The Senate will be organized entirely on
the first day of its session. whereas In for

not arrived at until after. the upper house
had been meeting several days. The COM

The committee on rules did its work thor
oughly. 1t Is known that certain commit
tees will be discarded and that certain new
ones will be added The idea of the lieuten-
ant governor is that there should be a sep
arate committee for every important branch
of business in the body and the changes
were made in accordance with that theory.
The committee judiciary has been
divided. and while in effect ii will be really
one committee, yet for the purpose OF saw

Parks will be at the head of one division
and Senator Kittinger at the head of the
other.

MILITARY SERVICE CLUB
NEW CONSTITUTION AND BYLAWS
AND NEW OFFICERS.
A Mock COurt-Martial for the Instruc-
ton of Omcers OF the Na-
tiOnal Guard.

The Military Service Club of the Indiana
National Guard met last night in the Su-
preme Court room in the Statehouse and
adopted a new constitution and bylaws
for the government of the society during
the year. The election of officers resulted in
the selection of Brigatier General Mckee
commanding general of the Indiana National
Guard, as president A nominating COM
mittee made the choice of other officers
and the following were elected: Major Coul-
ter. first vice president: Col. ]. T. Barnett
second vice president; Captain Mclean,
secretary; Lieut.. w. w. Heiskell. treasurer.
council of administration, consisting of
Majors Harrison Carr and Bachman, Cap
tain Branch. Captain Freyermouth and
Lieutenant Moorhead was selected.
After discussing several features of mill
tary service not clearly defined in the tao
tics and unintelligent to the majority of
amateur soldiers, mock court-martial
trial was held, in which Second Lieut..
Brandt C. Downey. Second Infantry. was
tried for disobedience of orders under the
twenty-first article of war. under the fic-
titious name of John Jones. The court which
tried Lieutenant Jones was composed of
Major Coulter. First Infantry. senior officer
on the detail from brigade headquarters and
president of the court; Captains G. A. Gar
rard, II. NJ. Franklin and w. G.. Comfy and
Lieutenants w. w. Heiskell, Frederick
Swan and Frank Bridges. members of the
court, with Lieut.. Guy A. Boyle. of General
McKee's staff. as judge advocate.
Lieutenant Jones was accused of a laxity
of duty in permitting several women from
the crowd of people at the Union Station
on the occasion of PRINCE Henry's stop in
the city to pass through the Gordon of
guards and into the trainsheds, despite the
fact that Maj. III. T. Condo, battalion COM
mander and in command of the military
guard at the reception, had issued orders
positively forbidding the passage of any
person within the lines Joness defense of
his action was that a soldier should mix
little common sense with military dis
cipline and not allow women to be tram
pied to death because there were orders
against rescuing them.
The trial was an amusing one. and many
little mistakes in it's procedure were evil

PASSES TO THE SENATE.
Rigid Rule VIII BE Enforced in Ad.
hitting Visitors.

m1ttfng VISITORS.
One rule of the Senate which will be
rigidly enforced this session will concern
the admission of visitors to the chamber.
Heretofore there has been practically no
restriction placed upon those who wished
to observe the senators at their duties, and
every Tom, Dick and Harry, masculine and
feminine. that desired found no difficulty
In getting in upon the floor of the Senate.
So annoying did the crowds become in the
Senate of 1901 and I'm the session previous
to that that occasionally ii was difficult to
transact business because of the deluge of
humanity that had no real purpose on the
floor except 10 crafty idle curiosity or else
TO get in some graft"
Under the custom of former years passes
to the floor of the Senate were not taken
up at the door and were interchangeable.
Cards of admission issued to reputable per-
sons frequently found their way into the
hands or those whose presence was almost
an insult to the Senate; This time it will
be radically different. Care will be exer-
clsed, in the first place. in issuing passes.
In the second place, they will be much
fewer in number than in former years, and,
In the third place, all passes, except special
ones issued to people whose business will
take them daily or frequently to the cham
Der, will be taken up at the door and Will
not be interchangeable. Senators whose
attention has has been called to the reform
believe that ii Will work we'll and that 1T
will be conducive to the accomplishment Of
business.
The gallery will be for the exclusive use
of visitors and il is desired that 1T be used
rather than that visitors should attempt to
find room the floor. 1t is pointed out
that the gallery is a far better place to OBJ
serve the proceedings of the Senate and to
hear speeches than the floor, and that the
gallery of the Senate is more convenient
really than the gallery of the United States
Senate.
Lieutenant Governor Gilbert, discussing
the reform, said yesterday: There is no
reason why visitors should not be better
pleased with seats in the gallery than with
places on the floor. They are more desira-
BILE in every respect. The rule this session
will be to exclude from the floor everybody
but those who have business there. More
than that, this rule will be enforced 1t
will not be suffered to fall into disuse."
This rule will be applied to members as
we'll as to the public No member will be
allowed to take his wife or other members
of his family into the chamber and give
them seats on the floor 1t is pointed out
that this order is strictly enforced in the
Senate of the United States and that there
is no reason why the practice should be al
lowed in the Indiana Senate.
This session." Lieutenant Governor Gill
bert says, will be for business. 1t will not
be dramatic entertainment or vaude-
vile performance"

Legislative sideIights.

Newt H. Myers, postmaster of JEFFERSON
ville mingled with the statesmen in the lob
by of the English for a few hours yester-
day.
A speaker of the House is a potent in
dividual with prerogatives which approach
those OF demigod. but being a speaker
isn't all beer and skittles, as Henry w.
Marshall can testify. Mr.. Marshall has
had to look around corners like timid
debtor to dodge place hunters. Ordinarily
he keeps away from crowds as much as
possible, but man must eat and man
must sleep, and until hotels invent some
other way for man to get to meals and
bed hotel Hobbies are as dangerous a trap
a speaker can walk into.
XXX
Last night 1t took Mr.. Marshall just
thirty minutes to make his way from the
front door of English's Hotel to the ele-
vator. He was in a hurry, and he was
tired, but that made no difference. With
his foot the threshold he was stopped
by two or three men who wanted things.
These disposed of he got as far as the first
big leather chair where he was again held
up. By slow. stages he got to the cigar
stand, where the purchase of a few cigars
helped the situation trife. Then to the
by aspirants for sixty-day plums, and,
finally, after sweating blood. Mr.. Marshall
got to the elevator by which he was hoisted
to sweet dreams and forgetfulness of office
seekers.
Some twenty-odd years ago four men who
are now members of the Indiana Legisla-
ture were humble citizens of Somerset, a
village in Wabash county, on the banks Of
the picturesque Mississinewa, ten miles
south of the city of Wabash. Those men
are Senator Gochenour. of North Manches-
ter; Senator Stricken, of Marion; Repre-
sentative Morton. of Kokomo. and Repre-
sentative Minnick, of Converse. Gochenour
was at that time engaged in the dry goods
business, Morton was a shoe dealer, Strick-
Ter was school teacher and Minnick was
following the Dlow.
Somerset had only 800 inhabitants in those
number now but its citizens seemed to
have been made of the right timber.
Senator Wolcott received letter from one
of his constituents Tuesday morning asking
him TO secure the writer a job in the SEN
ate. The senator did little hustling around
and by nightfall was in a position TO wire
his constituent: Come on: have placed you
as file clerk. Yesterday afternoon the
man came in from Wolcott with carpet
bag In one hand and kit of tools in the
other. He was prepared to do any and all
kinds of filing. and do IL just little bit bet
ter than any other man in the Statehouse
That Is the story that was told at Senator
Wolcotts expense last night. Some people

HOUSE CAUCUS AFFAIRS.


The caucus of the Republican representa-
tives delightfully."- short, harmonious
and well arranged Representative Elias II.
Owen, of Rockville. called the caucus to
order. and Representative Kirkman was
at once chosen caucus chairman. AS soon
as Mr.. Kirkman took the gavel he called
for nominations for speaker, and Repre-
sentative Statesman presented the name of
his friend and colleague, the gentleman
from Tippecanoe. The speech was brief and
to the point. A rising vote was taken on
the nomination, and every member stood
except Mr.. Marshal himself.
The caucus then proceeded to the nominal
ton of clerk, assistant clerk and doorkeep-
er, and when this had been disposed of
motion to adjourn was called for. At this
point Representative Warren Sayre adj
dressed the chair and said that he thought
there was one little matter that the caucus
would do well TO investigate in order to
avoid any possible unpleasant complica-
tons. He said that Mr.. Marshall, the NOM
inee for speaker, had not indicated whether
he would accept the place, and he believed
the nominee should be called upon for a
statement. The caucus held Mr.. Sayre's
point well taken and thereupon Mr.. Mar
shall, without displaying any undue haste,
gracefully accepted the honor accorded him
and set at rest the mind Of the member
from Wabash.
The caucus lasted twenty minutes by the
clock.

CANTRELL IS SULKING.


II appears that since the expose of the
methods of Rufus Cantrell by Wallace
Simms I'm his letters to Superintendent
Taffe Cantrell has become uneasy. Since
the receipt of the first letter Cantrell has
been more than anxious to secure his lib
erty on bond. Failing to obtain this, he
has sulked in his cell at The Jail and every
hour or two sends forth an edict that he
viii not aid the State in further investiga-
fion. He claims he has not been treated
properly in having to remain in jail while
other alleged ghouls were given bond.
Nearly every day Cantrell has asked to see
one of the reporters from the daily papers.
TO one reporter he will confide that he is
not being treated fairly in the matter and
for the time the public will hear nothing
more OF grave robbing from him.
= Monday night CantreIl sent for a Journal
eporter. One called at the Jail and Can't
ELI said he wished to make statement.
HE said ii would have TO be written for
|him and when IL was submitted he would
ysign IL. He explained this by saying that
he was unable to write properly. being de-
dcient I'm his photography and compost
ton. In concluding he said the Journal was
the only paper i'm the city that had handled
his case truthfully. The Jolly was taken
BY the reporter for what ii was worth. but
no promises were made TO Cantrell. The
next day he sent for a Sentinel reporter,
TO whom he told the same story. The News
representative was next appealed to- To
all three he complained OF the incompetence
of the other reporters.

action of the caucus last night and so ex-

Lieutenant Governor Gilbert made
speech to the caucus in which he urged
that economy should be the watchword of
the senators this session, but that in being
economical they should not be penurous.
He urged that there is no better place to

Mr.. Gilbert suggested that there should be
