FOR FORGING MORTGAGE
L. b. HORNADAY CHARGED WITH I'M.
PERsONATING vOLNEY DAWSON.
Meyer & I<iser Cause His Arrest,
Claiming He SwindIed Them
Out of Nearly $1,000.

Thomas B. Hornaday was last night ar
rested by Detectives Thornton and Kin
ney and Patrolmen Bray and Griffin on the
charge Of forging notes and mortgages. 1t
is claimed that about a year ago Hornaday
went to Meyer & Kiser, of this city, and
impersonated Volney Dawson, land
owner near Broad Ripple, and said he de-
sired to raise some money on his land. He
accurately described one piece of land and
the firm made an investigation. The ten
ants on the land described said they rented
from Volney Dawson, and as far as the
investigation was made the story told and
the facts found were found to coincide
A first mortgage of nearly 500 and a sec
ond of little less than 5000 were placed on
the land. The checks issued were made
payable to volney Dawson. and on the back
they were endorsed PAY to Thomas B..
Hornaday," and the name of volney Daw-
son was signed.
The firm states that Hornaday asked par
ticularly how long before the interest was
due. were notices sent out, and was told
two weeks. When the interest first fell
due Hornaday paid it three weeks in adj
vance, or a week before the time for send
ing out the notices. When the second semi
annual payment was approaching the one
in charge of the collection of the interest
was contemplating a vacation. and for
that reason notices of the interest which
would fall due during the vacation were
sent out month in advance. In this way
tie notice of the interest due was sent to
Mr. Dawson. He at once disclaimed any
Indebtedness and the investigation followed.
Hornaday was summoned and announced
his willingness, but claimed to the repre-
sentative of the firm that he would have
to go over and start his men at work. 1t
was represented to the police that Horna-
day claimed TO be manager Of the Brooks
Oil Company and he went to the home of
Z. p. Kelly, who is manager Of the company.
1t was stated by the representative of the
firm that Hornaday went in the front door
of Kelley's house, told him he would have
to get some one else to take his route for
him and then walked out the back door.
He was employed by Kelly. Hornaday is
fifty-six years old, Is married and has a

participated in the Labor day parade in this

imperative that labor organize TO protect

TOLEDO JONES SPEAKS
EXPLAINS HIS UNIVERSAL BROTHER
HOOD IDEA TO WORKINGMEN.
He Also Points Out Some of the Al
legged Mistakes of Trades Unions
Labor Day Celebrations.

COLUMBUS. O.. Sept. 4.-Mayor Samuel
NJ. Jones, of Toledo, was the chief speaker
at the Labor day meeting here this after
noon. His address was devoted largely to
an exposition of his theory of the universal
brotherhood He said in part:
while labor organizations, fraternal So
cieties, lodges and churches are busy striv-
ing to right the wrongs, striving to get leg
islation to protect the people from the evils
that 1 am pointing out, striving to teach
the gospel of love, the political parties,
based upon the wicked theory of COMPETE
ton, based upon the idea that men are enc
mics and not lovers, have been keeping
alive the fires of hatred that are continually
producing the evils from which We would
flee. Every device known to his Satanic
Majesty has been resorted to by these
agencies to pervert the public mind. 10y
atty to party has been considered the first
requisite to good citizenship, and so abject
has been the slavery in which the people
have been held that they have for genera
tions responded to the party whip without
asking a question about the principle in
volved.
BE a Democrat BE a Republican"
have been the slogans that have rallied the
clans, that have lined men up in serried
ranks as enemies-men, the children of one
common father, men having the same COM
mon needs. longings, hopes, purposes, and
the same common destiny. There is no need
for strife; there is room enough for all,
there Is land enough for all, property enough
for all, as there is air enough for all. We
have only to inaugurate a reasonable sys-
tenn of government that will set aside the
specter of poverty and provide assurances
that everyone willing to contribute of hts
or her service shall not want in this coun-
try Of ours, and this brutal warfare Of COM
petition will cease
THE labor unions have erred, have made
mistakes. There is no greater mistake of
which they have been guilty than the mis-
taken notion that they must keep out Of
politics. My friends, you cannot be citizens
and keep out of politics. II there is any,
thing wrong with our government or insti-
tutions II Is because We are wrong. 1t is
our business to understand the science of
government, our business as well as our
privilege to devote ourselves to righting the
wrongs and to make this government what
it is destined to be-a government of abso-
Lutte equality of opportunity"

To the Honorable County Board of
Supervisors of Wood County. Wis. !:
Whereas your honorable body upon
several occasions heretofore has set
apart and appropriated money to aid

| lock creek and otherwise for the pur-
pose of improving and putting in a
| passable condition the certain high
way which leads directly east from the
center of the city of PittSville toward

And, whereas, the said highway has
not been improved or graded so as to
| be in a paSSable condition and the
same is unfit for use and practically
worthless and impaSSable: and where
as, this want of repairs and improve
ment upon said highway seems to
arise from the fact that the town of
Seneca is made up of territory which
is not mutually interested and in fact
comprises much larger tract of terri
tory than can be conveniently handled
under one town government.
We. therefore, most respectfully
petition your honorable body to take
into consideration seriously the ques-
ton of the ACCESSIBILITY of rearranging,
| by proper ordinance or ordinances,
