5 YOUTHS CAPTURED HERE RETURNED TO CHICAGO

Three officers of the Chicago police department arrived here aboitt six o’clock Thursday evening by automobile and took the five youths, who were, placed in jail here Wednesday following thfdr capture and arrest at Wolcott on the charges of having broken in 4o the Murray store in this -city and of having a stolen automobile in their possession, back to Chicago where they will face a charge of having stolen a Pan American automobile, the property of Elias Bindaum of South Chicago. No charges will be preferred against the youths by the George E. Murray company, as it was deemed unnecessary in view of e fact tha+ they were to be tried upon the charge °f having stolen the automobile. The - detectives who came last evening grilled the prisoners for over an hour in the hopes of getting them to make a confession to the 'charges upon which they were being held, but without success, the boys steadfastly refusing to incriminate themselves in any way. However, there is not the slightest doubt as to their guilt and all will probably get prison terms. / ' ■ * Bqt one of the boys, Gerald Hughes, who. claims Chalmers as his home, hai reached the age of twen-ty-one years. A non of the owner of the automobile accompanied the. detectives here for the purpose of taking the car back to Chicago. However, it was found that the emergency brake of the car was broken and it was necessary for him to remain over until this Friday morning while mechanics were repairing it. Seven automobile thieves have been turned over to the Chicago authorities from this county within the nast few weeks, and Sheriff Woodworth is rapidly gaining a reputation of a nature that will cause lawbreakers to givek this county a wide berth in the future^.

VOTER FAILING TO STATE AGE NOT ELIGIBLE

Indianapolis, 4 Sept. , 9.—lndiana voters who registered September 4 as being “21 years old, plus” instead of giving their specific age, must either register again or lose their vote in the November elections, according to a ruling here today by the Indiana board of election commissioners. The election commission which made, the decision following a meeting here today, called for the purpose of preparing an interpretation of the age feature of the registration law, is composed of two men, W. W. Spencer, democrat and William H. Thompson republican with Governor Goodrich sitting as an ex-officio member. Give Exact Aga In its holdings, the commission takes the view that the law requires each voter to give his or her exact age. They contend that the purpose of the requirement is to establish identification of the voter as well as to ascertain that the voter is of legal age. They assert that the giving of the wrong age might permit fraudulent voting. Should a man or woman of fifty years for example, register as “21 plus” it might be possible, suggested the commissioners, for some young voter to go to the polls and vote in the name of an older person who had given his or her name incorrectly. “Over ?1" Not Enough. “We beg to state that it is our opinion that a proper compliance with the registration -tew of Indiana,” reads the opinion of the commissioners, “requires that an applicant for registration shall state in writing his or her age on the last preceding anniversary of his or her birthday. It *is not considered as sufficient to state that the applicant is 21 years old or over on a certain’ date prior to registration.” The meeting.was called today to make a ruling following reports from Johnson county that republican and democratic county, chairmen there agreed not to raise the age question, and to women, if they chose, to conceal their true age. -«■
