occupied with his books and duties in the controller's office. "I su/ppose I am what you would call the mayor," said Mr. Talbott, "but it really doesn't feel any different being mayor than it does as city controller. The only people who have taken any cognizance of the fact that I am what is called mayor are the newspaper men and I have had the same story to tell all of them—I haven't transacted any business and in fact, hardly think there will be much for me to do. I have my hands full In my own office now and haven't much time to think of what, quality of mayor I make."
Mr. Talbott, In speakiijg of the financial condition of the city, said there are a few bonds which must be paid off within a short time and he added emphatically that there was plenty of money with which to pay the debts.

IRISH VOLUNTEERS' ARMS.
Right to Carry Them a Matter of Municipal Regulation. WASHINGTON, Dec. 2C.—Officials of the state department were asked today "why Irish volunteers are permitted to carry arms in America," their attention having been called to the incident at an Irish and GermanAmerican meeting in New York last night, when a first lieutenant of the Irish volunteers used a sword to jab a reporter who did not rise when the "Wacbt am Rihine" was played.
The officials refused to discuss the matter for publication, but did say that the carrying of such weapons was a matter of municipal regulation, but if organizations were formed, drilled and armed in this country for the purpose of leaving the country for any one of the belligerents, such a matter would assume a different aspect under the president's neutrality proclamation.

the sheriff, "and we had plenty of food for everyone." In the morning Roberts, as well as the other prisoners, attended religious services in the jail corridor. The Terre Haute politicions must be fairly good singers, for an attache of the jail said "the singing was better than usual." All of the men were in a good humor.
Mrs. Roberts arrived at the jail a few minutes after 5 o'clock last evening. Sheriff Portteus had received orders from Marshal Storen to permit her to see her husband. Roberts was brought down from his cell and taken to the jail office.
Mrs. Roberts talked with jail attaches freely. Sheriff Portteus was conferring over the telephone with federal authorities, trying to verify the name of one of the men confined in the jail. Mrs. Roberts offered to give the sheriff the information he wanted after the telephone conversation had been concluded. "I know of that man," Mrs. Roberts said. "He is an Italian."
No Desire to Sea Jail.
Mrs. Roberts declined an invitation to step into the jail corridor to inspect one of the cells, when an attache of the jail offered to show her what the Interior of the jail looks like. She shuddered only perceptibly when she declined, saying: "No, thank you. I never go into the jail at home, although I have been in the office there several times."
Few Given Access to J»il. Marshal Storen received several requests for permits to Bee some of the imprisoned men, but only a few per sons were given access to the jail. Many other persons and a few friends of the prisoners asked permission to see prisoners at jail, but Sheriff Portteufl refused these requests until a permit had been given by Marshal Storen.
Interest in the case yesterday centered around Roberts and many wild rumors traveled the streets as to why he was not released on bond. It was the common belief that Roberts had some motive for going to Jail. All of the authorities who have come In close touch with the case predict that the Terre Haute mayor will be released today.
With Mayor Roberts detained in Indianapolis, the duties of the mayor of Terre Haute will be assumed by E. E. Talbott, city controller. It is said that nothing of sufficient importance to require the attention of the mayor is pending.
Men and women in all walks of life were discussing the wholesale arrests today, although many of them are not expressing their opinions as to the guilt or innocence of th», accused. The wide publicity given to affairs in Terre Haute the last few months has resulted in interest being taken in local affairs by those who before observed happenings only in a passive way.
INDUCES MAYOR TO SIGN.
Mrs. Roberts Said to Have Persuaded Him to Give Bond. Mrs. Donn M. Roberts, wife Of the mayor, and Edward Driscoll, secretary of the democratic county committee and an employe of the city engineer's office, -who was released on bond Saturday, visited Mayor Roberts at the Marion county jail and after much persuasion induced the mayor to sdgn a blank bond in the effort to secure his release. Mrs. Roberts did not return to the city with Driscoll, who came home on one of the night trains, and it is said the mayor's release on $10,000 bond will be effected some time Monday. Driscoll said that when they first visited the mayor the latter refused to entertain the proposition to give bond but through the united efforts of the two he finally agreed to sign the bond that they might secure the sureties necessary to secure his freedom. Driscoll said that W. J. Rink, who conducts a large retail dry goods business in Indianapolis, visited the jail and offered to sign the mayor's bond and during the day he had telephone calls from numerous Indianapolis friends who were anxious to qualify to go on his bond and secure his release. Under the government rules nothing of its kind can be done on Sunday and for that reason Mrs. Roberts remained in Indianapolis.
Numerous stories are extant regarding certain puiblic officials and other citizens who are supposed to have been indicted but who were not arrested Saturday. One of these stories is that the marshals had a warrant for the ari*est of Hilton U. Redman, only son of Judge Redman, and that he had left the city and attempted to escape and had been apprehended at Flint, Mich., on a telegram from Marshal Storen, but the latter when questioned regarding the matter by a Tribune representative at Indianapolis late Saturday night said there was nothing the report.
As a matter of fact, Hilton Redman was out of the city Saturday on legal business, and his father got into communication with him and advised him to return home, which he did Sunday afternoon. He was seen on the streets Sunday afternoon, thus disproving the stories that he bad attempted to escape, if there was a warrant out for his arrest, which could not be ascertained from the government officials Saturday, they refusing to announce any of the names of those indicted and for whom warrants were issiied until they were placed under arrest and had been presented to the marshal at the Hotel Deming.
No Arrests Today.
Many rumors prevailed on the streets and around the hotel offices Sunday and were still current Monday morning that the marshals would return to the city on that date and finish up the arrests that were r-ot made Saturday, the report being t'.iat thirty-six who had been indicted were still to be arrested. The telephones at the Hotel Deming were kept busy Sunday evening and Monday morning answering inquiries as to whether or not tlie marshals were in the city, but at 11 o'clock Monday m~-ning they had not appeared, and^JJJjtfk "Billy" Collins, who was on said that no res-

Mr. Dailey said: "The 'strong* work among the republicans has been as bad as that among the democrats, not only in this particular case but in others." He also pointed out that several memfbers of the progressive party are among the defendants named in the indictment.
PING PONG ARMY NOT WANTED.
N. Y. National Guardsmen Hereafter to Get Real Workouts. NEW YORK, Dec.. 28.—The days of "ping pong" soldiers in this state are numbered, said Major-General John O'Ryan, commander of the New York state national guard, in a statement today, explaining the recent order disbanding the Twenty-second regiment and its formation into battalions of engineers.
The hardwood floor of the regiment's armory in this city is to be torn up, he said, so that the members of the new battalions can have practical experience in engineering work, such as digging trenches. "If we advertised for 'ping pong' soldiers and offered them dances," continued the major-general, "we could get all we wanted. But what he want in the national guard are strong athletic men who delight in camping and roughing it."

There was a good deal of talk am tot how this new line of administration of/ federal justice will affect the south, where, it is said, the negro frequently Is denied the right to vote for candidates for congress, presumably will hereafter find it difficult to vote lor candidates for United States senator. Some of the southern congressmen plainly were apprehensive of the effect of the precedent that is being created In Indiana.
Others said that the precedent not as disturbing as it seems on iRrst blush, as in most of the southern states the negro has been legally disfranchised under "grandaddy clauses," educational tests and other devices which have been upheld by the United States supreme court.
