TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL.


indianapolis, Ind, March 20.-There
Is a general impression in this city
among the politicians just now that
there will not be any meeting of the
republican state committee soon for the
purpose of electing a state chairman
to succeed James P. Goodrich, as was
talked of several days ago. 1t is gem
orally understood that the announce
ment was somewhat premature, and
that 1t was not authorized by anyone
in a position to call such a meeting.
Another thing about 1t that makes
it look like there Will not be a meeting
IS that Goodrich is still state chair
mand and has not sent in his resgna-
ton, neither has he said that he in
tends to resign. He has said that he
is so busy with his railroad and other
business that he will not have time to
spare to devote to politics. but there Is
little politics for him to look after and
there will not be any until 1910 when
the state campaign comes on. But who
knows what may happen within the
next year. Goodrich mar be out Of the
railroad business entirely and have
plenty of time to serve another term as
state chairman. At least said one man
who is a follower of Goodrich in poll
tics, what's the use for him to resign
now when there Is nothing to do and
1t makes no difference whether there
is chairman or not.
Dissatisfaction About Last Campaign
There was much dissatisfaction with
the management Of the last campaign
and this has given rise to the talk
that there would be a change in the
organization of the state committee
Many republicans in the state have con
tended that the organization was in the
hands of machine that was not doing
any good for the republican party, anC
many of them blamed this machine TO
/ the defeat last fall. They are saying

CAUGHT IN OWN TRAP.
for Manufacturing Evidence in
Political Cases.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. Cool.
Zavarnitsky, chief of the secret police at
Vladivostok, has been sentenced 10 four
years penal servitude and the loss of
military rights on the charge of having
manufactured evidence in political cases.
Two of the colonels subordnates were
sentenced to shorter terms OF imprison-
ment.
Details of the trial show that Zavar-
nitsky repeatedly placed bombs and il
legal literature i'll the apartments of sus-
pected persons and by this means Sc
cured convictions.
He prepared documents tending to
show that Capt. Baron Fersen. who was
at one time the Russian naval attache
at Washington and who later became
commander of the port of Vladivostok
and Gen. Plug, who commanded the
troops at Vladivostok in 1907, were con-
nected with the revolutionists and his
false evidence had much to do with the
removal of these officers. Many pOlit-
zeal prisoners will be released as a re-
suit of these revelations.
