Assured Them of His Sympathy.
Washington, Jan. 26.-The delegates
to the Good Roads convention called
upon President Roosevelt at the White
House late this afternoon
In greeting them the president said:
Il am sure need not say how entirely
I sympathize with the methods that
you are championing for better means
of communication. The road is the
symbol Of civilization. Take our great
province of Alaska. | doubt II there is
anything more needed for the develop
ment of Alaska On permanent lines
than the building up of a proper sys-
TEN OF roads, and where it is impossi-
bic to make wagon roads, trails in
Alaska. Throughout our country our
citizens will have to turn their ener-
gies to improving the roads between
community and community, because we
are civilized people and we cannot af-
ford to have barbaric methods Of COM
munication." tApplause.)

GAS MAIN CUT
At Ohio Wesleyan Uni
verSity.

Delaware, O., Jan. 26.--The city po-
lice and the officials of Ohio Wesleyan
university are endeavoring to find some
clue to the idenlity of the parties who
today severed the natural gas main
leading into Gray chapel, the largest
of the university buildings. Luckily
the break was found, evidently shortly
after the cutting or serious accident
might have followed.
The main was cut in the duct leading
from the west end of the building. II
ii had not been discovered when it was
a terrible explosion would have result
ed as the Illuminating gas supplied
from another source was burning In the
cellar. The supposition is that students
cut the main intending to stop the sup
ply of gas for the furnaces, not ap-
preciating the disaster which might
have resulted from their act. The chap
el was recently built at a cost of over
$60. 900.

ALDERMEN
Denounce Action of Cor.

Chicago, Jan. 26.-Grand jury in
dictment is the formality to follow
the holding of those responsible for
the Iroquois disaster
More indictments than the eight rec.
ommended will be returned, according
to officials who are informed.
The city government, which furnish
ed five of those found responsible by
the coroner's jury for the fire hor
ror, may be called upon for more cul
prits by the grand jury.
OF the eight who were held to the
grand jury, all have been served with
the mitimus directed to them and with
one exception furnished bonds.
The verdict of the coroner's jury
fell like bomb in the city hall Loud
denunciations of the findings ran
through the corridors. Opinions were
voiced as follows Alderman Leach

Harrison is. They have as much right
to hold the whole city council to the
grand jury"
Alderman Thomas j. Dixon-"There
was no justification for holding Mayor
Harrison and Chief Musham to the
grand jury"
Alderman Fick-"It is a piece OF
petty politics and for that reason it is
an outrage"
Among the people whose friends or
relatives were numbered among the
572 bodies taken from the Iroquois
theater, however, there is universal
satisfaction. The work of the jury

S3,OOOREWARDOFFERE

Bedford, Ind, Jan. 25.-The city
council of Bedford tonight met in Sc
cret session to consider what is best
to be done to secure the capture of the
murderer of Miss Sarah Schaeffer. AS
a result of the meeting, the reward for
the arrest of the murderer was in
creased to $4,000. a% e
In the meantime detectives who have
come from Chicago and Louisville have
left no clue unfollowed which might
lead to the detection of the murderer.
Suspicion took another sudden turn to-
night and centered itself again about
the mysterious man with the red mus
ltache.
Joseph Heitger, Jr., is still in Bloom
ington, despite reports that he was
invited to return to Bedford and was
assured that he had been exonerated of
all guilty knowledge of Miss Schaef-
fer's murder.
Detective Halpin, Of Chicago, has ar
rested ]. M. Walker, stone cutter liv-
ing at the edge of the town. Walker is
held under charge of wife desertion
Walker has red mustache. Thus far
this is the only arrest that has been
made.
This Is the only instance where the
theory that lover or admirer was the
criminal has been given cause for real
question.
The statement by Miss Schaeffer to
Stella Suffines, one of her pupils, that
she was engaged to Harry Church, of
Elkhart, and that Church was making
trouble for her because she wanted to
break her engagement, makes Mr..
IChurch's connection with the investiga-
ton by the authorities OF consequence.
If she was engaged TO Church why did
she want to break this engagement?
Did she have new lover at Bedford
Did she have new lover at any other
place? The answer to this most enig.
matical of problems Is the riddle the
police have tonight set themselves to
solve

Murder Mystery May Not

Bedford, Ind, jan 26.-The author

found the murder of Miss Sarah
Schaeffer beyond their power to solve.
They say they have investigated all
clues and they have proven fruitless.
All of the persons under suspicion
have fully accounted for their where
abouts and it may never be solved
Word was received from Indian
apolis that a man giving the name of
Kinser has been arrested there an
swering to the description OF the man
who was at first suspected of hav.
ing committed the murder. The local
authorities profess to know nothing

LOCALiOPT|ON
Anti-SaIoon League Asks
for New Law.

Rev. William v. Marsh, of Toledo,
agent for the Ohio Anti-Saloon League,
has opened Offices in this city from
which re is directing the work of the
league in the state. He says there Is
no politics in the movement, and that
one of the objects of the league Is to
take the saloon out of politics. The
league is now directing its efforts to-
wards securing the passage Of what is
known as the Ward local option law.
The ward local option bill was intro
duced in the general assembly last
Thursday by Representative Charles
Brannock, of Claremount county. The
b.. provides that 1t shall be unlawful
to sell Intoxicating liquor as a bever-
age in any ward of any city or village
when majority of the qualified cleo
tors sign petition to prohibit the
selling of intoxicating liquors in that
ward, and the petition is passed upon
by the mayor or common pleas judge,
fir ding that it does contain a majority
Cf the voters of the ward. The bill out
lines what shall be a sufficient form of
petition and also defines the term ma
jority Of the qualified electors" in the
ward to mean, the majority of regis
tered voters in wards having registra-
ton. The usual exception with refer
elce to druggists selling liquor is in
the law, the same as in the Beal law.
The other provisions similar to the
poal law are as follows: The defini-
ton Of the term Intoxicating liquor; /;
the time for resubmitting the question
in two years refunding of the Dow
tax to liquor dealers forced out of bus
mess under the law; and the form of
affidavit or indictment to be used in
prosecuting the case.
The bill is very similar to the Beal
law except that it provides for the
submission of the question by petition
instead of election, and applies to
wards instead of the whole of the mu-
nicipality. The bill is entirely separ-
ate from the Beal law and will not
affect it in any way, or the villages or
cities that have or will take advantage
of its propositions.

FORAKER 4
AND HANNA FIGHT Is ON
ONCE MORE.
BOTH CLAIM PATRONAGE
Two PostoHices are
Especially Desired.

Washington, ID. c., Jan. 26.-The
fight between the Foraker and Hanna
factions in Ohio broke out anew today
Senator Foraker is stalking his all on
obtaining such federal patronage from

gain and ascendancy and be selected as
a delegate at large to the National
convention. He has chosen the post
Offices at Lima and Napoleon as the
places he desires.
These two towns are in the fourth
and fifth congressional districts. They
are claimed by Foraker as his particu-
lar prerogatives. They are also claim
ed by the Hanna factions. An old
agreement between Senator's Hanna
and Foraker was that local committees
should recommend appointees. Foraker
now has these recommendations. The
Hanna faction claims that year and a
half ago, when the places became va
cant the local committees endorsed
Hanna men.
Mr.. Foraker today had conference
Will Representative DICK anu SUD
mitted number of propositions which
were taken under advisement. Mr.
Dick was unable to lay them before
Mr.. Hanna because of his illness. Mr.
Foraker subsequently saw all the Ohio
Republican delegations and lnen went
to the White House. He again urged
the president to give him the post
masters at Lima and Napoleon and
came away smiling.
Postmaster General Payne, Secretary
Shaw, Senator Cullom. Senator Spoon
|er and other Republican leaders have
advised the president not to take sides
in the Ohio wrangle until after the
election. They advised him not to
openly incur Mr.. Hanna's resentment
Senator Foraker will hereafter base
his fight on the expectation of obtain
ing from the president such recogni-
ton as will enable him to win his
contest for selection as delegate. There
are at least Is good federal positions
now to be filed in Ohio.
