DEMOCRATS
ASSEMBLING
IN INDIANA

Indianapolis, Ind, April 25.-
Democrats from all parts of Indiana
are coming to indianapolis today, in
anticipation of the Democratic state
convention which will meet Thurs.
day. The belief that the convention
will witness a test of strength be-
tween Thomas Taggart, ex-chalr-
man of the democratic national COM
mittee, and Governor Thomas r.
Marshall, has aroused keen interest
in the event. The governor is push
ing his proposition to have the state
convention name a candidate for the
United States senate to oppose SEN
ator Beveridge endorsed recently by
the republicans.
Thomas Taggart has announced
that he will be a candidate for the
senate and that he win go before
the convention in case Marshalls
plan carries. Many here believe this
indicates that Taggart believes he
has the governors plan sidetraeked,
Taggart has made counter prOpo
sal which is arousing interest today,
He suggests that after the state
election in November II the demo-
Gratis carry the legislature special
primary election be held to nominate
senator,
In this way, Taggart declares, the
personal element would not be in
iected into the TALL campaign and
the issue could be fought ont on the
party platforms.
John z. Lamb, himself a figure IN
national politics, and openly seeking
the senatorial nomination, is already
on the ground. He supports Mar
shall's plan and is doing all he can
20 secure It's adoption 1t is eX-
pected that there win be some lively
sessions before the convention ad-
iourns.

SUGAR IMPORTATIONS


San Francisco, April 25.-The
federal grand jury is scheduled to
convene late this afternoon under
the direction of Special Prosecutor
Knapp, from the United States attor-
ney-generals office, for the purpose
of investigating sugar importations
into the port of San Francisco.
1t is understood that subpoenas
have been issued for prominent local
financiers, officials of the steamship,
railroad lines and several sugar COM
panies to appear before the inquisi-
torial body.
1t is rumored that Knapp wishes
to ascertain especially whether the
various companies have any secret
working agreements. Knapp, with
his assistants, has been investigating
for some time, and the fact that he
has seen fit to have the grand jury
convene, is taken to indicate that
there is at least suspicion of sugar

Kansas City, April 25-Judge
Latshaw has indicated that he re-
CARDS the death of Moss Hunton,
Colonel Swope and Chrisman Swope,
and. the typhoid fever of other mem
bers of the family a chain of circum-
stances all bearing upon the trial of
DR.. Bennett Clark Hyde for murder
Counsel for the defense strenuously
opposes the courts attitude. They
claim that it precludes the possibility
of fair trial, and, with certainty
forecasts conviction.
Hyde is on trial on an indictment
for poisoning Colonel Swope.
The state claims this and the 9TH
er deaths, and the typhus epidemic,
were the results of one connected
plot. 1t seeks to prove all as show
ing one motive. If the court rules
they were connected that will be
strong argument that plot existed.
The existence of a plot necessarily
involves guilt.
DR.. Hyde's lawyers accuse the
state of using the dark tricks of the
mysterious profession of expert tes-
timony' to prove Colonel Swope died
of poison. Their detectives report
that DR.. Hektoen and Professor
Haiues have been poisoning frogs,
rabli4s and guinea pigs in Chicago
to show that Colonel Swope died Of
cyanide and strychnine. The meth
ods alleged are chromatic and psy-

This business of taking money To put

Chicago, who was hung for killing sew

At first Billek only intended to graft.

he used poison.

It's easy enough, after fortune tel
Ter has got the confidence OF a per-
son, to induce that person TO turn all
his money over TO the fortune teller
for investment.
The only thing don't like about
the city I'm in is that the newspapers
there don't take the advertisements
OF fortune tellers. It's a principle OF
fortune telling that. up TO certain
limit, he gets in $40 for every dollar
he spends in newspaper advertising
The newspapers seem to be getting
wise In recent years to the fact that
fortune telling is a graft.
Most of the cities allow fortune tell
ers to work, and grant them license.
In lots OF cities the police graft on the
fortune tellers. A fortune teller in
New York told me how the police
work 1t there. AS soon as they sc
new shingle out a detective goes
to the new fortune teller and de-
mands $40 Pretty soon another de
tective comes around and gets anoth
err $40. If the business pays, third
detective will come around for his bit
The first detective to find the place
gets a bonus from the other detectives
who graft on the fortune teller. It's
called his plant They never ask too
much, because they don't want TO kill
the business. In this way. instead Of
stopping the fortune telling business,
the police keep IT alive.

You'd be surprised to know how
foolish people are when they get in
the clutches of a fortune teller.
Sometimes Belle and | have a little
fun between ourselves by telling one
OF our customers to do something
ridiculous. We've told fat woman
who wanted n certain man to love her
TO go home and stand on her head on
her bed as long as she could. The
next day she would come and tell us
that she had followed orders. Or
sometimes I'd write out a lot OF fool
ish nonsense and tell woman 10
learn il by heart The next day she
would be around with her lesson all
learned and We would make her stand
in the middle of the floor and repeat
il TO us, while we made mysterious
signs with our hands.
II takes a lot OF control TO keep from
laughing at the time, but We always
get good laugh out of these things
afterwards.
The girls I'm the underworld pay lots
o. money TO fortune tellers. Folks
think these women cant love. I've
heard thousands of love stories, first
hand, in the years I've been fortune
teller. and want TO say that these
women are the ones who love the
hardest and the most sincerely OF all
who come 10 us Almost every one
of them has some man that she loves
and wants, and it's nothing for one OF
them TO pay out $25 a week OF her
earnings TO fortune teller just so the
fortune teller will make some man she
really loves come around to see heI
once a week or speak pleasantly to heI
on the street Some fortune tellers
will take the $25 a week-thats, a
standard price in cases of the kind
and then tell the fellow the girl loves
TO go around and see her now and
then. He'll probably pay the fellow
$40 week to make the visits. That's
only one of the dirty tricks OF fortune
telling.
Fortune tellers also make money by
selling love powders" blessed vio-
lets" and charms" that are supposed
to bring back lost sweethearts OF to
