G. B. YANDES GIVES $1,000
A BOOM FOR THE MOVEMENT TO
BUY ARSENAL GROUNDS.
The Solicitors Have Secured All but
$4,000 of the Amount Necessary
"A Days Gifts.

Only $4,000 Is necessary TO complete the
fund for the purchase of the Arsenal
grounds, and while the canvassers for the
fund feel encouraged by their successes of
the past few days, they desire to impress
upon everybody the necessity for immediate
action if the movement is to be successful.
They say that even If the time for raising
money is extended to Oct. / there will be
then only twelve days in which to collect
all the money necessary-a space of time
which is extremely limited for the purpose
in hand. George w. Brown, who is con-
Quoting the canvass. said yesterday:
Now that subscriptions aggregate about
$4,000, we feel certain that the technical
school will be a go. 1t would be absurd to
think that Indianapolis people would let
the movement fail with over two-thirds of
the amount necessary raised. 1 should
think that Indianapolis has at least two
or three $4,000 men that have not been
heard from. and several 5000 men. If We
could get several subscriptions Of that size
the rest would be easy sailing, as we are
counting upon a rush of small subscriptions
in the last few days. During the rest of
the time the canvassers will go to work
with renewed energy, and there is a prob
ability that news of large subscriptions
will be given out in a few days"
Yesterdays subscriptions to the fund
amounted to more than 81, 700. George B.
Yandes was the largest subscriber. He
signed his name to a blank that calls for
$1,000. Dickson & Talbot responded liber-
ally with a 500 subscription. Other sub
scriptions were received from the Lilly
Varnish Company, 800; Ernest H. Trip,
800; w. s. Wynn, 800: Horace F. Wood,
SIS; Comstock & Coonse Company, SOS, and
a number of minor subscriptions. The pro-
ceeds of the garden party given by Miss
Stella Adams for the benefit of the fund
amount to $72.57.
The moral effect of the several large sub
scriptions received within the last few days
has been excellent, and the canvassers be.
lieve that these evidences of liberality will
tend to make others come forward with
substantial aid.

ROBBED HER 7


Laura Anderson, a woman twenty-eight
years old, living at 45 East
Louisiana street. was arrested last
night by Detectives Asch and Ward
on the charge Of stealing S3
from her mother, Mrs. Sarah Anderson,
living at 1923 Southeastern avenue. The
money was taken Monday afternoon while
the Anderson woman was working for her
mother. 1t was recovered last night hid
den away under the soil on a farm six
miles, south of Falkland.
The money was the savings of the girls
mother. 1t was in two pocketbooks placed
In a bureau drawer in an upper room.
While the girl was helping her mother do
the washing, she excused herself to go
upstairs to make preparations TO go home.
A short while later she left. She was gone
but a short time when she returned. The
mother then complained of the loss. The
girl assisted her mother in looking for the
money.
Yesterday morning when the mother re-
ported the loss to the detectives, the girl
and q boarder, John Anderson, were sus-
pected. After several hours questioning
the girl confessed that she took the money
and gave 1t to John Anderson who took it
TO his fathers farm in Shelby county and
hid it. Asch and Ward took Anderson
with them yesterday evening and recovered
the money.

NO SPEAKING AT BROOKvILLE.


The Republicans of Brookville were some
what surprised a day or two ago. when
they heard they would lave a political
meeting on Sept. 20. Brookville is one of
the few towns of the State that will not
open the speaking campaign on that date.
The fact is the Republicans are holding off
a little while out of Difference to the Dem
ocrats, who are planning to have a meet
ing that day. In the published list Of
speakers assigned to different towns on the
10th occurred the announcement that L. s.
Baldwin would speak at Brookville. This
was an error. as the arrangements are for
Mr.. Baldwin to speak at Brook, Newton
county, the afternoon of the 10Th. How
ever, the Brookville Republicans were not
aware that a mistake lac been made. and
they soon got into communication with the
speakers bureau. They felt that the an
nouncement hat they were TO have a
speaker on the 10Th would embarrass them
with the Democrats, since they had given
out that they would have no meeting on
that day. Later in the season the Brook
Vile Republicans will be pleased to have
a speech from Mr.. Baldwin or any other
good speaker the committee may send, but
on the 10th they will let the Democrats
have the town.

Chairman Fielding, of the Upton
County Organization, Talks of

IN SOME QUARTERS 1T Is NOT

After Sept. 20, view More Interest
VIII he Taken I'm the Campaign
Political News.

The State fair attractions in the city this
week are bringing many chairmen and Sec
retaries of the Republican county organiza-
preparing to take an active interest in the
Republican campaign. Many of these men
visit the State headquarters In the Ma
Jestic building. One of the prominent men
in town yesterday was A. T. Fielding, who
is at the head of the Upton county COM
mittee. I'VE are having a little trouble
to get our fellows interested" he said yes
terday. 1.-The trouble is they are all busy
and prosperous under these good Repub-
lican times. and they don't feel as IL 1t
was necessary to get out and hustle. They
think they see more prosperity ahead,
whether they hustle or not"
Chairman Fielding thinks, however, that
when the fireworks are set off on the 10th
and the speech-making begins the people
OF his county will become reused and jump
into the fight. Mr.. Fielding has inaugurated
a new plan for getting the Republicans to-
gether in his county. He believes In a
campaign Of heart-to-heart talks, and
thinks he has evolved a plan by which this
can be accomplished. The scheme Is to
hold meetings in the different precincts at
the homes Of men who live in the precincts.
Out in the country these meetings will be
held at farmhouses. The Republicans Of
the precinct are invited there, and some of
the candidates usually attend the meetings.
They put in the time comparing notes and
discussing the situation in this %neighbor-
hood and that.
Mr.. Fielding says the Upton county peo-
pie Will give President Roosevelt a generous
reception on the occasion of his visit to
Upton next week. The event will be nom
partisan I'm character, and great crowds are
expected in town that day.

NAN IN HANDOUTS REJECTED.
Mai. w. f.. Macklin Refused His APP
pIicatfon for Enlistment.

Major w. f. Macklin. OF the local re-
cruiting bureau OF the army. says that
yesterday morning a prisoner I'm handouts
was brought TO the recruiting Office by an
officer who told the sergeant in charge
hat the man wanted TO enlist. The man
accompanying the prisoner stated that the
latter had been promised release from ar
rest IL he would enlist and on these con-
ditions lac asked the recruiting office to
take the prisoner on his hands.
Sergeant Dobbins explained TO 1.-THE two
men that men OF bad character are NOT
wanted in the army. and that he would not
entertain the offer OF enlistment. When
Major Macklin was told OF the occurrence
he became indignant. and says that he
feels that whoever directed the officer 10
bring the man TO the recruiting office owes
both himself as recruiting officer and the
United States army an apology for what he
considers an insult. Major Macklln saws
the first question asked an applicant for
enlistment Il whether on not he has ever
been convicted of a felony or has been in
the hands OF the civil authorities, and N
his moral qualifications are not of a high
standard ne IS rejected.
No trace OF either the man or the officer
who accompanied him could be found. and
Inquiries at the jail. police station, and the
Offices OF the justices or the peace could
not locate the pair.
