LINCOLN TRIBUTE IS
PAID IN ASSEMBLY
Colonel David N. Foster,
Who Knew Civil War
President, Is Speaker.

A man who knew Lincoln spoke
today on the life of the Civil war
President to members of the gen.
eral assembly from the senate roS-
trun1.
Erect as when he marched with
the Army of the Potomac, but
white bearded in testimony of his
some 80 years, David N. Foster Ft.
Wayne, spoke for an hour.
A personal friend of Stephen A..
Douglas, Colonel Foster, then boy
of IT, followed closely the debates
in Illinois between the great SEN
ator and the man who later be-
came Americas best loved PreSi-
dent.
Those debates changed me from
Douglas Democrat to a Lincoln
Republican, Foster confessed.
Campaigned for Lincoln
He campaigned for Lincoln, al
though still not old enough to vote.
Then came the war and his en-
lstment in the Ninth New York
militia, going from the home of his
father at Newburg, N. Y.
At Newburg he had heard Lincoln
speak from the train en- route to
Washington for the Inauguration.
This was the second time he had
heard him, the first being before
the campaign when Lincoln talked
at Cooper Union in New York City.
HE was three fourths legs and
homely." Foster declared. But I
believed that God raised him up to
save our nation from dissolution"
Members of both houses were
present at the Lincoln Day pro-
gram.
Other speakers were Clarence M.
Brown, Richmond, and the Rev.
Charles Sumner Williams, Negro,
Indianapolis. Music was provided
by the Greentown high school or
chestra of which Miss Pauline Shull
is director.
Holiday for Schools
About $4,000 Indianapolis school
children were dismissed from the
city schools following exercises,
Wednesday afternoon. to COM

ton, Butler university, at the uni
versity chapel early this afternoon.

BONE DRY LAW

Majority Report Expected
TO Be in Favor of
Medicinal LIQUOR.

Whether the Indiana house O.
representative really has thrown of
the yoke of the Anti-Saloon League

Monnig bill, providing for prescrip.

and on the Galloway Egan bill fol
repeal of the Wright bone dry
law.
Split Is Certain
Two divided reports are regarded
certain for Friday, thus opening de.
bate on the measures on the floor Of
the house.
1t is believed that the majority
report of the morals committee ia
vors passage of the medicinal liquor
bill, while another majority report
will favor indefinite poStponement
of the repeal bill.
For the first time in more than
a decade, the drys were placed on
the defensive Wednesday night at
the hearing on the repeal bill and
were forced to pit their stock
phrases against concrete facts and
figures.
Dictated by Stephenson
The curtains (which have Shrouded
the origin and passage of the
Wright bone dry law in 1925 were
torn aside by Boyd Gurley, editor
of The indianapolis Times, and he
exposed actual facts behind the
passage of the law.
You who look askance at we
who oppose the Wright law now
should know that without the as
sent of the chief felon of Indiana
the bill introduced by Wright never
would have become a law" Gurley
said.
David G. Stephenson, now in
a convict's cell at Michigan City,
who, in 1925, boasted Il am the law,
dictated the Wright law and die
tated its passage.
Tt was dictated by intolerance,
born in an atmosphere of corrup-
ton, and passed in ignorance.
BIasS at Governor
''This very bill we are asking you
to repeal was celebrated in drunken
debauchery at the Claypool hotel
on the very night of its passage.
Furthermore, it was signed by a
Governor who later was indicted for
attempting to bride another Gov
ernor and who escaped conviction
only by invoking the statuate of
limitations.
IF you defeat this bill to repeal
the Wright bone-dry law. I am
asking you to come back-you, Mr..
Miles Ethan A. Miles, attorney for
the indiana Anti Saloon League g.,
on the last night Of this session to
these halls and sec what happens,
and determine whether your law is
working"
Gurley told of his education at a
Methodist college where the tenn
perance movement was born and
cited that he was the first editor in
the United States to refuse liquor
advertisement.
Was Crusade Then
He related his early allegiance to
the cause of temperance, when"
he said, temperance was a crusade
and reform not racket"
This movement" he declared,
was rushed in by idealisln, but

Jaker.
 The preliminary examlnauon made on the spot revealed the body had been in the water for a considerable period; dressed in clothing of dark material and every pocket filled with rocks. A belt supported the trousers and the black shoes appeared to be new ones. The body was found face down; a lone tuft of black hair was all that remained on the skull. Here and there seaweed was entangled about the body.
 Last evening, shortly after 8 o'clock, the body was seen floating in the water between the break water and the old sawmill but little was it realized that the ob- ject gazed upon was a corpse. The remains were lifted upon a hand-car, taken to the end of the Fourth Avenue railroad "" where it was transferred to the hearse and thence to the undertaking es- tablishment.
 John Madnick, pioneer of AL aska, was about 50 years of age, and for many years had made Seward his home. Months prior to his disappearance, between the hours of 2 and 6 a. m. on the morning of Decoratio Day, he had been in poor health and this, it is thought, preyed upon his mind At that time the opinion was ex- pressed by those intimate with him and his personal habits, that he had done away with himself by jumping into the bay This opin- ion, judging from the preliminary investigation of the body found
 today, is probably correct AS
 far as is known at this time the only relative is brother who, some years ago, lived in Tacoma, Wash
