PLANTERS HOTEL Bill
MANAGER RITCHEY CALLS ON STATE
OFFICIALS WHILE IN CITY.
He Explains why Charge Was Made
for Five Days-PIan of Quarter
master General.

Daniel p. Ritchey, manager OF the Plant
ers' Hotel, at st. Louis, was in the city
yesterday and called on Quartermaster
General Oran Perry, at the Statehouse, to
present the Planters side of the contro-
versy over the bill for the Governors party
during the exposition dedication last week
Adjutant General Ward, in making ar
rangements for the entertainment of the
Indiana party, contracted for rooms for
three days The party was at the hotel
less than two days, but when they went to
settle their bill the hotel management
charged them for five days. The bill was
not paid under the circumstances, and the
matter has been the subject of some little
correspondence during the past week.
Mr. Ritchey, in explanation of the five
days charge. said yesterday that when the
question of caring for the dedication crowds
was laid before the hotel people by the ex-
position managers. the latter requested that
the hotels notify their regular patrons. the
commercial men, to steer clear of ST. Louis
from April rs to May . This was done,
Mr.. Ritchey says. with the understanding
that the expositon's visitors would nav for
sequently he thought the hotels asked moth
ing unreasonable and he did not regard the
dTEdnSGHlekllS fI1due Dy AOJUtant General
Ward as a contract for three days only.
The bill has not yet been settled. but il
was understood yesterday that Quarter
master General Perry would go TO ST
Louis to-day to close the matter. Mr.
Ritchey also called on Governor Durbin
while he was at the Statehouse
Mr.. Ritchey said last evening that the
stories OF the extortion practiced upon Wis
itors in ST. Louis last week were not justi-
fed. so far as the hotel end of il was con-
cerned. He said the rates were not materi-
ally advanced and not at all beyond a rea-
sonable increase justified because the hotels
had shut out all their regular patrons for
five days and were forced 10 go to unusual
expense I'm preparing for the exposition
crowds. The commercial men had. in fact
he said. avoided st. Louis for two days
after the dedication and the hotels would
have actually lost money had they not
made slight advance in rates
Mr.. Ritchey was not In Indianapolis pri-
marily 10 settle with the quartermaster
general. The management of the Planter
also owns the Grand Hotel at Mackinac
island. Michigan. and he was on his way
north TO look after the preparation OF that
establishment for the summer business. Mr..
Ritchey is an old indianapolis man. having
been connected with the Grand Hotel here
several years

WOMEN FAVOR PEACE.
Attempt to Arouse Interest in the
Demonstration on May IS.

Denomination on May IS.
Interest is centered around the peace
demonstration that will be held in this city
May is. at the Second Presbyterian Church
Meetings of this character have been held
since 1899, when the first demonstration
was held in recognition OF the forward steps
taken by the Car toward arbitration. In
1900 the work was taken up by the Inter-
national Council of Wornen and since that
time 1t has made great strides, and the
court of arbitration has been formed The
meeting of 1902 took the form of celebra-
ton of the organization of this court and
since then the meetings the world over
have been a continuous celebration of the
organization of the court with the earnest
purpose of educating public opinion to rec
ognize and use the court now that ii has
Last year in the United States 800 meet
ings of peace and arbitration were held at
the same time. This year it is hoped that
the number of meetings will be greatly in
creased as well as the number of partici-
pants.
A feature Of the peace demonstration is
the exchange of resolutions of sympathy by
women of different nationalities The re-
cent difficulty between Germany and Ven
ezuela has shown the necessity for educat-
ing the public mind into the habit of re-
garding the court of arbitration as the only
rational agency for adjusting matters of the
kind between nations.
The people interested in the peace demon
stration feel that Mr.. Carnegie's recent
gift for a building for the International
Court of Arbitration, as well as library
for the use of the court at The Hague. will
emphasize the strength and power Of the
organization.
The Indianapolis Council of Women feels
well satisfied with the interest and sympa-
thy manifested by the Ministerial Associ-
alton.
1t is hoped that there will be many meet
ings on May is throughout the State The
Local Council of Bloomington is making
preparations for a meeting in Blooming
ton. AT the peace demonstration this year
the following resolution will be passed
upon:
Resolved, That American women as
semble May Is. 1903 for the purpose
of considering the fruits OF war and the
fruits of peace. and hold a demonstration
in behalf of peace and ssrbitration- They
commit themselves TO adopting as their own
that ideal of loving brotherhood which can
be realized only by the cessation of inter
national hostilities. They repudiate war as
a means Of settling international difficult

OIL WELLS RUINED
Standard Oil Trust Is Accused
of Outrageous Deed.

DALLAS, Tex, Sept. THE Fort
Worth Telegram of today prints the
most startling story that has ever
come out of the Beaumont oil fields
and states that it's informant is one of
the most prominent men of Fort
Worth, who returned from Beaumont
yesterday This man declares that the
Standard Oil company has perpetrated
gigantic steal in the Beaumont fields
and that positive established details
are just coming to light.
The independent oil companies of
Beaumont are the victims, many of
which have been wrecked by the
Standards work. Recently some of
the leading men of the wrecked or in
jured companies determined to in
yestigate and in two days they raised
$4,000 with which to push the work
1t is shown that the. numerous oil
wells that apparently were ruined by
salt water were put in their bad con-
dltlon by the Standard Oil company's
conspiratorS. AS fast as a company
went to the wall it's property was
bought in by the trust. By accident,
1T is claimed, the desperate work of the
Standard company was discovered re-
Gently. The Standard Oil company
long ago built a pipe line from Beau
mont to the Gulf of Mexico. pump
ing station was erected at Beaumont
and another at the gulf. Oil was
pumped through the line to the gulf
and thence shipped to various parts of
the world.
Suddenly many wells of indepen-
dent companies had salt water in them.
The ruin of the owners is part of the
history of the field. One day not long
ago one of the pumping stations got
out of working order and oil pumping
to the gulf had to be suspended while
repairs were being made. Wells that
had been giving out fully one-half salt
water began flowing nothing but oil,
good fuel oil, it is declared. This put
the investigation on foot.
The investigators secretly plugged
UP the pipe line at the Beaumont end.

WOMEN CLUB CURSE
Chicago Preacher Sees OnI,
EviIin Such Organizations.

CHICAGO, Sept. 7--Women's clubs
are the greatest bane of modern civ
ilization. They not only demoralize
those women who affiliate themselves,
but they endanger the home, the
church, and the state.
This is the declaration made by the
Rev. William B. Leach, of the Wicker
Park M. e. church. From the pulpit
last evening he denounced those wom-
en- who, he said, aped men in their
ways of life, and deserted the family
altar to worship at the shrine of Mann
mon, as represented by the club.
Gambling and carousing, according
TO the clergyman, are features of the
Women's organizations of Chicago. He
said that the vices common to the or
CARNATIONS of men are duplicated in
the social societies maintained by
women
Earnestly I plead tonight a hearing
from you men and women who are en-
dangering self, home and nation" he
said. Think! Clubs for men to for
get home, family, to drink, to carouse,
to neglect Gods plan! Clubs for wom-
en- to ape the men in cards and even In
drink; to neglect the babies, to forget
that the great God had stamped them
with a commission, as he has men, to
preserve the beauty, the dignity of
nome life.
American wives and husbands,
think of the home now-tomorrow may
be too late. In the wake of club life /
see the suicide, broken homes, chill
dren harmed by neglect and doomed by
that neglect to live lives of shame and
crime. would that we could return to
the old primitive hearthstone, the ingle
by the fireside, where heaven just
empties itself out for us in innocent
amusement, laughter and song. And
then, when all all is over, to cap. II
with the family altar, the laying OF
weary hands on the bosom of Him
who giveth His beloved sleep
Yes, We are selling our homes to the
public life. May God open their eyes
before it is too latei / plead for our
youths and our maidens. who are SELL
ing themselves to the club, the cards
the saloon, the thousands of things to
which they turn for excitement and
pleasure"
The Rev. Mr.. Leach brought his SER
mon to close with plea for a purer
and higher motherhood. The clubs
he said. were places in which all mater
nal instinct withered and died.

AUSTRALIA. FACES
TROUDLOUS TIMES
So Says Earl ofLonsdaIe-S Sep
atations From Mother
Country Is Sought.

LONDON, Sept. 7.-According to a
Sydney dispatch to the Daily Mail the
Earl of Londsile; before sailing, said:
There is considerable trouble COM
ing in Australia soon. The legislators
are barring the way of progress and
making it almost impossible for the
larger financial interests to enter the
commonwealth. The political aspect of
affairs is becoming worse and worse.
The labor party is largely blamable.
The workmen are cutting their own
threats and a considerable exodus from
Australia is probable. The country is
er-legislated and the politicians over
paid. English workmen earning twenty
shillings a week are better off than
Australian workhen earning fifty"
The Earl of Lonsdale, beside the
labor trouble, probably had in mind the
growing strength of the country party
in Australia, led by the powerful or
gan the Sydney Bulletin, which openly
urges separation from the mother
country. In it's cartoons Great Britain
is significantly represented as John
Bull Cohen" Since the establishment
of the commonwealth the growth of
the country party threatens to replace
the influence formerly welded by the
towns.
