TRY TO ENTER
THE HOME
Governor Marshall Besieged
by Applicants Who Want
to Get Admission to Old
Soldiers Home at Lafay-
cite.
TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL.


indianapolis. Ind, Nov. 15.-Governor
Marshall has during the past week been
besieged by scores of persons who wish
to enter the state soldiers home at La
fayette. and he has been making an
investigation of the conditions not only
at that institution but at all of the 9TH
er state institutions, with the result
that some changes are about to be
made.
Scores of letters have been received
lately by the governor from persons
who say they are entitled to admission
to the soldiers home. but when they
make application they are informed
that the home is full and that no more
inmates can be accommodated. Many
of the letters complained of this con-
dition. and it was as a result of these
complaints that the governor looked
into things
1t is said that the governor has
found that there are many men and
women at the state soldiers home who
should be taken care Of outside. Mum
erous cases were found. it is said,
where the man or the woman was well
able TO take care of himself or herself
number of them were found who have
property enough to keep them. Others
were found who draw large pensions
from the government-large enough to
provide for their maintenance-but the
state is keeping them. 1t is said that
one man was found there who owns
S6 600 worth of property and yet the
state is keeping him at the home. other
cases were found of persons whose fam
lilies are well able to support them.
Governor Marshall is going to insist
that these persons be weeded out OF
the home if possible In order to make
room for the many other in the state
who are really needy and should be
taken care of by the state Under the
law, when person becomes an inmate
of the state soldiers home he may re-
main there for life. but the plan OF
the governor is TO have as many as pos
sible of those who are able to take care
of themselves TO take a long leave OF
absence, thus making 1t possible to take
in the needy ones.
AS result of this investigation II
is said that the governor will instruct
/ the boards of trustees of all of the
other state benevolent institutions K
look into their conditions along til,
same lines. He wants them to find ouf
if there are any inmates in their in.
stitutions who are financially able t,
care for themselves, or whose familie.
! are able to take care of them. He be
lieves the state should not be com
! PEELED to support persons who are abb,

lilies are able 10 relieve the state o
this expense. The order has not We
been issued, but 1t will be soon. 50 it +
understood. and 1t will apply TO tn
various homes in the state.

Indiana Harbor, Nov. 15.--One of the
most successful functions that ever
took place IN Indiana Harbor was the

Dor and East Chicago last Saturday
night. Owing to lack Of cuisine ia
cilities the banquet was given at the

many compliments for the hotel man

After the diners had satisfied the
inner man they repaired to the club
rooms to be treated to an intellectual
feast Mr.. George ". Lewis was the
first speaker President Lundquist

subject was cold Times in East Chi

this subject was a happy one. as there
is probably no one who is more fa-

praises OF Indiana Harbor. which h,

been very delinquent in his school at

LOUISVILLE DEPOT BURNS.
Was City Terminal for Five Large
Railway Systems.

Louisville, KY, March 19.-By the
destruction last night. at a loss of
100000 of the Union depot, the local
terminal for five of the city's chief
railroads, Louisville will probably
benefit by a new Union station. This
was decided last night by the Com
merciaI club half an hour after the
old building was mass of smoking
embers.
Crossed wires in the attic of the big
structure are supposed to have caused
the fire, which made an empty shell of
the depot before the fire department
arrived. w. G. Roach, a clerk in the
Illinois Central railway. fell through a
skylight in an effort to escape, and
was badly injured. All other occu-
pants escaped unhurt. Only the walls
are left standing but as the trainshed
was uninjured, the schedules of the
five roads were unhampered.
Using the depot were the Illinois
Central Big Four, Southern, B. & o.
S. w. and the Chesapeake & Ohio. A
railroad coach is being used as a ticket
office.
