INAUGURATION is
To Be POSTPONED
Illinois Legislature in Indefinite
Deadlock.

Springfield, H., Jan. 8.-With the
two houses of the Forty-sixth General
assembly in deadlock over canvassing
the vote cast for state officers at the
last election, there will be no inaug-
ural here on Monday next, which is
the day when all the state officers
elect will be indicted into office un-
der ordinary circumstances. The
house and senate organizations locked
horns when the senate refused to par
ticipate in joint session to canvass
the vote until being fully assured in
advance relative to the plan OF action
to be followed by the Shurtleff Re-
publicans in the house in the event
that the Democrats attempt to file
their governorship contest with the
joint assembly.
How long the deadlock will con-
tinue is purely problematical 1t may
last only, until early next week or it
may continue Indefinitely.

OPEN UP COURT STREET.


The letter of Judge Beckner in
yesterdays News suggesting that
now is the time to open South Court
street to Maple and to move the
county Jail from its present position
is worthyof serious consideration.
The location of the Federal building
has added to the value of the prop
erty around the courthouse. The
new Perry building has shownsthe
possibilities of business going there.
Main street is crowded and there
must, be an outlet somewhere.
The best way to build up the
square is. to make a thoroughfaIe
clear through to Maple, and now is
the time to act, when there is no
obstruction to the street.

New Phone No. 81.
FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 1909.
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

The dreadful calamity of Thurs
day morning, when one human life
was sacrificed and over $4,000
worth of property destroyed, en-
phasizes strongly the position of
The News that the Fire Department
should be strengthened. We do not
believe that any. Fire Department
could have saved the Court View
hotel after the fire got fairly start
cd. But we cannot tell when an
other such calamity may overtake
Winchester.
If two fires had broken out Thurs
day morning, it would have been
impossible to control them. One
only could have been taken care of.
The Fire Department has under
consideration the purchase of a
new hose wagon. Let the matter
be pushed at once. Now is the
time to get the Council to act.
With the Court View catastrophe in
our minds 1t will be far easier to Sc
cure action than if the matter is al
lowed to drag indefinitely.
The Fire Committee has been in
yestigatlng various kinds of wagons
and ought to be in a position to
know the best. They should close
up the matter Immediately, and not
wait for further disastrous fires.

Michigan Murder Mystery
Grows Deeper.
BONES NOT IDENTIFIED

Authorities Are Looking IN Canada
For Man Answering Description Of
Rev. J. n. Carmichael Who Crossed
st. Clair River-Carpenter Who
Has Been Missing For Several Days
Thought to Be Victim of Brutal
Butchery In Country Church.
st. Clair, Mich. Jan. 8.-Rev. ]. H.
Carmichael, the Methodist minister of
Adair. Mich, who was thought to be
the victim and whose dismembered
and burned body was found in the
stove Of his church near Columbus,
Mich, is now thought to be alive.
The authorities of st. Clair county,
looking upon the minister as a fugi-
tive instead of a murders victim,
have sent descriptions of him to the
police of number of Canadian cities
in the hope that a stranger who
crossed the st. Clair river from ST.
Clair, Mich. to COPYRIGHT, Ont, may
prove to be the missing clergyman,
and may be located and returned to
Michigan to clear up the Rattle Run
church mystery.
Indications point TO Gideon Brown
ing of Adair, a carpenter, who has
been missing for several days, as the
victim who lost his life in the des-
perate hand-to-hand struggle that VIC
lated the rural sanctuary. The muir
der probably occurred in the early
evening of Tuesday, with an impro-
vised paper shade subduing the flick
ering light of a little oil lamp that
cast the only light shed upon the
scene as dirk and Ratchet wrought
their bloody work.
Frank Carrier of st. Clair reported
that he had been approached by
man resembling very much the de-
scription of Rev. Carmichael, who
had offered him 50 if he would take
him across the river to Canada. Car
rier did not like 60 take his boat out
into the ice that was running in the
river at the time, and declined the
strangers offer.
The only arrest that has been made
is that of Frank Smith of Adair, at
whose home boarded Gideon Brown
ing the missing carpenter. But there
is no charge pending against Smith.
The authorities have taken him into
custody merely to hold him as wit
ness.

OFFICEHOLDERs MUST
QUIT COMMITTEE
Democratic Party Law Does Not Ap-
ply to Members Who Were Such
When Rule Was Adopted.

MT. STERLING, KY, Jan. Sat
the last meeting of the Democratic
State Central Committee of Ken
lucky, SecUion of the new party
law was referred to Messrs. J. A.
Sullivan, of Richmond; j. A. Don
aldson, of Car1ollton, and W. A.
Berry, of Paducah, for an opinion
constituting the same. This section
prescribes the qualifications of
members of the State Committee
and points out certain Disqualified
tons.
Since that time a controversy
arose in Breckenridge county, as to
the meaning of Section 25, and Hon.
Henry R. PIewitt, State chairman,
to whom it was certified, referred
the same to the subcommittee
above named, for an opinion con-
STRUNG.
This section prescribes the quail
fications of members of local COM
mittees and points out certain dis
qualifications.
The BrecKinridge county contro-
versy arose over the election of
Hon T. j. Moore, as chairman Of
the County Committee of that coun-
ty. Mr.. Moore is also Circuit Coun-
ty Clerk at HardinsbuIg and menu
Der of the State Central Committee
from the Fourth Congressional Dis
trict.
Judge Henry DeHaven Norman
questioned the eligibility of Moore
and Chairman Prewitt is in receipt
of an exhaustive opinion fully con-
STRUNG the sections above named,
from the said subcommittee. The
opinion is a unanimous one and
will in all probability be adopted by
the State Central Committee at it's
next meeting.
The subcommittee rules that
Office holders or candidates for office
who became such after June II,
1908, when the PARTY law was
adopted at the Lexington conven-
ton, is ineligible to hold the Office
of party committeeman, but that
this provision does not apply to
Democrats who were already in
office or already candidates at the
time or prior to the date of the
adoption of the law.
The subcommittee goes still fur
ther ard holds that the very action
of accepting an Office, appointive
or elective, or of becoming a candi-
idate for one, creates vacancy on
the part of any member of any
Democratic committee in the State.
and that this inhibition extends to
the chairman of the party commit
tee, whether he is a member of the
committee or not, the party law
permitting the election of person
not a member of a committee as it's
chairman.

TO CONTINUE FIGHT
Indiana Senator Determined to Press Passage of Bill
Providing for a Tariff Commission With Authority
to Probe All Features of Situation.

That Senator Albert J.. Beveridse Of
Indiana will renew his tariff commits
sion fight is the word that reaches here
from Indiana. Senator Beveridge will
press for the passage Of his bill. which
he introduced i'm the cours of the spe-
clal session. It provides for a tariff
commission amply equipped with au-
thority 20 get TO the bottom of any
tariff questions that may arise.
Senator Beveridge is understood 10 be
convinced that the tariff board or com
mission. which the President lately ap-
pointed. has not the power requisite to
examine as fully into tariT matters as
it ought 20 be. He feels this the more
because Of the position taken by Sen
ator Hale that the board has no power
except 20 ascertain simply whether other
nations are discriminating against tie
United States.
The renewal of the struggle for a
tariff commission possessing real au-
thority, in which Senator Beveridge will
have the backing Of the Senate Re
publican insurgents and some who have
not been classed as insurgents prom
Uses to center even more attention on
the new tariff board than has been
anticipated. The high tariff leaders in
the Senate Will fight not only the Bev-
eridge plan and all similar ones. but
Will also try to hedge round with more
restrictions than ever the existing tariff
board. They may even try to wipe
out the appropriation for the tariff
board entirely. The effect will be to
keep the tariff commission question an
extremely live one and to keep atten-
ton in Congress still centered on the
tariff in some OF it's phases.
Senator Beverage passed through
Washington the other day and STONED
The Washington times., 1909-09-28

Hampshire, where he spent the summer.
At indianapolis he gave out an inter
view IN which he pointed out that no
legislation would pass the Senate this
winter until IL had been subjected II 4
most thorough Investigation. He said
the recent session Of Congress was not
able for one thing, that il showed the
determination Of public men TO investi-
gate thoroughly every question present.
ed for their action. He thought the
insurgents would insist on studying any
proposed legislation with great care, and
that probably this would be the postum
of a majority Of the Senate.
Senator Beveridge, among other
things, plans TO introduce anew his anti
Injunction bill, which provides for
notice to the adverse party before an
injunction can be issued, and limits
the length Of time within which a hear
ing is required. He will also take much
Interest In the proposed revision Of the
Sherman law.
The statement by Senator Beverdge
is taken 10 indicate that all the insur-
gent senator's are going TO insist that
the railroad and corporation legislation
which will be proposed the coming win
ter be carefully ScrutlniZed. Ihey are
also expected TO give close scrutiny TO
any monetary plans which may be ad-
vanced, especially to the central bank
plan, which will be more or less talked
over at the Capitol this winter. It is
pretty we'll understood here that the
insurCent Senator'S are planning on some
pretty close team work the coming ses-
sion.

Of Senator Beveridge has quoted in IN
