INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. L.
Judge A. B. Anderson, in the United
States court for the Indiana district,
today overruled the demurrer OF TWEEN
ty-seven defendants to the indict-
ment charging conspiracy to corrupt
the Terre Haute elections. The jurfs-

man of the Vigo circuit court, and
Sheriff Dennis shea are most prornin-
ent among those who will fight the
case. with them are most Of the
Terre Haute official family. The In
dictment was upheld in every particle.
Following the decision the twenty
seven who demurred, pleaded not
guilty. The cases Of the lis defend
ants were set for trial March 8.
Jduge Anderson held that the right
to vote for United States senator and
for the district representative In con-
gress is a right secured by the consti-
tuition and the laws OF the United
States and the right to serve on boards
at such elections also Is constitu-
tfonal right The first count OF the
Indictment, he said, was based on that
theory.
The first count charged q conspiracy
existed to prevent qualified voters
from sitting on election boards anu
from voting for the congressman. The
court upheld the theory that a con
spiracy to violate the state laws adopt
ed by the United States for the ele"-
ton Of United States se'ators Is an
offense against the United States.

The Heart of the Tree.


Poem read by Miss Howell at the
Civic league 1uncheon.l
What does he plant who plants tree!
He plants the friend OF sun and sky;
He plants the flag of breezes free,
The shaft OF beauty towering high;
He plants a home to heaven a nigh,
For song and mother-croon of birds
In hushed and happy twilight heard
The treble of heavens harmony
These things he plants who plants a
tree.
What does he plant who plants a tree?
He plants cool shade and tender rain.
And seed and bud of days to be,
And years that fade and flush again.
He plants the glory of the plain,
He plants the forests heritage;
The harvest of a coming age;
The Joy that unborn eyes shall see
These things he plants
Who plants a tree.
What does he plant who plants tree
He plants in sap and leaf and wood,
In love of home and loyalty.
And far cast thought Of civic good
His blessing on the neighborhood,
Who In the hollow Of His hand
Holds all the growth OF all our land
A nations growth from sea to sea,
Stirs in his heart who plants a tree

TEXAS INVESTOR

NEAR ELLAV|LLE
READ ADVERTISEMENT THIS
WEEK IN TIMES-REC0RDER

When it comes to producing the
goods, in beneficial results, The
Times-Recorder maintains its place in
the front ranks as an advertising me-
dunn as hundreds of pleased patrons
will cheerfully attest Whether it be
merchandise, lands or lost, strayed
or stolen,' the effect is the same, and
the advertiser gets the results.
There is one instance wherein a
Ibereft widower advertised in The
Times-Recorder for some dame to fill
the vacancy in his heart and at the
kitchen range. He actually received
800 replies, and in week was eating
hot biscuit at the same old stand.
And another instance, rejecting re-
suits. developed today.
Four or five days ago Mr.. T. NJ.
Furlow advertised for sale in The
Times-R Recorder a lot of 202 acres of
land several miles from Americas. He
has had numerous offers for it, as it
is good land and capital investment
at the price This morning Mr.. Fur
low received the following telegram
from Texas town:
will take the land you advertised
in Americas Times Recorder. Am
mailing check for amount. Please send
me the deed"
Within less than a week following
the appearance of the advertisement
a Texan, nearly a thousand miles
away, had read the land offer. He
knew the value of Georgia land and
lost no time in wiring here to close the
deal. He will probably get it all right,
and, like hundreds of others, will ap-
preciate the value of advertising.
Several days ago the Times-Recorder
published the story of the extension of
the Byromville railway into Sumter
county. Three days thereafter mes
