Gen. Lew Wallace was a member OF the
board and suggested certain changes which
became matter of public discussion. afnoll Z
others proposed removal of all the sub
sidiary statues from around the monument,
including the Morton statue. This removal
was the subject of the correspondence mem
toned by Mr.. Morton. At that time l had
not examined the plans and had no knowl-
edge OF changes contemplated, which nave
since been carried out In the improvement
of Monument place. Mr. Morton has no
claim TO. any interest, personal or other
wise, in the statue of Governor Morton
other than the public generally has VINO
have erected the statue, and he has no right
to NEEDLE in this matter. The Board OF
Regents VIII carry out the original design
in conformity with the designs of the artist
and Will not suffer interference In TINS mat
ter; there has been enough interference al
ready and it has not turned out a brilliant
success"
The subsidiary statues of Morton, Harri-
son, Whitcomb and Clark were originally
placed where the converging streets would
intersect the Circle or Monument place. A
large majority of people condemned this ar
rangement as homogeneous. In accordance
with the plans of the architect of the monu-
ment they were moved a few feet from
their first location. These statues are still
a part and parcel of the state soldiers and
sailors monument The records Of the beard
dale. on Feb. 20. 1888, reported that Mrs.
Morton gave her cheerful consent to the
first removal of the statue from the center
to its location. 1t was placed temporarily
on the south rim of the Circle. On May %.
1898, o. T. Morton appeared before the board
and submitted a plan for the pedestal for
the statue and stated to the board that his
mothers wish was that the statue remain
where it then was. On motion by Mr.. Eng
lish it was decided that the Morton statue
be located about twelve feet north from
the south rim of Monument place This mo-
ton was made with the consent of the son
of Governor Morton for himself and other
members of his family, it is said by the
regents.
for the Improvement and completion of
Monument place as originally designed,
terrace and flight of steps, to lead up the
esplanade, were necessary and a promenade
twenty-six feet wide was constructed
around the outer rim of the circle. This
arrangement necessitated the removal of all
of the subsidiary statues a few feet back
and to one side. No member of the families
of the other subsidiary statues have object
ed in the least to this arrangement. These
statues are now in harmonious relation TO
the great monument and are seen to much
better advantage than they were in their
former positions, viz, at the intersection of
the streets with the Circle.

HENDRICKS BLOCK ARREST.
Two Men, Found in n Room, Held as
Suspects.

A few nights ago barber named Rat
cliffe, who lives in the Hendricks block,
complained to the agent that his room had
been entered while he slept and robbed of
SIS. Last night Patrolmen Griffin and Moore
were on the second floor of the bull ling
talking with the agent about the case, when
a medical student, who rooms in the build
ing, came up and told them that a man
had been following him about and acting
suspiciously. Just then the fellow came up
stairs and, keeping his face turned away
from the patrolmen, went on up to the third
floor. The party followed him, but failed to
see him anywhere. The agent declared that
he was not a tenant. A search was made,
but the man was not found. They knocked
on Room 81, which the agent said he had
let to a man named Miller After long
wait, the door was opened and the police
recognized Arthur McMahan as the occu-
pant of the room. The medical student
nodded that he was the man who had fol-
lowed him, and he was ordered to dress.
In the bed, apparently asleep, was another
man who proved to be Otis Harvey. They
were searched, and in Harveys pocket was
found key which fitted the door of Room
81 and also that of Room 80, occupied by
the man who was robbed. The two men
were sent to the police station. Harvey was
charged with being q known thief and Nc
Mahan with aSSociating with thief.
The men both cairned they did not know
each other, but failed to show how they
happened to be in the room together. The
key which Harvey had was not the one
which was given to the man who rented the
room. Harvey claimed that man by the
name of Williams had rented the room and
allowed him to use it. McMahan said a
man named Smith rented the room and that
he just happened to go up there last night.
Harvey is only about twenty-five or twen-
ty-three years old. He gave his address
as 211 Cook street He has served term
in the penitentiary and was but recently
released from Jail after serving a term of
six months for larceny. McMahan lives at
SO Maple street, and is thirty-four years old.
He is we'll known to the police. few
months ago Patroman Mathey arrested him
at McCarty and Meridian streets on a
charge of being drunk and he would have
killed the patrolman had not another police
man CHANGED to come along. He is said to
have served a term in Illinois for highway
robbery.

PHSSEHL Again RAMPANT.
This Time He Gives Policeman "A
Black Eye.

Herman Passehi, the young man who so
viciously assaulted Marion Leatherman
near Millersville about a month ago, was
arrested again yesterday. Patrolman White
found him near the corner of Liberty and
Georgia streets during the morning. He was
III company with a gang which ranks as
side degree of the boo gang" The crowd
was drinking and the patrolman dispersed
it. Later in the day he found Passehl there
again and ordered him away. The fellow
refused to go and was placed under arrest.
He walked short distance with the patrol
man and then turned on him and fought.
White did not know the man and was sur
priSed at the assault PaSSehl struck him
in the eye, daZing him temporarily, and ran.
During the fight someone telephoned to the
STREET. re 3ponded on their wheels. Passehl
had run when they reached the place. Lam
caster caught him at Noble and Louisiana
streets and overcome him after hard fight
in which the patrOlmanS mace was used
freely.
When the prisoner was taken to the Jail
his identity was discovered and Sheriff
Shufelton claimed him. Passehl was re-
Gently indicted by the grand jury for his
assault on I1eatherman and his bondsman
was unable to surrender him. A capias has
been in the hands of the sheriff for several
days. Patrolman White received a black
eye in the encounter.

ingS of a lynching bee in the neighborhood
or the Eaton home.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD "HOODOOED.
Several sensational incidents have oc-
CURED in the neighborhood in which Claude
W. and Sophie Eaton reside. 1t is now little
over a year since that entire part of the
town was greatly stirred by reports that the
Newport residence, opposite Kissels place,
on Capitol avenue. was haunted by strange
visitations. The Newport family after en-
during many nights of terror, abandoned
the house. There was a theory that the
quaking and other queer manifestations
We're caused by natural gas and well was
drilled, which was in itself nine days
wonder. Newport and his family have
again taken possession of the house. 1t
IS said that the manifestations continue.
Then came the murder at kiSsels of Otto
Munger by the negro Wilder, who is still
at various points of the compass YeSter-
day some were inclined to connect Wilder
with the assault on Mrs. Eaten, but Wilder
does not fit the description she gives of her
assailant.
Residents of Capitol avenue say that Fall
creek is sort of thoroughfare for tramps
and 'hoboes,' who use it in getting across
town from the Belt road on the east to an
other branch of it on the west. Capitol ave-
nue. Is not much Travelled at this season of
the year, although there is always a throng
going and coming from the beer gardens
on Fall creek in the summer time.

FINALLY SAW HIS FRIEND.
David Richardson Had to Get Drunl
to Accomplish This.

David Richardson called at the Jail yester-
day morning, early, and asked to see a man
who was arrested the night before on a
charge of drunkenness. Richardson was
slightly under the influence of liquor at the
time, but was not drunk. He was not per-
mitted to see his friend, however, as it was
breakfast time, and Sunday. He became
angry and declared that he would see him.
He was shown the door, and left the place.
