POLSTER FOR SAFETY BOARD.
Ii Is Said He Is slated If Democrats
Are Successful.

1t has leaked out that Charles Polster,
the India"na-avenue saloon keeper and a cog
in the wheel of the Democratic machine,
has been slated for a place on the Board
of Safety. From what can be learned it
appears that the Democratic managers
cont want Mr.. POlster in the position
which he c%ovets, but are so situated that
they can't help it. A Democrat, who was
formerly a member of the city committee,
said last night that he had often been dis
gusted with the way Polster dominated
the committee, but that what he said usu-
ally went Ii is known that Mr.. Polster's
greatest ambition is 10 become the chief
of police, but that even he knows the
people of indianapolis would not submit to
his appointment 10 that place. and he has
therefore decided to take the next best
thing which would afford him an oppor-
tunity in an indirect way of protecting his
friends through the police department.
The Democratic slate up TO date con-
templates Joseph F.. Bell for city attorney.
James +. Quigley for superintendent of po-
lice. Albert Sahm for president of the
Board of Works and Charles Polster for
president OF the Board of Safety.

he was counted out of the nomination at
the instance of the Democratic machine.
According TO the expense accounts filed by
the various candidates Mr.. Cox was the
only one of the three candidates for police
judge who paid an assessment TO the city
committee. Mr.. Cox was compelled &c
fork over $25. and this money presumably
helped to pay the expenses of the primaries.
The expense account of E. w. Little. who
received the nomination for police Judge.
showed that he spent 81 for printing and 81
for incidentals, but no mention was made
Of an assessment by the city committee.
Mr.. Cox also claims that Little was given
an unfair advantage by having his name
in the first place on the primary ticket. He
says that his petition was filed first and
that under the law he should have been
given first place on the ballots.

GIRL N TO DIE.
Maude of vfncennes, How
ever, Took Too Much Morphine.

Maude Dempsey, a sixteen-year-old girl
from Vincennes, who came here Sunday
with a young man giving the name of Hal
Hart, attempted suicide yesterday at 81
Adelaide street, where they had taken
rooms, by taking 30 cents worth of NOR
phine. She took too large a dose to get the
full effects. and to this no doubt was due
the fact that she did not die. DR.. Kennedy,
of the City D~ispensary, attended her. She
had a quarrel with Hart, who was little
concerned as to the result of her effort.
He said, IF she wants to go that way let
her 60" He said he would take her back
home this morning. Hart is about twenty
five years old.
