with the team hitched to the Jung
Brewery Co. 's wagon. Mr. Mulford

der the front wheel of the brewery

"Yesterday morning as my team
was going east on Main street, Mr.
Fred BlickwedeL arid 11 r. Fred Han-,
ning were on -the --''wagon, The men
were making deliveries' and - were on

point the horses were turned to cross

Christ man's saloon, on north Sev
enth. A street ear was just passing
and it obscured the view of the men

DANIEL E. STORMS
CALLS
Hanly Says Storms Has Failed to
Pay Certain "Moneys Due the
State.
Indianapolis, Ind., January 2.-
Daniel E. Storms, Secretary of State,,
today absolutely refused to cClnply
with Governor Hanly 's request that
he resign his office. Mr. Storms, after
a long 'consultation with A. C. Har
ris, one of his attorneys, went with
Harris to the Governor's office,
re they were closeted with the
"Governor for a short time. When
they came out Mr. Storms stated that
he had refused to resign. Further
than that, he said he had no state
ment to make.
Governor's Brief Statement.
Governor Hanly said: "Mr.
Storms this morning refused to re
sign, and has so far failed to pay the
State certain moneys due from him
to the State."
He would say nothing as to what
course would be pursued.
4-:' It is supposed that Wal action
I, will be taken in the Marion county
lVeourts looking to the removal of
Storms from office. In order to do
this it is thought that a written ac
cusation will be filed against Storms,
charging him with mismanagement
of his office, and also charging him
with the failure to pay to the State
s "the certain moneys" referred to bv
the Governor. If this is done, Storms
will be cited to appear, and the case
will be summarily disposed of. In
case of conviction the office will be

out concerning the "certain moneys
due the State," that Storms is said
not to have paid into the treasury,
it is understood that this includes in
terest on the $25,000 of money due
' the Stale in July, but no'; paid until
'T the-October settlement; ako noneys
'ajjkged to be due from Storms be
"r cause of the premature use of the
V -'appropriation, for stenographer; and
V third; moneys alleged to be due from
i the foreign corporations department
of the office owing to the drawing of
X $2,000 and t he payment of only
$1,50 or .'$1,S00 to the foreign cor

.All of the other fee-receiving' of
fices settled today, with the excep
tion of Sid Conger, Chief Oil Inspec

' amount paid in was $10,477.45. Attorney-General
Miller's payment was

street. Suddenly his wheel ran into
one of the horses, frightening.it and
causing both horses to make a for
ward lunge and Mr. Mulford was
thrown under the front wheel. Both
wheels passed diagonally over the
shoulder and chest which is the best
resisting point. Mr. Mulford was also
slightly' hurt ' about the head. No
bones were broken. The Jung Brew
ing wagon was gfing slow and our
wen were not in any way to blame
for the accident."
Mr. Mulford was taken into Lu
ken's drug store and Dr. Davis called
who gave him medical attention. He
was taken to his home in the ambu
lance, where he is resting very com
fortably. Mr. C. B. Hunt stated last night
that he had just visited Mr. Mulford
and fo'und him in better condition
than could be expected. lie said Mr.
Mulford attached no blame to any
one, it. being one of those unaccount
able affairs for which no one seemed
responsible.
Mr. J. F. Rowlett, manager of the
Jung Brewing Company, Avas very
much pained to learn of the accident
and immediately set out to find who
was to blame and was much pleased
when he found that no blame rested
upon his men.
WON'T DESIGN
ON THE GOVERNOR
amounting to $10G.C0. Settlement
was also made by the Auditor's of
fice. What Prosecutor Benedict. Says.
Prosecutor Charles P. Benedict re
fused . to say what would be the re
sult of his interview with Governor
Hanly regarding the Storms case. He
said that as a 'final decision in the
matter had not been, reached, it
would not be fair either to the State
or to Mr. Storms.
"Is is true that the January grand
jury will take up and investigate the
Storms case?"
"I can not say," replied Mr. Ben
edict. "There has been a conference
regarding the Storms case between
Governor 'Hanly and myself, but I
do not think I am in a position to
make any statement regarding the
matter for publication.
"Will 'proceedings be brought to
oust Mr. Storms from his office."
"I cannot answer that question
(either. There are two ways for the
.case to be handled.. One is for Gov
j ernor-Hanly to call an extra session
jof the Legislature and ask for the
impeachment of -Mr. Storms by that
brdy; the other is for the matter to
bo taken up in the courts; but at this
time T can not make a statement on
the probable action."
Attorney-General Miller and Gov
ernor Hanly still- refuse to discuss
the legal phase of the trouble.

we have beautified our hall, with are
lights, by the as'sistance of your
honorable body and officials of tr?
city of Richmond. .. :
Second, We have increased our

good support from the citizens at
large. Now I beg to say' that I hope
that this membership Avill increase
until we have at least 3,000. What
did we do when we had six members?
What have we done while we have
305 members? And what can be done
when we have at least ,3000 or more
members? Now, gentlemen, this is
the point Ave should all bear in mind..

PAYING UP
Report That He Will Leave Office a
Poor Man.
New York, January 2. John A.
Mi-Call, president of the Ncav York
life Insurance Company, has paid
to the company the $235,000 advanc
ed to Andrew Hamilton and so far
not accounted for by Mr. Hamilton.
Thomas P. FoAvler, chairman of the
company's investigation committee,
appointed by the board of trustees,
received today a check from Mr. Mc
Call for $S5000 and a note for
$150,000. Mr. McCall some time ago
promised to make good this sum un
less Hamilton, Avho Avas legislative
agent for the big insurance com
panies, rendered an accounting. On
receipt of Mr. McCall 's letter accom
panying the check and note, a meet
ing of the board of trustees av as call
ed for tomorrow. While no official
statement on the subject was obtain
able it Avas accepted as a fact that
Mr. McCall 's resignation as presi
dent will be presented to the trustees
tomorrow. v
At a conference of a number of
trustees today, Alexander E. Orr Avas
requested to accept the presidency of
the company. Mr. Orr said he Avould
prefer that some one else be selected
for the place permanently, but he of
fered to act as president until some
one else is named. Others mentioned
for the presidency are John Clafin,
Norman B. Ream and Hiram R.
Steele.. '
One of the members of the New
York Life's investigating committee
said today that the reason why Mc
Call could not pay over the $235,000
in one lump sum was because Mr.
McCall is a poor man. It was said he
would go opt of office with practi
cally nothing except his life insur
ance policy of $500,000, and that in
order to pay his $150,000 note he
may have to get assistance from his
wife and.some friends.
