Senator Fremont Goodwine, of Williams

is not yet ready to say whether he will be
a candidate for the Republican nomination
for Lieutenant Governor. Senator Good
wines friends have been intimating that
he would be in the race, but he said it was
entirely too early to be making any an
nouncements in that line. In this connec-
ton he pointed out that it is not always
the early bird that gets the worm. Lieu
tenant Governor Gilbert, you remember"
he said, was not a candidate, or, at least,
did not get into the fight as an avowed
candidate, three years ago, until about
two weeks before the convention"
Senator Goodwine was but one of a large
number of members of the recent Legisla-
ture who were in the city yesterday, and

AN EYEWITNESS FOUND
MRS. BROWN, COLORED. SAW ALLEN
WRIGHT DO HIS DEADLY WORK.
She Was I'm Her House Across the
Street When the Tragedy Occurred
Determination To-Day.

An eyewitness to the crime of Allen
Wright, who killed two persons and wound
ed two in the hovel at 426 East Wabash
street Sunday night has been located. She
is Mrs Brown. colored, who lives across
from the house where the tragedy occurred.
According to her story Wright quarreled
with the inmates of the Coleman home
for some time. Mrs. Brown sat at win
dow and saw everything. Wright first
shot and killed John Willis, who was on
the sidewalk. Then he fired at Mrs.
Jeffries and missed her. but third shot
killed her. Wright during all this was
outside of the house. but Mrs. Jeffries was
inside. Wright leaped over her body and
emptied his revolver at the other inmates,
wounding two.
Coroner Tutewiler will begin the ex-
animation of witnesses in this case to-
day and much dependence is placed on
Mrs. Browns testimony. Last night the
coroner, DIR. Gels and Superintendent
Taffe visited the Coleman home and found
the bullet which killed Mrs. Jeffries. 1t
was weighed by DR.. Gels and showed that
1T was of .3S caliber.

Mine Workers President Returns
After an Absence of Weeks

MAhC "VNACHs ETcsIucnt neturnS
After an Absence of Weeks.
President John Mitchell, of the United
Mine Workers of America, returned to Indi-
annapolis yesterday. Mr.. Mitchell has been
away from Indianapolis for several weeks
attending conventions of the mine workers
in various parts of the Union, and during
the past week he has been in West Virginia
consulting with Secretary Wilson and Vice
President Lewis on the possibilities of sue
cess there in the organization of the soft
coal mine workers.
Mr.. Mitchell, when he arrived in Indianap-
oils yesterday, seemed to be in good health
and much better in appearance than when
last in this city. In regard to the recent de-
cision of the arbitration committee he had
nothing TO say.
He will remain in the city for some time
and at present will have much to do in dis
posing of the routine business now before
him at the headquarters of the mine work.

mittee is source of qualification to Mr..
Mitchell In that 1t recognizes the presence
of the mine workers union. Heretofore
the mine workers have struggled along
without the consent of the operators. and
that the commission. appointed by the
President, should recognize their organi-
cation by submitting to President Mitchell
a copy of the report before il was published
in the newspapers was highly satisfactory
to them.

M'CULLOCH IN THE CITY.


1Or Ot0er PurcnaSeS.
George F. McCulloch. president of the
Union Traction Company, returned to the
city yesterday after completing the pur-
chase Of the Fort Wayne traction lines.
The transaction was completed at Cleve-
land. o., yesterday, when the owners of the
Fort Wayne system, Gen. G. A. Garretson,
II. p. Mcintosh, j. III. Wade, II. p. Wells,
James Parmlee and other capitalists of
Cleveland received the purchase money.
The Fort Wayne traction lines were capt.
talized at 100000 and this is supposed to
have been the price paid. but the Cleveland
interests decline to say what the price was.
The deal is regarded as the first of sew
eral that will unite with the Union Trac-
ton Company system several of the impor-
tant inter urban lines of northern Indiana,
including the Fort Wayne & Southwestern,
reaching Marion, the northernmost point of
the present Union system.
The progress of the Indianapolis North
ern between Indianapolis and Logansport
revives discussion of the probable purchase
it's alteration to make ii a terminal line for
the Northern. Mr.. McCulloch said last
night that this would doubtless be the case
but that no meetings had been called to
make this transaction effective. The North
ern will come through Broad Ripple and ii
is not desirable to follow the present route
of the Broad Ripple line, as the Northern
expects to come into the city by wav of
College avenue. The Northern is to be
double-tracked TO Broad Ripple. Coupled
with the taking over of the Broad Ripple
by the Northern is the report that there
are to be large improvements at Broad Rip
pie Park. Mr.. McCulloch said anticipation
of any improvements was not justified now

WANTS THE sPEAKERSHIP,
But James A. Mitchell VIII Wait Until
He Is Sure of Reelection.

James A. Mitchell. Of Noblesville, who
represented Hamilton county in the House
during the recent session of the Legisla-
ture. will be candidate for renominatio
and in the event that he is returned to the
House will probably be a candidate for
speaker. Mr.. Mitchell. who was in the city
last night, intimated that such were his
plans He said, however, that he would not
begin the race for speaker until he was
SIRE of reelection. There was a member
of the House of 1901 who announced his
candidacy for the speakership Immediately
after adjournment and began TO build his
fences, and then he was overwhelmingly
defeated for the nomination. Mitchell does
not want to go through such an expert
ence.
There are always four or five candidates
for the nomination for representative in
Hamilton county, he said, land I am by
no means sure of being returned That
question will have TO be settled before /
