Not Elect an Assistant.

CLEVELAND, Aug. u.-W. S. Stone, of
elected to fill the unexpired term of grand
chief engineer of Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers. made vacant by the death
of z. NJ. Arthur and A. b. Youngson
After the election the executive commit
tee of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers said that no fear should be felt
of any radical changes I'm the policy of the
brotherhood; that the new grand chief Will
carry out the conservative policy advo-
Gated by p. NJ. Arthur i'm each essential
Come, let us reason together" and ''Do
unto others as you would they should do
unto you," will continue to be the policy
Of the order the committee stated.
No election will be made TO the office of
first assistant grand chief until the general
convention of Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers at Los Angeles, in 1904.
Mr.. Stone reached Cleveland yesterday IN
response to a telegram. and was then made
aware of the purpose for which he had been
called here. When he had signied his
Willingness to accept the position, his cleo
tion followed.
Warren Sanford Stone was born i'm Aims

ary. 1860 He has been railroading for twen-
ty-four years on that portion of the Rock
ion. He has been chairman of the general

WORK IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Further Changes Possible, but Cannot
BE Forecasted-The Things secre-
tary Root Has Accomplished.

OYSTER BAY, n. Y, Aug 11.-Elihu
Root will resign secretary of war, the
resignation TO take effect about the 1st of
next January. He will be succeeded.
less present plans miscarry, by Judge Will
liam H. Taft, now Governor of the Philip
pines.
For a long time Secretary Root has de-
sired for pressing private reasons TO retire
from the Cabinet When Mr.. Roosevelt
became President Secretary Root indicated
his wish 20 leave the Cabinet within a year.
but his friendship for the President and his
interest in pending questions before the
War Department caused him to remain for
a longer period than he had intended.
Even now he has not indicated to the
President just when he may leave the Cab
met. but he and the President have dis
cussed the subject many times and have
a mutual understanding regarding it. 1t is
not expected the secretary will present his
resignation TO the President before he
leaves for England to take up the work of
the Alaskan boundary commission. He has
not presented his resignation yet and has
not informed the President when he will
present it 1t can be said the President
expects the country will have the benefit of
Secretary Roots services for several
months, certainly until the beginning of
next year.
That Governor Taft will be Mr.. Root $
successor as secretary of war there can
De little or doubt. He Is familiar with
many. of the problems which the secretary
at war will have 10 meet and solve, he is a
warm personal friend OF the President
who has an abiding confidence i'm his ability
and patriotism, and IL is understood that he
would welcome the change involved.
OF course. his appointment as secretary
OF war would necessitate the appointment of
a new president of the Philippine commits
sion. In all probability Gen. Luke Wright
would succeed To that position, his work
member Of that body having been emf
nently satisfactory. Some other changes
also would be involved in the appointment
of Governor Taft as secretary of war, but
nothing definite concerning them can be
said at this time.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
COLUMBUS, Ind, Aug. 11.-There are
now docketed in the Bartholomew Circuit
Court, twenty-seven petitions for divorce.
twelve of which have been filed during the
summer vacation, and nine of the twelve
have been filed during the present month,
an average of one for each business day.
The filings for August out-number the ap-
plications for marriage licenses during the
same period by three. The rush to the
courts In this county for legal separation
shows an alarming increase in late years.
and this Notwithstanding the fact that
Judge Hord has strictly construed and
enforces in every instance late statute re-
quiring the payment of fee OF 50 to the
prosecuting attorney, where there is no
bona fide defense made. Few, If any,
divorces are refused although the court de-
mands convincing evidence to prove the
allegations of the complaints. Whether or
not the unusual demand for divorces has
had a dscouraging effect on prospective
candidates for matrimony. is not known
but the fact remains that the divorce docket
in this county is crowded. while the mar
riage license clerk is enjoying vacation.

These Moral Lepcrs.

week sentenced to the Industrial School

Deputy Prosecutor Ira Holmes proved he
was in earnest when he said that any
saloon keeper who appeared in the Police

pect no lenency.
After hearing the case Judge Whallon
Sentenced Griswold to 300 days i'm the work
house and fined him $500 and costs, and he
was taken to that institution in the patrol
wagon yesterday afternoon.
EVIDENCE GATHERED.
When the cases of the three young girls
who were arrested in the Griswold resort
were brought to the attention of Deputy
Prosecutor Holmes he prepared for
vigorous fight against the keeper of the
saloon and asked for a continuance of the
case until yesterday that he might gather
additional evidence against the defendant
When the case was continued Mr.. Holmes.

worked day after day on the evidence with
the intention of making the Griswold case
an example to other keepers of similar

that would have convicted the man had
the girls not been arrested in the winerooms
over his saloon and at the trial yesterday
morning Griswold's saloon was proven to
be one of the lowest resorts that ever in
tested the city of Indianapolis.
Prosecutor Holmes placed witness after
witness on the stand and proved beyond
all doubt that Griswold deserving of
as heavy sentence as could be given
him.
After hearing the arguments on each
side Judge Whallon, without a moments
deliberation, pronounced the sentence
which was the limit allowed by law.
MORE MAY COME
All cases similar to the Griswold one
will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of
the law If Prosecutor Holmes is i'm charge
