A GIPT FOR HENDRICKS.
The Vice-President-E Elect the Recipient of a
Gavel for Use In the Senate.

A presentation in the Bates House corridors
last night. attracted large crowd of politicians
legislators, lobbyists and loungers, who COM
pletely filed the space about the principal actors
in the affair. 1t was in a measure impromptu
having been arranged late in the afternoon.
John G. Mack, the seventeen year-old son Of
Judge Mack. of Terre Haute, ex-Speaker Of the
House of Representatives is pupil at Rose
Polytechnic Institute, at Terre Haute. The idea
occurred to him of fashioning gavel for the new
Vice-presdent and he executed it in handsome
shape. It was the presentation of this that drew
a crowd to the Bates House last night The
Hon. b. +. Ravens, of Terre Haute, made few
remarks in presenting the gavel to Mr.. Hen
bricks, which was accompanied by the following
letter.
"Mr Vice president Hendricks:
Dear Sir-I made this gavel for you. Every
piece is of Indiana hickory, as good as Tennes
see ever produced. hope you will be pleased
to accept it. and that in your hands it will ever
der. Your friend JOHN 9. MACK,
"Rose Polytechnic School.
'"TERRE HAUTE Ind"
In accepting the gavel, Mr. Hendricks spoke
at some length, in a manner at once compliment
airy and congratulatory, and at the conclusion of
his remarks he was applauded He said:
II am gratifed that my young friend has chosen
you to be his mouthpiece in presenting this
beautiful gavel You and have been friends
for many years, and therefore your presentation
is the more agreeable to me- l appreciate this
present for many reasons. First, because it is a
beautiful piece of handiwork; ALSO because it is
presented by young gentleman whose youth is
yet charming. He is the Of my esteemed
friend Judge Mack, whom l have known and
greatly respected, and whose friendship
| prize. 1t is presented by the grandson Of
John G. Davis, the able representative in Con
gress from the Terre Haute district many years
ago. In our personal relations as in poll
tics, we agreed. This present from his grandson
revives interesting memories. l appreciate it
because in the language of the address and of
the letter it represents impartiality as well as
authority Nay, say to you, sir, that in my
hands it shall continue to represent the author
ity necessary to maintain decorum in legislative
proceedings necessary to the enactment of
wholesome laws and also that impartiality that
is due to all members of legislative body
thank my young friend for the beautiful pres
tnt."
The gavel is composed entirely of Indiana
hickory. the head being fashioned of eight varie
ties neatly turned and jointed. 1t is highly
polished and really beautiful piece of work
manship. It's construction reflects credit upon
the young student whose work it is, and speaks
highly of the practical direction given the educa
ton of the students at Rose Institute.

mcAuLEY,s LITTLE CAME.
How He Secured HIS Release In st. Paul
and slipped the Police.

The Baltimore police authorities are in
dignant at the releasing Of Harry Nc
( Cauley, who was arrested in st. Paul,
Mimi, by the police there. The Marshal
of Baltimore has written out full detail
OF the case, and has made a report to the
Police Commissioner there, in which he
charges the Mayor of st. Paul With ex-
ceeding his authority in releasing any
prisoner held upon as serious charge as
forgery without having communicated
before doing so with the authorities at
whose instance the arrest was made.
As soon as young McCauley, an ac-
count of whose crOokedness was given in
the NEWS yesterday, was arrested in St.
Paul the chief Of police there wired the
Baltimore authorities. McCauley had
already been indicted by the grand jury,
and word was Immediately sent back TO
hold the prisoner until an officer from
Baltimore could get there with the neces-
sary papers to bring him East.
A detective arrived with requisition
from the Governor of Maryland and a
commission as agent for the State to-
gether with the teller of the bank through
which the forged check was collected,
started at once for st. Paul. They had
hardly gotten off before n telegram was
received by the Baltimore police from the
authorities at st. Paul saying: "Notfy
officer about to start for McCauley not to
come. II he has started wire him back.
McCauley released. Have written"
The detective and the bank officer were
Intercepted several hundred miles from
Baltimore and returned. No letter was
received from the st. Paul authorities for
some time, and the Marshal again tele-
graphed for particulars, and received
reply saying: ''McCauley employed cOun-
sci, and was ordered released. | wrote
particulars. Have written again to-day"
A few days afterward a letter WAS re-
ceIVed stating that McCauley had en-
ployed counsel who had made a hard
fight for him, and the Mayor of St. Paul
had ordered his release. The Baltimore
authorities say that from all they know
it appears that McCauley was never
taken before any court of
competent jurisdiction. The Marshal of
Baltimore adds that in his experience in
police affairs this is the first time that be
has ever heard of a Mayor undertaking to
adjudicate and release a prisoner when
he mad been officially notified that the
authorities OF a sister State were making
all possible speed 10 prepare the papers
necessary for his requistion.
The day after his arrest McCauley sent
dispatch to the gentleman who
introduced him at the bank and
who says he has known HIM
for fifteen years and who is held by the
abank responsible for the amount Of the
check saying;
Call on Deale, and wire me if bank win
drop prosecution on payment of amount re-
ceived on check. Answer care J. j. O'Con-
nor. HENRY l.. MCCAULEY.
MIR Deale, who is the teller of the bank
which cashed the check, answered for the
bank, refusing to acquiesce. McCauley
as soon as he was released left st. Paul
and the police are still looking for him.
