Chicago, Aug. 17.-The lynch lust
of Springfield proved contagious in
Chicago, when a negro who had
just killed a negro woman was con-
veyed by an armed posse of police
men from the Cottage Grove Avenue
station to the Harrison Street sta
ton to save him from a mob that
was clamoring for his life.
Chicago, Aug. 17.-Walter Allen,

DIVINE HEALER OPPOSED
BY RICHMOND PHYSICIANS

Francis Schlatter, the divine heal
err, known from coast to coast, wants
to conduct public "healings" in Rich
mond. Local physicians will oppose
the public appearance of Schlatter in
this city and Police Chief Bailey, of
whom Schlatter's manager has asked
permission to hold meetings, is trying
TO decide whether or not to permit the
divine healer" to give exhibitions of
his alleged power to cure the lame
and the halt"
The Wayne County Medical society
would be opposed TO Schlatter giving
public treatments in this city, stat
ed DIR. A. L. Bramkamp, secretary of
the society this morning. "Our oppo-
sition should not be based on jealousy
or because we would fear Schlatter as
a competitor. We believe that such
exhibitions as Schlatter gives encour-
ages general superstition; that it has
a demoralizing influence on the pub
lie inasmuch as it tends to encourage
belief in untrustwortny methods of
cure"

Schlatter a fake'?" DR.. Bramkamp

MUST DO WORK
AGAIN TONIGHT
Council Too Hasty Last Night
As Too Few Members
Were Present.
A MEETING is CALLED.
ALL MEASURES ACTED UPON
LAST NIGHT MUST BE RECON.
sIDERED AND VOTED UPON
AGAIN.

This afternoon City Clerk Merrill
announced that it will be necessary
for council to meet this evening and
transact the same business that was
done at the regular meeting held last
evening. This action is made neces-
sary because there was not two thirds
of the members in attendance last
evening. Only seven of the eleven
councilmen were present, eight being
necessary. Under suspension Of the
rules two ordinances were introduced
and passed last evening. These or
dinances will again be introduced and
passed this evening.
Mr. Merrill also states that at the
meeting this evening council will con-
slider what action the city shall take
in regard to the fall festival. Coun-
cilmen and all city officers are anx-
ious to do everything possible to Sc
cure the success of the event.

EXCITING RUNAWAY
Weight Not Heavy Enough to
Stop Horse in Mad Flight
Over Streets.
RAN INTO A PHONE POLE.

A horse attached to a merchants
delivery wagon belonging to II. G.
Davis while hitched to a weight be-
came frightened this morning and
bolted. dragging the heavy weight
along as, though ii was only feather.
The frightened animal ran north on
North Fifth street, thence down Ft,
Wayne avenue. Many people made
half-hearted efforts to stop il. AS it
approached the junction of the avenue
and North Seventh street its way was
obstructed by dray. The maddened
brute dashed into telephone pole in
front of the Deuker grocery. The
crash could be heard for two blocks.
The fierce contact with the pole
knocked the horse down. After the
wagon struck it scared over the pros
trate horse and fell across a hitching
rack The animal was pulled from un-
der the wagon and was found to be un-
injured. The wagon was badly
wrecked.

Indications Are Entire State

(By Special Correspondence

Indianapolis, Sept. 8.-An informal
gathering of republicans from over the
entire state at the Claypool last even
ing, reported from various sections of
state it is the unanimous sentiment
that at the coming special session of
the legislature the county local option
bill should be passed. Members of
both branches of the legislature were
present and advised strongly in favor
and promised support. The gathering
was purely advisory and informal in
character No attempt was made to
form up set program. 1t is felt that
the legislature is capable of arranging
its own program and carrying it out
and adjourning as quickly as possible.
No fear is felt or expressed but that
the tide will still continue coming the
republican way as it has during the
past three weeks if republicans in the
legislature courageously meet the is
sues presented. The democrats are
demoralized by the special session as
they will De forced into open fighting
of temperance legislation with brew
ers backing them or lose financial
support now being furnished by the
brewing interests. Watson and the
state ticket, during the past three
weeks have gained so as to rival re-
markably the sentiment that starting
Sept. Is, 1896, swept this state for Nc
Kinley.

Party Leaders Charge Him
With Attempting to Put Par
ty in Hole Through Spirit of
Spite.
EXCUSES HELD POOR BY
PROMINENT REPUBLICANS
Extra Session Looked Upon
As Unnecessary Valuable
Endorsement of Local Op-
ton.
Special Correspondence.

Indianapolis, Sept. S-Among repub-
lican politicians generally there is
the sharpest criticism of Governor
Hanly because of his action in call
ing a special session of the legislature
against the advice of many of the par
tvs leaders. There is no denying the
fact that the governor is all out of
kilter with his party. and that he
cares little what the political effect
of his move will be. Some few weeks
ago, In speech, James Z. Watson, the
republican nominee for governor, stat
ed that one of the first things he would
do If elected governor, would be to
sign the Vincennes university bonds
that have so long been in Governor
Hanly's hands without action. This
angered the chief executive.
His treatment at the Chicago nation
al convention left a sore spot that has
remained sore.
His fiery anti-saloon speech at the
republican state convention left a bad
taste and so sharp were the comments
on it from some of the more taetful
leaders that the governor was hurt to
the quick.
He determined that the bill author
izing the payment of the Vincennes
university claim should be repealed
He determined to show his critics
that his fight on the liquor interests
has the approval of the people, and
to do it he has called a special session
of the legislature to pass a local op-
tion bill in accord with the county unit
plank of the republican state platform.
The excuse that something must be
done. in view of the law compelling
the return to the state treasury after
September 30 of all unexpended bal
ances of appropriations, was hardly an
excuse for a resort to such drastic
action as the calling of a special ses-
sion Of the legislature. True, the oper-
alton of this law would have stopped
some PUBIC WOTk. particularly I1dL at
the Southern hospital for the insane
at Madison. But to get around this
and to avoid an extra 3ession, certain
of the party leaders offered to procure
the necessary money to continue this
or any other pressing public work.
trusting to the state to remunerate
them But the governor would not lis
ten. Asserting that he alone was re-
sponsible. and that he alone could ap-
preciate the necessity for extreme ac-
ton, his proclamation was issued right
on the heels Of the final conference
at which IL was sought to induce the
governor to change his mind. There
are those who accuse the governor of
seeking TO put his party in hole. and
as the governor has said that he is
out of politics for good. he is credited
with having no thought for the party's
interests The party leaders look upon
the extra session as unnecessary. The
governor says he alone Is the Judge of

Oyster Bay, Sept. S.-Present devel-

supposed to have been fired at the
president was fired at a target by
Jack Roosevelt, son of the presidents
cousin. This statement is vouched for
by Major Wadworth who was Teddy's
companion on the horse back ride at
the time. He inquired of his cousin
Elmer Roosevelt and learned the boys
were at target practice. Camille

Story of Attempt.
An attempt to assassinate President
Roosevelt was made Saturday while
he was riding on the Cove road near
Sycamore Hill. The assassin, hidden
in the bushes at the roadside, fired
at the president with a revolver; the
bullet whizzed over Mr.. Roosevelts
head.
The president, perfectly calm, pull
ed up his horse and wished to dis
mount and search the bushes. The
friend who was riding with him dis

banker, Mrs. Weidenfeld and Edward
Fisher, who was driving them. heard
the shot The assassin escaped.
The attempt on the presidents life
became known yesterday when the
secret service men guarding Mr.
Roosevelt arrested John Coughlin,
armed and seemingly insane, as he
sought an interview with the presi-
dent. The attempt explains why Chief
Wilkie of the secret police was called
hurriedly from Washington to Saga
more Hill, arriving there Sunday.
Plan Was Deliberate.
Every circumstance goes to prove
that the effort to shoot Mr.. Roose-
welt was deliberate and carefully plan
ned.
The president and a friend, a man
whose name has not developed yet,
were returning from a horseback ride
and took the back road. They were
jogging along past the estate of the
presidents cousin. w. Emlen Roose-

Great Rejoicing Among Rep

Cambridge City. Ind, Sept S.-Nev-
er since President Roosevelt coined
the term undesirable citizen" has
there been a demonstration of the
meaning of the words in such an ex-
plicit manner as at this place Satur-
day. The celebrated Doddy family
had refused to leave town and the
father and mother were arrested.
They were placed in the caliboose and
while there the house was burned.
An alarm of fire was sounded and the
firemen made prompt response. But
when it was learned the Doddy house
was in flames trouble was encount-
cred in making the hose connections,
other temporary delays followed and
no water was thrown until the upper
section of tfs, house was wrapped in
flames and there was no need to make
any rescue. The house had been con-
demned and nobody cared what hap.
pened.
The troubles of the Doddys' have
been long and numerous. They re-
sided at Milton and were made OBJ
jects of dislike by many of the towns
people. Their premises were in dis
order and the moral standard was
low. Miltonians objected and remon
strated but to no avail. Pressure was
brought from all sides and when there
were Indications summary action

Were Told to Treke.

But Cambridge had heard of them
before their arrival and the abode the
family selected on West Main street
was not the object of good feeling and
tender regards. 1t was not pointed to
with feeling Of pride by the promin-
ent residents of the town and declar-
ed to be modern home worthy of
emulation. The same kind of prac-
tees that had made the family and
it's home disreputable at Milton were
continued at Cambridge City and then
the ire of local citizens became arous-
ed.
Taunts of various kinds were direct
ed at the old folks and they were told
in pointed terms their presence was
not desired. But they were immunes
and their consciences refused to lead
them to believe they were undesirable.
Matters went on uninterruptedly and
became worse. There seemed to be
no reason to expect any cause for re-
joicing such as their voluntary depar-
ture would bring and more stringent
methods of persuasion were decided
upon.

Town Council Acts.
esday evening a delegation
lie citizens from the west e

Tuesday evening a delegation of re-
putable citizens from the west end of
town appeared before the town coun-
Gil and entered complaint against the
Doddys', charging a nuisance. The
council was asked to take immediate
measures to abate matters. 1t was
pointed out that two children of the
family now are in a charitable insti-
tuition and that the young son ought
to be some place where it would be
free from parental influence.
There were no developments until
Saturday afternoon, when the father
and mother were arrested. They were
charged with keeping a disorderly
house. While they were being re-
moved to Jail the fire was discovered
in the house. That the place was set
on fire by an incendiary is the i'm
preston prevailing here. The house
was but a shack and had been con-
demned by the town board as unfit
for residence purposes. A member of
the town board said today he suspect
ed the fire originated from "combus-
ton" He appeared to have informa-
ton that was not at the disposal of
the news gatherers.
Fined in Court.
Yesterday, Mr.. and Mrs. Doddy were
arraigned before Squire Swain of
Dublin. They were fined s25 and
costs apiece. but sentence was sus-
pended. They had no money to pay
and would have to go to Jail. Cam
bridge citizens did not want to see the
family become an item for expense at
the hands of the county and township,
so the squire suspended sentence
pending the departure of the family
from Cambridge City. They were
given until noon today and this morn
ing they were seen taking their de-
parture. If they return to this place
they will be arrested and placed in
Jail to serve out the sentence.
