NO ROOM FOR THE "KNocKER''
indianapolis Newspaper Tells Few
Plain Truths, Straight Out From
the Shoulder.

Indianapolis is fortunate in the quail
ity of its citizenship. We are the most
American of the great centers in the
United States. We have few of the
problems brought to other municipali-
ties by alien elements. The city showed
front-rank progress in the recent CEN
sus report. 1t is leading in building
construction and industrial progress. 1t
Is not perfection, but is much nearer
to that goal than most cities and
should not be libeled and slandered
even by a few lightweights of little or
no influence.
The residents of indianapolis know
the truth and are not deceived by the
clty's traducers, but the effect on
strangers may be serious and in any
case cannot be Of advantage to any
one. Those whose stock in trade is de-
Struction instead of construction,
hurtfulness instead Of helpfulness, are
pests who should be made aware of
that fact by the loyal, public-spirited
citizen. They may have to be endured,
but it should be in the contempt they
deserve and that will ignore them to
the point of Observation-Disclosures

HIS "HuAcH" WAS CORRECT
Actors Assertion That Someone in the

Proved True.

A peculiar incident happened in a
local theater. which provided enough
comedy to make the performance very
amusing. In one of the acts, prohibi.

Of those fellows who makes reference
to the audience.
"Where is that bottle?" he shouted
at the audience. Someone in the
house has bottle, with the cork off, .
Hardly had the laughter subsidized
when there was 'plunk," as a bottle
dropped accidentally from the grasp
of someone down in front. 1t happened
just at the opportune moment and the
house went into roars of laughter.
Whoever dropped it mdde no attempt
to reclaim 1t, even though the bottle
might have contained anything from
milk to medicine. But the Nj. A. r.
has been told by someone who was
close to the sound that some time after
he saw woman slowly making an at
tempt to reach for the fallen wet

Chadwick, were sentenced to the house
of correction for not less than two
years nor more than four, on a charge
of attempting to break Jail
States Attorney Thomas. in stat

Collins did not have a very bad career,
but that Chadwick had been penalized
eight times since 1888, and the attor-
ney then gave the story of the at
tempted break.
J. Ward Carver of Barre appeared
for the respondents, who pleaded guilty
and did not deny that they attempt
ed to break Jail They claimed they
were urged on by man named West,
who was serving time for white slav-
cry and that West approached the two
with an offer to get them saws and aid
them to escape if they would come
across with $50. The states attorney
claimed that the approaching was done
by the two men and not by West, a
man who is considered more or less as
'ftrusty."
