ARMED HOLD-UPs WORK
By a STAT Correnondent.

RICHMOND, Ind, Dec. 3.-The booze
scandal which has been agitating this
quiet Quaker city for a week appar-
entity will end in being nothing but a
scandal. This does not mean that law
violations have not been open and ndgraht
here, for they have, but it does mean
that the problem OF stopping them has
been approached from its offside and the
results hoped for now appear to be i'm
possible of accomplishment.
In the first place. despite reports to
the contrary, no subpoenas have been
served here for the Federal grand jury.
which convenes in indianapolis next
week. Fedora lagents, however, have
been active.
About a week ago three Federal men
came to Richmond to investigate the
booze traffic. The business was largely
because Richmond Is on a main travelled
road leading to indianapolis and much
of the booze Is said never to have reached
indianapolis
Their arrival was heralded from the
house tops. They Immediately became
the center Of public interest and the In
vestigati0n thenceforth was conducted
like circus with an audience OF several
thousand and press agents on the Job.
The result was that the bootleggers'
wares were spirited away, It is said, and
the Federal men found one Of the dry

STREET JOGS NOW
FLOATING IN AIR
Works Board Drops College
Avenue Strengthening
Proposals.

The board Of works temporarily aban-
doned the movement to eliminate bad
traffic conditions due to the joys in
College avenue between Massachusetts
avenue and Tenth streets, today, when 1t
rescinded all action on two resolutions
designed to accomplish Tho.
One resolution called for the straight
ening of the section of street from ST.
Clair to Mary streets and the other for
the opening of Edison avenue from Pom
eroy to Eleventh streets. 1t was plan
ned either to eliminate the joys or take
the street car lines out of this section OF
College avenue and run them in Edison
avenue between Massachusetts, avenue
and Eleventh street.
George Lemaux, president Of the board,
said that all action was rescinded because
the board thought it unfair to push
through an improvement Of this nature
when property owners In the district,
which would be assessed for it. are now
under heavy taxation due to the resur-
facing Of College avenue.
Contracts were awarded for the con-
struction Of a sewer in buckingham
drive from point twenty five and one
half feet east of Boulevard Place to a
point twenty-three and one-half feet east
Of Cornelius avenue to the Columbia Con-
struction Company on a bid Of $500
Iineal foot, total, S3,1T6.45, and for a
sewer in Belmont avenue from the first
alley north Of Michigan street to Tenth
street to the Sheehan Construction COM
pany on a bid of 1918 a lineal foot, total,
S13, 500. 20.
The city civil engineer reported the
completion of the resurfacing of South
street from Illinois street to a point 1S4
feet west Of Senate avenue by the Pre-
mier Construction Company. The engi-
neer's final estimate Of the cost of the
resurfacing is $21, 1894.

been allowed as registration expenses.
The records at that time did not contain
the item of $5,T5, which had been
awarded to Mr.. Fesler/by Commission

SHANK ADMITS
THE ALLOWANCE.
Commissioner Shank admitted he and
Mr. George had allowed Auditor Eesler
three cents & name for each voter whose

Mr.. Fesler wanted about $4,000, but
Mr.. George eontended that the State

There are 170506 names on the regis
