ENCOURAGING
Are the Reports of the Business Situation,
but Their Is Room for improvement,
Says Dun g. Co.

New York Jan. 16.-R. G.. Dun &c
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Reports of Improvement in the volume
of business out-number unfavorable
dispatches, although the situation is
decidedly irregular. As the money
market becomes easier there is better
prospect of postponed work being re-
sumed. All structural lines are large
~ dependent upon the ability of the
railroads TO borrow money and the
restoration of confidence among invest
ors. Only fair reports are received re-
garding the leading manufacturing
lines. Many iron and steel plants have
resumed, but the preceding curtail-
ment WAS very severe.
Textile fabrics are as badly unset
tied as ever, lower prices for new
lines of woOlens proving a disagree
able surprise to the many small opera
tors, and speculation in cotton render
ing forward contracts for goods an i'm
possibility. Distribution of merchan-
disc increases with more normal
weather, and clearing houses report
liberal orders for spring goods from
statesmen at the west and south.
Failures this week numbered 324 in
the United States, against 267 last
year, and "a in Canada, compared with
SO a year ago.

WOULD PARALYzS CHICAGO

Testify.

~
Testify.
Chicago, Jan. 16.-Building Commits
sioner George Williams, who is en-
gagged in the most thorough inspection
of structures that has ever been made
In the history Of the city. will 60 on
the witness stand before the
jury and tell of the real conditions in
Chicago. The absolute enforcement
of the law" he said, would mean that
business In Chicago would be par
alyzed."
Chief Musham and his first assist
ant, John Campion, of the fire depart
ment, testified before the coroner about
the Iroquois horror. Chief Musham
declared that in his opinion it was the
duty Of the building commissioner to
report to him If the fire protection in
the theater was inadequate. No report
had EVER been made to him and he had
taken no action I'm the matter. 1t had
never been the custom Of the fire de-
pertinent to inspect theaters or public
buildings for fire protection unless a
report had been made from the office
Of the building commissioner.
CampiOn c~orroborated his chief. The
substance Of their testimony was that
never in the history of the fire depart
ment had that department taken the
initiative in the matter Of inspection
of buildings as to fire protection.

AUBURN VERY MUCH EXCITED
Farmers Bank Closes It's Doors, but thu
Cashier Declares 1t Can Pay All
Its Debts.

Auburn, Ind, Jan. 1.-The Farm
ers' bank. of Auburn. las closed its
doors and the comm:-:i.:y, scarcely rec
onciled from the terri lie loss of the
Mcclellan banks only Il few months
ago, was throw in o a fever of eX-
element. All business is at a stand
still. A few days ago it was an
bounced that the Farmers bank would
be reorganized and its capital stock in
creased from $4,000 to $4,000.
At a business meeting of the stock
holders the project to increase the cap
ital fell through. The meeting con-
tinued all night, but every method sug-
gested TO reconcile matters was of no
avail. Fearing that the news of the
failure to increase the capital stock
would come to the knowledge of the
public and cause a run on the bank.
the doors were not opened, and a no
tice was posted announcing that a re-
ceiver had been asked for.
In a statement to the court A. G.
Robbins. the cashier. reported that the
deposits amounted to about $225,000,
and that there is about $4,000 in cash
on hand. He also asserted that the
bank is fully $1OO,O 600 to the good.

CONVENTION DATE DISCUSSED
Governor Durbin's Remarks About
Hanna Again-Close OF an
Auburn Bank.

Indianapolis. Jan. 15.-The Repub-
lican state committee met at headquar-
tiers in the Stevenson building and or
gained by electing the following off,
GERS: Chairman. James p. Goodrich.
of Winchester; vice chairman, George
Cunningham, of Evansville; secretary,
Fred Sims, of Frankfort: treasurer.
Harry w. Bennett, of Indianapolis;
Goodrich and Bennett succeeded them
selves. Fred Sims. the secretary, will
come to indianapolis the first Of Feb
ruary to take charge Of headquarters.
Talk of the State Convention.
Talk of the best time for holding the
state convention vas started by some
Of the committeeman. This Is d Of
the first questions the new committee
will have to settle. Members who were
asked for an expression all said they
have given the matter very little
thought. Most of the committeeman
said they thought the convention
should be held about the time of the
last one, which was held April % and
"A. That it should not be postponed
beyond May / seemed TO be the i'm
preston of the majority.
This Is Another Story.
indianapolis. Jan. 15.-Another story
has come from Washington as to what
Governor Durbin said to President
Roosevelt relative to Senator Hanna.
1t is this:
Senator Hanna will not be a candi-
date for the presidential nomination"
said Governor Durbin, of Indiana.
1--WE love Hanna in Indiana; he is en-
shrined in the hearts of Republicans.
But Hanna has said he would not be
a candidate, and Republicans believe
him. There is no organization against
Roosevelt in Indiana, and in my judg-
ment his will be the only name before
the national convention. Hanna is a
patriot. If his country should call on
him through his party to be a candi-
date he could not refuse"
State Doesn't Have TO Choose.
"But would Indiana favor Hanna
or Roosevelt in a contest between
them" Governor Durbin was asked.
There will be no contest" ne re-
piled, land no occasion to choose be-
tween them. Because Indiana Reptile
ans love Senator Hanna is not to be
taken as indication of hostility to
Roosevelt"

Death-Muncie Good Citizens
Oppose Mob Law.

indianapolis, Jan 16.-Seyeral mem
bers Of the Republican state commit
tee have ideas regarding the efficacy
Of the reappOrtionment law passed by
the last legislature hat are widely diff,
ferent from the opinions Of the franz
ers Of the bill in the legislature, who
thought they were drafting a law that
would shut out the Democrats from
any chance at capturing the legisla-
ture fer the next six years. The mat
ter was discussed informally by men,
bers of the committee and many Of
them are not in favor of putting up a
very vigorous fight to have the meas
ure declared constitutional.
Looked Out for Number One.
Several of the members expressed
the opinion hat the supreme court
cannot help declaring the law invalid
and they do not are if it does take
this course. The reapportionment bill
was severely criticised in the discus
sion. Members declared that too much
attention had been given by Repub-
lican legislators to seeing that dis
tricts were arranged to insure their
W return to the legislature, instead
OF drafting a bill hat would really
give the Republicans an advantage,
and yet stand the test of the courts.
Republicans Note Defects.
One Of the faults pointed out was
that under the new bill, if the Demo-
Gratis should carry Marion county, it
would go far to insure their control
of the legislature. Under the new bill
Marion county will ~electfourteen mem
bers. To lose so many would be a big
handicap. Another defect pointed out
by the bill is that it was apparently
drawn with the pluralities of the last
election in mind. In that election the
Republicans carried the state by 25.-
O0OIan exceptional plurality, which
cannot be counted upon.
In Case of q Lower Plurality.
1t is pointed out that on a pro rate
reduction i'm the counties which a
heavy falling off in the state plurality
would mean the Democrats would car
~ a score of districts that have been
carried by the Republicans of late
years, because of the split in the 9th
er party. If the law should be de-
clared unconstitutional, two courses
would be open to the Republican man.
agers-they could either call the legis-
latpre together in special session to
pass another bill. or they could go
back to the act of 1897.

Marion, Ind, Jan. 1J.-Devillo P.
Ballard, in the receiving barracks at
the Marion Soldiers Home, gave voice
to anarchistic sentiments, and immedi-
ately sought safety in rapid flight, pur-
sued by angry soldiers, indignant be-
cause Of the wild words of Ballard.

These words in a conversation re-
suited in Fallard's hasty departure
from the home. He was closely guard
ed to the gate by the authorities, but
once outside was forced TO make a run
for his life. Many old comrades of

HIS RULE IN SIGNING PAPERS

Explains the decentralization OF Order for
Department Supplies.
He then described the office circum-
locutiOn of an order for supplies, and
also explained that under the law the
chief clerk Of the first assistant post
master general would act as first as
sistant postmaster general in the lat
ter's absence. The witness was shown
a bill for fasteners signed by Machen
and marked Correct" He said he
was governed in placing his own sig
nature thereon in approval by the fact
that the voucher seemed in regular
form. properly initiated. He hid been
informed that Miss Liebhardt, Mach
ems s~tenographer and chief clerk,
frequently signed Machen's name.
Heath, replying to questions by Tag
CART, said that the number of fasten-
ers required would be determined by
acquisitions of postmasters. The price,
however, would be fixed in the depart
ment, and would originate with the su-
perintendent OF the rural free deliv-
cry division. Cross-examired by Doug
lass, Heath said that after an article
had been adopted by the department
and its price fixed, and it had become
a standSyd article of supply, the sign
ing Of acquisitions would be q matter
Of routine. He was unable to say for
how long a time before he came into
the office the Croft fastener had been
regarded as standard.
He admitted that on the face Of
some of the documents shown him
the reduction in the price Of the fast
eners from $50 to SIPS each was a
voluntary and spontaneous act Of
Machen- Regarding he number Of
boxes needed Heath said it would be
a matter of calculation by some clerk
in the free delivery division, and not
necessarily by the superintendent. He
then detailed the rapid growth Of the
rural free delivery service, and said
be regarded Machen as a very CON-
petent man.

WASH GROUNDSWELL
That Hit ChamberIain's Tariff
Idea in a British Conserva-

FREE TRADER IS THE WINNER
BY . Large Majority-TariT Commits
sion Meets and Gets Ready
for Work.

London, Jan. 16.-The ~bye-election
In Norwich for a successor to the late
Sir Harry Billiard resulted in the free
traders gaining the seat by a majority
OF 1,S20. The result astounds Cham
berlain and the Liberal party. 1t has
been q safe Conservative seat for so
many years that evening allowing for
an increase in the Liberal vote, the fact
Of a labor candidate appearing in the
field and dividing the Liberal vote was
held to ensure a Conservative victory.
That the free traders returned such a

Tariff Commission at Work..
While the election was going on
Chamberlain was presiding at the first
meeting Of the tariff commission, which
assembled here with a large attend
ance Of members. including Henry
Chaplin, Sir Robert Herbert, Sir AL
fred Jones, C. A. Pearson and Alfred
Mosely.
Refers to the United States.
Chamberlain, in opening the pro-
ceedings, madea an eloquent and insPir-
ing speech, during which he drew a
parallel from what the United States
and Germany had accomplished under
protective tariffs, and denied hat any
tariff could be framed here which,
as its opponents alleged. would make
the rich richer and the poor poorer.
The United States, under protection,
had reached prosperity unequalled in
the world. In no other country was
wealth SO evenly distributed, while
there was no country in the world
where such a large proportion Of the
population was on the verge Of hunger
and distress as in Great Britain.
Commission Organizes for Work.
Chamberlain said the object of the
commission was not to formulate tar
i'll laws, but to investigate and inquire
with an per mind. All that had thus
far been decided was that the policy
adopted so many years ago required
reform. At the conclusion Of Cham.
berlain's speech the commission dis
cussed a general method of procedure.
On motion of Chamberlain, Pearson
was unanimously elected vice chair
a A general purpose committee
was then appointed, and the meeting
adjourned to meet hereafter Wednes-
days and Thursdays of each week

He was shown an order for fasten-
ers with his name attached, and
promptly said: That's my name and
my signature, but l see 1t is signed
with a rubber stamp" The stamp,
he said, was used only for formal mat
tiers, and 1t had not been his practice
to rubber-stamp a document calling
for the expenditure Of money. He said
