SUIT ACCUSES
COUNTY, HEADS
Charges Muncie Sheriff and
Prosecutor With ExtOrtiOn.

MUNCIE, Ind, Feb. 25.--Sweeping in
vestigation of the offices of Sheriff
Thomas Hyatt, Prosecutor Clarence Be
nadum and Justice of the Peace Tim
othy Owen, all republicans, is expected
today, as the result of n suit filed in
the circuit court late yesterday by per
sons caught in a recent raid on an al
legged resort, charging the three officials
with eXtOrtion.
The suit has created sensation in
Muncie and Delaware county, owing to
the fact that former Mayor ROllin Fl.
Bunch and former Prosecuting Attorney
Horace G.. Murphy were only recently
sentenced to two years at Atlanta prison
for completely in the famous Muncie
swindling cases.
Owen, who is also a deputy sheriff, is
charged in the complaint with having
promised to let all the defendants go free
If they would give him $3.50. When he
was told this amount could not be
raised, he reduced his Offer, the COM
plant alleges to $225, and finally ac-
cepted $3.50 as a conditional sum, ac-
cording to the plaintiffs.
All the officials have denied the allega-
tions and say they court the fullest in-
vestigation.
The suit also asks that the present
grand jury he dismissed and that spe
cial prosecutor be put in charge of a new
jury. The complaint in general charges
the three officials with conducting raids
without proper authority and collecting
various sums from the persons caught.

JeWett Clique
Kills Harmony

Mayors Friends Accused of

Gets q Rap.

All is not harmonious at the Marion
club.
The Jewett and anti -Jewett squabble
has penetrated the walls of this good
republican organization and, consequent
ly, the hard feeling.
1t Is this way, according to member
of the club: Charlie Jewett and a few
of Charlie Jewett's friends, have de-
clded that they will boss the club. The
members of the club, for the most part,
have decided that they will not manage
the club. Hence discord.
There Is not the best of feeling between
the Marion club and the Columbis club.
The Columbia club is a highbrow organ
ization. Charlie Jewett is said to lie IN
little better standing there and for
this reason the rivalry is increased.
ENFORCE RULE on

Charlie Jewetts secretary, Claude
Wallin. lives at the Marion club. Recently
rule was put into effect requiring all
resident members to pay their room rent
In advance.
Claude couldn't see It. He had never
paid his room rent in advance before
and why should he do tt nowf Anyway,

this was avoided.
But this Is NOT all
Mr.. Ulrey recently had a secretary. She

said to have been too friendly to the

Mr. WallIn is still a member Of the

ERZBERGER ROUT
UNDER CHARGES
TaX-Dodging Cry Likely to
Block Return to Cabinet.

BERLIN, Feb. 25.-President Ebert has
accepted the request of Matthias Erzber-
ger, minister of finance, that he be sus-
pended from his ministry until cleared
OF charges that he falsified his personal
tax returns.
The presidents decision, II was gen
orally believed, marks the end of Err
berger's connection with the finance min
istry. The undersecretary of state will
assume the post
Erzberger asked a trial to determine
the truth or falsity of the charges.
Hamburg newspaper asserted he had
far underestimated his personal wealth,
paying taxes only on a nominal income,
The virtual resignation came as the re-
suit of fight by Erzberger to disprove
the charges made against him. His suit
against DIR. Karl Helfferich, former min
lister to Russia, was designed, newspapers
declared, to establish his innocence Helf-
ferich has charged the finance minister
was dangerous member of the govern
ment."
Instead of establishing his innocence,
however, 1t was generally conceded that
Erzberger only involved himself deeper.

candidate for the democratic nomination
for governor may go on the primary
ballot IN Indiana whether he consents or
rot, according TO friends Of the former
governor who are urging him TO seek the

Despite the fact that Mr.. Ralston is
refusing 10 become candidate. an or

name on the ballot and petitions have
been sent broadcast over the state.
Othniel Hitch has been made temporary

we take the liberty of addressing you
on a subject which we deem OF vital in

Importance to the democratic party in
Indiana. viz: that of the nominee OF the
party for governor of this state.
Notwithstanding the high character
and personal merit OF the excellent gen
tlemen who are now seeking that nomi
nation, there IS an insistent demand con-
stantly coming up from the rank and
ile of the party. as well as from nu-
merous leaders, that you are the logical
candidate and should not allow any
personal consideration or seeming incon-
slstencies to stand in the way of your
again becoming the standard bearer of
the rarty for this high and important
office
REASONS GIVEN
FOR CANDIDACY.
From many persons numerous and va
ried reasons are assigned for this we'll
nigh universal demand, among which are
the following:
81 The general recognition among we'll
informed people of all parties of the sue

former administration
go The need under present conditions
of a man for this office who has proven

BOOZE ISSUE
HAS SLIM HOPE
IN CAMPAIGN
Neither Party Indicates Inten-
tion of BrOaching Subject
at Convention.
LAST STRAW VANISHING

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Those who
still hang on to the hope that at one
convention or the other John BarleycOrn
will be given one more chance for his
life, might just as well begin casting
about for another straw to cling to. No
such hope Is held out here.
The carefully noted attitude of OH
cials at party headquarters, coupled with
somewhat exhaustive inquiry among
party leaders and party followers here,
reveal absolutely nothing resembling a
serious intention on the part Of either
republicans or democrats of broaching
the subject Of "booze" at Chicago or
San Francisco.
WET PLANK DEMAND
NOT STRONG ENOUGH.
The "rum rebellion" IN Michigan and
the oft mentioned reaction reported to
exist throughout the country against the
great drought, some politicians believed,
would lead to WET" plank I'm one, or
both. the party platforms.
A study of the question here failed TO
show that the alleged demand for drink
has caused even a ripple at either OF the
national party headquarters.
The attitude Of the old parties seems
to be that the subject IS loaded with "A
combination Of dynamite aud asphyxi-
atinr gas and few politicians here VIII
willingly discuss without first "hushing
and locking the door.
ISSUE IGNORED

The Republican convention in New
York state IS cited here by the politically
wise as having furnished sample OF
what may be expected at both national
conventions next June.
1t Is pointed out that prohibition was
neither indorsed, condemned on strsd-

Wadsworth Jr., reputed friend OF the
vets was quietly o. nd as republican
candidate to succeed himself in the upper
house. and as a delegate to the Chicago
convention, but even that, those who
are watching the moves here observe, was
done with impeecable discretion.

ST. LOUIS. Feb. 25.-William G. Nc
Adoo, here on a business trip, stopped
long enough to declare for immediate
ratification of the peace treaty.
THE peace treaty and league of ma

once, to enable the Reople of Europe

There shouldn't be any hair splitting

Eighty of the ninety-two Indiana
counties for which figures are avail
able in the office of the auditor of

MYERS TOHOLD
PETITIONS FOR
w. C. M'ADOO
Plan to Protect His Interests
in State Primary Evolved
by Supporters.
ANSWERS G. o. p. EFFORT

1t became evident today the Indiana
supporters Of William G.. McAdOo for
the presidency were willing to keep his
name off the state primary ballot pro-
vided there could be assurances that no
one would attempt to take advantage of
the Indiana primary law to pledge the
Indiana delegation to any one else.
This evidence came in the form of an
announcement today that Walter Myers,
s35 State Life building, had been desig-
mated as the proper person to whom pc
titions for Mr. McAdoo should be re-
turned when they have been signed. Mr..
Myers said he had been requested to re-
ceive these petitions and hold them In
his possession until 1t was finally deter
mined whether there would be fight In
the state primary for instructed dele
gates or whether the friends Of the varl
Gus candidates could agree not to place
the name OF any one on the preferential
ballot. Mr.. Myers said he had not
signed any petition for a presidential
candidate and was In the position OF a
democrat who desired TO see such action
taken as would be satisfactory TO the
friends Of all candidates. For that rea-
son. he said, he had consented 10 receive
the McAdoO petitions and was willing to
receive the petitions now being ctrcu-
lated by friends Of Thomas r. Marshall,
the petitions for both candidates to be
held until Il was determined whether
both names or neither name should go
on the democratic primary ballot
BOTH SIDES TAKE
SAME POSITION.
Both Mr. Marshall and Mr.. McAdoo
have announced their desire TO have uG-
instructed delegations az the San Fran
cisco convention. In Indiana both this
been eyeing each others activities with
concern. The friends OF both men de
clare that they do not desire TO cause
a primary fight for their choice. but
both are equally inslstent that II one
name goes on the primary ballot the
other name must also 40 on 1t.
As the matter stands today both the
McAdoo aad the Marshall supporters are
circulating petitions and declaring hat
whether Mr.. Marshall or Mr. McAdoo de-
sire Il or not. they will hle the
petitions and place the names on the
ballots, unless some agreement can be
made by which neither these two or any
other names shall be placed on tie
ballot.
The designation Of Mr.. Myers ss an
agent for the receipt Of the McAdoo
petitions IS regarded as a step toward
the "harmonizlng" OF the two booms in
sofar as Indiana Is concerned.
MIR. MYERS MIGHT
BF THE UMPIRE.
II Is pointed out that II the Marshall
supporters will 60 as far as the McAdoo
supporters In this respect the question
of whether or not there will be q prl-
mary fight can easily be determined.
Mr. Myers would then be placed in the
position Of an umpire who could insure
fair play TO the supporters Of both eau
dldates. either placing both petitions on
hle and thereby insuring that Indiana
voters would have the chance 70 vote
