ALL HOTELS BUSY.
In Some Instances Guests Had to BE
Turned Away After 10 p. IN.

The hotels of Indianapolis doing
rushing business this week, and the OPEN
ing of the Claypool seemed to have no
effect on the number of guests at the other
houses. The Spencer. Grand. Denison and
English and other hostelries were turning
guests away before 10 o'clock last night
and the Claypool had over three hundred
of it's rooms assigned at the hour
Where all the visitors TO the city would
have been cared for If the Claypool had
not been opened yesterday is something of
a problem.
The remarkable volume of business is
due largely to half a dozen conventions
that are on in the city this week, but even
at that the number of commercial men and
other visitors is unusually large. And
there is little prospect for decrease in
the pressure. Manager Charles Rouser, of
the English, said last night that there will
be so many meetings and conventions in
the city for the next two months that the
hotels will have all they can handle in adj
dition to caring for their regular patrons.

In the matter OF the jurisdictional con-
Court and the Circuit Court OF Floyd
County in a bankruptcy proceeding that
excited so much attention a few weeks
ago the United States Supreme Court holds
that Judge Anderson exceeded his powers
In sentencing the Louisville attorneys to
Jail for contempt. The decision simply
shows a difference OF opinion between a
lower and higher court on a doubtful
point Of law. That is what courts of ap-
peal are created for-to determine doubtful

To-day Is the thfrty-fourth day of the
illness of Booth Harrington from typhoid
fever. and. although no apprehension is
felt by his relatives and friends that the
Illness will take fatal turn, there is alarm
at the slowness of Mr.. Tarkington's recov-
cry. Yesterday his fever reached 10S. three
degrees higher than it had been several
days previous. 1t is believed, however. that
1t will decrease slowly from now on, and
that another week should find the sick man
entirely out of danger.

A SCHOLAR ON THE LABOR QUESTION

We have heard a good deal of the scholar

politics, but the scholar has not been much
in evidence on the labor question. except in
a theoretical and academic way. Organized
labor has given President HadIey, of Yale
University, chance TO define his position
In a practical way. During the strike of
New Haven hackmen for more pay some
of the Yale students volunteered to take
the places Of the strikers at the old wages.
Driving a hack can hardly be called skilled
labor. and the average Yale undergraduate
is probably quite equal to the job. A

trades council waited on President Hsdley

The administration of the Southern Insane
Hospital has not been satisfactory for some
time. The report of recent investigation
by a committee of the Board of Charities
presented unsatisfactory conditions which
should be remedied. In the judgment of
the Board of Charities the only remedy
seemed to be change of nearly all of the
officers which ii selects. The superintendent
at once resigned and his successor has been
selected. Those whose only interest in
State institutions Is to criticise and suspect
officials controlling them are troubled be-
cause the appointee is not a physician of
good reputation in general practice
charge which could have been made against
the present successful superintendent of the
Central Insane Hospital when he was ap-
pointed years ago. Since the resignation Of
the superintendent most of the subordinates
appointed by the board have been asked to
resign, doubtless because its members have
come to the conclusion that a general
change is necessary in order to bring about
those whose vocation is to suspect are not
satisfied with so rational an explanation,
but would like to believe that personal or
political ambition Is the incentive. 1t will
appear to most people that long-standing
unsatisfactory conditions inside the South
ern Hospital are not only abundant cause
for the changes, but would be an adequate
cause of criticism If such charges were not
made in the management as would rid
the institution of incompetent subordinates

A correspondent of the News comments
on an editorial in the Journal criticisiDg
Bishop Dudley's recent address in this city
on Gen. Robert f. Lee. Bishop Dudley
maintained that General Lee was one of
the five greatest generals of the English
speaking people, viz, Lee, Washington,
Wellington. Marlborough and Stonewall
Jackson, and the correspondent agrees with
him. Both place Grant below Lee in re-
spect of generalship. and the correspondent
says Grant won simply by preponderance
Of numbers" That is an unwarranted as
sumption. High military authorities have
pronounced Grant as great II not a greater
general than Lee. The News correspondent
says: eff Lee had accepted the offer of the
government to take command of the Union
forces any one that has read the history
Of the civil war can see now that that
contest would probably not have lasted a
year." General Lee was never offered the
command of the Union forces. The corre-
spondent also says that English his
torians'' pronounced Lee one of the five
greatest generals of the English-speaking
race. Only one English writer has made
this statement, and he was not eminent.
