NICE MOVE
g., - IS MADE
Supreme Court Gets Another
Phase OF the Proposed
Primaries.

Columbus, o., Jan. 25.-The Su-
preme court Saturday permitted the
filing and heard arguments in its
chambers in the case of Prosecutor
Welty, of Allen county, TO prevent
the holding of republican state pri-
maries under the Bronson law.
lWelty raises the question that pri-
maries contravenes the fourteenth
amendment to the feGeral constitution
guaranteeing equal protection to all.
1t Is suspected that this federal
question Is injected by the Foraker
ties in order to carry the case to
the United States courts and delay
final decision until after February
IL, when the primaries are to take
place.
The Ohio supreme court will decide
this case along with the Franklin
county one, probably next Tuesday.

WILL GIVE HIS BRIDE
A PRINCELY GIFT

Washington, Jan. 25. NO date
has yet been fixed for the marriage
of Miss Maud Ashford and ex-
senator Henry Gassaway Davis Of
West Virginia, the multimillionaire
whose engagement was announced
some time ago. 1t Is expected a
definite statement on this subject
will be made soon.
The family of ex-senator Davis

circulation that ex-senator Davis
is arranging an ante-nuptial agree
ment by which he makes an out

Ashford is regarded here as carry

not be materially impaired by the

CONVICTS
RELEASED
A Hundreds Prisoners Help
to Fight Flames in Port
land.

Portland, Me-, Jan. 25.-Fire, which
started in the city hall at 2 o'clock
Friday morning. while the Knights OF
Pythias celebration was in progress
on the second floor and was not got
under control until after daylight,
by which time the building and sew
eral surrounding structures had been
entirely destroyed.
There were over 500 knights OF
Pythias and guests in the building
when the fire was discovered, but the
fact was announced so calmly that no
panic resulted and all escaped with
out injury. AesHair y ~ rs
The loss is estimated at more than
100000 and will not cover the loss
of the papers and documents in the
registry Of deeds, where everything
was destroyed. The city depart
ments were swept clear OF everything
with the exception OF the city clerks
and dlty S'easurer's offices. The
money and securities in the city
treasurer's office are believed to be
intact.
A storm, which was at its height,
lat the time, made the task of the fire
men so difficult that the flames had
spread throughout the municipal
building and to several adjacent
structures before the first stream of
water was turned ON in many cases
a path had to be shoveled through
the drifted snow before the engines
could be placed in positions. F
Meantime the police reserves had
been called out, and with the assist
|ance OF a hastily enrolled corps of
volunteers, were removing more than
100 prisoners from the Jail, which Is
attached to the building adjacent to
the court building.
Those who had been arrested for
felonies were handcurfed together
and taken into a nearby hall, where
they were kept under guard of
wardens and policemen. Many of
the prisoners who were held on mis-
demeanor charges were paroled and
allowed 70 go to the assistance of the
firemen.
The only person seriously injured
was Chief Engineer Eldridge of the
fire department. He was hit in the
breast by the coupling OF hose.
which burst while he was directing
operations in front or the municipal
building.

GRAND JURY 1|ND|CTS
NEWSPAPER PUBLISHER
Editor Hiram P. Grouse, Who is well Known Throughout
Ohio is Charged Under Two Counts of Obtaining Money
Under False Pretenses-Was Formerly Publisher of
Finday and Toledo Papers.

Toledo, Jan. 25.--Hiram p. Grouse
until a few months ago president
of the old Press Publishing COM
pany and former publisher OF the
Toledo News-Bee and Times, and
the Findlay Republican, has been
indicted by the grand jury for OBJ
tanning money under false preten-
ses and falsifying the accounts and
juggling the records OF the. Press
company Two indictments have
been returned.
Grouse is now in the West, he
having gone to Enid, Okla, last fall
after he had been deposed as presi-
dent Of the Press company. When
he left Toledo, he was penniless and
it was necessary, it is said, for him
to borrow the price of his railroad
ticket. At End he procured an in
terest in a daily paper, but the VEN
ture did not pay and few weeks
ago he lost possession of his stock.
Grouse is well known throughout
Ohio, because of his connection with
newspapers and the active part he
has taken in politics. lie was a Re

The PRISONER
Jury Acquits Detsch of Muir
der-Accused Claimed 1t
was q Mistake.

Philadelphia, Penn, Jan. %. Az
ter trial OF three days Andrew
Jackson Detsch, charged with MUIR
dering Harry Ferree in a boarding
house in this city last November,
was acquitted late yesterday after
noon. The jury was out nearly
three hours. The announcement Of
the verdict caused an enthusiastic
demonstration In the courtroom.
The killing of Ferree was sensation
al and owing to the peculiar cir
cumstances the case created great
interest. Detsch claimed he killed
Ferree in mistake for a burglar,
and the jury took this view of the
case. Detsch, who is % years old,
lived with his young wife and child
in an uptown boarding house. On
the night of November policemen
heard shots and traced them to
the house They forced an entrance
and on the third floor hallway, in
front of the door of the Detsch
apartments, they found Ferree dead
with three bullets in his body. He
was in his stocking feet. Ferree
was about 80 years old, and had
occupied room on the second floor.
Detsch declared that he heard some
one trying to get in the room, and
thinking it was burglar, shot four
times through the door.
The police were inclined to accept
, this explanation, but in searching
the effects of Ferries tney found
many letters that had passed be-
tween Ferree and Mrs. Detsch and
a number of suggestive photographs
, The police then charged Detsch
| with having deliberately killed
Ferree. They contended that Detsch
learned of alleged misconduct be.
tween his wife and Ferree and
that Detsch caused his wife to lure
/ Ferree to her room, and that
Detsch fired the shots when he heard
Ferree place his hand on the door
knob.
Detsch maintained during the
trial that he did not know that
the man outside the door was Fer
rec, and that he thought he was
shooting burglar.

w. j. Bryan in the issue of the
Commoner OF Dec. 27, says:
"A contest between Nebraska
republicans is on. 1t is Taft against
LaFollette. One Taft supporter
wrote to the Lincoln Journal in
sisting that Mr.. Taft should be
nominated because he is "a fearless
fighter against predatory wealth
and corporation aggression" also
that there is no question as to his
(Tafts) position upon every point in
what we have come to recognize as
the Roosevelt policy. Frank A.
Harrison, the La Toilette leader in
Nebraska, has propounded to this
particular Taft boomer these ques-
tions: when did Mr.. Taft declare
his position on the policies now be-
fore the country? When did he
make this fearless fight against
predatory wealth and corporate
aggressionf" Surely DR.. Ely did not
receive this information by the
process of mental telepathy. II Mr..
Tafts chief recommendation is that
he is indorsed by Roosevelt, than by
the same reasoning are not Paul
Morton and the minister to Mexico
also fearless fighters against cor
p0ration aggressionY And isn't II
just possible that Roosevelt is a
better judge of policies than he is
of menf Shouldn't the Taft tub
stand on its own bottom?

Findlay Republican, which he found
ed and seven years ago he sold that
paper and came to Toledo. He pur-
chased the old Morning Commercial
afterward changing the name to The
Times and merging 1t with The
News.
With the Scripps-McRae syndicate
he later acquired control of The
Zee and for a long time was the
head OF the Toledo News-Bee and
Times. Later her became president
OF The Press company now out OF
existence, from which position he
was removed. The Press property
was then sold by S. David Robin
son, jr., receiver, to the Toledo Citi-
zen company.
Although they were the chief wit
nesses subpenaed against him and
felt that the company would have
achieved success. but for his alleged
misconduct of the business, 1t is
said Crouse's old associates in The
Press company do not wish to prose-
cute him.
An interesting coincidence in
connection with the case is that
Lyman w. Wachenheimer, as county
prosecutor. viii prosecute the case
against Grouse. When Grouse was
publisher of the Toledo News-Bee,
he opposed Wachenheimer's candid
acy Tor common pleas judge.
