POLICE SENSATION
Exposure of Alleged Rottenness Is
Promised at Evansville.

Promised at Evansville.
Evansville, Ind, June 27.-Chief of
Police Fred Heuke, who made sensa-
tional charges of corruption against
the city administration was tried and
suspended by the board of safety.
Four charges-drinklng on duty, con-
duct unbecOming an officer, conduct
detrimental to good order and the dis
cipline of the force, and publicly com
menting on the official acts of the com
missioners-were made against him.
The hearing will be Friday.
1t is not likely that the chief will
appear, as he feels that he will not
get justice from the men against
whom he has made charges. The
same opinion is held by the council,
which declares the matter was taken
out of it's hands by the police board
and investigated by them.
The council will probably hold an
open court of inquiry to make thor
ough investigation into Heuke's
charges of corruption. If the charges
are confirmed impeachment of the
highest officers of the city government
may be expected. Heuke says that
men high in city affairs have levied
tribute from disreputable resorts for
three years.

MRS. RIDDLE GIVES
BRILLIANT MEXICAN PARTY.

Mrs. a. j. Riddles Mexican card party
yesterday afternoon led all others in
point of distinction, and was an occasion
of unusual beauty and picturesqueness.
The house was brilliantly decorated with
Mexican colors, the flag draped interior
making a most vivid background for tn
pretty gowns of the women. The wood
work about the stairway was entirely con-
oealed with the red. white and green col
ors, while on the draperies between the
sliding doors in the reception hall and
the other apartments were hung innum-
cradle small Mexican flags Above the
doorways were gorgeous and larger flags.
their bright colors even more vivid than
the scarlet roses and carnations that were
used in great profusion throughout the
house The balcony was enclosed and
also hung with the Mexican flags, and
the entire effect, when later the lights
from the chandeliers, which were decor
ated with old fashioned bows of green
satin ribbon, flashed out upon the pretty
scene, was ideally picturesque.
The guests were presented with ex-
quisite moss covered baskets, in which

sent direct from the Mexican treasury
and made most attractive little souve-

tray cloths of Mexican handwork, the
consolation being drawn from horse hair
hats in the Mexican colors The first
prize was won by Mrs. Henry Dean, the
lone hand by Mrs. Evans j. Dunn, and
the consolation by Mrs. Davidson. Miss
Dwyer won the puncher's prize.
In the details Of the delicious luncheon
served at the close of the games the Mex
lean customs were suggested both in the
menu as well as in the decorations. One
of the courses was served with little
feathered cocks while the chicken ia
moles, "hot tamoles,n were cried after
the custom of the Mexican vendors. Sug-
gestive also of the land of cock and bull
fights were the ices designed as minia-
ture bulls, and the cakes as Mexican
flags.
