Early in the morning she was wax

raising the riding whip which she held

her force right across the face, leaving

His rage was so violent that he trem-

forward, he tore the whip from her hand

PSEUDO AUSTRIAN ARISTOCRAT.
a Number OF Local People
William {. Rehiing and Wife Owe
Their Property by Mortgage.

Yesterday a jury in the Criminal Court
returned a verdict in the case of the State
against Frank Won Berg. hiding him guilty
of obtaining goods under false %pretenses
and placing the penalty at two years in the
penitentiary. Won Berg fitted up a suite
of office rooms on South Pennsylvania
street and advertised for solicitors and
collectors. The fact that he had a carriage
constantly at his disposal and never walked
at all aroused the suspicion of a man who
had noticed his movements and this man
reported the matter to Chief of Detectives
Splan. who visited the place without any
particular reason TO think the man guilty
of wrong doing. Splan had a talk with Won
Berg, who became suspicious and after
Splan made an appointment to call again
Won Berg attempted TO get out of the city,
but was arrested by Splan on account OF
his suspicious actions. 1t then developed
that he had furnished his office on credit
TO the extent of about $500; that he hac Sc
cured a piano. a typewriter and many other
things, worth altogether over $4,000, In the
same manner.
When arrested Won Berg claimed TO be a
son of a wealthy Vienna member OF the
Austrian nobility and a captain in the Aus
trian army.

Prof. Reinhard.s Lecture.

Prof. Joakim Reinhard. of Purdue, lee
tured yesterday morning before the men,
bers of the Girls Classical School on
Americans in Continental Literature
The lecture was inspired by a remark of
Mrs. Sewalrs, to the effect that the Amer
lean type is not yet formed, bit ii may
come in the twentieth century. Mr.. Rein
hard reviewed what continental writers
have had to say OF Americans in novels and
the drama. The fantastic or imaginary, the
idealistic and the realistic. were the divi-
sions of the subject. The first relates to
the spirit of adventure, i'm which natives
emigrate to America and make great for
tunes. so that Europeans think gold grows
on trees; i'm the second. America is looked
on as "A place where political liberty is real
lied. as all Europe has been engaged in "A
struggle for liberty. Mr.. Reinhard quoted
from Ibsen, Bjornsen, Auerbach, Gustav
Freitag's Debit and Credit and others.
OF all writers, Auerbach gives the more
faithful American types. One class of
Americans. those from South America, are
always introduced tor the villain element
i'm all the novels of Europe. The man with
the dark skin and curling hair iszalways
abroad for mischief. 'Cooper's novels are
as popular in Europe as they are in Amer
lea, and they belong to all of the college
and circulating libraries, said the speaker.
There has been a great improvement in the
realistic writing in the past thirty years.
This is Influenced by the numerous Amer
leans who have gone to Europe TO live and
the many travellers. The hrst traces liz
French literature Were given by the Con-
cours brothers.. The play of The Quadroon
Woman" by Alexander Dumas, fills. was
quoted to show the honor of the American
gentleman. The Able Constantine and
'fThe American Girl were two other stories
quoted. The talk was of great interest,
both as TO subject and manner of presenta-
ton. In conclusion. Mr.. Reinhard told of a
woman who was invited To a house across
the street from her own. and on looking out
OF the window she was very much delighted
TO see her own windows, drawing the infer
ence that the Americans who heard the adj
dress liked TO see themselves as others see
them"

MANGLED BY A CAR.
Alexander Oestrel Falls i'm n Fit and
Is Severely Injured.

Last night Alexander Oestrel. about
twenty-five years of age. living at 100
South Meridian street, was severely in
jured by a street car near the crossing of
South Meridian street and the Belt road.
Oestrel is an epileptic and had attempted
to cross the street-car track at a dark
spot when a fit came on him. He fell with
his head and shoulders across the track.
It was so dark that when the next car
came along the motorman did not see the
body lying on the track until the car was
too close to stop. The fender prevented
the wheels from striking the man, but the
car dragged him for some distance before
it could he stopped
This City Dispensary was called and Oes-
trel was remoVed 10 his home I'm the am
bulance and DIR. oliver was called. Later
the patient was taken 10 the City Hospital.
An examination showed that he had five
broken ribs on the right side, = very large
scalp wound. severe cuts on the face, four
teeth Knocked out and the extensor ten
ions of the right wrist were torn from the
bones. Altogether Oestrel was very badly
hurt. although there is no injury that Is
necessarily fatal unless there should de-
velop some internal injury.

Board of Public Works passed resolutions
for opening two streets through the ground
used for the ball park. but the work has

the use of the grounds for this season. II
may be that Oriental street will be opened
north from Ohio street. If 1t is. the west

stroyed- The north fence will remain I'M
changed. The east fence has already been
moved in six feet TO make room for q ce-

fence has been set in a distance of two
feet. These changes nave no effect Upon
the value of the park for ball purposes, as
the right-ield fence is still beyond the
reach Of the fly ball. The clubhouse has
been moved further south. outside of fair
ground. The old grandstand is being Ie-
paired and will be allowed to stand, the un-

FOUR POLICE STATIONS
PRACTICALLY SETTLED THEY WILL
BE PUT IN SUBURBAN DISTRICTS.

= of Promotions
Appear 10 Policemen.

Some time next week, Immediately after
the annexation has been completed. the
Board of Public Safety will determine what
course to pursue with reference To the po-
lice affairs of the suburbs. II seems 10 be
pretty well settled that four substations will
be formed, one i'm West Indianapolis. an
other somewhere northwest. easily accessi-
bic from Haughville and North Indianap-
oils, another in the northeast, which will
cover the business of Brightwood. and the
fourth in the southeast. Necessarily there
will be a complete reorganization OF the
police department. Whether additional SER
geants will be appointed. or whether the
office of lieutenant will be created has not
been decided. 1t is urged by several coun-
cilmen, however. that each substation he
placed under charge of a lieutenant. who
shall have charge of sergcants and minor
officers, the captains of the force 10 still
rank next to the superintendent. II may
be found necessary to appoint at least one
additional captain. so that there may be
two night captains. one for the east and the
other for the west side Of town. or one for
the north and the other for the south. Ieav-
ing the third captain for day duty. With
the GameweIl system. which the Board of
Works has decided to place in the new
STATION nOuSe, lnuldidpOllS VIII De well
equipped and the entire police department..
including the four substations. will be I'M
der the immediate control of the superin-
tendent at any hour of the night and day
and TO mobilize the force would require an
incredibly short time.
Naturally enough, with all this talk OF
creating new ranks. appointing additional
Sergeants. etc, there is a good deal OF spec
ulation INDUCED i'm by the men i'm the ranks,
as well as the Sergeants, as to how honorS
are to be distributed. Richard Herrick.
secretary of the Board Of Safety. says that
the merit system for making appointments
does not contain any provisions as 10 pro-
motions and that there is no eligible list
fro m which promotions may be expected
to occur. II has been the custom generally
to allow the superintendent to make sug-
gestions along this line. as he is naturally
observant as TO the abilities of his sub
ordinates.
superintendent Colbert has been urging
that the Gamewell system be adopted. that
he be given larger force and that the de-
partment he given better quarters ever
since he was appointed superintendent at
the beginning of Mayor Taggart's admin
iStration.

this. there is 10 be a large monument
placed between the fountain and New York
street. facing the end OF California street.
On this monument of stone a pyramid OF

South to meet the perils and terrOrs OF
war.
The ordnance department. OF the general
government has on hand a large number Of
condemned cannon. They are being given
