LEGGED FRAUDS.

Indianapolis, Ind. Dec. 19.-Burt
New, who was democratic candidate
for reporter of the supreme court
decided today TO make no contest for
the office in legislature. and says he
believes he was elected, but the ex-
pense of contest and the prospect of
long litigation is more than the office
is worth. New was defeated by
George Self, republican.
James F. Cox, democrat. defeated
for secretary of state, and Marion
Bailey. democrat. defeated for audit
or of state. say they have not changed
their minds and will go ahead with
the preparations for the contest. II
is believed, however, they will finally
take the same action as New.
New says he will not make further
investigation of the Lake county nat

The above prizes are those furnish
ed by the Richmond business firms
and citizens for special prizes to be
awarded in The Greater Richmond
Poultry and Pet Stock Association ex-
hibit to be held at the Pythian temple
January Is to 16 inclusive. Aside from
these special prizes the list includes
many others either of cash or for
merchandise, totaling near $500 in
value. The citizens and merchants
are giving the association every en-
couragement and the first poultry
show promises to be a success suffi-
cient to make the affair an annual
one.
The association organized by the
fanciers for the purpose of holding
the show will meet Monday night at
the Commercial club and consider
business. At this session the poultry
fanciers would like to meet some of
the dog fanciers. The dog men of the
city will probably not exhibit in con-
junction with the poultry breeders
this season because they are as yet
not organized. However many of
them viii place their dogs in as pets
for which premiums will probably be
offered.
The premium list which has Just
been completed by the association and
ready for distribution consists of 40
pages, including many advertise
ments, the rules of the show. the di-
rectors and officers of the organiza-
ton, the contributors and much more
interesting information. 1t will be
sent to every poultry breeder in the
state and, in fact, nearly all in the
middle west, in hopes of securing
these dealers to send exhibits. The
advertising alone which Richmond
will receive from this means will be
of vast benefit TO the city.
The organization will charge a
small admission fee in order to pay
expenses. This is a means adopted
instead of depending on contributions
from the merchants to make the af-
fair a success. The association is ex-
pecting at least 500 exhibits

be recognized. This circumstance
places the couple in an embarrass-
ing position. The marriage that was
performed in Kentucky is valid in
nearly every state in the Union be-
sides Indiana AS a consequence, If
either the young woman or young
man should desire to marry in most
sections OF the Union other than Indi-
ana, there is probability they might
be accused of bigamy.
The young woman said prior to Au-
gust of this year, she knew very little
about her husband. She said she came
to Richmond TO visit his parents and
at first did not like the young printer
Later she grew TO like him and finally
this affection ripened into love- She
went to Columbus. Ohio and entered
the Ohio State university. She said
Howell teiephoned to her and later
went 10 Columbus. They found they
could not be married under the laws
OF Indiana, so went to Kentucky to
avoid them and be married there.
That was November j. They lived
together about two weeks. Strenuous
objections were raised by the father
of the young woman and so suit was
entered to have the marriage annuled
The court held such an action is not
necessary as the marriage is not rec
ognixed In Indiana.

TELLS, CONGRESSMEN
TARIFF is UNNECESSARY

Washington, d. c., Dec. 19.-"If you
protect our competitors you leave us
above protection. and l believe that
the United States Steel corporation
should make public its affairs and sub
nit to government control" was the
remarkable declaration of Ebert Fl.
Gary, chairman of the board of direc-
tors of the United States Steel corpo-
ration, at the hearing before the
house ways and means committee yes
terday.
This is radical" he added, but re-
member that am not speaking for the
steel corporation in saying this
Mr.. Gary. like Charles NJ. Schwab,
who appeared before the committee
Tuesday, was an admirable witness,
giving much information and submit
ting to a severe cross examination. His
testimony in substance showed that
the tariff is needed more as a protec-
ton for the Independent steel manu-
facturers Than for the steel corpora
clared that the reduction of the duty on
certain steel products would compel
the steel companies to reduce the cost
of labor.
Corporation Can Care for Itself.
He said that the competitors of the
steel corporation needed protection,
but that the corporation could take
care of itself
Suppose this committee would wipe
out the steel duty entirely, the United
States Steel corporation would still sur
vive?' inquired Representative Champ
Clark, of Missouri.
Il cannot say" replied Judge Gary,
but | am of the impression that if we
did we would have a monopoly of the
market in this country. | don't think
we could make a reasonable and fair
profit if the tariff were put on that ba-

Packers Don't Need Tariff.
A r. Urion of Armour & Co.. the
first representative of the larger meat
packers to appear before the commit
tee, also was a witness today. He de-
clared that it would make no difference
to the concerns he represents if the
tariff on hides is lower, raised. or ta-
ken off entirely. He said that the
tariff has added from 80 cents to S1.1O
to the value of hides. He asserted
that the farmer received the entire
benefit of this increased value
Mr.. Urion said that the statement
that the packers control the tanning as
well as the packing business is incon-
sistent.
81 think in that case we would want
hides on the free list
Mr.. Urion admitted that the packers
had interests in some tanneries, and
that Mr.. Armour owns stock in the
United States Leather company. The
hide is 6 per cent of the value of an
animal, said the witness, and brings
to the farmer $3.50 to 81. He said

this will probably be done within the
next few days.
Public Morals Scrap.
1t is not so much the memberships
on the committees that they want, but
the chairnanships Of the most inn
portant committees. For instance,
the committee on public morals will
have in its hands any bills that may
be introduced for the repeal of the
county local option law, and this will
make ii one Of the most important of
the entire number, because there is
going to be general onslaught on
this law during the session. Each
side will try to get the chairmanship
of this committee. The temperance
people. who will seek to prevent the
repeal of the law, have not come out
openly and asked anything of the
committee on committees, but 1t is
said that they will ask that Senator
Ezra Mattingly, of Davies county, be
made chairman of the committee on
public morals. Senator Mattingly is
one of the strongest temperance ad-
vocates in the senate and the right
hand man of Governor Hanly. AT the
last session of the legislature Mating
~ introduced the thousand dollar H.
cense bill that came so near to becom-
ing a law, and he made a vigorous
fight for it. He also spoke in favor
of the blind tiger bill, which passed
by almost unanimous vote. Mat
tingly is practically prohibftionist,
and his appointment as chairman of
this committee would be looked upon
as big victory for the temperance
people.
Wood Is Favored.
The liberals WILL of course. be op-
posed to the selection of Mattingly
for this important post. They will. it
is said, favor the appointment of sena-
tor Will r. Wood for chairman of
the committee on public morals
Wood is understood to be in favor of
the repeal of the county local option
law. and this will suit the liberals
first rate. If il is not Wood then it
may be Senator Bland himself. who
will be asked to take the chairman
ship of this committee. Bland is a
liberal and will probably stand for the
repeal. as he said in voting for the
bill at the special session that he op-
posed it but would vote for it in order
TO be regular with his party, but that
81 the people of mis- county were dis.
satisfied with it afterward he would
vote to repeal the law And he has
said since then that his people are dis
satisfied with it Therefore. it is fair
+ to assume that he will favor repeal
bill.
But Senator Bland would much pre-
fer the chairmanship of the commit
tee on mines and mining, because his
county, Greene, is the largest coal pro-
ducing county in the state, and he is
Interested in mining conditions.
Another committee that seems to
be in demand is the railroads commit
tee. 1t is said that several senators
are asking that they be made chair.

are railroad lawyers or representa-.
