DEMOCRATS OF
INDIANA AT WAR
OPPOSITION TO TAGGART FOR
SENATE CAUSES BAD BREAK
AT CONVENTION.

indianapolis, April 27.-With the
hope of a reconciliation of the oppos-
ing factions on the question Of endors-
ing candidate for the United States
senate, party leaders today are striv-
ing to reach compromise and to pre-
vent a fight being carried into the
Democratic convention which opens
Tonight GsoverssIs marshall In yc.e,
the convention endorsing the candi-
date, while Taggart is for statewide
primary to select the candidate. The
delegates seem to favor defeating both
propositions and leaving the matter to
the legislative caucus.
Efforts to bring harmony between
the opposing forces Of the Democratic
convention over the endorsement Of s
candidate for senator have SO far fail
cd and it seems the proposition must
be fought out on the floor o. the con-
vention tonight.
John E. Lamb of Terre Haute, vice
chairman Of the Democratic commit
tee, denounced as "boss," Thomas
Taggart, former chairman Of the ma
tional committee, and declared that
the convention should not "be Tag
gart Christmas tree" Both Lamb and
Taggart are candidates for the noni-
nation to the senate. Lamb wants the
convention to endorse a candidate.
He is supported by Governor Mar
shall. Taggart proposes the primary
methods.
Lambs speech was made upon the
arrival of a large delegation from the
Fifth congressional district.
Many leaders looked to Senator B.
F. Shively. who arrived from Wash
ington and who will be permanent
chairman of the convention to bring
about harmony. Shively said he was
opposed to both plans and prefers that
the matter go to the legislature direct,
but as compromise favors calling a
separate state convention.

WOMAN'S TRIAL
is DEL AYED
DR.. GUTHRIE, ACCUSED OF DYNA-
MITING, STILL IN JAIL At
NEWTON.

:. Newton, April 27.-County Attorney
Malmberg has prepared formal infor.
nation charging DR.. Mary Guthrie with
dynamiting the home Of G. A. Quick,
near Prairie City Saturday night, v4th
the object, It is believed, of taking the
lives or DR.. Alexander Hall and his
young wife, who is a daughter of
Quick. The papers were forwarded to
the town marshal of Prairie City, who
will sign them and file with Mayor
Hayes.
Dr.. Guthrie is still in the county jail
here, and her preliminary hearing will
not occur until Friday or Saturday.
owing to the fact that the county at
torney Is engaged in another case in
the district court.
Though th~ prisoner continues to
persistently den, all knowledge Of the
crime, it is believed that her defense
when the time for trial comes will be
insanity.
Since being lodged in Jail here she
has repeatedly denied that she and DR..
Hall ever were sweethearts, insisting
that there was nothing more than
casual acquaintance between them
when both were in the magnetic heal
ing school at Nevada, Mo. She says
she met him at Prairie City Sunday
morning for the first time in more
than, three years.
She refuses to give any information
Regarding her Immediate family, ex-
planning that she doesn't want them
to know of her trouble, but has con-
sented to have some other relatives
notified.
The maximum penalty for the crime
with which she is charged is twenty
five years in prison.

flight. It was very short one and the
aeronaut, Emile Dubonnet, had mar
row escape from injury.
Colonel Roosevelt journed to Is
sey-les-Molineaux as the guest Of the
Academy Of Sports. There large
crowd had gathered, including cabinet
ministers and noted aviators. Unfortu-
nately a strong wind was blowing and
it seemed as If the promised fight
would have to be abandoned. Not
wishing to disappoint Colonel Roose-
velt, Dubonne volunteered to go in the
face of the gale. He had recently made
a sensational flight over the city Of
Paris, and it was thought If any one
could give good account OF himself
that man was Dubonnet. a5
The ex-president was deeply inter
ested in every detail of the start, and
he pressed forward IS as 4; the machine
tleft the ground. 1t was evident, how
ever, that this was no day for flying,
and the aeroplane had hardly gone
$50 yards when it came down with a
swoop, almost capsizing as it struck
ken, but Dubonnet was not hurt. Col
onel Roosevelt rushed forward and Of
fered him his hearty congratulations.
Given Medal Of Society.
THE aeroplane sheds were then Wis
tied and Count de Lambert and Hart
0. Berg, European manager for the

bert planned to make flight, but the
wind had increased to such violence
that it was found impossible. Prior to
his return to Paris M. de Villeneuve,
president Of the Academy of Sports,
presented to Colonel Roosevelt, as
honorary president, the academy's gold
medal.
