SIMON YANDES'S GENEROSITY.
He Has Given $1,000 to Technical In
stitute Fund-New Plans.


The committee of Commercial Club hus-
tiers appointed TO assist in raising funds
to purchase the arsenal property for the
technical institute met at the Commercial
Club at noon yesterday and completed plans
for the campaign which is to begin actively
to-day. The committee consists of about
fifty men, and it was arranged that each
man shall see twenty others. 1t is the pur-
pose to solicit within the membership of the
club. Each man appointed will be asked to
give $40 or as much more as he feels ne
can afford. The institute promoters hope
the club will be able to accomplish won
ders In the way of subscriptions. Almost
before ii had begun work the committee
collected $50 in voluntary subscriptions.

Higher Court Decisions.

The Supreme Court yesterday affirmed
the judgment in favor of the defendant I'm
the suit by John Kiefer to contest the cleo
ton of David M. Wheatley as county as
SCISSOR of Upton county. The object of the
suit was TO test the constitutionality of the
property and residence qualifications re-
quired by the statute for holding the Office
of county assessor.
The Appellate Court held yesterday that
failure TO comply substantially with its
rules in the preparation of briefs cannot
be excused by the court when insisted on
by opposing counsel as an error. Judge
Black stated that the rules of the court
constitute part of the law, and cannot be
wholly waived or ignored by the court by
which they were adopted and published.
The Appellate Court decided yesterday
that where a building association mortgage
becomes due by reason of the appointment
of receiver for the association before the
loan has otherwise matured, and suit is
brought by the receiver to foreclose, he is
only entitled to recover the original loan,
with per cent. interest. The suit was ole
brought by the Union Trust Company
against Peter +. Shilling, of Clark county.

STATE HEADQUARTERS.
Republican Committee Will Have to
Give Up Present Rooms in Majestic.

The headquarters of the Republican
state committee, which have been located
on the seventh floor of the Majestic build
ing at Pennsylvania and Maryland streets
for the last six years, must be moved The
American Hominy Company has leased the
entire seventh floor of the Majestic for its
headquarters, and the Republican state
committee, along with the other tenants on
by the first of next month
The officers of the committee regret very
much that they are compelled to move the
headquarters. The rooms which they have
occupied since 1897 are admirably arranged
for the purposes of the committee but the
worst feature about making the change is
that Republicans from all over the
State have become accustomed to visit the
committee at the present headquarters and
they will find it hard to learn to look else
where.
1t is not known at present whether or not
the committee will leave the Majestic
building. 1t was stated yesterday at head
quarters that temporary quarters would
probably be taken in the Majestic and that
1T was possible they would be made per-
manent.
John X. Gowdy, of Rushville, present
consul general at Paris, was state chair
man when the headquarters were estab b.
lished in the Majestic, and since Gowdy's
regime Charles S. Hernly, of New Castle.
and James p. Goodrich, of Winchester
have directed the affairs of Republican
state politics from those offices.

OF rapidly extending rural free delivery
service in this State. In reference 20 this
bill Mr.. s. b. Rathbone. jr., special agent
In charge of the Middle division rural
free delivery service, said:
My reason for asking the Legislature to
adopt this law was that We have had a
great deal of trouble in the different States
in this division in having the road super
visors repair the roads promptly. For IN
stance. small culvert would be washed
out. and the road supervisor would insist
that 1T could not be repaired without au-
thority from the commissioners. BY reason
from serving their routes. The enactment
of this law makes it possible to create an
emergency fund to repair bad roads,
bridges, etc. The department in Washing
ton seems to be very much pleased over
this action on the part of Indiana, and In
my opinion IL will result in giving prefer
ence to the extension of the service in this
State over other States that have no law
protecting roads traversed by rural free
delivery carriers. The enactment of this
law will give me an argument which no
other State in this division will have to
present to the department to extend serv-
ice in Indiana. As / now live here and
claim to be a 'Hoosier' my interest lies
with this State, hence L am anxious to see
the service extended here as rapidly as pos
sible. When 1 was placed in charge of
this division a year ago last December In
diana then had $50 routes in operation.
We now have, and in course of investiga-
ton, over one thousand routes In this
State. With the encoura cement received
from the Legislature We expect within the
next year to increase the number of routes
at least five hundred
