TIMES BUREAU
AT STATE CAPITOL.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND. Jan. s.
What is regarded here as being the
most business-ltke message delivered
by a governor to the Indiana legisla-
tureN in many years, was the one de-
livered today by Governor James r.
Goodrich. soon after he took office as
the successor to Governor Ralston. 1t
is looked upon as the message Of a
real business man who proposes TO
give real business administration.
However. there is one thing that the
message will accomplish that perhaps
was not contemplated, and that is that
it will undoubtedly bring to the state
house the biggest lot of lobbyists that
has ever infested the place. The new
governor recommends that abolition of
the offices of attorney general, state
statistician, governors legal clerk, the
oil inspection bureau and a number of
others, and it is a cinch that the occu-
pants of these offices will have their
friends and rooters here to prevent
anything of that kind from being done.
The governor believes that many
thousands of dollars can be saved by
this program. and he is out to put it
through. He is in favor of centraliz-
ing the state government in the hands
Of the governor. who. he believes
should have full authority along with
fun responsibility for the administra-
tion
He urges rigid economy in state

frage in their messages to the legis-
lature. 1t is apparent that since both

OF the things which she says led her
to take action against her husband:

Broke his marital agreement to

Water Cure Capped Climax.
But it was Tarbox's adaptation OF
the water cure to his methods of mod
em wife chastisement that capped the
climax and persuaded the wife to sue
The bin says that this was done or
June 25. and describes the incident as
follows:
Put Hose Down Throat.
"The defendant seized the plain till
by the neck and throat and choked her
until she was nearly insensible. and
the defen dant then seized the garden
hose and inserted the same in the
plaintiffs mouth at time when a
strong force of water was turned on
the defendant being a big. strong
healthy man. and the plaintiff is a
small, weak woman, and by reason OF
the defendants inserting the said gar

allowing the, water to run into her
mouth and down her throat. the plain

would have been drowned had it not
been for the fact that spectators who

grounds named and asks the custod,
