PROMISED EARLY TRIAL.

New York, Nov. >20.-Raymond
Hitchcock, the actor, refused to answer
questions put to him when he was
called as a witness in the action for
criminal libel brought by former Con
gressman William Astor Chanler
against William R. Hearst.
Hitchcock based his refusal on his
constitutional rights, in that, as he
was himself under indictment, he could
not be compelled to make answers
which might tend to incriminate and
degrade him. The witness was sus
tanned by the court and an adjourn
ment was taken as the defense was not
prepared to call other witnesses. Hitch
cock is under indictments growing out
of charges made by young girls and
tho libel alleged by Mr.. Chanler asso
ciats the complainant with Mr. Hitch
cock in the society Of these girls. The
defense asked Hitchcock whether Mr.
Chanler was present at the actors
great Long Island home on a certain
Sunday in the latter part of 1906
when two girls were guests at the
house. To this and other questions
the witness refused to reply.

More People Want to Patron
ize Dinner Than Can Be
Served With Ease.
OUTLAY A SPLENDID ONE.
WAS THE THIRD ANNUAL DIN
NER SERVED By THE CLUB AND
EcLIPsED THOSE THAT HAVE
PRECEDED 1T.

Six hundred people ate turkey dinner
today between the hours of eleven and
two o'clock. at the Pythian Temple. on
South Eighth street, and thus assisted
the ladies of the Penny club in their
noble work. The dinners served by
the Penny club have become famous,
and hundreds of people, especially bus
mess men, await this annual event
with expectancy. This was the third
year that the dinner has been served
and the attendance excelled that of
either of the previous years.
The dinner was sumptuous i'll every
way. the only drawback being the dlf-
ficulty of serving so many. The good
things served for twenty-five cents
were enough TO satisfy a man who had
been on u forty days fast. The din
ner included turkey, and plenty OF 1t.
cranberries. gravy, mashed potatoes,
dressing. slaw, coffee, bread and but
ter. celery and many other good things,
the only requisite being 10 get what
one wanted.
At noon the rush was so great that
dozens of people were lined up in the
halls, and aisles and along the tables
awaiting an opportunity TO seize the
first vacancy that occurred at the tab
les The ladies worked heroically and
did every thing in their power TO re
lieve the congestion.
Many expressions OF appreciation
were heard as to the excellence OF the
dinner. The one most expressive was
heard from boy who from the appear
ance of his plate had tremendous ap
petite, or else his eyes were bigger
than his stomach. As he pushed bach
from the table with still a good sizet
piece of turkey on his plate, he looked
at it sorrowfully for a time, then sigh
ed and exclaimed-"Gee! | wish | was
an elephant.

ISSUES ON WHICH TO BASE
SUIT ARE NOT MADE UP
Court Sustained Motion to Separate Causes
of Action AS Alleged in
the Complaint

One of the chief questions which
will be raised and on which the final
decision OF the case depends, will be
the cOnstitutionality of the act passed
by the legislature under which the
railroad commission is preceding. If
Judge Carter should decide thot this
act is unconstitutional, an appeal
probably will be made 10 the supreme
court by the railroad commission. The
case has not yet been set for trial. It
is not known definitely when the pro
position will be finally settled.
Although the case in which the To-
cal railroads figure is attracting much
interest, the similar action of the
Marion. Ind, Commercial club against
the Pennsylvania, c.. c. & l.. and To
ledO. St. Louis and Western railroad
is attracting much attention. Next
Friday afternoon at indianapolis both
the complainant and the defendants
in this case will appear before the In
diana commission. Both the Pennsyl
vania and the Glover Leaf road, as
it is popularity known, refuse to inter
change freight with the c., c. & l.
much to the dissatisfaction of ship
pers in Marion.

IssuesO on which the Indiana railroad
commission will base it's suit against
the Pennsylvania railroad and the C.,
c. & l.. for refusal to grant a physi-
cial union and freight interchange in
Richmond, have not yet been made up
by attorneys.
Judge Carter Of the Superior court
of Marion county. before whom the
case will come to a hearing has sus-
tanned the motion to separate the
causes of action alleged in the COM
plaint Demurers will be filed to the
separate paragraphs of the complaint
by the Pennsylvania railroad, by the
railroad commission attorneys.
AS the paragraphs in the complaint
stand at present. it is impossible for
Shiveley and Shiveley, local attor-
neys, who are acting for the railroad
commission, to answer the complaints
of the railroad as they should be ans
wered. Each separate clause in the
Pennsylvania complaint against the
Interchange will be answered in full
by local attorneys On the strength
of the demurs the case may be decid,
ed by Judge Carter.

Indiana" he said. and there are nine
ty-two different kinds of bookkeeping
by the county auditors. Every fellow
that comes into Office has his own
ideas. Some of them are good and
others are very bad. No attempt has
been made to bring about uniformity.
and now the auditors are beginning to
see the necessity for a change. 1t Is
likely that at this meeting a committee
will be appointed for the purpose of
preparing such a uniform system. and
it will be instructed to report at the
next annual meeting. If the associa-
ton succeeds in this effort it will prob
ably ask the next legislature to enact
a law establishing a uniform system
of public accounting.
We will ask Attorney General BinS-
ham TO make an address TO morrow
giving us his Interpretation of the pub
lie depository law. which goes into ef
feet on December !. We will also take
up the subject of gravel road and ditch
laws and seek TO have some kind OF q
uniform Interpretation of them. II
seems that every county attorney in
the State has his own opinion regard
ing the application of these laws. This
leads to confusion among the coun
ties
