a NEW CONFIDENCE GAME.
How Joseph Miller, of Spencer,
Raised Money.

Detective McGuf last night succeeded in
landing behind the bars one of the smooth
est. confidence men, so they believe, that
the police have run across lately, in the
person of Joseph Miller, of Spencer. Miller
has been employing men to work for him
in different capacities, representing himself
to be an agent of the railroads. He re-
CURED his victims to advance money for
the purchase of uniforms.
His method of operation was to come
from his home, at Spencer, riding as far as
haywood on the train. He would then
walk to West Indianapolis, where he would
hire a buggy and drive into the city. He
engaged Ed Smith, a florist to decorate
cars, promising him salary Of $65 month
On the strength of this promise Smith went
to- the Union Station with him. Here he
demanded SIS from his prospective employe
Tor a uniform. Smith parted with his
money, but got no uniform. Paul Klein

by Miller last Thursday as a baggagema

HELD TO BE COWARDICE
BOARD OF SAFETY HEARS CHARGES
AGAINST TWO POLICEMEN.
PatroImen E. w. Smith, CoIored, and
e. o. Marquette Dismissed-Test of
New La France Engine.

Patrolmen E. w. Smith and e. O. Mar
quette, the former colored, were dismissed
by the Board of Public Safety yesterday
morning on the charge of cowardice, pre-
ferred by superintendent Colbert. The evil
dence showed that some days ago the po-
lice were instructed at roll call to arrest
Edward Hathaway who is charged with
grand larceny and burglary. Marquette
and Smith met Hathaway in drug store.
Hathaway recognized Marquette, with
whom he had some acquaintance, and the
two left the drug store together. In the
meantime Smith was informed by the drug
gist as to the identity of the stranger.
Marquette called Smith from the drug
store. Hathaway told Smith that he was
Chicago policeman, and handed him a
volver, remarking that that was the kind
he used. Marquette says that Hathaway
had Smith covered with another revolver.
so that it was dangerous to try to arrest
him at that moment. At any rate, no at
tempt was made to arrest Hathaway be-
fore leaving the drug store. Marquette ac-
companied him to his home. on Highland
place, where he left him and returned to
find Smith. They returned to the house to-
gether, in company with a Merchant po-
liceman. Marquette saw Hathaway
street-car and Jumped aboard to get him,
but the latter jumped to the ground and
ran away. firing Several shots were ex-
changed, but Hathaway escaped.
Both officers were represented by attor-
neys. John w. Healing, on behalf of Mar
Quette, moved that the charges be dis
missed. as they were not so specific as re-
CURED by the rules governing the police
department but President Mcguire held
that that little formality was not enough
TO invalidate the proceedings, and the case
was heard. Several officers who testified
including the Superintendent. stigmatized
the action of Smith and Marquette as rank
cowardice Marquette and Smith were ap-
pointed since Mr.. Taggart became Mayor.

For some weeks mysterious rumors have
been afioat as to what Eugene Debs is or is
not doing in this campaign. He has been
fitting about the country more or less
without saying much, and it was reported
his well-known organizing genius in put
ting together a secret organization for the
purpose of helping along the Bryan cam
paign. 1t develops that his effort is not to-
ward an organization of a general charac-
ter, but he and his followers are trying
hard to infuse new life into the a. r. u.
and use it to forward Bryans chances.
Last night secret meeting of the In
dianapoiis branch of the A. r. Z. was held
on South Pennsylvania street, presided
over by James Moriarty, who came TO the
surface during the troubles two years ago,
and has since retired from all railroad
work and keeps a saloon. The meeting was
meant to be very secret. and admission
was gained by cards carefully distributed
to the men who were members oftthe order
at the time of the strike. and to a large
number of the more radical free-SllVer men

spurn all such efforts to coerce and control

say that what the magnates controlling
the roads wanted was just the thing they
did not want, and were advised to join the
clubs and then on election day put in their
votes for Bryan and silver.

his horse. The animal was snugly housed
in his stall, when Mr.. Davidson went to
the loft to throw down some hay into the
Manager. He worked about in the dark for
a few moments and then started to climb
down to the ground again. Before his
feet were fairly off the ladder he was
somewhat startled by harsh voice crying
out: Here, l want YOU The next in

and struggled to free himself.
Realizing that he was the victim of a

could not see his antagonist, but decided
that he was a negro. from the fact that
he had woolly hair, a fact of which Mr.

the alley they ran TO Seventh street when
the negro turned out of the alley and es-

THE TEST TOO LATE.
Showed the City Paid Too Much for
the Ahrens Engine.

Since the competitive test between the
new La France $4,000 fire engine and the
$1,000 Ahrens engine purchased by the
Board of Safety some time ago, a good
many people are asking why the board did
not have the test made before the Ahrens
engine was bought, the test yesterday
demonstrated that the La France engine
is much better than the other, and cost
500 less. After the test was concluded the
board notified Asa L. La France that his
engine would be accepted and compli-
mented him for the excellent showing it
had made.
The La France engine was pitted against
the old No. 6 Ahrens and the $1,000 engine
last purchased. With the first four tests
were made and six with the second. First
two streams were taken from each engine
through one and one-fourth-inch nozzles
and then Siamese nozzles were substituted
through which one and one-half-inch
streams were concentrated. This was in
creased to one and INSTRUMENTATION
streams when the test was made with the
second Ahrens engine. In every case the
La France engine threw the water higher
and further than the others. The contest
ended by attaching the engines to the
water tower. Again the La France proved
the stronger. At one point in the contest
Mr.. La France claimed that unfair adj
vantage was being taken by his rivals. 1t
was while both engines were throwing
double streams. 1t was noticed that one
stream from the AhrenS engine was falling
considerably lower than the other. Mr.
La France claimed that the pressure was
partially turned from one stream SO as to
increase that on the other. Even then
both streams from the La France We're
higher Mr.. Ahrens explained that the diff
ference in the streams of his engine was
due to the fact that one line of hose was
attached to the wrong opening.
Mr.. Mcguire, president of the Board of
Public Safety. admits that the $4,000 engine
is better than that for which the city paid
S. co., But he said, 1T is well TO have
both kinds and then you know that you
have the best
When the board advertised for bids some
months ago the La France people submit
ted a bid of $4,000, but it was rejected and
the s., 900 Ahrens engine purchased instead.
At first the Ahrens engine was unSat isfac-
tory. 1t was found that steam could not
be kept up and it was sent back to the
factory for the enlargement of the boiler
The test yesterday demonstrated that if
competitive test had been made before
the board had purchased an engine last
spring it would have been possible to get
a better engine than the one bought 4
a saving to the city of $700.
