Late arrivals at the Hotel Majestic
last night Were relieved of their lug
gage, registered, and escorted to their
room by two night clerks. In the morn
ing they learned the cause of this
double service. 1t is John Glennon's
plan of protecting his hostelry from
abscondins night clerks.
In the past week the proprietor has
had considerable trouble with that
class of men, in fact the period of trial
and tribulation dates back for a couple
of years in which time five night clerks
have folded their tents like the Arabs
and silently stolen away-with the
cash receipts.
Edgar Delaney was the last to go.
It was at first rumored that he mere
ly took cash but it has been found that
he made a general clean up. The prop
erty of guests has never been disturbed
or their rights interfered with.

Awaits Answer.
NO TROOPS ARE SENT
TO FRENCH LICK
TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL.


AT STATE CAPITAL.
Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 28.-Much
merriment has been stirred up here
by the publication of an interview
with Mayor Lew Shank, the erratic
and eccentric mayor of Indianapolis,
in which he takes a fall out of Gov
ernor Ralston, for sending state
troops to the Mineral Springs race
track
When he heard that the Governor
had ordered troops to the Porter race
track he said:
Il see in the newspapers that
Sammie (meaning the Governor) is
going to send troops to Mineral
Springs to stop gambling. aWhy
doesn't he send them to French Lick?
A Funny Situation.
TT is rather funny that he told the
Terre Haute people they could handle
their own situation and then turns
around and sends soldiers to the race
track.
I've never peen TO Mlneral springs,
but I'll bct--the place is away Off. by
itself. where IT don't bother anything
and a lot of fellows go down there
from Chicago for little pleasure. If
1 were Governor 1 wouldn't be a four
fusher I would either let Mineral
Springs alone or I would give a reason
for sending troops.
I'D say. Look here. boys. I've got
some friends dows at French Lick and
/ don't want you running In opposi-
tion to them But 1 reckon you can't
blame the Goversor for looking after
his friends If it wasn't for the gamb-
ling French Lick would be an awfully
dead place.

LITTLE JEFF
TRAPPED IN
EAST CHICAGO

Little Jeff' with three others
were captured at East Chicago
after the great Inland Steel check
forgeries two years ago. 1t was
the most brilliant police capture
ever made in this county. Little
Jeff" and his gang worked the
merchants at East Chicago for
nearly $4,000. 1t is believed to be
they who pulled off the same
stunt at Gary, Joliet and other
steel manufacturing towns. Lit
tie JEFF" was in both the East Chi
cago and Crown Point jails and
later turned over to the South
Chicago authorities. The other
members of the band were sent to
Michigan City. The East Chicago
police consider Little JEFF" the
slickest crook In the world.
