lation continues to be the topic Of COM
ment in political circles in Virginia
Mr.. Ellyson this morning printed a
statement in which he says that the
money was used as a campaign fund to
secure the continued supremacy Of the
Democratic party IN Virginia, and adds
that the statement OF Mr.. Jones that It
was used for any oher purpose rs as
malignant as it is untrue"
Mr.. E. T. D. Myers, Jr., Is also out in
a card In which he says that any state
ment that his father, "either personally
or as a railway official, ever departed
one lot or little from the path Of the
II
highest integrity is false and SANDER
ous." Mr.. w. D. Duke. who was for
years confidential secretary to Mr..
Myers, has also published card in which
he saws that Mr.. Myers contributed to
the campaign expenses. He says that
anv statement that Mr.. Myers ever con-
tributed one cent, either personally or in
behalf of the R. F. & P. Railroad, for
/ ir,,ronar Tses is false.

FAIRBANKS SHOWS FEELING
FOR TAFT IN INDIANA

organization. but which includes in its
membership republicans who have fol-
lowed the various leaders. They say
that the president pointed out to them
all that there are certain principles
which are fundamentally republican,
and that these principals are what he
is standing for. and that all republic
cans should stand them. He talked
on the subject of reciprocity, which has
been republican principle for years.
and ii is pointed out that the republi-
cans of Indiana are in favor of 1t al
most to a man. Thus the visit assumed
a broad gauge and went above any
petty factionalism which might exist
There are some who believe that the
wing of the party commonly known as
the progressives were not given the
same degree of prominence in the ar
engagements for the presidents visit
that was given to the old guard, and
they express a fear that this may bring
about a bad result. But as far as can
be learned republican was ignored
or overlooked in the arrangements for
the visit. and all were treated alike.
1t so happened that some of the mem
bers of the old guard were prominent
in escorting the president about the
city. but this was not by any pre-
arranged plan.
On the whole, however. the bulk of
the comment is that the presidents
visit ought to do good for the party.
But it will take some time for this
comment to crystalize into anything
like a definite showing.
There was considerable talk among
the republicans at the banquet. especi-
ally those from out of the state. on
the subject of candidate for governor
next year. Agood many talked about
Charles A Bookwalter of this city and
much of the comment was favorable.
They recognized in him a hard fighter
and a good politician, and some of them
were of the opinion that he could be
elected II any republican could be
elected. But the man who received
most of the favorable comment was
Hugh TIL. Miller of Columbus, former
lieutenant governor. 1t is not known
whether Mr.. Miller will consent to run
for the nomination, but there were
many IN the crowd at the banquet who
expressed the opinion that Miller was
the strongest man for the nomination.
Miller has never been identified with
any element of the party. but has al
ways been on good terms and has stood
well with everybody. He is a high
grade business man. and this is one OF
the elements that has appealed to a
good many republicans in looking
about for a candidate for governor.
There was a little talk of w. T. Dur
bin and also some for w. l. Taylor OF
this city, but most of it was in favor OF
| Miller. with Bookwalter next.

Steel axles will then be added to

they ever built the mill they realized
that the time would come when there
would be a boom in the business.
Railroads are now sending in heavy

GARY SLOTS
TAKE MONEY
FROM MINORS

Evidence has been secured that sew
eral Gary poolroom and tobacco store
proprietors have been selling tobacco
and permitting minors to play slot ma
chins and it is likely that some prose-
cutions with attendant stiff fines viii
result.
Numerous complaints have been re-
ceived regarding the permitting of
minors to purchase cigarettes and other
forms of tobacco. la instance it
was found that a boy squandered most
of his earnings in the slot machines in
the Gary tobacco and pool room estab-
lishments.
The law governing offenses of this
kind is quite strict and the penalty for
the proprietors who violate II is no
small amount.

GETS AWAY
WITH WATCH
Especial to THE TIMEs.)


East Chicago. Ind, July 7.-Regina
OConnell. the daughter of Mr. and Mrs
Michael OConnell is mourning the loss
of a watch which was presented to her
by her parents at the time of her grad
uation from ST. Mary,s parochial school
three years ago.
The watch was left together with
abou 1925 in money and a handkerchief.
in a blue silk bag on a swing in the
OConnell back yard The yard has
gate communicating with Exchange
avenue. Miss O'Connell had spent part
of the evening in the yard and when
she missed her purse next day she re-
membered the swing and having placed
the purse containing 1t on the swing.
She FASTENED to lok for II, but 1t was
gone.
Inquiry developed the fact that at 3
or o'clock that morning an employee of
the Maine restaurant had seen man
enter the yard. the gate of which stood
open, and emerge with something which
looked in the dim light, like bag. He
opened this an extracted a number of
articles from its interior. which he con.
veyed 10 his pockets. The Main en-
ploye did not think much of the Incl
dent. as it all happened to quickly al
lnOuSn at HTSt ne iltu Deen suspicious
of the individual when he saw him
enter the yard.
The watch was small gold one with
star and crescent on the front and set
with five small diamonds. on the back
was the monogram R. o.. c. and inside
was inscribed from Papa and Mamma
to Regina. June 10, 1905"
! A liberal reward has been offered for
the return of the watch by the finder.

TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL.

Al SIATE 0At'tIAL.
indianapolis, Ind, July Various
brands OF comment are heard on the
visit OF President Taft to Indiana, but
all agree that the president made some
very striking and excellent speeches
while he was in this state. and that
he Is stronger now than he ever has
been before in this state. That he has
strengthened his friendships in many
cases in Indiana and that he has made
many new friends seems to be the con-
census of opinion among those who
have tried to figure out the result OF
the visit 1t is pointed out that
Charles w. Fairbanks. former vice
president, in an impromptu speech
which he made at the Marion club ban
quet Tuesday night. stated the situa-
tion clearly when he told the president
that the republicans of Indiana are be-
hind him in the great issue of his ad-
ministration, meaning. of course. reci-
procity with Canada. and that the re-
publtcans of this state will stand by
him.
This was understood by the six hun
dred men present at the banquet to
mean that it was a promise from Mr.
Fairbanks that Indiana will be for
Taft for reelection next year, and the
sentiment was cheered to the acho by
the banoueters. For long time there
has been no doubt at all that Indiana
would support Taft for re-nomina ton
next year. and the statement of Mr..
Fairbanks was only another evidence
OF this fact In a definite and positive
form. The statement appeared to please
the president. for he evidently took 1t
a sa SINGER expression of the feeling
of the republicans of Indiana. There
were present at the banquet repu Bill
cans from many of the counties of the
state. They represented all factions.
not being confined to any one element.
and everybody Joined in the applause
of the speech of Mr. Fairbanks.
President Taft left Indiana with the
assurance ringing in his ears that In
diana is for him next year.
This much was apparent as a result
of the presidents visit Another fea-
ture of the matter the real situation
in which is still in doubt Is the effect
the visit will lhave in the direction OF
harmonizing the various factions of the
party this state. Whether the visit
Will have a good effect in that direc-
ton is still a question. Differen.
opinions expressed on that point
Some are OF the opinion that the visit
of the president will bring the repub b.
lcans of the state into closer union and
that it will therefore result in much
good to the party. These men say that
the president came as the guest of the
Marion club. which Is not a factional

with blood, and that he was apparently
dead.
The -sheriff's office was at once no.
titled and Deputy Sheriff Furman was
sent out to investigate. The arrest of
four hobos followed. One suspicious
thing about the hobos was that they
all had Just $4.05 on their persons,
which would indicate that they might
have robbed the man, killed him, dis
posed of his body and then divided the
money.
Many Theories Advanced.

CINE. according to Bremen and al
though Bremen looked for blood stains
he could find none.
