RATHBONE SEEKS. 4
REVIEW OF HIS CASE
Man Convicted of Completely in
Cuban Postal Frauds Wants
an Investigation.

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator Platt.
of Connecticut, chairman of the Senate
committee on relations with Cuba. has re-
ceived from Major Z. G.. Rathbone an APP
peal for a review of his case by Congress
in which he calls attention to the investiga-
ton of the protests against the confrma-
ton of General Leonard Wood by the Sen
ate committee on military affairs He has
on file with Senator Platts committee a re-
quest for investigation of the circum-
stances under which he was convicted of
completely in the Cuban postal frauds, but
no action ever has been taken in the mat
ter. Major Rathbone took a prominent
part in the fight on General Wood alleging
that General Wood used undue influence in
bringing about his (Rathbone's) convic-
ton. 1t is asserted also that the late Sena-
tor Hanna's interest in the case was due TO
his belief that Major Rathbone was dealt
with unjustly. Major Rathbone uses i'm
his appeal TO Congress all of the comment
concerning his case which was made by
Senator Hanna in his brief regarding the
Wood case and which is now a confden-
tial document of the Senate. Major Rath-
bone bases his claim for an investigation
on his right TO be heard as an American
citizen.

HOW THE yellow KID"
CLUBS ARE DOOMED
Hearst's Newspaper Syndicate
and photo Prints Utilized
by-Agents.
ALL BUSINESS IS CASH

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, March Civilian Ran
dolph Hearst of New York. who is now
giving the people Of Indiana a striking
illustration of what an enterprising CAPT
talist may do in politics, is not dismayed
by the distrust of his colleagues in the
House and Senate. He moves on in the
even tenor of his way, makes disburse-
ments with willingness never before ex-
hibited by candidate for the presidency
and duly chronicles in his various publica-
tions the formation of new Hearst clubs
all over the country. The Hearst club is
a peculiar product of the present precon-
vention campaign. In days gone by the
organization of political clubs bearing the
name of a candidate was one of the mani
festations of the popularity of the man
so honored. Not so with the yellow Kid"
associations. They are conducted on a cash
basis. and any one who applies gains adj
mission. The price paid for the establish
ment OF Hearst club is $500 In country
districts Hearsts agents work another
scheme by sending copies of newspapers for
distribution containing photo prints" of
the charter members, thus adding TO the
local prominence of the Hearst boomers.
Hearst is a constant attendant at the ses-
slonS or the House, OF which he Is a men,
Der, representing a New York Tammany
district. He has little to do with his Dem
ocratic colleagues. He is an isolated figure,
and receives very little consideration at
the hands OF the minority. He glides on
to the floor at the beginning of the session,
and pays as little attention to the proceed
ings as the most disinterested spectator.
Hearst is big white elephant on the hands
of the House minority, as he is with the
party as whole. He Is a constant en-
barrassment. A few days ago Judge De
Almond, of Missouri, of the Demo-
cratic House leaders, was advertised as
having attended Hearst boom meeting
in Boston. The Missourian promptly de-
MED the report. That is the kind of treat
ment Hearst gets from his Democratic
brothers In the House If the House were
polled on the presidency Hearst could not
muster a corporaFs guard.
There Is one popularity of Hearst that
has probably been noted by observing pol
iticians in Indiana. The New York editor
has failed to keep two three engage
ments to speak at political gatherings in
the Hoosier State and his voice has not
yet been heard in the House. 1t is the
custom OF Mr.. Hearst to accept nearly all
the invitations rendered him, but when
the time comes for him to attend the
who present a letter written by William
Randolph Hearst who expresses regret
that pressing engagements prevent him
from attending. Mr.. Hearst has rot de-
liVered a speech in the House of Represent
tatives and it is probably safe to say that
he will not. j. Z. Nj.

WOOD GIVING JEFF

Contest for the Gubernatorial
Nomination in Arkansas Not
Yet Decided.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, March 27-Re-
turns from majority of the counties of
Arkansas tonight show that Governor
jeff Davis may have carried enough
counties to give him the Democratic nom
ination for third term. In half a dozen
counties the vote is so close that the official
count will be necessary in order TO decide
The Democratic state convention, which
meets in Hot Springs on the second Tues
day in June, will consist Of 442 delegates
and ODD will be necessary to nominate. On
the returns at hand Davis has 1SS delegates
and Judge Carroll ID. Wood 125 OF the
remaining 129 delegates Davis is sure of at
least one-third. 1t is probable that the
total vote in the State will reach 125.OOO
Later returns on the governorship to-
night were encouraging TO the Wood men
and indicate that the contest is by no
means settled yet. There are nine counties
in which the official vote is necessary TO
decide. They have forty-eight delegates in
the state convention and ii now appears
certain that Wood has carried enough coun-
ties TO give him l69 delegates, leaving the
nine doubtful counties and several remote
sections TO hear from. Governor Davis's
managers claim they will have 305 dele
gates.

INDIANA Is AN EASTERN
STATE, NEBRASKANS SAY
Argument Used in Booming John
l.. Webster for the Vice
Presidency.
AN INCIDENT RELATED

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-While no
formal announcement of his candidacy has
been made the friends of John l.. Webster,
of Nebraska, are quietly hunting delegates
with view to nominating him on the ticket
with President Roosevelt. In their argu-
ments for Western candidate the Nebras-
ka boomers pay special attention to In
diana. Indiana is longer a Western
State they say. 1t is in and of the East,
and all its interests are with the East.
The Vice President, they urge, should come
from the West this year. and they are pre-
pared to give numerous reasons why Ne
braska is the State and John L. Webster
the man. One of the Nebraskans tells a
story which he says applies to Indiana. A
man from the far West met a prominent
New Yorker.
Were you ever in the West?" the former
asked
I'm the summer OF 1875" was the re-
Spouse, 81 was as far west as Buffalo"
Indeed" said the man from the West,
that same year 1 was as far east as
Denver, it's wonder we didn't meet"
Indiana is for all practical purposes an
Eastern State, continued the Nebraskan,
and we of the West want the vice presi-
dency.
The Webster boomers speak in the
acknowledged by the majority of the Re
publicans as the man most likely to land
the vice presidential nomination. Not
understanding the contention OF the Nebras-
kans most people believe that the Indiana
senator is admirably located geographic
ally. j. L. NJ.

CONGRESS MAY NOT Be
ABLE TO ADJOURN MAY |
Proposed Impeachment of Federal
Judge Swayne Will Occupy
Much Time.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

SDfC1al
WASHINGTON, March 27.-The fear is
now expressed that the leaders will be
unable to carry out the plan decided upon
some weeks ago to adjourn Congress by
May T. The business of both houses is
well advanced, but there is a possibility
that il may be necessary TO take up the
impeachment trial of Judge Swayne, of
Florida Up to date there has been no
formal discussion by senator's on this case,
and there probably will not be until the
House has acted upon the report of the
committee recommending Impeachment. 1t
is generally understood that If the House
adopts a resolution To impeach Judge
Swayne that the Senate WILL of necessity,
have TO proceed at once to sit for that
purpose Ii is not regarded as possible
to defer action on this matter if the
House adopts the Impeachment resolution.
There is still a question as to whether the
House may not postpone action, but the
short session OF Congress are looked upon
as so great as to make that proposition
untanable. The rules and manual of the
Senate prescribe the procedure in impeach-
ment trials. The rules provide that when
ever the Senate shall receive notice from
the House that managers are appointed on
its part To conduct an Impeachment against
any person and are directed to carry arti-
cles of Impeachment to the Senate, the
secretary of the Senate shall immedia tely
inform the House that the Senate is ready
to receive the managers for the purpose of
delivering such articles The suggestion
has been made, in order that the time for
Swayne be arraigned before the bar OF
the Senate and be given time to prepare his
case, the same 10 be tried at the short SEES
sion next winter.

PURE FOOD IN SENATE;
CIVIL SUNORY IN HOUSE
Bills That Will Come Before the
Two Branches of Congress
To-Day.
PROGRAMME. OF WEEI

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator Hep
burn has given notice that tomorrow after
noon he will move to take UP the pure food
bill, but the enemies of that measure will
seek to prevent consideration of it by con-
stantly keeping appropriation bills before
the Senate This policy was made plain by
the early adjournment of the Senate on
Saturday. which was taken to prevent the
completion of consideration of the District
of Columbia appropriation bill on that
day, thus forcing.it over and affording ma
terial in the way of appropriation legisla-
ton for discussion on Monday. The OPP
ponents of the pure food bill count on con-
tinuing the discussion of the district bill
until the postoffice appropriation can be
reported from committee. The postoffice
bill will receive its first attention at the
hands of the committee on postoffices to-
morrow, and there will be an effort to re-
port IL by Tuesday Wednesday, III the
district bill is passed before the postoffice
bill is ready for consideration. the con-
ference report on the army appropriation
bill or the bill authorizing a new depart
ment building in Washington may be made
to serve the purpose of holding off the pure
food bill. Senator Hepburn announces his
intention to call up the food bill if possible,
and says he will use his best efforts to Sc
cure its passage.

HOW S523,OOO WILL Be
SPENT ON The ARMY POST
Ouartermaster Generals Statement
to Chairman Hemenway, of
Appropriations.
WORK TO BEGIN IN July
special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-An appro-
preparation of $4,000 will be allowed by
Congress this year for the Indianapolis
army post. This will permit the work of
construction to begin soon after July /,
on which date the sum in question will be-
come available, or sooner if the House
so decides. In the meantime the survey
of the site will be completed and there
will be nothing to prevent the department
from laying out the grounds and preparing
the plans for what will be one of the larg-
est and most important military posts in
the United States.
The quartermaster general explains to
Chairman Hemenway, of the committee on
appropriations, the manner in which the
amount named above will be expended as
follows:
After careful consideration of the ques-
ton at issue it is recommended that there
be appropriated and made Immediately
available the sum of s523,99O to permit the
construction of the necessary officers quar-
tiers and barracks for a garrison of regi-
mental headquarters, band and one battalion
Cfour companies) of infantry, together with
the necessary storehouses, hospital sta
bles, guardhouse, office building, etc, that
would be required for a complete post.
ut is the intention of the War Depart
ment to provide ultimately for garri-
son of one full regiment of infantry, but it
is believed that it will he more advan-
tageous to limit construction during the
ensuing fiscal year to that which would be
required for headquarters and the first
battalion, leaving the other two battalions
to be provided for by future appropria-
lions.
1T will be observed that the estimated
cost of the buildings to be erected the
first year is somewhat more than one-half
of the amount required for the entire regi-
mental post, although the garrison TO be
provided for will be a little more than
one third of that for the full regiment.
This is accounted for by the fact that in
addition to officers quarters and barracks
for the troops there will be needed for the
first battalion all the administrative build
ings that constitute a fully equipped post,
and future construction would be limited
only to the necessary officers quarters and
barracks for the remaining part of the regi-
ment which is estimated at $780, 10 for the
additional eight companies. j. h. NJ.

HEARING OF WARREN
COUNTY OFFICE CASE
Court WithholdS Decision in Suit
Involving Law Passed by
Recent legislature
REVIEW OF THE CASE

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
WILLIAMSPORT, Ind, March Elm the
Warren Circuit Court yesterday Judge
Rabb heard the case brought by w. H
Stephens, Republican nominee for county
treasurer, against Fred L. Gemmer, chair
man of the county central committee, and
Chester Rosster, secretary of the same
committee, because Stephens name was not
placed on the certificates of nomination.
The court took the argument under con-
sideration and will render a decision as
soon as ii can.
The case is attracting State attention be-
cause of the alleged unconsttutionality of
act passed by the last Legislature.
Peter w. Fleming, the present treasurer,
was elected in 1900, and took the office in
January, 1902. In the same year he was
elected for the second term, which will ex-
tend until January, 1906; he then will be-
come ineligible by Article 6, Section 2 of
the State Constitution and the office will
be vacant unless his successor should be
chosen previously. The general election
this fall will be the last opportunity to
elect a new treasurer before January. 1906.
Knowing this, the Republicans nomina ted
Mr.. Stephens as their candidate for the
place. Mr.. Gemmer and Mr.. Rossiter, act
ing for the county committee, acknowledged
his nomination, but refused to insert his
name in the certificates of nomination, on
the ground that the last Legislature passed
a law providing that no successor to Mr.
Fleming should be elected until 1906. If this
should be adhered to treasurer would have
to be appointed for the time from Jan. /,
1906, until the general election in November
of the same year, Mr.. Fleming would
hold over. For the reason that Mr.. Flem-
ming would then be ineligible, Mr.. Stephens
claimed that this act by the last Legisla-
ture unconstitutional.
Roscoe Hawkins and Merrill Moores, of
Indianapolis, and William Christian of
Noblesville, were the attorneys for Gem
mer and Rossiter and Addison c. Harris
of Indianapolis, and Stousburg & Billings,
of this place, were the attorneys for Mr..
Stephens. Mr.. Harris was not present at
the trial.

GOVERNMENT MAY BUY
CANCEL|NG MACHINES
Their Rental Vigorously De
nounced in the House by Rep
resentative c. B. Lands.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special 10 the Indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON, March 27.-The item in
the postoffice appropriation bill providing
for the purchase or rental of canceling
machines excited good deal of adverse
comment in the House. For some time the
canceling machine companies have been
holding up the department for large annual
rentals refusing TO sell their machines out
right to the government. On motion of
Representative Charles b. Lands the
House adopted an amendment providing for
the purchase of these machines. Rather
than be robbed by these firms" said Rep
resentative Lands. II would advocate 60
ing back to the old proposition of stamping
by hand. For a caaceling machine that
does not cost any more than sewing ma
chine this government has been held up
for a rental of 800 year. This is spe
cies of legalized brigandage that | do not
think the government should submit to.
They say, you rent our machines or we will
take them out l would tell them to take
them out rather than pay the eXhorbitant
prices demanded for rental"

SUNDRY CIVIL BILL
Has RIGHT OF WAY

WASHINGTON, March 27.-The sundry
civil bill has the right of way in the House
this week, and Chairman Hemenway be-
lieves that it will require the whole week
to dispose of the measure. Should this
not be the case. two special orders have
been set to follow it-pension bills and the
omnibus claims bill. The Impeachment of
Judge Charles Swayne is now properly be-
fore the House. and is a matter of the
highest privilege. Mr. Palmer, in charge
of this case, says that he will not press
il during consideration of the sundry civil
bill but will call up the case at the con-
ciusion of that measure. While minority
views are to be filed in this suit by Repre-
sentative Giliett, of California. it is ex-
pected that the matter can be reached
without prolonged discussion.

DEATH BLOW TO Mr..
GORMAN'S CANDIDACY
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-The an
nouncement of Senator Simmons, of North
Carolina, that the Democrats of his State
will support the candidacy of Judge Alton
b. Parker, of New York, was received with
a great deal of interest here. North Caro-
lima up to this time has been counted for
Senator German, of Maryland. It's with
drawal from his support will undoubtedly
deal a death blow to the candidacy of the
minority leader in the Senate. Prominent
Southern Democrats assert positively that
Parker will land most of the Southern dele
gates, and that the best that Hearst can
do in that section is to secure scattering
votes here and there. Southern men are
looking anxiously to the middle West to
observe what that section does relative to
the presidential candidate. They favor
Parker and express the hope that Indiana
Illinois and Ohio will swing into line for
the New Yorker.
