TIRED OF BRICKERT.
Business Men Begin a Suit Against a
Democratic Trustee.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
FRANKLIN, Ind, Nov. 18-Late this
afternoon in the Circuit Court suit for the
removal of John r. Brickert as trustee of
White River township was filed by Thomas
Hardin and Henry Smith, taxpayers of the
township. The suit has been expected for
some time. For over year there has been
much talk regarding the condition of the
townships affairs. When the trustees an
nual report was published in August the
showing was unsatisfactory that the tax
payers began at once to agitate the ques-
grand jury considered the matter, but re-
turned no indictment. Some time ago the
taxpayers began to hold public meetings.
and fund to push an investigation was
raised Experts made an examination of
the books during the past month, and
Brickerts bondsmen held several meetings,
but having been made secure by his rel
atives, they stood by him. The taxpayers
committee a few days ago decided to take
action, and they notified him that if he did
not resign by to-day suit would be filed.
He was in town to-day and this evening
announced that he would not resign, and
Miller & Barnett, representing the plain
tiffS, at once filed suit. bitter struggle
in court is expected. There are many
runners regarding the townships affairs and
some express the belief that there are thou
sands of dollars in outstanding orders and
claims. Brickert is Democrat.

ANDERSON Ind, Nov. Estate Factory
Inspector McAbee to-day completed the
work of inspecting the gas-belt factories
and seeing that the anti-child labor laws
are being enforced. He goes to Evansville
for his next work. He has been instrumental
in displacing eight hundred children who
were employed in gas-belt factories and the
truant officers have placed them in school.
There are still about one hundred under the
age of fifteen in the manufacturing plants
of the gas belt, but they will be discharged
just as fast as the manufacturers can Sc

A CVOQID
Cure

is what many a mother is looking
for; something absolutely safe and
reliable, that will disarm her terror
of that dread rafting, strangling
cough, so fearful to the mother, SO
fatal to the child. Ayers Cherry
Pectoral is Group cure that can be
relied on. Thousands say so.
MRS. W. J. DICKSON ('Stanford Evelethl1
writes from Truro, N. S.: -
"That terror of mothers, the startling,
croupy cough, never alarmed me SO long as
had bottle of Ayers Cherry Pectoral in the
house.
Eve have used Ayers Cherry Pectoral in
our family for years. Once when our boy
had severe attack of Group, we thought
that he would die. But we broke Up the
attack by using Ayers Cherry Pectoral."

FRANTZ ELECTROCUTED
BESSIE LITTLE'S MURDERER PUT TO
DEATH IN THE OHIO PRISON.
Current of Electricity Applied Three
Times Before Life Was Pronounced
Extinct-Other Crimes.

COLUMBUS. o., Nov. 19.-Albert j.
Frantz, the murderer of Bessie Little, of
Dayton, was electrocuted in the annex at
the Ohio penitentary at 1922 this morning
1t was late in the afternoon before Gov
ernor Bushnells message refusing to inter-
fere was received. Frantz was visited dur
ing the day by a brother and sister, and
after the parting, at 8 o'clock, Frantz
tainted. He was soon restored to con-
seriousness, however and had fully re-
gained his composure by the time for the
electrocution. He took his place in the
chair at 1918 without apparent tremor. The
officials were slow in fastening the straps
and adjusting the electrodes. The first
shock did not cause death, and the current
was applied again three times before life
was pronounced extinct at 1922.

The crime for which Frantz paid the PEN
atty was the murder, on Aug. a. 1896, of
Bessie Little. a young girl whom he had
betrayed. Her body was thrown into the
Saltwater river, where it was found by Il.
L. Harper, jr., while bathing. The unravel-
ing of the crime and the trial furnished one
of the most exciting chapters in criminal
history in Ohio. FrantZ made an alleged
confession in which he claimed the girl
had shot herself while they were out riding,
and, fearing he would be charged with muir
der, he had thrown the body in the river.

PARAMOUNT, Ind, Nov. 1S.-At the reg
ular business meeting of the Society of
Friends here yesterday Walter c. Rush
presented an offering stating, in substance,
that he was sorry that he had touched
property which did not belong to him and
asked that he be retained as member of
the church so long as they considered him
eligible Rush was not present at the meet
ing but the offering was made by his wife
She said that he was very anxious to re-
ceive the forgiveness of the church and
meaning by the word touched is rather
obscure but is thought by many people. to
have referred to the saloon property be-
longing to Luther Morris, which he adj
mitted helping to dynamite here in 1893.

The object is to endeavor to abolish

interest bearing debt, which would
amount to s400,00O,O 900 in nd
dition to what our government now

l~iberately incur Il debt ut interest and
with the money pay off II debt which
bore no interest at all, and which no.
body was hurting him to pay oF-he
would consider it a mere joke. But
the money bags who will meet at In
dianapolis are not joking. They have
been emboldened by their victory in
the presidential election and they
deem this an appropriate moment to
make further demands upon the Nc
R;nley administration and upon the
people.
And for what reason do they de-
mand this act OF follyH Why are not
government paper dollars better any
day than bank promises to pay? Why
should VIZ borrow OF the national

THE UNITED sTATEs SENATOR.
SHIP.

Before, and for some weeks after
the general election last November,
there was only one candidate in me
field for United States Senator from
Nevada. and that candidate was Sen
ator John p. Jones, who desires to
succeed himself. BY common consent
the silver men and Democrats accept
ed him, as he is an acknowledged
champion OF the silver Gus in and
out OF Congress. The State Conven-
ton which assembled at Elko, nomin-
ated a fusion electoral ticket, and in.
dorsed by platform without dissent
ing voice, the candidacy OF Senator
Jones. Tho Silver Party County
Conventions, wherever held, did like
wise, and in fact, it was generally
understood, that he was the choice
OF the Silver md Democratic parties,
rs well as OF the Silver Republicans
for United States Senator. That tho
Endorsement Of Senator Jones was i'll
accord with the popular sentiment
was conclusivcly demonstrated ut the
ballot box. and the result was an
nounced by the press OF the State US a
victory for Senator Jones.
Since the election and during the
absence OF Senators and Repre-
sentative, who were at the time in
California, 4 decided change in favor
OF the election Of men who could at.
ford to spend more OF their time
among their constituents manifested
itself throughout the State, and at the
solicitation OF ardent advocates OF
"home rule" doctrine, Hon. George S.
Nixon Of Humboldt him
self 4 candidate for United States
Senator. As no local conventions
were held in several counties i'll the
State, Mr.. Nixon was led to believe !
that the members OF the Legislature |
from those counties were %unpledged, |
and as ali are silver men it was sup.
posed that they were free to vote for
whom they pleased. provided, OF
course, that the aspirant for the Sen
atorship was for free coinage. Now,
it appears. that such is not the case.
and that n large majority Of the
Legislature is pledged either by plat
form or declaration Of both, to sup
por. Senator Jones. That being the
fact, it ia not probable that Mr.. Nix |
on will be u candidate for tn. SEN
a~torship, as he is too honorable a
man to expect the support OF men
pledged to Senator Jones.
Briefly stated, the situation is this:
The Silver party and the Democratic
party were virtually the same in the
recent campaign. The State tickets
Of both were the same, as were several
OF the county tickets. Tho State
Convention indorsed the candidacy
of Senator Jones. Il fact which doubt
less escaped the attention OF Nj. Nix
on, or he would not himself
rs being in the field for Senator
al it would be n violation Of pledges
to the public for the Silver party.
which will have a large majority on
joint ballot in the Legislature, to elect
any other person than John =. Jones
