The bar association is ~-i't'oning for
the immediate appointment of judge

of the First Circuit Court to cope with

The Roman Catholic Church has been
most indefatgable in it's work for the
unfortunates at the Molokai Settle

have sent forward self-devoted people
who have labored assiduously amid
most depressing surroundings. The Rev.
Father Juliotto is the latest who has
devoted himself to this trying but noble
duty.

GOVERNOR DURBIN REFERS 1T TO
ATTORNEY GENERAL TAYLOR.
He Wants to BE Informed as to Its Lee
gal Status-PersOns Who May
Witness ~xecutiO

A letter from Mrs. j. ID. Keith. wife OF
the condemned murderer in the State Pris-
on awaiting execution next Friday. was
received by Governor Durbin yesterday.
asking for executive clemency in behalf Of
her husband. The Governor referred the
letter to Attorney General Taylor for an
opinion as TO whether it should be ac-
cepted as a formal presentation Of Keith's
application for a communication Of his SEN
tence 10 life Imprisonment.
The Governor is Of opinion that the letter
from Keith's wife should not be so treated.
but that the formal application for elem
ency ought to be made by the condemned
mans attorneys. II is understood that a
petition for executive clemency. got up in
regular form. is being circulated in the
neighborhood Of the Keith home in War
rick county. and that it will be laid before
the Governor in a few days by Frank B..
Posey and Dewitt Q. ChappeI. of Evans
vile. attorneys for Keith. The petition is
said TO contain 1900 signers at this time.
The Governor has been advised of the re-
port that the transcript in Keith's appeal
in the Supreme Court was carelessIy pre-
pared. but declines to give any hint as to
the probable effect of this fact upon his de-
cision as 10 granting a Communication of the
sentence.
James ID. Reed. the new warden Of the
State Prison, called on the attorney gem
eral yesterday and asked that official for an
opinion as To who may be permitted 10 wit
ness the execution of Keith next Friday
After examining the statute on the subject
MI Taylor Informed Mr.. Reed that the
execution can be witnessed by none except
the following. The warden and such per
sons as may be necessary TO assist him In
conducting the execution, the directors OF
the prison. two physicians, including the
prison physician, the spiritual advisers of
the condemned. the chaplain OF the prison
and any Of the relations or friends of the
condemned person. not exceeding ten in
number, who he may request, shall be adj
United. The statute seems to exclude news
paper representatives from attending ex-
ecutiOns. Mr.. Reed did not state whether
he would decline 10 admit representatives
Of papers 10 the Keith execution or not.

BOY MURDERER'S FUTURE
SENTENCE TO LIFE IMPRISONMENT
MAY BE COMMITTED.
The Criminal Is Only Thirteen Years
Old, and Governor Durbin
Is Interested.

What to do with a thirteen-year-old boy
who is in the State Prison at Michigan
City on a life sentence for numbering a
playmate is a question that is bothering
Governor Durbin greatly just now. The
boy is Smith Jones and the crime was COM
mitted in Boonville. Warrick county, sew
eral months ago. On account of his ex-
IRENE youth and small size the prison off,
Gals are in a quandary as to how TO handle
the prisoner.
Jones is an interesting character. AL
though he has committed a murder at thir-
teen and can neither read nor write he is
not believed to be a degenerate. Governor
Durbin is, however, investigating the lads
family history and antecedents with a view
to ascertaining whether he is so hopelessly
depraved as to render il inadvisable to
commute his life sentence in prison to con-
fnement in the Reformatory for Boys in
Plainfeld until he reaches the age of TWEEN
ty-one.
When the Governor visited the State
Prison last Friday he had a talk with
young Jones, as a result of which he was
inclined TO conclude thai there is hope for
him il he is handled properly. Jones said
that he and the lad he killed went out one
Sunday to get some apples and on the trip
his companion, who was of a quarrelsome
disposition. grew angry at Jones and struck
him, following this up with hurting at him

a Recent Cut of 3 3 PEI Cent. Made by
the American Company Cause
of the Action.
ANOTHER REDUCTION FEARED
ORGANIZATION WILL BE COMPLETED
AT COLUMBUS, o., NEXT WEEK.
A Large Attendance of Independent
Representatives at the Meet
ing i'm This City.

A meeting of independent window glass
manufacturer was held at the Grand Hotel
yesterday for the purpose of trying to eff
feet a combination of the manufacturer
outside the two glass trusts and the CO.
operative federation. The combination was
not completed. but a meeting was arranged
to be held in Columbus, o., next week for
that purpose.
The call for yesterdays meeting was pre-
cipitated by the recent cut of % per cent.
in the price of glass made by the American
Company. which is the big trust. The in
dependents have, ii is understood, been cut
ting prices among themselves. and the trust
made the big cut in order to drive them out
Of business. The prospect is that further
reductions in the price of glass will be
made, so that eventually, If something is
not done by the Independents, all profit
will be taken from the product.
The principal object of the meeting was
given out as being to form a fourth COM
bination of glass interests with a central
selling agency to take care of the output of
the independent factories, but there was a
welI-dehned report that the independents
and the co-operatives will in all probability
enter into an offensive and defensive ali-
ance against the two trusts. If this is
done ii will not take place before next
weeks meeting at Columbus. O.
There was a large attendance at yester-
days meeting, the factories represented
about One-sixth of the output of window
glass Of the country. Among those pres
ent were R.. r. Faulkner, of the Wilkinson
Cooperative Window Glass Company, Will
kinsOn, Ind; George Headley, Headley
Gil IS Company, Paramount. Ind; T. Hal
leCk Johnson, of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Company, Indianapolis, and the Smalley
Brothers, representing the Enterprise Win
dow Glass Company. of Sandusky. o.; Bak-
er Brothers, of Shirley, Ind; Crystal Win
dow Glass Company. Summittville Ind.
W. r. Jones, representing the Jones Glass
Company, of Morgantown, w. Va. and
W. l.. Lindlard, of the Diamond Window
Glass Company. Gas City, Ind, a Corpora
tive establishment.
A man who is conversant with the glass
situation said last night that the large win
dow glass trust. the American, is con-
temPlating another goOd-siZed cut in prices
in the near future unless the outside con-
] Germs stop cutting prices on their own
| account. Therefore, he said. it is Of para
mount Importance that a community of in
terests among the Independents be effected
as quickly as possible.

ton providing for civil government in the
Philippine islands. an ocean cable to the
Hawaiian and Philippine islands and some
canal. The committee on interstate and
foreign has the question of a
Philippine cable in charge. Mr.. Crumpacker
says a majority of the mmitt is in
favor of substituting a private corporation
TO build and control the cable, while a mi
nOrity of the committee thinks the govern
ment should build and control ii.
Mr.. ~Crumpacker thinks also that there
will be some agitation of the question of

The Boiler Head Blew out.

An explosion yesterday morning at the
Carver Ice Company plant. at Ohio street
and the canal. caused a great deal of ex-
element and some damage TO the building.
The head OF a boiler was blown out with
such force that the wall OF the building
was forced outward several inches. No
personal injuries resulted. for the probable
reason that no one was near the boiler at
the time. The escaping steam prevented
employees from getting into the boiler room
for some time, after they had made a
hasty escape The varnish OF the ceiling
was burned of BY the steam. The engine
was damaged 70 the extent or several hun

SITE NOT SELECTED.
Congregation of Plymouth Church Is
still in Doubt.

The Plymouth Church congregation met
last night in the chapel OF the Hebrew
Temple. where services are temporarily be-
ing held. TO consider the question Of a site
for the new church building. The commit
tee on sites had nothing new to report, and
the discussion was limited to the lots sug-
gested at previous meetings as suitable
places upon which to build. Some sug-
g~estions as to other locations were made.
but nothing was done.
The sites which seem 10 be most satisfac-
tory TO the majority of the members are
one known as the Cornelius lot. at Me
ridian and Walnut streets. and the Porter
lot. on Michigan street between Delaware
and Alabama streets. No agreement could
be reached last night for the reason that
some member thought "A new site might
be found shortly which would be more ad-
vantageous 10 the church than those under
consideration. and adjournment was taken.

day night at the home OF the pastor, Rev.
