REASON FOR A RECEPTION
MEN AND WOMEN JOLLIFIED OVER
NEIGHBOR's MISFORTUNE.
William c. Linn on Trial, Charged
with Stealing from Railroad
Company.

William c. Linn, an employee of the Big
Four Railroad, who was arrested two
weeks ago charged with stealing several
carloads of coal, several hundred bushels
of wheat and a number of car doors from
the railroad company, was on trial yester-
day afternoon in Police Court before Judge
Stubs. The testimony was not concluded
and Judge Stubs postponed the case until
Monday afternoon at o'clock.
After the case was called more than
thirty witnesses were introduced who spoke
we'll of Inns character. One of the wit
nesses was a wholesale coal dealer named
Reynolds, who testified that Linn had pur-
chased several cars of coal from him. say
ing he was going into the retail coal busi-
ness this winter. Arthur Gillette, president
of the Acme Milling Company. testified that
he had bought considerable wheat from
Linn. The latter. and several of his friends.
explained the possession of the wheat by
saying a car was recently wrecked near the
Belt and the wheat was spilled on the
ground. About ten other men swept UP
the wheat and took it to their homes.
Later they sold 1t to different mills. Linn
admitted that he had number OF car
doors at his home and said he obtained
these from brakemen on passing trains
They threw them off and he got them TO
build stalls for his coal.
During the trial several witnesses were
called who claimed they did not have a
liking for either Mr.. or Mrs. Linn. One
woman in particular said that after the
arrest she was so elated over the mans
misfortune that she gave a reception al
her home and invited the other women and
men who did not like the. Linns and the
arrest was discussed by an at the recep-
ton. On the witness stand this woman
undertook to tell Attorney orion and
Prosecutor Collins what questions they
should ask her. Every time she spoke il
was with the greatest severity concerning
the Linns.
1t was also said during the trial by sew.
eral railroad men who worked with Linz
that they were confident that he had done
no wrong and that his arrest had beer
made by a jealous road officer who took
action before he had obtained any evidence
The plumber said to have been stolen was
never concealed by Linn and for this rea.
son they thought he did not steal it. The
railroad company is holding Inns jot
open for him if he is acquitted.

EXTENSION is NECESSARY
TECHNICAL INSTITUTE CANvASSERS
NEED MORE TIME.
Request VIII he Made Of the War
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Now
Aggregate $4,000.

An effort will be made at once by the
promoters of the technical institute to
secure from the secretary Of war an ex-
tension of time in which to raise the
amount necessary to purchase the arsenal
has been enlisted and he has assured the
canvassers-George w. Brown and Albert
Sahm-that he will do all in his power
to convince Mr.. Root that so worthy an
enterprise should be assisted in every man.
ner. Mr. Fairbanks is of the opinion that
the secretary of war will grant the extern
sion, which will be asked for ten days.
Mr.. Root will be at his desk at the War
Department Sept. Is, and the request for
more time will be laid before him almost
as soon as the report Of the army board
which visited here.
I'VE have made up our minds,' said
George W. Brown last night, that this
project must not fail. We have raised near
ly $4,000 so far, the amount being slightly
more than $4,000, and l am convinced that
the remaining $4,000 can be secured with
in the next fifteen days. L don't think ii
could be raised by the 18th of the month.
and an extension of time on the part of
the department will be necessary | have
talked to Senator Fairbanks, and he gives
me every encouragement. He blieves that
when the matter is presented TO the at
tention of Mr.. Root that he will not be
averse to ordering the extension we wish.
I'VE have some good things in sight.
Several wealthy men have promised us
that they intend doing something for the
school, and while do not know how much
they are going TO subscribe, they are not
the kind of men who give pennies where
dollars are necessary. At the same time
we have every hope that smaller sub
scriptions will begin TO come in. In a num-
Der of factories and business houses the
cashiers or bookkeepers have constituted
themselves committees 10 boom the project
and 10 collect subscriptions from employees
There a good many people who al
ways hold back TO the last minute in a
thing of this kind, and l believe that sub
| scriptions will commence TO roll in"
Yesterday was a good day for the can.
vassers Nearly $1,000 was added TO the
| fund, the principal contribution being from
| the Indianapolis Water Company. which
gave 81 900 Joseph y. Rink gave $780, ano
| the Daniel Stewart Drug Company $3.50
| There were number of smaller subscrip
| lions that brought the total up to $1,000.
1.-The project will not fall" said Mr.
i Brown. Il do not think that Indianapoli:
| will let the school go by default after
| $50 900 has been subscribed. We intend Il
| redouble efforts in the next two weeks
| and If we secure the extension of time tn,
school will be a certainty"

INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM.
EItweed Pomery, an Apostle Of 1t, Wis.,
it's the City.

Eltweed Pomery. of Newark. N. j., pres
ident of the National Direct Registration
League, and editor of the Direct Regis
tration Record. a publication devoted to
the cause of the initiative and the referen-
dunn, Is at the Grand Hotel. Mr.. Ponfery
is In the city on private business. Last
night he discussed the advance of the in
itiative and referendum movement.
Direct registration is growing rapidly in
popular favor" he said. "Oregon has
adopted a constitutional amendment pro-
viding for the operation of the initiative
and the referendum, Utah adopted it in
1899 and South Dakota in 1898. Il is already
in the charters of the cities of San Fran
cisco and Seattle, and in those of Mime
apolis, Detroit and Nashville in so far as
voting on franchises is concerned. 1t is
used with satisfaction to the people in
Ontario, Canada, and in many States of the
Union Ii Is becoming more and more an is
sue instead of theory.
LAS to its advantages there can be no
question. 1t places the responsibility for
all acts upon the shoulders of the people.
where the responsibility really belongs. 1t
insures publicity in all matters affecting
the public treasury, and there can be no
possibility of such a thing as a Job when
the initiative and the referendum is In
vogue. 1t puts 1t out of the power of city
councils to accept brides for awarding
valuable contracts, since councils mani
testify would be unable to deliver the
goods If there had been in st. Louis
such thing as direct registration there
would now be no such scandals as that
with which the citizens of the Missouri
metropolis have to deal.
Local option is but an application OF
direct registration, and the operation OF
local option has been sufficiently satisfac-
tory when given a fair trial to show that
thing for the people.
MY opinion is that very few years will
see the question of direct registration a
burning issue in all elections, national as
well as state and local."

Judge BrOvnlee I'm Town.

Judge Hiram Brownlee. of Marion, was in
Indianapolis yesterday and took lunch at
the Columbia Club. He expects to resign
his place on the Superior Bench at Marion
within a few weeks. His term expires in
December. but he desires TO be footloose
before that time. Judge Brownlee will
take part in the campaign this fall and this
is one reason why he wishes to retire
from the bench before the expiration of his
term of office. There isn't much politics
being talked in our county," he said yes
terday. Everybody seems too busy MAX

TWO WELL-KNOwN MEN.


Secretary Of Agriculture James Will

of whom spoke at the Montgomery county

the Columbia Club last night.

that is already pretty well known-that is.
the condition of crops in Indiana. 1 was
really surprised to see how fine everything
looks. The farmers of this State are very
fortunate this year."

Activity mt Marion.

1.-THE streets of Marion on Saturday and
Monday are like Indianapolis's principal
streets on a holiday" remarked George
Osborn, of Marion, who was at the Hotel
English yesterday. 81 think a good deal
of this business progress that we are dis
playing lately is due to the discovery of oil
in Grant county. Parts of the county are
actually thick with oil wells. The failure
of gas in Grant county would not hurt our
town nearly so bad now as 1T would
eighteen months ago, or before we began to
get OIL OF course We expect gas to fail
some day, but we are not alarmed about
>the failure of the oil wells. If gas should
fail some of our factories would probably
leave. but we would keep the most of them
and Marion would continue to improve"
