An Angry Mob Threatens to Lynch
Motorman and Conductor.

New York, Feb. 26.-An angry mob
seeking to avenge the death of a five
year-old boy who was killed by a
Madison avenue street car in Harlem,
attacked the motorman and con-
ductor, smashed the windows of the
car and were threatening a lynching
when the police reserves arrived and
charged with their night sticks and

The victim was Nathan Sadak who
was struck while attempting to cross

conductor had been arrested on a
technical charge of homicide, a jeer-

questions
There is only four square miles diff

and the state Of New York. Take Con-

approximately half the size of the state

than Holland, Belgium and Denmark
combined. 1t has a remarkable extent
Of coast line on two oceans. On the
Caribbean it reaches nearly 800 miles

It's least width is 125 miles, or approx

Charles Majors contribution, THE
Magic Fife" was a short story.
Cy Warman, who knows something
about railroads. and who writes, natur-
ally, railroad and other stories told Of
his grandfather, and wondered always
why his grandfather had been so "ches-

Bears Were Driven Out.
From him I heard the first of the
Indiana romance" declared Mr.. War
man. He told me that he had killed
a bear once with a Barlow knife-in
Indiana, but that was as nothing with
the earlier achievement of having been
born there. OF course, in those days
bears had to be killed in Indiana, as
there was no way OF getting a bear
out. You just had to kill him in In
diana.
He was pioneer in the field of
fiction, my grandfather" continued Mr..
warman, handing II out from his own

The only difference between Mr.. War
man and Mr.. Gillian was that neither
stuck to the subject which had pre-

said that. after all, it was against ban
quet tradition to speak to the theme
assigned and to him looking back to
Indiana" was distasteful. it was not
conducive to contentment to think that
those days back in Indiana were things
of the past.
Then with true poetic license he did

in order that the workers of the dis
trict may get together and talk things
over and lay plans for the coming cam
paign. The democrats will hold one at
Huntington, for the eleventh district,
but the date has not yet been an
nounced. And then, the democrats of
the tenth always hold a Jackson day
banquet at Lafayette. on Jan. 8. Wheth
er they will do this time. however
is a question, because J. Kirby Risk
the present district chairman of the
tenth, IS not in very good standing on
account of the fact that he fought
Mayor Durgan. a democrat for re-elec-
tion at the city election this fall, and
supported the republican nominee.
Risk has always been the big man in
getting up the Jackson day affair, and
this may have some effect on the plan.
County Convention soon.
It is expected that fully one-fourth
of the counties of the state Will hold
their county conventions within the
next sixty days. Some of the counties
will make their nominations earlier
this year than usual, both parties evil
IDENTIFY going in for early nominations.
! Johnson county was the first to hold
county convention. The democrats
of that county held their convention
| two weeks ago. They renomnated L. c.
/ Clore Of Franklin for representative.
! Clore. who is known as the corn king, -
4 was a member of the last house, and
was one of the democrats that voted
against the repeal of the county local
option law. It is supposed that he
would do so again. and this being the
case. the Anti-Sa1oon league may be
said to have made the first score in the
game for the nomination of members

But Durbin is lining things UP early.
1t is said, too, that he is not only look
ing out for delegates who will be for
him for governor in 1912, but that he
is also working to elect members of the
legislature next winter who will be for
Senator Beveridge for reelection. the
theory being that If a republican Leg
islature next year re-elects Senator
Beverage, which it VIII do. Beveridge
Will be under obligations to support
him for governor. 1t does not seem
likely. however. that Senator Beveridge
will take any hand in the nomination
of a candidate for governor in case he
is reelected senator.

CANDIDACY
Of D(JRB|N
CERTAINTY
No Longer Any Doubt About
His Ambitions to Serve
His State as Governor
Col. Huffman Is Lining
Things Up.
TIMES BUREAU,
At STATE CAPITAL.


Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 13-It has at
last become known here to a certainty
that Winfield T. Durbin Of Anderson is
trimming his sails to enter the race for
the republican nomination for govern
or. It is also known that Col w. w.
Huffman Of Anderson has been going
over the northern part of the state
quietly lining UP things for Durbin, and
that another man, whose name cannot
yet be made known, has been doing the
same thing in the southern part of the
state. Durbin is acknowledged to be
one of the best organizers in Indiana
politics. and he has never been known
to fall down on any job he has under
taken.
There We're rumors for a long time
that this was the case, but Huffman
has contended all along that he was
merely looking after some insurance
business IN which he was interested,
but definite information has at last
leaked out, and It says that Huffman $
mission, while it may include the in
surance business in northern Indiana,
also includes looking after Durbin's
fences. Huffman was appointed by Dur
bin as custodian of the state house
while Durbin was governor, and last
winter he was the secretary of the
senate during the session of the legis-

lature. He is fat, jolly. good-natured
and knows the political game like a
book.
The early advent Of Durbin into the
race for governor means lot of trouble
for the rest of the candidates. Attor-
ney- General James Bingham announced
months ago that he Will be a candidate
for the nomination for governor. and
he has been cultivating the temperance
people of the state in his behalf. W. L
Taylor of this city also will be q can
didate again for the nomination. James
E. Watson, who was the nominee last
year, may or may not be candidate
again. but it is believed that he viii
go after the nomination in case he is
not nominated for congress in the sixth
district in place of Congressman Barn
ard. 1t is said that such a plan is I'M
der way in the sixth. Charles w Mil
Ter. United States district attorney, has
a good job and while he has not made
any statement on the subject, it is be-
lieved that he will not again be a can
didate for governor. Hugh TIL. Miller,
former lieutenant governor may get

People Ask why.

A good many people wonder why
Harry S New declined to take the re-
publican state craftsmanship at this
time. They point out that If he should
become state chairman and win the
fight next year he would be a big re-
publican In Indiana, for everybody adj
mits that next years contest is going
to be uncertain. And they say also,
that if he should be state chairman
and lose the fight he would still be the
biggest republican in the state. If the
democrats carry the legislature a DEM
ocrat will be elected to succeed Senator
Beveridge. This would leave Indiana
without republican senator, and in
such a case practically all of the pat
ronage in Indiana during the present
republican national administration
would be in the control of the state
chairman. The president would IN
doubtedly rely on the state chairman
to make recommendations and sugges-
tions for appointments.

Therefore. it is pointed out that the
next state chairman, whoever he may
be, will be power in the party for the
next two years at least and many per-
sons cannot understand why any man
should turn down such an opportunity.
1t was largely on this theory that for
several months former Governor Dur
bin would like to be state chairman,
for it would give him fine opportun-
ity to shape things up for the nomina-
ton for governor But since it has be-
come known that he is building guber-
Material fences only, he is counted out
of the race for state chairman. It looks
now like ]. Wood Wilson of Marion
will be the only candidate for state
chairman. and that he will be elected.
Wilson is one Of the leading republic
cans of the state and a rich man with
little else to do, and his friends be-
lieve he would make a good chairman.
Love Feast Fever Epidemic.
The love feast fever seems to have
caught hold of both parties in Indiana.
It Is practically certain that the re-
publicans Of the state will hold a love
feast in this city within a short time,
probably during the holiday week. Then
word comes from the thirteenth dis
triet that it is proposed to hold a re-

Statement DisbeIived.

The statement that Durbin is work
ing for Beveridge with this end in view
is not taken seriously, however, for all
of the republicans of the state are
working for Beveridge. The fact is,
and It is pointed out here by all repub-
Iicans. that Beveridge is sure of re-
election If the next legislature is re-
publican. Beveridge has taken stand
on the tariff question that is directly
in line with the sentiment of the state
of Indiana, and this precludes any pos
sibility of opposition to him for re-
election. All of the members of the
old Fairbanks machine are out for Bev-
eridge. with a very few exceptions, and
they are men who have a personal rea-
son for their opposition or lukewarm-
ness This makes 1t certain that Bev-
eridge win have the support of his
united party.
