INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb 21-
Former Mayor Taggart of this city.
who attended the Tilden club banquet
In New York, and announced upon his
arrival home that David B. Hill would
be A candidate for the presidency, and
Mr.. Cleveland would support him, stat
ed today that Hill would certainly be
In the race and that Indiana would
send delegation to the national con-
ventiOn for him.
Mr.. Taggart's attention was called
to the candidacy Of Judge Parker, and
asked If it was true that Hill was
backing him. He said that he did not
take any stock in that story, for he
had been in communication with
prominent men in New York, and 1t
was the understanding that Hill him
self would be a candidate Mr.. Tag
gart said that he had just returned
from Washington. and he is convinced
that the party is getting together. and.
as long as times are as good as they
are now, the money question will not
be in politics.
Asked as to what action BRYAN
would take, he said that he believed
Bryan would support any man whom
the party would nominate. Mr.. Tag
gart does not conceal the fact that he

OMAHA SETTLES
WITH TRAINMEN
Schedule Providing for In
creases, Some as High as
25 Per Cent, Arranged.

The Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis
& Omaha is the first road having head
quarters in the Twin Cities to reach a
settlement with the committees of con-
dUctorS and trainmen who have been
negotiating for 20 per cent increase
since Jan. 5. The final settlement was
reached late yesterday afternoon when
q detailed schedule providing minute
regulations for each run and division
on the road was signed by the commit
teemen and General Superintendent A.
w. Trenholm. The schedule will be-
come effective as soon as it is approv-
ed by the grand officers of the Train
mems unions and the president of the
road.
The schedule provides an exhaustive
set OF regulations and establishes the
compensation of the conductors and
brakemen on every run on the. road
The most important concessions gain
ed by the men were substantial In
creases in wages. On some runs the
advance is as high as 25 per cent.
The passenger conductors, who have
been receiving from $50 to $12O per
month, will, under the new schedule,
receive $112 to $135. The wages Of the
freight conductors, who are paid on
the mileage basis, will average S115.
The following changes were made in
the wage schedule of the freight con-
ductorS and brakemen: Through
freight, conductors, from So per 100
miles to $3.45; brakemen, from So to
$3.50. Way freight conductors are in
creased 10 per cent, and branch line
runs will receive an average increase
of % per cent. The Chicago yard reg
ulations were adopted which will mean
an increase of 121a per cent for the
men affected.
The double e-header proposition
which 1t was feared would prove a
source of difficulty, was compromised
to the satisfaction of the men and the
company. The men asked for a regu-
lation providing for double pay on the
constructive mileage basis for all runs
made on trains hauled by double head
ers. The officials were at first in
clined to view the request as an arbi-
trary demand, but the men explained
the reasons for their request and it
was considered more favorably. The
result Of the negotiations on this prop
osition between the officials of the
Omaha and the committees was a COM
promise whereby the men were given
higher increases on several of the runs
Certain runs were advanced 25 per
cent in lieu of the men relinquishing
their demands in regard to the double

cause some leaks afterward. It also re-
suited In some of the members declar-
ing themselves unalterably in favor Of
getting down to business.
Some of the committeeman seem to
be working on the theory that If too
much activity is not shown the report
of the committee will come late enough
to do no harm. More Of them are not
disposed to submit longer to that pol
icy, and yesterday declared that the
investigation must be commenced and
finished before the legislature ad-
journed.
The result Of the not altogether
pleasant arguments seems to be an
agreement for division of the labor be-
tween the two subcommittee and the
employment of sufficient assistants to
get the work in shape for a complete
report March 25.
A member Of the committee, after the
meeting, said:
II guess now we will be able to dem
onstrate that the committee On public
accounts is not always an aggregation
Of f1gureheads. They have not had an
investigation for six years, and now 1t
looks as If we would be able to stir
some of the dry bones before spring"
Another memmebr, questioned about
the capitol audit, was inclined to think
that no irregularities will be shown, but
said: Il guess we will keep them busy
explaining for awhile" Still another
member Of the committee admitted that
the work Of general investigation had
been hampered by lack of energy in the
committee, and two more intimated
that something would be doing If they
were compelled to hire assistants with
their own money. They are entirely
satisfied with the manner in which the
expert is handling the capitol audit
and expect his report, which is said,
will be entirely comprehensive, next
week.

George j. Hammond, manager Of the
Coe Commission company, of Mime
apolis, has been exonerated of the
charge of maintaining a gambling
house. Judge Holt, of the municipal
court, yesterday rendered the decision
in the case of the State VS.. Hammond.
The court holds, in a rather notable
decision, that while dealing in options
is essentially gambling, it is not SO
within the intent of the law covering
gambling, as no mention is made in the
law OF such transactions as coming un-
DER the head of gambling games.
Judge Holt says: TT must be con-
ceded, l think, that one who enters a
contract to buy grain with no inten-
ton that there shall be delivery, does
not commit an offense against any or
d1nance or statute of this state, although
the contract cannot be enforced. The
parties who make the contracts or
transactions set forth In the stipula-
uon, cannot be punished for gambling
That being true the house wherein the
transactions are made ought not to be
held gambling house."
The court quoted the opinion in
Shaw VS.. Clark, written by Judge Coo
ley, of Michigan, in support of the
above view, and in which the allega-
t1ons set forth were similar to those in
this case. Other authorities are quoted
In the decision
This releases Hammond from all i'm
mediate measures of prosecution that
have been inspired by the MINNEAPOLIS

BABcocK SAYS, WORK.
Speaker Successfully Opposes Two
Days Recess.

The house, with thirty-eight mem
bers absent yesterday morning, dis
posed of rather heavy general orders
before adjourning until o'clock Mon
day afternoon.
Mr.. Gillette, Hennepin, wanted an
adjournment until Tuesday morning,
but DR.. Babcock interposed strenuous
objections and his arguments prevail
ed. The speaker, instead of putting
Mr.. Gillette's motion for adjournment,
took the house to task for a disposition
toward dilatory tactics.
He pointed out that an unusually
large number of bills had been intro
duced and he insisted that it is up to
the house to buckle down to steady
work. With three special orders sched-
ueled for this week, the speaker re-
fused to listen to a tWo-day recess.
Mr.. Morley wanted the special order
on his educational institution bill post
poned until a week from Tuesday in
order, he said, to enable interested
parues to prosecute a more thorough
investigation. The house consented to
give him until Friday, but turned q
deaf ear to postponement for a week.
Only seven bills were introduced. and
three of those were of curative or local
import. OF the fifteen bills on general
orders, five were recommended for pas
sage, among them the Larson bill pro
viding for red gasoline cans The bill is
amended to become operative July
and the minimum penalty for infrac-
ton is left at the discretion of the trial
judge.

Judge Finehout handed down a de-
c1s1on yesterday in the case of Lind
sey against L. A. Hughes, wherein the
pIalnt1H sought to recover on a note
for $l22.6O made by Hughes in favor of
Carl T. WalstrOm. The case was tried
In the civil division of the municipal
court several days ago.
Hughes conducts a brokerage busi-
ness, where margins are sold on stocks
and grain, and in settling with Wal
strom on q speculation the latter had
made, Hughes gave his note as part
payment Of the maount. Walstrom
went to Sweden and left the note in
the hands of John A. Logerman who,
IN turn, gave 1t over to a st. Paul at
torney, who stated that he was buying
1t for man named Lindsey living in
the East The note, it is claimed, later
fell into the hands of a Minneapolis
broker, who had had trouble with
hughes, and suit was brought to COM
pei Hughes to take up the note.
Upon the showing that the note had
been purchased with a full knowledge
of what it had been given for, Judge
Finehout refused to order a Judgment
entered, holding that the note was void
for the reason that it had originally
been given in payment of a gambling
transaction, and that 1t had not been
shown that 1t was In the hands Of an
innocent purchaser.
While the suit was brought in the
name of Lindsey, presumably the pur-
chaser, the defense claimed there was
no such man, and contended that a
straw name had been used for the pur-
pose of hiding the identity Of the real
plaintiff.

THEATRICAL TRUST
RECEIVES DEATH BLOW
Managers Will Book Attractions
Through Independent Agency.

Special to The Globe.
CHICAGO, Feb. 21.-"The despotism
of the theatrical trust is at an end. !"
declares Actor James X. Hackett, who
is now appearing at Powers theater, a
trust" playhouse. The death blow to
the combination that has successfully
controlled bookings, according to Mr..
Hackett, is dealt by Weber & Fields in
their announcement that they will
book all attractions in the future
through the Independent booking agen-
cy.
There is nothing In It," said Mr..
Hackett. 1T simply means that the
trust has expired. Other influential
theatrical managers whose names 1 am
not yet at liberty to announce will
join the Independent movement in q
short time. The detection from the
trust of Weber & Fields will give the
Independent circuit strong new attrac-
tions and will extend the circuit by the
addition of the new Globe theater,
Boston, the West End theater in New
York and a new theater in Brooklyn,
all under the control of Weber &
Fields.
The booking scheme of the new con-
cern, far from complete as yet, is nkv-
ertheless sufficiently developed to en-
able theatrical companies to book a
consecutive season in the principal
cities of the United States in independ-
ent houses.
