MANNING'S CAPTAIN
IS A PRISONER
Wife Asserts That Captain Dodge Is
Held In Marine Hospital—Asks
Senators for Aid.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 13.—The
wife of Captain Frederick Dodge, com
mander of the revenue cutter Mann
ing, today requested the California
senators to" investigate the imprison
ment of her husband at the marine
hospital in this city. Mrs. Dodge as
serts that her husband is held a
prisoner by the Treasury Department
although not charged with any crime
and that he is forced to remain in
! the hospital building and that she
has been denied the privilege of see
ing him.
An investigation is certain to be
made as the senators will request Sec
retary McAdoo to investigate. It is
not believed, however, that Captain
Dodge is a prisoner but rather that
he is ill and cannot be seen.
WANT BIG FARM
FOR THE LEPERS
MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 13.—The state
medical society passed a resolution
today requesting the legislature to
purchase a farm of 10,000 acres to
be used as a farm for lepers. It is
pointed out by the society that It is
inhuman to pen men and women in
small buildings in restricted surround
ings and that one large farm of 10,000
acres would care for all the lepers
that might be found in the state.
NIGHT RIDERS
IN KENTUCKY
GREENVILLE, Ky„ Jan. 13.—The
grand jury is investigating the com
plaints of night riding and serious
trouble is expected in this district.
A number of tobacco warehouses have
been burned and the buildings of
farmers who sell to the trust have
been destroyed. So far nobody has
been killed in the raids but trouble
is brewing because of the fact that
the tobacco trust has imported guards
to watch their warehouses and pre
vent them from being burned.

MANY CONFESS TO
ELECTION FRAUDS
Eight Terre Haute Citizens Plead
Guilty—Mayor Roberts Was
the Ringleader.
|
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 13.—Of the
125 politicians and city officials in
dicted Dec. 26 for frauds in the last
election, eighty have entered pleas of
guilty. Most of those who have con
fessed are men who were paid from
$5.00 to $10.00 for illegal voting.
Many of the higher-ups will try to
fight conviction if they cannot secure
a good compromise from the federal
district attorney.
Practically all of the city officials
of Terre Haute are under arest. May
or Roberts is considered the ring
leader of the alleged conspiracy to
corrupt the Terre Haute election and
is charged with many overt acts in
the indictment. He is accused of levy
ing assessments against proprietors
of saloons, dance halls, gambling
houses and places of ill-fame and the
money so raised was used to secure
the registrtaion of illegal voters; of
hiring men to transport the repeat
ers from one precinct to another; of
conspiring to place only men his
money could buy on the registration
and election boards; of ordering the
arrest of certain citizens who were
opposed to his election and to hire
strong-arm men.
NIGGERS CANNOT
MARRY WRITES
House Passes Bill To Prohibit the
Intermarriage of Whites and
Blacks.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.—The
House, today passed the bill prohib
iting the inter-marriage of whites and
blacks. It has been found that the
“buck nigger” is anxious to secure a
white woman for his life compan
ion. The feeling against inter-mar
riages is strong and if the Sena'e
agrees to the House bill and the pres
ident signs it the “niggers” will have
to look elsewhere for white women, or
else take them into some other state
to be married.
It is hoped by the advocates of the
prohibition of mixed marriages that
the bill passed by the House will be
passed in every state «r else that con
gress enact a law covering all states
and territories.
