INDIANA FAvoRs HUGHES.
Governors Popularity Grows as
Roosevelt's Wanes,

INDIANAPOLIS. November 29.-Lead-
ing republicans who are keeping tab on
the Indiana political situation say there
has been very decided increase in the
sentiment for Gov. Hughes of New York
In the last six weeks. and that if Fair
banks were not candidate the New York
executive would have the major part of
the Indiana delegation to the national con-
vention.
They report that the sentiment for
the same ratio that sentiment in favor of
the President for a third term has de-
creased, and they construe this to mean
that conservatism is making more rapid
strides in the state than the friends of
Fairbanks on one hand and the friends OF
the President on the other believe possible
six weeks ago.
There is evidence, they say, that the
Roosevelt Third Term League, which has
headquarters in Chicago, has either gone
to pieces or has concludedsto cease it's eff
forts till conditions are more auspiciouS,
for no one is at work in this state for the
President and no attempt is being made
toward erecting an organization for him.
1t Is also apparent. they assert, that no
systematic work is being done in behalf of
Gov. Hughes, but in all the cities of the
state and in some of the rural districts
the tendency to consider him. the most
available man the republicans can nomi-
nate is so pronounced that it cannot be
ignored even by those who would shut
their eyes to it.
The deduction is made from these condi-
tons that the selection of delegates to
the national convention cannot be made
in this state without some concessions to
the Hughes sentiment either in the way of
resolutions to which the Fairbanks men
would never consent, or to admitting to
w nI no
for the New Yorker in the event that
Fairbanks would not win the nomination
The friends of Gov. Hughes are there
fore expecting some quiet work to be done
as soon as the new state central commits
tee organizes in January. and out of it
will come an agreement by which Hughes
will be made the second choice of the
delegation without a contest

Where Law Is Violated,

In this weeks issue of the Patriot, the
official organ of the Federation of Liquor
Dealers, appears an Endorsement of the
action of the police of the first precinct in
proceeding against the owners of resorts
In the section just south of Pennsylvania
avenue for alleged illegal sale of liquor.
The MOVE says Editor Depona will
meet with the approval of all fair-minded
citizens of the District, and is a move
that cannot fail to bring about good
results. The law has been persistently
and openly violated for years. in the worst
manner possible, and the crusade against
tnese places will do much for the morals
of the city in general, and for its youths
IN particular. Young boys, not of age
unable to get drink in saloon, can go to
these houses and get liquor, and no aues-
lions are asked. They should be made to
pay license and be regulated

Vicinity of Union Station.

The suggestion recently made to the
Commissioners respecting the sale OF
liquor in the vicinity of the Union sta
ton is receiving some attention both in
saloon and temperance circles. 1t is
said that an effort is likely to be made
TO. saloon license in the new station
building. and that such an effort will
meet with strong opposition on the part OF
the Anti-SalOOn League. Attorney Shoe
maker. counsel for the league, told a
Star reporter he had not yet given any
thought to the question. but should an
application be made for az license there
he would certainly interpose an objection.
Not until such application is made. how
ever. will he spend any time looking into
the question of signers.
Mr.. A. B. Brown of 534 Sd street north
east, who wrote the communication sug-
costing the formation of a dry zone about
the new station. says saloonkeepers are
priding themselves on anticipated hold
ings near the station.
1T is admitted that several applica-
tons for licenses in the vicinity of the
man to Star reporter this morning, but
their success will depend largely upon
the character of the business they con-
duct. If license is obtained to do
business in the station it is not likely
that many saloons about the plaza could
exist. the distance from the station to
the places where the saloons would have
to be located being too great
He explained that the street cars are
certain to reach the station and. he
thought. patrons of the roads who want
strong drink are not likely to go away
from the station when they can be served
in the building

FOR and AGAINST LIQUOR
CONTEST ON OVER THE PRoHl
BITIoN ISSUE.
Liquor Dealers Anticipate Changes
in Law, But Not Abolition
of Traffic.

While the church and temperance or
CARNATIONS are making determined fight
for prohibition of the liquor traffic in the
District of Columbia, the liquor dealers
and others who are opposed to prohibition
are also busy making preparations for the
fray. Frequent meetings are being held
by those who are to have charge Of the
work of trying to head off prohibition leg
islation this winter. 1t is stated that the
local liquor men expect some change will
be made in the law regulating the traffic,
but they hardly expect the enactment of a
prohibition measure. They believe the
license tax may possibly be raised from
$500 to $1,000. and perhaps to $500.
But said a liquor dealer to a Star
reporter today. IF it is thought that such
an increase will get rid of Objectionable
places, the trainers Of the measure will
find themselves mistaken. 1t is the keep
er of the so-called groggery who is able
to pay the higher license. and who will
actually pay 1t. but such an increase may
be the means of putting out of business
some of the keepers of places of the bet
ter class. Most of the money that is made
in the liqusr business is made in the
places Where cheap goods are sold"

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
Two Cases Reported to Police Court
This Morning,

Charges OF cruelty beating a horse which
he was driving and of causing collision
which will probably result in the death of
the animal were preferred in the Police
Court this morning against Alexander H.
Banford. but when the cases were called
to trial Blanford failed to answer and
the $50 collateral which he lad put UP
was declared forfeited.
Blanford is a driver for Kerns Pie COM
pany. and yesterday. while driving near the
intersection of New Jersey and New York
avenues. he became angry with the horse
and began to whip it, The animal started
to run and plunging up the wrong side of
the street, II is declared, coilided with an
other horse and wagon. the shafts of this
second wagon penetrating the breast or
Blanfords horse in the collision.
Pedestrians who witnessed the incident
interfered and took charge of the injured
horse until Policeman Mulhall OF the sec
ond precinct arrived on the scene. After
an examination. veterinary surgeons de-
clared that the horse injured in the collision
would probably die.
He beat the horses until he was tired
out completely; then he kicked one of them
hard enough to kick out the windpipe" tes-
tined F. b Repp before Judge Kimball In
the Police Court today. a witness against
John Payne, colored, charged with cruelty
to animals.
The testimony showed that the horses Of
which Payne had charge We're attached to
a wagon loaded with sand and the load was
too great for the animals. When the
horses failed to pull the wagon, the wit
nesses stated Payne whipped them and
then jumped the tongue of the wagon
and kicked one of the animals until out
siders interfered
This is an outrageous case" stated
Judge kimball, at the close Of the testi-
| mony. Thirty dollars fine" In default
of the money, Payne will be on the rolls
of the District farm for three months.

BACHELORS DEFEAT
TEAM OF BENEDICTS

Two teams from Goldenberg's composed
of married and single men, played ball at
National Park Tuesday afternoon. and
after the smoke of battle had cleared away
the latter were declared the victors by
score of Is to 8. The benedicts were
classed as Remnants" and the bachelors
called themselves "P. MS" Brilliant plays
were conspicuous by their absence; but
what the game lacked in this respect was
made up in the number of amusing mis-
plays of which the Remnants were guilty
Robey pitched for the eligibles and his
mixed delivery was a puzzle to the oppos-
ing team, except on several occasions when
he slowed down and permitted the man at
the bat to strike the ball. In order that the
score would not be too lopsided
Owing to the inability of Lewis. third
baseman of the Remnants" to hold the
ball in his mitt the bac helors piled up five
runs in the first inning. The benedicts
worked valtantly to catch up but the "P.
Ms forged ahead in every inning.
Pop" Newmyer, who has played bah
for a quarter century, surprised the rooters
by making a hit on his third time up and,
after an overthrow by Baum to Van Ness,
which went into the bleachers, he made
the circuit of the bases at 2:3O clip being
assisted by several of his teammates who
grabbed various parts of his anatomy and
pushed him around from third. while the
eligibles were recovering the ball.
For the winners Frank. Jacob. Van Ness
and RObey played good ball. and for the
losers the work of Chamberlain, Cornwall,
Herring and Colman stood out in brilliant
relief

HANDED TWO LEMONS.
But Recipient Had First Annexed
Whole Boxful

Some have lemons thrust upon them;
others seek lemons. Richard Brown was
one of the latter class and he was sue
cessful in his quest.
Brown thought he would be content with
citrous fruit contained in a box which he
saw on a stand at the Center market Tues
day. and he did not wait to have the lem
ons thrust upon him. He just got a stran-
gle hold on that box of the sour fruit and
escorted it down the street.
Policeman Talbert was Of an alert eye at
that minute. and he naturally concluded
that Brown had not been handed the lem
ons, but had just naturally formed an af-
lection for them. The officer did not even
hesitate before asking Brown his right to
the lemons. Browns explanation was not
satisfactory and the officer added another
of that juicy fruit to Browns stock by es-
corting him to the first precinct station
house.
The lemon collector greeted Judge Mills
In the Police Court yesterday. and his
honor gave Brown another for his collection
in the shape of fifteen dry days in the jug.
