FORGER BROWNS NERVE.
Tries to Recover Money That He OBJ
tanned by Forgery.

Thomas Brown, who is in jail awaiting
grand jury action on the charge against
him of forgery, has brought suit by his at
torneys Seyfried & Marshall, in Justice
Sears's court, against Superintendent or Po-
lice Quigley and the city of indianapolis TO
recover SIG, which he says the detectives
took from him. Brown represented himself
to be Herman w. Stolz, of the firm of
Simon W. Stoz e. Co., of Lawrenceville,
ILL.,, and succeeded in securing money on
forged checks from several business men or
this city. Simon w. Stolz came to this city
when he was informed of what Brown had
been doing and has remained to prosecute
him. He said Brown had received many
benefits at his hands and he denounced him
for ungratefulness
Brown went to the store of Kipp Broth
ers and left an order for goods, He then said
he was a little short of money, and the
firm cashed check for $50 for him. When
Brown was arrested he had SIG in his
pockets Chief of Detectives Colbert handed
this money over to Thomas Hedian, Super
intendent Quigley's secretary. and Mr..
Hedian credited it on the books to klpp
Brothers, as Chief Colbert had instructed.
Yesterday Justice Sears continued the
case until to-day, pending his decision as
to whether .Kipp Brothers should not be
the city as defendant in the case. Assistant
City Attorney Bell represented Superintend-
ent Quigley and the city. Superintendent
Quigley does not wish to be a party to the
suit, Attorney Bell told the court.
Seyfried, one of Browns attorneys, went
to the police station with an order from
Brown for the SIG that had been taken from
him. The money to be used to pay Sey
fried for defending Brown. AS the money
was credited to Kipp Brothers Secretary
Hedian refused to let Seyfried have it.
During Browns trial in the Police Court
Mr. Stolz produced letters, which he said
he had received from Seyfried & Marshall,
Browns attorneys, which informed him
that it would not be necessary for him to
appear as a witness against Brown and re-
quested him to stay at home. Mr.. Stolz did
not heed the request.
The police officials regard Brown as one
of the good men that have operated in
Indianapolis and they think this opinion is
borne out by the way in which he and his
attorneys ask for money which, as Brown
had acknowledged to Chief Colbert, he had
secured from Kipp Brothers on forged
check.

SYSTEM OF MAIL DELIVERY.
Some Important Changes to BE Made
i'm the Routes in the City.

The system of delivery from the Indian
apolis postoffice will be changed beginning
next Tuesday. All the routes will be re-
districted so that carriers will not have to
double" on their tracks in covering their
districts. The plan will not be put into OPP
GRAFTON completely until about the first of
the year, but some time next week twenty
one of the routes will be ready for the
change. The work of changing the routes
requires an immense amount of detailed
work. as before it can be accomplished the
distributing department must be complete
ly altered to correspond with the new car
rier districts. According to the new plan
several of the leading business houses in the
center of the city, which have an enormous
amount of mail matter sent to them every
day, will hereafter have four deliveries
day instead of two. In addition to this sew
eral manufacturing concerns on the South
Side which have been asking for more fire.
quent delivery for five years past. will re-
ceive mail three times day instead of
twice as at present.
The local Office stands we'll up among the
leading offices of the country in point of
effectiveness. This is apparent in the state
ment of the supreme officers of the knights
of Pythias contained in letter recently
sent to Postmaster Hess. In comparing the
service in this city with that at the en-
campment two years ago in Cleveland the
officers say. that only five pieces of mail
were not delivered by the Indianapolis post
once out OF total well up in the millions
while in Cleveland nearly two hundred were
never delivered. The supreme officers and
the heads of the Uniform Rank in letter
TO the postmaster make the statement OPEN
ly that never in the history of the order has
an encampment or convention been so we'll
served IN the way of mail delivery as it had
been in indianapolis this year.

REGULAR ARMY SERVICE
SOME INDIANA VOLUNTEERS WOUID
LIKE 1T FOR AN OCCUPATION.
Governor Mount Asked to Arrange a
PIan-Lfeut. Chrissman Closes
Restaurant Contract.

The beginning of the END of the army ex-
perience of most of the Indiana soldiers will
come Oct. 10, when Colonel Studebaker's
acknowledgements Regiment
will return to the fair grounds for muster
OUT that date being the limit of the fur
Tough granted to the men. When the regi-
ments arrive a new regulation will be put
in force. Heretofore the men have been
given regular army rations, which they were
expected to cook for themselves in any way
that seemed good to them. Under the new
rule, however. the men will have a COM
parativey good time in this respect, as yes
terday Lieutenant Chrissman, the army
quartermaster, closed a contract with Lee
Burnett, of this city, to feed the men by
contract at the rate of As cents day or Is
cents a meal. This will relieve the men of
all trouble in the matter, and doubtless give
them better meal than they could cook for
themselves at the same cost The State
Board of Agriculture has granted permission
to use the horticultural and fine arts build
ings for restaurant purposes.
On Oct. II the Observation-Disclosures
eighth and One-hundred- nd-fifty-ninth reg
iments will report for muster out" and it
is probable that the misunderstanding
seventh Regiment will have been disposed of
weeks ago were anxious to get back home
are now equally as anxious to stay in the
service. During the past few days several
detachments of companies of the One-hun-
acknowledgement and One-hundred-
and-ffty-eighth regiments have sent letters
to the Governor asking that some arrange
ment be made whereby they can be con-
tinued in the federal service. One of the
propositions is that enough men and officers
who wish to continue in the service be Sc
lected from the different regiments to form
a battalion for the regular army.
While there has been no information fur
nished by the government relative to the
acceptance of whole organizations, includ-
ing officers, from the volunteers into the
regular army it is thought unlikely that it
can be done. Captain Black, of the local
recruiting station, is ready to enlist any of
the men who are discharged from the volun-
teers who wish to serve in the regular army,
but he is not authorized to accept officers
Aside from this there is, moreover, a large
number of extra regular army officers who
are now serving in the volunteer regiments,
who, when the army is reduced in SIZE will
be without assignments. 1t has been estl-
mated that the natural increase in the
strength of the army after the close of the
war will allow all these to have appoint
ments, but if more officers are taken into
the army from civil life some of them will
be lacking in this respect.

Arrest of James Sampson for Robbing
His Employers.

James Sampson, for four years an en-
ploye of the Phillips & Pattison Clothing
Company, on South Pennsylvania street,
was arrested yesterday for stealing trousers,
and confessed that for two years he has
carried on a systematic robbery of his en-
ployers. The number of pairs of trousers he
has stolen is estimated all the way from
five hundred to one thousand. His plan was
to take two or three pairs of trousers away
from the store at one time and sell them
at different places in the city At last his
employers became suspicious of him. They
asked for the assistance of the police in dis
covering whether or not Sampson was
guilty and Detectives Gerber Morgan,
Asche and Dugan were detailed on the case.
They found that Sampson sold three pairs
of trousers to David Solomon, a second
hand dealer, at 435 Massachusetts avenue,
recently They then arrested Sampson. He
coolly described his method as told above,
to the detectives.

the man who killed himself there, and in
whose pocket was found a pawn ticket
issued by the Chicago Loan Company, of
this city. was Charles E. Forgey. Forgey,
Mrs. Boles says, was employed at the Van

his sister, Mrs. Charles Farrell, lives in this
city, and that his mother lived a Jefferson

Claim Of the Druggists.

The druggists of the country are appeal
ing to the government to remove the war
tax from all patent medicines, according to
Il report from the revenue office. Some
time ago a circular was received by the In
diana Druggists Association asking it TO
cooperate with the Kentucky Association
to secure the repeal of the law as pertaining
to these preparations. The matter was SUBJ
mitted to Collector Nowlin, of this district,
for an expression of his views, but as yet
no reply has been received from him. The
reason assigned by the druggists for wish
ing TO have the tax abolished is that it is
class taxation. inasmuch as no other line
this. the alcohol in the preparations has
previously been taxed, and. moreover, the
war being now ended, there is no longer
any need of collecting the tax.
