T AMILToN. Ind. September 19.-In an
 address at the reunion of the
 Thirtieth Indiana regiment, Gov ,rnor Hanley, the principal speaker. made public his reasons for his actions In the case of David E. sherrick, ex-auditor of state, whose resignation was forced by the governor, Facts and figures were used to show what became of the money belonging to the state that was lost by David E. Sherrick. auditor of state, and common gambler
 The governor charged that $10.000 of the states money went by check into the hands of the gentleman who was then operating the Casino at French Lick. l" The govd,nor then enumerates a list of what he calls wild cat securities az gregating a face value of $75.000 into which the states money went. Following this he charged that Sherrick's contin- ued absence from the sessions of the state board of tax commissioners, was "occas- toned by drinking bouts and midnight carousals around the gaming table. from which he could not recover in time to meet with the commission" He charged that Sherrick at the time the Monon railroad came up for assessment. argued that the assessment be allowed to re- main at $1S,000 a mile because in that

case a friend of his to whom he was under great obligation personally, could get permanent employment with the com pany if the assessment could be kept at SlS,0O0. This part of the speech concluded: i:
 Was a Common Gambler.
 There Is evidence overwhelming and convincing that MT. Sherrick, auditor or state, was common gambler and that he was at the time of his resignation, and had been for two years, in the habit of losing large sums of money, not his, but the states, at the gaming table
 Certain people claim that gambling and an open door to vice are essential to the highest material prosperity of mu- nicipal communities. do not think SO. But you are the jury. It is for you to decide.
 Before my inauguration I received trustworthy information that he had written to the management of several railway companies in the month of De- cember, 1904, over his own signature as auditor of state, asking them to send him all passes intended for members of the general assembly then about to con- vene, stating in substance that he ex- pected to have some legislation of per sonal interest to himself before that body, and If they would send their transporta- ton to him for distribution he would see that their interests and his were well cared for at the same time.

KAVANAUCH SAYS
 DO NOT SIGN PLAYERS
Wants Clubs to Get Together First and Agree on Salary Limit for
 Next Year.

Little Rock, Ark, September 19.-(Spe- cial )-President Kavanaugh of the South ern league has sent out bulletin to all managers in the league requesting them not to sign any players for next season at present.
 Judge Kavanaugh, when asked the meaning of this, said:
 Tt is to stop the thing of managers engaging players at high salaries be- yond the ability of the clubs to pay and be self-sustaining. We want the manag- CTS to wait until they can get together and agree on satisfactory salary limit. All we want is for all the clubs to be on self-sustaining basis. We don't care about them making money. We do want them to pay their way, and last season only two clubs did that With salary limit binding on all, the clubs will be more nearly equal, there will be more interest in the game and it will be self sustaining"

OPERATORS ARE FIRM.
Claim They Will Not Grant Demand
 for Eiaht-Hour Day.

Scranton, Pa, September 19.-One of the biggest coal operators in this region who has just come from Philadelphia. where he had a conference with President Baer of the Reading, today declared ur rhesitat- ingly and for publication that the 'per- ators will not under any consideration grant the demand of the mine workers for an eight-hour day, and that they will only agree that the present agreement shall be continued Announcement to this effect will be made, he said, after the miners hold their convention in Shamkoin De- cember IA.
 An eight-hour day." the operator con- tinued, would be equivalent to a 12 per cent raise in the miners wages. If we granted that 1t would be necessary for us to raise the price of coal and the pub lie would not stand for that. We are willing, however, to re-adopt the present agreement with the miners. perhaps with some notifications that can be mutually decided upon.'

 Dr. Whites assurance to the citizens committee that all danger will have passed before the date set for the Presi- dents arrival and that the party may come to New Orleans and travel over the state without risk shows the confidence entertained by the federal authorities that henceforth there will be a rapid improvement in conditions.
 Dr. White has called for a complete re- port of every actual case and every sus- picious case under observation up to the close of business tomorrow, with list of all houses still under observation. There has been an elimination of foci, many of the cases now under treatment being houses where fever has prevailed for some time. Today's report was en- couraging.

Little Effort to Extend Aid.


 It appears from the evidence gathered by the steamboat inspection service that Captain Hotvile made little effort to ex- tend aid to the Sylph. The accusation of Lieutenant Evans and the reply of Cap tain Hotville do not materially differ ex- cept that Hotville offered an excuse for his action. In the inspection service it is said the evidence was the most dam aging obtained. Lieutenant Evans on com menting on the incident details the ac- cident to the Sylph and his failure to get the Oteri to respond to his signal Of distress. and says he was entirely help less, and the Oterio knew it.
 He then graphically related the experi- ences of the night. and the failure of other vessels to see the signals from the Sylph and finally of the rescue on the morning of the 18th by the Morgan liner El Cid, which put about from her course to New Orleans. The report of Lieuten- ant Evans closed with this statement;
 All Would Have Been Lost.
 T am firmly convinced that had the Fl Cir not taken us into port the Sylph and all her people would have been lost.
 In their report Inspectors Tapley and Bray say that Captain Hotville gave as his excuse for not taking the Sylph in tow the alleged reason that at the time the Sylph was spoken the telegraph sys- tenn on the Oteri became impaired, and there was no direct manner of sending word to the engine room for reversal or the engines. The inspectors held that this excuse showed the master to be man without resources, and on that ground and grounds of negligence revoked his license.
