LEADERS HERE TO .LooK on


One Of the striking features of the ap-
preaching Democratic state convention is
the presence of a number Of leaders who
have only come TO look on One of the
most prominent of these is Major G.. V.
Menzies, Of Mount Vernon, who arrived
yesterday and is staying at the Hotel
English. For while last night the major
mingled with the Democracy at the Grand
Hotel The weather was warm and he
was hot and uncomfortable. He intimated
that he would take no part in the con-
vention unless ii was deemed necessary.
The major was in that frame OF mind
where he was even willing for his col
leagues TO frame the platform without any
special assistance from him.
This date for the convention was a
most unfortunate selection" SAID he. THE
farmers are in the midst of corn planting
and they don't want to leave their crops.
The major thinks the convention will be
composed largely of men from the towns.
Major Menzies has been mentioned in con-
nection with the craftsmanship, but he an
nounced last night that he would not be
chairman. He said he was not an appli-
cant for the place and did not want 1T. 1t
has been understood all along that the eX-
treme silver element of Democracy would
oppose the selection of MenZieS While the
ma jor was in the lobby of the Grand Hotel
last night his friend Hugh Dougherty ar
rived from Button, with w. II. Eichhorn.
Mr.. Dougherty has also been spoken of in
connection with the craftsmanship, but Ii
is not understood that he is a candidate.
Ii was said last night that Senator Elem
ing, of Fort Wayne, who is a stanch friend
of Menzies and Dougherty, would arrive
to-day.
1t was remarked last night that John
W. Kern was not about the lobby of the
hotel, and some one suggested that he was
perhaps out of the city. b. Z. ShiVely, OF
South Bend, had not arrived last night,
but he is expected to-day. There has been
considerable talk of making Shively chair
man of the convention, but some of the
leaders say that he would not consent TO
become a candidate in view of the fact
that the Kern boom was started by the
latter's friends some time ago. So far as
Kern is personally concerned, 1t is not
thought he cares about the Craftsmanship.
His friends are making the campaign for

A few days ago Miss Adams pleaded not
guilty to the charge and time was given

When she was brought into court yesterday
she changed her former plea and threw
herself on the mercy of the court.
In the room when court convened yester-
day were ten of her alleged victims One of
the men was farmer from Kansas. He is
a man about sixty years old. He sat in the

He wore large eye glasses which rested
far down on his nose. On his head was a
thick growth of gray hair which hung loose

clothes, but was minus a cravat. The other
victims were not old in appearance and
looked as though they might be better off

Miss Adams advertised in a matrimonial
bureau. She said she wanted a husband
and desired either farmer or a working
man. She received numerous answers,
among them being one from C.. n. Lewis

FOR ATTORNEY GENERALSHIP.
1t Is Causing Some Stir Among As
sembIed Democrats.

The contest for the attorney generalship
seems to be causing about as much stir
among the Democracy any other, al
though there is only one avowed candidate.
He is Senator Stilwell, of Princeton. The
senator was on the ground early yesterday.
Ii he has opposition it will come from P.
H Hartford, of Portland who is undecided
about making the race. The friends OF
Stilwer were claiming last night that he
would either be nominated by reclamation
or would win out finally with many votes
TO spare. 1T is probable" said Mr.. Hart
ford last night, that the contest may be
between Mr. Stilwell and myself" A rumor
was started about the lobby of the Grand
last night to the effect that Hartford had
switched" and instead OF being a candi-
date for attorney general would enter the
contest for Appellate Court judge. Mr..
Hartford said he had heard a rumor con-
Meeting himself with the appellate judgeship
but he knew nothing about 1t. In connec-
ton with this office Ii was announced
yesterday that John d. Magee. of Rush
vile, would be a candidate Mr.. Magee
is member of the State committee from
the Sixth district.

for state auditor was one of the arrivals
yesterday. He and his friends are making

Thomas Taggart, ex-mayor of Indian

this year." he declared. The things we
have quarreled over have been put aside
and forgotten" Mr.. Taggart declares that
the party is united and he can see visions
of sweet peace lowering over the conven-
ton. He says the selection of John w.
Kern will be perfectly satisfactory 10 him
and he thinks ii will be to the entire con-
vention. The ex-mayor thinks that no one
need expect any serious disagreements or
misunderstanding to grow out of the con-
vention.
Mr. Taggart did not know last night just
what part he would take in the conven-
tion-if any. He said he had not been in
town long enough to find out what the
situation was in his ward, hence he could
not tell whether he would be a delegate.

THE STATES POSITION
NO EXTRA FINANCIAL BURDEN WILL
BE FASTENED UPON 1T.
However, All Proper Precautions Will
BE Taken-Governor and Advis-
ors Hold a Meeting.

No extra financial burden will be fasten-
ed upon the State by the smallpox condi-
tons in Southern Indiana. The cost of
dealing with the situation and of making
inspections by officers of the State Board
of Health will be met by the State Board
out of the appropriation it has on hand.
Governor Durbin will not use any part of
the contagious disease fund for the pur-
pose.
The decision that the State Board of
Health should pay the expenses of DR..
Hurry and his assistant. DR.. Ferguson, on
their inspection trip through the counties
bordering along the river, out of the reg
ular appropriation, was made yesterday
after a meeting of Governor Durbin. DR..
Wishard and DIR. Cook of the board, State
Auditor Hart and Secretary of State Hunt.
The question Of providing funds to meet
the emergency was carefully discussed.
Governor Durbin reiterated his state
ment that he did not consider it necessary
or wise to spend any of the epidemic fund
in view of the fact that the counties should
be made to do their duty without help
from the State. and also in view of the fact
that the state Board of Health has on
hands at the present time more than half
of an appropriation of $4,000 State Auditor
Hart stated that the funds of the board
amount at the present time to something
over $1,000. II was the opinion of the state
officers that out of this money whatever
expense may be incurred by DIR. Hurty's
trip Of inspection should be paid rather
than that ii should be taken out of the cpl
demic fund. The members of the State
Board of Health who were present at the
meeting agreed with the state officers that
there is no reason why the expense should
not be met out of the funds now in posses
sion of the board.
Governor Durbin said yesterday after
noon: 1T is estimated that the expenses
of dealing with smallpox conditions in
southern Indiana will be about $500. There
ample funds IN possession of the State
Board-over S3,000-and there is no reason
why the expense should not be met by the
State Board rather than out of the epidemic
fund"
1.-THE cost of DR.. Hurtys trip of inspec-
ton should not be very great" II was sug-
gested to the Governor.
at should not" he replied. 1.-THE sum Of
$500 ought to be ample to cover it,"
'Will the State meet the cost of free
vaccine virus to be dispensed in the coun-
ties afflicted with smallpox"
THE State of Indiana is not in the bust
ness of free vaccination" the Governor
answered. Whenever the interests of hu-
mainly demand the State will not refuse
to look after sufferers, but there is no
money to expend for purposes that should
be looked after by local authorities"

their beauty and effectiveness without de-

in the First Presbyterian Church. The
storm of opposition that was aroused from
the older members Of the church is still
remembered, and so bitter was their an

many OF them would only enter the church
after the orchestra had ceased playing and
would then leave immedia tely after the
pastor had concluded his remarks
