COL. DOWNING AND Mr.. AUSTIN
Claims of the Former i'm Regard to
Rouse Plant Deal.

Mayor Taggart and Colonel Downing
called at the Journal office yesterday to
take exceptions to the statement made by
Edward A. Austin, ex-member of the Board
of Public Works. published Tuesday morn
ing. The mayor declared that he was not
cognizant of any of the affairs of the Rouse
estate until the matter of Austin's connec-
ton with the concern became a subject of
newspaper comment over the Tomlinson
Hall contracts; that Austin declared to him
that he was not interested in the concern.
and that the first knowledge he had that he
was was when he discovered from the rec
ord in Justice Lockman's court that Austin
had testified that he was one OF the pur-
chasers of the Rouse plant.
Colonel Downing said it was true that he
was the bondsman of the executrix, and had
bought UP the claims against the estate, but
that Austin bought the property for him
self.
WAS it your understanding that he was
bidding for himself when he bid in the prop
erty?' was asked.
He did the bidding, and 1 was not near
there" replied Colonel Downing. 1T was
not my understanding that he was bidding
it in for me-"
Did Trip pay the $25 to you to seal the
bargain for his interest after Austin had
bid the property in?' was asked.
Yes, but L turned it over TO Judge Walk
er, the attorney for the estate 1t was he
that Austin dealt with in trying to sell the
estate. He was doing this Of his own
volition, in the expectation of making
commission out of it,"
After some further conversation Mayor
Taggart said: Another thing you might
say is that Mr.. Austin had asked me for a
loan of $500 few Gays ago. and l told him
l could not let him have it,
He also wanted to borrow money from
me-" added Colonel Downing
At the suggestion of MeSsrS. Taggart and
Downing a Journal reporter called upon
Judge Walker last evening. Concerning the
affair he said:
Yes, Mr.. Taggart and Colonel Downing
came to see me about that matter to-day.
l was the attorney for the estate, and L had
promised Austin q commission to sell the
plant. Failing in this he bought it IN at the
public sale
Ibid YOU know of any understanding that
he was buying for Downing" was asked.
No and though l cannot know what
conversation passed between them feel
pretty sure that Austin was buying for
himself A few days after the sale Trip
came to my office and told me he was going
into the firm with T.. A. Austin. Then
came that case before Lockman to repievin
a horse. wherein Austin testified that he
was an owner in rhe concern. l brought
that suit for them Trip afterward told
firm and he could not get along with him.
and he pulled out. He had never given any
notes for his interest ! don't think that
Austin had any idea that he was violating
the charter by this connection with the
firm. and l told TaEgart so at the time

1t is not necessary to have much ac-
quaintance with Democrats to become
aware that there exists a widespread quiet
hostility to Mayor Taggart in the ranks of
his own party. These men are not making
much noise, but to reliable Republicans
they have expressed a determination
to quietly vote against him. Said prom
inent silver Democrat to a Republican
friend several days ago: eff Taggart is
elected it will be by Republican votes.
Hundreds of us have no faith in him. We
believe that he betrayed us last year, and
we propose to get even with him" The
fact that the mayors friends are soliciting
votes for him on personal grounds and are
reported to be trading off other names on
the ticket is evidence that the mayor real
ICES the danger to which he is exposed
through the i'll will of Democrats whom he
has made enemies during the ten years he
has been in office. The change from the
clumsy stamp to the pencil for the marking
Of votes makes it possible to assail weak
or disiked candidate. Two years ago Mr..
Taggart was elected by Republican votes
thousand or fifteen hundred voting for
him, and more than two thousand not vot-
ing. To the Republicans who voted for
him. administration free from ultra
partisanship was promised. The promise
was not kept. There never has been a more
partisan administration. 1t should also be
remembered by Republicans that while Mr..
Taggart and his friends had much to say
before his election about a strictly business
only local, directly after the election his
success was heralded over the country as
a great Democratic victory In view of
these facts, it is no time for Republicans to
re-elect Mr.. Taggart.

THE MAYOR AND THE JUDGE.

The suspension of Superintendent Colbert
is still the topic of general conversation.
Most people agree with the Journal in its
assumption that Mayor Taggart is respon-
sible for the condition of the police and for
Mr.. Colbert. There is no escaping such a
conclusion. Colbert was selected to carry
out the policy which has prevailed. The
police is as the mayor and his associates
would have it. Mr. Colbert was made SUI
perintendent to insure such result. 1t is
fair to assume that when Mr.. Colbert made
war upon Judge Cox he did so know
ing that the Taggart people de-
sired that it be done. Ii Mr.. Colbert laid
the scheme bare it was due to his indis-
erection. If Judge Coxs friends do not so
understand it they are not men Of ordinary
discernment. They must know that the
policy, so far as the force can be influenced
by the superintendent, the subordinate Of
the mayor, is working for the defeat of the
judge. The Journal has no means of know
ing the causes of the hostility of the mayor
and his friends to Judge Cox. 1t may be
that Judge Cox is regarded by the Taggart
regime as a growing rival. He is said to
have large following, made up of those
who are hostile to the Taggart combine
Certain it is that it was the purpose of the
Taggart people, to prevent the nomination
of Judge Cox. and that the scheme was only
abandoned when it was discovered that 1t
could not be done without putting the
mayor in jeopardy. Unable to prevent Judge
Coxs nomination, the indscretion of Su-
perintendent Colbert laid bare the con-
him in the voting booths.
The discovery is said to be giving the
Taggart coterie much alarm. 1t well may,
since of all the men in the administration
the superintendent is Mayor Taggarts man,
and knows and carries out his wishes. Just
now the one wish of the mayor is to secure
reelection, and thus strengthen the i'm
preston that he cannot be beaten in In
dianapolis If while being elected himself,
he could defeat Judge Cox his friends could
make the claim that he is the strongest
man in his party in Marion county, and
thus lay the foundation for claims for Mr..
Taggart's nomination for state treasurer or
even for Governor.
Under these conditions the dismissal Of
Superintendent Colbert should not mislead
the friends of Judge Cox to the extent of
believing that it is done because of disap-
prevail of Mr.. Colbert's open avowal of hos
tility to the judge. To retain him now
would be equivalent to open declaration of
war upon Judge Cox by the Taggart man

A RURAL PATROL.

Since. the affair in Ripley county much has
been said in the papers of the need of
mounted patrols for country roads. 1t is
stated on good authority that our innumera-
BILE miles of country roads are the only
highways in the world which are left abso-
lutely unprotected by night The wonder
is that this very important fact has not at
tracted public attention before. While it is
true that the worst population collects in the
large cities, it is equally true that the most
daring robbers and marauders have oper-
ated in the lonely country. Train rob-
berries have been perpetrated in the most
sparsely settled regions The criminal who
commits crime in the city is regarded as
fortunate if he can reach the open country.
The tramp is the terror of the rural dis
tricts, in which he lives as much of the time
as is possible. In cities the police have an
eye upon all criminals, but who knows any
thing of the lawless element which so often
terrorizes the rural districts? 1t would be
impossible for a gang to escape the officers
Of the law in a city should it undertake to
commit the outrages upon people which
have been perpetrated in Ripley county
and in other counties in Indiana and other
States. The objection to the farm is it's
loneliness, but loneliness often means the
sense of insecurity. The unpatrolled suburbs
of cities are the places where more crimes
are committed and fewer criminals caught,
in proportion to population, than in the
slums of cities which are we'll patrolled.
1t is evident that if some organized force
were maintained for the detection of the
lawless in the rural districts all such crimes
as white-capping would come to an end. 1t
is the very fact that those who commit
such crimes are confident of escaping the
officers of the law which leads them to COM
nit such outrages. If a force could be or
ganized by state law which would insure the
patroling of the roads from time to time,
rather than at regular intervals, there is
reason to believe that anything like organ
lied lawlessness would be prevented. 1t is
certainly a subject which should be dis
cussed, with a view of devising some plan
for rural patrol with a view of asking
legislatures to give it the force of law.
The expense will be the chief objection,
but system giving reasonable security
could be devised which would not be bur-
den to the people when the advantages to
be derived are considered.
