BOOKER MAY
ENDORSE HUGHES
NOTED LEADER OF NEGRO RACE
MAY EsPoUsE CAUSE OF
HUGHES IN PREFERENCE TO
EITHER FORAKER OR TAFT

! NEW YORK, Jan. 18.-New York
politicians attribute hidden sig
nificance to the appearance on the
same platform here today of Govern
or Hughes and DR.. Booker T. Wash
| ington, the eolored educator and
president of Tuskegee institute. DR..
Washington is admittedly the leader
of American negroes and his influ-
ence will go far toward determining
! the southern vote in the republican
national convention. That his meet
ing with Hughes today may result
in increasing the popularity of the
latter among the negroes is quite
possible.
That DR.. Washington will not
/ openly espouse the cause of Secre-
tary Taft, despite the friendship OF
the negro educator for President
Roosevelt, is almost foregone con-
clusion. The majority of the south
ern negroes, according to men ia
\
in the south, favor the candidacy OF
Senator Foraker because of the
stand he took in the Brownsville af-
fair.
1t is believed that Mr.. Washing
ton is shrewd enough to realize the
impossibility of securing the nomin-
alton of Foraker, and farseeing
enough to perceive that, If possible
it would only be harmful to the
negro race, since it would make ra-
icial animosities an issue of the
campaign. DR.. Washington is toe
firm a friend of President Roosevelt
to advocate the nomination of the
chief executives chief political
enemy.
All of these facts lead the wise
ones to believe that DR.. Washington
will come out in favor of Governor
Hughes and that he will use his in.
iuence to bring his millions of ad-
mirers to the same opinion. So fai
DR.. Washington has not expressed
himself definitely on the politica
situation, but great pressure is be-
ing brought to bear on him by the
negro leaders of the south. To 6
greater extent than any other man
DR.. Washington carries the republic
can influence of the south in hi'
possession, and when he does speal
it will be with the wisdom and
finality of an oracle.
4 The Foraker forces realize thi!
and have done their utmost to per
suade the great educator to an
nounce himself in favor of the Ohio
senator. If they succeed, Foraker
will have fighting chance in tn,
convention. If they fall the For
aker boom will be dead.

CASTRO GONE FOR GOOD.
Washington Believes Venezuelan Will
Never Return.

Washington. Dec. 17.-From trust
worthy source came the information
that when Cypriano Castro, the presi-
dent of Venezuela, left his country to
go to Europe for medical tire eatment,
it was with the expectation that he
would probably never return to take
up the reins Of government again.
These advices have trickled through
to Washington through both diplo-
matte and unofficial sources, and the
popular outbreak in Caracas against
Castro seems to bear out the authen-
ITCHY of the news.
This would indicate that the reign
of the dictator, who has had most of
the great Powers of the world on edge
for number of years. is ended. 1t
also means that the United States
and European governments will soon
be able with good grace to re-establish
diplomatic relations with Vene zuela-
The destruction of statues of Cas-
tro, the demolition of paintings of him
and other hostile demonstrations
against the absent ruler and his fol-
lowing, points inevitably, in the judg-
ment of officials here, to the passing
of the control of the government to
other people.

BANK Halter
DEPOSITS MONEY
Isaac HuddIeSton Leaves
1000 in the City.

Before leaving the city yesterday
afternoon, aged and eccentric Isaac
Huddleston deposited in a bank the
$1,000 he had carried about in his
clothes for many months. Huddleston
had been afraid TO entrust his money
to a bank and until told by the sher-
iff not to do SO, had persisted in car
rying it about. He is seventy-four
years old, feeble and would be an
easy victim to the robber.
The domestic woes of the Huddle-
stons are just at present at low tide.
The couple has been told by authorit-
les their quarreling and squabbling
must cease or they will be dealt with
by the law. The sheriff has advised
neighbors at Dublin to leave the Hud-
dlestons alone and a reDitition of
stoning the house viii be dealt with
by law.

TIONAL ANTHEM-HOPE THAT
CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCHY
WILL BE LONG LIVED.

Constantinople, Dec. 17-Turkey
made her bow as a full fledged consti-
tutional monarch today, when the OF
toman Parliament held it's first ses-
sion. This assembly was provided
for in the constitution granted by Sui
tan Abdul Hamid last July and is the
first. body of it's kind to meet in the
Empire for over 80 years. The life
of its only prede cessor was brief but
great hopes are entertained for the
success of the newcomer
Today was proclaimed general
holiday in honor Of the parliament
and the city is doing it's best to OBJ
serve the occasion fittingly. The de-
corations are unprecedented and
most of the population is in the
streets eagerly discussing the pros
poets of the new regime.
Practically every regiment in the
Constantinople garrison lined the
route when the Sultan drove to open
the assembly, while school children
stationed at vantage points along the
way. sang the hymn of liberty as the
Imperial cortege passed.
Everywhere interest and expecta-
tion were high, and there is no doubt
that the day will go down as one of
the most important in Turkish his
tory.
The list of 80 senators appointed by
the Sultan has been published. 1t
comprises members of the cabinet and
council, ex-ministers, generals, admir-
ais, the Bulgarian bishop of Monastir,
three Armenians, three Greeks and
one Jew. The members of the cham
ber of deputies, the other branch,
were elected by the Turkish people
last month.

Henry E. Agar Captured in
Texas and Will Return to
Indiana to Face Huge Fraud
Charges.
INSURANCE POLICY ON
MANS LIFE WAS PAID
Clever Deception Used by Him
In Order to Make His Geta-
way, It Being Supposed He
Was Drowned.

Princeton. Ind, Dec. a17.-IIenry- E.
Agar, for nearly two years believed
dead, is under arrest in Texas. He
was thought to have been drowned in
the Wabash river near Mount Carmel,
ILL.,. on the night of Jan. %, 1907.
He was Gibson county's representa-
tive in the legislature in 1905, and was
prominent business man. Soon after
his disappearance evidence was obtain
ed that he was forger and embeZzler
to the extent of S125,OOO.
Agar was captured by Capt. Ross of
the Texas rangers, and yesterday, ac-
cording to a message from Ross, con-
fessed and said he would come back
to Indiana without requisition.
He is in custody at Harrington. Tex
as. forty miles from the Mexican bor-
der Officers are speeding to get him,
and he probably will be returned Sat-
urday or Sunday to face numerous
charges.
One Insurance Policy Paid.
Agar's wife and family believed him
dead and for months have been bat
Ting in court for the life insurance
money he left to them. amounting to
$21. 400. One policy has been paid and
two placed in trust pending develop
ments. In every case tried the Agars
have won, the court holding the proof
of death sufficient, but several cases
are pending appeal.
Not since Agar's disappearance has
there been a time when the insurance
detectives were not on the watchout
for him, and they have followed clew
after clew in vain. 1t was not until
Tuesday that real hope came with a
message to Chief of Police SHELTON:
do you want Agar? Wire instruc-
tions Immediately"
1t was from Ross and soon after
ward, in reply to an affirmative an
swer, came the words:
Agar arrested. Come at once with
papers"
A midnight consultation was held by
Chief Shelton, Prosecutor Clyde Nc
Gary, H. d. McGary, one of the heav-
lest losers, and Attorneys Harvey Har-
mon of this city and Craig and Wheel
er of Evansville, for the insurance
companies.
Bets on Whether It's Agar.
Before morning H. D. McGary made
affidavit charging Agar with forgery
on 5000 note. and Chief SHELTON and
Prosecutor McGary were on the way
to Indianapolis to get requisition pa
pers. while Harmon was speeding to
Texas to prevent any escape by habeas
corpus proceedings.
The report has caused excitement in
Princeton. and bets are being made as
to whether the captured man is really
Agar in spite of the alleged confession.
Many have believed he took his own
life in the river, realizing that in spite
of his wonderful shrewdness he could

TO DEATH
Auto Slips and Slides Into the
River, Killing Two.
DRAWBRIDGE WAS OPEN.

Milwaukee, Wis, Dec. 17.-Oscar u
Bartlett, a wealthy member of the
board of trade and Alfred kunz. chauf
feur. were killed when their big auto
mobile plunged into the river last mid
night. President Salliday, of the Sal
iday automobile company, was rescued
by crew of passing steamer for
which the drawbridge was open. Bart
let was thrown against a. pier, fractur-
ing his skull. kunz was buried be-
meath the automobile at the bottom of
the river. while Salliday landed in the
water and escaped injury.
The chauffeur discovered the bridge
open when within a hundred feet of it,
but could not stop because of the
slushy pavement. The shrieks of the
party as the car plunged over the en-
bankment, attracted the steamers
crew.

Committee Holds Meeting and
Arguments of Opponents
And Supporters of D. & w.
Settlement Heard.
EXPECTED COUNCIL
WILL HEED ADVICE
Dayton and Western Will Be
Given Right to Operate Its
Freight Cars Over North E
Street Line.

The franchise committee of the city
council, after gazing upon about forty
five shippers and about seven men,
bers of the Lookout Committee" last
night, and hearing statements from va
rious members of each faction, retired
to private room with other council
men not on the committee, and there
decided that the committee should rec
ommend to council at it's next session
that the Dayton & Western franchise
be ratified. No doubt council will
heed this advice.
Adam Bartel, of the A. H. Bartel
Wholesale Notions company. and e.
M. Haas, secretary of the Richmond
Commercial club, made the principal
addresses for the shippers. while C. B.
Hunt and Wilfred Jessup were the
principal speakers for the Outlook
committee Chairman Henry Deu-
ker. of the franchise committee, pre-
sided over the meeting and invited a
general discussion.
Shippers Fire First Gun.
Mr.. Bartel fired the first gun for the
shippers. He stated that the Dayton
& Western franchise matter had moth
ing to do with the question as to
whether traction freight cars should
be operated through Glen Miller park
He stated that the Terre Haute, In
dianapolis and Eastern traction COM
pany had a franchise granting them
this right and that all the Dayton &
Western people were asking was a
franchise which would give them the
authority to operate it's freight cars
over the freight line of the T. H. l. &
e. Mr.. Bartel stated that it was only
fair that the d. & w. should have the
same privilege granted the other COM
rany, and that after its franchise had
been ratified and the citizens desired
to test the right of the city govern
ment in permitting a public park to
be used for the placing of such a line
as has been located in Glen Miller, he
and a number of other shippers would
contribute 20 a fund to meet the cost
of litigation
Jessup Threatens Suit.
Mr.. Haas also pointed out that the
Dayton & Western franchise matter
had nothing to do with the Glen Miller
case and he asked Mr.. Jessup, attorney
for the outlook Committee" that.
such being the case, what opposition
he had to offer for the ratification of
the D. & w. franchise. Mr.. Jessup
admitted that he and the members of
the committee were not present to op-
pose the ratification of the D. & w.
franchise, but had attended the meet
ing under the impression that it was
called for the purpose of considering
whether or rot the traction line should
remain In Glen Miller. He stated that
council had the authority Of ordering
the line out of the Glen by ordinance,
and unless council exerted this author
1ty he would bring suit to enjoin
Mr.. Hunts statement that he and
his associates were not opposing the
shippers was heard with amazement
by those business men who were under
the impression that he and his CO.
workers had been responsible for the
delay in the settlement of the D. & W.
question.

Local Attorneys See Faults in
Proposed Judiciary Sys-
tenn of Indiana. -.
STATE IN DISTRICTS.
WAYNE COUNTY WOULD BE IN
SIXTH DISTRICT WITH FIFTEEN
OTHER coUNTIES-A CHANGE
MAY BE MADE.

Local attorneys are somewhat skep-
tical as to the success of the propos-
ed revision OF the judiciary system of
this state. The Starke County Bar
association proposes to. have introduc-
ed at the coming session of the legisla-
ture, a bill which it is hoped will raise
the standard of the judiciary. 1t is
said the bill has met the approval of
some of the best lawyers of the state
and there are prospects it will become
a law. Copies of the bill are being
sent to members of the legislature
port.
The bill provides that the circuit
courts of Indiana shall be divided in
to six judicial districts, each county
constituting a judicial circuit. 1t pro-
vides that four of the districts shall
contain fifteen counties each and two
shall contain sixteen counties each.
Each county, it is proposed, shall elect
one circuit judge for six years. who
shall be eligible to succeed himself
either by election or appointment. The
salary is fixed at $500 per year. to-
gether with actual travelling expenses.
All fees are barred to the judge.
The proposed bill provides also that
four terms of court shall be held in
each county each year in September,
December, March and May. each term
lasting six weeks. II is provided fur
ther that when a vacancy occurs in a
Judgeship a successor shall be elected
ON the second Tuesday of July, by the
Australian system.
Prosecuting Attorneys Term.
1t is provided that a prosecuting at
torney shall be elected in each county
for a term of three years, his salary
being 81 200 year, together with all
the emoluments of the office.
1t is provided in the bill that the
sixth district shall embrace Madison,
Randolph, Wayne. Shelby. Fayette.
Franklin, Ripley, Ohio. Delaware. Hen
ry, Hancock, Rush. Union, Decatur,
Switzerland and Dearborn counties.
General Objections.
1t is claimed by some local attorneys
that if it were made impossible for a
Judge to succeed himself it would not
be long until the judicial material
would be exhausted in some counties.
1t is alleged that not every attorney is
competent 10 make good judge. Some
attorneys DO not favor the proposed
division of the year for court term pur-
poses. Objections are taken to the
proposed clause relating TO the prose
cutors. At the present time the pros
ecuting attorney is elected for two
years. He is shorn of certain fees and
permitted others.
