WATKINS HERE SUB ROSA.
He Has Held Several Consultations
with John II. Brush.

While the residents of this city have been
worrying about the natural gas situation
w. II. Watkins, the well-known baseball
man, has come and gone. He came to the
city last week and he tried his best to con-
ceal his visit as his business was of such
nature that he did not care to have the
newspapers learn of his presence in Indian
apolis
He stopped at the Grand Hotel, but did
not register. He gave strict orders that it
should not be given out that he was in the
city. He kept away from his old haunts,
but he did not stay in his room all the time
and figure out the baseball question. In
stead of doing that IL is said ne held sew
eral long conferences with John T. Brush.
The Fittsburg deal one of the chief
has it. Ii will be remembered that Watkins
was at the head of a company 10 purchase
the P1ttSburg club, but before he could
make the deal his option on the club ex-
plred and he was unable to carry out the
negotiations Watkins left PittSburg in an

tnat he would get control of the PittSburg
cluD before the season opens next year. His
visit TO indianapolis was no doubt about
this matter, but the whole baseball situa-
tiol was discussed. IT has been stated that
season, but the wise ones laugh at this
idea and say that he will surely be a mag
nate and the Pittsburg club will be the
property that he will own. Watkins left

morning and also orders that he was not

A DISAPPOINTED. REPORTER.
He Thought He Was on the Track of
Good story.

There was a really thrilling story in po-
lice circles last Tuesday night that did not
appear in the police records. The tragic
part OF the story, at least it might have
been tragic had the bike patrolmen been
put on the trail a little sooner. did rot ma
terialize. much to the disgust of the police
reporter. who stood in breathless suspense
at a safe distance from any stray bullets
that might fly in the neighborhood of the
exciting adventure. 1t was nearing the
hour of o'clock Wednesday morning when
a pretty little woman with fingers bedecked
with sparkling diamonds dashed into the
police station and told a story of the double
life she alleged her husband was leading.
She was anxious that he should be arrested,
and she wanted TO be on hand when the
law swooped down upon him. She stated
that she had been playing detective and
had followed her Maynard husband who
was with another woman, to certain
block on Delaware street, and at tEat time
she was certain they were there together.
Captain Dawson ordered the bike cops
10 the front and they were told to follow
the little woman and place her husband LE-
Ger arrest. The police reporter :masined he
scented, first of all, SCOOP" and the
thought of q horrible tragedy also entered
his then restless brain. He followed in the
wake or the officers, the woman having rid
den on ahead on her bicycle. Near the
courthouse she alighted and look from her
wheel her bright lantern TO use as dark
lantern" She pointed out the stairway and
the TWO officers, with d bravery that was
contagious for the time being. stepped
up the stairs. Upon reaching the second
floor the woman pointed out Inc door that
led 10 the room she claimed was then oc-
cupied by her husband. The gas In the hall
was then turned out and the two officers
stationed themselves in front OF the door,
The injured wife was near at hand with her
lantern casting an uneasy glare in the rear
or the crowd. She grasped the lantern
tightly in her jeweled hands and was .eaGy
TO throw the light into the persons face
that should open the door. Several loud
knocks were given on the door, but no
answer came. Then the husbands name was
called, and the sound MADE the wife culver
yisibly, for the light from the lantern
danced nervously on the side walls. No re-
Spouse to the call led the officers 10 open
the door with key. AS the door flung
open the wife jumped in, and in a melo-
dramatic sort or way threw the light from
her lantern about the room and exclaimed !:
They have stolen march on u.s." There
were evidences of some one having been in
the room not many hours before, for on "A
COX were several empty beer bottles and
two glasses partly emptied. The reporter
omitted sound IF disgust at the fail ire OF
the man to be there ready TO be caught in
the trap set BY his wife, and the party
broke up with the assurance from the wife
that they would Try IL again.

J. Frank Hanly, OF Lafayette, was at

a candidate for any office and was not

candidate. ~ am out of politics just now"
said he "at least actively. / don't mean
by this that will not work for the ticket,
for will at any time 1 can do 1t any good.
Personally ! think John l.. Griffiths is the
best OF the candidates for Governor and
will probably have the strongest following.
The feeling / hear expressed in the Indian
epoliS papers that any candidate from In
dianapolis is embarrassed by reason Of his
location is largely a mistake 1 think AT

oils than in any part of the State / am ac-
Quainted with.
II have very extensive acquaintance in
the northern and western parts of the State
and / know that Mr.. Griffiths is the favorite
in both these sections. IL may be that local
candidates will develop who will exact and
receive the loyal support of the delegations
from these counties but when 1t is demon
strated that these men cannot win the sup
port will go TO Mr.. Griffiths.
His fifteen years of active work in all
parts Of the State have made him one Of
the best-known men of the day and when
the convention opens it will be found that
lie will be the second choice OF many dele
cations
There Is a move on foot in our part Of
the State TO have Judge Rabb, of the War

of the new supreme judges to fill the places
