COLBERT IS ACQUITTED
AND SQUIRE HAYS OUTRAGED DIG
NIFTY FINDS NO BALM.
Wife of a Prominent Business Man
Sues for Support - Appellate
Court Decisions.

Justice of the Peace Sears yesterday tried
the case in which Thomas f. Colbert, chief
detective of the city force, was charged
with "obstructing legal process" The case
was originally brought in Justice Hay
court, but was tried by Magistrate Sears on
a change of venue. The defendant was dis
charged by Sears
Colbert frustrated the attempt of con-
stable to serve warrant on a man who was
being taken to Chicago on the fugitive
/ charge. Colbert thrust the constable aside
as he was about to read the warrant. Jus
tice Sears in his decision held that had the
constable actually served the warrant on
the prisoner and afterward been prevented
by Colbert from taking the man there might
have been a case against the detective. The
prosecution maintained that it was not
necessary for the constable to read the war
rant. The evidence showed that the con-
stable said: II don't wish to disturb you,
gentlemen, but have a warrant for Mr..
Cadmus." At the same tirne it was shown,
the constable laid his hand on the prisoners
arm and was pushed away by Detective Col
bert, who explained that he could not take
the prisoner if it took the whole Indianap-
oils police department to prevent it. The
state held that the announcement of the
constable that he had a warrant for Cad
mus was sufficient, the prisoner must
have understood that he was the person
meant without the reading of the warrant.

OPINION HANDED DOWN.
First Session of May Term in the APP

pellate Court.
Yesterday was rule day in the Appellate
Court, and the first session for the May
term was held. Judge Robinson was sue
ceeded by Judge Henley as chief judge for
the term. number of opinions were handed
down. The court adjourned until June T.
when the Supreme Court is also to convene
decision by which Alice Stockberger
was given judgment for $4,000 against John
Walters, by the Miami Circuit Court was
reversed. The judgment was for an alleged
breach of marriage contract.
The judgment of the Hamilton Circuit
Court against the administrator of the es-
tate of Emma Stewart was reversed. Mrs.
Stewart was colored woman. She was
killed in freight elevator of the CONNER
ciaI Club building four years ago. A verdict
for 81, $50 was rendered in favor of her moth
and sisters. This is held to be excessive.
The evidence showed she sometimes gave
that a judgment for $1,000 would have pro-
duced an annuity of more than her total
earnings amounted to.
The appeal of Center school township
from judgment in favor of the school city
of West Indianapolis for it's proportion of
the dog tax collected several years, was dis
missed. Since the annexation of West In
dianapolis the Board of School Commits
sioners has been substituted as the proper
party to the suit. A judgment in it's favor
was rendered few weeks ago by the Su-
preme Court.
In the case of Koethe, Wells & Bauer
against the Krag-Reynolds Company the
court held that a chattel mortgage in favor
of the latter company to secure a debt of
1858 was invalid, because the notary public
taking the acknowledgment was interested
in the instrument stakeholder and di-
rector of the company, and was. therefore,
incapacitated from acting in an official ca
pacity. The judgment was reversed.

MRS. KLINE'S CONFESSION.
Mrs. GOOdin Says 1t Is Part of a Con-
spiracy.

There were no new developments yester-
day in the case in which Mrs. Goodin and
Mrs. Kline are charged with conspiracy to
injure DR.. Haskinson by throwing vitriol
in her face. Mrs. Kline still says she threw
the acid and sticks to her story involving
Mrs. Goodin as the person whom she was
serving in doing the fiendish act Mrs.
Goodin was told yesterday of Mrs. Kline's
confession, but persisted in the statement
that the confession was made as part of a
conspiracy to injure her.
Superintendent Quigley tried to get a
statement from Mrs. Goodin, but she re-
manned silent on the advice of her lawyers.
The superintendent says he has enough evil
dence to convict both women without using
Mrs. Kline's confession. He declines to
make public some of the points of evidence,
but says they are stronger against Mrs.
Goodin than anything yet disclosed, with
the exception of the confession.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Park-"A Fair Rebel"

Park Theater audiences saw "A Fair
Rebel for the first time here in several
years. The play was more acceptable than
captain Herne." Louise Reming assumed
the title role and the exciting story of life
in Virginia during the war was entertain
ingly handled. The enthusiasm over the
scene showing the escape of Union prison.
ers from Libby prison was one of the fea-
lures of yesterdays performances. The war
spirit was rife all through the production
and there Is sufficient comedy during the
action to give the audience opportunity to
laugh. The specialties between the several
acts are greatly enjoyed. "A Fair Rebel
will be repeated this afternoon and tonight
for the last times. The strongest bill of the
week. Alabama" will be seen the rest of
the week and will remain at the Park for
Decoration day

VIII Re-Enumernte.

Albert Baker, of the finance committee Of
the School Board, said yesterday that the
board is now verifying the school enumera-
ton. The decrease in the enumeration of
last month"; said Mr.. Baker lost to the
board all of the natural increase, which is
estimated at 1900 children of school age.
between six and twenty-one years, and 1913
besides. in all over two thousand. This APP
parent error is now to be corrected. 1t Is
believed that parents failed to give in a
full enumeration, thinking they will be en-
abled TO keep their children out of school
as not covered by the corporation law. This
is a mistake Nor are the parents taxes
affected. for the School Board loses between
two and three dollars. payable out of the
ated."

ORGANIZATIONS or THE ARMY.
There should be an Immediate Change So
Far ms Concerns the National Guard.

Washington, April ia high off,
cial of the war department said today
with reference to the recommittal by
the House of the Hull bill for the
reorganization Of the army;
A fact which the national guard,
through whose influence the HUI army
reorganization bill was defeated last
Thursday appears to have wholly lost
sight of is that the law makes the reg
ulnr army the model for the organza-
ton of the army when called into active
service. Section 1916 revised statutes,
provides that: They (the militia shall
be formed by the President into regi-
ments of infantry. with the exception
of such numbers Of cavalry and ar
tillery as he may direct, not to exceed
the proportion of one company OF each
of those arms to every regiment of
infantry and to be organized as in the
regular service" This antiquated sin
gle battalion, regimental formation long
since abandoned by all enlightened ma
tions, is still the legal organization of
our regular infantry.
II war We're declared tomorrow mil
itla called forth under the Presidents
call would have to be organized on this
thoroughly obsolete and vicious plan.
Selfish no less than patriotic motives
should induce the national guard TO
work for law which gives to the in
fantry an organization that takes ac-
count of the far reaching changes
wrought by modern weapons of war.
That the Hui bill provides such an
organization cannot be questioned. 1t
