HE NEVER READ THE PAPERS.
Isaac Ringer, of Brightwood, Worked
by Green Goods Game.

Isaac Ringer. the proprietor of thresh-
ing machine which has taken up winter
quarters four miles east of Brightwood,
had never read of the confidence man. He
now appeals to the police and tells the Off
GERS of his experience with "green goods
sharks" Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Ringer
started to the city pretty comfortably sup
piled with the fruits of his last summers
work. He walked into Brightwood, intend
ing TO take the train to the city. I'm
fortunately for him the cars were late, and
he spent the time until the arrival of the
train in perambulating about the platform.
Just a minute before the train steamed
along two fellows approached the threSh-
ing-machine proprietor, and after a con-
versation long enough to ascertain that
they had the right man in hand, made him
a magnanimous offer. Isaac was startled.
For fifty dollars of his money they would
hand over to him double the amount in
green goods" Isaac Bit and rendered his
fifty hard-earned cash. Then one of the
men volunteered to remain with Isaac until
his partner walked over to his boarding
house to get the queer" He never came
back and in short while the confederate
suggested that he had better look UP the
other The duped man hesitatingly agreed,
and he was left alone. AT o'clock last
evening neither of the clever gentlemen
had returned and Isaac looked up the po-
lice. He says one of the, SharperS was

appointee. Collector j. O. Cravens's books
Will be found to be correct Mr. Bracken
will keep the main Office at Luxembourg
where it has been during the last three ad-
nIinistratiOns. He thinks that Indianapolis
has enough federal offices, and should not
want to hog them all. Mr.. Hunter re-

years ago, and since that time the men
who have followed him in office have all

in Washington.

ges will succeed George Harvey as the
chief deputy in the Indianapolis office He
was formerly in the Office, and his fnfiu-
ence with Tom Taggart is supposed to be
strong enough to secure him the position

uty during Hunters term, is also q candi-
date for the position. William Smith. A
school teacher living or Clifford avenue is
another candidate for one of the deputy
ships. There are three of these deputies
outside of the government gaugers. wills

Ex-ControIIer wooIIen EXT


Ex-COntroIIer WooIlen Explains.
To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
In your paper of Wednesday last you
say: 1.-THE discovery by the city controller
of a new and hitherto unreported and un-
suspected liability Of $4,000 shows what
desperate situation he has to deal with"
In the city department of the Journal of
the same day is this: Yesterday Con-
troler Trusler discovered that $4,000 had
been obtained by the Sullivan adninistra-
ton of City Treasurer Holt. . . The pub
lie knew nothing Of 1t. The Democratic
machine did not care to let the people
know the true state of affairs. This will
make an additional 1000 Of indebtedness
which the new administration will have to
confront, for the debt to the city treasurer
will have to be paid out of the incoming
taxes. The city charter provides a penalty
for borrowing money without authority
of the Council" etc.
If borrowed money for the city without
the authority of the Council l committed
an offense and ought to be indicted and
tried for it. But 1 committed no such Of
Tense. The fact is this: The treasurer is
required by law to keep account of the
taxes he receives, and. on the first day of
the succeeding month, TO receipt to the
controller for the amount who, charges
the treasurer with it. AS is well known.
a large amount of money is paid to the
treasurer during the month. which. by
law, is not available until TIE uTSI Oh the
next month Mr.. Holt kindly gave me one
receipt for $1,000 and another for $1,000 be-
fore l quit office, for which / thanked him.
BY this no obligation on the part of the
city was incurred. She simply got the
money before the treasurer was required
by law to pay 1T over. In discussing the
city finances with Mr.. Trusler and Mayor
Denny, / told them that the treasurer
was not required to receipt for money
coming into his hands before the 1st of
November but, If the necessities of the
city should require it. i thought it prob
able that Mr.. Holt would give him re-
ceipt for what he needed that he had
given me a receipt for 5000 the Friday
before. I said nothing about the receipt for
the $4,000 previously obtained. as / did not
think ii any more necessary to speak of
that than of any other one given by the
treasurer.
Now, I submit that gross Injustice was
done me in the matter quoted from your
paper of Wednesday. | gave Mr.. Truser
a full statement of the city's liabilities.
and he has discovered no new ones, for
they do not exist l am not attempting to
defend what did, but what 1 have been
falsely accused of doing.
