TANGLE IS CONFUSING
STATE LIFE,S TROUBLES
When It Looked as ii the Difficulties
Were at an End, More Trouble
Came to Light, and the End is Not
in Sight at the Present.

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept %. (Spl)-
The State Agency company mess is
now in worse tangle than ever, ow-
ing to the failure or refusal of Andrew
NJ. Sweeney, the president of the
State Life Insurance company, to in
dorse, as was planned, the notes that
Van Laningham, the former presi-
dent of the company was to file to Sc
cure the stockholders in the agency
company.
After negotiations were practical
1y closed yesterday-negotiatio that
looked to the final settlement. came
the astonishing story that there was
hitch, and investigation confirmed
the trouble. Sweeney, the president
of the life company, refused to indorse
jointly and severally with the other
directors, saying that he would in
dorSe to the extent of one-tenth of
the obligation, about $163,000. This
threw the matter all in the air again,
and there it remains.
No one knows what will come next.
Any day may bring radically different
changes. 1t seems probable, howev-
err. that the directors of the State Life
will continue to make every effort to
pull the agency company stockhold-
ers out.

PANAMA JUNK IS

Lars Worth of French

RAY OF HOPE APPEARS

LOWS PESSIMISTIC VIEWS
THE UNITED STATES is DOING
WELL WITH HERITAGE.
Publishers P-ess1

Washington, Sept. 22.-In spite of
Poultney Bigelow's pessimistic views,
not all of the expenditures on the Pan
anna canal have been dead loss.
Uncle Sam is now interested in the
junk business, and as result he
finds himself possessor of more than
81 000,O 900 worth of this material
which is now being collected and sold.
The junk in question is a part of
the rights and interests acquired from
the French promoters, and consists
chiefly of sad memorials of their fail
ure. That the cleaning up is a
wholesome one is indicated by the
fact that one item of the scrap for
sale is made up of 240 Belgian en-
gines. AS a matter of fact, practically
none of the machinery bought of
France is of any use to Engineer Ste
vens, and consequently very little of
it is operated. Then too, beside the
pickings, which the national purse
has gotten from the junk, there is al
so that added income which the, c6\l.
struction of the canal has given to the
cement industry. There seems to be
ray of hope here and there in the
situation, in spite of mosquitoes, rain
and the pessimistic views of various
gentlemen.

INSANE FOR MANY YEARS
UNUSUAL CASE DEVELOPS
Mrs. Mary Shocks of Marion to Be

Mrs. Mary Shocks, 4e years of age,
and who has been insane for more
than dozen years, will soon be
brought from Marion to the Richmond
hospital for the insane. Yesterday
she was placed in the county Jail at
Marion to await the time when she
can be admitted to the hospital.
For the last seven years it has been
necessary to restrain the woman and
during this time she has been confined
to a room which her parents arranged.
The parents have cared for the unfor-
tunate woman as best they could.
Because of her violence it was believ-
ed it would be best to remove her to
the county Jail and an effort will be
made to secure her admission to an
asylum. The father of the woman
claims that her insanity is due to cru
ell treatment administered by her hus-
band, v)ho deserted her a short time
before she lost her mind

GENERAL FUNSTON
STARTS FOR HAVANA
Leaves Washington City for
Cuban Capital to Confer
With Taft.
PREPARING TO COMMAND
is No Longer Doubt that United
States Anticipates Clash in the
Near Future.

Washington, Sept 30. - Brigadier
General Funston. who has been or
dered by Secretary Taft TO meet him
at Havana and give him the benefit OF
his knowledge of Cuban affairs, left
here over the Atlantic Coast line at
3:45 p. m, accompanied by his aide,
Lieutenant B. j. Mitchell of the
Twelfth infantry General Funston is
going direct to Tampa. where ne will
at once board the regular steamer for
Havana and hopes TO be in Havana
not later than Tuesday morning.
In discussing his trip General Funs-
ton said that he looked forward TO 1t
with a good deal of interest because
he hoped to meet in the bush" some
of his old comrades in arms under
General Maxine Gomez, as well as
some others who have remained with
the government. General Funston
spent the entire morning at the war
department holding final conferences
with the chief Of staff and other Off
GERS, but he declined to make any
SIdtcIQCAl ICSdiuiAs tie SiSpS pCiiS
taken by the government toward in
tervention.
War department officials professed
to know nothing of the situation in
Cuba beyond what they have seen in
the press dispatches, but it is known
that preparations for the possible oc-
cupation of Cuba are rapidly going on.
With view to meeting any possible
emergency that may arise in connec-
ton with Cuba, the quartermaster
generals department is busy making
its preparations. Proposals are al
ready out calling for bids for supply.
ing large numbers of horses and
mules, and these bids will be opened
in this city next Tuesday, requiring
almost immediate delivery of the ami
mails. Officers of the quartermaster's
department of course do not admit
that these animals are intended for
Cuban service, but there is no ques-
ton that this is one OF the measures
that are being taken with such an
emergency in view.

THE EASY PATH
MAY BE BLOCKED
Lawyers Not to Be Created
With Such Rapidly as in
the Past.
LOCAL LAWYERS r.PPROVE
IF AMENDMENT TO CONSTlTU-
TON is MADE THERE MUST BE
SOME SPECIFIC QUALiFICA-
TIONS FOR WORK.

Richmond lawyers have very of
ten expressed themselves as being
much in favor of law which would
fix requirements for the young man
who seek to become members of the
profession. Under the present Gus
tom the examinations are farce. If
a man is of good character that is
about all is necessary. and the men
tai qualifications are not considered.
OF course. the man who lacks ability
will not succeed, but he gains admiss
ion to the ranks. and in some in
stance ekes out an existence by re-
sorting to questionable tactics. 1t is
now decided that the State Board of
Election Commissioners will submit
to the voters at the next general cleo
ton the constitutional amendment
relative to the qualifications of law
yers.
This amendment has had. like any
other proposed amendment. long
row to hoe. introduced in the legis
1ature in 1908 by Representative Bam-
barger of Marion county, it passed
both the branches as a joint resolu-
tion. 1t was then submitted to the
members or the last general assem-
bly,, both branches. and passed again.
Now it is up to the voters of the
state to say whether it shall be adopt
ed.
The constitutional amendment is
self merely provides that ''the gen.
eral assembly shall by law prescribe
what qualifications shall be neces-
fsary for admission to the practice of
law in all courts of Justice 1t is,
of course, of large interest to the
members of the profession, and di-
irectly of interest to no one else. It's
adoption by the voters at the cleo
,tion in November will mean that the
next session of the legislature will
pass some law regulating the quail
lfications under which an applicant
can become member of the bar

a tremor as his wrists were fastened
into the iron bracelets. Warden Me
serva administered the punishment
The heavy whip with its nine leather
thongs, each about one-sixth OF an
inch in diameter, fell across the cul
prit's bare back, with a force that
raised a large welt. This was repeat
ed 80 times and the warden monoton-
ously kept audible count. Conley
never uttered a sound until the six
teenth stroke, when an agonized
oh" was forced from his lips, and
was repeated until the last blow fell
upon the quivering flesh. The lashes
were carefully distributed, SO that no
blood was drawn. The mans back,
however, was a mass of dark welts
waist. Conley staggered slightly when
he was released, but was able to walk
to his cell, where he entered upon his
sentence of imprisonment for half
century.
