GRAVES AREFOUND EMPTY
DETECTIVES INVESTIGATE SEVERAL
OTHER CEMETERIES.
At Fall Creek Cemetery the Sexton
Knew OF No Record of Burials
More Arrests.

Detectives Asch and Manning yesterday,
in company with John McEndree and Rufus
Cantrell, made a tour of several grave
yards to investigate the report that graves
had been robbed. Cantrell and McEndree
gave the detectives the information that
more graves have been robbed than has
heretofore been told. The party yesterday
afternoon went to the Fall Creek Cemetery,
northeast of the city. Here they met Sex
ton Whistler. The latter was asked about
certain bodies that had been buried within
the past six months. He said he could
not tell anything about the bodies buried
in the cemetery. as no record was kept of
any of them. Cantrell, while standing with
the party, pointed to several graves and
said that they were empty. One of the
graves was open and found to contain an
empty box. Whose grave it was cannot be
learned. Cantrell said he could not tell
what body IL was, as all the bodies he
and McEndree stole from that graveyard
were unidentified and he took no pains to
learn who they were.
After leaving this cemetery the party
drove to the North Ebenezer Cemetery,
near Brightwood. The graves of Mrs.
Stilz, Wallace Johnson and John Sargent
were opened. The bodies were found in
the collins. The first two bodies were
stolen during the summer and were taken
to the Central Medical College. according
to the statement of Rufus Cantrell. These
bodies were recovered recently, after an
energetic search by the detectives. At the
graveyard the sexton was also seen and
asked about his record Of bodies. He said
that he never knew a record to be kept
Plats of lots and graves were made. These
were exhibited to the detectives.
The Anderson and Heron cemeteries, six
miles northeast of Indianapolis. were also
told the detectives that more than forty
graves were empty. He could not tell what
had become of the bodies. Rufus Cantrell
was standing near by when the sexton
told the detectives and smile spread over
his face.
After returning to the city last night the
detectives said that after their days work
they had secured additional information
which will lead TO the arrest of six or
seven white men, who. they allege, are
guilty of robbing graves. Asch and Man
ming say the white men whom they con-
template putting under arrest were accom-
plices of DR.. Alexander in getting bodies
The detectives will again go to work this
morning in search of more testimony. They
will visit Round Hill and Lick Greek ceme-
teries. These graveyards, they think, have
but few bodies in them at present. Can
trell said yesterday that he Is of opinion
that more than $50 have been stolen from
these two cemeteries.

HOTEL LOBBY CLEANINGS
COL. c. l.. JEwETT'S INJURY SIMILAR
TO PRESIDENT ROOsEvELT's.
Bruised Ankle Frustrated Him mt Ban
paign Work-HoteI News.

Charles L. Jewett. of New Albany. was
in Indianapolis last night, making his first
visit to the city since the encampment of
the Spanish-American War Veterans. Mr..
Jewett was formerly identified with the
Democracy and was one of the Democratic
leaders driven out of the party by the silver
fallacies of William Jennings Bryan. Col.
Jewett is in the city to try a case in the
United States Court to-day. He is much
pleased with the Republican triumph in
Indiana, although physical disability pre-
vented him from taking an active part in
the campaign. He started out all right, but
his finish was too passive TO suit him.
The day President Roosevelt was here
Colonel Jewett was one of the guests In
vited to take luncheon with the President
at the Columbia Club. short time before
Mr.. Jewett had bruised his ankle and while
at luncheon with the President the injured
leg began paining him greatly. Subsequent
facts show that the President was evil
IDENTIFY suffering from a similar pain about
the same time. Roosevelt was taken 10 the
hospital and operated on and that night
DR.. Henry Jameson was called to see Col.
Jewett. After examining the injured leg
the doctor remarked the great similarity
between Colonel Jewetts injury and the
one from which the President was suffer
ing. Colonel Jewett's in many particulars
was the same as the Presidents. Colonel
Jewett went 10 his home at New Albany,
and has been laid up there most of the time
since. A few days before he injured him
self he made political speech at Kokomo,
the occasion of the opening of the cam
paign there. This was the only speech he
was able to deliver during the campaign.
THE result goes to show" said Colonel
Jewett last night, that to begin with there
are more Republicans in Indiana than there
are Democrats. In addition to this a great
many of the conservative and thinking
Democrats voted our ticket"
Mr.. Jewett points to the fact that the
Democrats had no organization and no
policies to carry them through. 1.-THE gum
shoe campaign that was talked about" he
said, was no campaign at all. The fact
is the leading and thinking members of the
Democratic party had no hope whatever of
carrying this election"

JUDGE BAKER RESIGNS
GOSSIP CONCERNING HIS SUCCESSOR
AT ONCE REVIVED.
Prominent and WeII-Known Repub-
licans Who Are Mentioned in Con-
nection with the Succession.

The announcement that the resignation
of Judge John III. Baker. of the United
States District Court for the district of In
diana, had been presented to President
Roosevelt yesterday by Senator Beverage
revived speculation as TO his successor. 1t
was generally agreed that Roscoe o. Haw-
kins, of Indianapolis, is the most probable
appontee.
Judge Baker was appointed to succeed the
late Judge w. A Woods when he was ad-
vanced on the federal bench eleven years
ago. Judge Baker had been circuit judge
in Elkhart county before his appointment.
AS he is now past seventy years old he may
retire on full pay. 5000 annually. The
publicity that his expressed intention to re-
tire gained several months ago brought
out many worthy candidates for the judge
ship, but by mutual consent all efforts
ceased until after the election. 1t was I'M
his letter of retirement Immediately after
the election and that the President would
then take up the appointment of his sue
ceSsor.
Among those who have been presented as
worthy to succeed him, besides Mr.. Haw-
kins are: w. +. Elliott, Charles Z. Dryer,
Lawson M. Harvey and James M. feathers,
of Indianapolis; Enoch G. Hogate, of Dan
Vile; Quincy A. Myers, of Logansport c.
c. Shirley, of Kokomo; A. A. Anderson, of
Charlottesville; Lucius G. Embree of
Princeton; John Morris, of Fort Wayne,
and William I. Henley, of Rushville.

OHIO TEACHERS ARE BUSY
GOOD PART OF THE DAY SPENT IN
VISITING SCHOOLS.
1t Is Estimated that mt Least Twelve
Hundred Are i'm Indianapolis-The
First Session.

Yesterdays trains brought many more
school teachers to the city to attend the
annual meeting of the Central Ohio State
Teachers Association, which began last
night in Tomlinson Hall 1t is estimated
that 200 teachers are in the city, quar-
tered at the various hotels and with friends
and relatives. The streets were thronged
with teachers yesterday afternoon. The
day was spent by them in sightseeing and
in visiting the public schools and other in
situations.
The soldiers monument was the most
popular of Indianapolis show places, and
all day long the elevator and stairs were
crowded by sightseers bent on looking over
indianapolis from the top of one of the
highest soldiers monuments in the United
States. The Statehouse. courthouse, library
and art institute were popular places also.
and the teachers visited them during the
day. At the library the corps of assistant
librarians under the librarian showed the
visitors around and explained the system
of library care in use.
The two high schools and the grammar
schools were visited by parties during the
day. AT some of the downtown schools
the visitors were so numerous that the
teachers had some difficulty in showing
their classes and methods advantageously.
Groups Of twelve and thirteen would be
shown through the buildings at time. five
minute stops being made in all of the
rooms. All OF the classes from the primary
grades to the higher school grades were
listened to with interest by the Ohio teach
ers, each OF the teachers being especially
anxious to see the manner of conducting
classes in their own particular grades. At
the schools the older pupils were detailed
as guides and considerable assistance was
given by them in receiving and caring for
the Ohio people
The Manual Training High School and
Shortridge High School were the institu-
lions most visited. At each of these the
members of the faculty and the pupils en-
tertained the visitors and showed them
through the buildings. AT Shortridge the
printing plant and the publishing office of
the Daily Echo, the school paper, were
complimented by the visitors. At the South
Side school the mechanical departments
were the most sought after and many of
the teachers expressed their appreciation
of its good features. Many of the teachers
said that this school was one of the most
finished and complete they had ever seen.

IN GRANT COUNTY.
Efforts to Disorganize Republican Old
Soldiers Failed.


Samuel L. Stricken and John Minnick, of
Grant county, were in Indianapolis yester-
day. Mr.. Strickler was on Tuesday elected
by plurality of more than 2,100 to the
State Senate to represent Grant Blackford
and Wells counties, while Mr.. Minnick will
represent Grant county in the next House,
with plurality of over 5000 back of him.
Mr.. Stricken was the Republican chairman
in Grant county during the campaign of
1900, when an astonishing majority was
rolled up. He says the Republicans of
Grant couny are much gratifed with the
unusual off-year majority they succeeded
In recording. One Of the most surprising
results of the election in Grant county is
the size of the Prohibition vote, which ag-
gregated about 200. In some townships
more Prohibition than Democratic votes
were cast The strength of the Prohibi-
Gratis, many of whom were dissatisfied with
conditions in their own party and yet did
not wish TO vote the Republican ticket.
Senator Stricken says that the Democratic

WHIPPED in THEBASEMENT
CHASTISEMENT ANGERED FRANK
CALDWELL, ONE OF THE BOYS.
He Was Prevented by n Policeman
from Striking His MOther-Other
Boys Punished.

The presence OF two patrOlmen in the cell
lar of the police station yesterday after
noon did not deter Frank Caldwell from
trying TO strike his mother while she was
engaged In whipping him according to the
instructions of Judge Stubs in Juvenile
court. The boy is fifteen years old and is
very tall When his mother started to
whip him he squared off to land stiff
right on her face. The mother jumped
back and hit her son over the shoulders.
When he felt the sting of the lash his anger
famed up and he ran towards his mother
with his arms arranged in true pugilistic
style and again attempted to strike her.
She side-stepped and again dashed him
hard. Patrolmen Belch and Hagerty, who
were in the room, were astonished at the
audacity Of the youth. Belch ran in when
Caldwell tried the second time to strike his
mother and got firm hold on his arms.
The policemen held the boy tightly until
the woman had worn herself out beating
him. When she finished the boy fell to the
floor and screamed as If mad. He was told
10 get up from the cement floor by the two
policemen, but he was obdurate. He was
5erked up in a hurry and as he was put
ting on his coat and vest he shot several
mean glances toward his mother, indicat-
ing that when she arrived home he would
carry out the threat to strike her that he
had made. The policemen were quick to
notice the young mans actions and in
formed the mother that If the boy under
took TO strike her when he got home or
made any threat to notify police headquar-
tiers.
When Caldwell had received his punish
n1ent William Barnett Invested himself of
his coat and vest and waited for his pun
ishment. His mother, who is troubled with
heart disease. arose unsteadily from her
chair and took the whip from Mrs. Cald-
well She had made but two or three light
strokes when she fell in heap on the
floor She was unconscious and il was
thought her alment might result fatally.
The boy was allowed to go with the few
strokes given Mrs Barnett was assisted
10 the City Dispensary. where DR.. Schenck
gave her treatment which produced strong
er heart action. The other boy whipped
was William Harrison.
The three boys were accused of stealing
IS cents from a white boy The latter said
ne stopped on Indiana avenue to watch the
negroes play marbles. One OF the bows had
dog. which, in playing with the white
boy. got one of its feet entangIed in his
pockets, causing the money to fall out. The
negroes scrambled for the money and sent
tbs white boy home crying
Hamar Monaghan. a white boy, was sent
10 Plainfield yesterday afternoon by Judge
Afford on order of Judge Stubs The
Monaghan boy was unclean that the pa
trolman dared not touch him. His mother
appeared in court with a clean shirt hut
Judge Stubs said he would send the bow
TO the Criminal Court and then he could
undergo the slight change in apparel.

c. ]. Van Griethuysen, a bright young
business man who registers from Pretoria,

at the Denison. He is making a tour of the
United States. After tn war in South At
RIGA he decided to make a trip through Eu-
rope and America. While on his way to
the United States he made the acquaint-
ance of number of indianapolis people
on shipboard, and on their invitation he ar
ranged his tour of this country so that it
would lead through this city. He said last
night that he was glad he came to Indian
apolis. Il should advise any American or
other foreigner who contemplates going to
South Africa to wait at least year." he
said. He says conditions are not at all
pleasant in South Africa at the present
time. The damage to the farms and cattle
owned by the Beers as a result of the war
amounted to S60.0O0.OOO, he says, while the
indemnity to be paid by England only
amounts to 100000. AS a result of the
damage to the farms a great many of the
Beers have come into Pretoria and the
conditions there are really distressing He
