STRATEGY vs.. GAMBLERS
BICYCLEMEN TURN A TRICK ON
NEGRO CRAP SHOOTERS.
A Game in a North Side Stable An
nOying to Neighbors Successfully
Raided by Them.

The presence of four bicycle policemen
in the usually quiet neighborhood of Sew
enteenth and Meridian streets. followed by
the noise made by crashing glass and tim
bers, easily excited the vicinity last night
about s o'clock. Griffin, Hull, Simon and
Morgan had been ordered to go to stable
in the rear of 1726 North Meridian street
where DR.. Walker keeps a horse. The
hostler, 1t Is charged, had been running a
crap game in the stable for long time.
A number of complaints were made about
1t. The stable is a two-story structure,
with ten openings. There is a large OPEN
ing at the side of the stable near the roof
where hay is put in. The police have been
unable to get near the barn when it was
known gambling was in progress on ac-
count of lookout" who was sitting in
the opening.
Last night at dusk the four bicycle po-
licemen rode up to within several hundred
feet of the place and then took their lamps
from the wheels. Morgan and Simon sta
toned themselves in an alley, while Hull
and Griffin sought an entrance. AS the po-
licemen neared the barn the light in the
upper story was seen to go out. When
door and window tightly barred. He could
hear muff1ed whispering inside. Not getting
an answer to his repeated calls. he burst
open a door leading to the upper rooms, and
Griffin followed. Glass, windows, doors
and timbers were knocked from their fas-
Jennings as the excited negroes tried to es-
cape. Men jumped out of windows regard
less of results. One negro, in going through
an opening, fell and cut himself severely
Walter Williamson, one of the men arrest
ed, suffered cuts on both hands as he tried
to pull out broken glass. Several of the
men in escaping broke open the windows
and doors in barn next door. The police
were able to capture five men. One of the
negroes in trying to escape slid down a
feed chute, and IL being too small at the
bottom to allow his getting away, he be-
gan crying for help. when the police came
to his rescue. The men arrested gave thell
names as William Thompson, 1745 NORTH
Pennsylvania street; Lester Milligan, AL

PROSPECTS GROW BRIGHT
NUMEROUS SMALL SUBSCRIPTIONS
RECEIVED BY CANvAssERS.
Committee of Ten Requests Pledges
should Be Sent TO-Day-Grand
Roster Being Prepared.

To-day and tomorrow are expected TO be
the big days in the work of collecting SUBJ
scriptions for the technical institute. The
committee of ten hopes TO have the fund
completed by Wednesday. The committee
looks for several thousand 81 subscriptions
in the next two days. The advance mail
yesterday contained more than one hun
dred 81 pledges. many of them accompanied
by 81 bills. This was very gratifying to
the committee, as it indicated the interest
of the people as a whole.
Saturday the committee of ten reported
total subscription of s2266. Since then
the mails have brought pledges for s4ol.5o,
making total received by the committee
of $2,e67.5O. The employees of the Journal
subscribed $25, employees of the Sun $3.50,
employees of Kothe Wells & Bauer SIS, and
fifteen individual subscriptions from the
Havens & Geddes Company aggregate $50.
The committee is assured by heads OF many
business houses that lists of large SUB
scriptions by their employees will be sent In
to-day.
Another out-of- town subscription was re-
ceived yesterday. Harry Joseph, of Mum
Gle, sent IS. Recognition of the fact that
the scope of the technical institute is more
than city or State, but is national is rap
idly growing and the committee looks for
many more subscriptions from out or town.
The committee is preparing a grand
roster of subscribers which will be pub
hshed as soon the fund is completed.
The names will be printed in full or ini-
tials will be used as subscribers may de-
sire.
Every one is urged TO send in his sub
scription to-day, as tomorrow is the last
of the month, and an effort is being made
to complete the popular subscription by
Oct. /.
Miss Alice Cullens musicale, to be given
at the Propylaeum tomorrow night for
the benefit Of the technical institute, bids
fair to be a success in every way. The
advance sale of seats is large. Horace
Woods livery stable, the Meridian stables
and the Indianapolis Transfer Company
have donated carriages for the use Of those
who will take part in the musicale. The
committee of ten expects that a handsome
sum will be realized for the fund. The
programme was printed in the Journal
Saturday.
1t is expected by the canvassers, George
W.: Brown and Albert Sahm. that they
will be able to announce in a day or two
the increase of the fund by several large
subscriptions, $1,000 each or more. A num-
Der OF wealthy men of the city have sig
nified their intention to do something for
the school, but have deferred making their
donation. 1t is believed that they will be
ready to give the first of this week.

Hugh Mccormack, a young man living at
3O1 West McCarty street, was found in his
stable, yesterday morning about Z o'clock
covered with blood and unconscious. Nc
Cormack was hastily taken to the City Dis
pensary, where an examination of his in
juries disclosed large cash on the top
of the head which had severed two small
arteries. Mccormack was unconscious
from the loss of blood. He revived during
the morning and told how he had received
his injuries. He said he had been drinking
Saturday night with Dan WEIGH and James
Dalton.
About 4 o'clock yesterday morning the
trio went to McCormacks stable where
they went to sleep. Mccormack claims he
was being robbed by another man who
came in after the three arrived at the
barn. He said he felt the man going
through his pockets. and when he at
tempted to stop him the man kicked him
IN the side. Mccormack said he got up and
him against stove. In falling Mccormack
said he received the cash on the head
WEIGH and Dalton, becoming alarmed at
the great amount of blood Mccormack was
losing. took him to several women in the
neighborhood to have the wound dressed
The arteries were severed, and despite all
the means the women used they could NOT
stop the blood. Mccormack was taken
back to the barn by his companions and
left. 1t is thought his injuries are not
serious.

MYSTERY AND QUIETUDE.


The air of mystery that pervades Demo-
cratic State headquarters in the Lombard
building has led to the suspicion that per-
haps the Democratic managers are In the

that the campaign in this county would not
only be "gum-shoe' affair, but that II

The State committee is certainly making
no noise. For several weeks Chairman
O'Brien, with the child-like and bland smile

has announced that the committee would
meet one of these days. The meeting has
not been held and the Democrats have had
no public opening of their campaign How
ever. B. F. Shively has been down in the
Second district campaigning and "har-
monizing" the forces. The startling an
nouncement comes from the Second district
that the Democrats of Greene county have

reasons for this. One Is that R. W. Miers' $

Coffee futures opened steady, unchanged

acute in near months, which were ham

little by the bull clique, which led to the
belief that the latter have abandoned
