TWO RIVAL BARREL HOUSES.
What MIR. Quigley Says of the ALLEGED
Law-Brealxing.

Superintendent Quigley said yesterday
that the statement in yesterdays Journal
that the law was being grossly violated
by the barrel house at the corner of Massa-
chusetts avenue and Vermont street was
not true and that the charge made against
the patrolmen running that beat and indi
rectly against the police department was
unfair. He says there are two sides of the
story.
II have been getting complaints about
that barrel house for some time he said,
land have investigated them. The police
have gone through the place at all hours
at night and on Sundays. Once we heard
there was gambling going on there and |
sent sergeant and several patrolmen to
investigate. 1t was on the same night that
a raid was made on Bates street. The
ofncerS went through the house, upstairs
and in the basement, and found no indica-
ton that gambling had ever been carried on
Ihere The wife Of the proprietor became
frightened at the sight of the officers and
tainted. Physicians worked with her for
four hours before she was out of danger
Il have learned the source of these re-
ports. There is absolutely nothing in them.
This barrel house started there since an
other one opened a few doors away and
the reports come from the rival place of
business. The proprietor of the other place
practically told me to-day that he had cir
culated the reports
Patrolman Sangston yesterday denied the
truth of the statement given 30 the Jour
nal by r. Sellers to the effect that he had
called Sangstons attention to the place at
a time when five men were drinking in the
saloon on Sunday, and that he (ssangston)

but was not sentenced Testimony in the
Wilson case was heard in the afternoon.

HOW LOVE WAS CAUGHT.
A Companion of His BoyhOOd Days
Tipped Him on.

Robert Love, who was brought here yes
terday from Los Angeles. Cal, to stand trial
for the murder of George Anderson refused
to talk about himself or his case yesterday.
A letter from his attorney, who seems to
take an interest in Love, awaited him and
warned him not to talk. From Detectives
Colbert and Stout it was Termed that an
Alabama negro had been responsible for
Loves arrest. Love reached a ranch near
Los Angeles about six weeks after the muir
der. There he met a colored man from
Alabama, whom he had known from his
boyhood days. This man knew him and
knew he was wanted here, and Love thinks
he gave the police the information which re-
suited in his arrest. Love is a light tan
negro, we'll known among his former assoc
ciates here as "Yaller." He is about thirty
years old. He killed a colored man from
Terre Haute known as speedy George"

BOTH LIBERTY AND BRIDE
THIS is WHAT JUDGE M'CRAY'S DECI-
SION MEANT TO RUGENsTEIN.
His Sweetheart Proved an AIibi for
Him-WOuId Not Marry Till
He Was Cleared.

In the Criminal Court yesterday Judge
McCray found Charles Rugenstein not
guilty of the charge of grand larceny. BY
this decision young Rugenstein not only
stands vindicated before the world. but he
wins bride. Since last June this decision,
locked in the breast of the court, has stood
between Rugenstein and the woman he
loved. The case is d peculiar one.
Last summer young Rugenstein, who is Il
plumber, in the employ of knight & Jillson
happened to be on South East street one
day when he came across one of his friends
IA man named Shawn a saloon. drinking
more than was good for him. Rugenstein
took Shaw in charge, and tried to get him
home. He finally succeeded. Next morning
Shaw missed his gold watch, and Rugen-
stein was arrested on the charge of stealing
the timepiece. When the case came to
trial the state produced a pawnbroker who
said that Shaw's watch had been pawned to
him shortly after the theft. The pawn
broker thought he could identify Rugen-
stein as the man who had put up the
watch. AT the same time the police, who
arrested Rugenstein testified to having
found u pawn check in his pocket. The
check was produced in court, but the
prisoner proved that it was given him by
dHOInef pdWnDfOkers 10 WHO'LL nc udu
pawned an old silver watch, his own
property
At the time of his arrest Rugenstein was
engaged to be married His sweetheart
lived on Ohio street, near State street. and
belonged to good family. When the pawn
broker claimed to identify him as the man
who had pawned Shaw's watch Rugenstein
informed his attorney that his affianced
bride was the only person who could save
him. The young woman was brought into
court and testified that Rugenstein was at
her home, in her own parlor, at the iden-
teal time he was alleged to have pawned
the watch Judge McCray and the states
attorneys were inclined to believe the girls
story, and the court said he would take the
matter under advisement. The case was
tried in June. Rugenstein and the girl
were to have been married during the sum-
mer. but after the trial the young woman
frankly told her sweetheart she could not
marry him until he cleared himself OF the
charge. Both understood that their future
happiness depended upon the final decision
of Judge McCray. Rugenstein has been out
on bond since his arrest. Yesterday Judge
McCray called in Herod & Herod. the ac-
cused mans attorneys, and informed them
their client was acquitted. A telephone
message was sent to Rugenstein, ana he In
turn communicated the glad news to MS
sweetheart.

SEWAGE BEDS FOR WINAMAC.
DIR. Hurty's Advice--The Pollution of
Streams.

Dr. Hurry, secretary of the State Board
of Health, yesterday wrote a letter to the
Boards of Health of Winamac and Pulaski
county, advising that the most sanitary
sewerage system known to modern science
be put in the town of Winamac. The ad-
vice was solicited, and had already been
given verbally in Il talk which DR.. Hurry
made to the City Council of Winamac re-
Gently. In his letter Dr. Hurry stated that
there was no law in the State to prevent
cities and towns emptying sewage in rivers
but that such cities and towns were liable
for any damages which such a course might
cause. An instance of this kind was cited
in the case of Test against the city of Rich
mond, recently decided The plaintiff had
n mill below the city. located there thirty
seven years ago. During the last few years
the sewage from Richmond rendered the
river water unfit for the uses to which he
had put ii in the mill. 1t cost the city of
Richmond $4,000 in judgment and costs
enough to have more than paid for mod
ern sewage beds.
Dr. Hurry described the sewage beds as
he had seen them in successful use in cities
OF the East, and as they have been used
Ia Europe for thirty years. For the town of
Winamac two beds q hundred feet square
each would suffice. The bed is made by
simply eXcaVating to a distance of about
five feet and filling the excavation with
well-screened gravel Under the gravel is
y main QfalQ pipe connected at intervals
of about ten feet with lateral pipes. The
sewage is poured upon the gravel bed and
while at first somewhat of nuisance, very
shortly there is formed vegetable growth
through the gravel which destroys all poi
scnous matter, and when the sewage seeps
through and reaches the drain pipes ii is
absolutely harmless. Two beds are re-
CURED in order that they may be allowed
to rest alternately. DIR. Hurry says he has
seen these beds with cultivated fields above
them. The ground can be used for growing
f4f, lnc fnf oil a
scnAxce of revenue. An instance of the kind,
and Nhe only one known in Indiana, is at
the Northern Hospital for the Insane.
Fori a city the size of Indianapolis not
less shan thirty-two acres of land would be
reqptHed TO dispose of sewage in this man
per The first cost would be considerable,
but it would pay for itself in thirty years
from leases. Dr. Hurry says, besides proba-
bly, saNing thousands of lives DIR. Hurry
says the time Will come when there Will
be laws forbidding cities polluting streams
with sewage as they now do; that 1t will be

CONTRACTOR FRANKIE GONE.
Councilman Little Goes to Chicago 10
Find Him.

Charles c. FRANKIE a street contractor
has disappeared and there are strange
rumors afloat concerning him. He was last
seen in this city on Friday, Nov. 10. He Is
believed to be in Chicago and to that city
T. w. Little the recently elected member
of the City Council, has gone in search
of him. Little's interest in him is that OF
a bondsman 1t was on account of the tact
that Little was on Frankes bond for some
improvements that his eligibility as MEM
her of the Council was questioned. The
amount of the bond which has Mr.. Little
as surety is not large 1t covers the grad
ing and crawling of Bryan avenue, in Jack
son Park, for distance of two blocks. 1t
was said at Mr.. Littes office yesterday
that no money had been drawn on account
of the improvement by Mr.. FRANKIE; that
the improvement would go on without in
terruption, and that there would be no
chance for Mr.. Little to lose anything. He
has gone to Chicago partly for the purpose
of inducing Mr.. FRANKIE to return, if, in
deed it develops that the man had not such
an intention when he left the city:
Mr.. FRANKIE lived at new 6S keystone
avenue. His wife was seen there yesterday
afternoon, as we'll as their six children, the
eldest of which is but fourteen years old.
Mrs. FRANKIE said she did not know what
to think of her husbands absence. lie leIt
home as usual Friday morning" She said.
He has been working hard all summer
and during the fall and has spent little
time at home during the day. But he rarely
missed coming home to dinner at noon, and
was always home at night. On Friday he
did not come home to dinner, and at night
| received d note from him saying that
he would be away all night, and that he
might be away d whole week; for me not
to worry about him, as he was figuring
on big contract did not worry, nut was
a little anxious when he stayed away day
after day. When Friday came round again
and he did not return became alarmed and
went to see Mr.. Little. But l still thought
he would come back / cannot understand
he would come back. 1 cannot understand it.
Our domestic relations have always been the
pleaSantest He never gave me a cross word
and there were no differences between us.
He always was so fond of the children
too
Mrs FRANKIE talked about the matter
coolly. About her chair romped two little
fat and notwithstanding children a boy and
a girl, while the eldest child, a boy stood
respectfully at a distance and listened to
the conversation. Mrs. FRANKIE said that her
husband owned the home in which they
live and also owned number of teams and
wagons. She is comfortably situated and
will not suffer in the absence of her hus-
band

bers of good families, and strong effort
IS to be made in their behalf 1t is under

against them.
Ex-Representative NJ d. White or Mike
White, as he is Familiarity known over the
State. is here to urge executive clemency
in behalf of Steele and Sidiner Mr.. White
enjoys the distinction of having appeared
IN tWenty-elght murder cases since he began
practicing law in Indiana. He prosecuted
John Coffee, who was hung at Crawfords-
vile several years ago. The Coffee execu-
ton was CHASTITY affair, and the man was
really hanged three times before life was
extinct. The trouble was due to a defective
rope that broke under his weight. A man
named Dennis was arrested with Coffee, and
had his trial Immediately after Coffee was
convicted. Dennis was also found guilty
and sentenced to death Mr.. White prose-
cuted Dennis, but in the latter case he
found himself confronted by a peculiar sit
uaton He made up his mind at the begin
ming of the trial that Dennis was an inno-
cent man, but, being an honest lawyer, the
attorney did his duty by the state. His
prosecution of Dennis was vigorous, but it
was noticeable fact that during his argu-
ment Lawyer White refrained from asking
the jury to fix any particular punishment.
Immediately after Dennis had been sem
fenced to die his attorneys bestirred them,
selves in an effort to get a new trial. and
finally succeeded. The lower court was re-
versed and the case sent back to Montgom-
cry county. Attorney Mike White, act
ing for the state, at once went before the
court and recommended that Dennis be re-
leased. He declared the belief that the man
was innocent and announced that the state

Court" remarked Attorney White yester-
day, in talking of the Dennis trial, Il made
up my mind that in the event it was not re-
versed / would go to Governor Gray person
ally and tell him that Dennis was an in
nocent man. / believed it, although prose-
cuted him. I should have said to Governor
Gray that to hang the man would be muir
