TORE UP THE CHECK,
But Harry HuEuIey, of Terre Haute,
Is Held for Forgery.

A few days ago young man by the name
of Harry Huguley presented a check at the
Navin pharmacy at the corner of Washing
ton street and Senate avenue and received
S. in cash for it and a due bill for $40, the
check being drawn for $25 1t purported to
be drawn by a well-known citizen. Huguley
was not unknown to the clerk. Huguley dis
appeared and it was learned, it is claimed,
that the check was a forgery. Last night
Huguley returned paid back the s.. surren-
dered the due bill and received the check.
This he was tearing up when Patrolmen
Gerber and Crannon, who had warrant for
Huguley, came in and arrested him.
1t is apparent that charge of forgery
cannot be sustained against the young man
here, but it is the intention of the police to
turn him over to the Terre Haute authori-
ties, for it is claimed that he is wanted
there for a similar offense. Last night ex-
Judge Taylor of the Vigo Superior Court.
called at the police station before Huguley' 5
arrest and asked that the police make
special effort to locate him. 1t seems that
Huguley's mind is affected and that Judge
Taylor is his guardian. Huguley has been
in this city since March, and with his wife,
has been living at 21S West Maryland street.

burglaries and robberies. Two Of the men
are John Green and Caddie Church. They
were sent to the renitantiary, once for
burglarizng Frank Nesler & Co.'S tailoring
establishment and were only lately re-
leased. Walter Reeves, another of the four,
was given a term in the penitentiary for
robbing a man in the police station. He
took $3.50 from drunken man who was put
in the cell with him. he was given a work
house sentence and managed to take the
money in with him without the fact being
through him the police learned it. He was
searched and the money found, and he
was given a term in prison. The other man
was Albert Hines, fellow who has served
several terms in the workhouse. The de-
tectives found them sitting together in
Military Park, and believing they were
planning a game locked them up.

In commenting on the demoralized condl-

corning a reorganization: Renewed talk

policy of the management, cannot be

Clerk Stuckmeyer in His Speech
Boosted of Sunday Amusements.
A Taggart meeting was held in the Four
teenth ward last night in a hall over a
saloon at Fountain square. About one hum
dred men stood about the platform at the
end of the hall and listened to the mayor.
Mr.. Taggart devoted a considerable part
of his talk to Throwing cologne on Po-
ice Judge Cox. He said the little judge
and City Clerk Stuckmeyer were the most
faithful officers under his administration.
The mayor talked about the South-sde
market and promised this institution right
soon a promise made a long time ago.
After speaking a few minutes, the mayor
pleaded an engagement at another ward
meeting and hoped the audience would re-
main and listen to the police judge and the
city clerk. A good portion of the mayor $
following accompanied him from the hall,
but some of them came back. City Clerk
Stuckmeyer made a speech in which he
''jolled" the police judge extensively. The
speaker talked about the liberal policy of
the administration which has made it pos
sible for excursionistS to come to the city
on Sunday and find plenty of amusement"
Police Judge Cox at the opening of his
speech exclaimed dramatically: Il am a
Democrat" This assertion he reiterated
frequently.

The meeting of the Western lines at Chi
cago, called for the purpose of re-estab-
fishing confidence in the passenger situa-
tion has adjourned without accomplishing
anything. The resolution introduced at the
session Tuesday providing for the with
drawal of all excessive commissions was
passed in a modified form, and no effort
will be made to stop the large commissions
that are being paid on north Pacific coast
traffic. 1t was agreed that the excessive
commissions in the eastern part of the
Western Passenger Association territory
should be withdrawn at once. beginning to-
day. 1t was felt that with the existing
complications between the Union Pacific
and the Oregon Short-line and none of the
transcontinental roads represented at the
meeting, with the exception of the Santa
Fe, that ii would be useless to attempt to
take any action regarding transcontinental
traffic. The decision reached regarding

Notwithstanding the agreement OF the
Western lines on commits SONS, the general
