'THREE-SHELL" ROUSE TURNS HIS LAST TRICK

Negro Politician Serving Sentence in Marion County Dies in Hospital There.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 26.—George ("Three Shell") Rouse, colored, who pleaded guilty in the Terre Haute election fraud case and was removed from the Marion county Jail, where he was serving a prison sentence, to the City hospital last week, died in the hospital early today. He was a victim of heart disease.

Rouse was a Terre Haute negro politician. His affiliations were never permanent. He gained the name of "Three Shell" from his Inclination towards the shells and the peas whereever tl^ere was a large gathering, coun ty fairs being his chief interest. One of his exploits nearly got him mobbed at the county fair here several years ago.

Rouse was a barbecue expert and was known to such affairs all over the state. His latest consideration from the law was earned by his having something to do with false registrations of colored voters.

He was employed at the Chicago convention in 1912 by the national re publican committee to "line up" the southern delegates for Taft. His work was called to the attention of Roosevelt and the colonel publicly denounced "Three Shell."

Rouse was born in what is known as Pearl alley and made Terre Haute his home the greater part of his life, when not in the reform school or prison. Both of his parents are dead and fric-nds say that as far as is known no lelatives are living. He was about 54 years old.
