the senate yesterday but there was
NO debate. After a short executive
session at p. m. the senate adjourn
ed Until Thursday.
Three o'clock p. m, April 8, was
the time set by the house for a vote
on the Payne trim bill. The long
expected resolution from the commit
tee on rules closing general debae,
providing for certain commit, sc
amendments and a full and free OPP
portunity to alter the lumber and
hides schedules. was reported late
in the day and adopted with 16 votes
to- spare. Notwithstanding the deser-
ton OF twenty Republicans. Four
of the sixteen votes came from the
Louisiana delegation. who likewise
broke away from their party. Pro-
viously to the adoption of the resolu-
ton there was some severe cri.i-
cism OF it from the Democratic side.
Aside from the interest which az
taehed to this proceeding was .he
speech of Mr. Clark, of Florida, who
denounced Bryan and Organism, pop
ulists and populism, and who dec ar
edtthat he would support the Payne

uehts wanted-a duty on sea island
cotton and protection for citrons,
pineapp. es, etc. HIS remarks led h IN
into an exciting colloquy with Mr..
Randall, of Texas, and other Demo-
Gratis. but he declared that having
been instructed by the legislature of
his state and his constituents as to
the stand he should take on the arti-
Giles mentioned, he would not violate
his solemn obligation to them. His
whole attitude was one Of defiance
to the Democrats of the house.
Before the bill was reported there
were numerous speeches on the bill
thole occupying the floor being
Messrs. Bartlett, Georgia; Calder

Thirty-tw counties have boarded it

half the counties of the state are now

when the saloons in the option coun-

that the wagon" will be much more

there are ten elections to be held yet
this month. Cass and Blackford will
vote early in April.
The War Goes On.
Meanwhile the war goes on. The
anti-saloon people have been going
after big game in the last few days
and as a result petitions for an election
are being signed In Knox, Delaware

loon men in Madison county are wor-

Utions will be started there at once.
Other counties are preparing petitions

saloon men in Fl Wayne and South
Bend have started reform movements.

now for the police to enforce the law
In those places. In fact, the saloon
men are insisting that the law be en-

Discharged EmpIoye of North
ern Hospital Causes
Investigation.
GOVERNOR is SKEPTIcAL
IT Is THOUGHT McGOVERRS AC-
TON THE ACT OF SPlTEFUL
MAN, BUT THE MATTER WILL
BE SIFTED DOWN..
Special Correspondent

Indianapolis, March 19.-Hugh P.
McGovern, a former employee of the
Northern Indiana hospital for the in
sane at Logansport, has filed charges
with the state authorities against the
methods used at the hospital by Super
intendent Terflinger and his assist
ants. He accuses employees Of many
offenses. DR.. Terflinger says Mccoy
ern was a trouble maker and became
SO disagreeable to the other employees
| that he was discharged. DR.. Terfling-
er says he is anxious that the matter
be sifted to the bottom and feels con-
fident If an investigation Is ordered he
will be cleared of all charges himself
as we'll as any that may be made
against any OF the employees of the in
stitutiOn. The Northern Indiana Hos
pital for the insane is the one to which
practically all of the counties in north
ern Indiana send their insane patients.
so the fact that charges have been filed
is Of interest.
Not Taken Seriously.
Superintendent Terflinger was ex-
pected to ccme to this city yesterday to
take up with the committee on insane
hospitals of the board of state chari-
ties, the matter of the charges made by
McGovern, but he did not get here.
The charges are contained in letter
that has been received at the office of
Governor Marshall. It arrived sever
al days ago, but no action has been Ia
ken on it. The letter was written in
Chicago, and Its primary purpose was
to recover pay for some shirts and col
lars, which McGovern says were stolen
from him while he was at the hospital,
but he also inserted the charges
against the management of the institu-
ton. A letter containing the charges
and signed by McGovern, has been sent
to Logansport. At the office of the
governor little weight was attached
to the charges, some of which were OF
the sensational order
1t is not known whether anything
will be done toward making an inves-
tigation. Amos Butler. secretary of
the board of state charities. is out OF
the city, as also IS Rev. F. H. Gavisk,
chairman of the committee on insane
hospitals. and nothing will be done
At least, until they return.

When National Body Con-
venes in December, Poll
cies of Taft and AIdrich Are
To Be in Conflict.
CURRENCY REFORM IS
IMPORTANT MEASURE
This Is the Idol of the Boss of
The Senate and He Will
Fight Hard for Ship
Subsidies.

61st congress convenes next Deem
Der it is going to be for one of the
most important sessions ever held.
President Taft's program foE inter-
state commerce and antitrust ieglsla-
ton is going to battle for peremount-
cy with the Aldrich commissions plan
for currency reform and ship sub
sides will hang on the flanks of both.
1t remains to be seen. OF course,
what sort of reception congress will
accord the Taft interstate commerce
and antitrust recommendations. A
good many of the most influential re-
publican leaders in congress do not
believe there should for the present
be sany further legislation of this
character and the president will have
to be very convincing in his argu-
ments il their minds are changed.
The currency bill could be SO handled
In the senate as to afford very ef-
fective obstacle to antitrust legisla-
ton, but Senator Aldrich is too deeply
interested in the passage of the cur
rency bill to allow it to be extensive
ly used for this purpose. He wants
1t enacted into law as the browning
achievement of his long career in
congress, and he isn't going to con-
sent that it be permanently convert
ed into a buffer.
For Ship Subsidy.
Advocates of ship subsidies are con-
fident they will win their fight dur
ing the life of the present congress.
1t is true they were confident they
would win in the Goth congress and
didn't, but their defeat was by the
of margins. They claim to
be sufficiently stronger in the pres
ent house to put through the meas
ure, but that Is something which can
only be demonstrated by a test. If
they can get it through the house they
will have no difficulty in the senate,
the senate having been a ship subsidy
body ever since the late Senator Han
ma backed the original measure.
Statehood Question.
Statehood for Arizona and New
Mexico is practically assured at the
next session. The method by which
passage of the statehood bill was pre-
vented at the last session smacked
very much of a trick, and the same
trick is not likely to work twice. The
statehood bill can be put through the
house in an hour, and as there is no
set day upon which the next session
must adjourn the bill can be forced
to a vote in the senate. Once vote
is allowed separate statehood for the
two territories is assured.
Congress 10 Cautious.
There isn't going to be as much
"chestiness" at the coming long SEES
sion of congress as it wont. The con-
gressional elections take place a year
from next November and the majority
will not be easy in it's mind until it is

known how the forthcoming tariff bill
is going to affect the results. The
tariff changes are certain to lose the
republican party more or less votes,
and the leaders are not going to do
else they can avoid doing
which would drive voters from the
ranks.
