Obstreperous and 1t Took
Two Detectives to Over

DRAMA OCCURRED EARLY
CHRISTMAS MORNING.
Literary Heels lnf|ict Many
Wounds on the Guardians of
The Peace---Booth Got a
Few Bumps Himself.

Indianapolis. Dec. 26.-F1lled with
the fighting spirit Of his hero. Mon
sieur Beaucaire, Booth Harrington. in
the early hours of Christmas morning,
roundly thumped two of Indianapolis
guardians of the peace. incidentally
he received a few bumps himself and
finally wound up in the city prison.
There desk sergeant with literary
inclinations permitted him to go free
on his own recognizance, after he had
promised to journey straight home
and disturb the peace of lndianas
capital no more. This was not until
he had been slated to answer for a
charge OF resisting an officer and had
promised to appear in court.
The hearing was to have been held
Christmas morning. but the author
was not to be found. and a continu-
ance until Saturday was granted. In
the meantime Detectives Manning and
SamuelS are nursing their bruises and
pre- pairing to tell OF the writer's PROV
ess when given a chance in court.
Won't Go Home; Fracas Begins.
The opening scene of the early
morning drama was at the corner of
Washington street and Capitol aven-
ue. An excited voice had called the
police station on a phone, declaring a
riot was in progress and warning the
officers that unless they hurried some
| one might be killed.
Detectives Manning and Samuels
re spOnded and saw two men running
away, while Harrington and a friend
were standing near carriage, the
friend trying to induce the author to
go home. The detectives knowing
Harrington and not wishing to arrest
him, joined their pleadings to those
OF his friend, but he paid no attention
The officers then ordered him to go
home. intimating that refusal would
be followed by trip to the station
house.
The threat infuriated Harrington
and he began to abuse the officers
roundly, defying them to arrest him.
Seeing he would not go peaceably

to carriage. He fought like a tiger
striking the officers with his fists
kicking their shins. and hurting ana
themas at them. The detectives did
not want to use their maces and went
into a clinch hold, the three rolling
upon the ground. Detective manning
sat'on the authors head and beckoned
Sart'els TO get hold Of his feet but as
the latter approached Harrington rails
ed both feet and let fly with terrific
| force. both feet striking SamueIs
squarely in the stomach and hurting
him backwards into a gutter, where he
sat down violently.
| The officers were as gentle as DOS
sible, until. realizing that forbearance
| had ceased to be a virture, they hurl
ed the author into the carriage, jump
ed in, and ordered the driver to take
them to the police station.

similar Endorsements. In addressing
the Industrial Club OF this city Thurs
day night he brought out a fresh ar
gument OF most timely nature. He
showed how the cash which is taken
out OF the banks and hidden in strong
boxes at times OF financial excitement
like the present would In large part
be deposited In a government savings
bank II such an institution existed,
from which II would promptly and It's
way back into the banks TO restore
some OF the strength they had lost by
the lack OF popular confidence. That
is a sound argument for the postal
savings system which will appeal to
men Of the very class from which
the enemies OF the system are most
apt 10 come. y
In Great Britain, where the postal
savings bank has had a great develop
ment, the private banks are not re-
gsrded as weakened but rather as
strengthened by the reservoir for say
ings. Ten million persons, or almost
