HE SWINDLES JEWELERS..
Leaves AZ Rented Bicycle as Collateral
john MuIIaIy a Victim.

About six weeks ago John Mullaly, a
jeweler on Monument place, reported to the
police that he had been swindled out of a
SIS diamond by a clever thief. The young
man called and examined diamond studs
and upon leaving said he would bring his
brother around TO examine the one he had
decided upon. The next day the young man
rode up to the store on a bicycle. He said
his brother was sick and as the two were
buying The stone together, he would have
to wait until his brother was able to come
down 20 the store. Mr.. Mullaly suggested
that the young man make a deposit of $50
and take the stone to his brother. The
young man said he would leave his wheel
and this was regarded as satisfactory Mr.
Mulaly waited awhile, but the young man
did not return. Then he inquired at the Of
flee of the city controller and learned, from
the number of the license that the wheel
belonged to Harry Eckman, who rents
wheels at Market and Delaware streets.
Yesterday Mr.. Mullaly learned, through
the jewelers. Circular, that the thief had
been arrested at Buffalo for working the
same game on G. o. Upper 81 Co. To Mr.
Mullaly he gave the name of Richard
Thomas and he was known by that name
in Buffalo, though he repr scented to Mr.
Upper that he was the son of Judge Emory
The article referring TO the arrest Of
Thomas, says that he wore silk under
clothes and wore broadcloth outer gar

BY THE HORSESHOE IMPRINTS
Farmer Stout Traced His stolen Tur-
keys-TNO Arrests.

Bike Cops" Holtz and Wallace yester-
day arrested two young farmers who, it is
charged, have been carrying on a whole
sale business of stealing turkeys and chick
ems west of the city. Direct charges are
brought against them by Samuel b. Stout
q farmer living about twelve miles west of
the city. In tracing the crime to the young
men Il was noticed that the thieves trav-
eled by horse and buggy. Recently Mr..
Stout has been missing turkeys which he
was preparing for market. Saturday night
eight fine fowls were taken, ana he dis
covered that, as on former occasions, a
horse and buggy had been used by the
thieves. On this visit the tracks were par
ticularly noticeable. for there had been a
rain and the ground was SOFT Mr.. Stout
studied the tracks of the horse and vehicle
and made a discovery. He noticed that the
right hind foot Of the horse was deformed.
the frog extending abn5rmally forward.
There was also a popularity in the shoeng
of the horse. He followed the tracks to the
home of James and Thomas Davis. who live
about two miles east of him.
The tracking was done early Sunday
morning. and yesterday MIR. Stout followed
the young men suspected TO this city and
found them disposing Of eight turkeys at
Dickson's poultry house on West Maryland
street. He telephoned to the police, and
Holtz and Wallace arrived in time 20 arrest
the Davis brothers. Mr.. Stout and several
of his neighbors identified the turkeys.
People living in the neighborhoGd of the
Davises and Mr.. Stout claim they have
been losing poultry for a long time. They
have suspected the Davis brothers. but have
never been able To get any positive evil
dence against them. The men arrested in
slst they raised the turkeys themselves.
The police made inquiries at the various
poultry houses and learned that the two
men have been selling poultry almost every
day in lots OF few dollars worth at a

publican party. and that may be true But
this is not a question of politics. 1t is
question of which administration is the
best, which will cause the taxes TO be low
est and which will give employment to the
largest number of people. If, after two
years of the present administration you IA
vor it, that is question you are able to
determine. Take the colored race thirty
five years ago and its present position;
what race has advanced faster or climbed
higher on the ladder? There is no particu-
lar reason why the colored men should be
my friends. They have treated me right
and / have been civil to them as l have to
other men. They have been in my employ
and / have found them trustworthy and re-
liable" Then the mayor of indianapolis
repeated the same contemplate lie that
Sweeney had uttered, by continuing; If
this is the crowd of people that the Indian
apolis Journal said were niggers and leg
pullers, l am glad to consider them my
fri ends" The mayor then declared that
the Republicans had organized a colored
committee, with men in every precinct. and
said they were keeping this matter great
secret. He might have found a full account
of this organization in the Journal of last
Thursday, Sept. 16
AS soon as the mayor finished the crowd
got up and started for the door. Sweeney
pounded the table and begged them to stay,
but about half the crowd went anyway.
The rest of the evening was put in with
songs by the glee club and talks by other

the protest OF a number of demonstrators.
The Sussman rem0nstrance was filed under
the local option clause of the Nicholson
temperance law. The Temonstrancc con-
tains the names of LIPS citizens
of the Sixth ward. The cOntea-
ton of the attorney for Sussman
presents a rather fine question which the
county attorney will have 10 settle before
the commissioners grant or refuse the
license The remonstrance is based on the
vote of the ward at the last city election.
The Sixth ward, untiI the change OF
boundaries last spring, was known as the
Eleventh ward. Sussman's attorney claims
that the renonstrance is void because there
is no WY of determining what the vote OF
two years ago was in that territory now
known as the Sixth ward.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
1 ask space to reply to an alleged inter-
view which a Sentinel reporter claims to
have had with me after the meeting at
North Indianapolis last Thursday evening.
This is another fair showing of how the
Democratic party and its principal organ in
the State respect the colored men of this
city. This only calls to mind the cartoon
got out by the Democratic candidate last
fall who was running opposite to me on
that ticket That cartoon pictured me as
black as the gates of hell and a crap
shooter, but L was too we'll known in this
city for such publication to injure me in
the least, and it rather gained me votes.
I was seven years regularly employed as
teacher in our city schools, and l could not
speak the dialect used by the Sentinel re-
porter if 1 should try; further, no one but
a Sentinel reporter or a negro that had
come from the Black Belt of South Caro-
lima could. / am a Republican and | don't
lay all the blame to the Republican party
for the defeat of my bill, for I believe
my party would have passed the bill If 1t
hadn't been for members of my race that
did not want equal educational advantages
if it jeopardized the position of some teach
err. Now, am reliably informed that som of
these Grand Hotel colored employees are
working for Mayor Taggart and assigning
this as a reason, and with this addition,
that Mr. Taggart is "a good man" Against
this have nothing to say, but in my judg-
ment it is a favorable omen for the Re-
publicans that they have nominated to OPP
pose Mr.. Taggart for the mayoralty of this
great city another good man." and in adj
dition to that a good lawyer. Being a good
lawyer he is able to apply every principle
which stands as the bulwark of our city
government. There isn't any good Repub-
lican but can vote for Mr.. Harding and
many Democrats who feel an interest in
good government surprising their love of
man will vote for Mr.. Harding also.
don't care anything about being white
washed by the Sentinel, If so, would sup
port Mr.. Taggart, and they would do it at
once. The reference to Mr.. Schmidt was
made by the Sentinel reporter and it was
all news to me, but he seemed to be we'll
informed and used the language that he re-
ports me as using. GABRIEL l.. JONES.

Runaway at Broad Ripple.

Yesterday morning as George Dugan and
a Mrs. Perngo were driving into Broad
Ripple the horse became frightened, turning
the buggy over and severely injuring both
occupants Mr. Dugan is farmer, living
about one and a half miles north of Broad
Ripple, and is about fifty-five years old.
He had no bones broken, but was seriously
bruised. Mrs Perngo lives in Boone coun-
ty and is in her seVenty-seventh year. She
sustained a cut three inches long about the
center of the forehead, which exposed the
bone. Her left wrist was fractured also:
DR. Bates attended both injured people, and
in a short time had both of them in shape
to be taken home.

Taggart and Colored voters.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
During the last municipal campaign a del
egation of degenerate Democrats waited on
Mr.. Taggart for the purpose of getting him
to discharge all negroes from public office.
Mr. Taggart's reply was, 1--WE may want
them next time; then, if we are successful,
we will clean the public service of negro
Office holders" After this bold insult, this
depreciation of the civil rights of negro
voters, some Of the so-called intelligent col
o. ed citizens are willing to offer assistance
in the reelection of Thomas Taggart. Even
the pulpit has descended from its lofty seat
and is now wallowing in political dust of
the present municipal campaign. 1t is hard
to understand how one man can fill two
offices so diverse in nature. 1t thus takes
a very brilliant man to do one thing well,
but when it comes to preaching the gospel
and preaching Tom Iaggart, it is disgust
ing. The divine referred to is Rev. Black
shear, pastor of Corinthian Baptist Church.
| am unable to cite any passage in the BIZ
Bile where it is called in to vote for the best
interest of the people; therefore, I do not
need his instructions how to vote. To vote
for the best interest of the whole people
we must of necessity vote the Republican
ticket. If Mr.. Blackshear's religious views
are as narrow as his political views, those
who are under his guidance stand poor
show in the great beyond. Church work is
grand but it should be kept out of politics.
Thou shalt not lie; put not thine hand
with the wicked to be an unrighteous wit
ness; the tongue of the wise useth knowl-
edge Alright, but the mouth of a fool pour
eth out foolishness." These are biblical
proverbs which the reverend gentleman
might well commit to memory and use ac-
cordingly What has Mr.. Taggart done for
this preacher? Smiled, l suppose. What
has Harding done against him? He has
supported and is still supporting the grand
old party, which has given Mr.. Blackshear.
Mr. Gentry and all other negroes the right
which they now enjoy. What has Black
shear done in return? He has gone over to
Taggart and the Democracy. All / can
say IN the way OF communication of Mr.
Gentry is that he is too small to be given
space for the discussion of his shortcom-
ings. All voters, all friends of the Republic.
all American citizens should and will sup
port Hon. W. N. Harding. What are you
going to do? G. J. DAWSON

AN OPPORTUNITY WELL LOST.

From The New. York Press.
Reasons other than merely chivalric
will impel general rejoicing over the
release Of Mrs Governor Atkinson not
proven guilty OF forgery. For the
world has cause 10 know that had con
victiOn befillcn Mrs. Governor AtSin-
son pardon would have followed inn
mediately at MIR. Governor Atltinson's S
hands. And message melodramati.
cally inquiring how any jury that ever
had mother could brand woman
with the stigma OF felony would have
accompanied the pardon. The social
structure of West Virginia cannoc, we
are sure, stand any more messages of
the kind which Goyerno- Atkinson
writes when in the romantic vein.
The last one OF the kind fran tically
applauded an irrita ble citizen who had
been taking pot shots at his wife and n
supposed cavalier, but who had not
been able to satisfy even West Vir-
giuia jury OF the substantially of the
shpposition. On the other hand, the
Governor had taken the defendant in
the forgery trial to wife at the mo-
ment that an exparte case was made
out against her. The indictment was,
so TO speak, the marriage license 1t
will be seen that in the Governors s
code personal suspicion of feminine
misconduct will Justify personal exc
cution Of capital punishment, while a
Grand Jury's findings make presump-
tion of innocence.
SO. on the whole, we may we'll be
glad that the Governor has not the op-
portunity 90 load the West Virginia re-
cords with another installment OF his
theories of human responsibility, Grim
NAL justice and Executive clemency
When so highly placed an official gets
to following the dictates of his heart
too frequently the result is likely TO
confuse the plain people.
