TELLS A PITIFUL STORY

After spending three months in an al
most continuous effort to secure the release
of her husband from the Jail at Jefferson
ville Mrs. PAMELA Station, of Henryville
Clark county, came here yesterday for a
personal appeal TO Governor Durbin. She
gained interview with the Governor
John Station, her husband was the owner
of property in Henryville, where a blind
tiger was being operated, was indicted for
the offense and convicted. He remained
in the Clark county jail from Nov. l. the
date of his arrest. TO Dec p, when he was
convicted. without bail. and was then given
an indeterminate sentence.
Due to her efforts in obtaining sigma
lures TO petitions and letters as to her
husbands character, Mrs Station has be-
come one of the most talked-about wom-
en- in southern Indiana. Alone she Wis
tied every precinct of Henry county, and
secured 40 signatures to her petition to the
Governor On one occasion her horses ran
away and she was nearly killed. She con-
tinued her work, however, until nearly
every voter in the vicinity of Henryville
had signed the petition.
As she waited in the Governors office
yesterday she frequently wept, and many
OF the clerks in the Statehouse were moved
by her pitiful statement of her mission.

to the work to De performed by demo-

fused to recommend CT etand sponsor

tanned that that was matter wlicn
the convention could he trusted to de-

he specifically urged his friends to do

PlesidentaIs Aspirations.

Editor independent: he time spent
trying to boom the editor of the mui-
tiple papers bearing his name seems
to be wasted when viewed in the light
OF possible success as candidate for
presidential honorS. That the ambl-
ton is laudable and honorable is true
enough, but an old prejudice that the
Office should seek the man instead Of
the man the Office, seems rather to
initiate against the possible chance OF
change IN the occupant of the White
house for another four years at least.
That the present occupant will hang
his hat on the same old nail no one
who discerns the signs in the political
sky can for a moment doubt.
Had the astute editor cut loose from
old party trammels and lnaugurated a
movement for the organization of la-
Dor in. a new party with action and
ideas, more in harmony with the pros-
ressive tendencies of the times. he
would not be butting his head against
the dead fOssilism OF the old dem,

TO TEST SILVER QUARTER.
Secret Service Has Coin Alleged to Be
Counterfeit of Dangerous
Character.

To enable the secret service of the
United States treasury department to
determine the genuineness of the quar-
ter-dollar which has been declared by
the chief engraver of the mint to be
a dangerous counterfeit a specimen of
the coin has been forwarded to Wash
ington.
Despite the opinion of other experts,
the chief engraver, Charles e. Barber.
has said that there is not the slightest
doubt that the coin is spurious. The
fact that so radical a difference of
opinion exists is clear evidence of the
dangerous character of the work,
should it be determined that II Is a
counterfeit.
Some idea Of the enormous profits
which the counterfeiters Of this coin
IL 1t be found to be spurious, are MAX
ing is obtained by a comparison of the
relative weight and value of the Amer
lean and the Mexican dollar. The
standard of flneness of the United
States dollar is 300, while that of the
Mexican dollar is 902 In weight, also
the Mexican has somewhat the advan.
tage, being OF 417A grains, as against
412h OF the United States dollar.
When It is borne In mind that the
Mexican dollar may be bought to-day
for from As to As cents it is readily
seen how lucrative a game such coun-
terfeiters would be playing. The profit
on their venture would be nearly. Il
