BUT A GUARDIAN Is APPOINTED FOR
HER AND HER DAUGHTER.
She Owns Some Property, and Has
Been an Inmate OF the Insane Asy-
lum-Her Daughter Under Age.

Bernard vonnegut was yesterday APP
pointed guardian of Anna and Frances
Setzes and gave a bond of $3.50 for the
faithful administration of his trust Anna
and Frances Setzes are mother and daugh-
ter. The daughter is fifteen and the
mother is between forty-five and fifty. The
mother is supposed to be person of un-
sound mind, and it was on this account
that a guardian was appointed for her.
The daughter is a bright young girl. Not
being of age, IL was necessary to appoint
guardian for her when her mother became
mentally helpless.
Mrs. Setzes has been In the insane asy-
lum once and a short time ago steps were
taken toward having her recommitted. She
was present in court yesterday morning
when the probate commissioner conducted
an investigation to discover whether or not
she required guardian. The woman has
property worth between $500 and 5000.
There is mortgage on this property. and
Mrs. Setzes, before she lost her mind. paid
Oh part Of the incumbrance. One day. in
fit of anger, she destroyed some documents
and it is believed she destroyed the receipts
that were given her when she paid or part
OF her Indebtedness. At least the receipts
cannot be found. 1t is said that a man
who learned that these receipts were de-
stroyed informed her that she would have
to pay the money again. 1t is claimed that
this weighed so heavily on her mind that
she became demented. Mrs. Setzes de-
clines to take medicine. although 1t Is said
she consults her physician When she gets
medicine she takes 1t home and throws 1t
away.
The woman is well educated and speaks
English, French, German and Italian flu
emily. She came to this country from
France as a tutor several years ago. Yes
terday morning. while the probate commits
sioner was investigating her sanity, she
gave an exhibition Of her ability as lin
guist. When the commissioner would ask
her a question she would reply In French,
German, Italian and English, using all
these languages in one sentence perhaps. 1t
was with considerable difficulty that the
commissioner gathered anything from the
woman's own statements.

Grand Chancellor ]. E. Mcdonald, of the
Indiana knights of Pythias. while at the
Grand Hotel last night said there was
disposition among the members of the
Grand Lodge to take the headquarters
away from Indianapolis and make it, to-
gether with the state meetings. a migratory
affair He said the attitude of several of
the Indianapolis newspapers in misrepre-
senting conditions and affairs in the order
had disguised the grand officers with this
city as headquarters, and that this senti-
ment was fostered by the lodges in the
various districts, nearly all OF which, at
their recent district meetings, passed reso-
lutions in favor of sending the state meet
ings, along with the headquarters, to the
various cities of the State in rotation, so
that all might have a chance to entertain
the Grand Lodge at some time. Whether
any action will be taken in the near future
Mr.. Mcdonald would not say, but he said
the order had been abused by the papers of
indianapolis, with the single exception of
the Journal, and that the present feeling
might lead to such move at any time.

NO BALLS NOR THEATERS
AN EFFORT TO AMEND THE EP-
WORTH LEAGUE CONSTITUTION.
Vice President Hon Says There Are
Too Many HypOcrites in the League
"A BoOtless Discussion.

The meeting of the officers of the various
Epworth League societies of this city, held
at the Roberts Park Church last night.
came to nothing in so far as the actual
transaction of business was concerned.
The object of the meeting was two-fold-
to receive the report Of the committee APP
pointed to revise the constitution of the
Epworth League, and TO make some def
mite arrangements about inviting the state
convention of Epworth Leaguers to this
city next July, with the end in view of
winding up the meeting with big Fourth
of July celebration.
After a season of song and prayer, the
president called upon the chairman Of the
committee on constitution to read the re-
port of the revision, as prepared by the
committee.
When the report had been read, the pres
ident called for remarks, whereupon Vice
President Hoff, of the second division of
fered an amendment so that the constitu-
ton would prevent any member Of the
league who attended theaters, balls and
like amusements, from being eligible to
hold office fr the league. Another member
present arose at this juncture and said he
thought it would be casting a reflection on
the Christian spirit of the league to insert
such an amendment. Mr.. Hoff then made
the statement that he thought it was nee
essary, as it would prevent the hypocrites
from holding office. Said he: 81 tell you the
time has come when we have got to pro-
tect ourselves from the hypocrites. They
are always trying to force their way to
the front, and II is time we did something
to weed them out / want to make the
statement right here that fully 80 per cent.
of the officers Of the Epworth League of
this city are hypocrites, and If we don't
watch out the devil will get us sure. You
know and nnow thai unless our officers
are fmbued with the spirit of Christ they
are not going to do much good, and the
sooner We get rid of the hypocrites the bet
ter II is going to be for u.s."
Mr.. Hoff was followed by other members,
who expressed themselves pro and con on
the amendment, but without arriving at
any definite conclusion in the matter. FL
nally, after an hours bootless discussion
some one present stated that the whole
proceedings Of the evening were out of
order because there was not a quorum
present, the constitution providing that
fifty members should constitute a quorum
and there being but twenty-seven mem
bers present. When those present had fully
grasped the situation, a motion to adjourn
was made and after some further discus
sion was carried, leaving the state con-
vention and Fourth of July celebration in
status quo.

Representatives OF the Pennsylvania
Railroad and the Greenwood electric line
met in the Office of State Auditor Hart yes
terday for the purpose of discussing the In
teriocking switch, about which the two
companies have been unable to agree. IN
der the law OF 1897 electric companies
crossing railroad tracks must establish in
teriocking switches at their own expense,
and the Pennsylvania Railroad Is insisting
that this iay shall be observed by the
Greenwood company. The electric COM
pany insists that IL had a contract with
the railroad company prior to the enact
ment of the law OF 1897 whereby It was
agreed that ID switch was TO be put I'm,
which the electric railway representatives
say would be just as effective, as II would
require the conductor of the electric car TO
run ahead and open the switch before the
car could cross the tracks. Auditor Hart
took the question under advisement and
will render decision in the matter some
time later.

F. j. Duntin, a well-known Democratic
politician Of Lagrange, talked of the po-
litical situation in his county while at the
Grand last night. He said the fact that so
many candidates were developing among
the Republicans was good sign for DEM
ocratic victory, and that he wanted to see
some more announce themselves because,
with a large number. discord and soreness
is almost certain to make itself noticeable
in the Republican organization, and when
one side fights within itself the other side
is pretty sure to turn the weapons of the
factions against each other. He said he
could not tell who would be nominated by
either party for senator from Steuben and
Lagrange counties, but that, judging from
the fact that the last apportionment had
made the joint district overwhelmingly Re-
publican, there was likely to be no use for
the nomination among the Democrats.
