Miroy Woman Declares Lost Byers
Boy of SeeIyviIIe is With Band

Rushville, Ind, March Mrs.
John Ballenger, of Milroy, reports
that she is now convinced that she
saw the lost Byers boy, of Seelyyille,
last summer, with band of Gypsies,
near Andersonville, but she did not
think to report it at the time. She
says that the boy had brown cross
eyes, and that he tailed in every way
with the description of the missing
child
She is much grieved that she did
not report it at the time, and it has
worried her so that she is now taking
an active part in trying to get trace
of the boy. She has also started a
fund in which she is being assisted
by her neighbors, aided by Mrs. Geo.
H. Caldwell wife of the county treas
urer, who is soliciting contributions
from business men in this city, Mean
while DR.. Byers, father of the missing
boy, has placed an advertisement in
the local newspapers, saying no ques-
tions will be asked If he can only get
the boy. There is still standing re-
ward of 81 500 offered for the return
of the little one.

THEY ARE GIVEN FREEDOM
STROTHER BROTHERS FREE
Jury in Case Of Two Men Who Killed
Their Brothe er-in-Iaw William BY
waters at Culpepoer Return Yer,
dict Of not Guilty.

Culpepper. Va, March THE jury
this morning returned a verdict of
not guilty in the case of the Stother
brothers, who killed their brother-in
law William f. Bywaters.
James and Phillip Strother killed
Bywaters a few hours after he had
been forced TO marry their sister, be-
cause he refused To live with her.
They justified their deed through the
'unwritten law" theory. The trial
had occupied nearly two weeks and at
tracted wide attention. The jury was
out one hour and thirty-two minutes.
The announcement of the verdict
was the signal for an outburst of ap-
proval, which Judge Harrisan quickly
silenced When the effects of the
critical moments passed Judge Harri-
son addressed the jury as follows:
Gentlemen of the jury. | thank you
for verdict. which think will be ap-
proved by the public. 1t is an estab-
lished precedent In the state of Nir-
ginia that no man tried for defending
the sanctity of his home should be
found guilty"

Mccullough Certain of Enough
Votes to Pass 1t Over the
Governors Veto.
PLAN OF THE DEMOCRATS
WILL ACT AS oBSTRucTioNISTS
AND PREVENT LEGISLATION OF
ANY KIND UNLESS THIS MEAS
URE GOES THROUGH.

Indianapolis, Ind, March IA final
effort is to be made to pass McCul-
loughis metropolitan police bill over
the governors veto tomorrow morn
ing. Representative Mccullough in a
statement made tonight said that he
was confident that enough votes
would be mustered to carry the meas
ure to final passage.
From other sources it is said that
the democrats of the house are deter
mined to secure the passage of the
bill and that they are prepared to re-
sort to tactics which will prevent leg
islation of any kind unless the bill is
passed. There are several measures
which must be disposed of during to-
morrow's sessions, several of which
the majority party members feel that
they must pass to carry out campaign
promises. One of these bills is the
ditch bill which is made special or
der OF business at ten O'Clock Friday
morning.

GOVERNOR IN D|SFAvOR
WITH THE LEGISLATORS
Both Houses Passed Bills Over
His Veto.
ANTAGONiSM VERY PLAIN

Indianapolis, Ind, March 7.--Both
crack at the governor this afternoon
and the result was that two bills
which he had vetoed, will become
laws. Party lines were shattered dur
ing the voting to overrule Hanly, and
it is difficult to determine just where
lightning is going to strike next. The
Representative Furnaces bill which
had been marked with disapproval and
the senators were not backward in ex-
pressing their opinion of the man who
has made it necessary for them to
slap back.
In the house, the bill under consid-
Grafton, was the Vincennes university
claim for the payment of over 100000.
1t was sent to the governor three days
ago and received by him at exactly
2:30 o'clock and the message of con-
demnation was not received by the
house until 3:15 O'Clock, just forty-five
minutes after the expiration of the
constitutional three days Instantly
Representative Gerard endeavored to
get recognition, but owing to the fact
that the house was in session consid-
ering the appropriation bill, he was
ruled out of order.
When the house again resumed reg
ular business, Mr.. Gerard contended
that the bill was a law, owing to the
fact that the governor had not notified
the house of his disapproval before the
expiration of three days. Finally "A
motion was made to put the bill under
passage and on the vote being totaled
it was found that So favored sitting
down on the governor and SO had
stood by him.

HIGH TIME FOR REFORM
so SAYS COL. HEPBURN
Permitted to Increase Indebtedness
of Railroad se2, ,ooo, 900 without Ad-
ding Anything TO Its Assets.

Washington, March 7.-"Harriman
is the living justification of all the
railroad legislation that we have en-
acted, and all that we have attempted
to enact" said Col. Pete" Hepburn,
chairman of the house committee on
interstate and foreign commerce, as
he left the white house today, after an
interview with the president.
IF / understand the testimony of
Mr.. Hartman and his associates,
Alright" he continued, lit is possible,
under our present financial system,
for one man TO increase the indebted
ness of a railroad company by S92,-

worth of visible property to its assets.

such a condition of affairs, | claim

LOAFING ON THEIR JOBS
Law Makers Adjourn Instead of Hold
ing Night Session as is Gus
tomary at This Time.

indianapolis, March Tomorrow
is the last day on which laws may be
passed and from all indications the
day will be filled with wrangling and
lodging and the result is likely to
be that but few if any bills will be
passed up to the governor The
county treasurers' salary bill was
agreed to late this afternoon and it
of course will be given attention in
both the house and senate during the
day The same may be said of the
cities and towns bill and a dozen or
two measures which have been drag
ging for weeks. The fact that there
is not much of desire to pass laws
was indicated this afternoon when
both houses adjourned until tomorrow
morning instead of holding a night
session, which has always been the
rule at the close of the legislature.
