FIGHT THE
TARIF LAW
Beveridge in Impassioned
Appeal Carries Indiana
State Convention
INDIANAPOLIS, April 5.—When
Senator Beveridge in his speech as
temporary chairman of the Indiana
Republican convention today declar
ed his antagonism to the new tariff
law he was greeted by great applause.
Repeatiug as a text:
"I could not stand for it then and
I cannot stand for it now,” Senator
Beveridge made an Impassioned de
fense of the counts upon which he
had based his vote in the senate
against the Payne Aldrich tariff bill,
which he did not call by name. The
convention adopted a platform which
Ignores the Payne-Aldrich tariff law
and declares for only a protective tar
iff "that covers the difference be
tween the cost of production here
and abroad."
The Beene in the convention halt
was one of tensest dramatic interest.
Attempts at interruption of the
speaker was made at the beginning
of his speech, but these were in a
few moments ridden down and utter
ly routed by a growing clamor of sup
port of the fiery speech of the elo
quent orator.
In a very short time the noise In
the hall was all with the speaker ana
broke forth in rapid volleys of ap
plause that linally became unani
mous, the opposition giving up the
fruitless und impossible beginning
which It had made. Probably a
thousand delegates and Interested
spectators heard the speech through.
Evening papers accept the speech as
outlining the position of the anti
Payne tariff bill people and anticipate
that it wlP be their principal docu
ment In the coming congressional
campaign which they have start
ed throughout the country and which
will be fought to the finish at the
polls in November.

Her Klmtion Is Binding.
LINCOLN. Neb., April 5.—Miss
Gertrude Jordou, who was last No
vember, as the Republican candidate,
elected treasurer of Cherry county, is
entitled to hold that office. That was
the decision this evening of the
supreme court of Nebraska, which
says that under the constitution there
Is nothing to bar a woman from fill
ing such a place. Miss Jordon's pre
decessor refused to surrender the
office to her on the ground that a
female is not competent under the
statutes to occupy the position, and
the case was taken to the supreme
court.
Judge Jacob Fawsett dissented
from the majority opinion on the
ground that it waR establishing a
dangerous precedent and urged that
if a woman was competent to be
county treasurer there was no reason
why she should not be elected gov
ernor of the state.

SI X HAS ERUPTIONS.
Strange Phenomena Reported on Orb
by Astronomer.
CHICAGO, April 5.—Strange erup
tions have appeared on the sun, It
was announced today by Professor
Edwin B. Frost, director of the
Yerkes Observatory, at Williams Bay,
Win.
“The eruptions shoot from the
surface of the sun like skyrockets,"
said Professor Frost. “They are
easily visible at the edge of the disc
One of them shot out to a length ol
150,000 miles, as near as we could
estimate. It then detached Itsell
from the main body and sped through
space, a mass of luminous gas not
dissimilar to a comet. Before it dis
appeared it had reached a distance
from the sun of about 250,000 miles.
The eruptions are probably caused by
the release of pressure on some par
I alar spot of the sun”
Professor Frost said the disturban
ces probably accounted for brilliant
auroral displays which had been seen
recently.
Charged with sending a challenge
to fight a duet to John llegenshott, of
Curley, Ala., John G. Hanbrlck, of
New York, was arrested at Hunts
ville, Ala.
Roosevelt Trims His Plans
in Rome-ls Displeased
--Rides With the King
✓
ROME, April 5.—Mr. Roosevelt
was not In his happiest mood today.
His wish that the Vatican audience
incident be regarded as personal to
him has not been respected and he
is intensely annoyed.
About the first thing the former
president did today was to call off a
reception to members of the Ameri
can colony, which had been set for
tomorrow night.
This action can be traced directly
to the issuance yesterday of a state
ment by Rev. B. M. Trfpple, pastor
of the American Methodist church, in
which the opportunity was taken for
an attack on the Roman Catholic
| church.
Mr. Roosevelt does not propose to
be used by anyone to the disparage
ment of anyone else.
The appearance of Trlpple's state
ment displeased many American
Catholics, who forthwith manifested
an intention of abandoning their
purpose to attend the reception if
the Methodist organization as repre
sented by Mr. Tripple were to be
present.
The matter was carried to Mr.
Roosevelt, who, after hearing both
sides, promptly asked Mr. Leishman,
!the American ambassador, to cancel
the whole affair. This was done.
King Victor Emmanuel called on
I Mr. Roosevelt at the latter's hotel
this morning. Some time was spent
in animated conversation. Follow
ing the chat the King and Mr. Roose
velt entered a motor car and a visit
was paid to the barracks of the
cuirrassiers, the royal body guard.
Mr. Roosevelt was again today be
sieged by newspaper men who
sought to draw from him an intima
tion of his attitude towards the ad
ministration of President Taft. He
was told of reports circulated in the
United States that there was a cold
ness between the President and him
self.
The statement did not disturb bis
equanimity or lead him into any com
ment, but it can be said on excellent
authority, how'ever, that any report
that Mr. Roosevelt proposes to re
pudiate his successor in the presi
dency is “basely falsification.”
It was also learned that Mr. Roose
velt had hoped to see Senator Root In
Europe but that the latter will not be
able to make the Journey. Col. Roose
velt will see Gifford Pincbot at
Genoa, April 11.
