Terre Haute Man.

Albert Abbinett 10, of Terre Haute.
Ind, was today sentenced to eighteen.
months imprisonment in the federal
prison at Atlanta, Ca, by Judge A. r.
Anderson, of the federal court, on a
charge Of embezzling funds from the
American Railway Express Company.
Abbinett pleaded guilty last December,
but the sentence was withheld during
good behavior on account of his youth.
Abbinett promised at the hearing that
he would replay the $28 he had embez-
zled from the express company at Terre
Haute, but letters to the court from his
mother stated that he was not working
and that the money had not been paid.
She said he was staying out all night
and sleeping during the day, while she
washed clothes to defray the expenses
of the home and keep him supplied with
the money which he demanded.
Last week a special agent was sent TO
Terre Haute and Abbinett was arrested
and brougt here, to the Marion county
jail to await sentence.

BEING SHIELDED
IN ELWELL CASE
District Attorneys Aid Conf
dent Several Know Identity
of Slayer.

NEW YORK, June 19.-Eight days
have elapsed since Joseph B. Elwell, turf
man, international bridge whist expert
and ladies man." was shot to death in
his luxurious home at 244 West Seven
teenth street, but District Attorney
Swami admitted today the Investigators

were on the day il was committed.
Assistant District Attorney Joyce, ac-
lively in charge Of the detectives on the
case. said he believed several persons
knew the identity of the slayer, but were
keeping secret to shield a woman.
According to telephone records, there
were two and perhaps three calls on the
phone from Elwell's home, at least one
made by a woman. a few hours before
the turfmsn was shot.
This Information conflicts with the
story Of Mrs Marie Larsen, Elwelrs
housekeeper, who told the detectives the
telephone was cut Of order.
Mrs Larsen also has admitted that
she knew the owner Of a woman's pink
silk pajamas. boudoir cap and slippers
that were found in ElwelI's bedroom.
Il knew her as Miss Wilson," said
Mrs. Larsen.
"She was young and beautiful and a
brunette"
District Attorney Swami has discov-
cred that Miss Wilson" was an assumed
name.
He has learned the real name Of the
young woman, but has not made it pub
lie.

QuestiOnnaires to BE Mailed
Out Next Week by Com
merce Chamber.

B. A. Worthington, chairman of
the industries committee of the In
6ianapolis Chamber Of Commerce,
today announced plans for making
an industrial survey in Indianapolis.
The work will be in charge of
Myron r. Green, director of the
bureau of industry, and 1t is expected
that the survey questionnaires will be
placed in the hands of the industries
early next week.
The need for an industrial survey OF
the city has been felt by the Chamber
Of Commerce officials for many years,
but the task has never been attempted.
II has been felt that a survey was
needed in order TO give the Chamber Of
Commerce specific information relative
to industrial conditions which would
enable the organization TO adopt sys-
tematic campaigns not only for an i'm
pr0vement Of industrial conditions, but
to enable the location of such industries
which would be OF benefit in the deycl-
oping Of the established manufacturing
concerns.
Preliminary Preparations for the sur
vey have been under way for the last
two months.
Considerable time was devoted to the
preparation OF q questionnaire which
would provide for acquiring Information
OF the grestest use in solving Industrial
problems.
The next task that confronted the
bureau Of industry was that Of obtain
Ing as complete a list as possible or
the industries OF the city.
1t was announced today that approx
imately 1900 industries have been listed
in the files.
During the survey attempts will be
made to ascertain the variety OF goods
manufactured in Indianapolis and the
value Of manufacturing plants. inelud-
Ing grounds, buildings and machinery.
The survey VIII also ask the date OF
establishment Of each industry. the total
number OF employees. and estimates on
pay rolls for 1919 and 1890
The survey will also seek information
on the following points Average rates OF
pay for skilled and unskilled males and
females, increases in labor costs since
the beginning Of the war. sources Of labor
supply. value OF production. detailed sn-
formation on products manufactured and
their estimated value for 1918 and 1920,

IND. AVE. SQUIRMS
AT PROTECTION
Three Policemen Work in Re-
lays on Certain Places.

Rufe Page is peevish, according to re-
ports reaching police headquarters, and
when Rufe gets peevish there is probably
something going to happen.
Mr.. Page, giant negro political worker
who had done much to elect republican
machine politicians in past years who
who was formerly a deputy sheriff In
the days of George Coffin, thinks the
police are laying on him.
Mr.. Page Is reputed to be part or
whole owner in certain poolroom on
Senate avenue. north of Thirteenth street.
where the police have suspected games
Of african golf' are being played.
In fnct the police have been told sew
eral times that colored men shoot craps
I'm the poolroom and that they have
continued to do so in spite Of a series
Of raids.
To be sure the police have failed to get
a conviction following these raids and
Judge Pritchard has found the defend
ants mot guilty" on more than one oc-
casion.
But the raids are not making Mr.
Page peevish oh, no, It is the frequent
visits of two patrollen and a certain
sergeant who have been ordered TO stop
the gambling and these gentlemen have
worked in relays.
That is, one of the patrolmen visits the
poolroom and remains a few minutes and
hardly has he departed when the other
man walks in, and as he leaves In comes
the sergeant, and later the patrolman
stops In to give Rufe police protection.
The same system is being used on In
diana avenue both day and night and
there is n loud cry being made by owners
of shining parlors, poolroomS, dry beer
parlors and athletic clubs of that dis
trict who don't wish so much police pro
lection.
Political bosses of the republican ma
chine have been seen talking TO 1.-The
powers that be" at the city hall, police
headquarters and other public places.

KNOW LOTS OF
GOLF, NO POLITICS

CHICAGO, June 10.-Full of ideas as
to golf following several days of pill
pounding at French Lick, but without
any very definite idea as to what is likely
to happen at San Francisco. the Tam
many hall leaders, Charles F. Murphy
and Gov Smith, arrived In Chicago otday,
en- route to the coast.
Murphy, as usual, would not discuss
politics.
Looks like he says a poor man can't
afford to rum" was his only comment on
the McAdoo statement.
Sounds like he meant It," was Gov.
Smiths comment.
Democrats passing through Chicago
during the day took the view that the
McAdoo statement would have the effect
of throwing the Frisco convention even
into a more open affair than ever.
1T looks like a real old fashioned dem
ocratic convention" declared Smith, and
