CHARLESTON EXPOSITION.
George III. Aubrey Now i'm the City in
Its Interest.

Governor Durbin received a visit yester-
day afternoon from George II. Aubrey.
special commissioner of the Charleston
Is. c. Interstate n West Indian expo
sition, for which Senator Tillman recently
sition. Mr.. Aubrey is a ine-looking man
and an easy, graceful, entertaining talker.
He came TO indianapolis from Cincinnati,
and intends TO make an extensive tour OF
large cities of the North. His purpose is to
try 10 interest cities and States In the ex-
position in order TO persuade them TO pro-
vide for representation at the affair.
He stated last night that Philadelphia,
Baltimore, New York and the States Of
Pennsylvania Rhode Island, Massachusetts.
Connecticut, Missouri, Arkansas, Utah and
Colorado, in addition 10 most OF the South
ern States, have arranged TO be represented
in some adequate form at the exposition.
Il am sorry / did not get here earlier IN
Aubrey. Il think ii would have been i
good thing for Indiana to have been repre-
scented at this exposition. South Carolina
uses a good many Indiana products and is
getting TO use more and more of them all
the time. l think we take most of your
comes OF all the mules you ship to South
Carolina, for / have never seen a dead one
yet. Cities and States in the North will do
well 10 let the South find out about their
resources, for the South is progressing in
development in every direction. We South
crnerS are getting more money each year
with which 10 buy outside products. and
our trade is worth going after, In my
opinion. We were anxious 10 nave Indiana
represented in a respectable manner as a
State at our exposition, but IL seems out
of the question now"

ANNIE. BELLS COMPLAINT
SHE CHARGES FRANK HAMILTON
WITH FAILURE TO MARRY HER.
She Also Alleges that He Took $3.50 of
Her Money-HamiIton Arrest
cd i'm This City.

Upon complaint Of Miss Annie Bell, a
nurse, Frank Hamilton, also a nurse, was
arrested yesterday by Detectives Splan and
Haley and charged with grand larceny.
Miss Bell claims he got $3.50 belonging TO
her. Her story of the case was in sub
stance that he had secured her confidence,
secured her promise TO marry him. secured
possession of her purse, containing all of
her money, and then deserted her, taking
the money while she was at the Union Sta
ton waiting 10 take a train for Chicago,
where they were to be married.
Their acquaintance, it seems, began at
DR.. Sterne's sanatorium, where Hamilton
had been employed about a year. Miss Bell
was n Woodworking young woman and
went there about four months ago. Two
years ago a legacy of $500 came into her
possession upon the death of an elderly
man to whom she had given much atten-
ton. Hamilton, she claimed, had devoted
himself to her and a short time ago she
promised to marry him. Thursday last she
eft the sanatorium and they were TO go
to Chicago Friday 10 be married. Hamil-
ton accompanied her during a shopping
tour and then the trip was postponed until
Saturday on account of the alleged sick
ness OF Hamilton's sister. Saturday after
moor they went to the Union Station, where
her trunk was checked, and Hamilton, who,
she claimed, had the custody of her purse,
went to buy the tickets She waited until
train time and he did not return. Thinking
after a further delay that something was
wrong she reported the matter to the city
detectives.
Hamilton had lived for some days at 21O
North Capitol avenue, and the landlady
told the detectives that yesterday morning
he had packed his trunk and called a car
riage. He was traced to the home OF his
sister at 907 East Eleventh street. A mes
Senger boy was sent with a decoy letter,
which was received by Hamilton. The de-
tectives then went TO the house and placed
him under arrest.
1t was also learned that he was prepar-
ing 10 GO to Denver, where his brother,
formerly a resident of this city, is prac-
ticing dentistry.
Hamilton denied the charge of theft. He
offered no excuses for the manner in which
he had further postponed the marriage.
DIR. Sterne said last night that Hamilton
had been discharged about a month ago
for what was considered good cause. Miss
Bell went Saturday night to the home of a
family on North New Jersey street which
has taken much interest in her. Yesterday
her watch, which she also claimed Hamil-
ton had in his possession, was returned TO
her by messenger without word as TO the
sender. Miss Bell is said by those well
acquainted with her to be a most Unable
young woman.

WELL-KNOWN INDIANA MAN.
George AIDE Writes to Col. Wilson
About John Il. McCutcheOn.

Col. Charles f. Wilson, secretary TO the
Governor, received an interesting letter
yesterday concerning the condition of John
7. McCutcheon, cartoonist of the Chicago
Record. Mr.. McCutcheon is very we'll
known in Indiana, being a native of La
fayette. where his mother and brother
George still reside. Mrs. McCutcheon is
now with her son at Asheville, N. c., where
he was taken in the hope that the climate
would expedite his recovery.
The letter received by Colonel Wilson
was written by George AIDE, another In
diana boy who has become noted .n the
field of literature, and who was a school
mate of Mr.. McCutcheon. Mr.. AIDE says
that Mr.. McCutcheon is suffering from n
complication of troubles that followed his
attack of pneumonia, and that his strength
has been seriously sapped, although he is
showing considerable Improvement under
the healthful climate OF Asheville. He
says: Mac was pleased to know that
you remembered him and that Governor
and Mrs. Durbin had been good enough TO
inquire about him." Near the end of his
letter he perpetrates a characteristic AIDE
ISM" as follows: Il would have been IN
Indianapolis last month had it not been
for Macs illness. A number of your fell
low-citizens asked me TO drop in, and some
day L am going TO fool them and do It,"
Mr.. McCutcheon, who is the one referred
to in Mr.. AIDES letter by the nickname

career. He was invited to become a men,
Der of the official party making the now
famous cruise around the world on the
revenue cutter McCulloch. By a most for
tunate accident he happened to be in Ma
Mia bay when the great battle took place,
and, as he was the only artist on the spot,
was enabled to furnish the Chicago Record
with a series of remarkable photographs
of the Dewey engagement and an equally
remarkable and graphic account of the af-
fair, TO say nothing of adding tremen-

the dispatch sent by Mr.. McCutcheon TO his
paper amounted to something like 5000.
BY a curious coincidence Mr.. McCutch-
cons lifelong friend. George AIDE. was
the fortunate victim of a somewhat similar
accident. When the Empress of Austria
was fatally stabbed by an assassin Mr.. AIDE
was, by "a fortuitouS combination of cir
)Cumstances. IN the city in which the sor-
rowful event occurred and was an eye
witness to the affair. He. too, was abe
TO supply a story TO his paper that was in
the nature of a beat"

Detectives Holtz and Morgan yesterday
arrested Robert Duncan, Los Seaton, VIII
liam Randolph, William Webb. J. J. Faux
ner. Lon Strange, Silas Hail and Frank
Hurt, all colored, who were charged with
engaging in a policy game. The men were
found in a stable in the rear Of Duncan's
home, at Blake and Hadley streets, after
the detectives frightened a lookout" into
disappearing without giving notice of their
approach. All of the men had the regula-
ton policy slips in their pockets, and upon
seeing the detectives each man tried to tear
beyond recognition the slips in his posses
sion. All were taken to police headquar-
tiers on street cars and were soon released
on bonds furnished by j. w. Reynolds, a
grocer on Blake street. All were supplied
with money. The stable where the men
were arrested is said to have been a rem
devious for a year or more.

CONTROLLER'S FIGURES.
He Again shows that Firemen's Bill
Will Increase Pay Rolls $40, 392.5O.

City Controller Johnson walked into the
office of the Board OF Safety yesterday aft
ernoon. and a discussion Immediately arose
between MIR. Johnson and Chairman Hyde.
of the board, regarding the fremen's bill
just passed by the Legislature. Mr.. John
son criticised the bill and desired to see a
copy of it. Clerk Davis took a copy from
the file rack. and Chairman Hyde feigned
surprise that there had been a copy of the
bill i'm the office and he had not known 1t.
He told Davis to give him information on
such matters hereafter. Mr.. Hyde still in
sisted that he was not familiar with the
Clarke bin. but when Mr.. Johnson cited
several of the sections to which he object
ed Mr.. Hyde showed he knew more about
the bill than he cared to admit.
Mr.. Hyde was asked if he had not pre-
pared a bill some weeks ago TO be intro
duced in the House of Representatives pro-
viding for an increase in the salaries OF
members of the Board of Safety from 5000
TO $1,000 a year. He admitted that he had
prepared such a bill, but when asked why
he did not have il introduced he said he
was told of the iremen's bill and held his
own. He admitted that the Clarke bill
was very similar to the firemen's bill, yet
he criticised Clerk Davis for failing to tell
him he had a copy of the Clarke bill.
Mr.. Johnson read the bill and then fig
ured the cost TO the city of increasing the
firemen'S pay. Chairman Hyde told him
not TO figure on the increase of salaries
allowed members of the Board OF Safety,
and Mr.. Johnson said: That's right; you
will have to resign and then be reappoint-
ed before you will be affected by the in
crease, and the members of the board would
not take chances on resigning. as they
would be afraid of not being reappointed.'
Mr.. Johnson then cited the section per-
tanning to the increase in the pay of cap
tains and creating the office of lieutenant
for each company, and started TO figure on
the basis of thirty companies. Mr.. Hyde
said there We're only twenty-eight COM
panies having captains, and the board has
a right To say what shall be a company.
Mr.. Hyde then offered to bet a cigar that
the city Of Dayton pays more in salaries TO
it's fremen than Indianapolis does. Mr..
Johnson offered to make the bet a 50 hat
instead of a cigar, but Mr.. Hyde said he
did not nave the money TO bet a hat.
Mr.. Johnson Appropriated the increase
of salaries TO the firemen under the Clarke
bill at $40.392.50 annually. The increases
are a . follows.
