Is also generally known that it is a very
popular form Of gambling. where bettors
get 'ouick action" and do not have TO
spend the time they would spend in other
forms of gaming. 1t is easy for a clerk or
anybody employed down town TO drop into
such a place for a moment and put up his
money. He can then go back to his work
and find out later whether he won or lost.
The widespread popularity Of the par
ticular form of gambling here INDUCED in
is demonstrated not merely by the crowds
usually found in the poolroom, but by the
general demand for race results that COM
pels the local newspapers to print them all.
Does anybody imagine that there are
enough people in and about indianapolis
tina know the horses and jockeys in all
these races and are interested merely
through such knowledge to cause such a
general demand for race results? OF course
not. The demand comes from people stalk
ing their money on the results, and any
paper falling to print them would prob
ably find its sales falling off.

1t looks a little as If the administration
had found 1t advisable to modify it's first
position relative to the new Panama govern
days Journal stated hat upon receipt of
a report by the State Department that
several British vessels were to be char
tered by the Colombian government to take
troops from Buena Ventura to the isthmus,
the Boston had been ordered to proceed
on Buena Ventura and If the troops start
for the isthmus to inform the commanders
that they cannot land. Later it was stated
that the orders to the commanding officer
of the Boston had been modified by more
specific instructions to prevent his going
as far as he might have lone under his
first instructions. The situation is critical
rand 1t is to be hoped the government will
not make any misstep. 1t probably went
the extreme length Of its rights at the
present stage Of the affair when il recog-
nized the independence~of Panama and de-
clared its purpose to protect American
property and keep the transit across the
isthmus uninterrupted and open. 1t would
have no right to say that Colombian troops
shall not be landed at any point on the
isthmus. Colombia has not recognized the
independence Of Panama. and it may be
her intention to attempt to r~e-estabJish
her authority over that province. If so,
the United States could not prevent her
from doing so without going the length
of establishing a protectorate over Panama,
and making its invasion by Colombia a
Cause of war. Unless the United States
does this it has no right to go further thar

and Colon and keeping the transit across
the isthmus open. If our naval NINA
ers were instructed to notify troops leaving
Buena Ventura that they would not be per-
mitted to land at any point on the 18TH
mus 1t is we'll that the instructions were
modified, as they would have m
the United States to a wrong position and
one that would be a declaration of wal
against Colombia. The latter government
has not yet shown its hand, and until il
does the United States should be careful
to keep within Its treaty rights and the line
of action due from one independent power
to another.

A WIDESPREAD GAMBLING MANIA.

At least one point is made very plain by
the poolroom trial as far as it has gone.
namely, that the next Legislature should
be asked TO enact a law dealing specif-
cally Wit this question and forbidding the
Offering OF facilities for betting on races.
No difficulty should be experienced in
drawing a bill that would cover the SUBJ
ject. The Journal does not by any means
despair of reaching the evil under the gen.
eral gambling laws. but ii has already been
shown that this is no easy matter. and the
business OF wiping out such an establish
ment should be made easy for the police
and the courts.
Notwithstanding the natural desire of
everybody that has ever played the races"
in this place to escape summons to the
Police Court. and Notwithstanding the lack
of definite testimony On the part OF those
that nave been called. the fact remains
and is known TO thousands OF people that
a pool1oom is a place where people can and
do make bets on the outcome OF races run
at some distant point. and that they either
win or lose the money they place I'm the
hands OF people in the establishment. IT

1t is said that Mayor-elect Mcclellan, of
New York. who has not yet resigned his
seat in Congress, will take a strong stand
in favor of Cuban reciprocity. This was
his position in the last Congress, when a
majority of the Democrats and some of the
Republicans opposed the measure. and he is
said to be prepared to renew the fight. He
was a member of the ways and means COM
mittee In the last Congress, and if he
should be assigned TO that committee again
he would be in a position. to render good
service for Cuban reciprocity. both In the
committee and on the floor of the House.
The fact is Mr.. Mcclellan is a very decent
Democrat The only really dark spot in his
record is having been elected mayor of New
York by Tammany. and perhaps he can

MISSIONS.


by the General Committee
OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 11.-At the opening
session of the general missionary commit
tee of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
which convened in the First Methodist
Church of Omaha to-day. the report of
the treasurer of the missionary society, DR..
Homer Eaton, of New York, was the
principal business. The report was for the
year ending Oct. 81, and showed the mis-
sionary gifts of the denomination to have
surpassed those Of any former year in the
history of the church. The receipts for the
year, including special gifts, amount to
81, 654, 223, passing the million and a half
mark for the first time. The increase for
ed to $136,a56. The disbursements for the
year for all purposes were $1,365, 4S5, Of
which $716, All went to foreign missions, and
$475,SiQ to home missions.
Bishop Edward G.. Andrews, Of New
York, presided at the afternoon session.
The general appropriations made at the
morning session left the sum of 81, 296, 900 to
be appropriated to the various missions.
home and foreign. After extended debate q
motion prevailed which was championed by
Bishops Fowler and Foss, Secretary Leon
ard, Treasurer Eaton and DIR. John r.
Gucher, and which provided for the ap-
preparation of $4,000 for property interests
in foreign mission fields.
In the evening a mass meeting was held

PROPOSED HONOR TIC A DECEASED
INDIANIAN.

A Washington dispatch to the Journal
says that Representative Hemenway has
introduced a bill appropriating $4,000 for
the erection in Washington of a statue of
Robert Dale owen. Mr.. Owen was for
many years a citizen of Indiana, and the
proposed statue would be a deserved tribute
to his character and public services. Few
citizens of Indiana have been more influ-
entail in shaping beneficial legislation than
he was during three terms of service in
the Legislature from 1886 to 1899 and as a
member of the constitutional convention
of 1850. But it was in connection with
national affairs that Mr.. Owen earned the
right to be honored in Washington. Elect
ed to Congress as a Democrat in 1910, he
became prominent at once, his speeches on
the Oregon question, the annexation of
Texas and the tariff question giving him
a leading place among its strong members.
He was "a fine speaker. On one occasion
a Wing member from Maryland twitted
him with having been born in a foreign
country. He said that if Mr.. Owen should
return to England he would probably be
commanded to appear before the Queen to
receive an order of knighthood for his
services in her behalf in the American Con-
gress. When Mr.. Owen rose to reply he
said that on looking around the hall he
saw but two pictures, those of Washing
ton and Lafayette. Continuing, he said:
while the gentleman from Maryland was
speaking the picture of Lafayette seemed
imbued with life. and / expected to see
its quivering lips cry ont: Take me hence!
This is no place for one born in a foreign
land" After addressing himself to the
question before the House, MI. Owen con-
cluded: Mr.. Speaker, the gentleman from
Maryland Is an American by chance; l am
one by choice. L had no control over the
place Of my birth; could l have chosen the
spot, it would have been in the Pocket of
Indiana" Mr.. owen served two terms in
providing for the organization of the Smith
sonian Institution, which was passed. He
was afterwards appointed one of the
regents of the institute, as we'll as chair
man of its building committee, and was
largely instrumental in organizing it on a
broad basis. 1t is for his services in con-
nection with the organization of the Smith
sonian Institution that it is proposed to
erect a statue of Mr.. Owen, to be placed in
the Smithsonian grounds. The honor is
eminently we'll deserved, and 1t is hoped
the bill may pass.

oBsTRUCTIoNlsTs TO THE REAR.

The fact that the Senate committees are
constituted by a caucus committee Of each
party, the Republicans arranging the as
signments of Republican senators and the
Democrats those of the senators OF that
party, gives the Republicans an opportu-
nifty TO remove Senator Morgan from the
Craftsmanship of the committee on inter-
oceanic canals, and they should improve
the opportunity. As the Republicans have
a majority in the Senate they have a
right TO constitute the committees as they
please. giving proper recognition to the
minority party. In the last Congress. and
for some time past. Senator Morgan was,
by courtesy OF the Republicans. permitted
to retain the Craftsmanship Of the Senate
an unusual compliment and was a recog-
milton of the senator's age, length OF service
and his long advocacy of an :sthmian canal.
Three of the Republican members of the
committee following Senator Morgan were
Senator'S Hawley of Connecticut, now de-
ceased. Plat of New York, and Hanna of
Ohio. 1t was a conspicuous act Of courtesy
IOT ne flcpuDDCdHS 10 allow a Democratic
senator to remain at the head of a COM
mittee including such distinguished Re-
publican senators as those named. The
Alabama senator has made a thorough
study Of the sthmian canal question and
his general views on the subject are pa
t%riotic. but he has allowed his preference
for the N~icaraguan route to warp his views
on the subject and place him in opposition
to the views of the majority. Latterly he
has consumed a great deal of time try
ing to impress his views on the Senate, and,
as sometimes happens with men of his
age. seventy-nine years. he has become
tiresome.
The time has come when Senate Morgan
should be displaced from the chairman
ship of the interoceanic canals committee
and the position be filed by a senator who
is in sympathy with the Republican major
ity and with the aims of the administra-
ton. No person doubts Senator Morgan's
patriotism or honesty, but he has allowed
his advocacy of his personal views to blind
him to all other consideration and make
him almost a crank in his opposition to
the Panama route. In short. he has become
an obstructionist and should give way to
a senator who Is in sympathy with the
majority In that body and with the ad-
ministration. There is no better man in the
Senate for chairman Of that committee
than Senator Hanna, who is now the
third member Of the committee. He is a
busines man, Is thoroughly conversant
with the canal question, and is in full
sympathy with the aims Of the admins
tration. He should be made chairman of the
committee, and If Senate Morgan wishes
to remain on it he should be given a lower
place. He should not be continued in a
position where he is able to play the part
Of an obstructionist to the embarrassment
of the administration and the Republican
majority In the Senate.

sunk by a p OF business men OF that
city. 1t is the intention TO drill &c 1900 feet.
The well is being drilled primarily FOR gas.
but oil would be as acceptable. Jesse wes-

Of steel was used up in drilling 500 feet ana
the tool dresser had a continuous and
arduous Job. The drill has now reached

The contract price for drilling the hole
is 81 a foot and Wesner says IL will be very
renumerative at that exceptionally high
figure. In Indiana the contract schedule for
drilling is only 50 cents a foot. In Psnnsyl.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
FORT WAYNE, Ind, Nov. 1l-Fort
Wayne is in the midst Of a real-estate
boom breaking all former records. For
many years the Council and the traction
company were at outs, and population was
congested owing to the fact that the COM
pany could not secure a franchise Enabling
it to build to the city limits. That conci-
ton has passed away, and the lines have
been extended. bringing much unplatted
ground into demand.
The ball was started rolling by Herman
c. futile. of Indianapolis. representing a
number Of indianapolis investors, who pur-
chased a tract of ground next to the city
limits and put IL on the market in lots.
Since then others have plated land along
street-car and interurban lines, and a total
of over a thousand lots have been sold.
