SUPPOSED PICKPOCEETS
CAUGHT BY DETECTIVES
Edward Ford and Harry Edwards
Identified by Two Men Who
Were Robbed.

Detectives Asch and Manning last night
arrested Edward Ford and Harry Edwards,
both thought 10 be pickpockets, and slated
them at the police station on charges OF
grand larceny. For two or three days the
detective Office has been flooded with reports
of thefts, and from the evidence gathered
by the detectives it is thought the two men
under arrest can explain many OF the re-
ports. Night before last DR.. L. A.. Duthie
was relieved OF a pocketbook and $50 in
money while riding on a Col%lege-avenue car.
and the same evening John II. Thate. go
East Michigan ~strete, had a gold watch
stolen from his pocket while he was riding
on an East AIichisan-street car. Both rob-
berries happened near the corner of Pennsyl-
vania and Washington streets. and it was
considered at the time probable that both
men had been robbed by the same parties.
Early last evening August Krone, who
runs a stand at the market, reported that
his pocket had been picked of $3.75 while ne
was on an East Tenth-street car. The rob-
berry. he said, happened at Pennsylvania and
Washington streets. Captain Kinney. of the
detective department, last night detailed
all the detectives in the city to watch
the street cars, and Detectives Asch
and Manning, who were stationed at
Pennsylvania and Washington streets. soon
located two men who, at first glance, they
blieved to be criminals. They followed them
on a stockyards car and watched them
closely. 1t only required a moment to con-
vince the detectives that they were on the
right track and they placed the men under
arrest and took them to the police station.
At the police station they were positively
identified by DR.. Duthie and John II. Thate
as the men who picked their pockets. Both
men refused TO give any account of them
selves. Ford said his home was in Cleve-
land and Edwards gave his home address
as New York city. When Detective Man
ming placed Edwards under arrest he
showed fight and created great excitement
on the street car by graphing with the ofe
fcer. The two men had a hard fight, but
Manning soon had the upper hand and, jerk
ing his man off the car, dragged rather
than walked him to the police station. At
police headquarters the catch is considered
one of the best that has been made here in
many months. Both men, it is said, are
probably noted criminals, and their Bertillon
measurements and, photographs will be
taken to-day and forwarded TO the National
Bureau of Criminal Identification at Wash
ington, d. c., and in that way 1t is hoped
that their records will be learned.

PRESIDENT KIDWELL
ON HIS ORGANIZATION
He Says There Never Has Been
an Attempt to Violate Mr..
Roosevelt'S Order.

Speaking Of the recent order of Presi-
dent Roosevelt which prohibits members
OF the government associations from APP
preaching congressman with the view Of
getting bills through Congress, John A.
Kidwell, president Of the National AssO-
citation of Railway Postal Clerks. says that
the order does not apply only TO congress-
men in Washington. but is says 'in or out
OF Washington" and that it includes not
only postomce people but refers to every
employe of the government. Some time
ago the Journal! printed a story 10 the
effect that Mr.. Kidwell came to Indian
apolis for the purpose of talking to Repre-
sentative Overstreet during the few days
that he was here. Although it was stated
that this was done to get around the Pres
ident's order. Mr.. Kidwell says that it
would not have answered the purpose, for
the reason that the Presidents order re-
fers 10 congressman anywhere.
I'VE do not object" said Mr.. Kidwell,
Ito il being known that we have talked to
the chairman Of the committee on post
office affairs of the House of Representa-
tives, as we feel that II is an honor to
know him; but we do not care 10 give the
erroneous impression that we have violated
the Presidents order. To put our organiza-
ton in the right, L Will say that no officer
has ever done a thing that could be con-
strued as a disobedience Of governmental
orders. We have relied upon the heads of
the service to carry out our wishes with
the result that while we are as far from
realizing all to which we believe we are
entitled, We have Jared as well if not bet
ter than stronger organizations.
Probably the life Of no government en-
ploye IS fraught with so many dangers and
hardships as that of a postal clerk. We
are the only class that neither know how
long nor when we nave to work. There is
no such word as hours in our vocabulary.
Statistics show that the work is even more
hazardous than the army or navy. 1t is a
service that took the lives of eighteen men
last year; a service that injured seventy
eight seriously and $50 slightly. The service
no longer attracts sufficient applicants to
keep the department from embarrassment
I'm the work of some divisions. Suitable
men are becoming rarer every day"

Should il so happen that in the near flu

of an embarrassing situation. Better still,

a sigh Of relief in the BARRIERS chair, be ex-
plicit-indeed, specifc-ten the white-coated
gentleman who is motorman of the razor,
just what you want. Don't say: Shave,

ten cents worth of whiskers." If you don't
you are liable to have trouble, for there is
a rumor abroad that Indianapolis BARRIERS
are going TO restrict the scope of the magic
word shave. and make 1t include the face
and throat; if you wan your neck shaved,
it will cost you five cents extra. This is
said TO be what is going to happen in the
indianapolis barber shops before many
moons.
Did you ever try TO shave the back of
your neck yourself? Try it if you are
thirsty for blood. The most peculiar thing
about. the innovation is thai it wasn't
thought of before. But it is the simple
things that are sometimes hardest TO hit
upon. A few men have friends devoted

WOODWORKERS OF CITY
THREATEN BIG STRIKE
Say There Is Truth in Report that
Piece-Work System VIII Be
Adopted-Longer Hours.

Woodworkers place belief in the report
that the employers of all the woodwork
ing factories and mills in the city are to
change their system of employment begin
ming next week from day to piece work,
thereby cutting down the wages of en-
ployes, increasing the hours of work and
practically maintaining open shops.
The local woodworkers have been holding
many meetings this week, discussing the
reported move. At a meeting held several
nights ago they voted unanimously on a
strike at the Indianapolis Chair and Furni-
ture Company, where the change from day
to piece work has already been instituted.
1t is understood that all other transitions
on the part Of other woodworking employers
will be opposed by the same action.
Should the operators carry out the ru-
mored plans, it is likely that there will be
a general strike of the woodworkers of this
city.
Such a strike would involve several hun
dred woodwOrkers and a number of the
wOOdcarvers. A conference will be held to-
day by the operators and the employees of
Smith, Day & Co, but the purpose Of
the conference is not known, as it is said
to have been called by the employers.
Men of the woodworking craft claim that
a change from day TO piece work will injure
them greatly and will mean a reduction in
their wages of more than % per cent. and
an increase in their hours of labor.

BELLBOY CUT
A. WOMAN'S STOCKING
Mrs. Edward Benton Will, How
ever, Recover Most of the Money
Lost While En- Route.

Mrs. Benton, wife of Forger Edward Ben
ton, who is now confined behind the bars at
the county Jail awaiting his trial in the
Criminal Court, received word yesterday
that the police department of Buffalo had
1892 for her at the police headquarters
there, and she left yesterday for Buffalo.
Several days ago she left her home in Bos-
ton to come to Indianapolis to see her hus-
band, who is under arrest here for forgery.
She came by the way of Buffalo and as
she had several hours TO wait there for a
train, went to the Arlington Hotel, where
she engaged a room and went TO sleep.
When she awoke to catch her train she dis
covered that she had been robbed of $500.
The hotel authorities advanced her some
money to continue her journey to Indian
apoliS and promised to recover her money
if possible. A bellboy was suspected and
he was arrested yesterday and accused of
the theft. He admitted stealing the money
and returned 1892. stating that he had spent
the alance. He cut the roll of money
from Mrs. Benton's stocking while she
slept. Mrs. Benton will return to Indian
apolis as soon as she RECEIVERS her money
and will be here during the trial of her
husband.

THOMAS KEEFE WANTED
IN CHARLOTTESVILLE
Old Sleuth Methods in Tracing a
Watch That Had Been
Stolen.

Thomas Keefe. alias Mckinney, was taken
to Charlottesville yesterday afternoon by
City Marshal Patton, of that city, and will
be held there pending his trial for blowing
a safe at Brooks, Ind, where it is said he
secured about $500 and a gold watch. Keefe
was arrested by the police here some time
ago as a suspected member of a gang Of
safe blowers which was operating in In
dianapolis, but a week ago he was released
from Jail on an appeal bond.
A day after he was released word came
from Charlottesville that he was wanted
there for safe cracking. Detectives Hauser
and Larsh were detailed TO search for him
and had no trouble in locating him and
placing him under arrest. A watch carried
by Keefe when he was arrested at Craw-
louisville last fall proved his undoing. The
CrawfOrdsville police cOnfscated the watch
and by tracing its ownership from the fac
tory TO the purchaser learned that it had
been stolen along with $500 from a safe in
the office Of Mr.. Hess. a Brooks merchant.
Keefe refused yesterday to talk about the
charge against him.

AUDITOR BRINGS SUIT
FOR TAXES ON ESTATE
Cyrus ]. Clark Makes Allegations
Against Persons Having Custody
of Shindler Property.
AFFAIRS OF THE COURTS
Matters of Interest That ConSti-
tute the Daily Grind of the
Mill of Juctice.

Cyrus j. Clark, az auditor OF Marion
county. filed suit yesterday against Caro-
line Shindler and Margaret Shindler to
collect unpaid assessments Of taxes on the
property of Oscar c. Shindler, located in
this county and valued at about $4,000.
Clark alleges that two years before Shin
dler's death, which occurred on Nov. 10,
1899. he was declared Of unsound mind and
the Indiana Trust Company was appointed
guardian and acted until Nov. Is of the
same year Margaret Shindler qualified as
executrix of the estate of Shindler four
days after his death and served until 1901.
The auditor states that for four years
before the death of Shindler and during the
time that the Indiana Trust Company and
Margaret Shindler had charge of the es-
tate only a small part of the property was
returned for taxation.
