German Societies to Fight "Coercive
Laws

The United German societies OF Fl.
Wayne, have adopted by unanimous
vote resolutions pledging members
not to support candidates for office
who have not pledged themselves to
resist the further enactment of what
they call "coercive laws" regarding
the observance of Sunday and the reg
ilation of saloons.
The German Alliance. OF Fl
Wayne, is a union OF most of the
German societies of the city 1t is a
mSmber of the State Federation of
German societies of Indiana ard the
State federation belongs to the Ma
tional German Alliance which recent
ly held its national convention in New
York Ii claims a membership of a
million and half citizens of German
or of German descent in the forty
States.
The purpose of the national alliance
It's members say, is to awaken and
strengthen the sense of unity among
the people of German origin in Amer
lea; to promote the political power Of
united action TO protect such legiti-
mate desires and interests as are not
inconsistent with the common good
of the country and the rights and du-
ties OF good citizens" 1t has also a
purpose TO check ''nativistic en-
croachments"
The resolutions which have just
been given to the public are prefaced
with an extended statement in decent
regard for the opinions of the world"
to show that the difference between
monarchy and republic is that a
republic is governed by the consent OF
the governed. 1t is asserted that the
laws objected To are enacted by leg
.slatures controlled by rural voters
because cities do not have the repre-
sentation they deserve
The statement says that the UNI;
ed German societies Will, before the
primaries. investigate the position OF
the candidates in regard to Sunday
laws II will not support candidates
who are for a rigorous enforcement
OF the Sunday laws, and in this it is
in harmony with the majority of the
inhabitants of Ft Wayne. For this
purpose it will combine with organi-
zaiions such as the Irisf< and the
Franko-A Americans, also with such or
CARNATIONS consisting of American
born citizens which likewise do no.

his prospective father-in-law for his

Slow Work Getting Jury.

Attorney Wilson for the defense in
the trial of Caleb Powers, at George
town. KY, Saturday asked Judge
Morris for time to prepare motion
challenging the entire venire of 100
men from Harrison county
The defense had men follow the
deputy sheriffs into Harrison county
and watched their conduct in sum
moning veniremen. 1t is said some
startling charges will be made in the
motion of the defense for the dis
missal of the veniremen.
When court convened Saturday
the examination of veniremen was
continued. Sixty-three of the 100
men selected from Harrison county
had been examined Friday and but
FIVE men accepted.

Defects Exist in Warships.

Serious errors in battleship con-
struction continue to be made by the
navy department., regardless of the
warnings of he board of inspection
and survey, according to the leading
editorial in the November issue of
The Navy.
1T charges that there are many de-
'fects in all the new battleships aris-
ing from the helter-skelter method
with which planning and building is
carried on.
Reorganization of the administra-
ton system of the navy department
5 recommended as the only cure for
the imperfections which threaten to
be perpetual in future ships.

MISS STUBS IS OUT.
She Will Not Make the Race for
Statistician.

The one interesting rumor afloat at
rhe state capital is TO the effect that
Miss Mary Stubbs, chief of the bureau
OF statistics by grace of Gov Hanly,
had about decided not TO seek the Re-
publican NJ. ination for the office
For months has been regarded as
certain that The one woman holding
elective office in the state would go
before the next convention and ask
for honors usually allotted to men,
bers of the opposite SEX The story
now is different
1t goes on to relate in an unofficial
way that Miss Stubbs will appoint rs
her chief deputy man who will be
able to ask for and receive the NOM
ination and get himself elected with
the understanding that he will confer
the chief deputyship upon Miss
Stubbs. This would eliminate Miss
Stubbs from the race, which at the
best would be hazardous as far as the
nominating part of it is concerned,
and would free her OF considerable
campaign expense and at the same
time guarantee her a good-paying po-
sition for four years as the man nom
mated next spring will be In a posi-
tion TO ask for a second ,erm.
To man up tree the situation
appears in this way; Miss Stubbs is
handicapped in seeking the nomina-
ton because of being a woman and
even If nominated should have to
make sacrifices during the campaign
because of being a candidate On the
other hand the deputyship would not
require anything of her but regular
duties 1t pays 81, 500 a year and the
chiefship pays $4,000. If nominated
for the head office, she would proba-
bly, be limited to one term inasmucn
as her father was twice nominated for
the Office. If given the deputyship
by a man now named by her as dep
uty she would hold the second posi-
ton four years
There seems TO be considerable
foundation for the latest story. One
fact that tends to substantiate it is
that Miss Stubbs has not yet selected
man for the deputyship to succeed
]. L. Peetz. who resigned several
weeks ago Miss Stubbs, herself, is
not talking about her future political
plans but she IS doing a heavy think
ing part.

Dear Sir:
The law makes it the duty of the
State Board OF Tax Commissioners
Ito see that all taxes due the State

The law provides that after you have
made diligent effort to collect the
same, and have failed, you shall GER
tsfy such facts TO the Prosecuting At
torney who shall bring such action as
is necessary and can attach property
AMI garnishee wages.
We must insist that you exhaust
every provision of the law for the col
lection OF the delinquent tax OF your
county.
If taxes have to be collected by
the Prosecuting Attorney, each per-
son, in addition to paying the amount
now due from them. will have 90 pay
all court costs and the prosecutor 5
fee of ten dollars.
Very respectfully,
Fred a. Sims.

The Chicago. Lake Shore and South

which line has now been completed
to a point near Porter and which eX-

of the order are preparing to con-
struct a new building, as the present
hospital is too small, and the 5000 do

Where Belongs the Credit.

The Fort Wayne Daily News, the
leading Republican newspaper in the
Twelfth district, doesn't propose to
let the Prohibitionists absorb or ap-
propriate any credit whatsoever for
the progress that has been made dur
ing the past year in the matter of
wiping out saloons throughout the
country. The leading editorial in The
News of last Saturday was worded in
this peppery fashion,:
The Prohibition party leaders are
preening themselves considerably on
the recent victories of the temperance
forces of the country, and announce
that their national convention next
year will be the biggest ever. Said
one of them last Wednesday: "The
result of the elections shows that the
Prohibition party is sweeping the
country and is the only party to OBJ
tain results" This bumptious speech
is fairly representative of the attitude
of the leaders of that alleged party,
and If their utterances are sincere
they are the most deluded lot of men
out of the mad house For the tenn
perance cause has advanced not be-
cause of the Prohibition party, but in
spite of it. For years this party has
been dominated by lot of incendiary
radicals, whose incorporate language
ntolerant impeachments, and ill-ad-
vised conduct have been the greatest
asset the liquor business has had
They have viciously assailed every
public man who failed to subscribe
to their grotesque declarations, and
by fher irresponsible, reckless and
untihrlrthful charges have alienated
and disgusted thousands of people
who at heart bitterly opposed the sa-
loon.
Take their course of action here in
Indiana for example. The Prohibition
party has arrayed itself vindictively
against every temperance measure
now on our statute books. 1t has been
unalterably opposed to any legisla-
ton whatever that would not obliter-
ate the liquor business at one fell
swoop 1t has sneered at the sugges-
ton of gradual amelioration and has
arrogantly demanded "all or nothing
savagely assailing the legislature for
not granting its commands AT the
last session of the general assembly
the Prohibition party leaders joined
hands with the saloon forces Of Indi-
ane TO fight the proposed $1,000 license
law, and by their delirious clack Great
ed such diversion that number
of wavering statesmen voted against
the measure, offering as an excuse
that "the temperance people were op-
posed 10 IT.
In not single instance was the
Prohibition party factor in Tues
DAYS elections. In some cases vic
tories for temperance were achieved
through the Republican party and in
other instances through the Demo
cratic party, but nowhere through the
ins;rumentality of the wild-eyed
"prohis.' The claims of the leaders
of that noisy organization are absurd
on their face and are easily disproved
by the consultation of the returns.
Not single Prohibitionist was elect
ed in the whole country, so far as the
information of The News goes, yet in
every state they had tickets" in the
feld-tickets whose onlF effect was to
withdraw from the temperance cause
a power which should have been ex-
erted in its interest"

weeks conducted mail order busi-
ness at 3s4 Washington boulevard.

bankrupt jewelry" at something like
1 cent on the dollar, wasn't there
Sunday afternoon when Col James
E. Stuart, chief Inspector of the post
office, called to see him. Several
thousand people all over the count

be disappointed, the colonel thought
He found several undred copies of
newspapers containing Marshalrs ad-
vertisement, several hundred letters
from publishers, and nearly 200 bills
for advertising.
Before Marshall took alarm and
fed II is believed he must have gath
cred in between $4,000 and $4,000
from persons who had an idea they
could buy diamond rings at SIS each.
And he was there only two weeks.
Inspector Stuart put stop order on
the rest of the mail
Col Stuart had gone down to his
office in the federal building to do a
little work before dinner when he re-
cedved complaint about Marshall.
This complaint was to the effect
that "one of the biggest, boldest, and
most successful coups of its kind ever
perpretrated in Chicago and perhaps
in the United States has come to
light with the disappearance of Chas.
+. Marshall, jewelry jobber.
Although in operation only a
short time," the complaint went on,
the army of victims extends from
coast to coast and it is believed that
when all the victims have been heard
from the total will reach from $685.
600 to $4,000
In addition to this huge sum must
be added the thousands of dollars of
credit that Marshall managed to Sc
cure from hundreds of papers
throughout the country for advertis-
ing space in their publications.
Without rating in any mercan-
tile agency, without known account
in any bank and with but little capi-
tai, but his colossal nerve and au-
dacity, Marshall managed to reach
millions of people by means of the
daily and weekly papers, some of
them the most careful and copserva-
tive in the country"
This Office received a letter from
the said Marshall, containing the fol-
lowing advertisement, which he asked
to be run, and a bill for the same
