HAD TOO MUCH COCAINE.
Otis Harvey Charged with Receiving
stolen Goods.

Otis Harvey was arrested by Detectives
Gerber and Lancaster Saturday night and
placed in jail on charge of receiving
stolen goods. He disposed of three ounces
of cocaine in a West Washington-street
drug store at half the wholesale price.
Cocaine sells at $3.50 an ounce During the
day he went to the drug store with the
drug and explained the unusually low price
TO the druggist by confidentially telling
him that it was part of stock from
Chicago firm that had been closed uD by
the police. His story aroused suspicion,
and the detectives were notified. Satur-
day night Harvey went to the store for
his money and the detectives were on hand
and arrested him when he started away
The detectives say they know of no such
theft in this city. but about a month ago
they we're notified that seventy-five ounces
had been stolen from a Louisville whole
sale house. They believe that this is part
oil the stolen cocaine.

ATTITUDE OF RAILROADS.
Secretary Downing, of Fair Board.
Complains that They Are ListIess.

Railroads very rarely go To great lengths
TO assist fixed enterprises said Charles
Downing, secretary of the Indiana State
Board OF Agriculture. by this I mean.
for example, an enterprise such as our
state fair But you take. for instance. an
event OF a special nature, like the Indian
apolis fall carnival. and they will do al
most anything for its promoters. I am
not jealous of the carnival. nor do / wish
to detract in any degree from its success
In fact. the managers OF the state fair in
tend to advertise the carnival extensively
during the week we hold our fair. But II
does seem strange thar the transportation
companies should assume such a listless
attitude toward an enterprise like tho state
fair. do not think Il is right :"
Mr.. Downing does not think the adyer-
Using OF the carnival will injure the state
fair, for the reason that the kinds of en-
tertalnmeDt provided by the two events are
go different I'm character. 1.-The state fair
he says, appeals more strongly 10 people
who ENJOY horse races and 10 those who
are interested IN agriculture ana the imple-
ments and products pertaining 10 H. We
Draw the bulk OF our patronage from the
rural districts. On the other hand The
esrnival win appeal 10 residents of towns
and cities II will attract very few farm

success and believe h will be- | know a.

fact / have never known an enternrise
10 be so industriously advertised and go
earnestly championed- II certainly ought

GRAIN MERCHANTS SURPRISED.
Amount of Wheat Inspected During
the Month of August.

In the month of August inspectors of the
Board of Trade inspected 365, $50 bushels of
wheat. against $4,000 bushels in August,
1899. Seventy per cent. of the wheat came
from Kansas City, Western lines delivering
at Indianapolis 4S7 carloads of wheat,
against 176 carloads in August, 1899 There
were inspected last month 352, 800 bushels
of corn, against 551. 600 bushels in August.
1899, representing 504 cars against 7SS cars.
There were inspected 154 carloads of oats,
against 256 carloads in August last year.
With the exception of wheat, the inspec-
tons were the lightest of any August in
some years. That so much wheat should
be handled when the crop was considered a
failure in central Indiana and Illinois is
much of a surprise to local grain mer-
chants.

HENDERSON AND FORTUNE.
The Former Denies that He Assumed
to Speak for Prof. Washington.

1.-THE appended letter was offered to the
indianapolis Sentinel for publication. Mr.
Henderson desiring to correct erroneous
statements by that paper, but the Sentinel
declined TO print it,
To the Editor of the indianapolis Sentinel:
noticed in your paper of to-day an arti-
Gle signed by T. Thomas Fortune, who rep
resents himself TO be the personal friend
and spokesman of Prof. Booker T. Wash
ington. 1 claim no such honored distinc-
ton. nor did / say that If Mr.. Washington
was here he would have signed the paper
l then had. / have never attempted to
misrepresent or represent Prof. Washing
ton, nor did / do either yesterday. | was
asked. Ibid Prof. Washington sign what 1
1 had prepared?" L said. mo, l had not
asked him to sign it; guess he would had
L asked him. Knowing that Prof. Wash
ington was not a member of the Afro
American Council. there would have been
no grounds for me to have sought his sig
nature. However, as L knew from pub
lie statements from Prof. Washington as
TO his ReyIOlicanism, i could see no reason
why any good Republican could not sign
IL. Mr.. Fortunes arrogance in assuming to
speak for Prof. Washington is presump-
tuous in the extreme. | think this is the
same Fortune who took it upon himself to
debar reporters from Prof. Washingtons
room last Friday against Prof. Washing
tons wishes, and they were afterward adj
mitted over Fortunes protest. I fear YOU
Mr.. Fortune will do Prof. Washington
greater injustice by letting the world know
that you are personal friend OF his than
my expressing an opinion as to his Repub-
licanism.
OF all men 1 think you would be the last
man Prof. Washington would call upon to
speak for him. Your record for incendiary
utterances, by way of advice to our race,
Is in great contrast 10 the extreme conser-
VatiVe advice given by Prof WASHINGTON
Again, there is no man of the race that has
been more vacillating on questions affect
ing the interest of our race than you:
hence, hereafter let Prof. Washington do
his own talking. He needs no defense in
the person of T. Thomas Fortune.
