RESULT IN INDIANA
SUITS INSURGENTS
By IOHN SNURE.

Iusurgent Senator's make no effort 20
conceal the fact that they are s-oSt!y-
pleased over the outcome OF the Re
publican state convention in Indiana
They have believed from the outset OF
the agitation with respect TO Indiana
that the result Of the convention there
would have a large bearing on other
State conventions.
Now that the In5iana Republicans
have in effect struc6 at the Payne-Al-
drich tariff law, by ignoring it in their
platform and at the same time indorsing
Senator Beveridge who voted against It,
the feeling Of the rest Of the Senators
who like Beveridge. voted against the
bill is that the action taken az Indian
apolis viii have a woe influence. Not
only IS II expected TO influence TO some
extent other State conventions, but IL
IS expected 10 have an effect on the de-
ibera1ions Of Congress
IT NAV be expected that from now on
IN the END Of the session, the insurgents
in the Senate, as well as in the House,
who voted against the tariff measure,
will be heard from in pretty plain terms
This is especially true Of the Senate.
IN that body. there is almost certain 10
be a big night before the end Of the ses-
sion over the tariff question.

Indiana.
By JAMES HAY, JR.

Announcement was made AT the White
House this afternoon that the President,
who has been considering whether he
would accept the invitation extended 20
him TO make a speech in Indianapolis on
May 3, during his forthcoming Western
trip. will probably md IL impossible 20
make any stops IN Indiana
This information was at once g upled
by the political prophets, with the action
taken by the Indiana State convention
yesterday in attacking the new tarin
law. 1t was said among the insurgents
in the Republican party that Mr.. Taft
had decided 90 keep OF OF the situation
in Indiana, and not 70 try % impress
his tariff views on that State.
BY his friends, however. II was stated
with what seemed 20 be excellent au-
thority that the President will take oc-
cas!on during his Western trip, which

What the result VIII be, is at this time
a matter OF conjecture.
There IS no indication that AIr. TAFT
-contemplates any personal attack on
Senator Beveridge, who was responsible
for the State convention attacking the
tariff law. The President Is described
as taking a broad view that this IS not
a matter OF individuals. but a subject
OF general policy. II the leaders IN In
diana go on record as fighting the tar
ih law which the party has just MADE,
then they run the risk Of hearing just
such another speech as Mr.. Taft made
al WiuOua. Wis
In the coming campaign the .regu-
lar Republicans" VIII get the aid of the
committee as they viii have the help
OF the President
II IS argued that the party derives no
good from elecunE insurgents 10 Con-
gress, and Mr.. Taft IS said 70 believe
that. If the leaders Of the insurEent
states embark on the policy OF embar-
RAISING the Administration, they deserve
no help from II.

Chief George Bodeker of the police de- partment has had prepared civil service bill to be presented to the legislature, which, if adopted, will entirely remove the police department from politics, and protect the members of the department from removal without cause.
 The terms of the bill include the chief of police as well, making his term and that of all other officers indefinite so long as he is not convicted on due trial of bad behaviour or inefficiency.
 In discussing the billnlast night Chief Bodeker said: Not until the police de- tics will a full efficiency at all times be secured. I hope the time will soon come when policeman on his beat may carry out his full duty without the fear that his political enemies can undermine him and endanger his position I have made | arrangements to have the bill introduced,
 and l believe the legislature will realize it's reasonableness and importance"
 Here it is in full:

 provide for civil service regulations for the officers and members of the police department of cities of 25,000 or more pop ulation and to regulate and prescribe the tenure and terms of office of said off cers, and members employed in said po- | lice department of said cities.
 | Be it enacted by the Legislature of Ala bama as follows:
 I Section l. That in all cities in this state | having 25,000 or more population, the po- | lice department and the officers and mem- 1 bers of said department shall be under | and governed by civil, service regulations, | and all officers and members of said po- | lice department in such cities and per sons who are employed in said depart ment, who shall be in office, and members
