$27 from a closet. Mullen said he had di-
vided the money among his companions.
Last night the detectives arrested Otto
Randall eighteen years old, living at 1876
West Maryland street. and locked him up
on the same charge as the one against

was shown by the fact that they did their
work hastily and passed over d vaHse con-
tanning $46 Mullen said yesterday that he
would probably have found the valise il
one of the gang had not whistled a warm

SPORT FOR BEyERIDGE.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WABASH, Ind, Nov. 1.-Hon. Albert j.
Beveridge, who addressed a large political
meeting here yesterday afternoon, re-
manned over until this afternoon, meeting
many Republicans at the committee head
quarters. Already Chairman Plummer is re-
ceiving most encouraging reports from Mr..
Beveridge's address, it being known posi-
lively that six Democratic voters who
heard him, have altered their intention of
supporting Democratic candidates, and will
vote the Republican ticket. The speech has
infused the entire Republican organization
with new enthusiasm and the last week Of
the campaign will be by far the liVeliest.
A Democratic newspaper here the Times,
this morning quoted at length from Mr..
BeVerldSe'S speech and made merry with
his appeal to voters to stand by the adj
ministration. Mr.. Beveridge created a great
deal OF amusement in local political circles
by producing Il copy of his TomlinSon Hall
speech, which is wholly different from that
delivered here, and showing that the Dem
ocratic paper had cribbed it's report from
the indianapolis address, not a word that it
published having been uttered by him here.
The local Democracy is making no fight
on national or state issues, but is waging a
nasty personal warfare on Republican local
candidates. Everything is being traded for
Naber, Democratic candidate for the Leg
tslature, but indications now point to the
election of all the Republican county cam
dldateS by larger majorities than in 1896.

A FORTUNE MISSING.
The Rev. Tyler Can Find No Trace Of
Wealth Left by His Father.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind, Nov. IA
remarkable condition of affairs has been
made public through the report of Rev.
Buford Tyler, of Charlestown, administra.
tor of the estate of his father, Moses Tyler
who died suddenly two years ago. The de-
ceased was for twenty years superintendent
of the cement mills of J. B. Speed & Co., of
Louisville, and located at Utica. six miles
north of here AS guardian of his son.
Rev. Tyler, Moses Tyler had control of
$4,000 in bonds belonging to his son, which
money was left by his mother In addition
Moses Tyler had from $15 GOO to $40 900 of his
own money. He at one time expressed him
self as being worried over the actions of
an agent whose identity he did not disclose.
When Rev. Tyler qualified as administrator,
he was unable to find will or any trace Of
the money belonging TO himself or father.
A thorough search was made in every pace
where will could possibly have been Sc
GREETED, but without result. Safety vaults,
banks, attorneys with whom the deceased
was known to have dealings and other
places and persons. all were visited, but
without any ciew TO either the money or
denly that he was unable to make any
statement of his business affairs. The un-
fortunate condition is especially hard on
Rev. Tyler who loses not only his own for
tune, but also that which he would have in
herited from his father. The search will
not be given up but it seems hopeless, as
not stone has been left unturned in the
efforts to clear up the mystery. Rev. Tyler
is pastor of the Presbyterian Church at
CharleStoWn.

NOBLESVILLE, Ind, Nov. Lone OF the
best speeches of the campaign was delivered
tonight at the courthouse to large audi
ence by Judge T. J. Terhune, of Lebanon,
the sound-rhoney Democrat, who has just
announced his conversion to Republican
principles. For ten years he has been judge
of the Boone Circuit Court. and has been
the foremost man in the Democratic party
of Boone county. Two years ago he repudi-
ated the Chicago platform and affiliated
with the sound-money Democrats. Like
Bynum, he believed that the Democratic
party would in time come to its senses, but
was sadly disappointed this year when the
old party again Endorsed the Chicago plat
form and all its Populistic heresies He de-
cided that the only wise and sensible thing
to do was to unite with a party that sup
ported principles and policies in harmony
with his judgment and conscience. So he
this year espouses the cause of Repub-
hcanism. His speech tonight was heard
with great interest, and made deep and
lasting impression.

SHELBYV1LLE, Ind, Nov. 1.-The Hon.

dience here tonight. Campaign after cam

still the applause by a motion of his hand

complete IN the past, will heneeforth have

by this administration is man of limited
means, but of unlimited patriotism. He is
perhaps a farmer, who discovered that Mr..
Bryan was mistaken when he said that
wheat and silver went up ana down to-
gether, and who sold his crop on the very
day that a bushel of wheat was worth just
twice as much as an ounce or silver. one

lawyers in all parts of the country inquir-
ing of him when the Supreme Court will
issue rules and regulations for the govern
ment of courts in the enforcement of the
bankruptcy law. Having no definite infor-
nation on the subject, Major McKenney is
obliged to write noncommittal replies to
the effect that the court has not as yet pro-
mulgated the rules and regulations. There
is nothing to prevent the lower courts from
going ahead and giving attention to bank
ruptcy matters according to their own con-
struction of the law. but majority of
judges are Ioath to do any pioneering in
this field, preferring to wait for the issu-
ance of a set of rules which they can blind
~ follow. Some courts have gone so far as
to hold that nothing whatever can be done
formally under the bankruptcy law until
the Supreme Court is heard from This
however, is looked upon by the members of
the Supreme Bench as an unwarranted ex-
cess of caution. Recognizing the force of
the general demand. the Supreme Court is
giving this matter its Industrious attention

speakers at a large Republican meeting at
West Terre Haute last night. Mr.. Higgins
spoke of the money question as having
been fully understood and passed on by the
people in 1896, which statement brought as
loud applause as anything said during the
evening. Another point which pleased the
audience was that we should not hesitate
to assume the responsibility Of governing
or less naked and less civilized than our
own people. He referred to the fact that
the founders of this country did not hest

and that we surely are as capable of devel-

the widest enthusiasm for Roosevelt the

that Roosevelt, Fish and Colonel Aston

down and obliterate the barrier between
the rich and the. poor, as far as politics
and patriotism is concerned. The fact that
