A special from Alabama state that
President Roosevelt's entertainment of
Booker T. Washington at dinner will
prove a boomerang, as it will change
$4,000 votes from the Republican to
the Democratic ticket in that state.
This is news" The changing of votes
from the Republican to the Democratic
column in Alabama, as well as in other
Southern States, is done in the counting
and not in the casting of ballots. All
of the Republican ballots could as
easily be changed as one ballot, and
that kind of changing has been going
on for about thirty years. AS the Re-
publicans are not allowed technically
to elect anybody in Alabama, no mat
ter how many votes they cast, the
boomerang" is a little obscure.-Phil-

A striking popularity about the plants is
that they can grow only on certain kinds

WILL URGE REMEDIES
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AND THE
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. LAW.
1t Is Said He VIII Make Radical
Recommendations i'm His Mes
sage to Congress.

CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-The Record-Herald
tomorrow will say: I'm his message to
Congress President Roosevelt will incor-
| porate certain radical Communications re-
garding the Interstate-commerce Commits
sion. and will probably urge the passage
of remedial legislation which win place the
commission in a position to become a power
for good in the traffic world.
Concerning the matter Chairman
Knapp, of the commission, said: Il am re-
liably informed that the President will
treat of the commission in his message and
will make some recommendations to Con-
gress as to legislation that is necessary TO
enable the commission to accomplish what
the law creating it intended that it should
accomplish. There has been no official
communication between the President and
the commission, and 1 don't want to be I'M
derstood as going any farther in my state
ment than to say that 1 have been told by
reliable authorities that such was the Pres
ident's purpose. 1 know that he is very
much interested in the subject, and 1 be-
lieve that he is in favor of giving the COM
mission more power than it now possesses
1.-THE essential facts secured by the in
vestigation which closed to-day are that
railroads East and West cut export rates
constantly, and don't publish their export
rates; that a condition exists in the Central
Freight Association which morally proves
that the roads east-bound from Chicago
are pooling on grain and grain products;
that the cut rates in Exports are due largely
TO the competition of water routes, which
are not under the supervision Of a commits
sion; that the bulk of grain for domestic
use moves as export grain, thereby being
granted a cut rate; that a substantial dis
crepancy exists between the rates on grain
and -four. and that hay is a classification
niger than kindred products"

N AT NEW YORK.
He Sees Politicians and Discusses the
Mckinley Memorial.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Senator Hanna
reached this city to-day. A number of Re-
publican leaders called on him at his hotel,
but the senator said there was nothing
about his meeting with them that partook
of the nature of a conference. Among
these leaders were Joseph III. Manly Of
Maine. Henry c. Clews of Wisconsin. r. c..
kerens of Missouri, Senator Stephen b.
Elkins of West Virginia and Myron L.
Herrick of Cleveland.
In an interview which will appear in the
World tomorrow Senator Hanna is quoted
as saying in reference to the memorial TO
President Mckinley to be erected at Cam
ton: I'VE do not contemplate any great
historic memorial as do some of the pro-
motors of the memorial scheme in Wash
ington. We believe that if there is to be a
great historic memorial at Washington 1t
should have been thought of years ago to
honor the memory of Lincoln and other
great men. Our plan is to have a simple
memorial that will show the affection OF
the people for President Mckinley. We be-
lieve that the people will respond to this
sentiment"
The senator refused to tell what was said
at the private interview between President
Roosevelt and himselfNat Washington, but
he dilated on the high character of Mr..
Roosevelt and expressed the greatest conf
dence in him.

GOT NO BOOTY.
Burglars Made a Futile and Daring
Attack on CampbeIIsburg Bank.

Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
SALEM, Ind. Nov. 9.-Three burglars at
tempted to rob the Bank of Campbellsburg
this morning at 2 a. m. A charge of dyna-
mite wrecked the large safe door through
the glass front of the building, wrecking
the front and the room. w. ]. Purchaser
and Levi S. Cifres. of Salem. were stop
ping at the Central Hotel across the street,
and, hearing the explosion, dressed and
went down on the street and began firing
into the bank.
The burglars kept at work and another
explosion followed before the men made it
so hot for them that they retreated through
the rear door and escaped, running north
on the Monon Railroad. They were seen
by others and described as one tall man
and two short, stout men. The burglars
failed TO open the vault door and did not
secure any of the $4,000 it contained. In
fact. S1.20 in change on the desk near by
was left untouched, and so hasty was their
retreat that all tools were left. The
wrenches and heavy tools had been secured
from a blacksmith shop near by.
The bank and building are owned by
Max Abrams and the damage is estimated
by him at s.. 500. He has insurance of 5000.
The safe was a new one of the latest de-
sign, but Is ruined, and the owner must
drill into it before the money can be
reached, as a part of the lock is blown off.
