Basketball Bribery
Is Feared In Games
By Indiana Officers

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 4.-(P-.
How far if at all, bribery and game
"sloughing" have crept into basket
ball Indianas major sport, was en-
gaging the attention of Hoosier col
lege and university authorities today.
The suspicion of scandal had it's IN
ception last Monday night when a
Wabash player informed Coach Rob
ert e. Vaughan that he had been
approached by a Charlottesville gam
bier to .'lay down. in the game with
Franklin college. Wabash won, Al
to SO, one of the biggest upsets of
the season.
A grand jury investigation "of the
whole affair" was urged today by
P. L. Powell. acting president OF
Franklin, in a letter to L. M Hop
kins, president OF Wabash. Powell
said there had been vague rumors
afloat from time to time that attn
lctic games have been bought.
These rumors, he said, have put all
college athletics under suspicion.

State Troopers Face
Serious Charges Iii
N. ]. Woman S Death

TRENTON, ~ j., Feb. A (P)-Spec-
ification of charges against three
state troopers connected with the
siege at the Jutland farm of James
and Timothy Meaney of Deember 81,
last, which resulted in their sus-
pension were made public today by
Colonel H. Norman Schwarzkopf,
commanding officer of the state po-
lice. The three men are Lieutenant
Daniel f. Rogers, Corporal Matthew
A. Daley and Trooper Alfred x.
Larson. Lieutenant Rogers is ac-
cused of ordering Corporal Daily and
Trooper Charles Schwartz to riddle
q state owned car with shot from a
gun confiscated from the Meaneys
j, to substantate alleged misstate-
ments in report by Rogers to
Colonel Schwarzkopf that the car was
fired on by the Meaneys.
1t is also charged that Rogers or
dered Trooper Schwartz to fire a
number of rounds from the same gun
in order to obtain the empty shells
and place them in evidence as having
been found in the Meaney home,
bearing out the contention that sew
eral shots were fired at the troopers.
Both orders are said to have been
ISSUED by Rogers on January /. Daily
was accused at the time of his sus-
pesion of failing to account for sew
eral articles taken from Timothy
Meaney and entrusted to his care as
evidence. The specifications charge
that on January 10 he obtained a
tobacco pouch and attempted to sub
stitute it as the one which Sergeant
Cunningham said had been turned
over to Daily along with other articles
that were seized. Larson is specfi-
cally charged with firing without
sufficient provocation James
Meaney, and wounding him, failure
to render first aid after the assault
and neglected to make an effort to
Identify the man he had wounded,
and to arrest him.
The battle from which the scandal
grows, followed upon the calling of
the state police to the Meaney farm,
when it was reported by agents of
the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals, that Timothy had
resisted arrest on warrant charg
ing cruelty to livestock

the McCtinns store contained large
amount of the supposedly stolen goods,
according to the officers, and Deputy
Ash said last night that he did not
think the work of recovering the
property had hardly started, as he ex-
pected to find more caches.
While no definite statement could be
obtained from County Attorney Gentry
late last night, he stated to Dispatch
representatives that he expected fur
ther developments in the case today
and probably some very startling ones.
Officers point out that McGlnnls
claims to have purchased a car from
man who, so far as he knows, did not
know the trio of bandits who camped
nthe old Stidham ranch. The officers
are of the opinion that this man was a
fourth member of the party. They
point out further that the man IN
whom they are at present chiefly IN
terested is the man who has been IN
charge of the caches of stolen goods.
They expect to arrest this man tooay,
and a watch is being kept over Ger
tain suspects in the Kelton district.
That system, possibly in operation
for years, is being unearthed, officers
are certain. They point out that the
stolen goods have apparently piled up
on the thieves and this indicates that
there has been weakening of their
"fence" of disposal forces for some
reason. The fence" the name given
for a person or persons engaged in
disposing of stolen property, is the
key man or men in the present case.
Robberies which the officers stated
last night they felt certain they could
connect with goods they have recov-
cred are the Bankhead garage robbery
at Rodeo, N. NJ, the robbery OF the
w e. Platt drug store in Thatcher on
December 19; the robbery of the Solo
mon and Wickersham firm in Stafford
on January Z, and the robbery of the
d. D. Phillips store OF Thatcher on
January IS.
The officers compared lists last nlght
of goods stolen in these robberies with
lists of goods they have recovered, ana
found that many items tailed exactly
as to quantity. In the Thatcher drug
store robbery, the officers pointed out,
they have recovered flashlights, pens,
watches, pencils, cigars and tobacco
in almost the same amounts as listed
as stolen
The large amounts of chewing to-
bacco recovered has been commented
on by the officers. They state that
enough chewing tobacco has been re-
covered to stock half the stores Of
Douglas. In the Phillips store robbery
in Thatcher shoes were the principal
thing taken. A great number of shoes
have been recovered in the different
caches unearthed yesterday at Kelton.

from his headquarters in the Phil

ploits of Col. Theodore Roosevelt and
his men, soon to have it's premier in

In a letter to Col Fred Lindsay

Gen. Wood states:
From all accounts, / think l am
fortunate in having so good-looking
and soldierly a type represent me as
colonel of the Rough Riders. I have
heard from the McCoyS and also from
Herndon Hagedorny and they are all
interested in the outcome of the pic
ture. hope it is going to be sue
cess. I am sorry / was not in the
States, as / could have given a thou
sand and one details which would
have helped in completing the picture,
but am confident that those who were
there have done their best to give a
true representation Of the regiment"
Heading the cast is Frank Hopper
a Los Angeles book agent, who is said
to bear an astounding resemblance to
the Roosevelt of 1898.
