thousand persons, and at o'clock left
for Indianapolis.

German consul at Cincinnati, who pre-
sented Mayor Granger of Louisville.
The Mayor presented President Marion
f. Taylor of the Board of Trade and
others of the Reception Committee, and
then formally welcomed the royal Wis
itor to Louisville
Mayor Granger then handed to the
Prince souvenir album. saying as he
did so. that "he hoped the Prince would
look it over at his leisure in order that
he might be reminded that Louisville
was on the map" Prince Henry took
the album with thanks.
The Prince stepped to one side of
the platform and the crowd cheered.
Ee touched his fatigue cap and. en-
couraged by the continued cheers OF
the crowd, stepped upon d bench near
the railing of the platform. For this
extra exertion he got a roar of cheers
from the crowd which he repeatedly
acknowledged by saluting. When the
Prince stepped from the bench Col. H.
s. Cohn of Louisville, Franco Rus
sian war vateran, said to him in Ger
man:
"As one born in Germany. l greet
you in our midst May your friendly
visit to US be of everlasting benefit to
both nations"
Prince Henry warmly shook Col
Cohn's hand and replied in German:
II thank you very much for your
friendly greeting"
Turning to Mayor Granger, Prince
Henry said he was a little hoarse, and,
therefore, would not attempt to make a
speech. He mentioned that a splendid
crowd had turned out to see him, and
then said to the Mayor: e
"Be kind enough to give my thanks
to your people for this royal reeep-
ton"

Pollier, German consul at Cincinnati,
an engrossed address from the Ger
man Soldiers Aid Society of Louisville.

present.
Somebody Shook the Hands.
Prince Henry then boarded his train.
AS he was passing along the side of
the car nearest the crowd, a German
citizen stuck up his hand. and the
Prince shook it. Immediately a score
of hands were at the window. The
Prince. unknown to the crowd, passed
on, but some one in a naval uniform
in the car shook as many hands as
the few minutes that the train re-
manned allowed.
Four hundred members of the So
cial Maennerchoirs Leaderkranz and
Concordia greeted the arrival of the
Prince with America, . and as he re-
entered the train they sung MY Ken
lucky Home" Two bands furnished
music and the crowd which filled the
railroad yard cheered at every OPP
portunity.

selling in building on North Broadway,

arrests last month, and it was after these
arrests that Police Captain Woodruff re-

'Chappie" Moran and Larry Somerfield,
specialists in wire tapping. We're ia the York;
vile police court yesterday. They got there
in the usual way and got out with the usual
result, a discharge. In fact, 30 safe and
profitable has their game become that n
overlapping trust ought to find ready

The victim this time was Hans Kererstein,
German civil engineer. who came to this
country a little while ago to make his for
tune. He brought with him $1,000 and went
to live at 40 Park avenue. He didn't know
much English. but he was able to answer
an advertisement which called for a part
ner. with capital who wanted quick and
large returns Through the advertisement
he met Moran and S,meifi I'D.
kefYcrstein says he entered into a formal
partnership with S)mor.ield to beat the
races through advance news. Papers were
drawn up by which the German was to get
one-third of the profits. Somerfield told
him that he had a brother who was tele-
graph operator and had "cinch' on the
news from the New Orleans racetrack and
suggested a small bet as test The civil
engineer says he handed out a ten-dollar
bill for the test. Somerfield he says, went
around the corner and returned in half an
hour with $500, which he declared he had
got for the ter-dollar bet on the race.
keherstcin promised to come around the
next day with more money. He brought
5000 with him, which he gave TO his business
partner The partner told him shortly after
ward that he was sorry, but something had
gone wrong and the So, Co was lost. How
ever, he gave the German promissory note
for the amount and asked him il he had
any more money to invest. The German
replied that he had s3,5l5 more and he
brought that around the next day. Some
thing went wrong this time. too, and the
money was lost but the German got another
promisSory note.
He thought over the matter for several
DAYS and finally decided that he had been
swindled. He went to Police Headquarters
and told his experience and couple of
detectives arrested Somerfield and Moran
and arraigned them in the Yorkville police
court yesterday. kcffersten showed his
partnership papers and the promissory
notes to Magistrate Brann.
You were certainly very innocent
lamb, although you were ready to enter a
scheme Of dubious character. This court
cannot protect men who engage in such
schemes" the Magistrate said to the COM
plainant as he discharged the prisoners.

him and walked at his side, refusing an
invitation to drink. They turned into
Clay street together and when they were
near Ogden street the young man said
suddenly: DO you know that fellow, Dad?"
and at the same time pushed McIaren
against the wall Of foundry
A tall man jumped from behind q tele-
graph pole and seized McLaren by the
throat. The three men rolled upon the
sidewalk and into the muddy street,
McIaren kicking out and at the same time
holding his big wallet In his inside pocket
and pushing it under his arm. When his
assailant's throat hold was broken McI.aren
shouted murder and the two men scrambled
up and ran. He chased one of them who :,
disappeared in an alley running toward
the river.
McLaren thought that he had lost nothing
when he found the bank roll safe, but az
midnight he reported that the STA had been
taken from one of his trousers pockets.
