Against Auctioneer Elliott by Charles
Hansche.

On an affidavit charging him with
selling lottery tickets on November
%, Robert III. Elliott, an auctioneer,
employed by Sievert, the jeweler,
was arrested yesterday afternoon by
a constable from Judge Abbott's

leased on a $50 bond and the case
continued until Thursday afternoon.
The defendant In the case claims that
he has not sold ticket since he has
been in the employ of the firm. The

fact that few weeks ago in connec-
ton with the auction of jewelry,
which is being made at Mr.. Sievert's
store tickets were issued with each
sale that entitled the purchaser TO a
chance on one article of jewelry.- 1t
is claimed that this eustom was done
away with upon the request of the

Under Consideration.

Cincinnati, O., December I'm.

the Western Polo League, yesterday
urged Frank Bancroft to organize a
polo team to represent Cincinnati in
their league. Mr.. Bancroft referred
the proposition to President Herr

clined.

day met with no better success.
"I have definitely decided not to
consider the polo proposition at all,
for this winter, at least" said Mr..
Bryce this morning, "and give my
visitors to understand that the ne
gotiations were ended so far as I
was concerned" ..... ....- .-.

CATION of the books.
The Balance Sheet.
The balance sheet, containing all
accounts as due at the close Of the
market last Monday, showed that the
total indebtedness Of the company
to the thirty or more branch Offices
was $51 ,742.76. The books of the
company show that there should be
$3,9S4.26 cash on hand. The reports
received from the banks where the
company had deposits have not all
been received, but the receiver says
he doubts if there is more than $500
in all and this with the 5000 cash
found in the private compartment
of the safe under joan Robert y
name. is the only cash with which to
pay the claims against the company.
What Has Become Of It?
The question of what has become
of the remainder of the $3,994.26 is
one which is likely to find its way
into the Federal court, it is said.
This, with the six checks for an ag-
gregate of $31, ,675 on Fletcher's Ma

SPEEDY JUSTICE
mEETED OUT
TO LEE ADAMS AND CHARM
ING AccoMPLIcE
FROM | To 3 YEARS
b..
In Michigan City Prison Was Given
Adams-The Woman Was Sent
- --,

Very little time was wasted in the
two courts of justice yesterday in
sentencing Lee Adams to the peni-
tentiary.
Adams was arraigned in the police
court about O'Clock on the charge
of petit larceny. He pleaded guilty
and was held to the circuit court un-
der bond Of $1,000. He was arraign-
ed in circuit court at 10 o'clock, and
again pleaded guilty and was SEN
fenced to Michigan City for from one
to three years by Judge Fox, and
fined So and disfranchised for two
years. He will be taken to prison
next week by Sheriff Smith. Adams
was arraigned on an affidavit charg-
ing him with having stolen an over
coat from Peter Hartman of North
Fifteenth and E streets. Hartman
swore that Adams borrowed the ov-
ercoat and then stole it. Adams ad-
mitted his guilt and also admitted
stealing a razor. The coat was val
ued at $16 and the razor at 81. Su-
perintendent Gormon stated that he
had five charges against Adams, any
one Of which would send him to the
nenitentisgy. Adams was arrested
last Sunday with Ida May Tull. The
couple were charged with having
robbed the residence of a man by
the name of Curry, with whom they
boarded in Eaton. The woman ad-
mitted the theft of wearing apparel
to The value of $15, and she was re-
turned to Eaton yesterday. She will
probably be given work house sem
tence. She did not ask for a requi-
sition. Both prisoners state that
they are willing to 60 to prison and
that it was impossible for them to
keep apart when they were not in
prison. They both admitted that
they could not avoid the inclination
to be together and that they could
not explain the strange fascination
as they had frequent fights when
they were together. Adams has been
arrested a number of times and has
a long criminal record and different
aliases. He is but thirty-six years
of age and admits to having three
wives living in different parts of the
State He does not know whether he
is married to any of them legally or
not. He says that he is the father
of four living children. He claims
that two wives live in Kokomo and
one in Columbus. ~.
Adams served sentence Of ninety
days in the Wayne county jail two
Years ago for living illegally with
the Tull woman who was arrested
| with him. The razor and overcoat
which were stolen in this city were
pawned in Dayton. Ohio, after the
robbery was committed in Eaton.

Tinder-Box Wharves.

A fire ragged along the water front of
New York today, doing damage estimated
at one million dollars and seriously Grip
ping the shipping of the port. This is COM
ing to be a frequent occurrence Every few
months fire sweeps the wharves of the big
city and wipes out vast sums in property
values Slowly the lesson is being enforced
by disaster that the water front of a city
should be made as nearly fire-proof as pos
sible- There will of course always be GER
tain degree of risk in such places owing to
the storage of great quantities of infamma-
BILE materials, the proximity of engines and
the employment of thousands of hands
more or less careless in their use of
matches. But these facts warrant the
adoption of every available means of re-
ducing the risk to the lowest point, by the
construction of masonry piers and of brick
or stone sheds and warehouses The aver
age pier or slip is highly infiammable. Some
use has been made in recent years of cor
rugated iron as a shield against sparks but
experience shows that this is a slight SAFE
guard at best when fire starts With stone
piers and buildings and the most rigid rules
against the use of fire on the docks the fire
risk should be reduced materially, and then

The Baltic Fleet.

Paraphrasing Shakespeare, it may be said
that Russian sailor sees a Japanese tor
pedo boat in every craft. That lick at Port
Arthur last February demoralized him.
He has rot since been able to pull himself
together and stand firmly on his pins. He
has become a victim of "creeps" and goose
flesh.
What the Russians fancied they saw in
the North sea is one thing. What the out
side world must consider as likely to have
been there is another thing. Does it not
9ppear TO be nonsense upon its very face
that craft of any kind were there operating
In Japans behaif?- How did they get there
Where did they come from?
The reckless firing by the Baltic fleet
was probably a case of extreme nervous
ness; for it is admitted tina. all sorts of
warnings had been received, and that the
fleet sailed with the fear of encountering
trouble before reaching the French coast.
But this does not help matters at all.
The fleet has just begun it's journey. If it
proceeds, will not its nervousness in
crease? What will be the result when
these men from the land of snow reach the
tropics and the sun heats up their blood
and adds to their responsibility? They
will see things at night then in comparison
with which a North sea fishing fleet is as a
house cat to a royal Bengal tiger; and in
their terror they may pop away indiscrim-
inately, and set the world by the ears.

First Aid to Injured on Railroads.

From the New York Herald. 70
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company in
arranging for instructions to its employees
in methods of administering first aid to its
injured has set a very commenda bic ex-
ample to similar corporations. The need
for such help to passengers is, considering
the number of accidents on different lines
of travel, too apparent to require any COM
ment as to it's urgency. Often for the want
of prompt assistance in such cases many
precious lives have been lost which other
wise might have been spared.
The hemorrhage from a torn or crushed
limb, for instance, may prove fatal in a few
moments. but may be promptly arrested by
the pressure of a bandaged pad to the
wound or a constructing band above the
bleeding point. The prostration from shock
also requires prompt attention with stlm-
ulants, warmth and other restoratives. In
either case no time is to be lost. The an
tiseptic dressing for wounds, although
hardly possible to be absolutely perfect in
all details, is a step in the right direction,
as it will give the victims the best chances
that can be afforded of escaping subsequent
infection. While the sterile appliances are
excellent in their way they are of mini
mum service when applied to uncIean
wounds by unwashed hands. 1t is not to
be doubted, however, that the service will
adapt itself to most of the exigencies that
may arise and thus be of incaIculabIe bene-
fiji to all concerned.
From purely economic view the plan
should appeal to all common carriers, II
for no better reasons than those which per-
tain to the lessening of damage suits and
the saving of costly lives.
