FRENCH LICK AND
WEST BADEN DRY.

Paoi Ind, June 5.-The remonstrance
that was fled with the county com
missioners against selling intoxicants
in French Lick township, contained
net majority Of sixty-nine after the
Withdrawals had been counted At the
time the state authorities raided the
gambling houses at French Lick and
Best Baden. it was regarded as use
less to try to drive the saloons out
both the towns of West Baden and
French Lick being in the township but
the closing Of the big casinos acted as
an impetus, and a successful remon-
STRANGE is the result. The two towns
have supported eleven saloons, from
the receipts Of which the proprietors
accumulated great wealth Within the
next few months the majority of these
licenses will expire. although there is
one holding a license good till next
May.
There now remains only one town
ship CStampers Creek) in the county.
which has two saloons and two distill-
cries, but the temperance wave is work
ing in that township. and il may re-
suit in Orange county soon being with
out a licensed saloon. The application
70 retail intoxicants in Orange was
defeated this year by a remonstrance
with majority OF III. Two years ago
the remonstrance carried by a ma
jority of one. since which time the town
has been dry. Thomas Taggert
president OF the French Lick hotel, is
quoted as saying that the result is an
advertisement for his hotel. and that
the victory is a source of much salts

Committee Will Lay Matter
Before President Cam
eron Today.
A TIE.UP MAY RESULT
The Amalgamated Brotherhood VIII
Today Take Action on Soubn
Chicago Trouble.

Whether the street railway system of
South Chicago, Hammond, East Chicago
and Whiting will be tied UP in a gen
eral strike of the employees will be de
termined late today, when the result
Of the work of the committee of the
employees who have gone to Chicago to
lay the situation before President Cam
eron of the company and the committee
OF the Amalgamated Association Of
Street Railway employees. The men are
taking a firm stand. and declare that
unless F. L. Merriam is reinstated they
will call out the entire force.
That the company realizes the posi-
tion in which they are placed was
shown this morning. On the black
board bulletin, they announced to the
men the cause for the dismissal of
Merriam They claim that the reason
is that he was negligent in following
out the rules in crossing railroad
tracks, that he was not careful in the
running Of his cars and several other
minor excuses. superintendent Foules
stated that the company did not ex-
pect any difficulties with the men and
that the trouble would be settled in a
peaceable manner.
The voting was held in Kranz hall
at the corner of Ninety second and
Ewing avenue yesterday The vote
stood 81 in favor of striking unless
Merriam was reinstated and 80 against
the move The men were almost unani-
nous in their belief that the discharge
was uncalled for and that the company
invented the cause OF the discharge
For some time after Merriam was dis
missed the company did not take the
trouble to state the reasons for their
action. but the men state that when
thev took their stand the company then
gave out the excuses
The srfke will mean a tie-up OF the
entire system running through and
around South Chicago and surrounding
cities and towns and will cause a lot
of trouble. Merriam was an employe
Of the company and also held a posi-
tion as business manager of the Sub
urban. one of the strongest labor or
eans in the Calumet region. The mer
believe that the cause Of the discharge
was the Iatter's interest in the coming
question of an increase ef wages and
other union affairs

Defective switch to Blame.

The sDash-up was caused by the de-
railment of the huge eight-drive wheel
engine and its tender which, having
passed over a defective switch, strad-
died the point of the rail and ran off
into the road bed. The air hose was
Immediately severed, clamping down
the brakes with such sudden force that
the forward end of the train was stop
ped instantly. The momentum OF the
rear cars resulting from the high speed
carried them on with irresistible force,
and something had to give way. A
fiat car placed near the rear of the
train collapsed with the least resist
ance and crumpled up like a sheet of
paper. derailing and smashing five 9TH
er cars which were pushed upon it.
The pile Of smashed tops, trucks,
wheels and underframes made a spec
tacular sight as they laid in every con-
ceivable position on and about the
tracks. The fast work of the wreck
ing crew in charge of William Amy,
was most commendable, and probably
saved a still greater delay in traffic.
The wrecked train was No. 54S7, in
charge OF Conductor Erickson who. it is
said, ordered the train pulled into the
yard with unusual speed to allow the
passage of a passenger due at 1905.
An old trainman was heard to re
mark that if the latter had not been
two minutes late. it would have pass
ed the wrecked freight almost the ex-
act time of the accident and the re
suit can only be imagined 1t looked
like a close call at best and the num-
erous passengers who were compelled
to wait four hours for the clearance of
the track had a great deal to be thank
full for even If they were compelled to
suffer a long delay. The two minutes,
however, gave the operator at Gibson
sufficient time to head the approaching
train off without difficulty.

Liston, became frightened at the corner

JUDGE GILLETT
RENDERS DECISION
Declares Law Providing for
Superior Courts is
Constitutional.

In an opinion by Judge Gillett of
the supreme court, the new law Gre
aring the new superior court of Elk
Aart-St, Joseph counties is declared
coEstitutieEal IL It's decision the su
preme court reversed a judgment en-
joining the hoard of commissioners of
Elkhart county from making the ne
cessary expenditures to provide the
new court with place of meeting and
to maintain it.
The principal contention of counsel
for the appenees was that the general
assembly could not create a superior
court having precisely the same juris-
diction as the circuit court, but the su-
preme court says that the exact juris-
dfction of the circuit court itself is
not defined by the constitution. but
is left to be fixed by the Legislature.
And the authority to create other
courts besides the circuit courts ex-
pressly conferred on the legislature
by the constitution is held broad
enough to authorize the creation of
courts like the circuit courts
Judge Gilett's Opinion.
The court which sits at Elkhart,"
said Judge Ginett. although it has
the same jurisdiction as the circuit
court at Goshen, is, nevertheless, an
other court. Indeed. it would seem,
unless there is something evincing a
design to give the circuit court a par
ticular and unique jurisdiction, which
it is inadmissable to parallel from its
beginning to its end. that it would be
enough to distinguish the two courts
that one is presided over by a judge
who holds for six years. while the
other has a judge whose term can not
under the constitution, exceed four
years.
TIE existence of the power to fix
the jurisdiction of the circuit courts
has the sanction Of the earliest prac-
tice, beginning with the first session OF
the general assembly after the adop-
tion Of the cons titution."

ADVOCATES SMALL rAMrLrrs.

yvfsconsfn Unfversity Professor Op-
 posed t0 Presidents Hobby.
 Chicago, March 13.--Small families have a new champion In the person of Prof. Edward A. Ross, the University of wisconsin sociologist. who combats President Roosevelt's theory and lays down q novel argument for the re- strlction of the human race.
 He takes a stand against the pop- ular views of what he calls the hobby riders" and maintains that the cause of the shrinkage in population lies in the human will, influenced by certain factors which have their roots deep in the civilization Of our times" These factors, he declares, are degenefAcy. the emancipation Of women, and the decay of religious beliefs.
 Restriction of the birth rate he aI- leges, will have one result, "that iwarfs all otheFs,n namely, that 1t will check population pressure, which, he asserts, is the principal cause of war mass poverty, wo1fish competition and class conflict with restriction. he asserts. society will for the first time become master of its destiny"
 Professor Ross declares ft is a mis- take to attribute the decline in the birthrate to the popular cause as the comfortable ce1ibacy of cities the broadening freedom of divorce the postponement of marriage and others
