GEN. SKATER RECEIVES
MANY PEOPLE CALL AT THE GRAND
HOTEL TO SEE HIM.
He Was Much Impressed at the HON.
age Paid to Gen. Lawton's Re-
mains-A Dinner at EngIish's.

The lobby of the Grand Hotel was
crowded last night with many of Indiana
well-known citizens all of whom were
anxious to extend greeting TO Gen. w.
r. Shafter. The general held an informal
reception in the parlors of the hotel from
8 until 10 o'clock, and was kept busy most
of the time in shaking hands with the hum
dreds of people to whom he was intro
duced.
In the receiving line were General Shaft
er. Admiral Brown. Major Marsh and Capt.
William E. English. The guests were met
at the door of the parlor in which the
party stood by Captain English, and by
him introduced to the general. Owing to a
mistaken impression great many people
went to the Statehouse, believing that
General Shafter was to holo his reception
there, and it was not until quite late that
the mistake was discovered and rectified
by having some one stand at the door of
the Capitol to notify the people as they
came. For this reason many who were
anxious to meet General Shafter went
home disappointed, thinking that no re-
ception was to be held. The general was
very tired from the days exertions and it
was as much as he could do to stand
through the hours of the reception.
During one of the interims in which the
general had chance to sit down, he was
asked by a Journal reporter what he
thought of the tribute paid to General
Lawton's memory by the people of Indiana.
He replied: Like Mrs. Lawton, / cannot
begin to express what l feel. She and /
were talking about 1t this afternoon, and
she said to me that ii would have been lit
tie less than crime for us to have re-
fused to allow General Lawtons body to
lie in state in this city, and, after to-day,
you may say that l quite agree with her.
Never have seen people who so univer-
sally loved man as the people of Indiana
loved General Lawton. Mrs. Lawton told
me to-day that General Lawton'S heart
was wrapped up in the citizens of Indiana,
and even in the Philippines Mrs. Lawton
said the first thing she did was to hunt
on. of the generals correspondence the let
tiers postmarked from Indiana, for they
were the ones he best liked to receive.
When we first arrived here. / suggested to
Mrs. Lawton that we make some arrange
ments to prevent any intrusion on her
privacy, and she replied: General Shafter.
the people of Indiana could not intrude on
me II they tried; let them come to me, they
are my people and ray husbands people,
an / love them ALL
Considering her long journey and her
terrible grief, l thinl Mrs. Lawton has
borne up wonderfully we'll" In speaking
of the disappointment expressed by many
at not seeing General Lawton, he said: Il
am very sorry that the people of Indiana
were denied last look at their dead hero,
but Ii would have been impossible to have
opened the casket. General Lawton has
been dead nearly two months and the
casket has not been opened since it left
the Philippines

HEARD AT THE HOTELS.
e. e. Stoner Talks Of Fire Insurance
Rates-CorridOr Gossip.

E. E. Stoner, of Greenfield, while at the
Denison last night made the statement
that the old-line fire insurance companies
were displaying a tendency to regulate the
premiums on risks in better manner than
heretofore. and that this was responsible
for the cry that rates were being in
creased. 81 can prove" said he, that
rates are lower on good farm properties
now than at any time, but / will admit
that rates have been advanced to almost
prohibitive figures on old wooden buildings
built close together. No good company
wants that sort of business. The state
ment of the profits made by fire insurance
companies in this State as quoted from the
speech of Governor Mount is wrong in that
1t simply takes the gross premiums and
subtracts the amount of money paid out in
losses in the State and calls the balance
profits. His statement does not take into
account any expense either at the home
office for adjusters, agents or anything
else and is therefore misleading. Just in
the proportion that people build modern
safe houses the companies reduce the fire
rates"

nization of a branch of the national labor
organization. ID. +. Kennedy, an organizer

called the meeting TO order, and after a
long talk upon the advantages of such an
organization asked for signers. Four men
quickly responded. Then came lull. Ken
nedy again got up. and from that on his ex-
hortations resembled very much that of a
country revivalist. Finally one man in the
rear of the room got up and walked to the
table. His attitude was that which one
might expect from a man called upon to
sign his death warrant Another, apparent
iy as reluctant, came forward and wrote
his name on the paper Finally colored
man got up and asked few questions.
This put a little more life into the meeting,
and three more signatures resulted. The
total was nine. Kennedy then announced
that the meeting had been very successful
and that a meeting would be held next
Tuesday night for the purpose of perma-
nent organization He said the number OF

AND CONSTANTLY INTERRUPTED
THE COURT AND COUNSEL.
She Explains Her Nofsiness by Saying
She Was I'm the Habit Of Yell
ing at Two Bulldogs.

The partial trial in Police Court yesterday
of Mrs. Perry and Mrs. Jarvis for assault
and battery was an occasion calling for
the exercise Of self-control On the part of
Judge, counsel and spectators. On the part
OF the Judge and counsel because of the
actions and annoyance caused by women
irresponsible on account of liquor; on the
part OF the spectators to restrain almost
irrepressible laughter.
Because OF the large number Of cases for
trial Mrs Perry, who was under the in
fiuence Of liquor when arrested, was al
lowed to go home in the morning but was
to return in the afternoon for trial. When
she did return she was again much under
the influence and several times the judge
threatened to fine her for contempt of
court When witnesses were on the stand
she would arise and declare they were tell
ing falsehoods and frequently made re-
marks such as 1.-THE Lord help him for tell
Ing such things" She interrupted Judge
and counsel and finally was, by the prose-
cutor. told to keep your Internal mouth
shut Just for one minute"
On account of absence Of witnesses the
case was continued and the women allowed
child with her. but her husband would not
allow her to take II home. she being in no
condition to care for 1t. The child. there
fore. was left in charge OF the police ma
tron, who. being unable to suppress the
little ones cries. called upon City Clerk
Geckler for assistance He was not very
successful and finally returned to his reg
ular duties after realizing he could do but
little TO satisfy the child's longing. Milk
was procured and the child was quieted.
Mrs Perry made an attempt to explain
70 Judge DAILY that the reason that she
talked so loud was because she was I'm the
habit o. yelling at two bulldogs, which
she had at home. In order to confirm this
she turned 10 the bicycle police and said,
Haven't got two bulldogs at home and
don't / yell at them?''
fact that Mrs. Perry accused Mrs. Jarvis
of trying TO get the Board OF Children $
Guardians TO take her child away on ac-
count OF the alleged neglect because OF too
free indulgence In intoxicants.
