HAD NOT TAKEN POISON
MRS. BIRDIE WHITAKER, HOW
EVER, FEIGNED UNCONsCIOUSNEss.
The Second Time the Dispensary AM
bulance Has Been to Her House
on n Fake Call.

Mrs. Birdie Whitaker, Is South Pine
street, has caused the doctors at the City
Dispensary no end of trouble during the
last week. and. according to the statements
Of the indignant doctors, stands well to be
placed on the black list at their next bust
ness meeting.
Early this week Mrs. Whitaker became
angered at her husband, and, after he left
home for the day, went out in the back
yard and created such terrific racket that
the entire neighborhood was reused to a
high pitch Of excitement. Some agitated fe-
male called for the Dispensary ambulance,
stating that Mrs. Whitaker was dying and
the doctors made a fast run to the scene
of the disturbance and found the dying
woman much more alive than many of her
neighbors. She was mad and wanted to
yell little was the doctors diagnosis of
her case.
Last night call came to the Dispensary
for the ambulance, and the person at the
telephone stated that Mrs. Whitaker had
taken poison and was almost dead from it's
effects. DR.. Mackay, with the ambulance,
drove at a break-neck speed TO the woman's
home and found, he says, that she had
Quarreled again with her husband. Telling
him that he would never see her alive again
she took two tablets, which she said were
poison, and few moments later fell to the
floor in seemingly unconscious condition.
The husband became frightened and called
for the doctor, and when the doctor COM
pleted his diagnosis he found that the
woman had taken two headache tablets,
telling her husband that they were poison
then fell TO the floor and feigned uncon-
seriousness.

FIND HOMES in INDIANA
MANY CHILDREN SENT TO THIS
STATE FROM CHICAGO.
1t Is Violation of the Law, and Will
BE Investigated by the State
Board of Charities.

The State Board of Charities will investi-
gate a report to the effect that the Ameri-
can Home-finding Association of Chicago
is placing dependent children in Indiana
homes. Under the law outside charitable
associations cannot place children in this
State without first giving a bond, which is
forfeited if the wards ever become pub
lie charges. 1t is stated that the Chicago
organization is placing children in families
in the northwest part OF Indiana. The
board will consult with the attorney gen.
eral as to the best course TO pursue in the
matter. The association has been active
in collecting money in this State, but this
is the first violation of law reported.
At the meeting of the State board yester-
day all of the members were present. Re-
ports were had from members who have
visited state institutions since the last
meeting, and as Secretary Butler said,
they are encouraging and commendatory."
The state agency. which has charge of the
child-saving department of the board, re-
ported that $50 children have been visited
in the families where the board has placed
them OF this number only twenty were
reported as doing poorly. Sixty-three were
placed with families in the last quarter.
The board received the resignation of W.
b. Streeter, one of the state agents en-
gagged in the work of finding homes for de-
pendent children, but his successor was not
chosen. Mr.. Streeter becomes the general
superintendent of the Childrens' Home So
ciety of North Carolina.
The board discussed the question of max
ing an exhibit at the st. Louis exposition.
The department of charities and correction
of the exposition has sent a request to the
board to make showing at the fair of
Indiana's work in charitable way. 1t is
the feeling that if an exhibit is made it
should be one worthy of this State, which
stands in the front rank among States
that carry on this work in a pretentious
way. The matter will likely be taken up
with the fair commissioners

Jacob Rosenthal. the young man recently
arrested in Detroit, Mich, on Information

Mr.. Navin and Mr.. Solomon. the men
who at first believed Rosenthal had de-
frauded them by securing their indorse-
ments on worthless drafts. have become
convinced that he did not Intentionally do
them any wrong. They lay the blame on
his employers, who, il is alleged, refused to
honor the drafts when presented to them
for payment and wrote to Mr.. Navin, tell
ing him that Rosenthal was no longer in
their employ, when in fact they accepted
orders from him on dates later than the
day they refused 10 accept the drafts.

yet returned to indianapolis, but at the
jail last night RoSenthal stated that ne

that ne had been grossly mistreated by

miitances. Immediately or securing his

damage his reputation has suffered at their
hands, he says.

Mr.. BLATCHLEY DECLINES
WILL NOT ASSIST FAIR COMMISSION
WITH MINERAL EXHIBIT.
some Criticism of His Attitude by
state Omcers-The Biologists
Explanation.

It developed at the Statehouse yesterday
that State Geologist w. S. Blatchley has
declined to cooperate with the worlds fair
commit sion i'm preparing the exhibit Of the
mineral resources of the State for the St.
Louis exposition. Mr.. Blatchley gives as
his reason that he is too busy to assist with
the work, but some of the other state off,
cials are inclined to believe that he has
taken this position through pique because
the Legislature refused to give him spe-
ciaI appropriation OF $4,000 to be expended
by him for such an exhibit
Mr. Blatchley had a bill presented to the
Legislature that appropriated $4,000 for an
exhibit of Indiana's mineral resources at
the exposition, the money to be expended
under his direction. The bill was defeated
in spite of active efforts the part of him
self and his friends to push it through and
ne was told that ample provision for such
an exhibit would be made by the worlds
fair commission from the general appropria-
tion OF S15OOoO-
feature of the mineral exhibit, but when
Chairman w. II. o Brien. of the subcom-
mittee having that department in charge
went TO see the state geoOgist he found
that official too busy" TO assist i'm the
work Those who are inclined TO criticise
Mr. Blatchley for his attitude point out
that IL is strange that only few weeks
ago he expected TO have ample time TO
look after the expenditure of $4,000 for his
exhibit. while now he cannot even assist
the commission.
Mr. Blatchley said last evening regarding
the matter that he had replied to the sec
rotary of the commission to the effect that
he would have no time in which 10 prepare
for an exhibit at ST Louis.
MY report for 1902 and 1903 is being de-
layed several months" he said. land will
not be out before September. am kept here
three OF four days a week reading proof
and as soon as this work is done / have
TO begin on my next report. This year
have TO get n special report on the oil in
dustry, make maps. etc, and I expect to
nay some attention 10 the lime industry of
the State. With all these things on hand
I will have time TO look after an ex-
hIbit for the fair. This is the only reason
] have for declining TO assist in making an
exhibit from my department"

first streets. TO prevent the Board of Works
from accepting certain work done on that
street and the assessment OF the property

specifications were not followed in COM
plotting the work The street should have
been built with twelve-inch foundation OF
screened gravel in the center and FIVE inch
es on the sides, with a thirty-six-inch brick
gutter. Instead of that, the complaint
says, sand and dirt was plowed up and no
gravel USED at all and the gutter is but
twenty-four inches wide. A steam roller
was to have been used, it is contended, and
the gravel rolled, but this was not done:

story of Mischievous Boys.

Special Officer Elmer Stoddard. of the
Vandalia railway. carried into the Juvenile
Court yesterday long story relating to an
extremely bad gang of boys that have been
giving the company trouble in the neigh
borhood of Morris street. He related that
on one occasion the boys were very nearly
responsible for a bad collision. A number
of freight cars standing on the side track
were uncOupled by them and allowed to go
coasting down the grade at rapid rate.
By the merest chance they missed a stock
yards about to cross at the Norris
street crossing. Officer Stoddard testified
against John Bowman, Harry Bowman and
John Heinrich all boys under twelve years
of age. They were charged with stealing
corn from a Vandalia car. 1t was shown
that these boys did not really steal the
corn, but merely took it from cars already
unloaded. The young trio was dismissed
and an effort, will be made to land the real
offenders.
