REPORTFAVORABLY
HOUSE COMMITTEE CONSIDERS PRI-
MARY ELECTION BILL.
Some Opposition from the Democratic
Members--SOme Amendments
Suggested.

The House committee on elections met
yesterday afternoon and considered the pri-
mary election bill among other things
There were six of the nine members of the
committee present when this bill was being
considered. Those present were Chairman
Minturn and Messrs. Galley, Gerber, ADAM
son. Neal and Allen. Galley and Gerber
are Democrats. Chairman Minturn said
yesterday evening that the committee had
decided to report favorably on the bill He
said the three absent members had not yet
signed the report, but he supposed they
would. Representatives Cotner and LAIR
two of the members who were absent AMI
both Of whom are Democrats, said last
night that they would not consent to re-
port favorably on the bill until they have
considered it further. 1t is possible that a
minority report may be brought in against
the bill.
The six members present did not agree at
the outset on all the details of the bill, but
those who criticised it did not insist on
having their way. Two of the committee
wanted to change the bill so that 1t would
apply to counties of 20, 900 or over Another
member wanted the bill to require each
voter to show receipt for his poll-tax be-
fore being allowed to cast his vote at a
primary election.
The committe considered bill providing
for a commission whose duty will be to in
vestigate the different voting machines and
recommend satisfactory one for use. The
bill was not deemed to be in the proper
shape and was referred to the chairman of
the committee. The committee also dis
cussed bill providing punishment for buy
ing and selling votes The committee is not
yet ready to report on this measure. The
question is whether not convictions can
be had when both the buyer and seller are
accused. The committee wants to find some
method by which at least one of the guilty
parties can be convicted.
When the committee adjourned ii was
with the understanding that the Clinton
county election contest would be taken up
tomorrow afternoon.

She Says Father Chartrand Performed

A dispatch received last night from
Shelbyville said:
1.-The Journals article on the marriage
of Howard Curtis Benham and Miss Agnes

naccuracies. She is the daughter Of Col

was left forty acres of land. the most of
which was used in securing her education
at the Catholic school in Oldenburg,
Franklin county. Here she graduated with
high honors and for the past few months
has been employed in Indianapolis.

city at the home of her sister, Mrs. VIII

denial. refusing absolutely to see the
newsman. This afternoon, after repeated
urging, she stated that she knew perfectly
well what she was doing and had in
vestigated her husbands relations before
she consented to marry him. The charge
that one minister in Indianapolis had re-

MR.CHURCHILL'S
THE YOUNG CORRESPONDENT
HEARD AT ENGLISH'S.
Although Laboring Under Some Dis
advantages He Made n Favora-
BILE Impression.

Winston Spencer Churchill delivered his
can war last night at English's Opera
House. Mr.. Churchill has the peculiar En-
glish accent and is also afflicted with a
slight impediment in his speech which at
first made it difficult to follow his remarks.
But as one becomes used to these minor
peculiarities he is forcibly impressed with
the charming presence of the man. His
remarks were delivered in an easy,
straightforward manner and sparlSled with
a dry humor, and at times he arose to
points of real eloquence.
The account OF his escape from Pretoria
is familiar and was assisted by a series
of stereopticon views taken during his cap
tivity. He said that the modern war artist
has hard time to depict battle because
there is no smoke. but" he said, 1.-The
average war artist is conscienceless NOR
tai and he puts in the smoke anyway"
The incidents of the escape were graphic
ally described and high tribute was paid
to the fighting quality of the Beers, 1.-The
best fighting animal in the world" as he
called them. He professed to have great
admiration for President Steyn than for
President Kruger, and gave reasons to
show that Steyn has greater qualities Of
self-denial. sincerity and fortitude than has
Kruger. He pointed out the fact that
whereas Kruger gave up the fight and
made his escape to Europe, Steyn has re-
manned through the darkest period of the
struggle and is still fighting for the cause.
He also alluded to the fact that while
Kruger has amassed great riches, his con-
temporary is as poor now as when he be-
gan, although he has had equal opportuni-
ties and ability to profit by them. Speak
ing of the British South African transport
service the speaker said: I'VE were rather
proud of our transport service, but when
1t was put to the supreme test OF war mafIy
serious and unforeseen faults were discov-
cred. Yes, we found faults in our trans
port service just the same as other people
have found faults with theirs" This sly
allusion to the United States recent Span
ish war experience was accompanied by a
twinkle of the eye that brought forth a
burst of laughter from the audience. In
speaking Of that experience Mr.. Churchill
said that in his subsequent travels over
the world he has met many men who par
ticipated. every one of whom claimed to
have been in the charge UP San Juan HILL
mo wonder the charge succeeded" the
speaker added there were a whole lot
of men In it,"
a general summary of the present status
OF the Boer cause and paid an eloquent
tribute to their character as men.

PASSING OF FORGED CHECKS.
The Arrest of George Green by the
Police.

The passing of forged checks was the
charge placed against George Green, of 724
West Vermont street. yesterday by STREET.
and Trimpe. the bicycle police, who ar
rested him.
While looking for further evidence In
the case against Joseph Kelly charged
with passing raised" 81 bills, they went
to the market of Charles Zollner. 554 West
Washington street, who had taken in one
OF the bills. Zollner mentioned that he had
about Nov. II cashed worthless check,
and upon being asked to show it he found
it. 1t was one purporting to be signed by
George Merritt & Co., payable to James
Murphy, for SIS In the lower left-hand
corner was 20. K" He said he knew the
man who passed the check. and who re-
ceived for it some meat and s13 in money.
The result was that the officers found
Green and took him before Zollner who
claimed to have known him for fifteen
years, and was by him identified. Zollner
said he had seen Green several times on
the street and once gave chase, but was
unable to catch him. Green claimed ne
knew nothing about the check. though he
would not deny that he passed it.
Zollner did not report the matter at the
time, but Frank III. Prunk. at SD Indiana
avenue, cashed a similar check. date, hand
writing, names and even the 90 K" in
the corner being the same, for some one
and at once notified the police. He was
unable yesterday to identify Green as the
one who gave him the check.

for $3.50 which was written in about the
same handwriting, but on a different blank
and was signed by man named Evans.
