Men Accused in Terre Haute
Booze Burglary Held in
Charleston, Ill.

Warrants for the removal 70 Indian
Of John f. Kelley, Edward Cahin and Ell
rner Mcdaniel. ell Of Peoria, ILL.,, and
who are now under arrest at Charleston,
H.. charged with transporting liquor
and breaking the seal and lock Of Gov
ernment warehouse, have been issued by
Howard S. Young, United States com
missioner, at the request Of Frederick
Van Nuys, United States district attor-
ney.
The men are wanted here in connection
with the theft, Aug. q. of ten barrels Of
whisky from the Commercial Distilling
Company Of Terre Haute. They were ar
rested several days ago at Charleston,
where they are being held in default Of
bonds Of $500 each.
Mr. Van Nuys has been conducting an
inviesti ga ton from this end of the line
and says he intends to go into the matter
thoroughly.
When news Of the arrests was received
here Mr.. Van Nuys took the matter up
with Bert Morgan, prohibition officer for
Indiana, to see If ALr. Morgan could have
the men brought to indianapolis. How
ever. as Mr. Morgan has no powers be-
yond the borders Of Indiana, It was de
cided to have warrants issued by Unit
ed States commissioner.
Immediately after the robbery news
dispatches from Terre Haute said Orville
Duncan, 2l3 North Oriental street, In
dianapolis, who had just taken the posi-
tion Of Federal guard at the warehouse.
was suspected of being connected with
the robbery. The day. following, how
ever, NJ Bert Thurman, collector of in
ternal revenue, gave out statement ex-
onerating Duncan of blame. He said
Duncan had gone off duty at midnight
and that the robbery occurred after that
hour.
Prohibition Director Morgan yesterday
received a letter of resignation from
Duncan. In the letter Duncan gave as
his reason for Iesigning dissatisfaction
with conditions at the distillery and the
fact that the salaries of warehouse guards
have been cut $500 annually. Mr.. Nor
gan turned the letter over to Collector
Thurman as the Department of Internal
Revenue recently ruled that distillery
warehouse guards were under the super
vision of the collector, and not of the
prohibition enforcement department. NJ.
Thurman said the resignation would be
accepted.

CITY AID NOT
IN
FAIR CLEANUP
State Board Required
to Do Sanitary
Work Alone.
INSPECTION MADE
Health Officer Re-
ported Filth Re-
mOved--It Wasn't.

A time-honored edstom under
which the State board of agriculture
always has cleaned up the Indiana
State Playground after a fair with the
city board of health and the board of
sanitary commissioners giving the
situation little or no attention will
not be in vogue next year, If the
wishes of I. Newt Brown, secretary
of the State board of agriculture, are
followed out.
Mr.. Brown admitted yesterday that
the large amount of garbage and
refuse allowed to remain on the
grounds in the wake of the fair
which closed last Saturday night pre-
sented an intolerable condition TO
residents of the north side, and as
serted that next year steps would be
taken to see that breeding place for
flies Is not maintained for practically
week after the fair closes.
We always nave taken care or II our-
selves" said Mr.. Brown IN explanation
of why the State board had attempted to
clean up the premises without calling on
the sanitary board for help. Every hing
was disinfected and we worked as rapid
ly as possible, taking every sanitary pre-
caution. That job can't be done In
day, but 1t should be cleaned up as quick
ly as possible"
MIGHT HAVE ASKED
AID FROM CITY.
Mr. Brown admitted, IN continuing his
explanation, that more men might have
been placed Mt work and declared there
was no reason why the state board should
not have called upon the sanitary board
Of indianapolis to assist.
I'VE never wers offered any help by the
city and we dill not ask for any," he
said. II have no doubt that II the two
boards had coorerated the debris Co1ld
have been taken care of much sooner
than 1t has. I feel that next year there
should not be so many concessions
granted and am snre that whom the next
fsir comes we win have much better
plans for taking care of the aftermath
of the event"

5000 TO 10000 NOW
JOBLEss IN CITY.
Andrew J. Allen, secretary o. the
estimates there are 5000 to
10000 persons out of employment In In
dianapolis This is compared with an
estimated unemployment Of 25.0t0 per
sons on the part Of an employe Of the
Federal and State employment services.
This latter estimate has been q1es-
toned and employment officials do not
appear to be inclined to vouch for II.
Mr. Allen pointed out that there is
considerable difference in methods OF
estimating unemployment. He points
out that during the war a large num-
Ter of persons were employed who
never had been employed before and do
not expect to be employed again He
points ont also that there is tendency
70 consider persons employed part Of
the time q S unemployed He said neither
Of these methods are reliable
It also was pointed out that there are
number of persons who are refusing
employment because OF reduced wages
He declared the number Of persons who
are holding out for fancy wages Is
large.
ANOTHER FABLACT
Is POINTED OUT.
Another Tallacy pointed cut uy M
Allen which he says is responsible for
exaggerated statements Of unemployment

laid off by industries to the number OF
unemployed while, as a matter OF fact,
most Of these persons find employment
III other places.
He pointed out, further. that if there
is as extensive a condition OF unem-
ployment as has been estimated in some
instances there would be far larger num-
Der Of applicants at employment bureaus.
He added that in 1915 when the peak OF
unemployment was reached and when
soup houses were established in In
dianapolis the estimate OF unemployment
s.did not reach 5000.
