DIMES WITH HELEN GOULD.
c. b. Lands Accepts Invitation from
the Woman He Defended.

WASHINGTON, Feb 1O.-By special in
vitation OF Helen Gould Representative
Charles B. Lands, of Indiana, tonight was
her guest at her home in New York And
in this connection there is pretty little
story. During the debate In the House on
the question of seating Roberts Mr. Lands
made a speech in which he took occasion to
denounce the statement of Roberts I'm his
own behalf that sill the opposition to his
being seated was due to the hysteria of
women
1T is true" said Mr. Lands in his
speech, "that woman-the true American
woman-ls the head and front of this up-
rising, and believe that the gentleman
from Utah has unconsciously paid the
womanhood of America the highest tribute
IL has received" Then he defended Miss
Gould, who led in the movement against
the sneering illusions OF Roberts He
spoke of her gentleness and refinement and
her womaniy virtues. He told OF the
glorious work she had done in behalf of
humanity during the Spanish American
war, closing his peroration with fervent
God bless Helen Gould"
Among the women who watched the
progress OF the debate with more than
ordinary interest was Miss Gould herself.
She read the newspaper ACCOUNTS OF the
Hoosier representatives speech in defense
OF morality and In her behalf. Then she
sat down and wrote 10 Mr.. Landis. thank

RODE LIKE PAUL REVERE
HOW COL. THOMPSON REACHED A
MEETING OF ELECTORS IN 1s4O.
He Arrived I'm Time to Cast His Vote
DIR. William II. wishard Talks of
Him EntertainineIy.

Dr.. William H. Wishard, of this city,
knew Col r. w. Thompson intimately
and was one of Mr.. Thompson's ardent
admirers. In speaking of Colonel Thompson
being the last of Indiana's electors of 1910.
DR.. Wishard related an incident of that
years campaign. In December. 1910, the
Indiana electors held a meeting in the
Statehouse, after having canvassed the
vote for the presidential candidates, Har-
rison and Van Buren,. At that time DR..
wishard was practicing medicine in the
country near what was known as the
Bluffs, near Waverly, this county. The
meeting of the electors was for the pur-
pose of casting the States official ballot
for President.
1t appears that Col. Thompson, VINO was
one of the electors. did not get word that
the meeting would be held until within
few hours before it was to take place. The
only means of getting here was to come
on horseback, and Colonel Thompson
started DR.. Wishard remembers that very
early in the morning of the day the electors
were to meet Colonel Thompson rode up
to the tavern at the Bluffs and called for
a fresh horse. The animal which brought
him TO the Bluffs showed signs of desper-
ate riding and was exhausted. For years
Colonel Thompson thought it was DR..
Wishard who supplied him with new
horse, but it was not. The keeper of the
tavern on learning of the colonel's predica-
ment furnished him a horse and he set off
for the city. a distance of about sixteen
miles.
The electors were in session when Colonel
Thompson dashed up to the old Statehouse
and dismountea. He rushed into the build
Ing in the midst of the electors as his name
was called. As he entered the chamber the
clerk or secretary announced that Colonel
Thompson was absent. That's Demo
cratic lie" exclaimed Colonel Thompson,
as he made his appearance. In few mo-
ments had he not arrived a substitute
would have been selected to cast his vote.
Colonel Thompsons tongue was most
scathing when he set about to skin
man." said DR.. Wishard "He would not
stoop to anything low or vulgar in his
speech, but his words were keen and went
straight home"

LAWYERS ARE FACETI0US
CONSIDERABLE Fun IN A DEMUR-
RER AND THE REPLIES.
Lucille McNardee, a Mind Reader, SUI
ing the Street-RnfIway Company
Other Court Cases.

Judge Carter. of the Superior Court has
oyerruled demurrer in the suit of Lucille
McNardee against the Indianapolis Street.
railway Company. The suit was formerly
tried before a justice of the peace and a
verdict was given in favor OF the defend
ant. The case was then appealed to the
Superior Court. Lucille McNardee pro-
fesses to be a mind reader. She was in
jured on the night of Oct. Is last, while
getting off a North indianapolis car at
Senate and Indiana avenues. She claims
the car started before she could alight.
The attorneys for the street-car COM
pany In filing a demurrer to the plaintiff s
complaint declared that the complaint
showed contributory negligence on the
part of the plaintiff. This charge was made
in some memoranda filed with the demur-
rer and IT further said: "If she was a
mind reader she knew, or. by the exercise
Of due care, ought to have known that the
conductor would start the car and so she
ought to have called the police or some
other of the unseen powers to have pre-
vented him from doing so before she at
tempted to get off. Physician. heal thy
self
The plaintiffs attorneys filed two differ
ent replies to this demurrer. one Of which
said while the plaintiff alleges that she
is mind-reader and does read the minds
OF ordinary persons, she makes no preten-
tons of reading the minds OF soulless COR
porations. 1t is not the intention of plant
iff's attorneys to enter a discussion Of the
subject of mind-reading. However. it is
we'll known that persons practicing the
same do not read the minds of all with
whom they come in contact, but only when
they make an effort TO do So The plaintiff
had the right to presume that the con-
ductor in charge of the car would not
start the car until he had seen the plaintiff
had left the car.
In the other reply the plaintiffs attor-
neys held: at does not necessarily follow
that the plaintiff is to read the mind Of
every one with whom she comes In con-
tact when requested to do so. and further.
without the essential five silver dollars in
advance. Plaintiff further states that she
does not believe in the axiom, Physician,
heal myself but acts on the well-estab-
ished custom of other professionals and
calls upon sister professionals to admin
lister to her needs
Judge Carter overruled the demurrer of
the street-car company and the case will
probably go to trial on its merits.

THE THOMPSON FUNERAL.
State Officers Adopt Resolutions and
VIII BE I'm Attendance.

II has been decided that the state off,
GERS, heads of the various departments and
a number of the Supreme and Appellate
Judges will attend the funeral of Colonel
Thompson in body. They will go by way
Of the Vandalia, which leaves at 1880
o'clock tomorrow morning.
At meeting of the state officers held in
the Governors parlors yesterday morning
the following committee was appointed to
draft suitable resolutions: Governor
Mount, Judge Uric u. Wiley, of the SUI
preme Court John B. Conner, of the Bu-
reau of Statistics; w. II. Hart, auditor of
state; Charles E. Wilson, secretary TO the
Governor. The resolutions are as follows:
Whereas, 1t has pleased Almighty God
in His wisdom to summon Col Richard
w. Thompson from this world to His king
dom: therefore, be Ii
Resolved, That In the death of this il
lustrious and venerable citizen we realize
that the State and Nation have lost reso-
lutte defender and humanity has lost a
steadfast friend.
Colonel Thompson was type peculiar
to himself. He was an ardent partisan
without enemies; politician without sell
fish purposes; born leader who sought
and secured following by no other means
than argument, eloquence and gentleness.
From early youth to ripe old age ms lie
for the equality of mankind, and his public
and private acts were inspired by sincerity
OF purpose TO serve the best interests OF
his feilow-men. regardless of his own.
Born in 1902 Colonel Thompson lived in In
diana almost his entire adult life, endear-
ing himself to thousands OF loyal friends,
and in various capacities performing val
liable service in behalf of the public veal.
He never shrank or hesitated when duty
called. He had convictions and he had
courage. but his nature was too great to
permit bitterness TO enter into 1t. He was
a conspicuous survivor of a notable CO.
terie of men who were famous as great
statesmen at q time when the Republic
was yet in its infancy. He was true
American and an unselfish patriot. His
public deeds are a part of the history of
the State and Nation, and, therefore, need
not be recounted here. His home life was
hospitable. loveable and ideal. He lived
longer than the period allotted to man by
the psalmist, and, when the final summons
came, he accepted Ii with serene, Chris
tian resignation. His faith in the future
was sublime and he met the inevitable de-

PLEA OF SOUTH SIDERS
THEY WANT THE ART MUSEUM CIV
EN- A CENTRAL LOCATION.
A Resolution That VIII BE Presented
to the Art Association Direc-
tors-Talks Made.

The people Of the southern portion Of the
city propose If, as some of them say, they
are given by the board of directors the
consideration to which they are entitled
to have a voice in the settlement of the
question as to where the new art museum
shall be located. The initiatory was taken
last night at q meeting held at the o. P.
Morton Club rooms at Cottage avenue and
Shelby street. Though not so largely at
tended as was expected. the representation
was good and the meeting was enthusiastic.
James e. Twiname was selected as chair
man and George Young as secretary. After
a statement as to the object of the meet
ing General .Coburn spoke for some time
on the advantages of a downtown loca-
ton, for which the South Siders are con-
tending, and said he was satisfied that
suitable property could be secured in the
central part of the city which would be
more desirable for an art museum site than
Fairbank, the Talbot property and other
properties heretofore considered. He men.
toned several pieces of real estate within
a square of the courthouse which he
thought could be secured for the purpose.
Charles N. Leonard and Secretary George
Young followed with short talks upon the
disadvantages the people of the South Side
will sustain if the museum is located at
any other than a central point and cited
several personal experiences in other cities
where the art studios are far from the GEN.
trail and business portion of the city. Rev.
r. v. Hunter also spoke in favor of a
downtown location. letter from DR. N.
A. Hyde, OF 1916 North Delaware street, in
which he expressed sympathy with the
people or the South Side In their desire for
q centrally located museum, was read.
The following resolution was adopted and
a committee composed of General Coburn
Charles N. Leonard and George Young was
appointed to present 1t to the board of di-
rectors:
1--WE, the people of the South Side of the
city of indianapolis, in mass convention
assem- ,led, believe:
Il. That there is no good reason why the
art building should go to the Fairbank or
the Talbot place, and, on the other hand,
that either of these places would be very
inconvenient location for said building.
'2. That central location would be
more convenient and suitable to the citi-
zens of Indianapolis and TO visitors than a
suburban location, afford greater oppor-
tunity for citizens TO avail themselves of
IT'S advantages and be of the most benefit
TO the greatest number of her citizens, an
ornament to our city. the pride of her peo-
pie and the favorite resort of all, many of
whom would rarely, If ever. find it con-
located; therefore, be 1T
Resolved, That we, the citizens of the
South Side, In mass convention assembled,
do hereby petition the board of control TO
locate said art building in some convenient
location near the center of the CITY,"
The petition was signed by r. V. Hunter,
George Young. Nelson r. Hughes, A Nc
Feely and Charles n. Leonard.
