view with J. P. Morgan, under

II am not apprehensive as to the
business conditions. Physically, the
country is all right. The present atti-
tude of the attorney general toward
the major business interests makes for
uncertainty and has made the country

This apprehension is not confined to
the officers and members of the great
aggregations of capital, but to bust

terests are with or against the big
corporations or simply associated with
them. The condition is a psychological
one.

.PROSECUTRIx FAILED
TO SHOW UP
Fritzinger- Jackson Case Is
Dismissed in Judge
Green's Court.

The case in which Mrs Minnie Fritz
Finger had DR. Lorenzo Jackson arrest
ed on the charge of disorderly conduct
was dismissed in Judge Frank Green's
court on account of the failure of the
prosecuting witness to appear.
At the time the case was filed the
real motive behind the prosecution was
made pubic, and it was made plain
that there would be no publicity given
to attempts to defame the character
of reputable citizens who might be
drawn into the case.
McAleer Bros. appeared as the attor-
neys for the defendant and also made
1t apparent that there would be some
unpleasant revelations of the past ac-
lions of the plaintiff and the result was
that the whole matter was dropped
Judge Green would never have issued
the warrant for Jackson's arrest If ii
had not been hts duty TO do So 1t Is
believed that this case will have salu-
tory effect in a number of other in
stances.

CROWN POINT NOT
TO GET RODGERS
Aviator's Manager Says
Field Owner Tried to
Hold Him Up.
Especial to THE TIMEs,)

According to reports last night
Crown Point people will not get their
long expects opportunity of having
Aviator c. P. Rodgers land here in his
coast to coast aerial trip, on account of
disagreement between the Armour
people who are promoting the exhibit :
ton and Frank Muzzall Lessee of the
field where Aviator Rodgers was slated
to alight. Muzzall and the Armour peo-
pie could not agree on business propo-
sition as to the lease of the field and
the distribution of their win Fiz''
drink. the concotion which the Armour
Co. are advertising in the flight of
Rodgers. The decision of the Armour
people in turning down what they con-
sidered an exorbitant demand. is de-
plored by 80 percent of Crown Points
population. Had the fact become
known in time to make other arrange
ments it is safe to say that plenty OF
other sites along the Erie right of way
could have been secured and Rodgers
been given the welcome he deserves
Crown Point as a whole has never
shown any reluctance to show hospi-
tality and public spirititedness ir

of citizens who would have tickled theil
pocketbooks to make up the necessar,
difference between the interested
parties had the facts become known ::

Never in the History Of

Been Run so Extravagant--

Many Thousands.

Indianapolis, Ind. Sept 30.-One
hing that is causing the Indiana Demo-

Republicans ever tried. AS has been
hated bkfore in these dispatches. the

sampaign issue next year out of the
act thft it is costing a thousand dol
ars q more day more to run the
state now than it did under a Republic
car administration. The Democrats
save beer doing little figuring and
they have found that this is true. and
they are up in the air over it. They dc
not know how TO meet the issue. for
the fact stares them in the face and
they cannot get away from IL.
IT is wei remembered that the Demo-
Gratis took hold of the state govern
Inent under the campaign promise they
made that they would run things on ar
Economical plan, and that they would
save money for the taxpayers. They
raised a howl about the number o.
existed under the Republican admins
trations, and the amount Of money the,
cost. They pointed to the fact that tn,
Offices were full of clerks and said tina
many OF them were unnecessary. Tn,
Democrats promised to do a little prun
ing down of the number of clerks in tn,
various offices. and the people undoub
teddy had a little of this in their mind
when they voted to turn the state owe
to the Democrats.
But tie result has not been what wa
promised. The state has more employee
now than ever had in its history be

some OF the offices and none has bee
