PROHIBITION WANING.
New Hampshire Republicans VIII
Amend the Law.


Concord, n. H., Sept. 17.-FolloWing
the action Of the party in Vermont, the
Republicans of New Hampshire today
warmly debated the question Of max
ing changes in the prOhibitory law.
Those in favor Of a change carried the
day. The contest for governor was
won by n. ]. Batchelder of Andover.
who Is prominently identified with the
patrons of husbandry.
Stephen II. Gale of Exeter withdrew
before the nominations were called for.
and Mr.. Batchelder was chosen by ac-
clamation. No other candidates are
to be nominated by state conventions
in New Hampshire. The platform
adopted endorses the administration on
all points, and favors the denomination
of President Roosevelt. Illegal COM
bines are condemned, and one plank
opposes the indiscriminate destruction
OF forests.
Upon the assembling Of the Repub-
lican state convention today. the ques-
ton Of the platform declaration on the
liquor traffic was far from settlement.
The local optionists presented plank
in favor of handing the entire subject
over TO the next legislature, but the
prohibitionists insisted upon a direct
referendum at a special election early
in the winter OF 1903.
The platform cOngratulates citizens
OF the country upon the universal pros
perity now prevailing; deplores the
death OF President Mckinley: reaffirms
the national platform Of 1900 to AmeTi-
caniZe Cuba by kindness. not by con-
quest, and endorses the course OF the
administration in the Philippines.
The platform further says that legiti-
mate combinations Of capital which
will reduce the price Of necessities TO
the people are favored, bat any such
combinations as viii restrict business
and throttle competition by unjust and
tyrannical practices are condemned.
The resolutions continue as follows:
I'VE fully endorse the administra-
ton of President Roosevelt. Called
without notice TO assume the Office OF
chief executive of our great nation,
Theodore Roosevelt has proven him
self competent In the highest degree for
its duties. Assuming all responsible
ties which came 10 him, he has dis
charged them 10 the satisfaction OF the
people. Aggressive, patriotic, firm. OF
comprehensive view and answering
integrity, his administration OF our
government has commanded the conf
dence and admiration, not only OF
Americans, but Of the civilized world
as, well. and we unanimously favor his
election as president OF the United
States"

Los Angeles, Cal. Sept. Hired
eEick /. Monser of San Francisco. the
scientist and lecturer, has returned
from a six weeks exploration and col
lection trip among the Navajo, Moque
and Pueblo Indians of Arizona. In Mr..
MOnser's party were Edward II. Kemp
OF San Francisco. DIR. z. NJ. Jones of
the University of California. and DR..
A. Monk of Los Angeles. Mr.. Monser
states that the Navajo tribe, number
ing about 10000 men. women and chill
dren. is rapidly approaching the star
walton point, and that unless speedy
and substantial aid is rendered them
by the government, or by the people
unofficially, fearfAl distress and great
loss of life will result. Continued drouth
and the barren country in which the
Indians live. he says. have brought the
Navajoes to their present condition.

Republican legislation to build an in

Democratic party upon them is con-
demned. A high tribute is paid 10 the

and saws:
I'VE express our faith in his thor

After the reading of the platform ].
A. W. Smith OF Birmingham offered a
substitute. the same as the original re-
port, except that il omitted all refer
ence TO the endorsement OF President
Roosevelt for a denomination. The
substitute was vigorously debated. and
the convention was thrown into tur-
moii. Some Of the speakers upheld the
substitute, declaring that II was TOO
early to speak on the campaign Of 1904,
while others charged that an effort was
being made to knife a Republican pres
ident. Finally the roll was called and
the substitute was defeated. l5S to

COURT OF ARBITRATION
Case Of the United States Pre-
sented by Senator Stewart
Ruling on Points Raised.

The Hague, Sept. 1.-THE interna-
with reference TO points raised Monday
that Mexicos reply to the United
States memorandum shall be included
in the documents in the case and that
the plaintiffs have the right to intro
duce a written reply before Sept. %;
that after the American pleadings Mex
leo shall be heard, and that each side
is entitled TO make a reply through a
single counsel representing each side.
Senator Stewart of Nevada then re-
sumed his presentation OF the case Of
the United States and introduced doc
uments from the archives OF the arch
bishOpric of San Francisco in support
of his contention that the law of 1885,
founding the Plus fund, gave the pro-
ceeds in perpetuity for the civilization
of the natives of California and the
propagation of the Catholic religion IN
those regions, and that the expulsion
of the Jesuits by the king of Spain only
changed the trustees of the fund, as
the Jesuits were not its owners, but
merely trustees for the church.
Senator Stewart dealt lengthily with
the Mexican contentious and was fol-
lowed by Carrot McEnerney. legal ad-
wiser of Archbishop Riordan of San
Francisco. who asserted that the Plus
fund had been recognized as belonging
To California by all the authorities of
Mexico from 1647 until the cession of
California by the treaty of Guadalupe
in 1871 McEnerney claimed that the
funds We're administered in turn by
Jesuits of Spain and Mexico and that
the funds We're never the property of
the administrators, but always retained
their original character as trust funds.
Mexico's contention that the funds
were intended solely or principally for
the civilization of Spanish or Mexican
subjects was untenable Mr.. Mem
erney occupied the rest of the session
and will resume the pleadings Sept. %.

n OsToN, Sept. 7.-Acrimony was
n not wanting for a time in the
Democratic state convention in
fremont Temple today. but in the end
harmony was restored and the state
ticket was enthusiastically greeted.
The ticket follows:
Governor-William A. CASTOR of Bos-
ton.
Lieutenant Governor-John C. Cros-
by. Pittsfeld.
Secretary of State-Willmore b..
Stone. Springfield.
Treasurer-Thomas C. Thatcher.
Yarmouth.
Auditor. L. ChalifouX, Lowell.
Attorney General-John j. Flaherty,
Gloucester.
il might be said that in naming Col
onei CASTOR to head the ticket prece-
dent was shattered, inasmuch as he
was nominated and then given plat
form of his own dictation.
Fight Over Platform.
Not unlike the famous convictions of
1896 and 1900, the fight was over the
national issues in the platform. The
test of strength was between Colonei
CASTOR on the one hand and George
Fred Williams, once the stalWart lead
er Of the silver Democrats. on the
other. In this battle Mr.. Williams was
utterly routed. with the predicted re-
suit that he is shOrn of all power OF
leadership. The platform adopted Is a
reputation of the Kansas City plat
form, for Mr.. CASTOR refused to be the
nominee If in any way the declaration
of principles could be construed 70
endorse those things most prominently
advocated by the party in the last TWO
campaigns.
Mr.. Williams was chairman OF the
committee on resolutions and proposed
the endorsement of the Kansas CITY
] platform. In Difference to the protests
of Josiah Quincy. member OF the
committee. speaking for Colonel Cas-
ton, he consented TO waive the endorse
ment and proposed planks IN which the
national questions of trusts, monoro-
lies and corporations were dealt win
in strong language.
williams Was Routed.
Mr.. Quincy wrote a platform which
was acceptable to MIR. CASTOR, whose
convention strength was estimated

] over Charles S. Haalin, the other can
I didate for the nomination. In commit
| tee last night MIR. Quiney's draft was
accepted by a majority vote Of "A TO Z,
which was repeated before the con-
Vention opened. Mr.. Williams pre-
pared a minority report.
The convention opened with trouble
brewing. 1t came soon after Mr.. Gas
toms nomination, when the matter OF
platform was brought up. The battle
from the floor was one of bitter words
during which the delegates obJecting
to Mr.. Williams sarcastic reference 10
certain planks in the platform, which
he said, were placed there at Mr.. Cas-
TONS solicitation. Kissed and cried him
down. Throughout the tumut The
speaker exultantly surveyed the

platform, asked that Mr.. CASTOR

was done amid cheers, and the con-
vention adjourned.

The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1902-04-02

The Commercial Club of this city has en-
barked i'm a movement to promote the man
ufacturing interests of the city which
should have the hearty support and CO.
operation of the public. Readers of the
Journal do not need to be informed that in
these days of strenuous competition a city
that does not hustle" for new business
and manufacturing enterprises will not get
them. New factories are coming to Indiana
and old ones are changing locations, and if
this city is TO secure its share it must be
up and doing. The Commercial Club has
the entire confidence of the community and
in this matter 1t has no end to serve but
the general welfare and prosperity of the
city. Whatever it does in this behalf is
done voluntarily. and every citizen of In
dianapolis is under the same obligation to
bear a hand in matters OF this kind as
officers and members of the club are.
The movement referred TO contemplates
the establishment of a new manufacturing
suburb south of the city. To this end the
Commercial Club Factory Association has
purchased ninety-one acres of land two and
one-half miles south of the monument and
one-half mile east of Garfield Park. Vir-
ginia avenue extended would run through
the tract, which has 5000 feet on the Belt
Railroad and is five blocks from the Pros
pect-street car line and six blocks from the
Shelby-street line. City water and electric
lights extend TO the north line of the tract.
This land has been divided into 400 lots of
which the club proposes to sell 200 at 500
per lot. reserving thirty acres for factories.
In order to induce factories to come here
it is proposed to offer free sites which, in
addition to Belt Railroad facilities and
other advantages. ought to prove very at
t~ractive. 1t is believed the lots will be
found desirable for workingmen's homes
and will prove a good investment. The
present offer of lots is for the purpose of
raising money to make the first payment on
the land, and the club asks business men
and investors TO buy them. The request is
quite different from the common appeals of
private syndicates where personal profit is
the main object. This is not a speculative
movement and there is no money in it for
its promoters, though the purchasers of lots
may realize a profit. The sole object is to
add to the manufacturing interests of the
city and thereby promote the general well
fare. The appeal of the Commercial Club
in this behalf should meet with a hearty
reSnODSa

"a FOOLS Year is a novel of English life,
by T.. II. Cooper. The scenes are located in
and near London. The principal character
is Cyrus Hopper, a man of millions and,
of course, an American. He is ostensibly
a bachelor, really a widower. with two
grown daughters living in Chicago, who
are expected to stay there, unless permitted
by the father TO change residence. The
American is interested in horse racing and
is more than suspected of transactions suf-
hciently shady to bar him from the turf.
As he Is looking for a wife among the
quality" and has proposed TO a marquis for
his daughter. he cannot afford to be ex-
posed. He therefore offers Godfrey Stew
art. q relative of the marquis, and unexcep-
tionable except for his poverty. a bride of
100000 to keep silence. 1t is accepted,
and from hat time Godfrey suffers the
fortunes of remorse, and is only partially
restored to self-respect when, after six
months, he returns the money, being en-
abled by the kind offers of the marquis to
make up the amount spent. 1t is not an
entirely pleasant tale, though no doubt
true to life, except that millionaire amount
is too great to belong to the probabilities.
The American who has made millions could
not so readily be parted from one of them.
Still, Cyrus Hopper is willing that his cid
est daughter shall marry the man who took
the bride. So his sensibilities have not
been greatly shocked. "All's well that ends
we'll" but it was a bad Fools Year"
