FRANK A. GRAY'S TROUBLES.
His Explanation of a Forgery Charge
Against Him at Dayton.

Frank A. Gray, a clerk, living at 215 East
Tenth street, was arrested yesterday after
noon by Captain Colbert and Detectives
Splann and Wilson. The arrest was made
upon information received from the chief of
police at Dayton, o.. which stated he was
wanted there for forgery. a warrant having
been sworn out. A message received from
Dayton last night said an officer had left
there to take Gray back.
Cray claims hat the offense for which he
is wanted is the passing of a check for $3.50
on a savings bank at that place, he having
no money on deposit there. He says there
can be nothing else against him. For more
than two years prior to August, 1898, he was
in the employ of Kingan & Co.. pork pack
ers. According to a letter given him by the
company. he left their employ of his own
accord and went to California. He returned
about six weeks ago and shortly after went
to Dayton in search of employment He
finally went to boarding with a Mrs.
Foream. Sunday he came TO Indianapolis
on n excursion and claims that before leav-
ing. he gave the woman the check. signed
with his own name, III paymen of board
and for $3.50 in cash advanced by her. He
says he told her he would return on the
excursion train and also that at the time
he had no money on deposit to cover the
check, but would upon his return arrange
the matter. With him, he claims, came a
son of Mrs. Foream. who wanted both Of
them TO search for her husband, whom she
believes TO b. in this city and whom she has
not seen for about n year. Gray claims TO
have paid his companions railroad fare and
lunch out of the $3.50 received. Gray has a
wife and two small children living here.
Detective James Gunner. of Dayton, ar
rived late at night 10 take Gray to Dayton,
but as he had no requisition papers II was
q question up to an early hour whether or
not Gray would accompany him without
papers. The officer says the name OF a bust
ness man Of Dayton had been forged TO the
$50 check.

NATIONAL I. P. A.


LOUISVILLE. KY, May 16.-The tenth
annual convention of the National Travel
ert' Protective Association was called to or
der to-day at Library Hall. There were
present when the gavel fell for order 29s
delegates, who were accompanied by about
100 visitors. The session was devoted to the
exercises Of welcome. Mayor Weaver i'm
pressed on the delegates that Kentucky
hospitality would be served in the States
best style. He said the T. p. AS carried
the golden key of commerce and incident
ally referred to the splendid work done by
the local committee in preparing to enter
tain the Commercial ~evangelists." The
keys of the city were handed the conven-
ton. Mr.. Cole Mengel, jr., president Of the
Board OF Trade, then welcomed the con-
vention on behalf Of the business men Of
the city.
Mr.. Charles r. Duffin, of Terre Haute,
national president Of the organization. re-
piled on behalf of the convention. telling Of
the pleasure with which the delegates came
to Louisville. and commended the drum
mers' position in the world of commerce.
An interesting address was delivered on
the Ethics of the Road" by James A. Lee,
of st. Louis. formerly president of the or
ganization. and now a candidate for lieu
tenant governor in his State. Joseph Wal
~terstein, of Richmond, Va, formerly presi-
dent of the National T. P. A. spoke on the
Commercial Travellers Influence in Ameri-
can Trade which was well received. The
last address of the day was delivered by
Homer L. Wilson, of Texas, national chap
lain. He spoke of the golden rule in trade.
AT the conclusion of the speeches the usual
committees were appointed and the conven-
ton adjourned until tomorrow.
Many cities desire the next convention of
the travelling men, but New Orleans and
Richmond, Va. seem to be in the van of
the applicants. New Orleans got on the
ground first and began TO work for the
place. Richmond Is advertising her claims
in a clever manner and seems to be run
ming a close race with the louisiana me-
tropolis.
The most significant development In the
race for president was the withdrawal of
Sam +. Jones, Of Louisville. This leaves
three candidates., Charles r. Dufin. of In
diana; l.. ". Lataste, Of Alabama, and Har-
~ NJ. Benson, of Texas. 1t looks now like
the race would be an open one with the
chances somewhat In favor of the candidate
from Indiana Tonight an informal recep-
ton was given at the Louisville Hotel, where

tfces There.

Superintendent Power, of the Park Board,

little room in the rear Of their refreshment
stand in the music pavilion to two men
Who claimed TO be members OF the Red
Mems Society. which held a celebration at
the park last Sunday. The men repre-
sented that they wished to serve refresh
ments to the Indians" apart from the
noise and publicity Of the pavilion proper,
and Field & Feigen claim that not until
late In the afternoon did they become aware
that their anteroom had been turned into a
saloon.
Custodian Shawhan says he was aston
ished to see numerous men and boys some

open bar he ordered the liquor sellers TO
close up shop at once and finally succeeded
in stopping the sale OF the refreshments"
Mr.. Power says that there will be no more
beer sold at Garfield Park or n other
park in the city If he has to go out TO the
parks in person to put a stop to the prac-
tice.

CLAIMS $4,000 DAMAGES.
City Officials regard Pennsylvania
ComnanY,s Demand PrepOsterOus.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company filed
suit against the city for $1,000 damages in
the Superior Court yesterday. The COM
pany claims that it has been injured to
this amount by the recent opening of Ne
braska street, from Madison avenue to
Chestnut street, as the new roadway will
cross its tracks and place its trains at a
disadvantage that they have not suffered
heretofore. When the Pennsylvania Com
pany learned several weeks & that there
was a movement on foot for the opening or
the street in question 1t promptly filed a
remonstrance with the Board of Works rep
resenting that the opening would damage
the road to the amount of $1,000. AT last
Fridays meeting of the board the matter
was taken up for final action and, after
some discussion among its members, the
board decided to override the railroad COM
pany's remonstrance, declaring that the
claim of the latter was preposterous. City
Engineer Jeup was instructed TO set stakes
at once indicating the street. The litigation
was not unexpected by the city officials.
