BICAMIST FACES
FORGERY CHARGE
IN CONNERSvILLE
Peter Paul Apkins, Former
Richmond Man, Welded
Two Women in Two Weeks
-GormOn Ends Career.

Peter Paul Apkins Of Richmond, un-
til May, 1911, respected citizen ana
an employe Of the Starr Piano COM
pany, who started his felonious career
by marrying twice within few weeks,
will be brought from the Frankfort,
KY, Jail to Connersville in February
and there prosecuted for forging the
name of q Richmond saloon keeper.
Former Chief of Police Gormon will
be one of the chief character" wit
nesses against Apkfns, as it was Mr..
Gormon who arrested the man after
he had eluded the police of other cit
les where he was wanted.
On May 20, 1911, Apkins forged
three checks with the name Of e. H.
Mason, then of Richmond, for total
Of $3.50. After cashing the checks he
left Richmond with Mrs. Bertha Koh-
Ter, widow of Henry Kohler, 1921
Fort Wayne avenue, and went to Par
is, ILL.,, where they were married. Re-
turning to Indianapolis, Apkins told
Mrs. Kohler to wait for him In Rich
mond, as he was goint to Chicago to
arrange their home. Mrs. Kohler nev-
er saw her husband again or heard Of
him until the police told her he was
wanted for forgery.
His marriage to Mrs. Kohler took
place May 21, and on May q he mar
ried Miss Elizabeth Young, Mich.
olasville. KY, young woman. In a
Cincinnati hotel he drugged and rob-
bed her.
The rapidity with which Apkins
worked is shown by the fact that on
May 81, ten days after his first mar
riage, he was in Stirling, Conn.,, where
he expected to marry young woman.
After his arrest by I. A. Gormon,
Apkins was given a two-year peniten-
tiary term on a bigamy charge in a
Kentucky court.

to a man for this series of meetings.
At the close of these meetings it was
determined by the members to make
it a permanent organization and at
the invitation of the Young Mems
Christian Association took its name
and became one of its useful factors.
The purpose and intent of the organ
ization is purely one of service where
ever the opportunity may offer. Al

ment Fair to City.

Mayor Robbins wants the legislature
to enact law at this session whereby
the government of the city of Rich
mond, as we'll as the citizens Of Rich
mond, can obtain direct benefits from
the municipal electric plant.
He would have law enacted where
by at least six per cent on the plant
investment would be paid into the gen.
eral fund of the city annually. AS the
investment in the city plant is now in
excess Of 100000 the city government
would receive annually. on the six per
cent basis. $4,000 for its general fund
to be used for civic betterments.
This proposal has been submitted
to the Commercial club and it will be
thoroughly discussed by the commit
tee on public service corporations, the
mayor and city attorney, and it is
quite probable that within a short
time a bill will be drafted and sub
mitted to the legislature
City Wants Dividend.
The plant is now providing nearly
$4,000 a year for its sinking fund to
meet its bonded Indebtedness and the
mayor believes the city is as much
entitled to reasonable share of plant
earnings as the stockholders of the
Light, Heat and Power company are
entitled to dividends on the earnings
of that plant.
If the city could reduce its rates as
low as possible the mayor says he
would have no objection If plant bene-
fits were derived solely by such an
arrangement But he calls attention
to the fact that the state commission
requires that the city plant shall offer

The charity agencies in the city

which will be of future value in show

the fact that the same amount Of sup

SNOW MELTING FAILS
Heidelman's Experiment
Costs City $40.

John Heidelman. skipper OF the mu-
nicipal steam roller, has found that
his plan of melting snow in cutters
by dumping snow onto a pipe through
which steam from the roller was fore
ed, is not a successful one. The ex-
pertinent was made at cost Of about
$40 to the city. In the first place, the
snow refused to melt to any extent
when deposited upon the pipe and in
the second place it took three men and
two or three teams. of horses to get
the roller back In its barn.

BERLIN, jan, 20. (By wireless)-
While an official report from the Ger

ternoon claims some gains for the
kaiser's troops in both the eastern and
western theatres Of war, the best news
from the Austro-German standpoint
still comes from the Carpathians.
The Austrian success in those noun

er valley. Vienna reports the prob
ability of an early evacuation of Lem
berg by the Russians.
The lifting of the siege of Preze-
mysal and the recapture Of Lemberg,
the capital Of Galicia, would constitute
one of the greatest triumphs won by
the Austro-German allies in the war.
