In Austria marriages between
Christians and Jews, and between
Christians and in6dels, are pro-
hibited. Recently a marriage be-
tween a protestant woman and a
man who said he had no particular
creed, was annulIed by the supreme
court. How long would such pro-
hibition stand in America, and
how long would our courts sustain
such laws. The prohibition
would soon become a dead letter
and the law pronounced unconsti-
tutional and contrary to public
policy.

The state University.

The enrolment Of students at
the University Of the State Of Mis-
souri, bids fair this year, to exceed
that Of all former years in its his
tory. Since last commencement
nearly 1850 students have been en-
rolled at Columbia, which exceeds
by I2o the number that matricu-
lated at the corresponding time
last year. The University author
tiles have every reaso 10 believe
from the outlook, that the enroll
ment in all departments. including
the School of Mines at Rolla. will
reach almost or quite, 1000.
During the past year many steps
leading to the improvement Of all
Departments of the University
have been taken. Eighteen pro-
lessors, assistant professors. in
struetors, and assistants filling new
positions have been appointed for
this fall. About sa5o,oo has
been spent for Improvements dur
ing the past two years, and prob
ably as much more will be spent
in the next two years in extending
and perfecting the facilities for the
higher education Of the young
men and women Of the state.

A new POINT is RAISED
CITIZENS MAY HAVE VIRTUALLY A
MORTGAGE ON GAS COMPANY.
Are Advised that Franchise
Given by the City May Have
that Significance.

Directors Of the Consumers Gas Trust
Company who believe that the rights of
the public should be considered before the
interests of the stockholders or certificate
holders nave been advised by several law
yers that the city Of Indianapolis has in
effect what is really a mortgage upon the
assets Of the company within the city
limits.
The point is a new one, and one that the
four new directors of the company do not
intend TO let pass without full investiga-
ton as to its possibilities. They have been
Informed that the franchise granted the
ompany by the city virtually made the
citizens of Indianapolis owners of the pipe
lines and other property in the city. and
that it in effect provides that when the
stockholders have received back their in
vestment, with s per cent interest, the
property of the company passes TO the city.
The suggestion has not been gone into
thoroughly, but it is one of the factors that
will be used by the directors who stand for
the people.
The action of A. A Barnes in voting
with the Frenzel-Lyman faction against
the propositions of Maj. w. j.. Richards
ard the new directors, has developed that
Nh. Barnes pooled all his stock, with the
vestment Company, which concern has con-
troll of the stock of the Consumers Com
pany. 1t is asserted that Mr.. Barnes acted
upon the hint of counsel for the company
in retaining one share, otherwise he could
not serve as director.

INDIANIANS IN OKLAHOMA.
The Annual of Former
Hoosiers an Enjoyable Event.

The Indiana people living in Oklahoma
are loyal to this commonwealth. The Okla
home State Capital, in a recent issue, said:
THE annual reunion of the Hoosiers of
Oklahoma, which occurred yesterday at
Island Park, and was attended by about
200 Indianians from all over Oklahoma,
proved to be a most enjoyable event. All
were enthusiastic, the speeches were of a
high order, the music was fine, and the
basket dinner was thoroughly enjoyed by
all. AS a rule, Indiana day is one of the
most pleasant for the Hoosier, and this
year was no exception.
There were a large number present at
the opening of the programme at 10 o'clock
yesterday morning. After the invocation
John III. Cotteral, president of the associa-
ton, gave the annual address, reviewing
the work and progress of the society. In
his address he stated that il had been
proposed TO have James Whitcomb Riley
come to the Territory next year on his lee
ture tour, and suggested that, as he would
be here at the time of the annual Hoosier
meeting, he should be placed in charge,
with the privilege to manage affairs as he
chose. The meeting throughout was some
what of a Riley meeting, and the PROPOSE
ton to secure Indiana's great poet of the
common people for the next reunion was
enthusiastically received
THE chief address of the day was deliv-
cred by Dick Morgan on the subject, In
diana and Oklahoma, Our Birthplace and
Abiding Place The address is full of good
thoughts, ably expressed, facts concerning
both states. strong arguments for state
hood. ETC.

BOARD is RESTRAINED
TEMPORARY INJUNCTION AGAINST
OFFICIALS OF THE COUNTY.
Judge Anderson's Ruling on the Seven
Bills I'm Chancery Filed by the
National Banks.

Judge Anderson. Of the Federal Court.
yesterday granted a temporary injunction
against Harry 3. Smith, Armin c. Koehne,
Marion Eaton, Arson ]. Gardner and James
L Barnett. comprising the Marion County
Board OF Review, restraining them from
collecting assessments levied upon the cap
ital stock. surplus and undivided profits OF
the seven national banks OF the city.
Seven bills in chancery were filed on Oct.
Is by the national banks. the prayer OF each
asking that an Injunction be issued to pre-
vent the County Board OF Review from
collecting these assessments on the ground
that the law passed by the last General
Assembly authorizing the board to collect
such assessments was unconstitutional.
The banks claimed hat by the statutes Of
the United States relating TO banking asso-
Citations they could only be assessed for real
estate owned by them. John CT. Williams
was the attorney for the banks.
The defendants, by their attorneys, At
torney General Charles W. Miller and Mar
tin NJ. Hugg, yesterday filed separate de-
murrers to each OF the bills and the de-
murrers were argued. The defense con-
tended that there was no diversity of citi-
zenship and that points at issue do not
arise under the Constitution OF the United
States and therefore Judge Anderson did
not have Jurisdiction over the subject mat
ter. The demurrers were overruled and
the Injunction granted.

engaged In the task of making Englishmen
times In Industrial matters, and that they
have very much TO learn from Americans
and American institutions
About a year ago MIR. Mosely brought a
party Of English labor leaders TO this coun-
try and accompanied them in an inspection
of the plant of the Cash Register Company,
with the idea OF impressing on them not
merely the treatment of laboring men by
American manufacturers. but the methods
BY which Americans gain commercial sue
cess. The present trip of the schoolmen to
the same plant * part of the same idea.
The National Cash Register Company, in
addition TO being a tremendously large
manufacturing plant, is a manual training
school on a gigantic scale. Training schools
for young men are established there in
which instruction is given in different
trades. The result OF the visit of Mr.. Nose
ly and the labor leaders 10 the Cash Reg
lister plant was the publication OF a volume
of important reports, which have already
had an effect upon the methods of English
manufacturers Much is expected from the
present visit that will be made in the next
day or two by the educators.
The National Cash Register Company
furnished a private car to the commission,
and il took the members from Indianapolis
to Dayton last night. The car was deco
rated with American and British flags, and

some of the luxuries of nfe.

of the State Board of Agriculture, was in
the city yesterday confering with Secretary
Downey in regard to the ffty-second an

DECISION OF GOVERNOR
HE WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH
DEATH SENTENCE ON HOOVER.
Executive Considers Case Carefully,
the Penalty-HoOver's Crime.

Governor Durbin last night announced
that he had decided not to interfere in the
sentence of death imposed upon Edward
Hoover, who killed his father-in-law, Frank
Sutton, in this city several months ago.
Hoover was first sentenced to be hanged in
October, but a stay of execution was
granted while the Supreme Court was con-
sidering the case. The lower court was
finally affirmed, and the date set for
Hoover's execution is Nov. 13.
Hoover's wife asked Governor Durbin to
commute the sentence to life Imprisonment,
but last night, after having carefully gone
over the case. he decided not to interfere.
When Hoover's case was decided by the
Supreme Court all the members of the SUI
preme Bench concurred in Judge Dowling's
opinion. The latter declared that every
legal element of murder in the first degree,
malice, generalization and elaboration in
carrying a deadly purpose into execution
were Clearly established by the proof"
The contention of the State was that
Hoover was not insane when he
the crime, and was drinking. Judge Dowl-
ing, In reviewing the case, points out that
counsel did not deny that the verdict was
right upon the evidence, but counseIs OBJ
~jections related to the admission and ex-
clnsion of evidence and the manner in
which the court gave instructions. Most
Of the evidence objected TO tended to show
that at times when Hoover was quarrel
some he was under the influence of liquor.
The evidence in the case showed that
Hoover's wife had left him, and that the
killing of his father-in-law occurred after
the separation. The shooting took place in
a house on West Maryland street. Hoover
and his wife had lived there, but after their
separation she went to live with her par
ents on their farm. The day of the killing
Mrs. Hoover's father, Frank Sutton, went
to the Maryland-street house to move the
Hoover goods to the farm. While he was
carrying out the goods Hoover came along
and had some words with Sutton. In the
midst of the argument he drew a pistol
and shot Sutton dead.

Testimony VIII BE Kept Secret In Or
der Int the Official Verdict May
Not Be Anticipated.
BISHOP KEY TO THE MYSTERY
SHELBY-STREET OPERATOR WILL
TELL HIS STORY TO-DAY.
If He Was Not Notified by Yardmaster
the Blame VIII BE Placed
Higher Up.

The coroner's investigation to fix the re-
sponsibility for the wreck of the Purdue spe-
cial train will be resumed to-day. The most
important witness will be L. II. Bishop, the
operator at Shelby street, who has been in
Nebraska at the bedside of his sick wife.
Mr.. Bishop will arrive this morning and will
be placed on the stand as early as possible
in the day.
The principal purpose of the coroner will
be to determine from the testimony Of
Operator Bishop whether he received an
order from General Yardmaster John @.
Hicks notifying him of the coming of the
special train from Purdue. If it be found
that the order was not received from the
general yardmaster the responsibility will
have to be placed higher up.
WILL WITHHOLD TESTIMONY.
Coroner Tutewiler has decided to withhold
the testimony to be submitted from now
on. He believes that If any more testimony
is published the public will be returning a
verdict before he is able to give an official
one. He has no desire to conceal important
facts other than to protect himself as an
official with a sacred duty to perform.
The investigation is rapidly narrowing to
a close. Inc testimony VIII De all IN IN
three days and Mr.. Tutewiler expects to re-
turn his verdict definitely fixing the re-
sponsibility for the frightful disaster by
next Saturday. Probably fifteen or twenty
witnesses remain to be examined, a number
of whom are officials of the Big Four. The
investigation has reached the point where
the train crews are practically abs0lved
from blame, and where the coroner already
has the sword of Damocles suspended above
the heads of more consequential persons.
Reports from the hospitals yesterday in
dicated that the young men injured in the
wreck are progressing to the satisfaction of
the doctors.
