REFoRMAToRY BILL IN HOUSE.


The House committee on the affairs OF the
Indiana Reformatory. to which the bill
for the reorganization of the reformatory
was referred yesterday, held a meeting last
evening at which the bill was discussed.
but no final action was taken on IL. The
committee will hold another meeting this
morning, before the House convenes and Il
was the general impression last night that
the committee will decide TO report on the
bill at to-day's session and that il will rec
omnend it for passage. Chairman Bearss
said last night that he did not think the
bill would be reported to-day. but he was
not positive.
The bill will probably be reported just as
soon as the administration forces say the
word and give the high sign" II is gener-
ally believed that the report will be unani-
nous in favor of the bill and Chairman
Bearss said that the general. sentiment OF
seemed to be that the bill should pass.
If the bill is reported for passage to-day.
and advanced TO engrossment IL may mean
that the powers back of IL have determined
that il shall be rushed through and that a
session will be held on Saturday TO take
final action. 1t is the impression among
some of the members that the friends OF
the bill are afraid TO let the representatives
go home over Sunday until the bill has been
passed, the attitude OF the press and
people over the State is such that IL the
members get in touch with their constit-
uents many of them will not dare 10 come
back here and vote for the bill.
AS the situation now stands In the House
the opposition has fifteen OF the Republican
members who have declared that they are
opposed to the BILL while the administration
forces have the support OF at least twelve
OF the members of the minority. Both sides
claim that this is not what the final lineup
will show. and both claim that they win
make inroads on the others forces. The
friends of the bill said yesterday that they
had assurances that when IL came TO
show down there would not be fifteen Re-
publicans against the bill and that they
would have at least half of the Democrats.
On the other hand the opposition leaders
claimed that they were gaining recruits
every hour that action on the bill Is de-
ferred.
The programme for the Democrats In the
House at present is for them 10 divide their
votes equally. The Senate minority in eau
Gus decided to split its vote. and each MEM
ber was assigned 10 vote certain way.
The assignments were made by lot. I'VE

cupied by travel in the East" said Mr..
Mitchell. land all that / know of the lndi-
ana coal situation Is from hearsay. After
being invited to attend meeting OF this
commission / made some inquiries. and
these led me to believe that the shortage
In the coal supply is due 10 entirely natural
causes.
There has been greater production OF
coal in Indiana during the past year than
during the year before The miners have
worked more steadily and the mines have
turned out much more coal. This coal has
been consumed much more rapidly for
many reasons. Among them is the fact
that the strike of the anthracite miners
caused shortage of 100000 tons of coal.
To fill this hole about twice as much soft
coal was required. The hard coal is equiv
alent a fuel TO about twice as much In
diana bituminous, and this accounts for a
shortage of about twice the amount OF the
anthracite shortage. OF the anthracite coal
mined in the East about II per cent is
shipped West. The balance goes TO the
East, and the fact that not enough coal in
the total production last summer was
available for the Eastern market when
on the soft coal district to make up the
shortage.
SOFT COAL SHIPPED EAST.
I'm this manner much soft coal which ordi-
narily is shipped. to the West was sent East
and sold for a higher price in the better
market. L suppose that Indiana coal was
shipped the same way and this of course,
hurt the situation in this State.
Another reason for the shortage is that
the increase in the number of manufac-
tories has caused a greater demand for
coal This is true of the East and West
and can be said TO be one of the chief
causes of the present stringency in the coal
supply The strike is responsible for some
of the shortage, so is the weather and so
Is the present prosperous condition of the
country.
Governor Durbin suggested TO Mr.. Mitch
ell that one of the operators had stated to
the committee that he could not get miners
to work his mine He said that the initia-
ton fee demanded by the various miners
locals was so large as to be prohibitive. He
said that $25 and $50 were the fees demand
ed by unions and this kept many men
from working in the mines. Many of the
operators depended in the winter time
the employment of farmers and other per-
agreements with the mine workers, could
no longer get them unless locals admitted
them to membership. Governor Durbin
asked Mr.. Mitchell to explain this.
Mr. Mitchell said that the miners were
the men responsible for the initiation fees
charged and the size of the fee depended
entirely on the strength of the organization
He said he thought an average of So was
the fee charged in Indiana; he had known
1t to be as low as so cents. and would not
be surprised If some locals had charged
$50. These were matters for the locals to
settle and were not interfered with by the
national organization. He said that the
mine workers union received 10 cents from
each member monthly; the district head
assessment of cents month for Incl

PARIS, Jan. 23-From Caracas the cor
respondent of Matin says. in dispatch
upon the bombardment of Fort San Carlos,
that the fort has been totally destroyed.
and that the limited range of the forts
guns prevented them from being effective
against the German cruisers. The Panther
has entered Lake Maracaibo. according to
the Matin, but the other vessels were pre-
vented from following by their greater
draught.
The British cruiser Tribune and the Ital-
ian cruiser Carlo Alberto are anchored be-
fore Laguayra. The latter is in communi-

PRESIDENTS POLICY.


MACON, Ga, Jan. 22.-Harry Stillwell
Edwards, postmaster of Macon, returned
to-day from Washington, where he had
gone to consult with the President with re-
gard to the government service in Georgia.
Mr.. Edwards says he has the Presidents
permission to announce his policy in the
following language:
1.-The spirit of the Constitution forbids
that any man shall be refused Office on
account of race or color; IL also forbids
that any man shall ask Office on account
of race or color. The whole matter resolves
itself within the party, back into question
of character, ability and fitness and of
previous service, or whether the indorse-
ment of the community at interest shall
constitute the best test. Where a suitable
member of the party cannot be found the
best man obtainable will be chosen
Mr.. Edwards says he takes this positive
statement of the President to refer chiefly
to communities where local officials are
to be appointed and not TO officers whose
functions involve States and districts.

Diamonds for Sale.
 A new company on the cooperative plan has been formed in Bisbee. J. A. McGill is it's organizer, and the purpose of the Southwestern Cooper ative Diamond company is to sell dia- monds on the installment plan. There is a similarity between the theory Of the new concern and endowment in surance. The purchaser of diamon pays so much a month for given number of months, when he is en- titled to a gem valued at a higher figure than the purchaser is called on to pay. The company held it's first meeting Saturday night, and elected officers and a board of directors. The officers of the company are J. B. Broaddus, vice president; F. c. Fen derson, secretary J. A.

As he lay sense less beside the track, some one stole his horse. The doctors here bit, and several of them gave the man money. Later the same individual claimed to be A. l..

Prenty Acquitted.

The case against J. F.. Prenty, heard in Justice Browns court yesterday afternoon, resulted in the acquittal Of the defendant The warrant for the arrest of Prenty was issued from the office of Justice Mcdonald, but Attor- ney French, apearing for Prenty, yes terday filed an affidavit requesting a change of venue. This was granted, and accordingly the case came up for hearing in Justice Browns court at 1 o'clock. Windt, the complaining wit ness, was the only one that testified that he had been hit by Prenty. Cir cumstances certainly pointed to that conclusion, but the testimony of Windt was not of the convincing kind On the contrary, it was shown that Windt had provoked the assault, and accordingly the jury returned a yer dict of not guilty. The following jur ors sat on the case: Joseph Chisholm | foreman; Louis Briggs, R. ,. Ryan John Keefer. Joe Hayes, Henry Bran dis. Charles May, Ben Williams, J. E Lilies, R. s. Bennett, A.
