Burrows, Ind., Cashier Short $20,000, Gives Self Up. Ellis E. Shookman, cashier of the ; Farmers’ State Bank of Burrows, Ind., a few miles from Delphi, walked calmly into the office of the auditor 1 of state at Indianapolis Thursday ant inquired for Arthur Craven, head of the banking department. When informed that Mr. Craven was not in, the stranger replied: “I am Ellis E. Shookman, cashier of the Fanners’ State Bank at Burrows. I have come to surrender to the department. I am about $15,000 to $20,000 short in my accounts.”

I The result of the conversation was that Shookman went on to police headquarters, where he was charged , with being a fugitive. He will be kept in Indianapolis until he can be turned over to the officers from Delphi, near which town Burrows is situated. Shookman fled from the bank early Thursday morning, while the bank examiners were working. He said he was afraid to surrender at Delphi. The money he took, probably $20,000, is alt gone.

While indicative, the data gathered was probably too meager to forecast general conditions with any great degree of accuracy. But the Herald figures taken in connection with the trend of sentiment as shown by the Cincinnati Enquirer’s secret polls are at least interesting.

The Cincinnati paper has polled various institutions and places in different parts of the state. ItTiad an expression of sentiment yesterday from 2,204 Hoosiers. Of these approximately 56.5 per cent are for Hughes and 43.5 are for Wilson. The Indiana vote of those two will approximate 650,000. If distributed as indicated by the Enquirer poll, the plurality of Hughes and Fairbanks will be about 81,250. That would be the largest plurality since 1904 when Roosevelt got 93,944. Sentiment on the governorship is divided in almost the same proportions as on the presidency. Mr. Goodrich is getting 56 to every 44 for Adair, indicating that his plurality will be at least 78,000. Mr. New is polling 55 per cent of the sentiment on the long-term senatorial race. The number of those voting on the contest between Watson and -Taggart is smaller than that recorded on the New-Kern event. Mr.

Watson is getting (almost 57 supporters for each 43 for Taggart. If he maintains that ratio on election day Mr. Watson will be elected by at least 68,500. It is interesting to note that almost exactly 85 per cent of former progressive announce themselves as republican. It also is significant that among those who are shifting between' republican and democratic parties, there are more than four who are going from the democratic to the republican party for every republican who will vote for Wilson.
