Bloomington, Ind, Feb. 1S.-Almost
every minute from the time that Jas.
Mcdonald was placed behind the bals
in the Jail in this city until after mid
night Detective Reed, of the Pinker-
ton force, was closeted with him In an
upper cell, entirely free from every
body, and there is no question but
what a determined effort was made to
compel him to acknowledge his guilt
as the murderer of Sarah Schafer. the
school teacher, of Bedford. Mcdonald
appeared to be haggard and worn, and
he was nervous and uneasy.
Six Hours in the ~sweet Box."
Detective Reed said but little, but
it was evident hat the six hours
sweating" process to which Mcdonald
had been subjected had had a telling
cfect ON the prisoner. Detective Reed
showed by his manner that he was
confident Mcdonald would break down,
and there is a feeling among the Jail
officials that when Reed left for Bed
ford he had succeeded in securing i'm
portant admissions from Mcdonald
Reed dropped a remark that he would
Eot leave bloomington until he got
what he wanted. and he has taken the
train for Bedford
Prisoner Thinking of a Hereafter.
When Mcdonald was told by the
sheriff that he could have what papers
he wanted TO read he responded that
he wanted nothing but the Bible. He
also said that he had been a very sin
full man, but he was o happy, as he
had become religious. He further re-
marked that be had been studying the
Bible for five days, and he hoped Oon
to be able to join the church. He
believed in immersion, ard for that
TeasoE he preferred the Baptist.
HIS Case Not Yet Taken Up.
Bedford, Ind, Feb. 1S--It is now
apparent that the grand jury has not
yet taken up the Schafer murder case
for Investigation. and that nothing VIII
be done until next Monday, when the

Sophs and Freshies to Strive Half an

BedfOrd-Notes.

Indianapolis, Feb. 20. = "A number
of school towns in Indiana are disap-
pointed by the decision of the Indiana
supreme court that a man who bid
on the $4,000 of school bonds offered
for sale by Rushville need not take
them because the act under which they
were sold is unconstitutional, having
made an arbitrary classification of
towns. The decision is probably a
death blow to such legislation in the
future. The act construed by the su-
preme court as unconstitutional APP
piled to towns of not less than 1910
o more than 4,545, according to the
last preceding United States census.
Trustees Wanted to Borrow.
When the last general assembly met
there was a request from many towns
of the state for legislation permitting
school trustees to borrow more money
and levy additional tax in order to
meet the needs of the public school
system. A general law was passed,
but several of the towns had special
acts passed which defined the pOpula-
ton so narrowly as not to affect any
other town. Governor Durbin approved
some of these special acts, but vetoed
others. In some cases, after the gov
ernOr's veto. other bills were drawn
to meet his objections, and were passed
and signed before the legislature ad-
journed.
Bond Buyers Took Legal Advice.
e. NJ. Johnson, of j. +. Wild &
CO., dealers in bonds, said that some
of the towns to which the special acts
applied attempted to sell bonds, but
failed to get bids, the bond dealers be-
ing advised by attorneys that the spe-
cial acts were unconstitutional. The
general law is regarded by the bond
dealers as sound. 1t provides for a levy
of not to exceed % cents and provides
that no Indebtedness shall be created
in excess OF the 2 per cent. constitu-
tional limit on assessed valuation.
