witness if he had ever been asked, either
by the sheriff any other official, If he
could identify any of the mob, and he re-
piled that he had not
After the close of the testimony of Car
Isle the court instructed the jury to be very
careful in its demeanor and the case was ad-

SALVATION ARMY LECTURE.


Colonel and Mrs. French, of Chicago, gave
a stereopticon lecture last night at the Sal
walton Army hall, on East Ohio street. The
hall was well filled and although the lee
turers experienced some trouble in arrang-
ing their apparatus the crowd was kept in
good humor by several members of the local
army rendering a few musical selections.
The subject OF Colonel French's lecture last
might was The Life of Orange Harriet
an Army Trophy" 1t is the story of way
ward girl who had been reared in the
slums of London and who had TO make the
living for several members of her family,
and who, becoming discouraged, ran away
from home. Becoming contaminated by evil
influences, she was on the verge of wreck
ing her spiritual life, when she was saved
by the Salvation Army. She afterward be-

USE OF VOTING MACHINES
BOONE COUNTY TAKES THE INITIA-
TIVE IN THIS DIRECTION.
The First County in the State to buy
Machines-Twenty-O Bought mt
Total Cost of $4,000.

Word comes from Lebanon that, after an
all-day discussion, the Boone County Com
missioners late yesterday evening con-
tracted with the United States Voting Ma
chine Company. of Jamestown. n. ", for
twenty-one voting machines for use in that
county. The total outlay for the machines
is S126oo. The machines are TO be delivered
by Dec. 80.
Boone county is the first in the State TO
purchase voting machines, but it is under
stood that in several other counties the
matter is under consideration by the Coun-
ty Commissioners, and that by the next
election arrangements will have been made
for pretty general use of machines. 1t is
agreed upon all sides that the voting ma
chine is now a practical reality. In addi-
ton to other advantages, the general use
OF machines at all elections will insure a
quicker and more reliable count of re-
turns. In Indiana. at a general election. it
is always two or three days before even
an approximate majority can be figured.
The use of machines would make quick and
accurate returns possible. Voting machines
nave been usei with success in many
parts of New York for some time
IL was the intention to use a few voting
machines in this city at the last city cleo
ton, but at the last moment the discovery
was made that the ordinance was defective.
