That the soldiers of the Union army are passing off the stage Is shown by the fact that there was a net decrease of 13,47O pensioners for the past year. the heaviest falling ofr in the history of the pension bureau. For many years 1t has been said that the high water mark had been reach. ed and 1t looks now as if the list will annually diminish. The report of the Secretary of the Interior shows that the number of names On the pen sion list is at present 9s5,971. Of this number 666,345 are men who saw actual service in the army or navy. The other third is made up of widows or dependents of deceas- ed veterans. A notable fact discIc sed by the secretary's report is that there was an unexpended balance of s1,520,OOO at the close of the fiscal year left over from the appropriation.

Los Angeles (Cal.) is not so com pletely under the control of race pre- judice as San Francisco Is. and does not appear tC be eager to back up the lat ter city in it's course regarding Japa- nese pupils in the schools An attempt to get the school board of Los Angeles to take action in support of the San Francisco school authorities was promptly squelched. The Superinten- dent of the Los Angeles schools said there were more than 100 Japanese children in the schools, and 50 far as he knew they had given the teachers no trouble This is a larger number of Japanese pupils than were In the San Francisco schools when the action excluding them was taken.

Tt is absurd" forcibly declares The Washington Post, ito say that the Pres ident and the Senate can violate the Constitution Ky treaty with Japan when it is admitted that it cannot be null lined by act of Congress. If the tenth amendment is suspended by treaty with Japan, the first amendment can be wip- ed out by treaty with England.

IMMENSE OFFICIAL FEES.
An Ohio County Auditor Gets Twice the President's Salary.

An Ohio County Auditor Gets Twice the
 President's Salary. Cleveland Leader.
 The sum of $i13,2e5.72 in met fees was received by Robert c. Wright, County Auditor. for the fiscal year, ac ccrding to the figures which he report ed to the office of the Secretary of State of Columbus. This is more than double the annual salary of the Presi- dent of the United States. The records of the Secretary of States office show that no other officer in Ohio. whether State. County or municipal. ever before received anything like this sum for one years. work.
 MT Wright already held the record for high compensation, two years ago, by having reported 1000. Accord ing to State authorities that figure is mainly responsible for the abolition of the fee system last winter by the State Legislature
 Next in importance as 70 amount comes the net income of the County Treasurer, s67,521.64, which J. F. Mad igan, the incumbent, reported to the Secretary of State.

 Mir. Cameron, who IS an ex-banker. feels great interest in the proposed sub-treasury to De established soon m one of the Southern cities.
 T believe said MT. Cameron, the light for the location of the Treasury cites. Atlanta and Birmingham.
 Atlanta always claims the earth, and gets a large share of 1t, too, put we are not going to be bluffed of by loud talk Birmingham has practically ev- cry member or Congress from Alabama pledged to her support and has a pos. sibflity Of getting the prize. but all Alabama ought 10 get together and

Mobile recognizes the fact that no other city m Alabama except Birmingham has any showing to be selected. | trust we VIII have Montgomerys assistance ih this ate It.
 "If we can give Congressman Un- derwood solid. undivided Alabama delegation to hack him up in his efforts for Birmingham we have a chance to be selected. If we are divided among ourselves, 1t means the selection of AL lanta Is made almost certainty.
 T hope we can get together and make 1t unanimous for Birmingham; it Is Alabama's only chance and we should not spoil 1t py dividing our forces"

 Favsrs the Parkway.

T have been wcndering," said a well known citizen yesterday what plans the Park Commission have been working on. or if they have. reached any decision as to steps to be taken toward beautifying the city.
 Some time ago we had noted land- scape gardner in Montgomery. who went oyer the city and its suburbs, to get an idea of the possibilities in mak- the things suggested was river drive, similar to the famous River Drive fa Philadelphia. He suggested, also, oth- CT improvements, which would doubt less result in greatly benefiting the appearance of Montgomery. Now, while am not in position to pass on any of his suggestions, that which ad- vocated the drive along the bank of the Alabama River impressed me as having specially great possibilities.
 T know the Park Commission has been considering changes which will make the city more attractive. and have been especially interested in the outcome of their deliberations in re- gard to the driveway. know that progressive Montgomerians are, at least the great majority of them. in favor of landscape adornrnent, and I know greatly enhanced if we had such a driveway as could be made along the rfver.
 The Commission would make no mis- take. In my opinion, by taking steps which you'd lead to the building of a road. Of course, there are other plans and suggestions to consider, but would like to see the driveway proposition pushed and carried out"

SLUGC|NG MATCH
At CAMBRIDGE CITY
Five Hundred People Out to
See Football Game on
Sunday.
KNIGHTSTOWN DEFEATED.
CAMBRIDGE WAS ABLE TO WITH
STAND THE ROUGH TACTICS OF
THE VlSlToRs-RiCHMo TO
PLAY ON THANKSGIVING.

Cambridge City, Ind, Nov. 2b-The
game Of football between the local
high school eleven and team OF
"sluggers" from Knightstown, was
pulled off yesterday afternoon at the
L. e. x w. grounds, despite the re-
ported efforts to have it stopped. The
locals were victorious by score Of b
to 0. A crowd of over 500 people wit
messed the game.
The visitors started smuggling and
brutal playing early in the game and
kept It up during both halves, but
gained nothing by it as the local team
was able to withstand the roughness
and block all attempts made at scoring
by their opponents. Several members
of the regular high school team did
not enter yesterdays game for fear OF
being injured and then be unable to
play against the Richmond team on
Thanksgiving. The local team has
not been scored on in any of this sea-
sons games, and hopes to hold this
good record in the final game next
Thursday.

NO DECREASE SHOWN
IN THE DEATH LIS
The New Rules Have Not Re
duced the Fatalities in
Football.
ELEVEN HAVE MET DEATH
NINETY-ElGHT HAVE BEEN IN
JURED- NOT ALL OF THE
DEATHS ARE TO BE CHARGED
TO THE GAME ITSELF.

Chicago, Nov. 25.-Statistics gather
ed from all over the country on the
result of the new rules. which were
supposed to have debrutalized football
show no decrease in the death list.
Approximately there are eleven
deaths and ninety-eight were injured.
Indiana contributed one to the death
roll.
The statistics show a decided de-
crease in the number Of high school
and college victims. All of the high
school and college games were play
ed this year under the new rules. The
purpose of these rules was to devise
a game that would be less dangerous
than the old style of football.
1t is obvious in this report, which
comes just at the close of the season,
that all of the deaths are not to be at
tributed to the game itself. Overex-
ertion and a refusal on the part of the
player to stay out of the game on &C
count of illness Is said to be the cause
OF at least one mans death
That so many of the dead and in
jured in this years report of the cas-
ualties of the gridiron were players on
teams outside of colleges and high
schools tends to confirm the theory
Of the coaches that the new rules If
enforced will eliminate the most dan
gerous elements of the game.
Another striking fact shown by the
figures is that most of the accidents
occurred On teams of the smaller col
leges and high schools. Not a single
serious injury is reported from Harv-
ard, Yale Princeton and the Univer-
sity of Chicago. Michigan had two
men hurt late in the season, but It is
said that both will recover. In the
three big games of last Saturday not a
man was injured. But two more star
games are to be played this season.

BY FALSE REPORT
Stated That Butler Might
Make a Protest Against
Playing of Wann.
CLAIM is NOT ELIGIBLE.
If ANY PROOF is DEMANDED 1T
WILL BE FORTHCOMING
HAM STICKS CLOSE TO THE
COLLEGE RULES.

The reported protest against Mana
ger Wann Of the Earlham team in the
Indianapolis News Of last Saturday has
stirred the students of Earlham to d
great extent and for a time they were
almost frantic at the idea OF losing
their happy, go-lucky manager, as it
was realized that at this late date it
would be almost impossible to fill his
place satisfactorily. The Quakers
state that Irvington is laboring under
an erroneous impression concerning
their genial manager. and that ii they
demand proof of eligibility it will be
forthcoming.
Earlham has always been very care
full not to violate any /. c. A. l.. rules.
1t has insisted on her athletes keeping
up their class standing and has stood
for the principle of fair, honest sport
and no protests relieving that her II
walls were as careful as she concerning
their college honor.
1t is fine thing to know that all the
Indiana colleges are working for the
same emu, e. &, 10 nave sport LOT
sports sake. SO far no protests OF
any players have been made, while ii
! is known that several colleges have
| debarred some of their best men. The
old notion of win at any cost has given
away to the more rational idea that
athletics are a necessary part of the
educational scheme. To further this
scheme the student body at Earlham
will be divided into two factions nam
ed after the two college colors, yellow
and white. Each party will have its
teams in each of the great sports, Wis.
college foot ball, soccer football, has
ket ball, base ball and track. In ad

dition to this there will be contests
more general in character which will
require the services of every student.
These contests will eliminate in a
grand field day which will be held on
Reid Field during commencement
week. 1t is hoped to make the sides
SO even that victory will not be decid-
ed until the last events have been run
off. In succeeding years as interest
grows, the rivalry will be keen as a
student will be required to stick to his
color through his entire college career
The Alumni will flock back to see their
faction win.

HENRY WARRUM MAY
LEAD BRYAN|TE ARMY
Suggested as President of In
diana Volunteers.
DEMOCRATS FORM CLUBS.

indianapolis, Nov. 2o.--Henry War
rum of this city, is being talked of for
president of the big federation of dem
course, a federation of that kind shall
be formed. The plan was mentioned
by w. ]. Bryan when he was at La
fayette the first of the week. He
spoke of the great fighting qualities of
the volunteer political worker and
pointed out the great work that could
be accomplished by an organization
made up of that kind of timber.
J. Kirby Risk of Lafayette, heard
the tip and knew what it meant AS
soon as Bryan was out of town he
started in to organize. A dispatch
from Lafayette today says that demo
cratic clubs were organized last night
in Fountain, Warren, Benton, New
ton, White Carroll and Tippecanoe
counties, and that the work will be
pushed until all the counties in the
state are organized. William GUIDE,
of the Merchants National bank of La
fayette, was elected president of the
Tippecanoe club.
State Organization to Be Formed.
1t is understood that a meeting Is
to be held in this city next week for
the purpose Of forming State organ
ization. When Mr.. Warrum was
asked today about the new organiza-
ton, he said: "Over at Lafayette, Kir-
by Risk said something about organic.
ing clubs, but think he must have
meant merely campaign clubs. l do
not believe permanent clubs could be
organized, because Democrats do not
work at politics except in campaign
years. Risk said something to me
about my becoming president of the
league of clubs, but that is as far as
1t has gone. l hope they do not elect
me president. l don't want the job
The fact Is, have become muscle
bound in politics, and do not like to
go out at nights"

SMILE INDICATION
OF THE CONFIDENCE
The Liquor War at New Castle
Comes to An End This
Week.
RESULT is NOT KNOWN.
WORKERS NEED
ONLY SEVEN HUNDRED NAMES,
BUT THEY ARE TRYING TO GET
ONE THOUSAND.

New Castle, Ind, Nov. 25.-Only
four days yet remain for the temper
ance forces to Dust the saloons and
liquor traffic from this city and Henry
township. The actual campaign has
now been under way for the past sew
en- days and although no definite infor'
nation has been given out from the
main headquarters as to what the re-
suit of the work has been, yet all the
temperance workers approached on the
matter wear the smile that won't
come off,
1t is unoffcially stated that the nee
essary number of signatures has been
secured and that all that remains to be
done now is the shouting, but this
can not be verified. In all OF the
churches yesterday the services includ
ed temperance excerpts and all those
who are engaged in the movement
were urged to keep it up during the
coming week.
Although it is only necessary TO Sc
cure TOO names of voters Of the town
ship. yet the temperance people have a
desire to make it good and strong and
will try to secure 1000 names by next
THANKSGIVING night. Should the nee
essary number be secured by Thanks
giving that day will be made the occa
sion for a big celebration meeting II
all the churches Of the city.

JURY DISCHARGED:
COULD NOT AGREE
Eight of Members Were for
AcquittaI of Steve Adams,
Alleged Murderer.
FOUR VOTED TO CONVICT.
THE TRIAL WAS ONE OF THE BIT
TEREST IN THE HISTORY OF
IDAHo-coNFEsS OF ADAMS
WAS A REVOLVING ONE.

Rathdrum, Idaho, Nov. 25.-The jury
in the Steve Adams murder case was
discharged Sunday afternoon, being
unable to agree on a verdict, after be-
ing out since $50 o'clock Saturday
night
Four men believed Steve Adams
guilty of the murder Of Fred Tyler in
the Marble Creek district of Shoshone
county, Idaho, in August 1901, and
eight were for acquital.
The trial of Adams was one of the
bitterest in the history Of Idaho. Clar-
ence barrow, who defended William D.
Haywood, who was charged with con-
spiracy to assassinate Governor Steu-
nenberg, was the attorney for the de-
Tense. The alleged confession of Ad-
ans, in which he implicated Meyer,
Haywood and Pettibone in the assassi-
nation Of the governor, played an i'm
portant part in the fight for the life 81
Adams.
The confession was one Of the most
revolving in the annals Of crime. II
was alleged that this confession was
made to a Pinkerton detective. In
clood-curdling details it rivaled the
confession of Harry Orchard, who, in
TIE trial of Haywood. was branded the
arch liar" of the century.
The victory for the defense has beer
hailed here with delight. There ha:
been a marked degree of sympathy
manifested for the prisoner since the
| trial first was called. The trial o.
Pettibone is the next on the calendar
and it is believed that barrow will sue
coed in clearing him and completely
| shattering the theory of the prosecu
| ton that the assassination Of Governor
Steunenberg was the work of the West
ern Federation of Miners.

CITY MILL WORKS
AGAIN TO THE FORE
Court Asked to Rule on Priori-
ty of Lien.
MORTGAGE is IN THE WAY.

The old Richmond City Mill works
again has bobbed up before the public
in circuit court, when Judge Henry G.
Fox was asked to decide the priority
of lien and mortgage on the proper
ty. About one year ago the Fair
banks-Mo Co, of Indianapolis, filed
lien against the mill works property
for a debt for machinery, furnished by
that company. Prior to this lien
there was a mortgage filed. however,
and before the Indianapolis company
could secure Judgment, the priority of
the separate claims had to be decided
Judge Fox ruled in favor of the mort
gage.
