A STAND ON THE CURRENCY.
Republicans May Consider II at the
Love Feast Tuesday.

The Republican '1ove feast next Tues
day will be held at Morrison's Hall, on Mon
ument place, just north of the new Journal
building. Secretary Mansfield, of the state
committee, was in the city yesterday COM
pleting arrangements for the meeting. The
correspondence of the committee, he de-
clared, indicated that nearly, if not quite,
all the well-known Republicans of state
reputation would be in attendance. Mr.
Mansfield has announced his intention of
retiring from the secretaryship OF the COM
mittee, and there is much talk among the
members of the committee of delegating the
work Of selecting a secretary to the new
chairman, who may be elected in January
1t is argued that this is the method of the
national committee, and that it centers the
responsibility in the chairman, and is con-
ducive to harmonious and systematic work
in the committee.
''Our correspondence" said Mr.. Mansfield
yesterday, Indicates that it is the very
general desire Of the leaders in Indiana
that bold and aggressive stand be taken
on the money question at this meeting. 1t
is not likely that resolutions will be adopt
ed for it is not a delegate meeting, and
they would bind nobody, but my reading of
the letters received within the past two
months, and my personal interviews with
prominent Republicans, leads me to believe
the attitude this :, ate should take in favor
of currency reform. No other State is so
closely identified with the movement for
sound currency as is Indiana, and our peo-
pie feel that we cannot afford at this criti-
cal juncture to take any backward step or
vary from the line OF policy pursued in the
past"
Chairman McCulloch, of the Republican
state committee, made a call upon the state
officials yesterday and extended them a spe-
cial invitation to attend next weeks con-
ference. There are few members OF the par
ty from over the State in the city at this
time, but from all accounts there will be
a great attendance of them by Monday
night as the interest in the conference is
widespread. The invitation sent out Is of
a general character, though a few have been
specially urged to be present. Mr. McCul-
loch made a call on ex-President Harrison
and endeavored to obtain a promise from
him to participate in the gathering, but the
general is so pressed with private engage
ments that it Is pre- liable he will be unable
TO be present.
1t is expected that the conference will have
an important bearing on the senatorial con-
test. The various aspirants will all be pres
ent and their friends will put in their best
efforts.

to Have FraudulentIy Obtained a
Fiye-Hundred-DOII Loan.

At o'clock yesterday afternoon John 5.
Reid, former real-estate dealer, was ar
rested at the instance of the Indiana Ma
tional Bank on a charge of forgery Nov.
% Reid negotiated a loan of $500 from the
bank and deposited as security a note pur-
porting to be drawn by Mrs. Mary A. Walk
er, and accompanied it with what purport-
ed to be a mortgage on a piece Of North
Illinois-street property. The note, and the
mortgage securing it, were for $500.
Reid obtained the $500 for thirty days.
Tuesday he was summoned to the bank by
Vice President Mckee and informed that in
the opinion of the, bank officials he was a
fraud and a forger. At the same time a
demand was made for the return of the
money. He paid back $107 and was allowed
to go on his promise to return again yes
son county to visit some relatives. True
to his agreement, he returned yesterday,
and was placed under arrest. He declined
to discuss the case.
Mr.. Mckee was asked how he discov-
cred the note and mortgages to be for
geries. He said he had not corresponded
with Mrs. Walker, who is at present re-
siding in Helena, Mont, but had grown
suspicious and had satisfied himself from
other sources that Reid was forger. Mrs.
Walker is the mother of Edward and Lewis
Walker, well known in this city. Reid lives
at 1920 Omer street He formerly had an
office in the Baldwin block, and was a men,

A CHECK FoRGER LECTURED.

ON Good Behavior.

On Good Behavior.
r. M. Dickerson, of Angola, Ind, who has
been in the Marion County Jail for several
weeks awaiting trial for an alleged for
gerry, was released yesterday on his per-
sonal bond and sent back to his family
1t is understood Dickerson will never be
tried, if he conducts himself properly here
after and tries to become a decent citizen.
He was released on the recommendation of
Deputy Prosecutor Afford.
Dickerson was arrested for attempting to
negotiate a check which it was claimed had
been forged. The check bore the name of
E. s. Folsom, general agent of the Phoenix
Mutual Life Insurance Company. DECKER
son offered the check at the office of the
Bird Transfer Company and also tried to
pass 1t on Bert Adams, furnisher on North
Illinois street. Mr.. Folsom pronounced the
check q forgery. Yesterday when the case
was called for trial Messrs. Folsom and
Adams were in the Criminal Court to make
an appeal in behalf of the prisoner. It. de-
veloped that DickerSon has not always been
in hard luck. The people who urged the
court to be lenient in the prisoners case
stated that at one time he was a fine bust
salary as an insurance man. Judge McCray
said to the prisoner that he did not think
he ought to be released. 1t was the opinion
of the court that the man should go to
prison. He said he had no patience with a
man who had every opportunity of making
iiberately to the dogs. The court charged
the prisoner to go home and live right, but
promised to send for him at the first init
nation that he was inclined to do wrong.
