Convention Date CHANGED.

The dates for the republican state
convention will be changed, as it was
found that the Department Encamp-
ment of the G.. A. II. will be held In In
dianapOlis May 16 and II, and Tomlin-
son Hall was engaged for that meeting
over a month ago. There is no other
hall in the city in which the convention
could be held Over one thousand dele
gate badges will be sent out for the en-
campment. Chairman Hernly and Com
mitteemen Healing and McNutt talked
it over, and it was decided that the con
ventiOn will be held on other dates, and
it will probably be deferred one week
and held on May % and a. 1t was
thought that to set the convention for
May 9 and 10 would fix it too near the
date on which many towns of the state
hold town elections. The only objec-
ton to May % and "a is that the call
for selection of delegates TO the Nation
al Convention specifies that delegates
at-large shall be selected at least 30
days before the convention, and this
could not be done in Indiana. AS there
is no contest for the nomination for
president, it is not believed this point
will be raised against the delegates at
large from Indiana, aud the convention
will probably be held May % and "a.

At the reorganization of the republi-
cam state committee Tuesday after
noon at Indianapolis, the following Off
GERS were elected:
Chsirman-Ch ;. Hernly, New
castle.
Vice Chairmsn-Jos oseph B. Healing,
Indianapolis.
Secretary Warren Bigler, Wabash.
Treasurer-H. W. Bennett, Indian
apolis.
An effort was made outside the COM
mittee 10 make number OF changes,
but they failed. Some of the candi-
dates for secretary who knew that Mr..
Hernly favored the appointment of
Warren Bigler, of Wabash, for the
place, started light on Chairman
Hernly. 1t was well known that nearly
every candidate for governor had a can
didate for the secretaryship, the object
being to have some one in the commit
tee that would be of assistance to the
particular candidate. There was no
fight in the committee itself against
Mr.. Hernly, though two or three of the
members had to listen 20 the demands
of the crowd that the candidates for
secretary sent after them.
The republican state committee fixed
May l6 and II for the dates for the re-
publican state convention.
The political sensation of the meet
ing was the reported coming announce
ment of Congressman Lands, of the
Ninth district, and Congressman Wat
son, of the Sixth district, as candidates
for the nomination for governor.
Friends of both gentlemen say the an
nouncement will be made later.

vention: ''The city of South Bend,

offered the state committee 81 900 if il
will hold the democratic state conven-
tion in that city. The democrats of
Evansville are moving to raise the bid
of South Bend, and perhaps they will
be heard from. The point that intesests

that Indianapolis must pay for the con

MINoRIrH ASKS FOR INJUNCTION

Stockholders of Panhandle File "A suit.
Cincinnati, Jan. 2-Charles Barrett,
of Somerville, Mass, in a representa-
tive suit on behalf of holders of the
minority stock Of the PlttsbuTg, Cincin-
natl and st. Louis Railway company
Panhandle, filed a petition today in the
United States circuit court at this city,
asking the court to eDjOin the Panhan-
die directors from paying for certain
improvements which they have been re-
Gently making on different parts of the
system, from moneys realized as net
earnings, claiming that a contract was
entered into in the articles of consolida-
tion which required the company to use
certain bonds and preferred stock for
such Improvements, they beinging of a
permanent character, and to pay out the
net earnings to the stockholders.
This suit appears to be different from
the usual claims of minority holders
because it is insisted, in this case, that
the question of distribution of net earn
ings to the amount substantially of ]
per cent. is not left to the discretion of
the directors, but they are under ex.
press obligations, under the consolids
tiOn agreement, to distribute net earn
ings to that amount among the stock
holders, instead of applying them to
permanent improvements.
The case is one of unusual import
ance both for this reason and the fur
ther one that if the claim is sustained
the Pennsylvania Railroad company, as
| the alleged holder or controller of ma
jOrity of the stock of the T., {. c. and
st. l.. Railroad company, will be com
PEELED to submit to the issue on the part
of the latter company of securities for
all improvements hereafter of per
manent character, and meanwhile pay
out net earnings to the amount men
toned to the stockholders. IL is easy
to discern the serious character of such
suit, and the decision will be looked
for with far more than ordinary inter
est. Louisville Courier Journal.
