GOVERNOR MARSHALL'S
CONSTITUTION KILLED
Indiana Supreme Court Holds
Changes in States Basic
Law Invalid.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 6.-The new
Indiana constitution. as drafted by Gov.
Thomas R. Marshall and adopted at the
clared unconstitutional late yesterday by
the Indiana supreme court.
The court held that the right to change
the constitution lies with the people. and
that the amendments should have been
submitted to constitutional convention
instead of the legislature.
The manner in which the amendments
we're adopted brought out adverse senti-
ment at the time. and shortly afterward
John H. Dye, acting as taxpayer, en-
tered suit in the county courts. The opin-
ion Of the lower court that the right to
alter and reform the government was at
all times a peoples right and indivesta-
BILE was upheld by the supreme bench.
Gov. Marshall refused to criticise the
action of the court. saying ito be sure
have my opinions, but il Is not proper for
me to discuss them
Surprised the State.
Although Gov. Marshall had been work.
ing for weeks on the draft and had con-
suited with a few friends, the announce
was a surprise TO the people of the state
One of the principal attacks made against

adopted at democratic caucus and made
ready for passage without general dis
cusson.
IT was strictly a party measure and re-
ceived the solid support of the democrats
in the legislature, with the exception Of
Senator stephen A. Powers, unique
figure In the upper house. The republi-
cans bitterly opposed the measure, and
used every tactic to block its passage.
At the conclusion Of the nights caucus
February Ii, 1911. the draft Of the pro-
posed constitution was given to the news
papers. Three days later the measure
was introduced. Preceding this, however,
for constitutional convention, but the
bill never was reported out OF committee.
Adopted Without Speech.
The Marshall measure went through
the house without speech.
Gov. Marshall and friends of the new
constitution declared its purpose was to
give Indiana better basic law. and that
the method used was the most expedient
for reaching the end.
To the part of the old constitution re-
tanned twenty-three amendments were
made. Among them was one to abolish
tho state appellate court. making the SUI
preme court the sole tribunal. The argu-
n1ent was made that the two courts
brought out too many conflicting deci-
sions and opinions.
Other Provisions.
Other provisions were to-
Require every voter to pay a poll tax
for two years preceding an election.

for twelve months lose his residence.

Many Delegations Busy.
In Washington those who watch DEL
egations come and go and see the ef-
forts that are continually being made
to further one cause or another say
that the campaign the little Long ls-
land woman has been carrying on Is
simply phenomenal.
The booklet on Monticello which has
been sent out by Mrs. Littleton shows
what has been done within the short
period Of time since she first made
known her lone wish" in a brochure
setting forth the object Of having Jef-
ferson's home made nation owned
memorial. The list of those who share
Mrs. Littleton's wish Is so long that
there seems to be no one of prominence
who is left out.
Mrs. Littleton first made her plea Tor
Monticello a year or so ago. Since
that time she has been increasingly en-
gagged in the work. In the latest book
let she gives a history Of Monticello
from the time it came into the pos
session of the Jefferson family down
to the present, together with an argu-
%cv. Hnr
1t is her contention that the intent
Of Uriah Levy's will, which left the
property to the nation and which was
set aside, should be carried out and
that the present owner should relin-
quish his claim on the property. What
she has accomplished in this direction
Is to have the senate pass unanimous
ly a resolution calling for concurrent
committee to inquire into the wisdom
Of purchasing Monticello. The house
committee on rules has also voted
unanimously In favor of reporting the
senate concurrent resolution and has
entered an order that the resolution
shall be considered the first week In
December.
After finding a way clear to raise
money for the purchase, Mrs. Litt!e.on
