WONDER WHAT HEMENWAYS
NEXT MOVE WILL Be

some very complimentary things about
him.
Another rumor since it has been an
nounced that he has resigned at Wash
ington, is that Hemenway is coming
back TO take the field as a candidate
again at Senator Beveridge for United
States senator next year in case the re-
pubNcans control the legislature But
this story has not received much atten-
ton. for the reason that 1t is admitted
that no one win run against Beveridge.
In that one proposition the party is
united. More credence Is put in the
theory that Hemenway will run for
governor, or that he will train for the
senatorship to succeed Senator Shively
when the latter's term expires. In any
event, Hemenway's resignation and his
coming back to Indiana ito take an ac-
tive part in politics" is arousing a good
deal Of speculation.

for each tramp was SIPS. The ma
jority were kept only over night and
we are safe in believing that many
went forth only to commit depredations
against the people of the county which
gave them shelter.
That the number of tramps received
is matter of administration only has
been proven again and again by the re-
ports of the sheriffs to this office A
county can readily establish a reputa-
ton for hospitality to this class. There
were 3S5 tramps in that jail during
the last fiscal year. In the jails of the
six counties that adjoin Henry there
were only PA tramps altogether. Those
counties were: Madison, 103; Delaware
20; Randolph, 6; Wayne, 5; Fayette, So;
Rush, onne, and Hancock. 81.
Another striking example is found
in the record of Decatur county Bar
thollomew, adjoining Decatur on the
west, had IA tramps, Shelby, on the
north. had 6 the other ajoining coun-
ties. Rush, Franklin and jennings. had
20 tramps. Decatur county in the
center of the group. had $50.
The counties in which the number of
u amps ltCttNS gu eANGEdeu IuU were L III
lerton, Madison, Allen. Porter Koscius-
ko, Montgomery and Carroll: over 200
Knotx, Sullivan and Elkhart; over 800
Marion, Decatur and Henry. Vigo har-
bored over 500.
The counties which have been bear
ing such heavy expense on account
of tramps could well emulate the ex-
ample of Tippecanoe county. In 1904
that county cared for 1910 tramps
Since there has been a steady reduc-
ton, there being but recorded for

TINES BUREAU
AT THE STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis. Ind. Dec. 1.-THE fact
that James A. Hemenway, former SEN
ator from Indiana. has resigned his
place as expense expert for the senate
committee on public expenditures and
that he will come back to Indiana and
take an active part in politics is caus-
ing a good deal Of talk in this city
among politicians. They do not quite
understand the move. Some time ago
there was talk OF Hemenway as a can
didate for the nomination for governor,
and it was learned that he had a large
following that would stick to him in
case he decided to go after the nomina-
ton. But Hemenway himself has not
said a word about it. The talk about
him as a candidate found its way into
the columns of the politician, weekly

the Lincoln League, and that paper said

a statement in which he says he does
not wish the place OF chairman of the
republican state committee. but it is
noted in his statement that he does not
say he would not accept IL. He merely
says that for him to accept the place
would mean heavy sacrifice on account
Of neglect of business, and that he does
not feel that he can afford to make the
sacrifice. However. he is the only man
talked Of for the craftsmanship now
since Harry S. New fatty declined to
run. and there seems to be little doubt
that Wilson viii be elected.
John c. Billheimer, auditor of state.
one of the cleverest politicians in the
state, sounded the keynote when he
made this statement In regard TO the
necessity for harmony IN the republican
party next year:
Every republican should put his
shoulder to the wheel and all push to-
gether. If there were differences of
opinion in the past we should be all Of
one mind now. The only way to win is
to let the dead past bury its dead and
all stand together in the present for the
future"
Billheimer formerly was prominent in
the old state machine, but lie is now
working along with all the rest Of the
party leaders for united front against
the enemy next year
This seems To BE the Dope
There is much speculation as to the
make up of the republican state com
mittee for the next campaign, but one
close observer has figured out that the
committee will be made up thus:
First
Daniel Ortmeyer. of Evansville
Second-Will II. Hays. of Brazil
Third-M. Burt Thurman. of New
ALBANY.
Fourth-AIbert A. Trip, Of North
Vernon. or Jacob Bauer, of Lawrence
burg
Fifth-Thad Peck of Greencasue.
seventh-Henry W. Bennett. Of IN
dianapolis.
Eighth-C. J. Bratton. of Alexandria.
Ninth-George Palmer. of Sheridan.
Tenth-A. J. Hickey. of LaPorte.
Eleventh-Francis l. Suits, of Hunt
ington.
Twelfth James W. Henry, Fort
Wayne.
Thirteenth - D. D. Bates. Of South
Bend.
Who VIII Succeed Haas.
No one seems to have any idea as TO
who will be elected district chairman
in the Sixth. E. NJ Haas, of Richmond
the present chairman, has been selected
for postmaster at Richmond and this
takes him out OF the eligible class An
effort was made to get Web Woodfll. OF
Greensburg, to take the place. but he
finally turned it down. George Elliott
of New Castle, was talked of, but it is
said that he may be appointed post
master, also and that leaves him out OF
/ the list So there is a nice job as dis
/ trict chairman in the Sixth that is oper
and no one to fill it. There are nc
fights on in any of the districts except
the Fourth, and this does not appear tc
be serious.
| No call has been issued as yet for the
conference of the members of the re
publican state committee and other
party leaders, but one will be held
within short time, and arrangements
will then be made for the love feast ane
flor the holding of conventions in the
various districts for the election of dis.
trict chairmen.

A DAY IN GARY LAND
HEARD BIZ RUBE.

Some one has been low enough to
criticise Street Commissioner P. c. Fin
nerty for failure to properly clean off
the snow and slush from Broadway
after the recent thaw If Finnerty
thinks that he doesn't take care Of
himself that no one else will, he is
right Now, the natural consequence
of slush, cold, rain and damp snow is
bly-you know Finnerty's other occu-
patton is that OF an embalmer.
1t was really charitable act on the
part OF the city to place those wrought
iron poles fifty feet apart on Broad
way for those persons who find it hard
TO navigate can generally make a safe
landing from one pole to another if they
get good start.
Mr.. Moose has had 1t for awhile and
he ought to give some one else a show.
Now that winter is on, It might help
some to put the South Shore line cars
on runners between Gary and Ham
mond. 1t would be worth while even
to save the milk from spelling.
Now that we have had a little rain,
followed by considerable mist, after
which we endured a severe cold spell,
ending with thaw and the most ag-
grevating slush we are suffering ex-
circulating agonies to know what's
coming next.
Really, this is a small world, Mr..
ziesloft. You didn't think we'd do it,
but we did.

arm for pegging and in the second
game at Kansas City prevented many
stolen bases. Then Kern is a hitter
too, meeting the ball square on the
nose most every time.
Plenty of Good Pitchers.
OF the pitchers. Cooley. also. holds a
high opinion. He now has six on the
staff, in addition to KilIingsworth, most
of whom are youngsters, and all of
whom show unusual promise of develop
ing into something worthy to dispose of
to the big leagues. He has three right
handlers and three left-handers at the
present time. OF the right-handers, all
look good. Hendrix, who was here last
season, and who failed to get a very
good start, seems to have been doped
wrong, for he is showing every symptom
of developing into something good in
the pitching line. He has feshed up a
little and his arm is in great form. He
has all kinds of smoke and his fast one
has a good break on it. Slapnicka has
great curve ball and a mystifying
splitter. Scott, the other Highlander,
is a youngster who lacks the expert
ence of the two above mentioned twirl-
ers, but shows great promise.
| Cooley has probable chance of land
| ing Selby, whom he sold to Louisville
| last fall, and Selby's ability is unques-
toned. Then there are other right
handlers he can probably secure and
who may prove better than any now
on the staff.
The left-handers look fine at this time
of year. Beltz is a youngster who
showed unusual form against the Wash
/ ington American leaguers and was a
complete puzzle, for at no time were
they able to score on the youngster
Sunday he held them hitless for three
innings, and two days later in six in

Kahl is fair player, both as a fielder
and hitter, although he does not shine
in either department. He has always
been above the average, and is always
in condition. The other two positions
seem to be disputed the most. Cullen
Is making a good record on third, and
is hitting the ball well. Nagel was
thrown out of practice on account of
out for several days yet. Consequently
Cooley will be at a disadvantage in
making his final selection for this po-
sition. Nagel is undoubtedly a great
infielder and all that will keep him from
making good is inability to hit. Cullen
is making great record on third, and
has shown his ability to play other po-
sitions as well, having worked both be-
hind the bat and at short. Cooley has
two other well known infielders who
Andrews. Olson will be here in a few
days, and Jay Andrews will report in
time to put in strong claim for third
base. Should still another infielder be
needed, Cooley can shift Geier to one
of the positions as he is strong man
on the inner works.
Strength in Hitting.
One of the strong points developed in
the team work thus far is the hitting
ability. There is not a man on the team
but can ''sting the ball." and some good
exhibitions of stick work have been
given already. Fenlon, Long, Cooley and
Cullen hit hard and have one or more
bingles chalked up every day. Green
has hit in spurts thus far, but his abil-
ity from past records is well known,
and he will probably commence to hit
with the warmer weather.
Taking it from all angles, it looks like
la safe bet to say that the Topeka team
will be a winner this season.
Manager Cooley, however, has not in
timated whom he would name for the
different positions in the final selection
81 have plenty of time left for that"
he says.

Quality

walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component
