MORE INDICTMENTS PROBABLE.
Other Individuals Likely to Be Called
Upon to Explain Bank Affairs.

1t is stated upon rather direct authority
that among the indictments now in course
of preparation for the indianapolis Ma
tional Bank officials under instruction OF
the federal grand jury is one against a
prominent citizen connected with the bank
more or less remotely. He is, it has been
discovered, a heavy borrower from the
bank, both in his individual capacity and
as the representative of certain corpora
tons, to which President Haughey was
generous in his loans. One of these cor
porations got into the bank for more than
the 10 per cent. limit. The Indictment
charges In one count certain false repre-
sensations to the Controller of the Cur
rency regarding the banks condition, es-
pecially with reference TO items i'm which
he was personally Interested. Another
count charges him with aiding and abetting
President Haughey in embeZzlement and
d~efrauding the depositors OF the bank.
1t is probable that this and at least one
more arrest will be made early next week.
The grand jury has voted upon what men
Il will indict and the indictments are in
course OF preparation in the district at
torney's Office. The jury will %reconvene on
Monday, when il will approve the true bills
as made out, and they will be signed by the
foreman.

ment was voiced by nearly every grocer
present, though there was one who. In a
very weak and timid voice. said he was
willing to admit that possibly there might
be a few honest peddlers. At this point
Mr.. Hennessey, q the committee, asked IL
the grocers meaIt to say that the ped
dlers were dishonest In their business.
Receiving a reply in the affirmative he
answered that he should be opposed to
licensing dishonesty at any fee.
Mr.. Drew asked if the grocers would ac-
cept a MODIFICATION OF the ordinance and
reduction of the fee, and those present
were of the opinion that 800 would be ac-
ceptable If they could not have the fee
placed at twice that amount. Then came
the question OF a proporttonate reduction
of the fee as to the men with push carts,
and the grocers all agreed that it was not
the scalp of the man with the push cart
they wanted. One man only In speaking OF
the proposed ordinance came out plain
spoken and admitted that If he had the
fixing of the fee he would make it so high
that no peddler could continue his business
This spirit was present throughout the
meeting, though It was only openly avowed
by one man.
Mr.. Drew announced that he would hold
the ordinance over for another two weeks
before reporting IL back to the Council in
order to inform himself more fully upon
the subject, and in the meantime all sides
of the question would be given an oppOr-
tunity to be heard. He said he was not
certain but that the ordinance as it now
stands would require the wholesale mer-
chants to pay the fee Of 500 for each city
salesman, and If such a construction could
be put upon it they would probably desire
TO be heard before the ordinance was
passed.

Reform school for Hoxs.

The fourteenth annual report Of he Re-
form School for Boys was submitted TO
the Governor yesterday. The report shows
that two deaths have occurred during the
past year; that 17 boys have been adj
mitted and sixty-nine returned. The aver
age age is fourteen years. An argument
was made for the exclusion of all boys
under ten years of age. Three boys who
arrived at the age of twenty-one were
committed to prison for criminal offenses.
The departments of the school were re-
ported as being in a better condition than
ever before. The appropriation of $40, 600
has been expended, but was not sufficient
to erect the new building. The work done
on the same would nave cost, If done by
outside parties, $4,000 The school for
manual training has been fully equipped
and harmony is said to pervade the entire
management.

ARRAIGNED.
Brought Into Police Court and His Trial
Continued q Day.

E. D. Fulford, who was brought back to
this city TO answer to the charge Of for
gerry made by Z. W.. Moister, auditor of
the Long Distance Telephone Company,
was arraigned in the Police Court yesterday
morning and his case continued. Ex-Attor-
ney-general Miller appeared in the prosecu-
ton and Merrill Moores for the defendant.
The defense objected to the case being con-
tirued. Mr.. Moores said his client had
been wrongfully treated by the company,
as he was In the city doing nothing for two
weeks prior to his departure for his home
in the East, and before leaving he had told
Mcister that he was going. but would re-
turn if wanted and answer any charges
that might be made against him. He was
not asked to return, but arrested and
brought back, and Mr.. Moores demanded
an immediate examination
Mr.. Miller, for the prosecution, said they
were not ready for trial, as some Of their
witnesses were not present, and as the
case was O. serioue one, and Fulford, If
guilty in the case as charged, was also
guilty in other cases, and asked that the
case be continued to allow them to prepare
for the trial, saying that they could be
ready this morning.
Special Judge Bradbury allowed the con-
~tinuance, and refused to reduce the bond
of Fulford to $1,000, as requested by Mr..
McoreS. The prosecution is not being made
upon the first affidavit against Fulford
signed by Moister, but upon another, charg-
ing separately the forgery of a voucher
for $50 for board Of Fulford and William
MARYLAND.

cusses the Grocers' Demand.
The committee on streets and alleys held
a meeting in the city clerks office last
night, at which the peddlers' ordinance was
discussed. The ordinance which all the
grocers are asking the Council to pass is
one placing the license for peddlers using
a wagon at 5000; push carts. so. and ped
dlers on foot at 80 per year, and provides
that no license shall be issued for less
than a year. 1t is very comprehensive In
it's scope and a question was raised by
Mr.. Drew, of the committee. last night as
to whether it did not include in its pro-
visions the various wholesale merchants
who have city statesmen selling goods by
sample. A number Of grocers were pres
ent at the meeting, but the peddlers were
not represented.
There was a hadowy attempt on the
part of the grocers TO conceal the real
animus which prompts the placing of the
license fee at a figure high enough to be-
come practically prohibitory in it's opera
ton. The spirit manifested was one of
resentment towards that class of persons
who earn their livelihood by selling pro-
visions from wagons and the burden of
the complaint against the peddlers was
that they sold their wares cheaper than
the grocers wanted to, and they said
cheaper than they were able to sell. Mr..
Austin was chief spokesman for the gro
GERS and argued that the license was
equitable on account OF the expense of the
grocers in maintaining their stores. He
argued that because the grocers were COM
PEELED TO carry a large stock, provide fix
lures for their stores. pay rent. insurance,
taxes and make credit sales the burden OF
the eXorbitant license fee should be placed
upon the peddlers to equalize their ex-
penses. None OF the grocers present, how

equity laid OF adding the burden TO the
peddlers.
The discussion was entirely informal and
Mr.. Austin said and reiterated several
times that he thought 500 was a 'leetle
high and he would be willing TO accept
a less fee. He said. in arguing for some
raise in the fee, that the peddlers would
buy potatoes at 60 cents per bushel. sell
them at the same price and have from
s. to s. per day profit. This he claimed
they were able TO do by false measures
ard denounced them as reprobates and
scoundrels. LAS a general rule grocers
are honest" he said. but peddlers as a
general rule are dishonest" This senti-

Fire and Police officials VIII Get
Their November Pay.

Controller Trusler will continue to pay
members of the police and fire departments
their salaries each month. pending the de-
cision of the city attorney as to whether
they be considered salaried officers and
payable only quarterly. The monthly pay
ments made will be considered as advances
made and deducted from the amount due
at the end of the quarter. He says that
this action was decided upon to prevent
hardship among the men who had been re-
ceiving their salaries monthly and had con-
tracted bills in accordance with their ex-
pectation that this would continue. In a
letter to the Board of Public Safety, yes
terday, he says: 'In certifying the amounts
due member and officers of the police and
fire departments for November, you will
please certify in a case where an officer or
employe Is dropped from the roll, his SAL
airy at the accustomed rate and also certify
the amount that would be due under the
rate as existing before the increase, de-
Quoting the amount of increase paid for the
month of October"

Kirksis Has a Hearing.

The preliminary hearing of John Kirksis,
arrested for forgery upon the affidavit of
Charles Moister, of the Long Distance Tel
ephone Company, was had before Justice
Johnson yesterday. The specific charge
against Kirksis is the forging of a voucher
for $4 payable TO Christian Ploughes, a
farmer Of Warren township. Healing &
Hugg~ appeared for the defendant, and made
a strong effort to have the prisoner released
on the preliminary examination. Ploughes
testified that he did not read the voucher
before he signed it, and did not know what
II contained at that time. Mr.. Healing
quoted from decisions of the Supreme
Court holding that a simple allegation of
forgery in an indictment was construed to
mean that the whole of the instrument
had been forged, and IL an alteration was
depended upon for conviction, as in this
case, the alteration must be set out. which
was not done. Mr.. ELAN, who prosecuted,
suggested that there was other evidence
back of that produced by them in court.
and intimated that IL the court was not
satisfied With the evidence on the forgery
charge, it might hold the defendant for
embezzlement or false pretenses.

Commercial Travellers Will Give.

A meeting Of the commercial travellers
of this city was called for tonight for the
purpose of arranging some plan by which
they could as a body aid in the relief Of
the needy unemployed, first Of their own
craft If there should be any and after that
for the general good. TIL meeting will
be held tonight at 73O O'Clock in the COM
mercial travellers club rooms on West
Maryland street over the pension Office.
1t is hoped that every man in the city
who goes on the road will come UP and
throw in his mite TO help some one not
so fortunate as he is. The drummer is
known to be a liberal giver. but this year
he has suffered with all the country. He
is not doing the business he did a year
ago, so his salary is not so good. He Is
also known as always doing the fair thing.
so while the amount raised may not be
much, IL will show up in proportion to
ability to give as good as the best.
