MAX MOREAU MUST PAY
OR LAY IN JAIL THIRTY DAYS.
Hammond, Ind, Saloon Keepers Dill
atOry Tactics Arouses the Ire
of the Court.

Max Moreau, liquor dealer of Ham
mond, Ind, was before the Federal Court
yesterday and was sentenced to thirty days
in Jail until he paid the fine placed against
him by the court last May. Moreau was
arrested last May for violating the liquor
laws and was fined $40 and costs by the
Federal Court, with thirty days in which
to pay. At the end of the thirty days he
asked for more time on the plea that he
could not pay the fine. The court was leni-
ent with him. and three times gave him
more time to raise the money.
However, at the end Of the third suspen-
sion no word was heard from Moreau and
yesterday a federal deputy marshal arrest
ed him and brought him to Indianapolis.
Judge Anderson decided that Moreau will
have to spend thirty days in Jail unless he
pays the fine. IL he has not paid at the
end of that time an appraisement of his
property will be taken, and If sufficient it
will be sold to pay the fine and costs of
the proceedings.

liam DUNCAN and Mont McCapnon.

William DUNCAN and Mont McCannon,
who were arrested about two weeks ago

switchman, stationed near Eagle Creek, and
who are also. thought to be the two men
that compelled a brakeman to stop VAN
dalia mail train after they had been found

identified the men. He said the robbers ap-
preached from the direction of Ben Davis

train had been stopped and demanded that
he hold out his lanterns at arms length in
order that they could shoot the lights out
He finally pursuaded them to let the lam
terms alone. His pockets were then pilfered
and the men left. Later in the same night
Axe saw the men in saloon in West In
dianapolis and informed Detective Stod-
dard, of the Vandalia, who requested De-
tectives Gerber and Trimpe to arrest them.
At the time the arrests were made the men
told conflicting stories. first saying that
they had remained at home all night and
then stating that they had spent the night
drinking. Their cases were continued until
Thursday, when the attorneys for the de-
Tense think they can prove an alibi

ORGANIZATION OF SOCIETY INTER-
EsTED IN BEAUTIFYING CITY.
Call VIII Soon He Issued by the Com
merciaI Club for n Meeting-The
Plan as Outlined.

The Commercial Club will issue call
soon for a meeting of all those interested
In the Improvement and beautifying or the
city, looking to the organization Of a So
ciety which shall have that as its aim. The
meeting will be held the latter part Of next
week. although the exact date has not yet
been fixed. w. w. Woollen and Secretary
Hoover are much interested in the move
pent and are at the head of 1t. The society
Wfli aim especially at the beautifying of the
residential lawns of the city and such
ether attractive improvements as can be
brought about through the efforts and in
ducements Of an organization.
IL has been suggested that the name of
the Indianapolis Gardening and Civic I'm
provement Society would be appropriate for
the organization, but the name will be left
to the option Of the members as soon as a
socie is perfected II IS the plan Of those
who are advocating the society to hold out
special inducements for the improvement
of lawns, such as offering of prizes for the
best kept grounds. BY raising subscrip-
ton fund. the society could hold out monet
airy rewards and thus increase the interest
OF the residents in keeping their lawns In
q neat condition. The society will also ad-
vocate the planting of flowers at the diff
ferent schools and parks, and in every way
seek to make Indianapolis more attractive
IS a resident city.
An effort will be made to have the whole
city represented in the society. Mr.. Hoover
has suggested that there be one president
and q vice president from every ward OF
the city, who will ahye control OF his
ward. The wards will be represented by
precincts, each sending delegate to the
meetings Of the society. In this way the
whole city will profit by the work of the
socfe-y. BY Offering a prize of $40 for the
- best kept lawn in a certain precinct, results
would soon begin to show throughout the
city. 1t has been suggested that a larger
prize be offered for the most beautiful lawn
In the city. This scheme has been tried
In other large cities and has worked very
successfully. The funds of the society will
De raised either by subscription or by charg-
ing a small membership fee. The date OF
the first meeting viii be announced the lat.
ter part OF the week.

ATTORNEYS in THE FORUM
INTERESTING ARGUMENT IN THE
sTANLEY-OsGOOD CASE.
1t VIII Probably BE Given to Judge
Carter This Evening-Other News
of the Local Courts.

The argument in the Stanley-Osgood case
was resumed yesterday morning before
Judge Carter, and the case will not be
given to the judge before this evening.
Addison c. Harris concluded his argument
yesterday morning at 10 O'Clock. He began
his argument late Monday afternoon. He
spent his time yesterday in showing to the
court that the words residence" and "dom-
icile" had different meanings. Mr.. Harris
held that his client could acquire separate
residence from her fathers domicile. This
separate residence could only be acquired
by her father emancipating her-relinquish-
ing all parental control over her.
Mr. Harris was followed by Judge Law
son M. Harvey, on behalf of the defendant,
who argued until the noon adjournment.
He attacked the jurisdiction of the Marion
Circuit Court in the adoption proceedings.
Judge Harvey contended that If the posi-
ton of the plaintiffs counsel was a cor
rect one, then any child in this State could
be adopted by court proceedings.
Judge Ayres, for the defense. began the
argument at the afternoon session and
spoke until A O'Clock. Judge Ayres argued
that it has been shown that Mr.. Fisk, the
father of the plaintiff, resided in Hamilton
county and therefore that was the residence
of Mrs. Stanley at the time of her adoption
In referring to the emancipation of Mrs
Stanley by her father, Judge Ayres said
that where a child is two years Of age, as
was this child at the time of her adoption
the presumption is that it is not emanci
pated. The father cannot relieve himself
of the responsibility. He can take the
child at any time, though he may have made
q contract giving her away.
Mr.. Winter consumed the remainder OF
the afternoon arguing for the plaintiff anc
he will conclude his argument this morning
The greater part of his argument was upoI
the Jurisdiction of the Marion Circuit Court
| He held that that court has Jurisdiction ovel
| the matter. Mr.. Winter will be followed %,
| John r. Wilson, also for the plaintiff, and 4
| he touches upon any facts that were no
| brought out in the arguments for the de
| tense, Judge Ayres will be allotted an houl
and q half to answer the argument.

OHIO RIVER JURISDICTION
CASE THAT STATE OF INDIANA con-
sIDERs IMPORTANT.
Question Involved Is whether or Not
Indiana Has Concurrent Jurisdic-
ton on the Ohio River.
The brief of the plaintiffs in error in the

The brief OF the plaintiffs in error in the
case of Charles L. Wedding ct al VS..
Romanza Jerome Meyler, has been filed in
the Supreme Court of the United States.
This Is a State case in which about 500
is involved. The important question in the
case is whether not Indiana has con-
current jurisdiction on the Ohio river. 1t
is conceded that Kentucky owns the river
that is it has Jurisdiction over the stream
as far as the low-water mark on the north
side.
In this case Wedding brought suit against
Meyler in vanderburg county to recover a
judgment given in the courts of that coun-
ty. Meyler was served with a summons
while board steamboat at Evansville.
He contended he was not within the juris-
diction of this State at the time the sum-
mons was served. The Court of Appeals
of Kentucky held that Indiana had no
Jurisdiction and that a service on a citizen
of Kentucky while on a steamboat on the
Ohio river was no service. The court held
that Kentucky has exclusive jurisdiction
over the Ohio river.
Indiana officials look upon this case as a
very important one, Notwithstanding the
trivial amount involved. Wedding is repre-
Merrill Moores and Cassius c. Hadley. In
closing the brief says:
in the case under consideration there
| are no cities in Kentucky of any size i'm
mediately opposite the Indiana river cities
| excepting the cities of Louisville, Owens
| boro and Henderson. If the concurrent
| jurisdiction of Indiana is sustained the In
diana cities can protect themselves, theil
| shipping and their wharveS effectively
| as they always have done, without expense
or any particular burden to the State OF
| Kentucky.
| IF the concurrent jurisdiction is denied
the burden Of their protection, for the gooC
| name OF the commonwealth, il for no Other
reason, must be borne by Kentucky alone
THE difficulty of the successful prosecu
| ton Of crimes committed on the river II
| interior county seats of Kentucky would
be very great, the expense OF such proSecu
| tons, which must fall on Kentucky alone
/ would be burdensome, and 1t goes withou
/ saying that the inability to compel tn,
production of Indiana witnesses would IL
many cases defeat prosecutions.
| "A recognition of IndianaS concurrent
| Jurisdiction would take nothing from tn,
| jurisdiction and authority of Kentucky MOI
| would 1t add in any way TO the burden o.
| the State government.
| THE interests of the people in maintain
/ ing good government by the vigorous prose
/ are common to the criminal statutes o.
i both States, would seem to require tina
| both States should exercise Jurisdiction Oh
| the river, and to vindicate the wisdom o.
| our fathers in providing for it in the com
| Ddct"

Yesterday the students of Shortridgc
High School were relieved of the regular
routine of duty and enjoyed a celebration
OF their victory over Training School, as
was promised by Mr.. Benton the day before
the Thanksgiving game if Shortridge should
be successful. AS the school has no place
In which all of the students can assemble
at one time, they were divided into three
sections. 1t was the first celebration of the
kind ever held in Shortridge. and Mr.. Ben
ton took great pains to arrange for the
speakers and getting the team and coach
together so they would make their appear
ance before the school.

from 9:l5 till 10:15. At this meeting Mr.
School, made the opening speech after a
hearty Introduction and welcome by Mr..
Benton, who was so completely swayed by
the spirit OF the celebration that IL caught
the students and caused enthusiasm TO run
through the hall like wild fire. Mr.. EN-
merich made a tactful speech. The other
speakers of the first meeting were Mr..
Robert Hobbs and the Rev. Macintosh.
At the second meeting, which began at
lois. President Sweeney, of the School
Board; Rev. Hiram w. Kellogg and DR.

ColieSe OF fnyslclans ana surgeons, Ut
Christian, Mr.. Charles Moores and Frank
Spenser to address them. Aside from

member OF the team that he coached was
called upon TO make a speech. The boys
furnished great amusement with their
maiden speeches. John Trent, treasurer OF
the Athletic Association, read report al
each meeting. stating the financial condi-
ton of athletics in Shortridge. This re-
port pleased the students very much, as
the association now has over $500 in its
treasury. When school opened there was
but 1914 to its credit. Throughout all OF
the meetings the students voiced their ju-
bilant spirit with hearty yells, which ceased
Immediately when the celebration was over
