HAS RECOVERED.

The management Of the ChautauQua
association has requested that the
board of works meet in conference
board, five members of, respectively,
the Y. M. c. A., Commercial club and
city council, Saturday, October I, in
order to investigate the alleged dam
age done to the part of Glen Miller
where the chautauqua was held.
Written requests of that nature have
been sent to both council and the
board. and the other organizations
will soon be notified. It is probable
all the invitations will be accepted.
The matter has not been formally
acted on by the board of works, but
the board at its meeting Thursday will
take action. The board intended to
meet this morning, but because of the
small amount Of official business to
be transacted the meeting was called
off,
President Hammond, Of the board,
while wishing to make the investiga-
ton, says the proper time to do SO is
this week. He says there is no use
waiting until the park has had time to
recover from the effects of the camp.
The board may ask the chautauqua as
sociation to hold the investigation
sooner than the first of October.
Park Superintendent Ed. Hollern Is
very anxious that the different organi-
cations of the city come to the park
and note the damage. which he claims
growth In Glen Miller. Many OF the
city officials oppose the chautauqua, as
it has been held in the past, claiming
that . public park is not the place for
q money-making venture.

DECLINED TO ENTER A

Decided to Have Court Try

Prison Hospital.

"Yes, shot him.. nonchalantly re-
piled George Dunlap. a resident Of the
county Jail since August 16. in the
circuit on Tuesday morning when
asked whether he was guilty or hot
guilty of shooting with intent to muir
der DIR. Harrison Gable of Centerville.
a fellow citizen. "Jude, I don't care
II they hang me; want to prove what
kind of people those are" he said.
He referred to DR.. Gable and his other
imaginary enemies.
A hasty conference of the attor-
neys and the court was held In which
1t was decided to waive right for a
jury trial in the case. but instead to
submit it to Judge Fox in the after
noon. Dunlap told the court and his
attorneys that he did not want to use
insanity for his defense. He retains
the same attitude which he displayed
on the day of his arrest following the
shooting and he only seemed dissatis-
ned that he is not being tried for a
more serious crime. Absolutely no re-
morse Is displayed.
For Criminal insane.
At the 1909 session Of the Indiana
legislature an act was passed provid-
ing for the construction Of hospital for
the criminal insane. who are sent to
Michigan City. The law leaves 1t to
the court or Jury trying a criminal to
determine whether or not he is insane.
although the criminal may not plead
insanity ~ q defense. and in case he
Is found insane it is within the power
of the jury or court to commit the
prisoner to this hospital. The hospi-
tai is not completed. but the prison
authorities are accepting criminal in
sane.
The court may find Dunlap insane.
Dunlap admits the act. but his only
purpose in doing SO. it appears. was
the opportunity to state the cause for
the act.
Those who are acquainted with him
are divided in their opinion as to his
sanity. Some say that he is periodi.
cally crazy mad.
The jury had assembled this fore.
noon, also about so witnesses from
Centerville, but all were excused fol-
lowing the agreement Of counsel for
both sides to submit the matter to the
court. Among the witnesses was DR..
Harrison Gable, who has entirely re.
covered from the wound. He expected
to testify, although DR.. Gable holds no
malice towards his assailant, believing

Of the Commercial club. who was espe-
cially active In securing the cheap

The matter has been In litigation
more than three years. and was at first
brought to the notice of the CONNER
cial club. when the Pennsylvania was
very despotic in its treatment OF the

An Unjust Ruling.
Officials of the "Pennsy" refused to
make any interchange unless the point
from which the car came or was con
signed to was served exclusively by
tho c.. c. 4 L. This monopolized bus
mess for the Pennsylvania in all the
large towns and the business OF the
smaller ones was not worth much.

will be interchanged to and from any
point on the c. & o. to the Pennsyl
vania, and to and from the Pennsyl

Herald's ability to select candidates
for the people. we fear the people will
insist upon selecting their own.
The Herald gives us an illustration
OF it's views. by putting a case that
is not at all parallel. Suppose, it
says, that the Louisiana lottery were
an issue, and the republican party
were committed to the lottery. would
it be incumbent 20 vote for the re-
publican party? This is one Of the
Herald's pet ways OF putting a prop
osition essentially ridiculous and then
owlishly saying, Answer that one If
you CAM" Now we will put prop
osition to the Herald Suppose North
Dakota stood for Roosevelt as a can
didate for president at presidential
convention, and some other candidate
was selected y majority of two
thirds Of the delegates from all parts
of the United States. Would the re-
publicans of North Dakota be absolyed
from voting for the republican candi-
date, or would it be their duty to do
as loyal republicans have done since
the formation OF the republican party
stand by the ticket selected by the
majority of their party. and trust to
the wisdom and patriotism of that ma
jority to see that the republican ticket
made good?
The Herald's counsel of knitting ev-
cry candidate who does not happen to
suit the individual would give US a
system of political bushwhackery, buc-
canneering. trading and piracy. If the
stalwart voters at the coming election
knitted every insurgent candidate and
the insurgent voters knitted every stall
wart candidate. the result would be
democracy, party wreckage and chaos.
And this is the policy which news
paper claiming to be a leader of re-
publican thought and republican coun.
sells is openly advocating, and seeking
to defend!

COAL eRiQUETTlNG IN THE
UNITED STATES.

According to bulletin of the U. S
geological survey, more briquets were
made in 1909 than in any preceding
year. Sixteen briquetting plants were
in operation, but five of them were
only working experinentally and two
of these were making briquets from
peat. The total product in 1909 was
1861 short tons, valued at $452,697
an increase over the output of 1905
of 49,3O3 tons, or more than 81 pei
cent, in quantity, and of $129,64O, OF
40 per cent, in value.
This output is insignificant compar'
ed with that of Germany, where 49,
O00, 900 tons of briquets are made every
year, but Is shows that the briquet in
dustry is at last getting started in the
United States. The conditions in Ger
many, however, are very favorable to
the success of the industry. Labor is
cheaper. coal is dearer, and the waste.
full beehive" coke oven is unknown,
for coal is cooked in retort ovens sup
piled with by-product recovery equip
ment. which yields large output of
coal-tar pitch that is available for use
as binding material for making bril-
quets.
In the United States the briquet in
dustry is held back by the large sup.
ply of cheap natural fuel, by the high
cost OF labor, and by attempts to ex.
plot secret processes for which ex-
travagant claims are made but which
have failed to make good. The ma
terial available for briquet making is
abundant, consisting of anthracite
culm, slack coal unavailable for cox
ing, Ignite. coke breeze and peat; and
with the increase in the use of by
product recovery coke-making pro-
cesses and the mining out of the more
accessible high-grade Goals, the briquet
industry must surely find alarger mar
ket and make a greater output.
The geological survey has just pub
lished a report on coal briquetting in
the United States in 1909, by Edward
w. Parker. which may be obtained by
applying to the director of the survey
at Washington. The report forms an
advance chapter of the surveys al
nual volume, Mineral Resources of
the United States" for the calendar
year 1909.
