1EE GOODMAN ROBBED

TRUSTED COLORED PORTER CAME h. NEAR STEALING HTS STORE

frWREW GOODS OUT OF WINDOW

West Side Gallants Wearing Suits Made From Stolen Goods Were Forced to Disgorge. •.-..v f-jp ______

•&> La9t Friday night, by accident, Mr. fLee Goodman, the clothier, discovered ilhat he vae being systematically robbed 4^y Abe Lee, a colored porter and man of «U1 work, whom lie has had in his employ *,for the past three years.- It is impossible for him to give anything like a correct estimate ot his losses,, but it is ^believed that the amount will not be •*less than $300, as goods have mysteriously disappeared at intervals, for the ^Ipast three years. After the discovery

?lfras

made, the negro got wind of what iVas coming and made his escape from S£he city. In fact he was preparing to %ave when the discovery was made and /Ijad shipped his trunk to Indianapolis, jjit is believed that when the trunk is ^tound, it will be found to contain some the stolen goods. The man also suc•ffeeeded in making his escape from the

fdice.

ty before the case was reported to the ,v: It was the negro's duty to sweep out ^he stoTe after the closing hour, and as jiis employer had the most implicit con%dence in his honesty, he was left alone to complete his work at his pleasure 'and lock the doors." Although suits and ••jjUit patterns were missed at different ||imes Lee was not suspected, as there ^ras nothing in his conduct, to justify ^suspicion,.. until a few days ago, when it |fc'as learned that he had sold a suit f|attern to a tailor on North Fourth Street. It was then that a watcli of his ^movements was begun. Friday night 6ke Goodman went to the upstairs room riof the store and found the rear window ITaised. He put the window down and %ent down on the street for a short time, and when he returned to the second story, lie found the window again jUp and on looking out saw a bundle ly^ng on the ground below. He got the $mndle, and then reported the case to *^he police. Merchant Policeman Thompson and Goodman remained at the win*'do\v, in the hope that Lee would come jto the rear for the bundle, but the negro had feared his scheme had been detected and remained away. Saturday Detectives Smith and Ilvland began work on the case, and succeeded in locating several suit pattern?, which Lee had sold •Jit a, ridiculously low price. One pattern- was found in the possession of ILnkev Fogle. the bartender at the "Red '(yfibion" saloon. It had been made up and •jyas ready for wear. Another pattern '||has found in possession of "Buster Clark, another levee bartender lie had contracted for the making of a suit, but the goods had not yet been cut.

H*-1AT

NBoth

men claimed that they. were injioeent purchasers, and that Lee had told them lie had' purchased the goods, as thev .ivere odd and ends different styles of igoods. They readily surrendered the 'goods to the detectives and they arc •now 'at- the police station. They say they wil pay Sir. Goodman for the goods and* keep the pattern. Another suit pattern was fou

at Sam Sterchi pawn

shop, where Lee had sold it, and another pattern was found at a tailor shop on North Fourth street. There are several suits missing, of which the officers as yet have no trace. ithin the past few months some valuable jewels were stolen from t.he^Goodipan home and it •is reasonably certain that the negro, got *|hese also, as. he worked at the house yrhen n«\ busy at the store. Lee came to Terre Haute -about two years ago, and was numbered with the leaders of the colored "four hundred." He was a swell dresser, and cut a wide swath in colored society. The police of Indianapolis have been notified and it is thought he will be captured there tonight or tomorrow. About a year ago, lie was married to a daughter of Green Day. who ofrns a barber shop on South Third street. ..- )r.:

SOPHS ON TEAR

"PtE" FORMS OF, THL^ JUNIOR'S i'-

CLASS PAPER

TROUBLE AT HIGH SCHOOL

Class Scrap Will Likely Result From Depredations Which Were Committed Today.

The fires of class rivalry, which have been smouldering at the High school for some time, broke out again this morning when a crowd of sophomores visited the juniors printing room and "pied" a galley of type that had been set for this week's edition of the junior paper.

As luck aided the juniors the type had already been used and was standing awaiting distribution. The papers were distributed as usual today. Had the sophomores got at the type before-the paper was printed considerable damage might have been done.

The sophomores are preparing to have another skating party and it is rumored that the juniors will again attempt to haze some of the under-class men. Principal Lake is under quarantine but the authorities in charge will deal severely with anyone caught violating school rules. Another prolonged "class scrap" probably will be the outcome of the action of the sophs.

WEATHER DROVE HOBOS DOWN TO THE JA.1L

The cold weather drove the hobos under shelter .Saturday and Sunday nights and twenty were given warrants with which to arrest themselves and walk down to jail. Eight came in Saturday night and were sheltered over Sundaj'. they got three meals, were charged with three days' board and they will cost the county $13.60. Twelve were sent down last night, ate one meal and were charged with two days board each. They will cost the county $15, making just $29.20 which goes to Vigo county's underpaid sheriff. The bill for the same service at a hotel would have been about $10 less.

Pat Kelley, Harry Evans, Oren Lydick and William Reffett charged with having been drunk, all ^pleaded not guilty and their cases were continued until this evening. Lydick and Reff^gyre from Brazil and they put up a stubborn resistance when Officer CTine attempted to put them in the wagon. The officer used his club and the fight was of short duration. Pleasant Cobksev, and his sweetheart, Mollie Tuller, the colored female crap-shooter, got on a drunk and were, doing some drunk and disorderly specialties, when taken into camp by Patrolman Dorley yesterday morning. They were released on bond and when their cases were called this morning,it was found that each liad sertt up a plea' of guilty, with the amount of eash required to pay their,fine. Frank Ranzenbrantz, who was also charged with being drunk, pleaded guilty "and 'was fined $1 and costs, which he paid. A colored crook named Lucius Ellis was released on his promise to get out of the city within thirty minute? (If the twenty tramps who were given lodging and released this morning, but two of them were over 22 years of age and all were stout, healthy appearing young fellows. But all of them had hard luck stories which bring teai« to the cheeks of an Egyptian mummy. Before releasing them the judge gave, them a lecture, and told them if they came back again for lodging they would be fined for Vagrancy and put to work on

BONNIE BLAKEY DISCHARGED

No Evidence Against Colored Woman Charged With Robbing Miss Yetta Wilson.

Bonnie Biakey, who was arrested Saturday suspected of having stolen $9 from Miss Yetta Wilson, of the New National hotel, was discharged from custody this morning, no affidavit having been filed against her. At the time of the arrest the woman denied her guilt, but offered to make the loss good, if released- She made the same offer this morning, but the prosecutoi' refused to be a party to such an agreement. He said that if Sirs. Biakey didn't steal .the money, it was yot right that she should refund it. and that if she did steal it. she should be prosecuted, as the state could not compromise a felony. The prosecutor then investigated the testimony, and decided that it- was not sufficient to warrant the filing of a complaint and the woman was discharged. While the case was being investigated the colored woman became hysterical and for a time was prostrated. Her condition frightened the officials and they were just starting to call a physician when she recovered to some extent and after being worked with for a while was able to walk home. This took placo while police court was in ses« sion and caused a stampede from the court room to the private office of the chief, where it was jthoughfc ,the woman was dying.

There is a persistent rumor among union men of the city

!that

Mr. Demas Defil

ing is planning to offer the CentraLlAbor union the plot of ground on Ohio street which he"recently tendered to the Emaline Fairbanks library committee in case the library committee refuses to accept his generosity.

Mr. Iteming has left the city for a month's trip through' the South and it was impossible to get any verification to the rumor. However a man closely associated with the banker stated that he had never heard Mr. Deming speak" of such a gift and that he hardly thought it probable that any offer had beer or would be madei

If the property should fall into the hands of the C. L. U. a handsome labor temple such as have been erected in m6st large cities would be erected on Ohio street. The union men say they would be willing to spend any reasonable amount money toward building a handsome'ediface that would last for ar age.

Six New Cases of 8m*ll Pox Found in Various Parttf vf 'the

city:

The order of the board of health- that all pupils in the 'Terre 'Haute- putHiti schools who have not beenJ successfully vaccinated during the past three years be excluded from their rooliiS1 until they are vaccinated aiid the vacCittatiort has

The order of the physicians' htls been misunderstood in several instances and this has caused considerable annoyance to the board and superintendent of Schools. The order is that all children not successfully vaccinated since 1899 must leave school and not return until they have sore arms. Those who' were vaccinated before 1899 must be re-inocu-lated unless they can produce satisfactory certificates of seriously sore arms. Certificates of vaccination aldtie will not be accepted. The vaccination must "take" and teacherS are to examine the arms of any and all students where there is the least possible doubt.

In accordance with further orders of the board a record of all students is to be Held at the office of the schools. The record will be a permanent one to trhich the physicians, or school authorities may refer at any time. Teachers iri the schools' must comply tvith the order ad well as students.

Complaint was made to'the board of health yesterday-that smallpox was being hidden at St. Anthony's hospital but the report was utterly groundless. Dr. S. M. Rice, secretary of the board of health who is a staff physician at the hospital says that every effort has been made to keep smallpox out of the institution and that none ever' has been found there..

The free vaccination station was not closed last night, as a morning paper stated. It has been open toda£ ftnd the patronage has been liberal, although "not great, several more quarantine flags] have been stolen and the board of health is endeavoring tb jfiiu! the" thieves. Anyone caught will be {)rp"secuted to the extent of the law.

Some Resent Order.

The following letter addressed to teachers with certificates attached and signed by the parents, is being sent with' some of the children pi?dere4 to leave school for non-compliance with the order: of the board of health upon tbe subject of vaccination, and it is understood that those who are sending their children into the schools, with these letters intend to enforce the statute .forbidding the exclusion of children from the schools who are in good health and mental condition:

INVENTION FOR TELEGRAPHISTS

But' It Makes Jndividuaiity of To.ufh Impossible and Ijs Not Liked.,,.^.,, Ihere is a chance for a^:psychologist to ,get good OiateriftJoin'. studying.- the effects of a new device !that has-come into some favor wTMt .the telegraph operators o£ the countnyt it threatens all kinds of disruptions amohg the friends who have been-accustOined—to saying "Hello, Tom," aertflsE h^reds bf "miles of laiid to men wKoiri, they have never seen, but whom they know as well as though they had been chum* in persons for years. The old telegraph operator will tell you he can read character over the wirte that,, he3 cantell whether a man is a '"good fellow" .whom he would trust or a deceitful one whom he would avoid.

The invention is-a, sender which takes away the labor and strain on the wrist that sometimes brings "operators' paralysis." It is adjusted so that when the thumb presses the key back it will register a dash, and when the index finger passes it forward it will make dots until the key is released.

One operator "who Works in a newspaper office and nightly sends thousands of words over wires which take the news out of New York, bought one of these senders recently. He did not think of the personality in his touch, but only of the saving of labor.

The first night he coupled it up on his wire and set* it going at his usual speed. Soon the receiving operator broke in and asked for a few words to be repeated. So it continued for half an hour, the receiver constantly breaking in. Fnally there came a sharp break in the middle of a word. "Who in mischief is sending this stuff?' came, a message clicked as angply as a telegraph wire could carry it. "Tom," was the reply. "Well, vJukMi* a is the matter?" came' the anxious query.

He was told abotli the new sender. He agreed to do the best he could with it. At the end of the week his ultimatum came. That key must be abandoned or he would give up' his place. "I've heard something aboyt that device of Satan," he sent word. "There's a man up in Massachusetts who went crazy trying 'to get next.' He said he. felt like a machine, and that's the way I feel. It's off with that key or me to the woods.w

So science has had a setback so far as the use of the new device in one office is concerned. li is'only used occasionally when the operator's wrist is tired. ri-.. •r—r rr- .. i*.: '.
