LAFAYETTE. Ind. Jan. ESPECIAL Tel
egram)-Richard l.. Metcalfe of Lincoln,
Neb. contributed what seemed to appeal
TO the Indiana democrats as the most stir
ring speech of the evening at the tenth
annual banquet of the Jackson club of this
city tonight. A number of prominent dem
ocrats from this and adjoining states were
on the program. Mr.. Metcalfe spoke on
Fallen Idols" and his effort aroused
great enthusiasm. The banquet was a
great success, more than 500 democrats
participating.
Mr.. Metcalfe's address was given careful
attention and at various intervals the
speaker was interrupted by enthusiastic
applause. In the beginning of his address
the speaker arraigned the republican party
for alleged misdeeds. saying it 'kneels at
the foot of the cross but worships the
impenitent thief" In recounting some OF
the fallen idols he enumerated Andrews,
the Detroit banker; Bigelow, the Milwau-
kee banker; Baer. Dietrich, Depew, the
McCalls. McCurdys, AleXanders, Hydes
Odells and Harrimans, Corey and other
financial and political leaders whose names
have been mentioned in recent affairs in
New York or their own states. His speech
was a caustic arraignment Of the repub-
ncan party, lts course ana Ieduers' ana III
this vein he said And now they even
boast that democrats are following Roose-
welt. But the records show that democrats
are following Mr.. Roosevelt only az
Roosevelt follows democracy"
! In closing his address Mr.. Metcalfe said
THE logic of history is inexorable. Ma
tions as we'll as individuals pay penaltie:
for their misdeeds and political parties arr
not exempt from the rule"
| He then predicted political battle com
pared with which the contest of 1896 wa,
/ but a skirmish fire" In his final utter
ance he said;
"The republican party in 1906 will los,
control of the lower house Of congress anC
in 1905 we will gain the presidency of th

HUMMEL'S APPEAL Is MADE
New York Lawyer Declares that His

an aftermath it and giving District At
torney Jeron .othority to proceed against
Hummel on indictments found against him,
two for subornation of perjury and one for
conspiracy, all three in connection with
the Dodge Morse case.
Hummel alleges that the indictments
found against him in January last are null
and void and any action under them should
be restrained by writ OF prohibition. He
contends that the indictment should not
stand because he was called as a witness
before the grand jury which afterward
found the indictment against him. He al
leges that he was sworn against his pro-
test that he was not only coerced into an
swering many of the questions put to him.
but was compelled to admit that his an
swers TO others might tend to incriminate
him"
In his brief, Hummel alleges that in one
instance there was threat to present him
to the court for refusing to answer a
question on the ground that 1t might tend
to incriminate him" The district attorney
holds that the indictments against Hummel
are valid and should stand.
Hummel was recently convicted on an
Indictment charging him with conspiracy.
He was sentenced to one year in the peni-
tentiary and in addition was fined 800. II
the court of appeals should invalidate the
indictments the judgment of conviction
already obtained would be set aside, but
if the court upholds the indictments 1t Is
believed that District Attorney Jerome will
place Hummel on trial at once on the in
dictments which charge subornation OF

Life & Trust company of Philadelphia, in
speaking today of the rumors emanating in
New York about the manner in which the
affairs OF the Provident company have been
conducted, admitted that the company had
employed counsel to have unfavorable bills
killed Mr.. Shipley said:
The Provident Life & Trust company paid
last year to Marlin E. Olmstead one OF
the leaders of the Harrisburg bar, and
United States congressman'-$'5 for using
surance bills buried in committees. 1t
also has paid for a number of years
salary of 5000 outside OF his regular com
missions, to William NJ. Scott one of It's
agents, for staying in Harrisburg while
the legislature has been in session, looking
out for bills that might affect the company
and having them killed. Last year Two
bills came up in the legislature which he
recognized as unfavorable to our company.
One concerned the right OF policyholdeTs to
vote and the other bill declared that In
surance companies should not be permitted
to invest their funds In the stock or bonds
of any corporation whose stock or bonds
might be held by any officer Of the insur-
ance company.
