SAMUEL HANWAY DEAD
Ex-TREAsURER OF MARION COUNTY
DIES * ADVANCED AGE.
Constructed Most of the indianapolis
Gravel Streets-A Pioneer and
WelI-Known Citizen.

Samuel Hanway, a pioneer citizen of In
dianapolis, and one of the most widely
known men in Marion county died at his
home on Central avenue, near old Thirtieth
street, at 1926 o'clock last night He was
taken i'll Friday last with what proved to be
a case of strangulated hernia. The hernia
was reduced and removed entirely, and for
a time he showed signs of improvement,
but on account of his advanced age and an
affected heart he was unable to survive the
attack.
Seventy-two years ago on the 14th day Of
October, in log cabin on Maryland street.
opposite what is now Kingan's packing
house, Mr.. Hanway was born. He was for
years one of the leading contractors in In
dianapolis and built the majority of its
gravel Streets His last important contract
was for the construction of the Broad Rip
pie road. .gf
He was an active Republican, and was at
one time treasurer Of Marion county.
Mr. Hanway leaves surviving him wife
and two children by a former marriage, a
son and daughter, Mr.. Thomas Hanway, of
Kansas City, and Mrs. Martha Arnold, of
Malott Park.
Mr. Hanway was the son of Amos Han
way, ST., one of the pioneers who navt-
gated White river from it's mouth to this
place in the spring of 1921. when there were
not more than ten cabins in the settler
ment One of the dead contractors broth
ers was Rev Amos Hanway, a well-Known
Methodist minister. Samuel Hanway's early
life was spent mostly in fishing and in after
years he turned his knowledge of fishing to
a lucrative business by supplying almost
the entire population of Indianapolis with
the fruits of his labor. Mr.. j. H. B. Now
land, in his "reminiscences of early life in
this city. says he has often seen Mr.. Han
way with a wagon heavily loaded with the
finest of White river bass and salmon as a
reward of one days work. In 1861 he was
appointed mail agent on the Jacksonville
line of railroad, but he relinquished the posi-
ton after several years. His election as
county treasurer came in 1876. Mr.. Hanway
was born under the first single roof put
on any house in Indianapolis. He was
member Of Ancient Landmarks Lodge, f.
& A. NJ, and the Scottish Rite.

Educating the MiIlionaires.


Not one millionaire in ten leaves any con-
siderable sum of money for the public good.
About one in twenty-five gives a grudgfng
part of his fortune to education, religion.
or philanthropy, and about one in fifty de-
votes the larger part of his wealth to some
great object. The proportions are improv-
ing, but ii is clear that the education or
these holders of cash and responsibility IS
painfully slow. In some respects there IL
even retrogression, for in former years q
millionaire was almost afraid to die with
out dividing with the public to whom he
owed his riches. IF l give half million
to your church will it help me into heav-
en?'' asked a dying Midas of the Presby-
terrain adviser. Il cannot promise that,
was the reply "but it is worth trying"
Possibly the fact that our later million
aires slightly consider such matters proves
the spread of skepticism. And yet there Is
gfowth. The sums given to philanthropy
ana other higher objects amount to millions
yeafly and the increase goes on because
the number of millionaires grows constant
ly Now the Klondilke will soon give us a
new crop, and the good times will bring
hundreds more above the seven-figure mark.
1t is therefore, the time for active mis-
sionary work. The millionaires must be
taught to feel that they cannot afford to
die without doing something for the rest OF
mankind. May we not expect to find a mil
lionaire mission in Wall street soon?

A FIGHTING BARKEEPER.
PatrOlman Woodward Beaten by One
of the "Best on Earth

Patrolman Woodward, one of the best
known men on the indianapolis police force,
was badly beaten up yesterday evening by
"Bill' Williams, bartender at Odems sa-
loon, corner of Columbia avenue and Ninth
street. A day or two ago Woodward warned
Williams that he must keep away from the
saloon two women who had been seen about
there a good deal.
Yesterday evening Woodward found the
women in a rear room with Williams and
ordered them out. Williams told them to
remain and became involved in a quarrel
with the policeman. Woodward finally
placed Williams under arrest, but the bar
tender watched his opportunity and grab
bed Woodwards mace. He beat the officer
severely and a desperate fight took place.
A saloon keeper across the way came to
Woodward's assistance, and grabbing the
officers revolver told Williams to keep
away or he would kill him. Williams then
made his escape, but later in the evening
gave himself up. Woodward was taken to
his home and Police Surgeon Christian
called. The physician says the .patrolman
will be laid up for several days. The saloon
keeper who assisted Patrolman Woodward
asserted that the saloon is owned by the
Syndicate Brewing Company"

A MATCH GAME OF GOLF.
Contest Between Expert Tweedie and
Mr.. LOckard.

The first match game of golf in this city
was played between Mr.. Tweedie and Mr..
Al Lockard yesterday afternoon. The pre-
liminary match Of twelve holes was played
on the Country Club grounds about three
days ago. Mr.. Tweedie gave Mr..
Lockard one stroke every hole. Mr..
Lockard was in fine form and beat
Mr.. Tweedie two up and one to
play Yesterday afternoon they met
for the final match of twenty-four holes,
Mr.. Tweedie giving Mr.. Lockard one stroke
a hole. The match was played on the Mar
tindale links. Mr. Lockard had hard luck
in getting his bali into nearly all of the
hazards. Mr.. Tweedie won the round by a
score of seven up and six TO play. Mr..
Lockard's play was of a championship
form, but the different difficult bunkers
were too much for him. The Martindale
links are very hard to play over, for the
fact that there are large number of
hazards, some of them being of the worst
kind. In the golfing vocabulary such links
are termed sporting links" Mr. TWeedie
left the city last night for Chicago.

ELOPED FROM LOUISVILLE.
Maymie Mah0ney FOund-Her COM
paniOn an Alleged Crook.

Monday afternoon two table-lookng
girls, apparently between sixteen and eigh-
teen years of age, called at police head
quarters and asked shelter for the night.
They said they were Cornelia and Jessie
Emily, of Seymour. They claimed they had
come to Indianapolis to find employment
and had run out of money. Sergeant
Crane took them to the Door Of Hope and
placed them in charge of Matron Smock.
About midnight a man giving the name
of Cleaver inquired at the police station
for two girls, describing the young women
sent to the Door of Hope. He was accom-
panied to that institution by Special Police
man Nicholson. The stranger told the ma
iron that one of the girls was his sister, and
she was brought down stairs. The girl en-
braced the stranger and called him her
brother. They left the Door of Hope to-
gether. Yesterday morning Matron Smock
related the occurrence at police headquarters
and stated that the stranger was to return
during the morning for the girls clothing.
Sergeant Crane was there when the man
arrived, and arrested him on the charge of
lettering. The girl was found and later in
the day she admitted that her name was
not Emily. She said she was Matte Ma
honey. of No. 226 Eighteenth street, Louis
vile. She further declared that the man
who claimed to be her brother was Howard
Clark, with whom she was infatuated.
She admitted he was married man. The
girl with her. she said, was Cornelia Emily,
of Seymour. When Superintendent Quigley
talked to Clark the latter did not at
tempt to conceal his identity. 1t was then
learned that Clark was some time ago ar
rested in Louisville on the charge OF burg

have been implicated with a gang Of safe

BOOKS OF THE TIME.
Down Our Way, Mrs. jameson Judah
Collection of Sketches.

This little collection of unpretentious sto-
ries of Southern and Western character, by
Mary Jameson Judah will be read with in
terest by the writer's large circle Of friends
in Indiana, but the interest that depends
apon the authors personality quickly
merges into that inspired by the stories
themselves. Mrs. judah has happy fac
ulty for seeing and depicting in vivid
way single incident or episode without
reference to what is before or after. These
incidents are sometimes of but slight dra-
matte Importance and are lightly sketched
as If merely caught in passing, but the
impression upon the reader is that OF
reality. They are bits of life, not mere frag-
ments of literature. 1t cannot be said of
one of these stories or another that 1t is
best" since the themes are too varied to
suggest comparison, and each tale, when
once begun, holds attention to the end.
None is more artistic, perhaps, than the
glimpse into the heart of the ex-Confeder-
ate officer, which is presented under the
title, "a Visible Sign" Veterans of the
other army can appreciate the affection he
cherished for his faded uniform, even
though, unlike him, they have other visible
signs to prove their part in war. Another
study of this same officer skillfully por-
trays the difficulty this man, who still
lives in his war days, has IN adapting MINI
self to changed conditions. Sympathetic in
sight into the minds of those living the cir
cumscribed lives OF poverty and ignorance
is a distinctive characteristic Of these
tales, and is shown nowhere more plainly
than in the Adventure of a Lady of Quail
ity," when, for a moment the lady of Gull
ture and refinement realizes her human kim
ship with the ruffians at her feet, gouging
each others eyes. "A Conflict of Rights
is the most elaborate in construction of any
OF the stories The labor question is its
theme. THE Morning Star Elopement" is
cleverly done and shows the danger that
may threaten a gentleman who treats an
unsophisticated woman with the politeness
to which he is accustomed, and she is not
'',The Blue Blazers is an amusing skit, de-
scribing the narrowing experience of a
party of delegates to an equal suffrage con-
Vention. AS q whole the collection shows
much literary skill and unusual ability in
the portrayal Of character. 1t is made typo
graphically attractive by it's publishers,

TIMATUM TO POLICE FORCE.

ing ON Duty-The Boss of
HaughviIIe" Dropped.

Il want to have it understood, from this
time on, that the next policeman found
sleeping on duty might just as well send
in his resignation, for he'll have to CO."
This was the language of Charles Mcguire
president of the Board of Public Safety
Mr.. Mcguire spoke for the other members
of the board, one of whom was present. He
was talking for the benefit of Patrolman
Huelsman, who was fined fifteen days pay
last night, and also for the benefit of every
other member of the department.
A number of policemen were given hear
ings before the board last night, Messrs
Mcguire and Mack sitting in judgment on
the cases. Patrolman Byard was dismissed
from the force. He was accused Of intoxi-
cation and conduct unbecoming an officer
His partner, Patroman Ruggles, rested un-
der the same charge, but it was not shown
that he was guilty and the board aexoner-
ated him. Byard and Ruggles have the
Haughville district. 1t was shown that By
ard, on the occasion of fire in the Haugh-
vile NJ. E. Church one night last week.
used very bad language. Rev. A. w. Wood,
pastor of the church, was one of the wit
nesses aginst the men, Byard had been be-
fore the board twice before.
After hearing the evidence against Patrol
man Huelsman, who was found sleeping on
duty at Fountain square, the board decided
to fine him fifteen days pay. Mr. Mcguire
said the offense was a serious one, but the
board took into consideration the fact that
the offender had been a good officer and had
never been in trouble before. He was
warned, however, that the offense must not
be repeated.
Patrolman J. w. Winn, colored was also
before the board on account of charges pre-
ferred by Charles Parisoe, a young man
living in the north part of the city. Winn
arrested Parisoe some time ago on the
charge of stealing a watch. The prisoner
was acquitted in Police Court. He at once
filed a statement with the Board of Safety
in which he charged that Winn had taken
two watches from him and had circulated
a report around the neighborhood to the
effect that Parisoe had stolen both of them
VIM denied that he had willfully circulated
such report. He said one of the watches
found on Parisoe was a ladys watch.
Parsoe informed him that the watch be-
longed to a woman who lived out of the
city. This statement caused Winn to suS-
pect something wrong. The patrolman
acted as his own attorney. He was mildly
reprimanded by the board and cautioned to
he more careful in the future about max
ing these open accusations.

The vice nf EnnIa.

1t is difficult to say after reading this
story by H. c. CHARACTERISTICS, precisely
what is the vice of the fools described
therein. Whatever it may be, they are
hardly to be held responsible, the most of
them being born fools. 1t is a tale of social,
political and diplomatic life in Washington,
with a final bringing up in Chicago. The
daughter of Cabinet officer from Illinois
is the heroine. She is described as beauti
full fascinating and a social success, really
social leader, though she is but twenty
three. Her great fault is GOODNESS" New
ertheless she falls almost at sight into the
arms of the first scheming office-seeker
who is shrewd enough to court her in or
der to gain her influence in the matter of a
foreign appointment. Missing the appoint
ment he hastily jitS her and devoteS him
self to another girl. Then, in order to OBJ
tain revenge, she gets him appointed
minister to Denmark, promising General
Lloyd, the power behind the President who
obtained it for him, that she would marry
him q reward. AS a revenge upon the
false lover this does not seem wholly sat
Lloyd is millionaire with the manners
of esoteric society,"" whatever that may be,
1t probably answers the purpose to those
most concerned. After the marriage. and
while she is in Chicago the gallant conduct
of rejected lover, lieutenant in the
army, in the railroad strike suddenly re-
minds her that it is this man she loves,
after all. Then comes a scene that is almost
naughty, but is saved by the noble be-
havior of the lieutenant, who refuses to
elope with her, when she begs him to do
so. There is great deal of conversation
in the book that is evidently intended to be
epigrammatic and witty. but is very la
bored and extremely personal. Indeed the
characters are much given to insulting
each other in their ballroom and table talk.
1t is worth noting as an indication that the
people described move in the most select
circ!es; that the lady pictured as of cosmo-
politan training and the highest culture
addresses the Hungarian minister familiar
~ as. "Komlossy" Except for the rather
high-f1own conversation the book is one
likely to please best very immature readers.

Literary Statesman and Others.

Under the above title Mr.. Norman Hap
good offers a series of essays ION men
seen from distance" the men being Lord
Rosebery, John Morley. Mr.. Balfour, Stend-
hal Prosper Merimee and Henry James.
His theory is that Englishmen dis
trust Lord Rosebery as a states
man because he has the critical
literary temperament. England as a whole,
he says, followed men who enjoyed artis-
tic pursuits as side issues, but has never
followed anybody in whom the artistic quail
tiles were more prominent than the moral
and active ones" He quotes Bagehot as
saying that "a constitutional statesman is
in general man Of common ideas and un-
common abilities" and adds: "Of Lord
Rosebery the reverse would be more nearly
true. He has the virtues of the cultivated
few. and lacks the abilities that alone can
reach the many" Mr.. Hapgood's essay on
Henry James is q very close and apprecia-
tive analysis of the source of that curious
fascination which that writer has for those
who like him al all. In addition to the
essays mentioned is a chapter on American
art criticism and one on American cosmo-
polltanism In the latter. while not under
rating the value of foreign travel and train
ing he holds 1t as not essential to broad
culture and originality. The most interest
ing men, he says, ARE not made by cos
mopolitan training They grow in the soil.'

The Claim of Two women.

T. o. Morris, of No. HOS Central avenue,
closed up his house week ago and went
to another part of the city to visit some
relatives for a few weeks. Last evening a
merchant policeman passing Morriss rome
saw light, and knowing the family TO be
away from home went in to investigate. In
the house he found two women living on
North New Jersey street The women ad-
mitted they had taken some things from the
house. They claimed they thought the fam
lily had moved and supposed they had carted
everything or value away. The women
turned over some of the articles in their
possession and the police found quantity
of stuff in the possession of Roscoe Hicks
and Henry and Albert Ballman, lads living
in the neighborhood of the two women. No
arrests were made, all the parties promis-
ing to come to Police Court this morning.
