CHARGE AGAINST DIETZ.
Warrant Accuses Him of Robbing
Shaw & Vincent.

Theodore Dietz. jr.. coo East North street,
was arrested last night by Captain Gerber.
OF the city detective department.. and De-
tectives Kurtz and Lancaster on a warrant
charging him with grand larceny.
Dietz has been working for a year and
half as a clerk for Shaw & Vincent. haber-
dashers. and during that time it is said has
stolen many dollars worth of merchandise,
we'll a considerable sum of money. A
search of his room yesterday revealed
dress suit case full of new neckties. over
twenty pairs of new hose, six new shirts,
twelve stick pins. five pairs of cuff buttons
and over $50 in cash, together with various
other articles. ii is said. Dietz is said TO
have admitted his guilt, saying that he has
been taking the property of the store ever
since he was first employed.
He was first held under suspicion from
the fact that large quantity of neckties
were missed one morning after he had
locked the store up for the night, and a
careful watch has been kept on him by his
employers since. 1t is thought that the
amount taken by Dietz will reach $500 or
$500 by the time all the money and mer-
chandise he is supposed to have taken in
the past year and half has been account
ed for.

KEACH'S MEMORY is BAD
EMBARRASSING LETTER TURNS UP
TO DISCOMFIT THE DICTATOR.
Instead of Being 'Lined Up" I'm 1898,
He Wrote Letter GIorying in Down
fall of Bryan Crowd.

Embarrassing letters, like bad pennies.
have a habit Of turning up, to the discom-
future of the coiners. In view of the COM
placent statement of Dictator Reach that.
while he may have departed from Demo-
1888, the following letter. which Mr.. Reach
wrote to the National Democrats of Marion
county Nov. II, 1898, is exciting comment
among the Democrats Of the Bryan brand:
Indianapolis Nov 12 1895
ITO the National Democrats of Marion
County:
1.-The executive committee of the National
Democratic party congratulateS the mem
bers of the party on the defeat of candi-
dates for Congress and the Legislature on
the Chicago platform. We urge all Ma
tional Democrats to cooperate with us in
maintaining this organization so long as
necessary to defeat the un-Democratic doc
trine of the Chicago platform, for we feel
that the triumph of the principles of the
Indianapolis platform Is essential to the
usefulness of the country and the safety
of our institutions.
JAMES L. KEACH. Chairman"
The letter is written the letter paper
Of the National Democratic county COM
mittee, an organization carried over from
the campaign of 1896. and the letter head
bears the following names: James L.
Reach, chairman: Sterling r. Holt, vice
chairman; Walter Kessler. secretary; John
p. FrenZel, treasurer; Robert Pythian
Woods p. Garfield. John r. Wilson, Otto
n. Frenzel, James l.. Milender, William Z.
Kleinsmith, Duncan Dewar, Charles B. Nc
Creery, William A. Sullivan, Cornelius w.
Sullivan, Herod l.. Scotch, Joseph =. Turk,
Samuel j. Murray and Frank Straub, jr.,
members of the executive committee.
After five years there are not many OF
these interesting documents extant, but the
few that have escaped the ravages of time
indicate that the memory of the dictator is
paying him funny tricks. Democrats are
trying to figure out how Mr.. Reach could
have been lined up with the more numerous
elements of the party when he writes so
fulsome letter of congratulation to those
who assisted materially in the defeat of
the Bryan outfit They also observe that
Mr.. Reach was still chairman of the ants
when the letter was written.

Davis will soon think better Of the stand he has taken and report to us. he must do that or not play ball. He can't play with New York or it will mean contin- uation of the war and I guess the Ma tional League has had enough of that.
