TALKS OF LEGISLATION.
Senator Fairbanks Tells What Will be
Done with Money Question.

Senator Fairbanks, in discussing yester-
dav the leading Republican measures conf
ing before the next Congress, said that the
present run of prosperity will not be dis
turbed by any legislation calculated TO dis
arrange the present monetary system. he
SAYS the coming Congress has completed all
ARRANGEMENTS 10 pass bill fixing the gold
standard and establishing department or
redemption the primary purpose of which
will be to prevent raids on the treasury Tor
EXPORT gold. as was done during the recent
panic He admitted. however, the improba-
bility of Incorporating in the money bill
banking feature which would reduce the
tax on bank circulation and admit of cir
cuiation up to the full amount or the DonuS
deposited with the government for the pro-
tection of the holders of the currency.
The reason assigned for the bener tnat
the banking hill will not be urged as part
of tho gold standard bill Is that 1t Will In
peril the gold standard bill.
IL has been decided, however, after nxing
the sound money standard 10 provide Tor
the new department of redemption In sucn
a wav that the greenbackS in circulation
shall be represented by the full amount OF
specie 10 redeem them If presented for that
purpose at the treasury, and that the DlilS
will not again be issued until gold or silver
has been exchanged for them. In other
words either the bills or the coin must be
in the treasury at all times and by adher-
ing to this rule L will be impossible TO draw
Iepeat tho process as often as IL is desired
TO draw out GOLD. While IL is not known
that this will he an absolute cure for raids
on tho treasury X is thought 1t will be, in
asrnllch as the paper in circulation Will rep
resent actual gold and only the one can be
exrtaOppd for the other.

Good News from Fort WAYNE.

NJ. f. Beall. of Fort Wayne who is at
the Denison, is hopeful of seeing Fort
Wayne go Republican in the next munich
pal election. He says at the present time
the Republicans have smoothed over their
differences and are in better shape for a
campaign than ever before. He says the
scandals in connection with the building of
the new 'nillion-dollar courthouse" have
set even Democrats against the Courthouse
ring and have made the Republicans more
thar ever anxious TO win. He said the Nc
Kirley prosperity is being felt in every line
OF Industry and workmen are scarce. Three
years ago. he says. there were $500 idle men
in Fort Wayne, largely dependent on the
charity organizations, while building assoc
Citations and banks were almost paralyzed
for want of funds. Now money is plentiful
and work Is even moreSo. He says that
while there is little hope of carrying the
county for the Republican ticket there is ev-
cry reason to believe that the next city adj
miniStration will be Republican.

ON CHARGE OF CONTEMPT
CHARLES j. TRUEMPER Is CALLED
BEFORE JUDGE CARTER.
1t Is Claimed that Men Drank anu
Girls Smoked Cigarettes at Belle
vue-Cther Court Gossip.

Charles ]. Truemper, who is under an in
junction Of the Superior Court to obey the
liquor laws in the conduct of his Bellevue
resort. north of the city, was before Judge
Carter yesterday on the charge of contempt
of court. The most of the day was devoted
to the hearing of evidence and to-day the
case will be argued.
The courts injunction grew out OF trag-
edy which occurred early one morning in
June. 1897. in the neighborhood of Truemp-
er's place. A young man by the name OF
Thatcher was shot and killed by Henry
Leonard, farmer. Thatcher. with some
companions, was returning from Bellevue,
where they had spent some time, and in
passing Leonard's house took his horse
from the barn. He came out with shot
gun and, during an alteration which fol-
lowed, shot Thatcher. He was not con-
victed. He sued Truemper for damages on
account of the worry and anxiety that re-
suited from the killing and secured an in
junction that was to prevent Truemper
from selling liquor on Sunday or after IL
o'clock at night. He was also awarded dam
ages. Leonard claimed, in his suit for dam
ages, that the tragedy in which he was in
volved would not have happened had
Truemper not permitted people to go to his
resort at all hours of the night.
Some time after the injunction was issued
Truemper leased the Bellevue resort and
ceased to give it his attention. According to
the terms Of the lease he receives 10 per
cent. of the receipts. 1t is claimed that the
people who now have charge of the place
have been violating the injunction and that
as Truemper is sharing in the profits of the
resort he should be held responsible for
these violations. \ number of witnesses
were called on both sides yesterday. 1t is
the claim of the defense that Leonard is
back of the prosecution. One of the wit
nesseS who testified is relative OF Leon
ard. He spoke of having gone to the Belle
Vue resort one Sunday night with two
young women. He said he drank beer and
the girls smoked cigarettes. The young
women were not brought forward to cor
roborate this story. Leonard related that
on one Sunday evening he four people,
two men and two girls. drive away from
Bellevue in q trap. He said they were not
conducting themselves properly when thew
passed his house.

POLICE BOARD SUSTAINED
After Governor Mount Hears the
Charges of Women and Ministers.

delegation OF ministers and women
from the Women's Christian Association
from Elwood appeared yesterday before
Governor Mount with the expressed de-
termination OF sustaining the charges they
recently filed with the Governor against the
police board of Elwood, charging them with
failure in the execution of the law. The
hearing was an informal one, both sides
being allowed to question and cross-question
each other to their hearts content.
When the Governor announced that he
was ready to hear what the ministerial
body had to say three of them stood up and
began to talk at one time. Each of them
had a story to tell and wanted TO be first
in. 1t would seem from the testimony of
the three gentlemen that Martin L. Good.
one of the police commissioners, had told
them that he had voted against the saloon
keepers being allowed any liberty, but that
the other two members Of the board had
voted for and were in favor of the saloon
keepers having certain liberties. The rec
ord Of the police com ioners was pro-
duced, and II clearly showed that no reso-
luton of the kind had ever been passed.
The ministers, as they stood making their
declarations before the Governor, were ex-
posed to a CALLING fire of cross-questioning
from the commissioners, who were present
to defend themselves.
Many alterations occurred that were quite
dramatic in their intensity. AT one time
when the Rev. Mr.. Evans was disputfng
with Mr.. Seely of the board, he was sud-
denly asked by Seely ii the statement he
was then making was not something similar
to the one he had made the previous sun
day from the pulpit when he said that he
fervently hoped that every. American who
took part in the Philippine war would be
driven by Aguinaldo into the sea and
drowned. together with William Mckinley"
The Governor here put a stop to the pyro-
technics on the ground that they were IT.
relevant. 1t appears that the ministers
present had formed themselves into So
ciety for the purpose of finding out just
what was going on in Elwood, and had
even appointed spies, whose duty 1t was
TO haunt saloons and like places. When
this was developed the Governor became
very wroth and said in substance that
while he believed in an honest, fearless en-
forcement of the law. yet he despised the
that these charges have been made, as they
hurt the cause of men who are radical:
AS the testimony developed 1t began to
appear that it was simply the arrangement
of one mans word against another ana.
as a consequence the charges would not
be sustained. After they had all finished
the Governor said: 81 will say positively
that If these charges had been sustained
this police board would be removed before
been sustained. II you can prove them
my advice to you is to go home and bring
suit in the Criminal Court. II you can
prove these things You can and ought to

Comes to Buy LAW Books.

Senator Joseph II. Shea, of Scottsburg.
was at the Grand Hotel for a few hours
yesterday. Il came here to spend money"
said he. you see. my law library needs re-
plenishing. as am giving more attention to
my practice now than l am to politics.
Things are going along smoothly in my
county and law and order reigns. People
who think 1t isn't safe to live in or visit
Scott county make a mistake. In the past
we have been the victims, rather than the
abettors, of lawleSs men, most of whom
came from other counties, but now the repre-
sentative element is aroused and another
affair like the Marion Tyler incident would
be impossible of execution. Just now L am
not candidate for anything and am not
much in touch with those who are. 1 am
trying hard to make back some OF the mon
ey l lost by serving my party"

SMITH STREET-CAR CASE.
Things Set Forth in a Brief Filed in
the supreme Court.

A brief was filed in the Supreme Court
yesterday in the case of Charles f. Smith
against the indianapolis Street-railway
Company, In which the act Of 1892 which
granted franchise to the present company.
was questioned as to its consttutionalty.
The brief relates to the privileges that must
be granted to all citizens in like manner.
and to the other section touching upon the
creation OF corpora tons by special enact
ment.
The brief states that 1t is a monopoly and
that 1t gives offense to the Constitution and
yet II is so framed that IT seems to avoid
giving that offense-
It is asserted that the law was framed to
prevent the Citizens Company from making
any contract with the city. 1t declares
further that there Is no section in the act
OF 1897 which expressly repeats the Scent
fare act Of 1897.
The original suit was filed last May. Mr.
Smith offered a conductor a 3-cent fare.
