EXTRA SESSION IS
CALLED BY HANLY
Governor's Action Causes Po
litical Turmoil in Indiana.
WANTS LOCAL OPTION LAW
Against Adrlce of Leaders, Hanley
Calls Politicians Away From)
Canvass May Oppose One
State Candidate.
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. Sept. 4. Spe
cial.) Republican politics Is at the
boiling- point here tonight over the
calling of a special session of the Leg
islature by Governor Hanly and his
accompanying announcement that he
trould recommend to that body that It
enact a local option law, with the
county as a unit. The Legislature Is
called to meet September 18. and the
uncertainty as to what it will do will
hamper the Republican speakers in re
spect to state issues, and cause them
tronble In various directions.
The Governor did not act without
consulting the leaders, but he found
them all opposed to his plans and acted
against their advice. It Is broadly in
timated that he is not enthusiastic over
the state ticket, and that. If the Legis
lature does not bow to his will, he will
carry out his threat, made at the state
convention, to take the stump against
Fremont Goodwlne, candidate for Lieutenant-Governor.
Many citizens, however, not poli
ticians, are much In favor of a local
option law with the county as a unit,
and some of them think that the enact
ment of such a law would take the
question out of the campaign and that
the Republicans would prolit by it.
The Governor also seeks extra power
to deal with nightrldera in Southern
Indiana.
In a statement Issued by the Governor,
he gives the following reasons for desir
ing special powers to deal with the night
'riders:
In the early Spring numeroui, niM were
made In the part of the mate bordering
' upon tha Ohio River by so-called "night
'rider." resulting in the destruction of a
number of tobacco beds.
In a week s time the tobacco crop will be
; cut and housed In shacks and barns. Many
threatening letters ar. again being received
warning tobacco-growers not to cut their
crops at the peril of destruction of rop
and barns by nre. The conditions In Ken
tucky during the last year, one-third of
the slate being In anarchy, with neither lire
nor property secure: the conditions along
the Ohio River in Ohio, where in the last six
months the state has been compelled to
maintain a military patrol at a cost of $40.
OuO; and the threats being made to repeat
these crimes tn Indiana Impel me to take
th action T h&v In tli, hnn that the
General Assembly will give such executive
authority and place such funds at executive
disposal as shall be necesary to meet what
may be called at any moment a grave situation.
ICHAFIN MAKES ADDRESS
(Continued From First Page.)
to the United States, but within that
length of time would control the many
f the world's commodities.
He declared that If elected his first
official act would be the closing of bawdy
"houses an( saloons In the District of Co
lumbia, some of which, he said, were
conducted exclusively for use of members
of Congress.
J. P. Newell, state chairman, presided
at the meeting and Introduced Mr. Chafln.
On the platform were a number of the
most prominent Prohibition leaders of the
state. Preliminary to the Presidential
candidate's address I. H. Amos, National
Committeeman, spoke briefly. He de
clared that there is no reason why either
fTsft or Bryan should be elected.
"Neither will do a single high moral
-thing. If elected." he said.
"Gene" Is Good-Xatured.
As the candidate arose handkerchiefs
fluttered, hands clapped and the audience
cheered. He Is large, smooth-faced and
t-ald-headedi And good humor Is written
In capitals across his entire features.
"It Is a rule of our party that the
candidate cannot be cheered for more
than 83 minutes." he said, and with a few
similar remarks quickly won the audience.
"There never was a time in the hls
,tory of our country." he said, "when
there were so many great questions up
for settlement. None of these will be
ettled as long as the Republican or
Democratic party continues in power.
W have had a great industrial revo
lution during the past 13 years, and
neither of the two parties has grasped
It. and neither is doing anything to
settle it.
"There is the tariff question. The
Prohibition party is the only party that
has a solution for that question.
Neither of the other parties will try
to settle it. because they dare not dis
cuss the real Issues of the problem."
History of Tariff Question.
He then went into a history of the
tariff question, stating that the three
great protectionists were Alexander
Hamilton, Henry Clay and William
McKlnley. Competition, he said, is all
there Is to the whole protective tariff
system. And everything that has been
said In favor of the protective system,
lie said. Is merely a rehash of what
Hamilton originally said.
"Now the trusts are here," he said.
"When the Dingley tariff law was en
acted we had 61 truste. and these trusts
liave wiped out everything that Hamil
ton, or any of the others, ever said In
behalf of a protective tariff. Within
five years the price of Iron and steel
and other commodities will be fixed by
one man. and the trusts will not con
fine their operations to the United
States. They will cover the entire
world.
"Neither of the other Presidential
candidates dare honestly to explain
this question to the people. Both are
going through the country talking
Consense.
"Bryan says he Is going to settle the
tariff question. How could he settle it
with the Senate two-thirds Republic
an? He is talking nonsense and he
knows It. And right here I am going
to say that I will not refuse to run
for the Presidency the second time. If
J am elected.
If Bryan Is Chosen.
"If Bryan should be elected on No
vember 3. Roosevelt would call an ex
tra session of the Senate Immediately
and revise the tariff himself, for the
trust barons would give anything to
have Bryan In the White House with
our present tariff laws. The Democrats
snd Republicans have absolutely fic
titious Issues in this campaign."
In talking of the prohibition move
ment, the speaker declared that there
was never a time In the history of
this country when people turned out
so willingly and enthusiastically to
hear prohibition talks. Ten years ago
they ridiculed the Idea, he said.
"One of th fundamental principles
that we want to teach Is this." he said
"there are a lot of things that a ma
jority has not a right to do It has no
right to do wrong on a great moral
question.

Mrs. Annie Harmon, who refused to
make known her address to the police.
was locked In Jail last night on account
of an uncontrollable desire to dance on
the street. Patrolman Swennes, who ar
rested her. was attracted to the corner
of Third and Davla streets at about V
o'clock by a large crowd, and upon In

and applauded until the arrival of the

an elevator shaft at the site of the new

Seventh and Taylor streets, had a nar
row escape from death about o'clock
last night. He was struck by a bucket
used for hoisting dirt out of the excava
tion. The bucket fell from a height of
50 feet. Harry tjaaes. anoiner . oil
man, was stationed at the top or me
shaft and called to Taylor when the
bucket fell. As he did so Taylor looked
up and leaned backward. This action
saved his life. The bucket only struck
him a glancing blow. Taylor was felled
to the ground and dazed, but was able
to continue his work an hour later.
MRS. RUSTIN SAYS MURDER
(Continued From First Page.)
never thought of reporting the matter to
the authorities for some time. Then I
spoke to the physicians about It, and
they said they would attend to that
point, but in the hurry of the operation
which was performed they forgot to do
so until after death."
"It is reported that Dr. Rustln com
mU.ed suicide. Do you think he did?"
"I have never believed, nor do I now
believe, that suicide was responsible for
his deaf . I have no theory as to who
committed the deed, but there Is no
doubt in my mind but that Dr. Rustln
was murdered."
"It has been said that Dr. Rustln and
vourself did not live happily together;
that there was trouble between you.
What is the truth of that report?"
"There Is not one Iota of truth In that
report. We have been married more than
ten years, and during that time I never
received a cross word from my husband.
His conduct toward me was all that a
husband's should be. My friends have
often commented upon the gentleness
with which Dr. Rustln treated me and
his children.
"I want this terrible affair sifted to
the bottom, and I want the guilty party
brought to Justice. The officers will
have every assistance from me In their
efforts to solve the mystery of my hus
band's death."
Leon a Bonnell Arrested.
This afternoon the police arrested Miss
Lcona Bonnell. or Mrs. A. Rice, and will
detain her at the City Jail In connec
tion with the murder. No charge was
placed against the woman, but she has
admitted she was the last person In the
company of the physician before he
reached his home on the fatal night and
she will be held for developments.
In a final statement Miss Bonnell told
the Chief of Police that she accompanied
Dr. Rustln to within two blocks of his
home after midnight on Tuesday. Miss
Bonnell today stated her relationship with
Mr. A. Rice and that her parents and
husband live In Des Moines. . She has not
lived with her husband for some time,
but Is not divorced.
She said her acquaintance with Dr.
Rustln extended over several months, but
that she knew him only as any patient
would know a physician.
The members of the Coroner's Jury
went to the Rustln home today and
viewed the remains and the surroundings
at the Rustin home. They will hold an
Inquest Tuesday. . when Mrs. Rustin. Mrs.
Rice and several other witnesses will be
called upon to testify.
Chief Donohue today admitted that the
suicide theory was not longer being con
sidered and said the entire energy of the
Police Department had been enlisted In
the work of tracing the murderer. Com
panies that carried Insurance on the life
of Rustin have taken a hand In the In
vestigation, and several private detectives
are at work on the case.
MAKES LONG FLIGHT
Wright Remains in Air More
Than Four Minutes.
MACHINE BEHAVES WELL
Circles - Parade Ground at Fort
Myer Five Times and Lands
With Ease Distance Cov
ered 2 1-2 Miles.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 4. Orville
Wright made another flight over the
drill grounds at Fort Myer, Vs., today,
circling the field five times in addition
to going Its full length and landing
directly in front of the tent which shel
ters the machine. The total time con
sumed In flight was 4 minutes. 15 sec
ands. the aeroplane being under the
control of Mr. Wright throughout the
flight.
The wind was blowing at a rate of
three and three-fifths miles an hour,
and the speed of the aeroplane was es
timated at 36 miles an hour. Thirty
feet from the ground was the greatest
height attained In the two and a half
miles covered.
Replaces Broken Rudder.
This morning Mr. Wright replaced
the rudder broken yesterday and this
afternoon the machine was taken to
the Northern end of the drill grounds
where the starting apparatus Is lo
cated. Leaving the track at 6:55 the
machine was turned upward by the
operator, and dipping slightly, con
tinued to rise as it made for the south
ern end of the field. Mr. Wright made
several sharp turns, and at one point
repeated the mistake made yesterday,
but he was able to right the machine
before descending too near the earth.
One of the most Impressive features
of the aeroplane's porformance was the
ease with which it was brought to
earth when half way round on the last
lap. N
Wright Highly Pleased.
An enthusiastic crowd witnessed to
day's flight. Mr. Wright was greatly
pleased with the test and announced
that he would make a flight tomorrow
morning if weather conditions were
favorable.
The conditions which Orville -Wright
will have to fulfill with his aeroplane
in order to secure $25,000 from the
Government are extremely severe and,
although yesterday's flight has been
surpassed by the Wright brothers at
Dayton and -in North Carolina and by
the members of the Aerial Experiment
Association at Hammondsport, N. T.,
doubt is expressed as to whether the
Wright brothers can fulfill the require
ments of the specifications.
Wright Sore of Success.
Orville Wright is confident he will do
all he is required to do by the contract.
He says that if he had been higher in
the air during yesterday's flight, he
could have corrected the error he made
without coming to earth. In the offi
cial speed flight it will be necessary
for him to ascend to a height of 300
to 400 feet at certain points. This will
be much higher than any aviator has
yet dared to go with a heavler-than-air
machine.
Frequent Practice Flights.
Practice flights with the Wright
brothers' machine will be frequent at
Fort Meyer from now on and.lt may
be several weeks before the flights
for speed and endurance are made. In
their earlier aeroplanes the Wright
brothers have controlled the machine
while lying flat, but In the new ma
chine built for the Government the
operator occupies a sitting position and
the levet-e are turned In a direction
diametrically opposite to the former
method. This change In the system of
control was Indirectly the cause of yes
terday's mishap.
GARAGE AND AUTO BURN
Morning Blaze at H. V. Manning's
Home Causes $6000 Loss.
Fire destroyed the garage of H. W.
Manning. S90 Savler street, at 2 o'clock
this morning, and Mr. Manning's new
automobile, valued at $5000, was also
burned.
The origin of the blase Is not known.
Mr. Manning was first awakened by the
popping of electric light globes, which
were bursting with the heat in the
garage. The fire then had gained such
headway that the garage could not be
saved. Mr. Manning s residence was not
damaged.
The total loss on garage and automo
bile is about $6000, with Insurance of
$1500.
