MOTORCYCLE WRECK
Machine Skids, Throwing
Him on His Head.-Un-
conscious ~ Hours.

Frank Metzger, son of Joseph Metz
ger, living on the National Road, east
of this city, met with a very painful
and serious accident last evening
shortly before o'clock while riding a
motorcycle on the road leading from
New Paris to Westville.
The machine, upon which Metzger
and a friend, Howard Hawekotte,
were riding, skidded, going down an
embankment. Metzger's skull was in
.jured, causing concussion.I Metzger
was unconscious until 8 o'clock this
morning. Hawekotte was injured but
slightly.
Metzger and Hawekotte left this city
about 1880 o'clock last evening. The
machine was running at a moderate
rate of speed on the road to New
Paris, when it struck bad place in
the road, Metzger losing control of it
and the motorcycle dashing down a
twenty-foot embankment Metzger
was thrown over the handles of the
machine, falling on his head and shoul-
der.
Hawekotte, upon astertaining his
friends condition ran to nearby
farm house and telephoned to a ply
sician at New Paris. The physician
removed Metzger to the latter's home
in the formers automobile.
Metzger's condition is slightly i'm.
proved this afternoon and it is be.
lieved he will recover. In August, 1910
he was injured at the Murray theater
building. Metzger was working on
the front of the building when a mum.
Der of bricks from the top of the
structure fell, he being covered by the
debris. He is well and favorably

ACCUSE A FARMER
As POULTRY THIEF
Charles Milton, Tracked to
This City by Rural De-
tectives, Is Arrested.

Trailed by two farmers, who had
missed poultry at various times,
Charles Milton, farmer living north
west of the city, on the Chester pike,
was arrested this morning on the
charge of chicken stealing by Officer
Vogelsong. He had just disposed of 1856
pounds of choice chickens to A Mitch
ell, S03 North Tenth street, for ten
cents pound. Milton will be slated
with grand larceny.
rubber tire on his phaeton, torn
and worn out in places, lead to his
arrest. It is alleged Milton stole chick
ems at the farm of George Rothermel,
eight miles north of the city on the
Chester pike this morning and then
stole some more at the farm of Sam
Smith, on the Arba pike. The tracks
of the torn rubber tires in the road
were followed by Harvey Galbraith
ard S. G. Alexander, farmers living
nearby, who had previously lost chick
els and suspected Milton.
The men followed the tracks into
this city and notified the police of
their suspicious. The police had rea-
sons to suspect Milton of chicken
thievery and Officer Vogelsong arrest
ed the man at Third and Main streets
at S:30. His horse and outfit could not
be found at the time, but were later
secured. In the buggy were found sew
eral sacks of chickens.
Milton will be arraigned on the
charge of grand larceny in police
court Friday, morning and bound over
to circuit court on this charge, it is
probable.
The police have long had Milton un-
der surveillance. He is suspected of
robbing several chicken pens in the
last year He did not admit his guilt
He did not raise chickens, but has
sold many hundred in this city in the
last few years, and the police have
watched him carefully. He stands a
very good show of being sent "over
the road" the police say.
The police state his scheme is to in
wade chicken roosts and strike sulphur
matches. then hold the match near
the heads of the chickens. The fumes
from the sulphur causes the chickens
to relapse into sound slumber, then
they are easily transported to the wait
ing wagon. The man is said to oper.
ate alone.
Police Chief Gormon made a trip to
the Milton farm, and there he says he
found further evidence of chicken
stealing. He said this noon that two
men nositiyely identified ah;eLone
found at the Milton farm. as being
property stolen from them. Hundreds
CT chickens were found at the Milton
farm, although Milton does not raise
them.

and would have been equally as sue
oessful had it not been for the timely
arrival of Officer HebbIe, who stopped
tnc mems work and put them to flight
when they were within ten minutes of
their goal. The men used drills, tap
pers and cam drill in the Indianapo-
lis robbery. These tools We're found in
the store after the robbery, together
With a number of other tools, including
and bits used here and captured by
the police were new, showing that the
raen secured an identical outfit after
the indianapolis burglary.
Police Chief Gormon of this city
spent yesterday with Supt- Hyland of
Indianapolis, and both agreed, after
careful scrutiny of the facts inciden-
tal to both robberies. that one and the
same gang turned both tricks Addi-
tional corroboration is given the story
by the fact that three men did the In
dianapolis job Three men we're sur
prised at work here. The gang is be
heved by both police chiefs to operate

tinue to oil the streets which he has
already oiled, at the contract rate of
21a cents per lineal running foot for

HENEY HOLDS SEAT.

CHICAGO, June 13.-The Taft
steam roller crushed onward today
and seated twelve more delegates
from Mississippi. giving the president
a total of 153 victories to RooseveIt's
one. The only time the engineers OF
the roller hesitated was when a sen
sational attempt was made TO unseat
Francis ]. Heney. a fiery California
Roosevelt leader. The motion was
tabled a9d Hepey was allowed 10 con-
tinue his opposition to the Taft opera
tions.
Then the factionaI fight in the COM
mittee was brought TO a crisis when
the Missouri cases, involving four dele
gates-at-large and ten district dele
gates, and regarded as the pivotal con-
test of the two factions. were brought
up. There were rumors that only
enough of the Taft men would be seat
ed to give the president a majority OF
the states SO delegates.

CHICAGO, June 13.-The Roosevelt
delegates-at-large from Missouri were
sc eated by the national committee this
afternoon.
This victory for Roosevelt, the sec
end since the committee began its ses-
sions, gives the Colonel a total of Ave
seated by the committee. The Roose-
welt men were given their seats on
motion of Senator Penrose of Penn
sylyania, national committeeman at
the head of the Taft steam roller brig
ade. His motion provided that four of
the eight delegates elected with half
of a vote each be seated, each with a
full vote. The Roosevelt victory came
after Governor Hadley of Missouri ap-
reared before the committee to argue
the cases of the Roosevelt men and
h6d shown conclusively that the con-
NeLtion had been regular. Charges
that the Roosevelt men had agreed to
split the delegation-at-large to the Chi
cago convention, giving Taft and
Roosevelt equal representation with
out instructions were the basis of the
contests fled by the Taft men.
A Complete Surprise.
Governor Hadley asserted that no
such agreement had been made. PEN
roses action came as a complete sur
price to the Roosevelt men. Ii had
been decided at a hasty conference of
the Taft men of the committee that
he should make the motion seating the
Roosevelt delegates. Frank B. kellogg
of Minnesota, Roosevelt champion.
was on his feet ready to offer a similar
motion when Chairman Rosewater
recognized Penrose.
The Penrose motion was carried on
a vive voca vote. Representative Bart
holt, who held proxy. moved To make
Essen, one of the contesting Taft
delegates, a delegate, and McIndoe an
alternate, but his motion was lost.
Roosevelt men were jubilant over
their victory and for ten minutes after
the vote on the delegates-at-large the
committeeman chatted with each 9TH
