ROSE ARRESTED.
wabash Treasurer Indicted by the
County Grand Jury.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
WABASH, Ind, Oct. 2.-John B. Rose,
former city treasurer of Wabash, was
placed under arrest by Sheriff Stewart this
afternoon on a grand jury warrant. Mr..
Rose was not surprised when informed by
the officer that he was wanted, ii having
been understood as early as Tuesday even
ing. when the grand jury adjourned, that
a bill had been found against him. The
sheriff gave Rose the privilege of procur-
ing bondsmen for his release, Judge Shively
having fixed the amount of the bond at
5000. and he procured a number of sigma
lures during the day. His bondsmen as
city official, who have been treated gener-
ously by Charles S. Rose. brother of John
r., are willing to aid Rose to the extent OF
affording every facility for getting on his
feet again, and there is no question but
that he will now act the man and face the
charges against him.
The city has not yet ascertained officially
the amount of the shortage, the examina-
tion having been made in a perfunctory
way, but an expert is now being negotiated
with. and the minute 1t is known officially
that shortage exists the bOndSmen, to
whom every dollars worth of property
owned by Rose has been assigned, will pay
the money into the treasury, so that, save
in a technical sense, there will be no de-
falcation Nearly $500 I'm cash has already
been paid into the treasury.

Combat with Officers.

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 2.-Three park po-
licemen and plain-clothes man ran afoul
the students of the University of Mime
sofa this morning, and came out of the
fray ingloriously worsted. The controversy
arose over the attempts of the park police
to arrest students who ride bicycles on
the walks along the street through the
campus, over which the park board has
jurisdiction. Yesterday the students res
cued one of their number who was arrested,
and drove the policeman off.
This morning Superintendent Berry sent
four men to assert the boards authority.
The students promptly hustled three of
them off the campus and loaded them into
passing street cars. The plain-clothes man
was tied to tree with a garden hose. The
officers displayed their revolvers and
threatened to shoot. but the students re-
fused to take the threat seriously.

HOME RULE IS KILLED
OHIO HOUSE VOTES DOWN A MUNICH
PAL CODE AMENDMENT.
Bitter Attack on German Newspapers
and Municipal Advertising-New
Law as to City Treasures.

COLUMBUS, o., Oct. 1.-THE principle of
home rule for the government of Ohio
municipalities was unceremoniously buried
for the remainder of the extra session this
morning. The amendment which Repre-
sentative Meisel could not offer Monday
because of a ruling by the speaker was this
morning introduced by Price, of Athens.
He did not give up the floor until he had
been recognized, and then he made long
and vigorous speech in support of the
amendment. Meisel, one of Tom L. John
sons ablest followers. was ready to take
UP the argument where Price left off, but
under cover of an effort to reply to Price,
Thomas, of Huron, got the floor and moved
the previous question. Amid a storm of
protests the debate was shut off and the
amendment defeated by a strict party vote
of "a to 46, Price. of Athens, and Jones, Of
Lucas voting with the Democrats.
Willis, of Hardin, made a bitter attack
on German newspapers and made a vigor-
Gus effort to amend the code so as TO de-
prive them of the right to enter into con-
tract with municipal councils for printing
ordinances, resolutions and public notices.
This was defeated and Willis undertook
to abolish all kinds of municipal adyertis-
ing IN the newspapers.
The House made considerable progress
with the municipal code this afternoon.
All the sections relating to organization
of cities were considered, and also those
providing for police courts. Many changes
were made in the code. but few OF them
were OF great Importance. and the organ
ization remains practically as reported by
the special committee. An amendment by
Mr.. Dunlap was adopted, making the max
imum salary OF a councilman $500 All city
officers and employees are to be paid semi
monthly.
An amendment was offered providing that
a city treasurer be elected in all cities ex-
cept that In county seats no treasurer
be elected but the county treasurer per-
form the duties of city treasurer at a COM
pensation not exceeding $500 per year.
Every lawyer in the House denounced the
provision az unconstitutional. but the lay
members carried the amendment by a vote
of 90 TO rs
The advocates OF the federal plan made
one more attempt to secure the adoption
of their system of government Mr.. Dun
lap, of Cuyahoga. moved that the director
of public safety be appointed by the mayor.
Only fourteen members OF the House IA
vored the proposition. while fifty went on
record as against it.

SAYS CAPTAIN JoHANNsEN WANTED
TO BE THE WHOLE THING.
Got Into a Row with the lee Pilot and
the Arctic Explorer Took
Hand i'm the Affair.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2-Evelyn b. Baldwin,
the Arctic explorer, arrived to-day the
steamship Germanic, of the White Star
line. Mr.. Baldwin at first refused to talk
about the alleged controversies which had
taken place between him and Captain Jo-
hansen, of the America, but after hearing
that II had been reported that the expedi-
ton had been short of food and supplies he
made the following statement:
There is not a word of truth in the re-
port of our not having sufficient supplies.
1t is easy to explain the trouble between
myself and Captain Johannsen. He wanted
to be the whole thing. That's all. The
trouble first started between the captain,
or, to give him his proper title, sailing mas
ter, and the ice pilot, whose name is Arm
sen. The ice pilot took up his place in the
crows nest on the ship when we were in
the ice fields and should have had. and
eventually did have, complete charge OF the
directing of the ship. The sailing master
objected to the ice pilot holding absolute
sway over the movements of the ship at
any time. and that is how the row began.
l. of course, took the side of the pilot and
saw that he was kept In command while
we were in the ice. The pilot had had
twenty-nine years experience in the ice
fields, while the sailing master had had
practically none.
1.-The expedition went away with forty
two persons on board, and we brought back
the same number. The Fran drifted around
in the ice for four years, while In one year
we did almost much and established an
outpost. Why, We ought to be congratu-
lated instead Of. as you say in America.
jumped on. / have learned one good les
son, though-never take Swede and a
Norwegian together along with you II you
want to avoid trouble. The ice pilot was .
Norwegian and the sailing master a Swede.
There's the whole thing in a nutshell
In response TO Mr.. Baldwin's request for
information regarding any charges made
against him. he was shown a published In
terview with j. Knowles Hare, an artist on
the expedition, who recently arrived mere.
The interview stated that there had been
a disgraceful row between the captain OF
the America and Baldwin. and also that
there had been an insufficient food supply.
Mr.. Baldwin was also informed that +. s.
Vineyard, OF Durango, Col. the first MEN,
Der of the expedition TO arrive In America,
had said that he would never go north
again with Mr.. Baldwin.
'I don't believe It," said the explorer.
"why, neither OF these men have any cause
to say anything against me. Every one
was treated fairly, and no one can say
truthfully that he was not. IL i go again
next year, no matter who i take with me,
whether they be Zulus, Hottentots or white
men, there are sure to be some kickers In
the crowd. The members of this expedition
them had ever undertaken such trip be-
fore. This might explain some of the
things said about me, but am being done
a great Injustice"
