TALKED WITH GOVERNOR
GEORGE A. CUNNINGHAM, OF Ev-
ANsvILLE, IN THE CITY.
He Deplores the Recent Exaggerated
Report. About His City-Dis-
charge of Militiamen.

George A. Cunningham, of Evansville, one
of the leading citizens Of the city recently
given over to rioting and lawlessness. was
here yesterday, and in the course of the
day held conference with Governor Dur
bin in regard TO conditions at his home. He
informed the Governor that the reports that
large number of the members of the
Evansville militia company have lost their
positions because Of the service during the
riots have been greatly exaggerated. Only
three or four men have been discharged,
he says. and they have been promptly taken
care of by the Evansville Business As
ISOLATION. The association will see that
they have employment and that they do not
suffer for the performance of their duty
as members of the National Guard The
report that several men were discharged
by the breweries for this reason is alto
gether erroneous. says Mr.. Cunningham.
as the men had been laid off week before
they were called out as soldiers to suppress
the rioting.
Mr.. Cunningham deplores the exaggerated
reports that have been circulated regarding
conditions at Evansville. He says that
Evansville win receive entirely too much
notoriety If only the bare facts are stated
in regard TO the disorder and its results
while the distortion and magnifying of these
facts may do the city incalculable damage
The events of the week of July have
proved a severe, but wholesome, lesson to
the city, he says, and he apprehends no
further trouble of such character. Law
and order have been restored and steps are
being taken TO rid the city of conditions
and of an element in the population that
have been largely responsible for the recent
unfortunate occurrences.
1t was reported In an afternoon paper
that Governor Durbin would take some ac-
ton In regard to the discharge of militia
men by their employers, but the Governor
does not confirm this report. While he
regrets that any business man in Indiana
should be SO short-Sighted and so unjust
as to take action of this kind, he repeats
his recent statement to the Journal that
there Is nothing he can do in an official
way under the circumstances

LEAVE FOR MAINE WOODS
LOGsDON AND LIEBER WILL HAVE A
TALK WITH BEvERIDGE.
"Do ms You Would BE Done By" Will
he the Keynote of Their Ap-
peal-PoliticaI Notes.

Edwin d. Logsdon, chairman OF the Re
publican city committee and Albert Leber.
president of the indianapolis Brewing Com
pany left at 6:25 last night for Boston.
After stay OF week or ten days In
Boston they will go to the Maine woods and
spend few days with Senator Albert j.
Beveridge who is enjoying his summer va
cation there.
Logsdon and Lieber are not going entirely
for fun They expect to have a pleasant
time in Boston and they may run down TO
Atlantic City. n. J., for surf bathing, but
the main purpose of their trip, 1T is stated
authoritively. is to have heart-to-heart
talk with the junior senator on the local
political situation. Both Mr.. Logsdon and
Mr.. Lieber are close personal friends OF Mr..
Beveridge and their advice has been of
benefit TO the senator on several occa-
sions.
1t is known that some pressure has been
brought to bear on Mr.. Beveridge to deter
him from taking an active part in the
coming city campaign. He has been asked
by Republicans who not In sympathy
with the present administration TO keep
out of Ii altogether and not TO make any
speeches. 1t was reported that the senator
had tacitly agreed to hold himself aloof,
and therein Is found the reason for the ex-
pedition OF Logsdon and Lieber.
1t is known shat they will represent to
the senator that his services would be in
valuable to the Republicans in the coming
campaign, and that he cannot afford TO fold
his hands and let other people do the work,
especially in view of the fact that he has
q race himself to make before many months
and he will need the active help of the men
who require his energy and eloquence now
Logsdon and Lieber are confident that they
can make Mr.. Beveridge see the wisdom or
getting actively into the contest.
While Longdon is away the committee
headquarters will be I'm charge OF Charles
~. Elliott and Oran Muir, the latter secre-
tary OF the city committee. Between them
they will attempt to straighten out the pre-
cinct tangle and place the Republican and
Democratic precinctmen I'm the districts
where they belong under the arrangement.
Until Longsdon returns there will be very
little doing so far as the Republican sit
uatiOn is concerned. Elliott's successor on
the city ticket will not be selected for at
least two weeks. Longsdon said last night
that there is no necessity for haste In
naming a man TO take Elliotts place, and
that he probably would not call a meeting
of the committee for two weeks, maybe
longer.

Of the Way and Ran Into Him.

George j. Williams, 429 Puryear street.

he was riding last night. by collision with
Brightwood street car Nc. 746. and suffered
a number of serious bruises and cuts as the
result OF the experience. in addition to be-
ing run over by the rear wheels of the
street sweeper on which he had been riding
The accident happened at the corner of
Massachusetts, avenue and ST. Clair street
and Is said to- have been the result OF an
argument between the mctorman of the car
and Williams as TO which had the right of
way. the street car or the street sweeper.
Williams says that he was sweeping the
center OF the street when the car ap-
preached from behind. and the motorman
demanded that he get out OF the way. say
ing that ~ IS he did he would turn on full
power anc ran over him. Williams told the
street-car 80 piOye that he had the right OF
way as far ne next corner. and refused
TO leave tn >rack. The motorman then
turned on tis power and ran into the
sweeper. knocking Williams off his seat and
under the wbcals of the sweeper. In falling
Williams tn ed the lever that raises the
rotary brush IN his machine. and In that
way avoided 1eing cut by the heavy
eristles.

and blamed him wholly for the affair,
claiming that his action was malicious.

KAISER MAY BE NEXT CLERK.
Present Deputy Spoken of Prominent.
Iy as nm Available Candidate.

William Kaiser. deputy city clerk, Is per-
haps the most prominently mentioned of
those who covet the shoes Of Charles N.
Elliott. There has been a quiet boom de-
veloping for Mr.. Kaiser during the past few
days, and his position is one of great
strength.
1t is pointed out that Kaiser would be
valuable candidate for two good reasons
In the first place. he is German who is
popular with Germans and who would be
able to capture many German Democratic
votes. In the second place. he lives on the
South Side. and IL is believed a candidate
from the South Side for the office OF city
clerk would be a tower OF strength TO the
rest of the ticket AS TO his ability there
are no two opinions. He has performed his
duties faithfully and ably.
William Bogardus. deputy city controller,
Is spoken of I'm connection with Elliott s
place. He is close to the organization and
a warm personal friend OF the men who do
things. In addition. Bogardus has made a
remarkably fine record in the controller s
office.
IL is expected that candidates will spring
up like mushrooms during the next few
weeks. The negroes may have man to
submit and II Is said petition to Chair
man Logsdon has been prepared asking
that the colored voters be recognized with
a candidate TO succeed Elliott.

FOUND MURDERER'S BODY
WORKMEN HORRIFIED IN PHYsIO-
MEDICAL COLLEGE.
Cadaver OF Murderer William Jack
son, weighted by a stone, Dis
covered I'm Barrel of Brine.

Much excitement was caused near Mas
sachusetts avenue and Alabama street yes
terday afternoon by the finding of the
body of William Jackson, the Evansville
negro murderer. in the cellar of the old
Physio- Medical College at East North and
Alabama streets.
Laborers who are razing the old building
discovered the body OF Jackson in a barrel
of brine. The barrel was caulked and
standing on end when the laborers found
ii in a dark corner of the cellar and
they did not know II contained the
body OF man. When they knocked out
the top of the barrel they jumped back in
horror at the sight of the body of jackson,
weighted down in the brine by large
stone.
A few boys were playing in the building
and ii was only a short time until many
people heard OF the laborers' grewsome
find. Many curious men and women and
small boys climbed down the creaky, dusty
stairway leading TO the cellar TO look into
the barrel
number of venturesome boys tried to
take the body out of the barrel by tying
wires and ropes about the neck of the
cadaver, but the big stone was in the way
and the body is in the barrel still.
DR.. e. n. Harold. president OF the Physio-
Medical College. stated last night the body
of Jackson was secured by the institution
from the State. BY mistake, DR.. Harold
said, the body was left in the cellar of the
vacated building. The equipment of the COL
lege was removed from the building several
weeks ago. The body will be removed from
there tomorrow and put in storage.
William jackson was hanged at Michi-
gan City about a month ago for numbering
a watchman at Evansville, where both
lived The watchman had about 50 and
Jackson killed him for the small sum. Jack
son was executed at the same time Ora
Copenhaver, the Indianapolis murderer, was
hanged. q
