THIS CASE SADLY MIXED
MORE LIGHT ON THE FAMILY
TROUBLES OF THE WARDS.
Pictures That Experts Said Were
Worth a Small Fortune Involved in
One Suit-Osher Court Cases.

The suit of Mary Ward as next friend Of
Jennie Ward against the girls father to
set aside deed for three lots made by
Wards wife. that is pending in Judge
Leathers's court. might as well not have
been filed. The records in the county
recorders Office show that Ward decided
Christmas present.
The suit was brought on the alleged
ground that Ward only held the property
in trust for his children, according to an
agreement before his wife died. and that
he was about to dispose OF them. The COM
plant alleges that the suit was brought to
secure the property for the children
In an affidavit filed by Thomas Ward he
asserts that he is the victim of conspiracy
between his mother and brother, Steve
Ward. who are attempting to embarrass
him and ruin his business. 1t is also
charged that the suit was filed without the
knowledge or consent of Jennie Ward. who
is nine years old. An affidavit signed by
Jennie Ward substantiates that or her
attached to affidavits stating that their
ia Their has treated them kindly. provided
for them and sends them to school
The deciding of the property 10 the emil
dren was voluntary and without the knowl-
edge of the attorneys for either the plain
tiff or defendant.
The estrangement between Thomas ward
and his mother and brother is most bitter,
and another case in which Thomas Ward
claims to be the victim of their effort to
embarrass him is replevin suit Tor the
possession of what are purported TO be
original paintings that is pending In the
Circuit Court.
Some months ago story was given
publicity to the effect that Thomas Ward
had suddenly and Unexpectedly come into
possession of q small fortune. This fortune
consisted of a number of pictures. Fol-
Lowing the publication Mrs. Ward claimed
the pictures belonged to her. According to
her story they were stored with furniture
in barn which burned. and 1t was sup
Iosed the pictures were destroyed. Ward
refused TO give them up and replevin suit
was instituted, asking for possession or
the pictures or 81 500.
The exact value of the pictures could not
be stated, and experts were asked TO place
estimates upon their worth. These esti-
mates run all the way from 500 to $4,000
At that time people visited the pawnshop
tC feast their eyes upon the rare pictures.
Many of the experts VINO viewed the pic
lures and are considered authority on art
and painting, pronounced them of the high
est grade, and an attachment at once
sprung up between the experts and the
paintings. II now develops that the paint
ings that are being sued for are nothing
more than photographic engravings of the
original copies, and, consequently, are pur-
chasable for many dollars less that the
value named by the experts.

FOR THE NATIONAL GUARD.
A Dill Appropriating 100000 May Be
Introduced.

Several senator's and members of the
House met with a number of representa-
tives Of the Indiana National Guard in the
parlor of the Lieutenant Governor at the
Statehouse last night and informally dis
cussed legislation looking toward the bet
terment OF the present condition Of the Ma
tional Guard in this State. Before separat-
ing those present at the meeting decided to
say nothing at present about any particular
matter or measures discussed by them, but
it was learned that there was general
disposition among the lawmakers present
to favor any measure in reason.
tt is the understanding that at the con-
ference last night 1t was decided to have a
bill drawn, or perhaps two which would
be introduced In both houses asking for an
appropriation of 100000 for the better
equipment of the National Guard of the
State. Adjutant General Gore, who was
present at the meeting, said after the con-
ference was over, that with an appropria-
ton of this kind the guard would be in
creased to the limit allowed by law. which
is forty-eight companies of infantry and
three batteries.

The last part of your editorial on i'm

right along in that line. In the first place,
let me ask the Legislature TO give the
young men a chance. For instance. have
a piece OF real estate that is worth $1,000
An enterprising young man wants 1t. but
las only $500. l take what he has and
notes for 50 coo. with mortgage for balance,
and give him deed. The State makes me
pay taxes justly on the 5000 and makes
fse young man pay on the $1,000 he has in
A. but (shame 10 say makes him pay taxes
an the -. 90 he owes me- Let US have a
law that when the one holding the mort
gage pays taxes in the county where the
property Is located the one owing the same
shall be exempt for that much. With such
q law the borrower could afford TO pay a
resident / per cent. more than "a nonresi-
dent In that way we would get more per-

TO WIPE OUT VICE.


Frank Caldwell, of the citizens anti-vice
committee of North Indianapolis, accepting
Mayor Taggart's invitation for information
relative to winerooms and road houses.
yesterday, in letter, informed the mayor
of four such places in that part of the city.
and stated that he had much evidence to
give If 1t will be acted upon.
The mayor has declared that the wine
room, beer garden and saloon-w WITHHOLDING
accommodation evils shall be wiped out,
and his request for explicit evidence will
no doubt result in hundreds of letters from
those whose families suffer the most.
Mayor Taggart yesterday repeated his or
ders of six weeks ago to Superintendent
Quigley relative to taking decisive action
to close the disreputable places. The SUI
perintendent says the orders will be obeyed
and last night gave the patrolmen addi-
tional orders TO this end.
