QUEER MURDER CASE.
Four Russian Miners VIII BE Put on
Trial 1t Terre Uaute To-Day.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Feb. 24.-Four
Russian coal miners will be put on trial to-
morrow for the murder of two fellow Rus
slams last election day. None of the ac-
cused or eye-witnesses can speak or un-
derstand the English language. What lit
tie information has been obtained from
them through an interpreter indicates that
they have no conception of the proceed
ings in court of justice and that they do
not comprehend in the least the election of
President of the United States when
it was sought to have them cast votes last
November. There are about sixteen of
these Russians at the mine at Ehrman-
dale and, while there are Poles and Hun
garians and some Russians in the mines in
this part of the State, this little community
has been of itself and apart, both in habits
and language. Other Russians cannot I'M
derstand them when they speak their ma
tive language. They are blondes, cleanly,
hard working, and the storekeeper says
the most honest customers he has at the
mine.
On election day a local party rallier
named Holbert persuaded Anton kataugh
and Stanley Marshall "a name assumed
after coming to this country to go with
him to the house of Enoch Gomolinsk TO
persuade him and his three boarders, joe
Jeemes, Antony Ganoske and Michael
Grippe, to go to the polls. Holbert says he
left before fighting began. The two Rus
slams who went to Gomolinski's house were
killed, 1t is said, with mining pick and
singletree, with which they were armed
when they called to induce their country
men to go to the polls. Ganoske was the
only one of the four accused men who was
injured. and his injuries yet cause him
much pain. Marshall picked him up bodily
and seated him in big pot of boiling
sauerkraut, holding him there until one of
the other men came to his rescue.

tests with the Senate. Some of these strug-
giles probably will be exceedingly fierce, but
when it comes down to actual work, the
House. although large and unwieldy body
ordinarily, can dispose of business under its
rules with much greater celebrity than the
Senate. The last six days of the session
are suspension days, and ii is always pos
sible to bring the House to a vote on any
proposition under a motion to suspend the
rules. which provide for only twenty min
utes debate upon a side
The time has practically gone by for the
passage of new bills although an attempt
doubtless will be made to secure action on
the bills to promote the efficiency of the
revenue cutter service and to create a
standardizng bureau. Beyond these and a
few small bills of local Importance, no eff
fort will be made to put through any new
measure. The leaders know that it would
be a waste of time to send any further gen.
eral legislation to the Senate at this stage
of the session, and their efforts will be
directed to clearing up matters in dispute
between the two houses.
1t probably will be necessary to hold
night sessions during the latter part of the
week and both houses will sit next Sunday
to continue the legislative day of Saturday,
which expires at noon on March 4.
