indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 21.-Gover-
nor Marshall has had to cancel two
speaking engagements for this week on
account OF his health. He had prom
Used to speak at the annual meeting of
the County Commissioners association
at Terre Haute on Wednesday and at
the national convention of the tax
league at Louisville, next Friday, but
both dates have been called off.
Governor Marshall is not down sick,
but his physician, DR.. Paige advised
him yesterday, that he is suffering
from hay fever and bronchitis and that
for this reason he ought not to try to
make any speeches until after frost
comes. The governor is at his office
as usual, though suffering the agony
that goes with hay fever, and he will
go to Terre Haute and mingle with the
county commissioners from over the
state tomorrow, but he will not make
any speech to them. He will not go
to Louisville at all.
May Prevent Speeches.
1t is likely that the hay fever and
bronchitis will prevent the governor
from making speeches at several places
where he has accepted invitations to
speak before frost can reasonably be
expected But he is determined to fill
all of the engagements that he possibly
can. One of his important speeches
is to be made before the Sunday Even
ing club in Chicago, and another is the
one he has promised to make at the
Fall Festival at Richmond, but the lat
ter does not take place until In Octo-
Der, and it is believed he will be all
right by that time.
The governor has made q mighty hit
with his letter declining to make the
trip to New Orleans. He said in his
letter Of declination that inasmuch as
no arrangements were made for the
wives of the accompanying governors
to 70 with them on the steamboat from
st. Louis to New Orleans, and as Mrs.
Marshall had been with him in all of
his campaign, his constant companion.
he did not care to go without her. He
intimated in the letter that he would
rather be with her than with the pres
ident and bunch OF governors. This
bit Of domestic sentiment has percolat-
ed through the entire country and has
reached New York. Yesterday Cover
nor Marshall received telegram from
Joe Weber, formerly of the comedy
firm of Weber and Field. in which
Weber congratulated him on his letter.
Weber, In the telegram, offered the
governor a box at English's theater
for his show, the Crisis, which is at
this theater this week, and the COVER
nor has accepted.
Regarding Parole.
A few days ago the governor had un-
der consideration the case OF a man
who had violated his parole. It WIS
based on a letter which he received
from an undertaken, In which 1t was
stated that the man had broken into
the undertaker's establishment and
stolen something. For this reason
he said, the man ought to be returned
to the prison. The governor wrote
back to the undertaken and told him
he did not see that this made much
difference.
"As far as the crime is concerned
he wrote, II do not think it is in /:
with the crime of man who buys q
coffin for eight dollars and sells it t.
a poor man for eighty dollars"
That was the last heard of the COM
plant from the undertaken.
The governor has come out strong
against the proposed improvement OF
inland waterways. He gave out an
interview yesterday in which he says
that the people should go slow In this
