THEY GO AFTER BURTON
SUPT. COLBERT AND CHIEF DETEC-
TIVE SPLANN LEAVE TOWN.
Expected to Come Back from Nash
Vile with the Murderer of Frank
Redmond.

Superintendent Colbert of the city police
department, and Chief of Detectives Splann
were seen to board J., M. & I. train early
yesterday morning and leave the city. AL
though the officials did not announce their
departure or just where they were bound
for, it is strongly suspected they started
for the southland. Information received
from Nashville in the last day or two leads
to the belief that the police officials will
not stop until they reach that city and
that when they return they will be accom-
panied by Burton, the self-confessed muir
derer of Fireman Redmond.
It is understood that the Governor of
Tennessee has at last consented to give up
Burton, who is serving a sentence in the
penitentiary of that State for larceny. The
Indianapolis police have been trying to get
hold of Burton ever since his confession to
Superintendent Colbert early in the sum-
mer. The confession was made in the prison
at Nashville. Mr.. Colbert has made three
different trips to Nashville after Burton
and each time has left the city believing
the Governor of the State would pardon
Burton so that he could be brought here.
The last time the Indianapolis chief Of po-
lice visited the Tennessee Governor that Of
fetal dismissed him, after long talk, with
a wave OF the hand and a suave smile,
promising to let the indianapolis police
hear from him in few weeks. Since then
nothing has been made public by the de-
partment of this city concerning the case
except that no word had been received
from Governor Taylor. However, the quiet
manner in which Chief Colbert and Detec-
tive Spann left the city, coupled with the
information from Nashville concerning the
present attitude of Tennessee's chief execu-
tive, is pretty strong evidence that the
police officials do not expect to return

THE MEETING A FIZzLE.
'TaILy Bill" Patterson and Few
Others at Silver Conference.

u
Others at Silver Conference.
The liking Of the push" and his cohorts
held a general state conference of all the
prominent friends of silver" in one of the
bedrooms at the Grand Hotel yesterday aft
ernoon and the bedroom was not crowded
at that There were present w. P. Smith,
John W. Kern, "Cadf' Buskirk, S. E.
Morss, "Talky Bill" Patterson, Parks Mar
tin, DOC" Callen, r. c. Bell, F. ]. Van
Vorhis, S. e. Ralston Hugh Doherty, j. t.
Tanning, two or three Democratic and
Populist editors of out-of-town papers, and
a few other persons not so well known
to fame. Allen w. Clark, of Greensburg.
called the meeting to oyder and announced
that it had been called for no particular
purpose, further than to look over the field
and see what could be done to further the
cause of free silver. He invited expressions
from everybody present and brief expert
ences" were given to the assembled mourn
ers by Messrs. Kern, Morss, Ralston, Van
Norhis, Bell and others.
Nobody endeavored to explain the diver
gence of prices in wheat and silver, but
they confined themselves to talking about
the organization Of silver clubs. Each of
the speakers declared that the cause of
ever 1t was, and the way TO push 1t was
by the organization of a club in every
township in the State
in the speeches. Even '"Talky Bill Patter-
son failed to make much of an impression
when he declared that he intended to vote
the Democratic ticket. There were too many
there who knew he had done it before and
why he had done it. Henry Seyfried got
ripple of applause when he declared that
Wilson, Holt ana the other local gold bugs
had formed their city organization for the
purpose of defeating Taggart, while pro-
Tossing friendship for him.
The sensation of the conference developed
in the evening when the advisory committee
held meeting behind closed doors and AL
len w. Clark, liking of all the push" an
nonnced that he desired to resign the chair
manship of the league. 1t is so unlike him
to let go of anything that this announce
ment created a profound sensation. How
ever. they knew he was in earnest when he
admitted that he was going to be candI
date for clerk Of the Supreme Court and it
was for this reason he wished to resign.
Then the question of a successor was
preached and the brilliant scheme of elect
ing Parks NJ. Martin, chairman of the DEM
ocratic state committee to the honorable
position Of president of the league was sug-
gested and discussed in all its phases. 1t
was alluring in the fact that it would ire
vocably tie up the party to the work of
the league and make it wholly responsible
for the expenses and other follies of the
league. 1t was finally determined to feel
the party on this subject before the Decem-
Der meeting, and if it were found possible,
to carry out the plan.

the Broad Ripple car line makes its first
turn east of Meridian street, near new
Thirty-eighth street, and stopped the car
which left the Union Station at 10 o'clock
last night. Before Motorman Jesse Ringer
observed that the men wore masks his car
was almost at a standstill, and a moment
later one of the masked men had presented
a revolver to the motorman's face. Don't
you move an inch,'' was the command. The
motorman obeyed.
The second bandit sprung to the rear
platform and demanded of Conductor jesse
Day all the valuables in his possession.
The muzzle of the revolver held by the
first robber was tilted now and then so as
to take in range that included both the
motorman and the conductor. 1t was ready
for business at the first sign Of resistance
whether it might come from motorman or
from conductor. The second man seemed
to be the cashier for the firm, and by the

make his contribution. He had $50 in his

IDEAL FIRE INSURANCE.
Governor Mount Speaks of the Mutual
Company at His Home.

Governor Mount, who has just returned
from a meeting of the Mutual Fire Insur-
ance Company of Montgomery and Foun-
tain counties, held at Charlottesville on last
Tuesday, speaks in enthusiastic terms of
the success attained by this institution.
During the last twenty years" he says,
1.-THE cost of Insurance in this company has
not exceeded one-third the regular cost of
fire insurance in the old line companies.
During the last ten years the cost has been
60 cents for each 81, 200 worth of property
insured. This company under the man
agement of good business men, has avoided
II ushroom growth. The amount of policies
now out is less than $1,000, 000.'
Governor Mount, who mas served as
president of this company for more
than half of its period of existence,
never received a salary to exceed Sc dollars
in any one year. All losses have been
promptly paid and no suit has ever been
instituted by or against the company 1t
is doubtful if any company in the State
can show a record for cheap and reliable
Insurance that can equal this mutual COM
pany.

INCORPORATION FEES.
Attorney Generals Interpretation of
Building and Loan Feature.

The secretary of state received a check
for $l2 and demand for a charter from
the Gas City Building and Loan Associa-
ton, of Petersburg, and which has capt.
tai of about 100000, but refused to issue
it on the ground that $l2 was not sufficient
fees under the new law, which went into
effect on July 1. The attorney general is re-
ported as advising the secretary of state to
charge s. for the first $4,000 cf capital and
$50 for each succeeding $4,000. But after
hearing the demand of the Petersburg
Company he advised the secretary of state
to issue the certificate on the basis they
demanded, s. for each $4,000 Of capital
Three other building and loan associations
have paid the demands OF the secretary Of
state under the first Interpretation of the
law by the attorney general, one of whom
paid S65 more than was legal and the State
Will have 10 refund the same.
In his second Interpretation of the law

stock and original stock

The extravagant claims of the Citizens
Street-railroad Company to the use of the
streets of the city have been successfully

Court Of the State. Large additions, both
in territory and population. have been made

The asphalt ring has been broken so that
the people now get asphalt streets at great

these reasons we think that a change in
administration at the present time is not
demanded by the best interests of the city.
We do not mean to make any extravaganza
claims, but we feel that Mayor Taggarts
service to the city entities him to an in
dorsement at the hands of the people. And
so we urge them to vote for him. We
believe that a fair study of his administra-

critic Will convince such student that in
spite of any defects he might note, the
mayor has been animated solely by a de-
sire to do his duty in an honest, broad
minded way to the people whose servant he
has been. We think that the interests of
Indianapolis are more likely to be advanced

by the election of Mr.. Harding and we

was crowded with people of all classes dur

Too much cannot be said in praise Of the
enterprise of the Progress Company and
