CONTROVERSY AT AN END
INDIANA COMMISSION PAssE FAVOR
ABLY ON sIxTY-KEY MACHINE.
John b. Cockrum withdraws Objec-
ton to County aging for United
States Standard Machines.

The controversy in regard to the United
States Standard voting machines has been
settled at last. The County Commissioner
some time ago purchased several sixty-key
machines for use in this county. The In
diana Voting Machine Commission had
passed on the forty-ive-key machine, but
not on the large one, and just previous to
the city election the commission met to
consider the question of passing the sixty
key machine, but failed at that time to
reach a decision.
A week or so ago, the commission not
having made it's decision known, John B.
Cockrum, representing the Columbia Vot-
ing Machine Company, filed a protest with
the County Commissioners against paying
for the United States Standar machines.
Yesterday the situation was clarified when
the Voting Machine Commission passed ia
yorably upon the sixty-key machines that
were used in the recent election. Thereupon
Mr.. Cockrum appeared before the commits
sioners and withdrew his objection to the
county paying for the machines. The mat
ter OF the legality of using the sixty-key
machines when they had not been passed
upon by the commission did not, it Is said,
enter into the question.
The Indiana Voting Machine Commission
is composed of Frank l.. Powell, of Madi-
son. Hugh Dougherty, OF Bluffton, and AL
bert r. m of Indianapolis.

EXHIBIT OF MINIATURES.
Work of Edward E. Kaufer to Be
Seen at ID store.

A cabinet filled with portraits on ivory
and porcelain, now in the Lieber art store,
forms an exhibit Of one Of the most inter-
esting branches OF art-that of a miniature
painting. Few people, even those least in
terested in art, can resist the charm which
the exquisite brush work n the dainty
colorings of the miniatures possess. The
collection OF exhibit is the work of Edward
E. Kaufer, a miniature painter of note,
whose studio is in Chicago. Mr.. Kaufer is
present to talk of his work with those in
terested. The exhibit will continue only
through to-day.
One Of the notable things about Mr..
Kaufer's work Is the richness of coloring
both In the subjects and in the backgrounds
rather an unusual quality in miniature
where the effect striven for is usually
dantiness and etherealness. Mr.. Kaufer's
work. however, is not wanting in delicacy-
his brush work Is exquisite, his management
OF tones admirable and the warmth given by
his deeper colorings Is an added beauty TO
his portraits.
One of the most beautiful of the
miniatures is that of Julia Arthur, now
Mrs. Cheney, Of Boston. whose brilliant
and glow. Another beautiful portrait is
that of a daughter of ex-senator ingalls,,
of Kansas. The studies of children are ex-
quisitely delicate and one small round locket
holds a baby head of great beauty. The
most charming picture of the collection is
a ~three-quarter length of a beautiful child
with pink ribbons at her shoulders hold
ing a basket of pink flowers. The drawing
is full of grace and the color is very lovely.
A number Of portraits of men are among
the collection and several of them are adj
mirable bits of drawing as well as of

TooMEY PooLROoM CASE WILL oC-
CuPY SEVERAL MORE DAYS.
Defense Begins to Introduce Testi-
money, and Col. E. II. Bryson, of
C~ovington, KY, Placed on stand.

Yesterday afternoon, In the Police Court,
the trial Of the Toomey poolrooIn case was
continued until 2 O'Clock to-day. and judg-
ing from the great number of witnesses yet
TO be a decision will hardly be
reached before the end of the week. Up
TO the present time the defense seems to
have the best OF the case and the State
has SO tar failed To prove that Toomey's
''poolroom" Is a gambling house.
A number OF witnesses were heard for the
State yesterday and IL was m to
show that the place had the reputation Of
being a gambling resort. Only two Of the
witnesses remembered where they had
heard of the bad reputation OF the place.,
the others being unable to say where or
at what time they heard that any gambling
was being done there. The two men who
remembered told who had spoken TO them
OF the reputation OF the poolroom. One OF
the men who had characterized IL as a
gambling room was Fred Heller. a we'll
known gambler, and the other was Smiley
N. Chambers.
After the State had placed all it's wit
nesses on the stand Col. L. r. Bryson, OF
Covington, KY. was placed on the stand
for the defense and he explained all the
His testimony tended to show that the
so-called gambling resort did a legitimate
business as a telegraph company rather
than the business OF q ~bookmaker for the
races. The defense. just before the adjourn
ment OF the court. offered to produce as
evidence OF the legality OF their business
their articles OF Incorporation. under the
statutes OF the State OF Indiana. but the
State objected, claiming that when a bust
ness was Illegally run and in open viola
ton OF the law the defense could not hide
behind their articles OF incorporation.
Judge Whallon reserved his decision as 10
the admissfbility xof the articles OF incor-
poratio1 until to-day, and court was ad-
1ourned until this afternoon at 2 o'clock.
The attorneys for TComey will to-day pre-
sent evidence 10 the court which will es-
tablish their claim. they say, that the bust
ness Of the defendant is perfectly legal
under the statutes OF the State. and before
they are through with their side OF the
case they expect to convince the Judge that
there has been no violation Of the law IN
Toomey's case and that his place of bust
ness is rot a gambling resort, as claimed by
the attorneys for the State.
Amone the witnesses called were several
prominent men who mad previously testified
before the grand jury.

OFFICIALS TO BE CALLED
OPERATOR BISHOPS TESTIMONY
THROWS LIGHT ON THE WRECK. 9
Railroad Executive VIII BE Placed
On the Stand To-Day or Nj
row-Sessfon Held I'm Secret.

I. III. Bishop. the Big Four operator at
Shelby street, testified before the coroner
yesterday at the resumption of the investi-
cation to fix the responsibility for the
wreck Of the Purdue special. Not a word of
the testimony was given out from the cor
oner's office, the coroner having decided to
hold the remaining sessions in secret. in
order that the public may not arrive at a
verdict before he announces the official
finding.
The fact developed, however, that Mr..
Bishops testimony did not mark the end of
the case, and that all the officials of the
Big Four in this city will be called to the
stand for further testimony. 1t is asserted
that Mr.. Bishop was able to show that he
cannot be held responsible for the disaster,
and that the blame must be placed higher
up. His story, it is known, gave the cor
oner several important facts.
Coroner Tutewiler expects to conclude the
investigation by Saturday. He belives that
II will require only a short time to return a
verdict after the testimony is all in and
after he has a chance to go over the evil
dence in detail. He states that the respon-
sibility of the wreck will be placed exactly
where ii belongs.

The new rule which was laid down by
Commissioners j. w. Yerkes. of the internal
revenue office at Washington, and which
went into effect on Nov. ], is causing the
internal revenue collectors a great deal of
trouble already among the tobacco men.
The new rule prohibits the sale of tobacco
In any way except from the original pack
ages. The retail tobacconist is now re-
quired to keep his tobacco in the caddy or
box In which he purchases 1t, and sell 1t
from that. BY the enforcement of this
rule the business of the peddlers who travel
through the country carrying small pack
ages for their customers will be greatly i'm
haired. They will now either have TO carry
the original package with them when they
go on their. rounds or bring the orders OF

AIR SHIP MAKES
SUCCESSFUL TRIP

San Francisco, Oct. 1S.-Dr. August
Greth, who for year past has been
uEostentatiously working on an air
ship, to-day surprised the residents of
San Francisco by sailing over their
heads for two ho,us, directing the ma
chine almost at will and demonstrate
ing that in many essentials he has
solved the problem of aerial navigation.
The ascension was made from lot
almost in the heart of the city. DR..
Greth attempted to encircle towering
ward, but found the currents, too strong
for his power and then turned in an op-
posite direction.
The winds carried him oceanward
and for time he hovered over the vi
cinity OF the Golden Gate, making var
ious successful trials of his steering
gear.
The currents threatened to take him
out over the Pacific and he decided to
make landing on the parade grounds
of the Preside military reservation, but
made the mistake of letting out too
much gas and he landed in the bay
about 200 feet from the shore.
A crew of the life-saving station in
the neigh borhood rescued the aeronaut
and his flying machine, which sus-
tained very little damage by the unfor-
tunate termination of the vayage.
The balloon of Greth's aerial con-
trivance is cigar shaped and has a
capacity of $4,000 feet of gas, with a
lifting capacity of 1,s00 to 1000 pounds
The car of the balloon is similar in
construction to that used by Santos
Dumont, and weighs about 800 pounds.
