lENOR IS FIGHTING FOR
HIS POLITICAL EXISTENCE
Indications Point to a Close Con-
test, Cox Claiming a Majority
of Selected Delegates.
MANY VOTES IN DISPUTE

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NEW ALBANY, Ind, Feb. 1.-The COM
mittee on credentials in the Third district
Democratic congressional convention, the
date for which has not yet been selected,
will be called on to settle disputes in
eral of the counties over the admission of
delegates. owing to a disagreement of the
managers OF the campaigns of Congressman
w. T. Zenor and his opponent, w. E. Cox,
as to the rules prevailing in the counties
governing the selection OF the delegates.
. In the primaries held in Dubois, Harrison
and Orange counties on Saturday, Cox Sc
cured the largest vote in Dubois and Orange
and Zenor secured majority of the vote in
Harrison county. Cox men claim the unit
rule prevails in Dubois and Orange and
that the relative strength rule pre-
walls in Harrison county. On this
basis Cox secures twenty-nine of the thirty
nine delegates in these three counties. On
the other hand, the Zenor managers assert
the unit rule prevails in Dubois and Har-
rison counties and the relative strength
rule in Orange county. This would give
Zenor the fourteen votes of Harrison and
three and three-fifths votes in Orange,
total Of seventeen and three-ffths, and Cox
the sixteen votes of Dubois and five and
tWO-nfthS In Orange.
Washington county, which held it's pri-
mary Friday, is also in dispute. Zenor
claiming the entire thirteen votes under the
unit rule and Cox claiming five of the thir-
teen under the relative strength rule.
According to the claims of the Cox men
he has thirty-four of the fifty-two delegates
who have been selected. as follows: Du-
bOis, Is; Orange, 9; Washington, 5, and
Harrison, 4. Zenor. however, claims Har-
rison. IA: Washington, 13; Orange, 3-5
total, 80 3-5.
The next primary will be held in Floyd
county next Friday. Zenor's heutenants
declare he will carry the county by vote
of two TO one. but the Cox men will not
concede the loss OF the county. The unit
rule will prevail I'm Floyd.
In the district convention fifty-nine votes
will be necessary to a choice. Four coun-
ties will hold primaries after Floyd, as fol-
lows: Scott county, March 5, six votes;
Clark, March IL, twenty votes; Crawford.
April %, nine votes Perry county, with
eleven votes, has not selected the date for
its primary.

derer of Sarah Schafer from the Reforma-

instructions to the letter and bring the
man back to the Lawrence county JAIL he
said THE Jail in this town is unsafe
We expect no violence, but a man would
have little trouble in breaking the jail
With the aid of a few saws, which might
be passed to him. he could easily gain his
freedom.
The February session of the Lawrence
county court opened this morning. and the
grand jury, which will handle one Of the
most important cases. that of the Schafer
murder, that has ever come up in this
county, was charged by Judge Wilson.
In instructing the jury the court said, in
part: "A dear girl of your city, loved by
all who knew her, loved for her numberless
virtues, adored on account of her useful
ness in the schools, society and in the
church, all of which she loved and TO which
her life was devoted-such a dear being
has been murdered on one of the prominent
streets of your city. Gentlemen, spare no
time or necessary expense to find the man
guilty of this atrocious crime"
The jury was called into the courtroom
at 10:30 o'clock and was charged half an
hour later. AS Il is necessary for the jury
to convene before any subpenaes can be
issued. and as very few of the witnesses
wanted in the case could be brought before
the body to-day, the jury adjourned till to-
morrow morning, when il will examine as
many witnesses as possible.

KOKOMO, Ind, Feb. 15.-Local officers

working on persistent efforts at train
wrecking in the southern suburbs of Ko-
komo.
AT the point where the track of the Ko-
komo, Marion & Western Traction Com
pany crosses the Pennsylvania line, on East
Markland avenue, obstructions have been
found on several occasions. Last night a
train crew discovered a one and one-half-
inch gas pipe. six feet long, wedged be-
tween the rails, and at another place sew
eral wooden blocks were fastened in the
frog. Detective Snow, of the Richmond
division of the Panhandle, is here acting
with the officers. All trains have orders
to stop and examine the track before cross
ing.
The railroad people are certain that train
robbery is the purpose of the vandals. Lo-
cal officers, however, are inclined to the
belief that ii is the work of boys who do
not realize the enormity of the offense or
its possible calamitous consequences.
