HE MADE A SPEECH (Continued from page 1.) senate in dealing with the tariff emphasizes the fact that we have too many millionaires In that body, and that a few high priced funerals would be a good thing for the country. Mr. Speaker, I hope the day will soon come when the United States senace will be composed of men who represent more patriotism and less plutocracy; men who love their country more than their money." Mr. Adair said that ‘‘when that body is so made up, such tariff bills as the one we are now considering will never emanate from that end of the capitol.” ’n closing he said: “Mr. Speaker, the bill as it comes to us from the senate will bear heavily on practically all the people, and especially those who work for wages. Senator LaFollette has shown that on clothing alone the people will be. robbed ot $120,000,000, and this is but one of a

Beveridge was attended by a great crowd of cheering I people. Senator Beveridge, after a Sunday's rest from his work in the national congress, was never in better form for speechmaking. His ringing sentences on the tariff question were received with enthusiasm. It was a big audience and one that believed in Senator Beveridge. The reception was given by the Taft Republican club of which Winfield Miller is president. Mr. Miller presided as chairman While the audience gathered the Indianapolis Military Band played inspirin gmusic. When tne senator arrived the hand was in the midst of the national air, ‘ The Star Spangled Banner.” Senator Beveridge perhaps never received a more enthusiastic reception. He was escorted from his office in the Newton Claypool building by Frauk D. Stalnaker, Walton L. Dynes and Winfield Miller, president of the Taft Republican Club. When Senator Beveridge stepped on the stage he was greeted, in addition to the cheers from the audience, by some of the best known Republicans of Indianapolis. Among those who sat on the stage were Judge Vinson Carter, W. N. Harding, W. C. Bobbs, Charles W. Miller, Charles E. Coffin, Larz Whitcomb, John N. Carey, William H. Armstrong, Dr. J. H. Taylor, John Ostermeyer, Jefferson Claypool and a number of other men who are well known in state and national politics.

BUT SIXTY DOLLARS Only Borrowed from the Bank Caused the Final Downfall of Detzer STOLE A FORTUNE Amounting to Nearly Eight Thousand Dollars—Will Pay it Back The taking of sixty dollars of the bank's funds one day something like three years ago was the first step in the peculations of Edward N. Detzer, paying teller of the First National bank, whose shortage had reached a total of $7,800 before discovery a few days ago drove him to confession and was followed by the arrest of the trusted bank employe. This much was disclosed by Detzer to W. D Frazer, the national bank examiner, in the course of the investigation which followed the startling disclosure of Detzer's embezzlement. The original S6O taken was to have been but a temporary loan, explained the disgraced teller. He needed the amount to pay some current bills, and fully expected to reimburse the bank from his next salary envelope. When pay day arrived, however, there were further demands upon his cash, and the repayment was deferred to a more corrfenient time. From this time forward, the way was easier. The discrepancy was apparently safely hid- , den in the maze of accounts of the big bank, and Detzer admitted that at frequent intervals thereafter he appropriated additional sums, but it Is evident that he must have kept an accurate account of his peculations in order that the books might be kept at an apparent balance. Bank officials believe the entire $7,800 was taken in comparatively small sums. Before leaving for Chicago Saturday, Detzer called up one of the officials of the First National bank by telephone and told him that he was going to Chicago, where his brother had secured him a position that will keep him employed until the federal court requires his presence in November. ‘‘Then I’m going to come back,'' declared Mr. Detzer, "take my punishment like a man and start life anew in the effort to repay every cent of my shortage. It will probably take some years to do it, but I am determined to show the world that I can be a man and live down the stain of my past." He also said that every possible cent of his earnings from now until November would be turned over to his wife and son to help them in the way of support while he is serving the term in Fort Leavenworth prison which both he and his friends regard as inevitable. There are those who believe, also, that the court will hardly regard the minimum sentence of five years as sufficient in the case. M. S. Mahurin attached his signature as an additional surety on the $5,000 bond given by Detzer for his appearance before he was permitted to go to Chicago — Fort Wayne Sentinel.
