hours day, nights and Sundays, with

x-Senator Funk in his paper, this
Spirit Lake Beacon, says of the Cous
ms speech: "The Cousins speech was
more of a criticism upon the governor
than upon both of our United States
senators. both chairmen of the conven-
ton. the entire committee on resolu-
tons and the great convention itself
Its philippics were keen and Its style
classic. but it was in utter disregard OF
PARTY leadership, party harmony, pub
lie sentiment or the amenities OF the
occasion A great orator like Robert G.
Cousins should nor prostitute his splen-
did talent TO narrow or spiteful ends

Cousins Is lazy, but William will be
forced to admit that he keeps some
newspaper men pretty busy" observes

A WALKING ARSENAL.
Vance Johnson. Arrested for Grand
Larceny, Heavily Armed.

Vance Johnson, young desperate, for
whom the police have been diligently
searching since his last escapade. two
weeks ago. when he shot at horse on
West Washington street TO scare 1t. the
bullet striking S. w. Eschmeyer. a passen-
ger on a West Washington-street car which
was passing and seriously wounding him.
was arrested yesterday by Patrolman Hoff-
bauer on the west side after he had made
an Intellectual attempt to get away.
Johnson, who is nineteen years old, was
found TO be a walking arsenal when the
policeman searched him. He had In his
pockets four .3S-calibre revolvers, besides a
lot of plumber he had stolen from Manters
pawn shop, on South Illinois street, Thurs
day night In his pockets were found six
ty-two rings. one breast pin. one scarf pin,
three lodge buttons. seven lockets, two
charms and two watch chains-all of which
after the pawn shop window had been
broken in The police suspected Johnson
of the theft and were not surprised when
the plumber was recovered from him.
Young Johnson was charged with assault
and battery with intent to kill and grand
larceny and placed under a 5000 bond,
which he was unable 10 furnish. At the
police station he demonstrated that he is all
that has been. said OF him-an unusually
bad boy. His past reputation, two trips TO
the Reformatory and other escapades
which have brought him TO the attention
of the police, Is bad, and all OF the district
men of the city have been watching for
him since he did the shooting.

INTERURBAN BUSINESS.


T. z. Goodrich. of Shelbyville, secretary
OF the Indianapolis. Shelbyville & South
astern Traction Company. the Shelbyville
line. is in the city looking after the inter-
ests of that road. Mr.. Goodrich is an inter-
urban enthusiast, and to the Journal Incl
dentally remarked that indianapolis will
soon be the greatest interurban center in
the United States. "As the steam roads
have come TO Indianapolis so the interur-
bans are coming. only a great deal faster
The fact should be appreciated. not only by
Indianapolis merchants. but by every
property owner. that the interurban roads
are day by day adding thousands of popu-
lation to this city. People who visit a city
daily are practically residents. They in
manner live there, they buy there. spend
their surplus. patronize theaters and md
amusements as well as business II is esti-
mated that New York city entertains 100 600
strangers every day In the year. II will be
some time before the guests of Indianapolis
reach that number. but the interurbans are
the factor that will accelerate every indus
try in Indianapolis. This means additional
value TO real estate; it means that every
business block and every residence is worth
more: IL means more and larger stores: IL
means additional industries; IL means more
employment: more money for the Indian
apolis citizen, and the more money the peo-
pie have the more they will spend ana this
means a continuous prosperity.
''The Indiana olis-Shelbyvill road" con-
tinued Mr.. Goodrich. while IL has been in
operation only seven months, Is making a
good showing. Some very marked improve
ments are now being made. While all In
dianapolis is demanding the adjustment Of
the grade crossing, the directors OF this
company are progressing rapidly in that d.
rection. BY the 1st day OF June the Shelby

A REAL GOLD BRICK.
Judge A. b. Anderson Relates a Good
story of One.


did you ever see a gold brick?" asked
Judge A. b. Anderson of a reporter the
other evening In the lobby of the English.
I'VE have one in our law office over at
Crawfordsville-a fine specimen-that cost
$500. But / didn't buy it," added the
Judge hastily, to forestall any erroneous
conclusions.
'The brick has an interesting history,
but the story is so old that 1 have forgot
ten many of the details. A farmer who
lived ten twelve miles from Crawfords-
Vile in Montgomery county bought the
brick several years ago in Terre Haute.
He paid $500 in good, hard-earned cash
for II and was so taken with his bargain
and so afraid that some one would rob him
of the brick that he sat up all night to
guard IL in room in an obscure lodging
house in Terre Haute. Then he carried
IL home with him, observing the greatest
precautions to conceal his treasure and kept
1t several days before germ of mistrust
sprouted in his mind and prompted him TO
have the brick tested. He discovered that
IL worth about is cents instead of
$3.50.
There was some little litigation as a re-
suit of the gold-brick deal. but 1 believe
that the farmer never recovered any of his
money. The brick was introduced in court
and was exhibited as curio about town
for several months. Then in some man.
ner IL fell into our hands and we have been
using II as a weight to hold the Office door
open. There are not many offices that
have as expensive an ornament of that
kind. The brick is half cylinder in shane
flat on one side and oval on the other
and is very heavy. II is made of some kind
the color OF gold. but that is as near as ii
comes TO being the genuine article

BABES MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
Little Marjorie StahI Falls Sixty Feet,
with Slight Injury.

Three-year-old Marjorie Stahl remarkably
escaped death yesterday afternoon, when
she fell from the fourth-story window of
the Magnolia block at Capital and Ken
lucky avenues to the pavement in Ken
lucky avenue. The little girl had been left
by her mother asleep in their apartments
in the Magnolia building during the after
noon while Mrs. Stahl went to the floor be-
low to attend to some household duty
While she was gone the child awoke, and
in a search for her mother came upon
chair standing near the open window and
climbed up on ii. After reaching the win
dow sill she looked out the window and
then dropped fully sixty feet below. Dur
ing her fall she collided with a number of
telephone wires, and these in a measure
broke her fall so that when she landed on
the pavement below she did not appear to
be seriously hurt
Beyond scratches and ugly wound on
her head the baby was intact. There were
no fractures Of any of her bones and no
dislocations. The child was cared for by
Drs. Jefferies Ridpath and Burkhardt, the
latter from the City Dispensary. During
last night she regained consciousness at in
tervals, but was suffering from conclusion
of the brain. The child's death is probable
because of its weak physical condition,
owing 10 its age.

yesterday, calling on the people to plant
trees for the Identification of private
grounds and highways, and on the schools
to hold appropriate exercises in connection
with the tree-planting Oct. "a. The procla-
nation follows:
There has been within recent years a
widespread awakening of interest in re-
forestation, especially in Indiana, a State
favored lavishly by nature with timber re-
sources that to the pioneer seemed limitless
and inexhaustible. The rapid development
of the agricultural and industrial interests
of the State has been accompanied by q
sacrifice of our forests, until the people
of Indiana have been brought TO a realiza-
ton of the Importance OF systematic effort
with view to preventing further devasta-
ton. There has arisen patriotic interest
in the planting and preservation OF trees,
which not only furnish the raw material
necessary to the maintenance OF many OF
IndianaS most important domestic Indus
tries, but perform an invaluable aesthetic
function in adding variety and charm TO
the landscape.

sity of forest restoration and preservation.

ditions existing in this State have been en-
acted Apparent progress has been made
In arousing the people of Indiana to the
vast Importance, especially to future gen.
eratiOnS, OF tnat systematic ana persistent
effort necessary to the ample realization
of the possibilities of the soil and climate
of our State in the development of timber
resources.
I'm further recognition of the States in
terest in this important movement, /, Win

claim Friday, April "a. and Friday, Oct.

while in Indianapolis at 1912 English ave-
nue., was run down by switch engine in
the Chicago division yards of the Big Four

AN ENGINEER SELECTED.


Chairman Bennett, of the grade crossing
commission, has received a letter from
President McCrea, of the Union Railway
Company, informing him that Thomas H.
Johnson, of Pittsburg, engineer of
prominence, has been selected TO give the
railroad executives advice in the settle
ment of the grade crossing problem in In
dianapolis. In his letter to Mr.. Bennett
Mr.. McCrea said the outcome of the at
tempts at legislation in aid Of the solu-
ton had not been thought of at the con-
ference held last fall and out of which the
grade crossing commission grew.
Mr.. McCrea inciosed his letter to Mr..
Johnson. II is expected that Mr.. Johnson
will be here soon to take up his investiga-
ton. The letter to Mr.. Johnson from Mr..
McCrea follows:
also have made various suggestions and
recommendations In regard to the princi-
pal pieces OF property In which their COM
panies are interested, but unfortunately
the State of Indiana is close as be-
tween the two political parties, and, as in
other States whore similar conditions ex-
.st no important question, even though ii
be purely a matter of business, comes up
that there is not an effort to make capital
out of 1t through the adoption as a party
measure. This naturally causes the news
papers TO take more biased views on one
side of the question than they would do
If they were considering 1t simply a
matter or business.
such is the history of the present case,
and the solution of the important ques-
ton which was contemplated at the meet
ing last fall was treated in a way that
| was unthought of at the time of the orig
inaI conference; and the question now is
how to get back to consideration of the
matter from a purely business standpoint
which is the only proper way for it to be
considered.
with this end in view I wish you would
go 10 Indianapolis, make yourself familiar
with all the plans that have been prepared
| by the railroads or by representatives OF
| the commission and then prepare a COM
| prehensive plan for giving the necessary
relief as was originally intended.
when this is furnished me / will then
ask for meeting with the commission

| ton of a purely business question in the
| hope that negotiations will result whic,
| will accomplish what was originally de-
| sired"
