RUMOR THAT JUDGE HAD
TO CAUTION GREGG JURY
Report Had 1t that Jurors Got to
Discussing Case with Their
Families.
CREATES MUCH FEELING
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind, March GA
rumor was brought to Judge West that the
families of the jurors in the Gregg damage
suit were talking concerning the case, and
the Judge has admonished the jurymen not
TO talk about the case in their families.
The Judge does not want any loopholes
through which a new trial could be given
Since this side lecture there have been no
newspapers in the jury room, but before
there had been several papers brought into
it daily all having something about the
trial and some having expressions as to
what should be done by the jury.
There several persons summoned on
rebuttal evidence who have been trying to
evade the sheriff, who has had considerable
trouble to issue the summonses. The hus-
band of woman, who has been promi-
nently identified with the case, had one tilt
with an attorney for the defense In court
the other day, and the plaintiffs attorneys
told him that he must be quiet. as they did
not want TO have him TO defend while in
this other case. Since then the man has
not returned to the courthouse.
There was no court on Saturday after
noon, yet the courtroom was nearly half
full about half the time of persons who
had not known about the adjournment.

MINERS BEND EFFORTS
TO HEAL BREACH AND
PREVENT GENERAL STRIKE

CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE)
miners who favor strike believe they will
be supported by their locals, as they bear
instructions from them against accepting
a compromise Those who wish TO prevent
calamity are more or less Skeptlcal as 10
the result OF the referendum vote
The Claypool Hotel was almost deserted
or operators yesterday. most OF them nav
bins Is still here, but will leave to-day for
Pittsburg The position OF the operators,
he says. has not changed, and the yoke or
a peaceful settlement now rests upon tins
necks of the miners. When asked III ne
had had any conversation with Mr.. Mitchell
in regard TO plans for resumption or the
interstate movement Mr.. Robbins would
not answer. He said. however, that should
IL be resumed IL would have TO undergo
complete reorganization.
HOPE FOR INTERSTATE MOVEMENT.
While 1t is generally admitted that the
interstate movement was disrupted by the
vote OF the miners Saturday. there are still
some hopes that it may be rescued from a
premature grave. II the referendum vote
favors the compromise, amicable relations
between miners and operators may again
be established in the renewed form or the
interstate movement. This could be done by
both sides appointing committees and send
ing them to the city in convention, where
the compromised scale could be signed ana
the interstate agreement again put into
practice. Under the present trying SITUATION
however, such possibilities are more or less
visionary. When the strike is warded of,
the men will then turn their attention 10 the
interstate agreement.
The miners convention is expected to ad-
journ this evening by which time they will
have finished their work. In case another
deadlock should arise in the convention, an
extra session may be necessary tomorrow.
The delegates will return directly to their
mining districts.

LOVE and MONEY At
BOTTOM OF DIVORCE
Wife's Settlement on a Marquis
the Cause of Spirited
Litigation.

LONDON, March 6.-The first question
asked of the Marquis De Isle by Mr..
Rufus Isaacs in the divorce court recently
was whether the money was really on the
lady's side. THAT is wrong" said the
marquis.
Mr. Shee, K. c., here interviewed with
the remark that the money was quite a
minor point in the case. The Marquise
De Isle was suing for a divorce on the
grounds of her husbands alleged cruelty
and misconduct.
Mr.. Isaacs: 1t has been represented that
this was purely a love match on this gen.
tleman's side My suggestion is that money
considerations had a great deal to do with
il.
Sir Francis Jeune: The money question
plays an important part. OF course, a man
may marry for money and yet be very
much in love with his wife.
The marquis, who seemed very tired of
the whole proceedings, then admitted that
a post-nuptial settlement had been made
upon him by his wife. He was to receive
f4S0 year If there were no children. His
debts at the time of the marriage were just
one-fifth of the sum (e5,000) mentioned by
the Prince De Cassano.
The respondent denied with some heat
that he had agreed to a separation on the
terms that he should be allowed to live on
his wifes property, the Chateau de
Boneuil. When he was at Onebarrow. his
place in Leicestershire, he led very active
life. He hunted and worked hard on the
farm.

II your stomach Is all right, you are all right.
Why are growing boys nearly always healthy?
Because they have not abused their stomachs by
excessive eating and drinking and weakened or
destroyed the functions of that organ. Because
they eat what Nature demands OF good whole
some food and then take plenty of exercise and
run and romp and help out In the process of
digestion and keep their stomachs strong and
well. The same Is true of men who lead active
outdoor lives and engage In physical activity.
Their digestion is perfect, the food nutriment Is
properly assmilated, the blood is pure and
healthy and You seldom hear of them being af-
fected with headache, backache, kidney trouble,
liver trouble, constipation or any other OF the
common ills that always aflict those with bad
stomachs.
II there is anything wrong with you, be sure
your stomach is right. If IL Is not right, get IL
right and do II In the right way-that is the nat
ural way.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are a natural RENE

stomach possess and they actually do the diges-
tive work of the stomach and enable that organ

GORDON CLAIMS He CAN
IDENTIFY CHECK GIVER
Makes Affidavit that Picture of
Knox Is That of Man Who
Gave Him Checks.
OPERATIONS OF GANG
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
PORTLAND. Ind, March 6.-H. B. Cor
don, the alleged forger. says to-day that
if Robert j. Knox, when brought here,
proves to be the man who handed him the
raised checks, he will positively identify
him as such.
Andrew Irle. assistant superintendent of
the Pinkerton agency who has had Cor
don on the rack since his arrest. left to-
day for Columbus, prepared to fight the
suit of habeas corpus which has been filed
by Knox's attorney. The suit has been
filed on the grounds that there is no legal
charge against Knox, but Irle expects
to defeat this by use of the affidavit of
identity secured from Gordon by Prosecu-
tor Wheat here last evening. The affidavit
positively Identifies the picture of Knox as
that of the man who gave him the two
raised checks. one for $500 and one for
$1,000. Detective Irle will therefore file di-
rect charges against Knox.
A letter just received here by Banker
Hawkins, on whom Gordon attempted to
pass the raised check before his arrest, is
causing some speculation and ii is feared
that after all some Indiana bank is loser
to the extent of So 900, less So. There were
three of the checks issued at the time the
two checks Gordon had were procured.
One was in the name of L. b. Hills and
two were in Gordon's name. 1t was the
Hills check. which was for $500, that
Gordon attempted to pass here and it was
a Gordon check for s. raised to 5000 that
was found under the sweatband Of his hat.
The missing check was for So, and as the
last of the gangs operations seemed to
have been confined to Indiana, it is feared
that the missing check was laid down for
$1,000 somewhere in this State.
Gordon has not yet furnished the sl0,
600 bond, under which he was held to the
Circuit Court, by Justice Lewis yesterday.

well. They act in mild. natural manner and
cause no disturbance In the digestive organs
They prevent any fermentation Of the food which
causes sour stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets instil health into
every part Of the human body. They compel
perfect digestion of the food and perfect assimi
lation of the food nutriment. Every organ
and part of the body Is kept In repair and good
health necessarily results. At the same time the
stomach. being relieved OF the work Of digestion,
gets well and strong.
A prominent Detroit physician says; "I pre-
scribe Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets for all cases
Of stomach trouble. have tried many prcscrip-
lions, including number of my own, but find
nothing that gives such universal relief as this
remedy. They are natural, harmless and thor
oughly effective in their work. and while have
natural antipathy to patent medicines, do
not hesitate to prescribe and recommend Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets on all occasions"
The above is no exception. The best physi-
clans are prescribing them all over the land.
They can be had of any druggist for SO cents a
box, and II your own doctor is real honest with
you he will tell you frankly thatther Is nothing
on earth SO good for dyspepsia as Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets. - -

PROJECTION OF A RIVAL
TO THE STANDARD OIL
Operators Are Planning to Pipe
Their Oil to Their Own Rehn-
cries in Their Own Pipe Lines.
RECORDS OF THE WEEK

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TOLEDO, o., March 6.-There is plan on
foot to organize the large oil operators in
Ohio and Indiana into company for the
purpose of handling their product from
the wells to the consumer. This will come
about by the laying of pipe lines and the
building of an extensive oil refinery, one in
each State, so that they can refine their
own product and put it or the market.
thereby getting the benefit that the Stand
ard Oil Company has had for years. The
pipe lines now charge a rate of 20 cents
barrel for piping oil, and also a certain per-
centage for waste, etc. In this branch alone
there are big profits, to say nothing of the
profits of the Illuminating oil and the by
products after they are refined. Some of
the heaviest operators in the two States
are looking quietly over this project, and
1T is evident that something will be done
in the oil regions ere long. The continued
decline in the price of credit balances is
squirting them on, and there is a general
kick" from all parts of the oil field on the
latest drop in prices. The oil fields are in
bad shape owing to high water. Wood
county operators between Bowling Green
and North Baltimore have been unable TO
do anything on account of the overflow of
the streams passing through that part of
the State Tlat-bottomed boats have been
in good demand.
There were 141 wells completed in the Ohio
and Indiana fields during the past week.
but there is no excitement in any quarter
In Ohio, while in Indiana, especially in Del
aware township of Delaware county, there
is unusual interest, due to the drilling in
OF couple of wildcat wells that were good
producers, and the Albany pool bids fair to
rival that near Parker.
During the past week sixty-nine wells
were completed in the Ohio oil field, of
which eight were dry. The others had
new production the first day of 1,5S5 barrels.
