SH|VELY FILES
REFUTE DEN|ALS
Reiterate Endorsements of
Kruger for CoIIeGtor-RuIe
at Washington Makes Rec
Ommendation.
Special to News-Times.

Special to News-Times.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Whether
their endorsements were filed in ad-
vance of the alleged split in the In
diana democracy, and in good faith at
the time, their dispositions having
since changed, the denials of certain
Indiana democrats that they ever
recommended Peter j. Kruger for one
of the Indiana internal revenue col
lectors, are not borne out from the
files in the office of the secretary to
Sen. Benz. +. Shively.
The disposition at the capitol ard
the white house is to look upon an
Endorsement of an application for a
public appointment as final, succeed
ing letters to the appointive power de-
nouncing the applicant, notwithStand-
ing The contention is that a man
should be satisfied with what he is
doing, before indOrsing an application,
and that if he later changes his mind,
the first thing to do is to withdraw
his Endorsement. A name indorsing
an application, later signed TO a letter
opposing an appointment is regarded
as coming from a "double-croSSer' f,
and of but little value in either posi-
ton.
None of the Endorsements made of
Mr.. Kruger appear TO have been
withdrawn. Citizens of South Bend

ment are:

MRS. YOUNG is
BACK In PLACE
John ID. ShOOp Steps Out Without
COmment-New Plans For
School Work.

CHICAGO. Dec. 27.-"Before the
next semester l. February, l believe
I shall have brought about a radical
change in the system Of study in the
Chicago schools. The main principle
Of this change viii be when a pupil
leaves the school for the day his
work will be completed just as when
man leaves his shop or his office
his work is done"
Outlining a system to intensity the
school course Of study was the first
step Of Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, as
she resumed her position as superln-
tendent of public schools Saturday.
efore she again sat at the mahOg-
any desk from where she had direct
ed the policy Of the schools for many
school terms, Mrs. Young assured
herself that her reelection was legal
and that John d. Shoop made a fight
for the place, that she would be the
victor
The parents of the present gene
ration have been getting farther and
farther from their children Through
the schools we hope to bring them
back" said Mrs. Young.
Shoop declined to make any state
ment and took his old place as as
sistant superintendent without cere-
mOny.
Although Atty. Ltzinger announc-
ed that Mr.. ShoOp is through fighting
and is willing to accept things as
they stand, Atty Fyffe, representing
the four trustees ousted by Mayor
Harrison, is ready TO open fire on the
four new trustees appointed 10 an
their places.

MOYER KIDNAPPED
BY OWN FRIENDS
Sheriff Cruise Says Story of
Attack and Abduction Was
RuSe to Draw Sympathy.

CALUMET, Mich, Dec. 27-Sherim
Cruise denied emphatically Saturday
that Charles II. Meyer had been sub
Jected to any rough treatment in
Hancock or HoughtOn Friday night.
and supplemented this by an assertion
that the whole alleged kidnapping af-
fair looked like a frame up" by
Meyer to excite sympathy and secure
aid for his organization.
Cruise said that so far as he had
been able TO learn, the men who ac-
cOmpanied Meyer to the train in
HoUghtOn, were agents of the FEEDER
alton Of Miners and that the mob"
of which Meyer told in Green Bay was
composed entirely OF Meyers friends.
Every one who was known TO have
visited Meyer in his rooms in the
hotel was questioned by Sheriff Cruise
Saturday.
The official said he could not obtain
detailed description of the men who
were said to have attacked and fired
on the miners president, but that he
found many persons who related sim
liar accounts of the alleged attack and
obtained minute descriptions of Meyer
and John Tanner, a federation agent
of Los Angeles, who accompanied
Mover on his trip.

Jail.
The Hardwick postmaster was bit
ter in his araignment of NJ. II. Couch,
the dead lawyer, who for three years
kept his sister as his slave in a little
room Off his office. He blamed Couch
for his sisters downfall and declared
that his tragic death was just retri-
button. Branch refused TO discuss
what plans he had made for his sis
ter's future, he said. however, that
he would not take her TO his own
home, as other members Of his family
were still bitter against the girl
Branch was forced to return to
Hartwick on business connected with
the postoffice but said before leaving

sold all of them copies of her book.

might add TO her income by doing

a simple modest school teacher and
was an easy victim for this man who

he had only a bOb-tail flush. He made
presents to her and met her by ap-
pointment in other places than Mon
