indianapolis. Ind. Aug. a2-There is
likely to be a scramble among demo-
Gratis for his place on the democratic
state ticket in case Robert ]. Alley
decides to accept the presidency Of
the university Of Maine. which was
rendered to him last Saturday by the
board of trustees OF that institution.
Alley is now the state superintendent
Of public instruction. elected in 1908,
and he has been renominated for the
Office this year.
Mr.. Alley Is in the east and it was
while he was attending the recent
convention of the National Education
association at Boston that the posi-
ton was first offered him. Whether
he will accept Is not known, but 1t IL
believed that he will. as he does not
care for the political game and pre-
fers the life of the educator instead.
The first that was known here in
regard to the offer was on Saturday
when a telegram came from Port
land telling about it. Immediately
the gossips got busy and the demo.
cratic wire pullers began pulling. In
teresting possibilities presented them
selves. In case Alley should accept
the offer and retire from the state
ticket 1t would be up to the demo
cratic state committee to put some
man on in his place. Several names
were talked of at once. Among then,
were those of Elmer G. Bunnell. the
deputy state superintendent Of pub
lie instruction. who has been with
Alley ever since he took once; s. L
Scott, former superintendent OF the
Floyd county schools: Hervey Worries
Of this city. and Charles Greathouse
also OF this city. but formerly OF Mt
Vernon. Greathouse was the NOMINEES
for the Office a few years ago. There
will probably be others whose names
will be mentioned as possibilities also
Worries and Scott were candidates
for the Office two years ago when Alley
was nominated, but Alley walked away
with the prize. He was we'll known
throughout the state by reason of the
fact that he was professor Of matthew
atics at Indiana university and editor
of the Educator-Journal. published II
this city. At the election he was Sc
lected over Lawrence McTurnan, the
republican candidate by the narrow
margin of 762 votes. He and Gov
ernor Marshall and Lieutenant Gov
ernor Hall were the only democrats or
the state ticket that were elected
in 1908.
Bunnell formerly was county super
intendent of schools in LaPorte coun
ty. When the news of the offer Il
Alley came Saturday night Bunnol
said he did not know anything abou,
Alleys plans, and he declined. to sa,
whether he would ask for the plac.

Crimes Of Violence.

From the Hartford Times.
There is good authority for the opin.
ion that crimes Of violence are in.
creasing in this country. and too Of

tempts are made to explain the fact
Out Of all the explanations that which
seems most nearly to answer in the
mater finds the real trouble in the
fact that crimes of violence are not
punished will, certainty and prompt
ness by the law. The machinery in.
tended to shield the innocent protects
the guilty. The criminal is made the
center Of attraction. A year elapses
before he is found to be guilty, then
comes new trial granted on techni
calities.

Miss Katherine ElkinS Nav
Become the Queen of Greece

Rome. Aug. 22.-Katherine Elkins,
daughter Of the senator for West vir.
ginia. stands closer to a throne today
than ever did another American wom-
an, with the possible exception OF
Betsy Patterson OF Baltimore. who
married Jerome Bonaparte Napol
cons iron will robbed this American
woman of the distinction Of sharing
a throne, for her husband. after their
separation, became King of West
phalia.
With Miss Elkins the way seems
easy. The strong opposition on the
part of the Italian royal family to her
marriage with the Duke of the Abruz-
Il has been successfully overcome,
due chiefly to the Dukes devotion to
the handsome Miss Elkins, and their
open courtship has been resumed At
Vichy. where daily they are seen to-
gether.
Now comes from the great politi-
cal powers of Europe the secret of the
withdrawal of the objections by Ital-
Ian royalty to the marriage of the
cousin of the King to an American
girl The Duke OF the Abruzzi is a
possible successor to the throne of
Italy. He was willing to renounce his
right of succession in order to marry
Miss Elkins. but it is understood that
Miss Elkins would not hear of such
action. But since then. in fact in the
last two weeks. 1t has become very

Opening Of the Legislature.

The Virginia Legislature met in regu-
lar session at Richmond on yesterday.
The Democrats organized by electing
Edward Echols, of Staunton, president
pro tenn of the Senate, and Richard E.
Byrd, of Winchester, Speaker of the
House of Delegates.
Joint caucus nominations for United
States Senator, member of the Supreme
Court of Appeals and for other State
officers, will be held tonight. The nom
inee for the Senatorship referred to will
be John W. Daniel. and the choice for
the Supreme Court will be Judge Card
well, the incumbent.
The Republicans selected Senator J..
C. Noel, of Lee. as their floor leader in
the upper house, and C. S. Pendleton,
of Scott, as leader in the House of Del
egates. 1t was decided by the Republi-
cans to make no nominations for the DO
sitions to be filled at this session of the
Legislature, unless it be for the United
States Senstorship, in which event, it is
believed, complimentary vote will be
cast for Congressman c. b. Slemp.
A proposal by Senator Charles Gra-
watt, giving the Republicans represen-
tation ON the Fin ance and Rules CON-
mites, was defeated after a spirited
fight.
Speaker Byrd went on record as fa-
voring the subornation of local assessors
and commissioners of the revenue to q
central authority representing the whole
State. This seems to indicate that the
matter of tax equalization will be first
in Importance to come before the Gen.
eral Assembly.

TRAPPED IN HIS TUNNEL.
Man Who WOuId Have Bored Into Bank
Vault Comes 10 Grief.

New York, Jan. 8.-A true case of
man crawling into his hole and pulling
the hole in after him was brought to
light in this city today. Isaac Finkel-
stein, the turnover of Ludlow street,
was found trapped in his tunnel late
this afternoon like rabbit in her war
rem.
Nothing more miserably futile and
hopeless was ever seen. There he lay
under the middle of the street, a crush
ed, miry semblance of man, his face
in the dirt, his hands stretched out be-
fore him, pointing toward the unattain-
able millions in the vaults of the East
Side branch of the Fourteenth Street
Bank, and the diamonds in the window
of the jewelry shop next door.
His wife and five children saw the
first stroke of the pick that uncovered
his shoes. They had been watching the
sappers in the trench all night and all
day. Sarah, the eldest child, was hard
eyed and defiant. "My papa was an
honest man." she said, dOggedly. "He
does not dig for anything. He went
down into the cellar and fell into this
hole"
Her mother, not less loyal, but wiser,
rocked to and fro, weeping silently,
and would neither be comforted nor ask
help.
Finkelstein knew nothing whatever
about driving tunnels. He had only the
rudest tools, no timber to shore up tho
roofs and walls of his burrow, no bur-
glars kit to bore through the concrete
and steel walls of the bank vaults, no
adequate idea of the elaborate precau-
tions constantly on watch inside those
walls against him, no revolver for the
ever possible crisis-uothing but his
guilty dream. And the dream collapsed.
That is all there is to Finkelstein and
his terrifying tunnel. 1t would be ludi-
crous if it were not so pitiful.
Finkelstein was q patron of the East
Side Moving Picture Theatres, and
many and many a successful bank rob-
berry he had seen flashed briefly on the
white sheet by the calcium light. These
things may have worked on the imagi
nation of the easy-going, impecunious
painter, with five children to support.
If they did, he must have thought OF
them every time he looked out of his
garret window, for behind him, on th'
dead wall of the bank, fiared the le
gend: Deposits $4,000 O0O," and BY
craning his neck a little he could SCI
the diamonds of zirinsky, the jeweler
burning in the window Of the brilliantl.
lighted shop.
But nobody knows what Finkelsteil

The PaTSOnS-SaunderS Contest.

The first gun IN the contested election
case of John M. Parsous against E. w.
Saunders, from the Fifth Congressional
District of Virginia, was fred in the
House of Representatives on Tuesday
when the subcommittee of the House
met and heard preliminary arguments.
At the opening of the case, Representa-
tive Miller, of Kansas, who is chairman
of the committee, asked whether or not
1t was the wish of the parties interested
to have the hearing rushed to a conclu-
sion or to hear the arguments from
time to time. 1t was agreed that an
adjournment should be taken until Mon
day next, at which time Mr.. Parsons.
through his attorney, ex-senator Thurs
ton, of Nebraska, will take the initia-
tive in the fight and endeaYor to show
that he, and not Saunders, is entitled TO
the seat in question.

thought, unless it be Isidor Garbus, his
brother-in-law, who is detained as a
witness, though there is no proof that
he had guilty knowledge of the tunnel
Garbus it was who informed the po-
lice of the disappearance of Finkelstein,
who was last seen in the basement of
the tenement house where they lived.
and where he had supposedly gone to
gather fire-wood. He did not return,
and under the wood pile Garbus found a
mound Of fresh earth. After a few
minutes digging the police uncovered a
sharply defined aperture in the cellar
wall, about three feet across and pitch
ing downward under the street. Into
this building inspector crawled, but
came out in hurry when he bumped
into what seemed to be a collapse of
earth and powders. Fearful of further
exploration from the cellar, the inspec-
tors began to dig down from the street.
At point beyond the cavern fork in
the tunnel was found, one branch head
ing for the bank vaults and the other
for the jewelry shop. Finkelstein was
found his with body partially covered by
the cavern.

Date of Inauguration.

The passing Of the historic fourth of
March as Presidential Inauguration
date and the fixing of the fourth Thurs
day of April in its place, is provided for
in resolution ordered favorably re-
ported by the Committee on the Judici-
ary of the House of Representatives on
Tuesday The resolution, action on
which was unanimous, directs that here
after the terms of the President, Vice
President, United States Senators and
Representatives in Congress shall begin
on the final Thursday of April
This action of the committee follows
a general outcry against the holding of
Inauguration ceremonies in Washington
at time when inclement weather has
been the rule and when blizzard that
shut off all communication with the out
side world for time marked the last
Inauguration.
