THREE ARE ARRESTED
ON HOLD-UP CHARGES
Trio, Masked and Armed, AC-
CuSed of RanSaCking Country
= Home of Perry KOrn.

Masked and armed with revolvers,
Ernest Arnold, 80 Vistula av., Louis
BartOl, Harrison av., and Ralph Nc
have entered the nome of Perry KOIn,
six miles from tI.5 city on the Sump-
ton Prairie road, and held up Mr..

the home from cellar to garrett.
A gold watch was taken from
Korn's pocket and it was said that
$14 in cash was found in the house.
After tearing the telephone from the
wall so that their victims GOULD not
call the police, the bandits left the
house.
The three men named were arraign-
ed after Arnold and BartOl made an
alleged confession to the police de-
partment. Arnold and Mcintyre were
arrested after the latter had attempt
ed to pawn an Overcoat for a revolver
and later had returned 10 the same
shop with a watch which was iden-
titled as the one taken from Korn
After having spent a. night in Jail and
severe questioning by the police Off
cials, Arnold and Bartol are said to
have confessed.
They said that Mcintyre and Bartol
did the actual robbery while Arnold
remained on the outside to give warn
ing of any approaching danger.
Mcintyre will be tried in city court
for robbery and larceny Jan. is.
Meanwhile he has been released upon
bond of 5000.

First Full Weeks Session of In
diana Assembly Sees Intro
duCtion of High Class of
Proposed Measures.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 16.-The first
full weeks session of the Indiana gen.
eral assembly found a class of legis-
lation introduced which probably ex-
GELS in quality that of former legiS-
lation for years The quantity was
not great, probably only One-third
the number of bills being introduced
at this time that were before the
house two years ago. Dozens of the
representatives and senators declared
they will introduce no bills, taking the
position that the best legislator Is he
who sits to kill bad legislation rather
than he who spends his time intro
ducing bills.
None of the democratic administra-
ton measures have SO far appeared
but all are in course of preparation
and will be introduced. 1t is prCb-
able that a primary bill providing
for state wide primaries will not pass
this session, although the party is
obliged to that. Primary bills, how
ever, will be on hand in gOOdiy array
in both houses. John +. Jones in the
house already has his primary bill
following closely the laws of that in
troduced by him two years ago, in
preparation. Sentiment among the
legislators seemed to be against the
of a state wide primary law.
1t may be probable, however,
that a primary law designed to be op-
tional 10 counties will be the solution
Of the situation. The same probably
is true in a modified extent Of the
registration question, At least three
bills already are in the two houses
providing for the repeating OF the
present registration law.
Propose New Registration Law.
Under the constitution of Indiana
IL is doubtful if the registration law
now on the books can be repealed
without the supposition of another bill
and the sentiment among the leaders
in both houses seems to be that such
a bill would relieve the poorer coun-
ties of the state, and particularly the
agricultural counties from the use Of
registration law. It is argued that
in this class of counties everyone
knows everyone else and the regis
tratiOn not only is costly but cuts
down the total vote OF the elections
because of the fact that the farming
class particularly Will give up one day
to voting but rarely viii listen 10 the
politicians enough TO give up a day
for registration as well as a day at
election time The weeks activities
in both houses have seemed TO point
TO the reconciliation Of the democratic
leaders who at the start Of the present
week seemed opposed to each other
on certain subjects.
The legislature, too. seemingly has
developed into a possible ground for
waring forces in Marion county. The
city administration bills relating to
Indianapolis have become the topic
Of much Of the conversation among
legislators. There are five OF these
bills. none OF them affecting particu-
larly any one outside of Marion
county and there is not a little an
tipathy being raised among the out
side members o. both houses against
this attempt 70 make state wide legis-
latiOn subservient 10 the desires OF a
certain group o. democrats, and pos
sible republicans in Marion county

Another important fact that was

between the police department, the
board OF public safety, Mayor Keller

''The city had a certain fund on hand

What was thought TO be a clew as
to the whereabouts Of Quilhot was
