Editor of the Liberty Herald
Announces That He Will
Seek Congressional Honors
Against James E. Watson.
CREATES A SURPRISE:
STIVERS WATSON MAN.
Candidate Says He Will Meet
Voters of Various Counties
In Public Addresses in the
Near Future.

Liberty, Ind, Sept. 6-Charles w.
Stivers, editor of the Liberty Herald,
today came out as a candidate against
James E. Watson for the republican
nomination for congressman from the
Sixth Indiana district. The announce
ment of Mr.. Stivers' candidacy comes
as a considerable surprise as he has
hitherto been a staunch Watson sup
porter. His announcement reads as
follows:
The undersigned is a candidate for
the republican nomination for repre-
sentative in congress from the sixth
district subject to the decision of the
republican voters at the nominating
elections and conventions in the coun-
ties of the district to be held next
spring. | will meet the people Of the
district in their home counties in pub
lie addresses in the near future.
Respectfully
CHARLES w. STIvERS."
In an interview which accompanied
this announcement, Mr. Stivers states
that he is in the race for the office of
congressman until his party associates
uCSluC tAC tOAbCoL at Tic
He states that he stands for new deal
in the Sixth district. Mr.. Stivers is
opposed to machine or committee dom
nance in party associations. He says
that he believes in the expressed will
of his party at fairly conducted prima-
ries. Mr.. Stivers is opposed to an
oligarchy of presidential postmasters
and other government officials. He
states that he is also opposed to keep
ing any man in congress longer than
eight or ten years, to become simply
the guardian of certain interests and
the organizer of forces within the party
to attain selfish interests and mere per-
sonal ambitions.
Mr.. Stivers favors a revision of the
tariff, but not a revision that would
eliminate the protective policy. He
favors government control, and not:
ownership of all corporations and in
sists that all trusts should be compell-
ed to obey the law. Mr.. Stivers fav-
ors the restriction of immigration and
good character test for all foreigners
coming to this country. He favors
every just demand of labor and of ar
bitration for settlement of all contro-
versieS between capital and labor. He
also favors abolition of polygamous
mormonism and the reduction to the
minimum of the evils resulting from
the manufacture and sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors.
Mr.. Stivers is 81 years of age and a
self made man. He has been in the
newspaper business for the past forty
years and has been the editor of the
Liberty Herald since 1867. At one
time he was the owner of the Brook
vile American, and in 1876 he was ed
itor of the Rushville Republican.

UNUSUAL CASE BE-
FORE THE POLICE
James Williams CHARGED With
Mad InfatuatiOn for Mrs.
James Lee
SHE SEEKS PROTECTION.
AS HIS OPINION THAT WILL
LIAMS is NOT IN HIS RIGHT
MIND.

Heart rending sobs by Mrs. James
Williams and her young daughter.
caused by learning at police head
quarters this morning for the first
time that the husband and father is
in love with another woman, Mrs.
James Lee. caused Sergeant McManus
to order an officer 10 close all the
police headquarters and city court
room doors and TO order the women
to cease their sobs, which could be
heard out in the street. People pass
ing by the building thought some un-
fortunate wretches We're being put
through the third degree
Mr.. and Mrs. James Lee appeared at
police headquarters Thursday after
noon and entered a complaint against
Williams. Mrs. Lee stated that recent
ly Williams had become infatuated
with her and had insisted on her leav-
ing her husband. Mrs. Lee stated that
Williams wanted her TO run away with
him and had threatened TO kill her If
she did not do so. So persistent was
Williams in his attentions to Mrs.
Lee that when her husband was away
from home she would lock herself in
the house so that Williams could no.
get in. Mrs. Lee stated that she had
known Williams for several years but
he had never showed her any marked
attention until just recently.
Brought to Police Court.
Prosecutor Jessup had Mr.. and Mrs.
Lee, Mr.. and Mrs. Williams and Miss
Williams brought to police headquart-
ers. There Mrs. Lee told the prose
cutor again in the presence of Mrs.
Williams and Miss Williams of her
experiences with Williams. All that
took place within the chiefs private
Office is not known as the prosecutor
and Chief Bailey refused to make any
statements. 1t is known that Mrs.
Lee told the officials that among the
many things Williams mad infatuation
for Mrs. Lee had led him to do was to
send passionate letters to her in
which he stated that he was ready at
any time to go to the end of the world
for her and that he would expect her
to do as much for him. So persistent
has Williams been in his persecution
of Mrs. Lee, who is a woman of excel
lent character and devoted to her hus-
band, that she has been in fear of her
life. 1t was for this reason that she
braved publicity and told her troubles
to the police.
After the interview in the chiefs
office Mrs. Williams and her daughter
were ushered into the witness room
crying loudly. Prosecutor Jessup stat
ed that Mrs. Williams and her daugh-
ter had this morning learned for the
first time how Williams had been act
ing and that the shock had completely
overcome them. Prosecutor Jessup
stated that he did not know what
would be done with Williams. He be-
lieves the man to be mentally unbal-
anced. 1t is understood there will be
no prosecution.

Expect to See That Legislation

INDIANAPOLIS MEETING.

Indianapolis, Sept. 6.-The young In
surance companies of the Central,
Western and Southern states propose
to keep watchful eye on the legisla-
tive bodies of the different states In
which they operate.
The young companies and some OF
the old ones had genuine scare last
winter while the Indiana Legislature
was in session. They want to be pre-
pared for the next Legislature and In
fact for all of the legislative bodies
that meet in Ire next two years, and
with this end In view the delegates to
the American Life convention which
convened at the Claypool hotel yester-
day, organized all of the lawyer dele
gates into a legal section, whose bust
ness it will be to see that the chances
Of infant life insurance companies, are
not jeopardized by vicious laws that
might be placed on statute books.

WANT THE FOBS MADE
BY A RICHMOND FIRM
Detroit Baseball Team Has
Made a Request.
TIGER HEADS SUITABLE.

Hugh Jennings, manager of the De-
troit baseball team, in the American
league, recently made a request of
Gaar, Scott and Co, that it present the
members of the Detroit club with tiger
watch fobs, souvenirs which the COM
pany puts out each year. The Detroit
team is called the Tigers and for that
reason the players wanted the tiger
fobs.
The fobs are very desirable, there be-
ing a tigers head on a leather disc
and practically no advertisement on it..
The Gaar. Scott company. has not as
yet granted Manager Jennings request.
but may do so, if the club shows itself
worthy of the fobs by winning the
league pennant.

WANDERING WORKERS.
Many Skilled Mechanics Like to Travel
Over the Globe.

Over the Globe.
In New York may be found skilled
mechanics who have been wandering
over the globe for half a lifetime.
There are few trades in which a skill
ed man with the mastery of several
tongues cannot earn a living in almost
any considerable city of the world.
Most of the mechanics who move
thus freely about the world are CONT
mental Europeans. Woodcarvers, stone
cutters, electrical workers of various
kinds and garment cutters are among
the mechanics that move about most
freely.
The great temptation to such a wan
derer is the trip around the world. The
thing is not really difficult. He can
cross this continent proftably in few
months, with stop at Chicago and
perhaps another between Chicago and
San Francisco A stop of few weeks
or months at San Francisco will put
him in funds for the voyage to Aus
tralia.
There are four or five Australian
cities in which a skilled man is sure of
profitable employment. After Austria
liza there are the great Anglo-Indian
cities.
The journey to Europe can be made
with a stop at Cairo if one chooses to
make a little detour, and then Paris
awaits one only a few hours beyond
the end of the Mediterranean. Here
are cheap living and good wages. In
few months one Is more than equip
ped for the voyage to New York
One has only to keep sober and know
how to save money in order to make
such journey around the world with
entire success. 1t does not mean I'M
comfortable living. In fact, the jour
neyman must be well dressed and
must present good appearance to get
on. AT the height of the season hardly
any city has enough skilled garment
cutters, for example, and the wander
ers are always welcome when they
reach new town.-Washingto Post

MINSTREL SHOW is PLEASING.

Probably one of the best minstrel
shows on the road was that presented
by Donneliy and Hatfield at the Gen.
nett theatre Thursday night. The
work of Tommy Donnelly, Gov. Bow
en- and Nick Hufford was especially
well received as was also tht of the
severl talented vocalists with the COM
pany. The work of the Tuscano Bros.
battle axe jugglers, probably was the
feature act of the show.
