The Contest Held to select a Repre-
sentative for the State Ora
tOrical Contest.

The primary contest of the indianapolis
High School to select a representative for
the annual state oratorical contest, which
is to be held in Richmond April 13 was
held last night in Plymouth Church. The
large auditorium was filled with the stu
dents and their friends, and at times the
outbursts of yells which the rival classes
emitted were nearly deafening. The Cinch
Club occupied the north corner of the bal
cony, and the members of it dangled over
the railing painted signs on which was the
name of their favorite-Coburn Allen.
Harry Grassland, president of the local
oratoricai association, acted as master of
ceremonies and introduced the first speak
er. Ernest Cohen. Mr. Cohen took for his
subject Benjamin Franklin as a Man.
He spoke of this great man as master of
all trades, but who cared not to be mas
tered by any. Following Ernest Cohen
the Gentlemens Mandolin Club rendered
couple of selections, which were warmly
received. Mr.. Edwin Friend was the next
speaker, and his subject was Political
Corruption" Young Friend deplored the
fact that our legislative members Were
purchasing their offices. and the political
throughout the country that it had already
placed blot of shame on Americas fair
name. Miss Elizabeth Maley followed,
and the subject of her manuscript was
Harriet Beecher Stowe" Miss Maley in
her recital of the life of this authoress
paid her many glowing tributes. Coburn
Allen was the fourth speaker and his sub
ject was Benjamin Franklin, the states
man.. Mr.. Allen spoke of the many deeds
which Benjamin Franklin performed in a
judicial way while this country was in it's
infancy. The Boys Glee Club entertained
the audience with a few musical numbers,
and then followed the last speaker, George
Posey, whose subject was Abraham Lin
coin" Mr.. Posey gave a very forcible
grafton on the life of the martyred Presi-
dent and the outburst of cheering which
met the conclusion of his address was
great. At the conclusion of the orations
David Levy gave a recital on the organ.
but the pea1s of it were lost in the demon

John S. Duncan. William Taylor and

She Wants a Life Sentence-CrfminaI
Court Cases.

Early last week Pearl Gann colored
girl. seventeen years old, was tried in the
Criminal Court for assauting Louis
Vaughn, married man who had been at
tentive to her. She attacked him with
razor when she learned he was married,
and destroyed the sight of one eye. When
brought into court she pleaded guilty and
Judge Afford, taking into consideration
her youth, gave her light sentence. The
sentence was nine months in the work
house.
The girl is still at the Jail and yesterday
she wrote Judge Afford letter requesting
him to change the sentence and send her
to prison for life. She said she would never
be happy without Louis Vaughn, and she
reaIlzed that he would never forgive her.
she wrote, land 1 will still remain a nice
girl, and / want my sentence changed be-
cause Louis won't have me, and no one
change my sentence. 1 will stilf remain a
prisoner till death sets me free. Please
think this over and do with me what you
Judge Afford and the states attorney

WORK..OF' THE ALL STARS
NOT APPRECIATED BY THE BOWL
ERs OF INDIANAPOLIS.
A Local Team Could BE Picked to De-
feat Them-Standings and Az
erages in the Leagues.

The All-stars have come and gone. but
they did not shine quite as brightly as the
local bowlers hoped they would. They
had been advertised as world beaters, and
the Indianapolis bowlers expected to see
really better bowling than was given by
the travelling organization. 1t Is good
thing for the All-stars that the games
with the Greater New Yorks have been
called off, for it is the general belief that
the latter would have taken every game
from the All-stars. 1t is a wonder the
Indianapolis bowlers did not take more
games from the visitors last week. Had
the Marions and Blue Labels played in
good form they would have won at least
one of their games from the All-stars.
They were disappointment, but they are
gone and it is no use to say much about
them. If Indianapolis bowlers took up the
game as a profession as the representa-
tives OF the All-stars have a team could
be selected here within a few weeks that
could take nine out of ten games from the
All-stars.
The international bowling tournament to
be held under the auspices of the united
bowling clubs of New York at Union Hill
Park, suburb of the metropolis, during
the week of July Is to % is causing wide
spread interest throughout the bowlers in
the country. There is already talk in In
dianapolis of organizing team to take
in this tournament in New York, and If
there should not be an Indianapolis team
organized there will be representatives of
this city in a Western team to play the
Eastern bowlers. There will be $4,000
offered in prizes, which will attract bowlers
from all over the country. There will also
be Canadian bowSers hand to contest
with the Americans. There will be tourna-
ments in various styles of games. and the
lady bowlers will also have large prizes
for which to contest

became totally blind She had met with
no accident, there had been no unusual
strain on the optic nerves, neither was
there any physical condition that could
be considered In any way associated with
the afiiiction. For years no relief could

The grand jury failed to indict Maurice
Dalton, who was charged with the murder
of Albert Ward, jr., on Sunday. Dec. 10.
The jury found that Dalton acted in self
defense. The evidence showed that Dalton
struck Ward with brick while the latter
was advancing toward him, presumably
with the intention of attacking him. The

as to whether Wards death was really due
to the wound received from Dalton.

with being responsible for the death of his
wife, the jury also failed to find an indict-
ment because of insufficient evidence
