POLICY RUNNERS STRIKE
THEY REFUSE To WORK FOR THE
KIssELL COMMISSION.
An Attempt to Reduce the EmoIu-
ments Brings About n Serious
Labor Difficulty.

After a brief respite during which
king" Kissel succeeded in driving his OPP
ponents from the field he has again re-
sumed his game of policy, this time evil
IDENTIFY with renewed vigor. At the open
ing of business Monday morning fifty
white and cOlored men were allotted ter
ritory in which TO canvass. Before start
Ing out on their work the runners were
given to understand that they were only
TO receive 70 cents on the dollar on all
plays taken in. This did not please the
runners. for they had become accustomed
to receiving % cents on the dollar, and each
man was supplied with a perforated book
by which a carbonized copy of all plays
were made and a record kept to prevent
the raising of numbers after a drawing.
Since no other company is near to offer
the king opposition he carries matters
with a high hand. it is said, with his run
ners. only allowing them 20 per cent. COM
mission without the other perquisites.
This manner of treatment began TO dis
play itself early in the carriers counte-
ranceS and at Monday evenings drawing
several consultations were had to devise
some means of getting back TO the con-
ditions in operation prior to the last
close down.
The mems plans began to realize when
1CStcIOdy 0NcIllS dDOul . - ClOCh ID tutS
were ready TO turn their money in TO the
manager the leader Of the crowd held out
for the accustomed p cents. This action was
strenuously objected to by the manager,
but to no avail, as each mar in turn did
the same as the leader. When an ex-
PLANTATION of their conduct was asked for
the men said if their money was not ac-
cepted on the terms which they offered
and to which they were accustomed, they
would continue in their work of gathering
money on plays and have an outside man
back the book which is sent here twice a
day.
This independence was a thorn in the
side Of the manager, who WINGED under
its thrust, but he remained firm in the
rules laid down by his employer, Mr.. kis-
sci.
A meeting of the carriers was called
for last night in Joe Gatess saloon, cor
ner Capitol avenue and New York street.
TO devise means by which the policy
king and his crowd could be brought to
terms. Proceedings of the meeting were to
be secret until the noon hour to-day.
when another scene was to be enacted
for the edihcation of the Kissel managers,
IL concessions were not granted.

J. E. LILLY'S SUGGESTION.
He Wants to Harrison in
Front of New Federal Building.

The board of directors and finance COM
mittee of the Commercial Club held a
brief session at noon yesterday. Secretary
Evans Woollen stated that the only mat
ter of public interest that came before the
meeting was James e. Lilly's letter relat-
ing to the proposed memorial to the late
ex-President Harrison. Mr.. Lilly's COM
munication was addressed to Secretary
Woollen, and read as follows:
.sThe recent death of ex-President Harri-
son has suggested to many of our citizens
that indianapolis and the great state or
Indiana should erect a statue IN commence
ration of his great services TO his state
and the Nation.
There are objections to such a statue be-
ing placed In Monument place, when is al
ready crowded. While his record as a sol
der is a matter Of pride TO his State, his
national reputation as a predetermined and
able statesman was made during his ad-
mirable administration as President of the
United States. From the many words OF
praise coming from those who were opposed
TO him politically during his lifetime, 1t Is
shown that he was broader than any DO
litical party. He represents the highest
TYNE of American citizenship.
at would seem that the Commercial
Club of Indianapolis is in position to pro-
mote the erection OF SUCH a statue and plac-
ing il on the grounds in front of the new
custom house and postoffice would tend to
give national recognition to his great serv-
ices.
Il offer these suggestions and would be
pleased to have you call the attention of
the president OF the club TO this matter for
his consideration.
The meeting gave authority to President
John NJ. Spann to appoint a committee OF
five members Of the club to take suitable
action on Mr.. Lilly's letter. Mr.. Spann had
not made up his mind, last night as to
who would constitute this committee. Il
realize the importance of the matter said
Mr.. Spann 10 the Journal, "anG do not feel
like naming the committee at once. l want
time for careful reflection"

GEN. TERRELL'S WIDOW
SHE Is LIVING IN THIS CITY IN DIES
TITUTE CIRCUMSTANCES.
The Service of Her Late Husband as
Adjutant Genera During the
War Recalled.

1t was reported to Thomas Post at its
OF Adjutant General Terrell is living in
North indianapolis I'm restitution. She is
seventy years of age, and a daughter past
middle life and unable TO work part of the
time is her sole support. Quartermaster
General b.. A. Richardson was led TO make
some inquiry about her and learned of her
destitute condition.
General Buck Terrell, as he was called,
was one of the right-hand men of Cover
nor Morton during the war. Even if he
had done nothing else the eight volumes
constituting a record of Indiana in the war
should be sufficient to commend his aged
and destitute widow to the patriotic people
OF Indiana.
Thomas Post voted S25 for immediate
relief, and Irwin Robbins, John b. Elan
and b. A. Richardson were appointed a
committee to report a plan to raise money
to assist Mrs. Terrell.
General Terrell, while performing a most
important duty in raising troops. was never
mustered into the United States service,
so that Congress cannot vote MS WIDOW
relief. General Irwin Robbins, in speaking
of the service of General Terrell, said that
because the state officials elected in 1862
would not pay out money for wal purposes
on the order OF Governor Morton several
counties, including Decatur. paid tens of
thousands of dollars to Governor Morton,
who made General Terrell his disbursing
officer. and that, with all the rest OF his
duties. he disbursed these large sums of
money and rendered faithful account for
all received.

THE FRAUD DETECTED.

The refusal of the Legislature Oh
Maryland to apportion the representa-
tiyes upon what they called 1.-The padded
Federal census" was denounced by the
Republicans as a partisan act. 1t turns
out now that the padding" was great
er than charged. OF 200 names return
ed by one census enumerator, $40 were
Improperly returned. Some had been
dead fifteen years. Director Merriam
has had the enumerators arrested and
promises to have a correct census taken.
The padding was made in order to give
extra members to the negro counties
and make it easier for the Republicans
to carry the Legislature. The appor-
tionment on the State census will pre-
vent this fraudulent advantage.
For any and all sorts of frauds, COM
mend us to your Southern Republican.

Died in Butte, Montana, Sunday, March
II, 1901. Major Halcott Pride Jones, aged
about Sc years.
He was the eldest son of DR.. Pride Jones
and his wife. who was sister of Col.
John ID. Cameron the well known editor
and literateur. Educated at the Hills
boro Military Academy, under Col. Tew,
he at an early date entered the army End
ma brave and gallant soldier, serving
most of the time in Eastern North Caro-
lima. For the last two years of the var he
was captain of a battery of artillery
raised in Orange county and was conspicu-
Gus for his gallantry at the battles Of
kinston and BentonSville. After the war
he settled in Mobile, Ala, and engaged
in merchandise. While there, he married
Miss Olive. the daughter of Gen. Echols,
of Alabama. About 1871 he returned to
Hillsboro and engaged in farming and the
manufacture of tobacco. He was very
successful for many years, but misfortune
overlook him, and his business was brok-
en- up. His active spirit could not rest in
idleness, so he became a travelling sales
man meeting with varying success until
about 1892 he went west under contract
with the we'll known firm of BOIL and
Company of San Francisco, and has since
travelled the Pacific slope in their inter
est.
His third son, Rolin, a bright handsome
| fellow named for his uncle Capt Rolin
Jones, who was killed at Brandy Station,
| Joined his father about three years ago,
but lived only short while and died
| during his fathers absence on trip, and
was buried by strangers.
| Mrs. Jones died in 1891, leaving three
sons, Cadwallader and Allen, now living
| in Selma. Ala, and Rolin who died as just
stated. and the beautiful twins Mary
Pride and Margaret Mordecai. who grad
uated atsSt. Mary's only a few years ago
distinguished as much for their high or
| der of intellect as for their beauty OF
| person and grace of manner.
| Mai. Jones was a half brother OF Capt
Pride Jones, of Winston Col. Gillian
Jones and Mrs George G. Thomas, Of Will
mington and Mrs Robt H. Davis, OF
| Louisburg. He was distinguished in APP
pearance, courtly in his manner, generous
and warm hearted in his nature, staunct
! and faithful friend. His body was taken
| to San Francisco and laid by the side Of
Rolin to await the final call to join his
loved ones, we trust in the land where
there shall be no more parting and NJ
more sorrow. A. FRIEND.
