DEMOCRATS WILL
OPPOSE PRIMARY
PROMINENT DEMOCRATS
SAY JUDICIAL PRIMARY
is NOT IN ACCORD
ANCE WITH LAW
MAY SEEK
INJUNCTION.

The opposition to the Demo-
cratic Judicial Primary scheme
which has existed in this county
ever since the primary election
was agreed upon by the central
committee, has about reached a
head. Influential lawyers and
prominent Democrats in this city
and county have determined to
take action against the joint Ju-
dicial primary.
A demand will be served upon
the Marshall County Democratic
Central committee, that no pri-
mary be held, because it is con-
trary to law, and that instead, a
regular delegatory convention be
held. for the Judicial convention.
If the committee does not con-
cede to this demand, it is probable
that an injunction will be asked
for, to prevent the holding of the
said primary.

Il. Gott of Charlottesville. ;. secre-
tary of the state board, who was
at the state house Thursday,
there are many in the medical

ATLANTIC FLEET NOT TO
STOP AT EUROPEAN
PORTS.
Will Take on Coal in the Medi-

1t has been decided definitely
that the American fleet of battle
ships will not call at any Euro
pean port on its way home, with
the exception of certain points in
the Mediterranean where it is
necessary to stop for coal.
This information is conveyed
in the American reply to the in
vitation extended by Great Brit
ain that the fleet come to Eng
land. This answer, which has
just been received at the Foreign
Office, says the American Gov
ernmen regrets that the fleet will
not be able to touch at any Euro
pean port except those in the
Mediterranean it will, however,
probably call at Malta or Gibral-
ter, or possibly both. In conclu-
sion. President Roosevelt ex-
presses his cordial thanks to
Great Britain for the invitation
and for the facilities offered for
coaling and to make repairs at
the British ports along the fleets
route from the far East TO the At

LECTURER FINDS CULVER
LIKES TO BE DRY

Prof. Whitenack Makes Two Ad-

League-Place Prosper
ing.

O. O. Whitenack, professor of
history in the South Bend High
school returned Monday from
Culver, where he delivered two
lectures Sunday in the interest
of the Anti-Saloon league. The
first lecture was delivered Sun
day morning at the First M. E.
church when Mr., Whitenack
briefly summarized the work of
the league throughout the State.
In the evening he lectured to an
audience which taxed the capac-
ity of the First Reformed church
and whole attention he held close
ly throughout, delivering his fav-
orite lecture, entitled, THE Real
Lecture"
Mr.. Whitenack reports splen-
did progress of the town since
the ousting of the saloons, and
that the vicinity is being greatly
benefited. Culver has been a
dry town for two years, and
the combined efforts of the bust
ness men of the place has proven
to keep it as such. The remon-
STRANGE against the saloons was
signed by nearly 20 per cent. Of
the voters of the town, and the
signatures of all the business men

PLANNED TO BURN TOWN.
Postponed eat Last Moment Be-
cause of Intense Excitement
Over Other Depredations.

A plan for the destruction of
the town of Murray, KY, Which
was to be raided by a band of
night riders, set on fire and re-
duced to ashes, has been revealed
by the confession of another of
the alleged band of Galloway
county riders.
Judge Wells will not permit
names to be given until arrests
are made. but permitted the af-
fdavit to be read. According to
its story, Murray was to be de-
stroyed on the night of March
26. The Trigg county night rid
ers, $50 strong, were to assist.
Everything had been arranged
for this body to cross the river,
unite with the Galloway county
band and enter the town from
several directions. The night be-
fore the proposed raid, it was de
cided to postpone it because of
the intense excitement over other
depredations

REDUCED RATE FOR
STATE G. A. r. MEETING
First Conc cession Since Two Cent
Fare Law was Passed.

Reduced passenger rates over
the Lake Erie & Western line to
Kokomo for the State G.. A. K.
encampment, which will begin
May 20, are announced in an or
der which has been issued by the
Indiana Department, G. A. K.
This reduction is the first that
has been made for any State con-
vention since the 2-cent fare law
was enacted by the Legislature
of 1907.
More than one year ago, or
shortly after the 2-cent fare law
became effective, the word went
out that the Central Passenger
Association would be exceeding
ly economical in the way of re-
duced rates. In fact, it is stated
by railroad men there was tacit
understanding among all of the
roads in the State that no re-
duced rates would be given tor
State conventions or meetings OF
State associations of any kind
Since that time no reduced rates
of this kind nave been granted
until the Lake Erie & Western
took such action with regard to
the G.. A. r. encampment. Just
what will be the result of the
Lake Erie & Westerns move is
not known, but it is believed that
since the alleged agreement has
been broken it will not be SO diff
cult to obtain rate concessions
The rate which as been granted
for the State G.. "A. r. encamp-
ment is / cent mile each way
plus 25 cents for the round-trir
ticket. The reduced rate will be
allowed from all points in the
State touched by the l.. E. & w
line. and it is expected that many
veterans will take advantage ol
| it.
1t is announced in the G.. A. r
order that the officers of the
State department will leave Indl.
annapolis in a special train Tues
day morning, May 10, over the
L. f. & w. All comrades are in
vited to join this delegation, as
there will be enough cars to ac-
commodate all who come. 1t is
noted that all who live in the
southern part of the State and
those living east and west of In,
dianapolis may easily take ad-
vantage of the special train.
Round-trip tickets at reduced
rates over the l.. f. & w. will be
sold on May 10, and will be goot
returning until May 22. The G
A. r. has been unable to get re.
duced rates over the Traction
lines.
1t is announced that Sol. A
Pennington, of Kokomo, will b'
officer of the day during the en-
campment, and Nelson Stanbro
also of Kokomo, will be officer O
the guard. Two campfres will
be held Wednesday evening, May

LOCAL OPTION
PLANK PLEASES
K z P u B LICAN COUNTY
CHAIRMEN AND WORK
ERS SAY COUNTY
PLAN is ONE OF
BEST PLANKS
EVER HAD.

Reports received by the Re
publican. State committee indi-
cate that the rank and file of the
party throughout the State is
we'll satisfied with the local op-
ton plank built into the platform
by the recent convention. County
and district chairmen, after max
ing careful inquiry in regard to
public sentiment, united in de-
claring that the convention did a
wise thing in designating the
county as the unit for the propos-
ed law.
Some doubt existed immediate
ly after the convention regarding
the feasibility of the plank, which
was strong, straightforward and
easily understood. The platform
builders were agreed on it and the
leaders were satisfied, but they
wondered if the masses of the
people understood and approved.
Consequently, it was decided to
sound public sentiment. County
chairmer and prominent workers
in the various localities were
asked to conduct careful inquiries
and to make reports. 1t is these
reports that convince the State
committee that no mistake was
made, on the contrary, that ex-
actly the right thing was done.
Not only rural communities
but those including centers of
population have reported an 90.
*. and more surprising than all
are the commencing reports of
counties made up largely of Ger
man populations. One county in
particular known for what is
sometimes called "liberality" re-
ported that the plank was all
right, that it is thoroughly Amer
ican, that it leaves to the major
ity the final say as to saloons,
that is is founded on the Republi-
con theory of government and
the American theory of fair play.
The State committee is graft
fed with the character of the re-
ports and rejoices that the party
is so unified on SO important a
question.

MORTALITY in
THE PAST YEAR
REPORT SHOWS THERE
WERE MORE HOMICIDES
& DEATHS BY ACCI-
DENT DURING PAST
YEAR THAN YEAR
BEFORE.

Reports compiled by the chief
of the Indiana brueau of statis-
tics show that there was an in
crease in 1907 not only in suicides
but in homicides and deaths by &C
cident. The report is made up
from reports received from coun-
ty cbroners of the State, and
inquests. The figures show that
there were 355 inquests in suicide
cases in 1907, and in 1906 the
number was 303. The increase in
the number of suicides was Who'll
ly among the white population of
the State. The number of white
men who committed suicide in
1907 was 256, and the number in
1906 was 224. The number of
white women who committed
suicide in 1907 was ninety-four
and the number in 1906 was sew
enty-forr. The number of suicides
among the colored population
was FIVE for each year. In 1907
four colored males and one fe
male committed suicide. In 1906
these figures were reversed.
Reports of the coroners show
also a slight increase in the num-
Der of deaths from railroad acci-
dents. The total number last year
was SIC, while the number during
the preceding year was 511.
There was decrease, however,
in the number of deaths from ac-
citents on steam railroads, the
number in 1907 being 425, and
in 1906, 44S. The number OF
deaths from accidents on interur-
ban roads in 1907 was 80, and III
1906. 80, and the number OF
deaths from street railway acci-
dents was II in 1907 and "a in
1906. Accidents of all kinds caus-
ed the deaths of 1,042 white men
in 1907. The number of white
men who died as the result of ac-
cident in 1906 was 944. The num-
Der of white women killed in ac-
cidents in 1907 was 156 and the
number in 1906 was 10. The
number of male negroes killed in
accidents in 1907 was 80, and in
1906. 80. The number of female
negroes killed in this way in 1907
was Z and in 1906 /.
In homicides for the two years
the figures are as follows: 1907,
white men, IS; white women, % ;
colored men. 23; colored women,
IS. 1906, white men, 7S; white
women, 10; colored men, IA col
ored women, 2. In 1907 there
were 1,170 coroners' cases In
which it was found that death had
resulted from natural causes. In
1906 there were 1,205 such cases.
| The total number of coroners' in
quests in the State in 1907 was
2.SSS, and the total number in
1906 was 2,775.

MEETS PAINFUL
ACCIDENT.

Burned While Using Gaso-

Mrs. Milton SOice met with a
painful accident at her home on
West LaPorte street this after
noon. which will conhne her to
her home for sometime. She was
engaged i'll cleaning some articles
with gasoline when vaporization
caused the liquid to take fire
from a nearby stove, and badly
burned Mrs. Soice about the face,
hands and arms. AS soon as
the gasoline took fire Mrs. Soice
called to her daughter Miss
Hazel. who threw rug about
her mother, extinguishing the
flames. A physician was called
who found the burns very severe.

Will Republicans Invite Defeat?

1t is hardly conceivable that
the Republican district committee
will presume to nominate one or
two candidates for the succession
to Congressman Brick. Such au-
thority might properly be exer-
cised under vastly different con-
ditions. If the vacancy had oc-
Cured later in the year, shortly
before the November election,
there would be substantial reason
for allowing the committee to
designate the candidate. But
with more than six months ahead,
and many reasons existing why
under the changed condition of
things the people should be con-
suited, it would seem like inviting
defeat for the committee to arro-
gate to itself power that is lodged
in it only in case of emergency

COME TO HUNT FOR NEPHEWS
MIR. and Mrs. D. L. Dean Searching for Herbert
Cunning gham and Brother VIM. Morey
Who as Lads We're Adopted
by Plymouth People

BOYS, the eldest of whom was less
than 8 years, and Mr.. Dean being
unable at that time to provide
a home for them, having a family
of children of his own, they were
placed in a Boston orphanage,
the institution agreeing to take
good care of them and find them
good homes. They were soon
sent West, but the relatives were
not apprised of their destinations.
AT this city over a hundred of
the boys and girls were adopted
by various families, Mr.. and Mrs.
Cunningham taking charge of
William and Herbert Morey.
In a short time unknown to the
boys their mother died of con-
sumption. Mr.. Dean retained a
deep interest in his sister child
rem and as time passed and he
prospered financially he began to
seek information as to their
whereabouts and welfare.
AS the years passed Mr.. Deans
children reached maturity and
married. He and his wife then
began to devote much of their
time to travel and Mr.. Dean de-
cided upon a determined search
for his missing nephews. He fin
ally learned two or three years
ago in a manner which he does
not wish known, that William
was living with Peter w. Brown
i'll LaPorte county and decided
that upon his next trip west he
would visit Indiana.
: From Mr.. Brown it was learn
ed that when the Morey boys
were sent West each was given a
home at Plymouth, where Her
bert has since remained.
Nj. Cunningham upon being
interviewed at his home in this
city. stated that seventeen years
ago, he took both the orphan
boys, intending to keep Herbert,
and find home for William. The
elder boy he said, has Had a hard
time of it, being shifted from one
family to another, bht always
calling Plymouth his home. The
last Mr.. Cunningham heard from
William, he was in Buchanan,
Mich, and this was two years
ago.
At first William made his
home with Preacher Clark in this
city. Later he was taken by one
Sam Swaysgood, then by John
Cook, living west of this city,
again by Preacher Clark, and fin
ally by Peter Brown, of Michi-
gan City. In each case, a home
was found for him by Mr.. Cum
ningham.
Herbert will be 21 years of age
in August. He has a good home
with Mr.. Cunningham, and is
perfectly satisfied with his pres
ent lot. He did not know of the
death of his mother, nor that he
had an uncle and aunt living, un-
til shown clipping of the story
