IntoxiCation.

While Deputy United States Mar
shal S. T. Hickman of Indianapolis
was arraigned at Brazil, Ind, today

car from side to side of the road
They said they found a pint bottle,
half filled with alcohol, in the car.
Hickman insisted, according to
dispatches. that the alcohol was for
external use and he was not in
toxicated. The officers insisted he
was drunk.
Mood Jones of Terre Haute, a
friend of Hickman, got the Brazil
police chief out of bed at l this

Jones to get out of town and at
tend to his business or he would get

Plan Expected to Go
Into Effect.
THREAT BY SHERIFF
1'II Lock Up the Whole
Bunch, Rabbit and ALL
Says WinkIer.

An attempt to start the invest
ment brokerage" system of betting
on dog races will be made at the
new track of the Indianapolis Ken
mel Club, Ltd, on AllisonvilIe road
a mile north of city limits tonight,
it appeared certain this afternoon.
Sheriff George Winkler and a
large force of deputies were ready
to carry out the sheriff's threat
made to an emissary OF the kennel
club IF you start the envelope sys-
tenn of betting or any other form of
gambling I'll lock up the whole
bunch, rabbit and all"
Godfrey Yeager, secretary and at
torney of the club, announced that
promoters are having a conference
late this afternoon to clear up legal
details which it is believed will block
the sheriff's attempt to stop the in
vestrnent brokerage or envelope"
system.
Yeager said the final decision as
to whether or not the attempt to
operate the envelope windows, under
the grandstand, which have been
dark since the track was opened
last Saturday night, would be made
at this afternoons meeting.
However, it was learned that sew
eral men to operate the invest
ment" windows have been employed,
perhaps as many as a dozen.
Under the envelope system the
bettor does not wager the dog will
win, but buys an interest" in the
dog for the period of the race, and
if the dog wins he receives a share of
the purse. The purse consists Of the
total of the money invested" in all
the dogs in the race. Investments
may range from 50 up.
