SUIT REVEALS
STRANGE STORY
Also Brings About Arrest OF
Fred Hamilton for SuS-
picion.
COLVIN is IMPLICATED.
PROMINENT MAN ACCUSED OF
BEING CONCERNED IN AFFAIR,
WHICH MAY BE AN ATTEMPT
TO SWINDLE.

Fred Hamilton, former partner OF
Albert Mcclure, who is now held by
the federal authorities to answer a
charge of using the mails to defraud,
is under arrest on the charge of swim
ding ]. H. Kicker of Eldorado. Ohio.
Hamilton is employed as chauffeur
by F. A. Colvin, who is connected
with the overall factory. Colvin is
suspected of being implicated in the
swindle and after the case has been
investigated thoroughly it is probable
he will be taken into custody.
Saturday Kicker, who is a well to do
merchant of Eldorado. came to Rich
mond and opened negotiations with
Colvin for the purchase of his auto
mobile. According to r. L. Study,
Ricker's attorney, Kicker told Colvin
he would give him his motorcycle,
valued at s175 and s40O in cash for
the automobile providing the machine
ran from this city to New Paris on
high speed without breaking down or
having any trouble.
IHlS proposition was aCCeDLaDle 10
Colvin, according to Mr.. Study, so
Kicker left his motorcycle standing
in front of the Colvin home and left
with Colvin, Russell Kicker and a ma.
chinist to make the trial trip to New
Paris. Mr.. Study states that the ma.
chine broke down four times enroute
to New Paris and on arriving there
Kicker told Co1vin that the deal was
off. Colvin made no objections but
told Russell Kicker TO return with
him TO Richmond and get the motor.
cycle. The lad did so but on arriving
at the Colvin home the motorcycle
could not be found. 1t was then learn.
ed that Hamilton had taken it. Ham
ilton was gone all day Sunday but on
his return 70 this city Monday he was
placed under arrest.
Hamilton admits taking the motor
cycle but he states that he did so by
the orders of Colvin. He states Mr.
Colvin told him to take the motor
cycle and sell it, which he did. II
Hamilton's story can be verified he
will be released and Colvin will be
placed under arrest
In the circuit court Kicker has filed
suit against Co1vin to recover the mo
torcycle or its value. Mr.. Study states
that Colvin was in trouble at one time
at Muncie on swindling charge.

Judge Converse Ruled This
Morning and Ordered De-
struction of Liquor Confis-
Gated in Recent Raid.
LARGE BOOZE SUPPLY is
PROTECTED BY POLICE.
Results of Three Raids Stored
Away at Headquarters, and
Only Spiders and Mice Re-
joice About the Bottles.

Judge Converse this morning in the
city court ruled that the liquors seized
last week at the Jones pharmacy at
Whitewater should be destroyed. Ar
guments for and against this order
were made before the court Monday
afternoon. After making his ruling
Prosecutor Jessup requested the court
TO order the booze held until after the
trial of Arthur II. Jones on the charge
of operating a blind tiger. This
charge has been filed against Jones 70
the circuit court.
Prosecutor Jessup stated that the
state desires to hold the booze as evil
dence against Jones. Judge Converse
stated that it would be unnecessary
for him to issue such an order, as At
torney b. c. Robbins. representing the
defendant, had notified him he will ap-
peal the decision to the circuit court
Judge Converse by his ruling this
morning virtually holds the opinion
that Jones operated a blind tiger and
that the liquor found in his possession
must therefore be destroyed How
ever, the question of whether or not
Jones operated a blind tiger will be
passed upon by the circuit court. Pros
ecutor Jessup believes the states case
will be greatly strengthened by the
city courts ruling when Jones is tried
in the higher court.
Pending the hearing of the Jones
case in the circuit court the booze will
be added to the already large collec-
ton now in the custody OF the police.
In one of the rooms of the city build
ing there is now enough booze of all
descriptions to stock a first class sa-
loon. Besides Jones, the Eagles club
and the Westcott hotel have contrib
uted to this collection. The booze
seized at the Eagles club has been in
the possession of the police since last
November. About six months ago ar
guments for and against the destruc-
tion of this booze were heard before
Judge Converse but up to the present
| time he has made no ruling on the
case. The booze seized at the West
colt hotel last May is being held as ev-
idence against George Gay. proprietor
of the hotel, when his case is heard in
| the circuit court some time during tha
October term.

Postponed Convention May
Be Held in Connection With
Big Event and Make Addi-
tiOnaI Feature.
ORGANIZATION WILL BE
FORMED BY BANK MEN.
Claim State Organization Does
Not Represent Them Salts
factorily-Committee Goes
To Indianapolis.

AS an added feature to the fall fes-
tival efforts are being made by the
Young Mems Business cub to induce
the bankers of the Sixth district to
hold their postponed organization
meeting in this city during the first
week in October.
This will undoubtedly help to make
the festival great event 1t is ex-
pected at least 10 or 80 of the repre-
sentative bankers of the district will
attend the meeting and there will be
also a large number of well known
bankers from other sections of the
state attend.
The purpose of the meeting will be
to perfect permanent organization of
bankers of the sixth district. 1t
would be the object of such an or
ganization to bring the bankers into
closer touch with each other In this
manner representatives of the smaller
banks of the section can get together
and discuss questions tIat are Of in
terest to all. 1t has always been
found that at the meetings of the In
diana State Bankers association the
questions discussed are of no particu-
lar interest and have no important
.bearing on the banks of this district
land concern only the banks in the
larger cities.
Local bankers believe that with a
bankers association in this district
questions concerning the banks here
can be placed before the meeting of the
Indiana State Bankers association
with added significance. In other
sections of the state, wnere there are
the district organizations, it has been
found that they are a great help to the
banks in getting many privileges.
More definite arrangements for the
festival will be made tomorrow even
ing by the executive committee of the
Young Mems Business Club. This
morning, Perry j. Freeman, vice pres
ident of the Young Mems Business
club. and Nimrod Johnson, chairman
of the Finance committee, went to In
dianapolis to make arrangements with

were at Indianapolis yesterday and
conferred with officials of the Terre-

tion of an interurban freight track
there. The committee asserts it was
told the fault for the present perplex-

park along Twenty-third street is the
fault of the city officials. The COM
mittee says the end has not come and
it will continue its work until the mat

The committee is composed of Mrs.
NJ. F. Johnston, Paul Ross and Clay

mittee stated this afternoon: I'VE are
we'll satisfied by the results of our
visit. We are more convinced than
ever that the mayor and board of pub
lie works are entirely responsible for
the spoilation of our park and could,
if they would, open negotiations very
shortly looking toward the selection
of another route"
1t is the desire of the committee to
have the public understand it is on the
alert and active at all times. The
committee will leave no way untried
by which it may prevent the actual
operation of a freight line through the
park.

Avoid Kankakee, Fearing
More Trouble.
GRAND JURY BEGINS ITS
WORK WITH 19 ARRESTS.
City Demands That Justice Be
Done and That Mob Lead
ers Suffer for Disgrace
Brought Upon ALL

Springfield, ILL.,, Aug 19.-Two regi-
ments of soldiers went back to Chi
cago today. They will not go
through Kankakee. More will follow
tomorrow. The special grand jury
began an investigation and nineteen
persons are under arrest charged with
participation in riots. Indictments
probably will be returned against all.
Negro members of the fire department
were discharged today for the good of
the service and to avoid friction with
whites. There still remain 2,OOO
troops to keep watch over the city.
There has been no violence of i'm
portance in Springfield today, the dis
turbances being limited to vandalism
and several fist fights. In one of
these a small crowd of white men and
boys set upon a negro and beat him
severely. He managed to break away
and is said to have left the city.
The only affair in which the militia
men were called upon occurred in Har-
ward Park yesterday Residents of
refugees were hiding in the cornfields
and making raids on gardens and
chicken yards. A company of militia
was sent out and brought in the
blacks without any skirmish or firing.
Mining Towns Disturbed.
Reports of disturbances are being
received from the mining towns near
Springfield. At Andrews a negro was
forced to leave town. He appealed to
Gov. Deneen, who asked the states
attorney to act on the matter
At the Woodside and Tuxhorn mines
some of the white workers walked out
rather than dig beside the negro min
ers. They said the blacks were armed
and feared some accident might cause
clash. Both blacks and whites be-
long to the miners union and Off,
cials Of that body met tonight to patch
UP the trouble.
On the advice of the attorney gen
eral Gov. Deneen today refused to ord
err the surrender of Joseph B. Klein to
the kankakee authorities to face a
murder trial. Klein will be retained in
the military until the riot duties OF
the militia are ended. When he again
becomes a civilian, however, he will
be liable to arrest on the warrant, re
sulting from the stabbing of Earl Mel
son.
Citizens Demand Full Justice.

Rescuers Forced Back.

After recovering twenty dead bodies
the rescuers were driven back by
flames early today. Sixty-five more
miners still are entombed and all hope
of rescuing any alive las been aban-
doned. Seven of the rescue party
became unconscious and were brought
out by companions. The bodies of
the recovered victims were too badly
burned to be recognized. Only four
out of the eighty-five men who went
into the mine to wor'l have been
brought out alive and they were un-
conscious. A naked lamp caused the
disaster. Pitiful scenes were enacted
around the mines and mothers and
wives are nearly crazed.
