BETS SENT OVER THE WIRE
IMPORTANT TESTIMONY IN THE
TOOMEY POOLROOM CASE.
Gus Schmidt, a Telegraph Operator,
Says Orders Were Telegraphed to
Out-of-Town PooIrooms.

Great interest Is manifested in the Too
mey poolroom case which at the present
time is being heard in the Police Court at
special afternoon sessions and yesterday
afternoon the courtroom was filled with at
witnesses.
Martin Duke, a telegraph operator from
Cincinnati. was the first man placed the
stand for the defense and he vividly de-
scribed the operations of a place of busi-
ness such as Toomeys. He said that as far
as he was able to tell, from the standpoint
Of an expert, there evidence OF any
gambling in any Of the paraphernalia con-
fscated by the police at the time of the re-
cent raid on the Toomey poo1room. There
was no evidence of recording or regis
tering bets, he said, and he also testified
that Toomey, through his operators, tele-
graphed the orders he received from his
customers to the different tracks where the
money was placed on the races and he had
heard the orders go over the wire at diff
ferent times.
William Brown, of the assessors office,
was placed on the stand and told of his
experience as an operator in poolrooms in
various parts OF the country, and Toomey' S
place, he said, had none of the earmarks
of poolroom or gambling house. E. r.
Treat was next placed on the stand as a
character witness, and he stated that he
had never heard that Toomey's place was a
gambling room and believed the business
was not considered In that light by the gen.
eraI public.
Gus Schmidt, of this city, was the last
and most important witness of the day. He
was at one time operator in the employ
OF the Western Union Telegraph Company,
and served as an emergency operator at
Toomey'S place on a number of occasions.
His testimony was direct and to the point.
He said, in substance, that when a man de-
posted any amount of money with the
cashier to be placed on any particular
horse, the order was at once telegraphed
to the race track and the money was there
he heard the orders come over the wires
and had heard messages refusing money on
certain horses and others authorizing Too
mey to pay the holder of certain tickets
specified amounts of money. Smith said
that on several occasions he had placed
money on horses and had instantly heard
the order telegraphed to the race track for
the amount OF his wager. No records of
gambling could be found among the papers
secured by the police from Toomeys place.
he said, and on careful examination of the
papers held as evidence by the State he
said that in his opinion no knowledge of
any bets or betting records were convened
TO him. After Schmidt had given his tes-
timony the court was adjourned until 2
o clock this afternoon when the hearing will
be resumed. The defense expects to-day TO
place several important witnesses on the
stand who will. Ii Is said, explain the con-
duct of Toomey's business in such a way
that IL will be shown, beyond all doubt.
that no pools are sold and that the place is
not a gambling house as claimed by the at
torneys for the State.

SUNDAY-SCHOOL RALLY.


A district Sunday-school rally was held
I'm the Broadway NJ. z. Church last night
for the purpose of getting the children in
that district to attend Sunday school The
city was recently divided into fourteen dis
tricts. each district comprising a number
of Sunday schools OF different denomina-
tons. and ii is the purpose of those in
charge TO hold rally in each one OF these
districts. 1t is believed that by forming
a union OF the different denopinational
Sunday schools more effective work can be
accomplished. One of the pastors of the
city will deliver an address at each one
of the rallies.
The address last night was delivered by
the Rev. w. w. Criley. pastor OF the
First English Lutheran Church. He spoke
OF the necessity OF holding rallies. He
said that by the union OF these Sunday
schools more people would take an interest
In the children and every home would be
visited in effort to get all the children
TO attend. Without the union each Sun
day school would look only after the chill
dren OF it's own denomination. The officers
elected for this district last night were
Mrs. j. j. NJ La Toilette, president: VIII
liam Thomas. vice president. and Miss Alice
Randall secretary treasurer.
Miss Beulah Buchanan announced that
the Marion county Sunday-school conven-
ton would be held at the First Baptist
Church Nov. q and q.

MOROUS STORY OF YOUNG COUPLE.
Forty-Two Indictments Returned by
the Federal Grand Jury, but Only
Ten Made Public.

A bill of complaint was filed yesterday in
the Federal Court by De Witt ellsworth
against the Indiana Railway Company, of
which Arthur Kennedy is the president, and
the latter is made the chief defendant in
the suit ellsworth is a resident of Pitts
burg, Pa, and stockholder in the COM
pany to the amount of 1888 shares of stock.
The company operates lines connecting
South Bend, Goshen, Elkhart and Msha-
waka.
In the bill of complaint ellsworth charges
that the affairs OF the company have been
improvidently and unwisely managed by
the president of the company, Arthur Ken
nedy, the heaviest stockholder, who has
coerced the board of directors to act in his
interests in other corporations and enter
prises. AS the result of such actions. it is
charged, the company has created a float
ing debt of over S25O,OOO.
The bill further alleges that money has
been voted by the directors of the COM
pany to the president in order to carry on
outside enterprises, 1. e., that on June 80,
1903, the directors voted to Mr.. Kennedy
$25 900 of the company'S money without
any valid consideration to the defendant.
The bill contains many further charges of
careless management of the company
among them the showing of illegal favors
TO the Indiana Western Railway Company
and the South Bend & South Michigan
Company, in which the larger stockholders
of the Indiana Company are Interested Mr..
ellsworth says that the Indiana Company,
which is capitalized at $l,0O0,000, is at the
present time insolvent, but if placed in
reliable hands could be made to pay large
returns. The plaintiff has filed previous
suits against the company in an attempt
TO have the management placed in other
hands.
Judge Anderson, of the Federal Court,
ordered yesterday that the officers and di-
rectors of the Indiana Company appear be-
fore him on Nov. 70 to show why re-
ceiver should not be appointed, as is asked
in the bill of complaint.

Richardson, a collector of rents for the

bezzling $1,000. There was little real proof
of his guilt: in fact, his employers were
adverse to believing him guilty.
Yes, took the money" the young man
admitted calmly, when questioned. Then his

Bloomington. ILL.,, Aug. 4.-Rev. Sam
Jones, the Georgia. orator, who was one
OF the speakers at the Bloomington

opinion, was responsible for the race wars

and Evansville riots. He said in re-
Spouse:
II have lived among negroes all my life
and know them pretty well, and In my
mind there is not much in this excite
ment about them. Now, this lynching
business is not anarchy. If mad dog
or a wild beast runs thru the streets and
bites some one the thing to do is to kill
it, and kill 1t before it does any more
harm. There is not much difference be-
tween wild beast and negro who will
attack white women. Why, in the south
the respectable blacks help the whites
lynch the brutes. or the 100000
negroes in the south the great mass are
peaceable. law-abiding citizens. Since
we have got rid of the Yankee scalawags
who were stirring them UP we don't have
much trouble with them. They know
their place and they keep it, just as the
convicts at Joliet know their place and
keep it.
There may be a thousand bad negroes
In the south, and they are the ones who
make the trouble. It was the enfran-

trouble at first. In Georgia we have not
disfranchised them. They can vote at
the, general election, but they cannot
vote at the primary. We have white
primary, and as nomination is equivalent
to election, the black vote does not in
terfere. Education is doing a great deal
for the blacks. The only education that
I think is useful to them is manual train
ing. Booker T. Washington is doing the
| most for them. He is dignifying labor
and teaching them to work"
