He Sighted Contracts of Smither
Roofing Company and Sold Salv-
age I'm Illinois.
WAS ARRESTED IN ST. LOUIS
HARRY WALKER, OF THIS CITY,
SAID TO BE AN ACCOMPLICE.
McDermott Thought to Have Profited
to Extent of $4,000 In Last
Eight Months.

Thomas McDermott. of 1892 South Bel
mont street. formerly a foreman in the
employ of the Henry Smither Roofing
Company, was arrested in st. Louis
charged with embezzlement and arrived in
this city yesterday morning in charge of
Detective d. j. McGrath. of the st. Louis
police deparement He was arragned be-
fore Judge Whallon of the Police Court
yesterday morning and was bound over to
the grand jury under a heavy bond. Later
Harry Walker, of $50 South Illinois street,
was arrested in this city by Detectives Col
bert and Hauser accomplish of Nc
Dermott and a charge of embezzlement
was placed against him.
McDermott, who was employed fore
man for the roofing company, had charge
of work in various parts of the State and
Walker was a day laborer in the employ
of McDermott. E. z. Locke. manager for
the Henry Smither Company, said yester-
day that when the company secured a con-
tract they forwarded the necessary ma
terial for roofing purposes to the town
where the work was to be done and their
foreman and his men later went there and
did the work. They then went on to the
next city in which contract held and
the foreman and his men were kept travel
ing over the entire State.
Several weeks ago, he said, McDermott
and his men were working on a building
at Vincennes, Ind, and finished the work
so much quicker than the time generally
taken that he became suspicious and went
to Vincennes to inspect the work and see
that II was properly done. On inspection
he found that only two coats of roofing
were used where the contract called for
five. He later found that three dray loads
of material had been hauled to the freight
depot and shipped out of town but not re-
turned to the Indianapolis office of the
firm. On investigation it was found that
mott was employed the work was sighted,
men using only a part of the material that
the contract called for and shipping the
balance to Brooks ILL.,, where it was sold
to other contractors. Manager Locke went
TO Brooks and found great quantity of
the material there and recovered 1t on a
writ of replevin. McDermott in the mean
time found that his transactions were
known and fed to ST. Louis, but was fol-
lowed by Mr.. Locke and was soon in the
custody of Detective McGrath.
The total amount of material stolen by
the foreman during the eight months he
has been in the employ of the company
loss, however, is to the reputation of the
firm through the bad work throughout the
State, although all the work done by Nc
Dermott during the time of his connection
with the company will be inspected and if
found faulty will be repaired at the ex-
pense of the roofing company. Walker, it
Is said, acted as McDermott's agent in dis
posing Of the material and for his services
| received a certain per cent. of the pro-
ceedS.

SITE FOR A new SCHOOL
INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL FOR GIRLS TO
BE ESTABLISHED.
Members of the Commission Meet
with the Governor-secretary
and Treasurer Appointed.

The commission for the establishment Of
a new institution for the Indiana Industrial
School for Girls held its second meeting
yesterday afternoon in the Governor
private office to consider proposals SUBJ
mitted for the tract of land which the COM
mission must purchase as the first step
of it's work. Fifteen proposals in all were
discussed, but no action was taken beyond
the decision to meet again on June Is and
in the meanwhile request additional pro-
posals from landowners who desire to dis
pose of suitable tracts. At the next meet
ing the proposals now in hand and such adj
ditional ones as may be received will be
gone over and the commission will pick out
the most desirable ones to be inspected
and more closely considered before the final
decision is made.
Governor Durbin, who is member of the
commission ex officio, and was elected pres
ident at the first meeting with power to
name the secretary and treasurer, yester-
day announced the selection of z. M John
son and Z. M. Campbell, both of Indian
apolis, as secretary and treasurer, respec-
lively. The other members of the COM
mission are August NJ. Kuhn, of Indian
commission requests that proposals of land
be addressed to the secretary.
The commission is also deslrous That the
point be emphasized that the only limita-
ton placed on it in the selection of a site
for the new institution is that the tract
must include at least eighty acres and be
located within radius of ten miles from
the corporation lines of the city of Indian
apclis. Judging from the proposals already
received. the idea seems to prevail that the
site must be adjacent to the corporate line.
Such is not the case and, other things being
equal the commission would prefer to go
some little distance from the city.
Another point which the commissioners
desire attention called to is that fabulous
price will not be paid for the tract pur-
chased. The members propose to secure
the land for fair valuation, and not at an
exorbitant figure merely because the State
is paying for it.

The building committee of the Indiana
Worlds Fair Commission is having trouble
in selecting the plan of building to repre-
sent Indiana at the st. Louis exposition
next year. The committee. or rather two
thirds of 1t, d. W. Kinsey and w. H.
O'Brien, sojourned to Muncie yesterday to
confer with the "other third" Frank c.
Ball. and try to settle the question in the
privacy of the latter's office. They con-
vened with the full intention of making a
decision. Ten plans were submitted TO the
commission, and the committee finds ii no
easy matter to agree on any one. The COM
mission Is anxious to get the work started
on the building as soon as possible. as there
is danger of the price of labor increasing
later on. A meeting of the commission
will be held on Tuesday in the Lieutenant
Governors office to hear reports of the diff
ferent committees and transact routine
business.

ALLUDED TO CRITICISM.


Rev. Mr.. Lyon. the evangelist, spoke to
a large audience in the gospel tent at the
corner OF Linden and Prospect streets last
night The meeting was opened with a
song service by the chorus choir of over
200 voices. under the leadership of Mr. II.
J. Lloyd. The music is beautiful feature
OF the service. the sacred song always ap-
pealing to the human heart as a means of
worship.
LET 'er come" were the words which
on the platform. The evangelist eli t. said: ps II
understand my sermon of last evening
was too radical. too pointed. too personal
But. my friends. am here to speak the
truth and must do II at any cost l am
speaking of Gods law as 1t Is revealed to
and I cannot utter a word which is con-
trary TO that revelation"
The next command with which the
speaker dealt is that of keeping the Sab
bath. As soon as Sunday becomes the
common prey of labor and pleasure. just
soon Is the death kneH of the laboring
mans liberty sounded. A return TO the
Puritan law, the law of the Pilgrim ia
theirs. would be preferred TO the present
tendencies. Sunday mail, Sunday business
of any sort, was made the subject of violent
fnvective which brought frequent COM
ments from the audience. That's good
preachin' Keep IL up" were expressions
was next spoken OF. Profanity is the in
excusable sin. Ii has absolutely no pallia-
uon- IL does no GOOD 10 any one, mas not
even a monetary pleasure as an excuse
The foolishness of the sin of profanity
should keep people from IL.
Thou shalt not bear false witness" Is
the command so hard to fulfill because of
the difficulty OF controlling the tongue. The
busybody In other peoples affairs would
tire the devil himself The command Chou
shalt not kill is not meant so much now
for the pistol and dirk knife as for those
wis kill by nicotine and alcohol. The body
Is the temple OF the Holy Ghost and when
we defile that we kill in the worst way
NIT Intellectual suicide The world is
flooded with the worst kind of books which
poison the mind. The world is losing Just
so much mental energy and the devil is
gaining Just so much strength. The sub
ject Of the Law OF God will be continued
tomorrow night The services will be
held In the tent, weather permitting.

Caused Colombian senate.s ReJec-

Caused Colombian senate's ReIec-
tton Of Canal Treaty.
That European powers. working se-
cretly with agents Of the rausconti-
mental railways caused the defeat OF
the Panama canal treaty in the Colom-
bian senate is the belief Of Dr. Herran,
the Colombian charge d'affaires, says
the Washington correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Press.
Or. Herran said that there was no
doubt that the railways, believing that
the opening Of an isthmian waterway
would materially affect their trade,
had been exerting 4 secret influence
against the convention In the senate.
and that the evidence Of their subtle
work was indicated iii the action Of
that body in rejecting the treaty de-
spite the pleas Of the Colombian admin-
istration In It's favor.
Furthermore, Or. Herran said, he laid
the rejection as wei at the doors of
European diplomats, who, acting SUB
TREMENDOUSLY under instructions from
home, had opposed the treaty because
their governments secretly were jeal-
Gus Of the power the United States
would WELD through ownership Of the
canal
