POLICE GREET AGED
GERMAN WHO CAME
TO ASK AID OF TAFT
lowan Who Thought Presi-
dent Would Lift His Debt
Stopped at Depot.

Jacob Rusterholz, a little, fraiI. Seven
ty-two-year-old German farmer of
Crawford county, Iowa, came to Wash
tngton this morning to get Presiden.
Taft to pay off the mortgage on his
farm. On account Of developments I'M
foreseen by him. Rusterholz did not in
terview the President
When Rusterholz stepped out Of a
Pennsylvania train at $40 o'clock this
morning six Secret Service men. five
station police. and half dozen Dis
trict officers swarmed on him and con-
Quoted him to a small room in the
southeast end of the station. Five
along a hallway bordering the room on
the way to his automobile. The Presi-
dent was unconscious that anyone in
the vicinity particularly desired to see
him, and Rusterholz has not yet learn
ed that he really got within ten feet
Of the Presidential presence.
Rusterholz had a few minutes wait
at Harrisburg, Pa, last night on his
way East, and as he paced up and down
the station platform his manner seemed
a little odd to Night Policeman J. F.
Shepley, of the Harrisburg station. He
accosted the old man and after some
difficulty learned that Rusterholz had,
according to his story, an appointment
with the President A telegram was
sent to authorities here, and Shepley
Travelled along with the old farmer
Rusterholz's examination was con-
Quoted by Detective Edward Horn
of the Central Office. The old man
speaks little English and with diff
fculty cOmprehended questions put to
him.
The President, he will pay off the
he said finally. He is a
good man, yes? MOP"
who told you he will pay it?"
policeman asked Rusterholz.
There was no answer to this nor
to a long string of other questions. |
though the old man frightened when |
asked If he had a wife.
"Ya, but she ISIS no goot," he re-
piled.
The mortgage on his farm was ex-
scuted in 1895 and bears evidence that |
interest has been paid for sixteen |
'ears. 1t Is in the sum of $4,000.

CITIZENS, REBUFfED
BY COMMISSIONERS.
WILL DELAY REPLY
Answer to Their Bid for
Voice in Laws Will
Be Made.

The answer of the Commissioners to
the Federation Of Citizens Associations
In which they say they do not con-
ceiye 1t their duty to always act in
accord with view Of the majority of
the residents and taxpayers of the Dis
trict, will be considered at a special
meeting of the federation, the date of
which has not been determined
No reply will be made to the Com
missioners until after this meeting,
which will be called probably within a
week or ten days.
The Commissioners declined today to
make any statements concerning their
reply to the request of the Federation
that all District bills be published, and
that a date be set for a hearing on each.
expressed in the letter forwarded Satur-
day.
The statement that they do not feel
called upon to always act in accordance
with the views of the majority of resi-
dents and taxpayers, however, Is under
stood to result from the feeling that
they are under obligations not only TO
District citizens, but to the people OF
the United States as well.
The United States paying one-half of
the expenses of the District, the Com
feel that the Federal Gov
eminent is to be considered in the max
ing of appropriations for local needs
Certain measures might be Introduced.
Il is pointed out, which, while OF dis
tinct advantage to the taxpayers of the
District. would not afford the same
measure of justice to the people of the
United States who are called upon to
pay one-half of the bills.

Gentle Voiced Mary
Ordered to Stay Home

Unless Mary Hawkins can prevail
upon her mother to go with her while
she revels in the dreamy waltzes of the
dance halls, colorcd society will be de-
prived of her terpsichorean achieve
ments for six months.
This is the decree OF Judge William
H. he Lacy. And the worst of II Is,
Marys mother doesn't care anything
about dancing. She would rather stay
at home and go to bed. She told the
judge this, explaining she couldn't stay
up as late as young folks.
Mary, submissive and gentle-voiced,
appeared before His Honor to explain
how II was that twelve hours before
she had been riotous and harsh voiced.
The Judge told her If she had spoken
in the gentle way she talked to him
she would not have been charged with
profanity.
Testimony was given that after Mary
had attacked one of the feminine dane
ers with verbal weapons. something
more substantial in the way of a razor
was drawn from the stocking Of the
assailed person. Mary Is said to have
made a rapid exit, and started on a
fast overland trip, when she was stop
ped by the cop. A few parting missiles
in the way of hard words were fired by
Mary as she was leaving the Cadets
armory.
Judge De Lacy cnided the mother for
allowing her girl to remain out so late
at night, and that for the next six
months she should not be permitted to
leave the house after dark, except in
her company.

The matter IS entirely up to the viii

NOT WORRIED

Investigation of the books of the viii

county grand jury resulted in an in
dictment against Martin Finneran. for
mer village clerk yesterday, he being
charged with having collected s2.75O
from the Michigan Central railroad as
a special assessment after having been
discharged as collector of assessments
and having deposited 1t in his private
bank account
Miss Virginia Brooks. backed by a
number of West Hammondites. was at
the bottom of the investigation.
Martin Finneran, in speaking of the
investigation last Monday, said he
would be able to explain the whole
transaction in satisfactory manner
That he collected the money after his
discharge was due to the fact that to
his knowledge his successor had not
yet properly qualified. and that the $2.-
$50 in question had been turned over to
the paving contractor in return for the
bonds, which in turn were given to the
village treasurer.

INSTITUTED
IN REFORM


Alleged failure on the part of
former village officials of West Ham
mond to file the required certificate of
completion Of pavements on Went
worth avenue. State street and One
Hundred and Fifty Fourth Place. in the
circuit court of Cook county, is the
basis for new investigation that Miss
Virginia Brooks is about to institute
for the benefit of the taxpayers.
In order that there may be a united
attack on the system" a mass meet
ing is to be called for next Sunday
evening and in the meantime all the
interested property owners on these
streets may communicate with her by
letter addressing her at 322 One Hun
dredy and Fifty fifth Place.
Miss Brooks is authority for the
statement that the assessments for
these pavements can be successfully
attacked on the ground that the tax
payers had no opportunity to remon-
strate, because of the fact that notice
of completion and approval had not
been properly fled Had this been
done in accordance with the law the
court would have set a date for hear
ing Instead the contra ctors were
paid part or all of the money on some
of the Improvements without the bonds
having been returned to the village.
