Hidden Ghost Number
Trips Up Auto ThieUes
MattiCe Reveals Secret in
Preparing to Prosecute
Alleged Bandit.
BY SHELDON KEY

Every car thier sooner or later
meets his ghost number which
turks some place on tvery automo-
bile!"
This was the assertion today Of
Floyd Mattice, chief deputy prosecu-
tor of Marion county. as he began
preparation of the states case
against William Parham, 81, of
80415 South Senate avenue.
Parham has admitted he has
stolen $50 automobiles, using them
in at least thirty-1ve or forty hold
ups in indianapolis.
Police do not identify stolen auto
mobiles by their engine numbers as
most car owners believe. Such num-
bers are too easily erased and
changed by the willy thief versed in
little mechanics.
What all car thieves fear Is a
hidden number secretly covered by
paint and located on the frame or
some other part of the automobile.
only the manufacturer knows
where this number is located and
will give police this information up
on request" Mattice, who former
ly trailed car thieves for the federal
government, explained.
The professional car thief who en-
cages in the business for profit by
selling the automobiles is passing
from the stage, Mattice observes.
Low prices for second hand auto
mobiles and the secret number sys-
TEN have about made the car steal
ing business Improbable" he ex-
planned.
Police records disclose that it is
the "joyriding" bandit who steals
the automobiles nowadays. In most
instances automobiles are stolen for
use in holdups.
Heavy penalties, as high as fifteen
to twenty-five years, for such viola
ton known as auto banditry, has
reduced appreciably the number OF
youthful car thieves in Marion coun-
ty the past year, police report.

BY BEN STERN

NECESSITY for placing safe
IN guards around expenditure OF
the Governors emergency contln-
gent fund will be pressed upon the
next legislature, leaders Of both
parties are now promising.
Public attention again has been
directed at the manner in which
this fund is being conducted by the
$4,000 contract for cleaning the
statehouse, which was awarded
without advertising for bids.
The contract bids fair to be a
campaign issue in 1882 because Of
Governor Harry G. Leslie's answer
to critics that 81 don't need to adj
vertise for bids for work paid out
of my emergency fund. That is my
money and I can spend it as I see
fit"
Although it is quite true that this
100000 annual emergency is placed
in the custody of the Governor to
be spent at his discretion, that
does not change the fact that this
money is raised by taxation, it is
pointed out.
Once before Leslie invited criti-
cism for his expenditures from this
appropriation, and that was when
though receiving $4,000 year for
the maintenance Of his mansion, he
spent $4,000 emergency fund money
to furnish his home.
The Democrats in their 1880 plat
form promised that proper safe
guards would be placed around this
fund if elected to control of the
legislature.
Yet when the appropriation bill
came up for consideration in the
house these same Democrats fought
tooth and nail to keep intact all of
the appropriations and funds in
trusted to the Governor.
Not all Of the Democrats, how
ever. Representative Earl Craw-
ford and several members of the
Marion county delegation fought
day in, day out, to reduce the emer-
gency fund to 100000 from 100000.
But those other Democratic leg
islators, intent on log-rolling
through their pet measures, paid lit
tie heed to the public demand.
Probably no Governor stood In
greater danger from legislature
than did Leslie when it convened
last January. The Republican ma
jority in the senate contained many
members who were decidedly I'M
friendly while the Democratic house
was said to be extremely inimical.
Leslie got out of the session with
out even scare from the legisla-
tors.
Now comes this expenditure of
$4,000.
The Chamber of Commerce bud
get committee would have the free
Kindergarten and night schools
abolished and teachers salaries cut
to reduce the tax rate while the
statehouse is being cleaned at
price which other contractors de-
clare is at least $4,000 too high.
Who was it made that crack about
tax relief?

MIRACLE AGAIN
DRAWS THRONG;
YOUTH STABBED
Argument Is Believed to
Have Caused Knitting
at Chicago.

By United PTess
CHICAGO, July S-Thousands
Of persons hocked today to build
ing on the southwest side where a
mysterious image of woman and
child we're said to have appeared
family outlined again upon wall,
and this without an explanation.
Residents of the neighborhood
said the image appeared again Fri
day night and that it was not q
shadow cast from lace curtain in
the apartment Of Sam Genna, a
gangster.
Much excitement was caused early
this week when the miracle" ap-
peared for several nights. A group
Of newspaper men broke up the
gathering by pulling down a shade
in Gennas window and causing the
miracle" to disappear.
When the figure reappeared Fri
day night, more than 1000 persons
gathered. A covering was placed
over the Genna window across the
street, but believers in the miracle
declared the figure still was there.
Others declared the light upon
the wall was not an outline. Argu-
ments developed. During the melee
that followed, Rego Ciorlieri, II, was
stabbed by an unidentified Negro
who escaped. Physicians said
Ciorlieri probably will die.

FARM STATES
BAND TO FIGHT
FREIGHT HIKES
Western Groups Are Joined
in Revolt Against
Rate Increases.
BY H. o. THOMPSON
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, July 18.-West-
ern agricultural states are joining
in a revolt against the proposed in
creases in railroad freight rates.
The rebellion has spread south
ward from North Dakota until it
seems likely to envelop the whole
of the plains country west Of the
Mississippi. 1t is being organized by
Ben G. Larkin, president Of the
board of railroad commissioners Of
North Dakota, and his younger as
sociate, E. M. Hendricks, the boards
traffic expert.
Kansas and Arkansas have joined
the movement and Hendricks said
today Minnesota was about to come
into the fight.
Larkin and Hendricks are at
tending the hearings being held
by the interstate commerce commits
sion on the railroads side Of the
case, making themselves familiar
with arguments they later will at
tempt to refute.
I'VE will show" Hendricks said,
chat the railroads are operated
wastefully, that they engage in a lot
of folderol, instead of giving the
service the public wants. They
don't need more money. Anything
they get by raising rates will come
out of the farmer, who now has all
he can do to keep body and soul
together"
w. R. Cole, president of the
Louisville & Nashville railroad, rep
resenting southern carriers, was a
witness most of Friday before the
commission. He apparently antici-
pated some of the agricultural COM
plants, for he denounced people
who stand around and say all the
troubles of the farmers are due to
fine railroads "
