Without pretending to know definitely who
or what it is that controls the weather though
there are those who claim to possess full knowl-
edge thereon, we suggest that if the management
of the weather could be turned over to a com

HOOVER WILL BE HANGED
SUPREME COURT AFFIRMS DECISION
OF CRIMINAL COURT.
Evidence in Support of Insanity Not
Sufficient, Judge Bowling Says
Review of the Crime.

1.-THE evidence in support of the plea of in
sanity is inconclusive and unsatisfactory,
said Judge Bowling. of the Supreme Court
of Indiana, in summing up the Hoover case.
The court yesterday handed down its deci-
sion on the appeal of attorneys for Edward
Hoover for a new trial. Hoover killed his
father-in-law. Frank Sutton, last May. He
has been waiting in his cell in Michigan
City prison for the court to act on his case
The news which went TO Hoover yester-
day afternoon was discouraging, for the
Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the
Marion county Criminal Court and the con-
demned man must hang. The date of his
execution is Nov. Is. He was originally
sentenced to be hanged on Oct. ?, but the
court granted a stay of execution in order
that his case might have fair consideration.
All the members of the Supreme bench
concurred in Judge Dowling's opinion. The
latter declares that every legal element
of murder in the first degree, malice. pre-
meditation and elaboration in carrying a
deadly purpose into execution were clearly
established by the proof
The contention of the State was that
Hoover was not insane when he committed
the crime, but was drinking. Judge Dowl-
ing In reviewing the case points out that
counsel did not deny that the verdict was
right upon the evidence, but counsel's OBJ
jections related to the admission and ex-
clusion of evidence and the manner in
which the court gave instructions. Most
Of the evidence objected to tended TO show
that at times when Hoover was quarrel
some he was under the influence of liquor.
The evidence in the case showed that
Hoover's wife had left him and that the
killing of his father-in-law occurred after
the separation. The shooting took place in
a house on West Maryland street Hoover
and his wife had lived there, but after their
separation she went to live with her par
ents on their farm. The day of the killing
Mrs. Hoover's father. Frank Sutton, went
to the Maryland-street house TO move the
Hoover goods TO the farm. While he was
carrying out the goods Hoover came along
and had some words with Sutton. In the
midst of the argument he drew a pistol
and shot Sutton dead.
Word comes from Michigan City that
Hoover has been Indifferent regarding his
fate. His wife lives with her mother near
the city. Before her husband was taken
to prison she called on him at the jail at his
request AS she afterward stated she went
there supposing he wanted to ask her for
giveness for the awful crime he had com.
mitted. She said chat while she felt he
should be hanged for bis crime she did MOI
desire him TO go to his death feeling bitter
| toward her.

MORE TALK OF CONTESTS.
Suits May He Brought by Little and
Democratic Candidates for Council.

Attorney Pirtle Herod says the fact that
Thomas S. Whallon. recently elected police
judge. failed to file an itemized statement
of his expenses in securing the nomination
for police judge. within ten days after the
primary election, cannot have the least
bearing on the proposed contest OF his cleo
ton by Edward W. Little. the defeated
Democratic candidate for police judge.
Although the examination of the con-
tested ballots in the police judge vote shows
conclusively that Judge Whalon is elected
beyond all possible doubt Little has not
yet given up the idea that by some chance
he may be able to wrest the Office away
from Judge Whallon.
Piitle Herod said yesterday afternoon in
reference 10 the statement In an afternoon
paper that Judge Whallon's failure to file
the statement of his campaign expenses
within the time prescribed by law may be
ter cannot have the least effect the pro-
posed contest. Because somebody says
Judge Whallon did not file this statement of
his campaign expenses in the proper time
does not cast the least reflection upon
Judge Whallon. This matter is entirely
separate and apart from any contest Little

POWERS OF THE TRUSTEES.
Statute Was Designed to Prevent
Manipulation of Company.

The statute which bears upon the powers
of the trustees of the Consumers Gas
Trust Company was framed by the late
John NJ. Butler, who was recognized to be
one of the most able lawyers of the State.
1t was designed especially to prevent just
such manipulation OF the company as is
alleged against the present directorate.
The statute, as contained in Burns, Section
5S79e. in force March 3, 1889, is as follows:
1.-THE subscribers TO the capital of any
company, corporation, or voluntary assoc

or voluntary association, agree with said

power of holding and voting said capital

SAW S. E. M0RSS FALL.
W. \. Lorentx md John Il. Reynolds
Testify Before Coroner.

Coroner Tutewiler yesterday heard the
testimony OF W. \. Lorentz and John Il.
Reynolds. who were eyewitnesses to the
fatal fall OF Mr.. :. L. Morss, the pro-
prietor OF the Sentinel, several days age.
Mr.. Lorentz said he was sitting in his
office at 80 South Illinois street, directly
opposite the Sentinel building, and saw
Mr.. Morss fall to his death. He was lean
ing out OF the window watching some
workmen in the alley when he suddenly
seemed TO lose his balance and fall back
wards out of the window. striking on his
back on the pavement below. Reynolds is
a colored porter at the Occidental hotel
and was crossing the alley by the Sentinel

of Mr. Morss falling to the ground but he
did not see him fall out of the window.

HOSPITALS SUPERINTENDENT
DIR. PAUL 8. MARTIN APPOINTED By
THE HEALTH BOARD.
Several Minor Appointments An
nounced-New Railroad and the
Park Board-City Affairs.

II the Hoffman administration refuses to
pay James BARLEY for his services as In
spector of scales, weights and measures
during the first twenty-five days of october
it is not improbable that a movement will
be started to have Council repeal the ordi-
nance by which the office of inspector of
scales, weights and measures was created.
A report was circulated about the City
Hall yesterday afternoon to the effect that
City Controller Dunn will refuse to pay
BARLEY his salary for October. 1t was
reported that City Attorney Warrum had
held that BARLEY was not appointed legally
and that therefore the Hoffman admins
tTation cannot legally pay him any salary.
II the Hoffman administration adopts
this means of holding up Bartley's salary
it is thought the Republican majority in
the Council may take part in the Barley
Ryan contest. In the face of claiming that
BARLEY was not appointed legally. the new
administration took matters In its own
hands in regard to the appointment of an
inspector of scales, weights and measures
and disregarded the ordinance which Gre
ated the office in the appointment of Patrick
jeremiah Ryan TO succeed BARLEY: The
ordinance provides that this officer shall be-
appointed by the mayor. Ryan was ap-
pointed by the Board OF Public Safety.
IL Is understood the new administration
will run into snag If 1t holds up Bartley's
salary. BARLEY did the work of the Office
Of inspector of scales, weights and meas
ures the first twenty-five days of October
until Ryan was appointed-and the question
is asked: why should the new admins
tration refuse TO pay him?"
The office was created during one OF the
Taggart administrations for political pur-
poses. The charter of Indianapolis does
not provide for such official.
The Republicans have majority In the
Council. and IL Mayor Holtzmans city

SUIT AN UNPLEASANT SURPRISE.


a number of those who have the in
terests of the public at heart in the agi-
tation directed against the present course
of the management of the Consumers Gas
Trust Company are surprised unpleasantly
by the SUI instituted by Mr.. Marott- They
believe the suit may result in the very
thing the present board of directors is
said to be striving for-the dissolution of
the company, the division Of its assets
among a comparatively few stockholders.
and the public left to mold the bag.
Alfred +. Potts. who has been leading
the campaign In the interests of the con-
sumers, had the following to say yester-
day. This gives a tremendous impetus to
the claim for a change OF management
within the trust, and ought to settle the
question with the trustees as to the need
of electing directors who will save the
company from being sold out by a re-
ceiver.
Such sale would wipe out the trust
feature In behalf Of the consumers, and
the surplus, after the payment of credit
Ors would, L fear, have TO be divided
among the stockholders. If the court
knows that new Set of directors has
been elected pledged TO save the COM
pany for the benefit of the public. il
would certainly not appoint a receiver who
could do no more than the directors could
be pledged to do. So that now the re-
sponsibility is greater than ever upon the
trustees to elect directors who will vigor-
ously fight the effort for receivership.
Mr.. Potts would like to obtain the names
of the present stockholders in the com
pany In order to ascertain how many OF
them are willing that the company continue
in business for the manufacture of arti
fetal gas. He would like to communicate
with all those who are willing to stand
by their original agreement.

himself emphatically against the wreckinf
OF the company, and who declares that tbs
duty of the Consumers Company is plain
to remain in business and serve the pub
