that stands between them and death
now is the Governor, and there Is no
question but that he feels deeply this
situation.
There is no other portion of the
duties of a Governor that tries their
mett1e like that of determining wheth-
er they shall step in and interfere with
the Judgment of the courts In cases
like these. Dealing with the lives and
the liberty of violators of the law al
ways has stirred the deepest impulses
of Governors of Indiana.
The last Legislature passed law
abolishing hanging and substituting
electrocution as the method of infict-
ing the death penalty in this state. and
the bill made it the duty of the warden
of the state prison to inf1ict the penal
ty. But the bill failed to make any
appropriation for the purchase and in
stallation of an electric chair and other
necessary apparatus to cary out the
povisions of the new law. This omis-
sion was noticed several months ago,
but the authorities decided not to con
slider the purchase of chair unless
some Indiana person was condemned to
death. 1t had been the hope that there
would be nothing of the kind during
this administration, but already two
cases. one at Terre Haute and the other
in Lake county, have occurred in which
murderers have been condemned to die.
This has brought the Governor and
the prison authorities face to face with
the problem.
II the Governor decides to take
| money from his contingent fund and
buy the chair 1t will be taken as an
| indication that he does not intend to
/ interfere with the judgment of the
courts in these cases, but that he will
allow them to be carried into effect. IT,
on the other, hand, he declines to spend
the money for the chair at this time II
will be taken as an Indication that he
does not favor the infection of the
death penalty and that he may finally
| exercise his executive power to set
aside the decisions of the courts and
/ juries in these cases. This situation

ministration. Up to this time Governor
Ralston has expressed a hesitation tc
interfere with the courts, and some
lpersons are of the opinion that he viii
maintain this attitude. He will de

termine the question in regard to the
purchase OF the chair With nthe next
few days, he said.
Lieutenant Governor O'Neiu has
spent the $1,000 which the Legislature
last winter appropriated for the pur-
chase OF furniture for the two magnifi-
cent rooms which is set apart for his
use In the state house. He has bought
several mahogany chairs for about $50
each. a mahogany table for 5000 a
typewriter desk for $3.50, and a private
desk for $3.50. This is the finest furni-
ing that in the Governors office. And
lieutenant governor occupies his offices
possibly not more than average OF
two or three days a month.
When the members of the Panama
Pacific exposition commission met IN
his office yesterday they found this
ma gnificent furniture in place.
| The news from Huntington that the
Progressives and the Republicans were
getting together to run a Citizens
ticket at the city election has attracted
attention here, for 1t is another evil
dence of the widespread effort on the
! part of the people of the state to break
away from gang politics. 1t is said
that the only way to defeat the Demo
cratic gang ticket in Huntington is
through combination OF the good gov
eminent forces, the same as has beer
followed in other cities of the stats
this year. 1t begins to look as If gang
politics in Indiana is about to have
lot of tough shedding this year.

MRS. MARSHALL
STYLE VIEWS

Washington, Sept. 3o-That the
present styles are hideous and degrad-
ing to all womankind and that they
are an argument against votes for
women is the opinion of Mrs. Thomas
r. Marshall, wife of the vice president
Il think that the styles are being
carried to the extreme, and the women
appear to have lost their sense of pro-
priety," she said. Il am thankful to
say, however. that there is a large
class of women who will neither pur-
chase nor allow their daughters to
wear these hideous, immodest freaks
of fashion. The mothers in the homes
can control this evil to a great extent
as they can others. Until women can
correct their present form of dressing
they can not sensib1y ask for the bal
lot, for 1 certainly think that the pres
ent day dress is an argument against
votes for women"

now pending before the war depart

recommendations which summed up are
as follows:
TT points to the fact that the
river is a sewage disposal stream,
and that therefore there is no need
of improving 1t at this time.
THE people of the Calumet
region themselves have not taken
the first step toward getting fed

Blxby's report Is further divided on the
point of the width and the depth of the
stream il the Improvement should be
made. Col. linn has recomm ended a
width of two hundred feet and a depth

board of army engineers in Chicago
would satisfy the northern part OF
