Voters in Ward Meet and Dis
cuss the County Local
Option Fight.
CHAIRMEN APP OMITTED.
SPEAKERS ADDRESSED POORLY
ATTENDED MEETING NIcHoL-
SON DEFENDS PRINCIPLE OF
COUNTY OPTION.

Eighteen of the six hundred or more
voters of the fourth ward met last ev-
ening at the No. 4 hose house and per-
fected ward organization for the coun-
ty local option fight. This meeting
was called by Ward Temperance
Chairman C. B. Hunt. The eighteen
enemies OF the saloons were address
ed by the Rev. r. J. Wade, the Rev.
Conrad Huber Thomas Jessup and
Timothy Nicholson, president of the
Indiana Anti-Saloon league
The following were appointed chair
men of the five precincts of the fourth
ward:
Precinct No. 1S-C. B. Hunt
Precinct No. 19-John NJ. Coate.
Precinct No. 20-W. H. Meerhoff.
Precinct No. 21-E. j. Humpe.
Precinct No. 22-Richard Bartel,
Henry Moelk.
These precinct committeeman will
appoint their assistants and the work
of polling the ward will start immed-
lately. The committeeme and their
assistants will also circulate a petition
asking that a county local option cleo
ton be held. Before the committed
men were appointed Clifford Piehl
was appointed secretary of the meet
ing.
Mr.. Hunt stated that the Anti-Sa-
loon league representatives who were
in the city last Sunday advised that
immediate action be taken in this
county for holding an option election
and he thought this was a wise move.
He stated that the work of circulatinS
a petition for the election was now in
progress and that the temperance peo-
pie had opened up headquarters at
room Al Hutchinson block. Mr.
Hunt stated that in the impending
election politics and religion did not
enter into consideration. He said that
the only question at stake was wheth-
er or not the saloons should or should
not continue to operate in this coun.
ty.
Mr. Nicholson stated that Marsh.
alls election was not a victory for the
opponents of county local option. He
said that Mr.. Watson was defeated
because he was unpopular with the
masses-not because he supporte d
county local option. Mr. Nicholson
also stated that in some of the dem.
ocratic strongholds, Sullivan county
for example, were dry and the voters
favored county local option law
Their representatives, Mr.. Nicholson
thinks, will vote against the repeal OF
the law.

Elliott Believes Kirkman "BIind
Tiger" Amendment Is
Good One.
MANY LAWS ARE WEAK.
EXCESSIVE PUNISHMENT FOR
CRIME PREVENTS CONVICTION,
FORMER REPREs ENTATIvEI
SAYS.

One of the attorneys involved in
the Martin Chitwood case, now on
trial in the Wayne circuit court, is
r. N. Elliott, of Connersville. Mr.. Ell
lott is former member of the state
legislature. When asked about the
proposed amendment by Roscoe e.
kirkman, of this city, to the blind
tiger law, Mr.. Elliott said he believ.
ed it would prove a satisfactory solu-
ton of the difficulty that develops
when attempts are made to enforce
the present law.
Mr.. Elliott stated that it too often
happens that laws are made so dras-
tic that they spoil their own effects
He referred to the old laws that were
passed in the early history of this
state and called attention to many
that provided capital punishment for
minor offenses. He cited sheep steal.
ing as one, which years ago was pun
ishable by the death sentence. AS the
result of this law it was seldom that
jury would convict of the crime, be.
cause it was not believed the offense
warranted the punishment.
That he had heard of the difficulties
that have been encountered in Wayne
and other counties in the attempts to
prosecute alleged violators of the
blind tiger" law, because of its sew
Gritty was admitted by Mr. Elliott He
appeared conversant with these cir
cumstances and intimated he believes
the fault lies in the law. He said he
had not had opportunity to give the
matter very serious consideration but
believes that if he were going to be
member of the next legislature, he
would favor the amendment
Senator Kirkman proposes a revis.
ion Of the present law, making a Jail
sentence optional with the jury upon
the first conviction and requisite upon
the second or subsequent. The pre- S.
ent law requires Jail sentence on first
conviction.

I'm the case of Elstro VS.. Elstro,

That was the only remark made by
Judge Ed. Jackson, of the Henry cir
cult court this morning, in making his
ruling, which denied Mary Elstro
divorce from her husband, Christian.
In making his finding Judge Jackson
sustained his reputation as an anti-di-
vorce judge, secured upon his record
in Henry county. Judge Jackson was
appointed to hear the case, after
change of venue from Judge Fox, of
the Wayne circuit court had been re-
quested by the plaintiffs counsel.

Judge jackson afterward said he did
not believe the allegations made in the
complaint was sustained by the evil
dence presented in court. The court
has had tn matter under consideration
for two weeks and did not render his
decision until he had deliberated upon
the matter thoroughly.
Mary Elstro, the plaintiff, is sixty
eight years old. Her husband is the
same age. The couple was married

and part of the children were found
arrayed with the father and the others
with the mother at the time Of the
trial. All the children are grown. The
plaintiff sought beside a divorce, ali
mony In any sum the court might deem
proper.
It was alleged in the complaint, the
defendant had been guilty of cruel
and inhuman treatment of his wife. He
was charged with abusing her by
strong language and mistreatment, al
though no charge was made he ever
had struck her. 1t was alleged in the
triad she lived In fear for her safety
and believed some time her husband
would fnjure her. Mrs Elstro said
her husband had called her vile names
and charged her with unfaithfulness.
She told Of his leaving home and re-
naming away on two occasions, leav-
ing her uncared for. ~ e-
Upon the witness stand the feeble old
woman declared she never would live
with her husband again sand the decis-
ion of the court may strengthen this
disfavor. Friends of the aged couple
believe the decision may result in a
reconciliation. d.

j. S.-JAPAN NOTES
GIVEN TO PUBLIC
Takahira Says That They Are
Only Expressions by
Old Friends.
TO ENCOURAGE COMMERCE.
COMMON INTERESTS OF ALL
POWERS WILL BE PRESERVED
IN CHINA AND COUNTRIES WILL
ACT TOGETHER.
TO ENCOURAGE COMMERCE.

Washington, c., Dec 2-The
notes exchanged between the United
States and Japan declaring their pol
icy in the far east" which have been
the subject of CORE spondence between
Secretary of State Root and Ambassa-
dor Takahira for some months, were
made public at the state department
last night
Substance of the Notes.
In explicit terms they are as fol-
lows:
Il. 1t is the wish of the two gov
ernments to encourage the free and
peaceful development of their COM
merce on the Pacific ocean.
%. The policy of both governments
uninfluenced by any aggressive ten
denotes, is directed to the mainten-
ance of the existing status quo in the
region mentioned. and to the defense
of the principle of equal opportunity
for commerce and industry in China.
3. They are accordingly firmly re-
solved reciprocally to respect the ter
r1torial possessions belonging to each
other in said region.
a. They also are determined TO
preserve the common interests of all
powers in China by supporting by all
pacific means at their disposal the in
dependence and integrity of China
and the principle of equal opportunity
for commerce and industry of all ma
tons in that empire.
IS. Should any event occur threat
the principle of equal opportunity as
above defined, it remains for the two
governments to communicate with
each other in order TO arrive at an un-
derstanding as to what measures they
may consider it useful to take"
Ambassador Takahira, in a state
ment issued subsequent to the making
public of the notes, declared they
were simply a reaffirmation OF what
was declared by the two governments
years ago. 1t was something like a
transaction between trusted friends -
Takahira Talks of Notes.
The ambassador added:
1T is to be noted, however. that
the notes which are exchanged be-
tween governments of such moral
standing as those of the United States
and Japan will have a great import
ance in the carrying out of their COM
mon policy. Japan has entire conf
dence in the great moral strength of
the United States government, and
the latter fully trusts in the strong
good faith of the Japanese govern
