Deeply. Entrenched Methods of Fraud May Be Routed by Use of Government Officers. There is consternation at Terre Haute. '■ ' _ „ 5...-■ • The city is dominated by Donn Roberts, and Crawford Fairbanks, the 'brewer. Corruption reigns and decency has no chance. That is, it has had no chance so far, owing to the deeply entrenched positions the “gang” have occupied, controlling th courts and ruling elections 'by the most debauched methods. The federal authorities, however, have taken a hand. Eighteen men were arrested at Terre Haute Wednesday and taken- to Indianapolis on warrants issued by Charles W. Moores, federal commissioner. The men were sent to jail pending arrangement for bond. The men are charged with a plot to defraud the government. Specifically they are alleged to have voted-, “repeaters,” also minors and to have influenced men in casting their votes. The al-, fldavit® are based upon Sec. 27 of the U. S. .code, which reads <as follows: ‘‘Sec. 19. (Conspiracy to injure, etc., persons in the exercise of civil rights.) If two of more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten or intimidate any citizen in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the constitution or laws of the United States, or because of having so exercised the same, or if two or more person® go in disguise on the hjghway or on the premises of another, with intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any, right k)’ secured, they shall be fined not more than $5,000 and imprisoned not more than ten years, and shall, moreover, b£. thereafter ineligible to any office, place’ of honor, profit, or trust created by the constitution or the laws of the United States.”

Saturday Football Games Will Decide Championships.

There will be some great lootball games Saturday of this week and the college season in the west winds up with these events. Three are of coneidensrble interest 'here, the Illinois-Wfeeonffin game; the Chicago-Minnesota game and the Purdue-Indiana game. Illinois, which ha® won all of its games this year, is expected to dflfeat Wisconsin and thereby win the conference championship. Purdue should de? feat Indiana, but the game will be a hard fougiht one and difficulties at Purdue between the coaches, Smith and Vaughan and Athletic Director Nichol may lessen the Purdue chances of victory. The game will be played at Laifayette and It <te probable a number of former students of the two colleges will, go from Rensselaer to oee the game. Probably the most 'hotly contested game will be between Chicago and Minnesota. Both teams were defeated by Illinois by the same score. 21 to 7, Chicago tied Wisconsin and Minnesota defeated Wiaeonein. The Yale-Harvard game is the big contest of the east.
