WRONG IDEA PREVAILS
ABOUT THE FAILURE TO ASK FOR
AN APPROPRIATION.
Councilman DaIIer Explains the Sit
uation-Mayor Taggart Talks
City Affairs.

A statement was made yesterday that
owing to the fact that the Council failed
to make an appropriation for carrying on
the investigation for which a resolution
was adopted by the Council Monday night
it will be several weeks before this in
vestigation can be brought up. Council
man Daller, a member of the committee
on investigation and impeachment, stated
last night that 1T was not the intention
Of the Republicans TO get an appropriation
through the Council at the last meeting.
He said that as soon as Mayor Taggart
takes action on the resolution, and 1T is
believed that he will sign It, the Council
may then be called in special session for
the purpose of asking for an appropriation
to carry on the investigation. 1t is likely
that the committee will ask for $500 to
pay the expenses. A stenographer will
have to be paid and an attorney may
be employed. Councilman Daller stated
that in case Mayor Taggart should veto
an ordinance for an appropriation for the
investigation there are plenty of men ready
to contribute enough money to carry on
the work.
Councilman Daller said that while several
replies have been received to the letters
sent out to the ex-policemen and ex-fire-
men most of the men called in person and
said that when the time came they would
tell some interesting things on the wit
ness stand.
Mayor Taggart was asked last night If he
had received the resolutions passed by the
Council and said he had not. He said he
did not know what action he would take
on them until after he had read them.

The Indianapolis and Logansport

Several promoters Of the Logansport &

scheme by the beginning Of work on the
road between Logansport and Chicago.

turns were equal to his expectations 1t
would be necessary to practically double

will increase the present earnings about
four times.

THE BARNET CASE AGAIN
PROSECUTION SCORES ANOTHER
POINT AGAINST r.. b. MOLINEUx.
Gets Poisoning Evidence Before the
Jury Despite the Recorders Rul-
ing Of Wednesday.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1S-Assistant District
Attorney Osborne announced to-day that
the prosecution tomorrow would close its
case against Roland b. Molineux, charged
with the murder of Katherine ]. Adams.
The prosecution to-day introduced two
more handwriting experts who testified
briefly that the handwriting of the Cor
nish and Barnet letters and of the
poison package address was identical with
that of Molineux. Recorder Golf ruled
that the prosecution would not be per-
mitted to call any more handwriting ex-
perts, and one of the jurors expressed his
WEAKNESS of expert testimony.
The most important testimony to-day re-
lated to the poisoning of III. c. Barnet,
and while Mr.. Osborne was always checked
by the court, when he asked the witness
questions that connected Molineux with
the Barnet case, still the prosecution scored
effectively. James S. Hudson, a salesman,
formerly associated with II. G. Barnet, tes-
titled that late in the summer of 1898, short
ly before Barnet's death, Barnet received
by mail package about one and half
inches long and HIGH In a light colored
wrapper.
Witness continued: IL saw Mr.. Barnet
open the package saw him take out the
contents. AS / recollect it, there was some
cotton, a smaller box inside and in it were
some pink red capsuls.''
Low does all this become relevant"
asked the recorder.
II shall show said Osborne. that Bar
| net received things anonymously through
the mails and that this defendant bought
such remedies as have just been described,
in the name of II. G. Barnet"
Edmund Barnet, brother of II. c. Bar
net, testified that among the latter's eff
fects were a small white box containing
fifteen pink pills and also a box contain
ing a salve.
DR.. Robert Boocock, homeopathic ply
stefan of forty years experience, testified
that small doses of cyanide OF mercury
often repeated, would produce all the
symptoms of diphtheria. Barnet, it will
be remembered. was treated for diphtheria.
Other witnesses to-day were Vincent CT.
Hammill, president of private remedy
agency who treated by mail the bogus II.
c. Barnet. alleged by the prosecution to
be Molineux for impotency and who testi-
fled to his correspondence with the so-called
Barnet, and William Inglis a newspaper

BEvERIDGE's SPEECH.
1t Has Attracted Attention Even I'm
Provincial New York.


New York Letter in Philadelphia Press
1t has often been a subject for complaint
on the part of some of the members Of
the Senate that the newspapers of New
York city either utterly ignore their
speeches or else spoil them by insufficient
and unsatisfactory reports of them, and
the reply that has come from the newspa-
per offices in New York has been that no
speech that was worth reporting in full
and was bound TO be of interest to news
paper readers here ever failed to receive
as many columns as were required for its
full publication. 1t has been sometimes
said that If papers of this city seemed TO
pay too little heed to the comments and
acts of senators the reason is TO be dis
covered in the Senate chamber and not In
the editorial Offices. Among the other tri-
umphs Senator Beverage has won was the
demonstration as made In the newspaper
press of this city of the fact that when a
senator makes speech that Is worth re-
porting 1T gets reported. no matter how
much space Ii requires. The senator
speech upon the Philippine question was
fully reported by some OF the papers and
a verbatim report appeared In three or
four. In addition to that, the speech itself
the personal characteristics of the new SEN
ator who delivered IL and his quality as an
orator commanded the larger part OF the
editorial attention of our journals for
day or two.
But, perhaps. the most striking tribute
to the accuracy OF his judgment I'm
speaking now. instead OF ueIerrlng, as one
distinguished senator suggested TO him TO
do TO speak is furnished by the Journal
of Commerce. which never pays editorial
heed to other subjects than those which
are deemed of commanding interest or i'm
portance. This newspaper has an influence
and authority upon all questions relating
to commercial financial or what may be
called economic statesmanship interests
which perhaps no other publication OF this
city possesses. IT devotes not only lead
ing editorial but long one 10 Senator Bev-
eridge's address. and while criticising some
OF the rhetorical form that II took. its per-
fervid and howery embellishments, never
theless speaks Of these as mere trifiing

ADJUSTMENTS.
~Just Before Dawn" at the Park Last
Night.

Just Before Dawn" is the name of the
melodrama that succeeded an entertain
ing. but very noisy. farce at the Park Thea
ter yesterday. and the announcement that
the new piece was staged under the direc-
ton of Lincoln j. Carter was sufficient to
bring two large audiences to the matinee
and night performances. Hugh Gibson, the
author of the play. is deserving of sincere
congratulation for having produced some
thing in the line of melodrama that pos
sesses real merit. True, there are exag-
gerated, not to say impossible, climaxes
and plenty of them, but they are essentials
of melodrama. Without them the hands
OF such as sit in the upper portions of the
house would soon lose their callousness
acquired by long and vociferous applause,
and the ears of occupants of seats upon
the lower floor would no longer be agitatee
by piercing whistles. Aside from the in
tense situations-which are not bad, after
all. as such things go-there are pictures
of life among the humble that possess pas
toral simplicity and beauty. Mr. Gibson as
sumes the role OF Reuben Terney, a gar
dener. and makes OF him decidedly pictur-
esque and lovable old man. The lines put
into Terney's mouth are bright, with a
homely wit that often equals that of plays
taking higher rank from a literary point
OF view. Mr.. Gibson is easily the best char
acter actor seen at the Park in long time
Miss Minnette Browning's work I'm the
character OF Nanny Terney also deserves
special mention. Her touch is delicate to a
degree that is surprising. Miss Olive West
displays much versatility In the assump-
ton OF two roles. appearing alternately as
Helen Carriston and Hortense. the villains
discarded wife. Emmett Whitney as John
Carriston, the mine owner, is fairly good,
but puts little more violence than Is
necessary into the reading OF his lines
Eugene Kay as William Warren, spokes-
man for the outraged mine workers does
some excellent acting. w. III. Young por-
trays typical Irishman OF the laboring
class I'm the person of Michael O'Hara
Edmund nanley as DIR. Sanford, the lover
OF Nanny Terney. wins much deserved ap-
plause. Willard Bowman as Edwin Bran
don makes an acceptable villain. The roles
OF Richard Demming. foreman OF the mine
and Olga Carriston, the owners younger
daughter. assigned TO Edwin and Bertha
Houghton. might easily have been placed
I'm better lands. Miss Houghton seems i'm
pressed with the idea that tragic emotion
can best be portrayed by vocal sounds that
suggest canine snarls and growls.
Just Before Dawn" is excellently staged,
the catastrophe scene, in the second act,
being very beautiful. 1t will NIL out the
week. with usual daily matinees, and de-
serves to be we'll patronized.

blemishes. feeling assured that with matur-
ity the young senator will realize that per
feet simplicity Is the best medium for
thought when addressing a body like the
Senate.
These attentions which Senator Beverage
has received will undoubtedly strengthen
that disposition that is characteristic of
common human nature. and from which
even distinguished senators are not always
exempt. which is the tribute which success
receives from rivals For. TO speak plainly,
Senator Beverage has already encountered
not only the respect but the jealousy OF
some OF those who have oratOrical reputa-
tions to maintain. a disposition which the
committee appointed to arrange for the Lin
coin dinner found very strongly mani
tested.

City Attorney Kern is doubtful If it would
be legal to grant franchises to the inter-
urban electric lines under the proposed
franchises they have submitted to the
Board of Public Works. They ask that
they be allowed to charge a fare of five
cents in Indianapolis, so as to discourage
local traffic i'm the city. but provision of
the last Legislature, under which the new
lines are asking admission to Indianapolis,
states that six tickets for twenty-five cents,
or twenty-five for a dollar, shall be sold
to passengers. The city attorney and the
Board of Works will hold a consultation
upon the matter before granting any fran
chises to interurban lines.
