PITIED THE BURGLAR
IRIS SHERLOCK PLEADED WITH
HER HUSBAND TO DESIST.
He Was About to Strike a Midnight
Marauder with n Chair-Ex-
citing Experience.

When, at12 o'clock midnight, Mrs. George
Sherlock. living at 9S2 West North street,
awoke her husband and said there were
burglars in the house, Sherlock did not
hesitate. He jumped from his bed, grabbed
a lamp, which had been turned low and
was extinguished by the sudden jerk, and
went at once to the kitchen, where in the
lark he bounced upon a man who had en-
tered his house. The burglar tried to get
away, and was almost succeeding. when
Sherlock picked up a chair and would have
struck the man over the head with 1T had
it not been for Mrs. Sherlock's pleading.
She was afraid he might be injured. The
fellow then, by hard struggling, got away
from Sherlock and John Mcbride, who
came in from the house adjacent, and start
ed for the door. He ran against Charles
Timer, who occupies the east half Of the
double house in which Sherlock lives. Timer
heard the noise and went out of the rear
in time to catch the burglar, who received
from Timer a hard blow in the face. Two
of the men then guarded their prisoner
while the third found a telephone and
called the police.
When the lights were brought in again
some of the men recognized the prisoner
as Jack" Davis, the son of Patrick Davis,
a saloon keeper at sol Patterson street and
an ex-member of the police force. Young
Davis, after realizing his position. began to
cry. He said little or nothing in explana-
ton of his presence in the house. BY the
time the bicycle police arrived he was in
an ugly mood and declared he would not
be taken by them from the house.. His
fighting only resulted in further personal
for he had not been searched
and the officers were not disposed TO take
any chances. After being subdued he was
glad to leave the house and take passage
10 police headqcarters in the patrol wagon
without further trouble.
When first caught Davis called for some
one. Mr.. Sherlock and his wife said they
thought the name was Finley or Finnigan,
but they were not sure. At any rate, no
assistance came to the young burglar, but
1t was thought he had pals on the out
side. He secured entrance by rails
ing. a window from which a screen
had been torn, but had no time to
search the house or secure anything of
value before Mrs. Sherlock gave the alarm
and her husband had stopped his work.
Davis lives only about a square from the
house he had entered and is well known in
the neighborhood. Those who knew him
were somewhat surprised, but said he was
a bad sort of fellow, though they knew
of no trouble which he had been i'm other
than with his father, who, ii was said, was
unable 70 control him.
Several of the ~neighbors say they have
heard persons about their homes late at
right and a few minutes before Davis was
caught in Sherlock's part of the house, Mrs.
Timer was awakened by a noise in the rear
of their apartments. Later it was found
the screen over the transom had been torn
off and an effort made TO get into the house
by climbing over the door.

sence, and fear he. has met with disaster

wife's mother, rear Traders Point, OF to
Brownsburg, and messages were sent to
those places. No word having been re-
ceived last night, the disappearance was
reported TO the police. Later, Dickerson's

ported he thought it useless to hunt for
him, as a note had been found stating

no trouble with his family and no reason
for his leaving.

The Selection Of a Trustee

The popular tendency toward the Trust
Company as a trustee Is easily found when
comparisons are drawn. Every one has
knowledge of an individual trustee who has
defaulted and robbed those whom he was
appointed to protect. No such experience
ever followed the appointment of a trust
company to any such responsibilities. IL
any trust be committed to an individual
there is no assurance thai he will live 10
execute il, or that he will keep In such
fealth as will enable him to give IL the
proper attention. Unexpected mental de-
rangements may come 10 him. and II IN
health he will need recreation. or he may
have business of his own that takes him
away from home at a time when the in
terests of the trust demand his presence.
The Trust Company never dies; IL never
~absconds; ii Is never away on vacation; IL
is never sick: IL is always at home. and is
existence is not affected by war. pestilence
or famine" Above all, IL Is always espon
sible. and has an invaluable reputation.
which its managers are ever jealous TO
protect and enhance.

CONDITION OF TWO MEN.
pueer Conduct of Harry Glover and
Charles T. yickers.

Though the actions of insane men and
women are not usually regarded as SUBJ
Iects of amusement. those of Harry Glover
and Charles T. vickers. both of whom were
locked up at police headquarters early yes
terday morning, caused considerable
amusement 70 fr~equenters of the police
station last night. Hover was sent in for
running about on South Illinois street in
his night shirt Vickers was found by a
Merchant policeman. and. being unable to
give a satisfactory account of himself. was
sent In for lettering. The men occupy the
ground floor cells which adjoin each other.
Glover was continually trying to get what
he thought were large chunks of ice and
blocks of wood through the bars, and
worked with an energy which, rightly used,
would Iva accomplished more than most
workmen do. Vtckers was very quiet until
Glover heard him and began telling him
TO hurry with 'the AK and pick" where
upon he tried to get around to where Glow
er was and to assist him. Appeals were
made to every one who looked into the
cells for assistance in accomplishing the
-seIf-irnposed tasks Glover says he lives
at Cincinnati and Vickers claims Upton
as his home.

Representative James A. Hemenway
Sounds a Note of Warming.
Representative James A. Hemenway, of
the First district, spent a few hours at
the Denison Hotel last night, in consulta-
ton with State Chairman Hernly and Col.
Winfield T. Durbin. Mr.. Hemenway left
for Terre Haute at 11:2O. but before enter
ing the carriage which took him to the
station he talked to a Journal reporter of
political conditions.
are going to carry the First district
this fall by a big majority" said Mr.. Hem
nway. 'for we nave not only got the best
of the Democrats on the issues, but our
organization in The Pocket was never
in better shape than 1T is now"
What do you know about the rumor
that the Democrats have succeeded in get
ting hold of considerable money for cam
paign purposes" Mr.. Hemenway was
asked.
II understand that at their State. head
quarters in Indianapolis they are display
ing marked signs of prosperity and Ii is
the same way dow I'm our part of the
State. There is no use Disgusting the fact
that the Republicans of Indiana have a
great fight on their hands. and they had
just as well prepare TO meet ii. The DEM
ocrats are going to mass their forces in
confidence. There is no need of us losing
the election. but We have got to make a
stiff light If there ever was a time when
the loyal people of this Nation should rally
10 the support of the government, now is
the time. and | believe they will do IL TO a
man. At present the line is drawn sharply
between d~isloyalty, and I'm my opinion a
self-respecting citizen of this glorious gov
eminent will hesitate a long time before
he goes TO the polls and records a vote
which will stamp him as being opposed TO
his country i'm her hour OF greatest need.
The people of this country are made of
better stun than 10 elect as President a
man who is attacking the chief magistrate
of the Nation for a policy to which he
was urged by the manifest desire OF the
whole people"
