The Court at BIuffton Refused
To Hear a Plea in Abate-
ment Filed by the OefenSe's
Lawyers.
JUDGE WILL COME
HERE TO INVESTIGATE.
Personal Visit Will Be Made to
The EaSthaven Hospital to
Determine Condition of the
Murderer.

Bluffton. Ind. April 17.-Judge r. X.
Erwin, of Decatur. sitting as special
Judge in the celebrated John w. Ter
rell murder case Tuesday, refused ~
hear the Plea in abatment filed by the
defense. or hear any other motions in
the case until the defendant became OF
court in person. The judge said he
would make visit in person to the
hospital at Richmond to ascertain
whether or not Terrell is in his opin-
ion, in a fit condition mentally to be
placed on trial or to conduct the de-
tense of his case
Case is Ended.
Under this ruling of special Judge
Erwin nothing further can ba done i'm
the Terrell case. unless Terrell him
self should become sane and able to
personally appear in court. It has
been said that Terrell has only Leen
feigning insanity and should Judge Err
win become convinced that such is the
case when he visits him, he will or
der the state to make an arrest and
will then resume action in the case.
He based his ruling upon the only
similar case in the United States,
State of New York VS.. Freeman.
state Intereres.
When the motion was brought up
before Judge Erwin. the state, through
Prosecuting Attorney Emshweiler, and
Attorney f. c. Vaughn, filed motion
to require the attorneys appearing I'm
behalf of Terrell, to show their author
ity for acting in the case. One made
affidavit that their authority was EN-
ployed by relatives of Terrell Tho
prosecuting attorney also made a
showing that no arrest of Terrell had
been made and he was not. therefore,
in the jurisdiction of the court.
Court Explains Why.
The court. in refusing to rule on the
motions, said that il had come to the
attention of the court that the defend
ant was insane and that ii could sub
serve none of his interests. by taking
action in the case when he was unable
to so on trial. As to the plea of abat
ment, he said that the question of ieo-
pardv could only be raised after the
defendant was arraigned. and then IL
might be shown that he had been
placed in jeopardy. but that the plea
would not 60 as to the Indictment He
said that the second Indictment might
not have been legally returned as CON
tended. but there would be no use OF
ruling on that at the present time
The attorneys for Terrell said that
they were not ready to state what the
next step in the case would be.

John Kantner Decides tt
Stand Trial on Charge that
Is Made Against Him.
USED KNIFE ON WORRIES.
kANTNER'S CHANGE OF MIND
WAS A COMPLETE SURPRISE TO
SUPT. BAILEY AS HE HAD CON-
FESSED.

John Kantner, against whom the
grand jury has returned an indictment
charging him with assault and battery
with intent to commit felony, was
arraigned in the circuit court and en-
tered plea of not guilty. Last week
when the man was given his preiim-
mary hearing in the city court he
plead guilty to the same charge and
Chief Bailey states that he made a
Pauper Attorney Freeman to defend
Kantner and fixed Thursday of next
week as the date for the trial Kant
ner is said to be professional '.yegg-
man. and it is thought he has a bad
criminal record. Kantner's left arm
is amputated at the shoulder.
Story of the Case.
Last week Kantner approached JOS
eph Workes, while the latter was
standing in front of a store on North
Z street and requested Workes to give
him some money. When Workes re-
fused Kantner slashed at him with a
knife, ripping open the clothing but
inflicting no wound because of the
knife blade being turned by button
On Worke's undershirt After this as
sau1t Kantner fled but was arrested
the following day in a saloon on North
D street. 1t is not known what de-
fense Kantner will offer.

Miss LashIey of CenterviIle
Coming Strong and the Trio
Are Off in a Most SpectaCu-
lar Manner.
GEORGE MATTHEWS is IN
THE SHOP MEMS CLASS.
Gaar Scott EmpIoye Enters
With Good Vote Prof.
Huntziker, Backed by st.
Johns School Wants Prize.

With the advance made by the
Misses Elizabeth Sands and Elizabeth
14ashley the race for the woman teach
ers' prize In the Palladium and Sun
Telegram jamestown exposition con-
lest, at present becomes a three cor
nered affair with Miss Lucille Mayr
still included as one of the leaders.
Miss LashIey is Centerville teacher
and her friends are working hard for
her
Among the men teachers the event
of most consequence during the day
was the entrance into the contest of
Prof Huntziker of the St Johns Ll-
theran school. 1t is we'll known that
the members of the st. Johns church
are very loyal to each other and it Is
safe TO say that Prof. Huntziker, who
is very popular will run good race.
Prof. Davis continues to lead the men
teachers but he is closely followed by
Prof. Richter Prof. Brunson of the
Garfield continues to add to his vote in
substantial way.
Harry Buntin Runs Strong.
Among the men clerks it seems that
Harry Buntin appreciates the prize at
stake better than anyone and he has
already secured a commanding lead.
Miss Elizabeth Hershey holds the first
place among women clerks with ease
In this class and in the woman shop
employees race there is a splendid op-
portunity for some one else TO come
in with good chances of winning. 1t
may be that women are a trifle reluc-
tant about taking up such PROPOSE
fion They should not be in the least.
The very fact that so many estimable
women school teachers are striving
for the privilege of going on the trip
should be proof sufficient that the trip
will be properly conducted from a wo-1
mans standpoint
Additional interest has been created
into it of Geo. Matthews. of the Gaar
Scott company. In this class it prom
ises to be a race of shop against shop.
An employe of the Hoosier Drill COM
pany in the Office today said that min
ety per cent of the men at the Hoosier
Drill would work for William Russell,
who is one of the most popular work
ing men in Richmond. George knight
of the Starr Piano company takes the
lead over Fred Reynolds of the same
concern.
A day brings forth many changes in
the vote. Watch the count; it's as ex-
citing as a county fair race.

The above cut shows in a far from
adequate way what the Palladium and

party will see. A fine expanse of
water, many costly buildings and a
great fleet of war vessels are among
the pleasing features which the party
will enjoy without cent of cost.
In all this broad land from the At
1antic to the Pacific, or from Maine
to Mexico, it would be hard to find
a spot more favored by nature and
environments for a great international
exposition. There may be other bod
les of water as broad and deep as

locked, but they are not SO accessible

Not Pleased With Plan for
Brick Paving on North e
Street, 10th to 10th.
CLAIM is TOO EXPENSIVE.
ALSO THAT MACADAM WILL
PROVE FAR BETTER-lNTEND
TO SEND A COMMUNICATION
TO COUNCIL.

Manufacturers of North Z, between
Tenth and Sixteenth, are displeased
over the attitude taken recently in
council in regard to improving the
condition of that street and state that
under no circumstances will they
peacefully submit to the city placing a
brick street with cement sidewalks
and cutters in this territory. The
manufacturers state that it is the
height of nonsense, as a brick street
and cement sidewalks and cutters,
are not what they want nor what they
need but that a macademized pave
ment, such as other streets of the
city have at the present time, is most
desirable. Brick, according to the
statement of one of the prominent fac
tory owners will be Objectionable be-
cause of the increased assessment oy-
er a macademEed street and will be
exceedingly dangerous to their horses
during the winter months, when heavy
loads are hauled in the factory dis
trict
Views Are Stated.
In speaking of the matter one of
the men interested said: 1T is a rank
injustice to us. who are among the
largest tax payers of the city The
city should accede to our wishes in the
matter. 1t is generally known that in
factory territories, cement sidewalks
and cutters are not needed We have
good brick sidewalks at present and
these are good enough for factory ter
ritories such as the one our plants are
located in. Furthermore the cement
sidewalks and cutters would not last
with the heavy loads daily passing ov-
er them. They would be cut to pieces
in a short time The condition Of E
street, between Tenth and Sixteenth is
bad; we know it needs remedying. but
why go to a great expense for an i'm
proyement which will be absolutely
worthless to us? We do not want the
brick. We do not want the cement
sidewalks and cutters and We intend
TO make the warmest fight of our lives
TO prevent such action We do want a
good macadam street"
A petition viii be drawn soon and
signed by the factory owners in the
district and probably will be
TO the city council at the
next meeting.

Space That Was Used Last
Year Will Be Ample for
The Coming Season.
CHANGES IN THE STREETS.
COMMITTEE WILL MAKE AN EF-
FORT TO GET AN AUDITORIUM
TENT THAT WILL BE ABSo-
LUTELY WATERPROOF,

At the meeting of the tents and
grounds committee of the chautauqua
held Tuesday night in the rooms of the
Commercial club, several bids by diff.
ferent companies were submitted. but
none of them was decided upon and
will lot be for some time The only
thing Of Importance considered was
the changing of the locations of sew
eral streets, but this will be left en-.
tirely to the Judgment of the city civil
engineer. The chautauqua plot will
not be enlarged this year, as last year
there was space for about one hundred
tents which was unoccupied. and it is
not thought advisable to take in more
ground.
Tent Question Up.
In connection with the consideration
of tents. communication was read
from Secretary Shaw stating that he
knew where the committee could get a
bette- proposition than it had last
year. As the freight on the tents fig
ures largely in the cost, it is hoped 20
secure them from a firrs close to Rich
mond.
The auditorium tent proved the
source of much trouble last year be-
cause it would not turn water, and
the committee Will endeavor to secure
a tent this year which will be abso-
lutely waterproof.
