FIGHT OVER
WARD LINE
ELKHART REMONSTRANCE
CASE BITTERLY FOUGHT
BEFORE SPECIAL JUDGE
KELLISON IN MAR
SHALL CIRCUIT
COURT.

u
The case of demonstrators of
the third ward of Elkhart, versus
the granting of liquor license to
Wickshire and others, was re-
suped before Special Judge Kel-
lison Friday afternoon. The case
had been venued to the Marhall
circuit court.
Apparently the demonstrators
have majority of 80 names.
However the attorneys for Wick
wire contend that seventeen sign
ers of the remonstrance are resi-
dents of the First ward, accord
ing to the city ordinance which
describes boundaries; the attor-
neys for the demonstrators con-
tend that the territory in ques-
ton is located in the Third ward.
The attorneys for Wickwire
have raised the issue that there
are seventeen names on the re-
montrance which should not be
counted because the parties live
in the disputed locality, where
the river makes bend at a point
between Lexington avenue and
the St. Joseph river. 1t is con-
tended by James H. State, attor-
ney for Wickwire, that this sec
ton does not belong to the ward
in which the saloon is located.
The case is characterized by
much wrangling between the at
torneys on the different sides. E.
c. Martindale is assisting the Pc
titioners, and H. A. Logan is
helping the demonstrators. This
afternoon rebuttal testimony was
being heard Upon examining
witness concerning map of Elk
hart which was introduced, Mr..
Martindale objected so strongly
and continuously that Mr.. Logan
objected to Mr.. Martindale's OBJ
jections." The arguments will
be heard late this afternoon, or
tomorrow morning, when deci-
sion will be given.

BREWERS TO
FIGHT DRY WAVE
ONE THOUSAND GATHER
FOR CONVENTION OPEN
ING TODAY IN MIL
WAUKEE-MEET-
(INGS WILL BE
PUBLIC.

Between 600 and 1000 repre-
.sentatives of breweries of the
country and special agents direct
ly identified with the brewing
business and its allied trades are
guests of Milwaukee today,
Wednesday and Thursday. The
efforts OF the convention will be
directed toward combating the
agitation agains the liquor traffic.
AT the same time, as openly de-
clared by officers and leading
brewers of the country, the trend
of the national organization is
more than ever opposed to all
classes of so-called dives" and
the resolutions and direct action
at this convention will be in op-
position to all such institutions.
Efforts were made to inaugur-
ate in all large brewing centers
some such system as is in force
in Cincinnati. In that city there
is cooperation with the Juvenile
Court, by which all cases of suf-
fering and crime growing out of
excessive drinking, where FAM
lilies become the direct sufferers,
are taken in hand by the brewers
as we'll as court officers, and the
saloons doing this kind of busi-
ness are closed or made to heark-
'en to the demand of the law and
the brewing interests.
The first delegations by special
train arrived Tuesday morning.
They were the New York state
and Boston delegations, eighty in
number.
The first real business meet
ing was held Monday afternoon.
This was the meeting of the
board of trustees, at which the
program for the business sessions
was outlined.
The convention proper opened
Tuesday. For the first time in
the history OF the association a
public meeting will be held at one
of the Milwaukee theatres. The
brewers say they want publicity
They want the question of prohi-
bition spread before the people in
all its phases, believing as they
claim, misrepresentation have
been made by the adherents OF
prohibition.
AT this open meeting will be
presented the side taken Ny the
brewers, as well as arguments
for prohibition
Arthur Brisbane of New York
will talk on ''Thc Relation of the
Drink Problem to the Public,
and f. ]. Giddings of Guthrie,
Okla, will speak on Practical
Experience Of Prohibition
Henry Fink of Milwaukee will
have as theme, Inconsistencies
of Prohibition. H.

6-HOUR LAW is
KNOCKED OUT
Missouri Court Holds Dispatch
ers' Legislation Unconsti-
tutional.

The Supreme Court at Jefferson
City, Mo-, in an opinion render
ed by Judge Lamm Saturday de-
cided the eight-hour train dis
patchers' law passed by the last
legislature to be unconstitutional
The case came from Johnson
County, where Judge Bradley
sustained the demurrer to an in
dcitment against TIE Missouri Pa
cific Railroad Company on the
ground that the law is unconsti-
tutional in that it allows operators
at stations where only one oper-
ator is employed to work twelve
hours. The decision sutains the
lower court and affirms judgment.
The court also handed down an
opinion deciding that liquor deal
ers have right to ship intoxicat-
ing liquors into local option coun-
ties c. 0. d. when sale is made

REPUBLICANS
ARE TICKLED
THE KEYNOTE ADDRESS
OF THOMAS MARSHALL
AT RICHMOND SHOWS
DEMOCRATIC CAN
DIDATE MU CHI
OVERRATED.

Republicans are not worried
over the Richmond speech OF
Thomas r. Marshall, Democratic
Nominee for the governorship. 1t
pleases them. They regard it as
weak keynote. They have ana
lyzed it carefully and found moth
ing to fear. Such a speech they
say, does no harm nor good.
Hearers are prone to forget, they
point out, unless some striking
point is established. No points
10 strike were establihed, they de-
clare, and therefore, they con-
clude, the speech will not be re-
membered.
Republicans were even more
anxious than Democrats to hear
the Columbia City mans keynote.
They had heard much about Mar
halls eloquence. logic and wit.
They had been told that he was a
campaigner from away back and
that when he started his eloquent
tongue would burn up the oppo-
sition. Republicans feared that
all or part of this might be true,
that the new-found leader of the
hisorganized Democracy might be
the Moses to lead the party out
of the wilderness. that Marshall
might by his eloqdence, sound
ness of thought, stability of char
acter, logic and brilliancy gather
unto himself the scattered parts
of his own party and the wobbly
voters of the opposition.
Fears are now dissipated, how
ever Marhall has spoken. His
oratory has been heard his tongue
though fiery, has not burnt up
anything; his sarcasm has been
unsheathed but the opposition
was unscathed. SO at least the
Republicans contend. They insist
now that Marshall was overrated,
that friendly newspapers eager to
catch up with a new and untried
publicist. said more than they
knew or more than was true. The
Republicans have lost their anx-
iety. With a sigh of relief and a
smile of contentment, Mr.. Repub-
lican has settled back into his
easy chair.
Republicans commend Mr.. Mar
shall for the dignity which char
acterized his first speech. They
rejoice that he lived up to his re-
cent promise to ignore personal
tiles but to fight measures. They
feel that he has placed the cam
paign on high plane and that it
will be kept there.
Above anything else that glad
deus the hearts of the Republi-
cans is the fact that Mr.. Marshall
stuck to the platform of his party
They had feared that he might go
beyond the platform on some oi
the important issues, particularly
that of temperance. Republicans
feel that they have much the bet.
ter temperance plank and they
have been led to believe that the
Democratic nominee might come
out for the things advocated by
them and thereby relieve himself
of the criticism hurled at the plat
form on which he stands.

BEDMATE IGNORANT
OF DEATH,
Chas. Harrison, Patient at Long
cliff Cuts Throat.

Charles c. Harrison, b former
resident Of Plymouth and repre-
sentative CT the Singer Sewing
Machine Co, committed suicide
by cutting his throat with a case
knife, Monday night, at Longcliff
insane hospital, where he had
been confined since last March.
Another insane patient in the
same bed slept peacefully while
Harrison bled to death. Harrison
was forty years old, and is sur
Wed by wife; son, Russell, aged
twelve, daughter, Ruth, aged
seven, and son, Ralph, aged sew
en-, the latter two being twins
The family resides at Elkhart.
Mr.. Harrison was agent for the
Singer Sewing Machine Co. for
four wears up to December, 1906
when he became district agent
with headquarters at South Bend
until last September, when he re.
signed that position to go to Ar
Cos. Ind. where he was joined
by his family. Mrs. Harrison
stated that her husband first
showed signs of insanity a year
ago, but that he did not become
violent until last March, when he
was taken to Longcliff from Ar
Cos. His family then returned tc
Elkhart. Harrison himself realiz-
ed that he was gradually losing
his mind, and worry over this fac
undoubtedly hastened insanity. II
is hereditary in the family, his
father having been insane at one
time, and a sister is now confined
at Longcliff.
The deceased was a member o.
the w. O. w. lodge at Michigan
City, having joined in 1893. Th,
remains have been taken from
Longcliff to the home of hi:
mother at Donaldson, Ind. for in
terment, which was held al

After these committees retired
in the Thayer house, a discussion
arose as to whether the conven-
tion should select its own chair
man. 1t was finally decided how,
eever. that the selection should
be left to the committee on rules
whose report could be either ac-
cepted or refused.
While waiting for the first COM
mittee to report Judge l.. w.
Royce of Kosciusko county, was
called upon who delivered an en-
thusiastic Republican speech to
the convention, urging that what
ever the outcome of this conven-
ton, Republicans should unite on
the nominee this tall. His talk
evoked great cheers from the
crowd, as did the addresses OF
those who followed him. Judge
Dodge of Elkhart, and Aaron
Jones OF South Bend, each
made short and snappy talk to
the convention.
The committee on resolutions
then submitted their report. The
preamble of the constitution of
the United States was quoted, the
administration of Republican
leaders and Republican platforms
in state and nation were endorsed.
The enactment of the pure food
law. the construction of Panama
canal, the railroad rate law, the
irrigation law, and meat inspec-
ton, all legislated under Republi-
can leadership were approved.
The administrations of Governor
Hanly, and the work of Indiana S
congressman and senators was
commended. Chas w. Fairbanks
was endorsed for the presidency
These resolutions were adopted
unanimously.
George f. Clark of South Bend
Charles Kelly of Knox, and Mich
ael Essick of Rochester, followed
with inspiring old Republican
speeches.
1t was a splendid convention
Veterans who attended, said il
was one of the largest ever held
in the district. Certain it was
that the covention of Tuesday
was the most closely contested
the outcome of which was not
known until the very last ballot
was taken, of any convention helc
for years in the 18th congressional
district. Flags waving, bands
playing and multitudes cheering
lent thrill of the old time cam
paign fever to the workers. Chas

l.. Moorman of Knox. AT one
time the Knox editor was within
six votes of carrying the con-
