Swales was arrested yesterday by detectives Doherty und McGuff on a charge of loitering. It is said that several days effo Swales, "while Intoxicated, registered at the Grand IIoteL When he was sober he was presented with hia bill. He said he had no money, but he had a brother llvlnjr in Chicago, who was president of a bank, who would stand good for the amount. He pave the hotel management an address and a name. A letter was sent according to Swalcs's directions, but In a few days It was returned unclaimed to the hotel. Yesterday Swales owed $20, and when asked to pay it said he had no mony. The management then had him urrested on a charge of loitering. At the police station Swales showed a card of H. C Allen, formerly attorney of the Citizens' Street-railroad Company. He said that he and Mr. Allen were frlendr, and sent word to Mr. Allen to have him call at the police station. Mr.' Allen did so and recognized Swales. The former told the officer that Swales was jfuilty of a number of like offenses In other cities. He aid Swales had a brother residing in Detroit, Mich., who ' was reiorted to be worth several hundred thousand dollars. Mr. Allen did not hail Swales out, but wrote the latter's brother concerning his predicament. Swales nlso wrtte a letter to his brother. Swales resides for the greater part of the time in Chicago, but he has led a roving life for the past several years. THOSE NAMES MMETT FORGOT. He Will Ask the County to Make Allowances lor Them. Sheriff Emmett has discharged the special deputies he swore in during the strike troubles, after it had been mentioned in the press that he wa3 taking no part in the effort to prevent the outbreak of any trouble here, lie announces that he will pay those deputies who went into active service 1.50 a day from his own fund?, but may ask the County Commissioners to reimburse him. A number of deputies were sworn in by him that were never called upon to do any iervke under their commission. These, he sa3, will not be paid. There is a question, however, as to wiiether or not rney cannot demand pay and compel payment. They hold commissions as deputy sheriffs, which authorizes them to do all the acts of a deputy sheriff until such time as their com mission Is revoked. They were subject to call at any time and would have been liable to punishment for a refusal to obey the call. If the claim of any were presented to a court on suit, it is sal I, the court would probably hold that the men were entitled to receive pay for the time their commissions ran. It is not known that any of tr.ese will demand payment but if they should the "bluff" of the sheriff made dur ing the strike, might prove expensive to Cimseir or the county. GUS KAHKE STILL ON HECK.

THE COUKT'S LESSON
taught to 3iom: mi: who KKirr OTHERS FltOM WOHKING. Striker Ilelcnseri ly Jmljre linker After the Admlnlt rntlou of Severe Rebukes. The time of the United States Court was yesterday occupied with violators of the federal restraining Thomas J. Murphy "committee" which order. J. JJ. White, and J. W. Alvls, the Informed the superin tendent of the. Louisville, Kvansville & St. Louis Consolidated railway that he must not expect his crews to haul anything but mail cars after July 8, were before the court, and in extenuation of their offense clalned that they only served this notice on the superintendent so that he might prepare for the convenience of his passengers. The men admitted that they knew the road was in the hands of a receiver appointed by the United States Court Judge Baker told have known that order of the court. them that they should they were violating the He called them up to his desk, and for ten minutes devoted himself to a scathing rebuke and practical talk upon the elements of good citizenship. The prisoners were released on their personal bond, which shall exist so long as they behave properly. Charles Sussex, of Princeton, was arraigned on the-charge of assaulting a train caller for the railway company. The prisoner pleaded not guilty, and the court ordered that if he failed to furnish $1,000 bond he should be kept In the Gibson county jail until Sept. 7, the date set aown for his hearing. Oscar Larson and Arthur Dishene, of Hammond, were sent to jail in default of bond. They were arrested for intimidating a telegraph operator at Hammond. Eoth men pleaded not guilty to the charge. Yesterday afternoon the court heard the evidence against Samuel Dally, William Shellady and Joseph Jameson, of New Albany. The men were arrested on the charge of obstrutcing a mail train on the Louisville, Evansville & St. Louis road. On Sunday evening, July 8. conductor Cuppy left the Union Station at Louisville with the Impression that he was to experience trouble at New Albany. He stopped at tha station across the river to get his clearance orders, and here found that his Mreman had refused to continue the journey. Another engine and fireman were pressed into service, but the latter declined to go out on the run unless the conduct of his fellowlaborer was forgiven by the road. A mes sage from the trainmaster obviated tnis difficulty, but other annoyances followed, and the train was not permitted to move until an hour and three-quarters had been consumed. It was shown that the train had been "cut" and that the defendant Dally had said, "We will let this train go only with the mail car." The prisoners produced policeman Adams, oi i-ouisviue, who said that ne naa oeen senw io uic yards to prevent trouble with the strikers.

They seemed to be taiKing io my reman, answered tne engineer. 'Indeed. I suppose you naa your closed." was the somewhat sarcastic comment of the court. "Why did you not turn the hot water on to them," ne continued; 'I think that a hot water bath would have done those fellows good." Engineer Ayles refrained from runner observation and retired from the stand. Another witness testified that he had seen striker Daily climb on to an engine and run it out on to the main track. Another had seen him couple on to a Pullman sleeper and detach it from the train. There was considerable evidence against the prisoners, but none to show that they had resorted to violence. Judge Baker, in summing up the evidence, spoke as follows: 'I think that there la no doubt under the evidence that all of these men have been guilty of disregarding the order of the court. This railway was In the hands of the court. The court had appointed a receiver who had authority to employ en gineers, firemen and other necessary em ployes to run the road. hen these men were employed they became the employes of the court. All of these prisoners appear to be men of Intelligence. They are men who owe a duty to society, to their wives and children. They ought to have known better than to have engaged in anything of this sort. If thev had a grievance against the receiver the court always stands ready to hear the com plaint. Iiut the court cannot permit anybody to interfere Svith the management of a road in its custody. It Is alwavs a painful duty to punish. but I do not know of any other wav bv which respect and obedience can he commanded than by nunishment. None of these defendants can nlead the that he did not know that he was doing wrong. I am satisfied that your conscience Is not so dead to religion and good laws that you did not know that you were doing wrong. The infinite meanness of man: the Infinite dishonor of men that will hand themselves together to beat down some poor fellow who is attempting to make a living for a wife and children! Is it nnsslble that in this free country the time has come when a man doing what God has given him the right to do is to be hounded as if he were a mad doc bv so-called or ganized labor and must get down on his knees at Its dictation? It's a desnotlsm nf a slavery that is intolerable. It is stranw that men will allow themselves at the dictation of these Anarchists and socialists. as they are, to become mere jumplng-jacks. unlading io me. .n or inese men have been shown by the evidence to have been on an engine that they had no right to be on. It was taken Possession of with tho authority and consent of Mr. Jameson. The only question with the court is what the punishment should be." District Attorney Uurke Your Honor, permit me to say a word. I know these men. and feel that what they did was not with any intent to insult the court. From what I know, they may have been ill-advised, but I do not think they intended to act in opposition to the court. Judge Baker Do you think it Is possible that there Is an American citizen who believes that because he is a member of the American Hallway Union that he has a right to strike and take possession of trains? ro you suppose that there Is a citizen In the land with a conscience so dead that he does not know that this is criminal? If you or I went Into a man's house like that he would get out his shotgun and run us out. These men are entire strangers to me, but the evidence shows that thy have been guilty of more than one flagrant wrong. They are men of Intelligence nnd know that they did wrong. It mav be that clemency will b appreciated. Tf I thoutrM that they would learn a lesson to quit these associations that teach men to practice lawlessness; if I thought that thev would appreciate the Indulgence of the court by nractlcinii the plan that one man can run his own business, that it is enough for men to bear their own sorrows without undertaking fo tiuht the people's battles. 1 would fed constrained to suspend sentence. I have no desire to punish anybody. It Is oniy a question as to what is duty on the part of th court. I won't pronounce a sentence to-day. I'll let vou men go on your good behavior, and the court will understand that it is a misbehavior If you don't kep the peace on the part of every citizen in Indiana. I would r.ot let you go if I dll not believe that there is enough conscience left In you to impel you to lend from this on the part of good citizens. Remember that he is wise ho acts upon the maxim that man in this world h:is -nough to do to look after his own business and let other people's alone. in:si:u i:i a scohix;. Merchant Policeman illnc In Police Court A I.olleri nr C'uwe. Merchant policeman Charles Hines was given a well-deserved "ro;tsting" from the bench in the Police Court yesterday morning. He had arrested Albert Maddox, William Engle. Ren Claman, Samuel S ibert and Frank Harris, the former for assault and battery an 1 resisting an oi:.. ran l the latter four for obstructing the sidewalk and Interfering with an officer. The evidence showed that there had been a church concert In the hall at the corner of TwentySecond and Illinois streets, in which the live boys arrested had taken parL. After the concert they were standing upon the 8 tree t corner waiting for a car. when
Hines came along and ordered them to move on. Some words passed between them, and he arrested Maddox and immediately began striking him with his lists. Maddox struck the officer with his cane, when the latter drew his revolver and began shooting. The whole crowd was arrested. In the Police Court Judge Stubbs told Hines he was a disgrace to the city, and he should be thankful that he was not appearing in the Police Court under a charge of murder. Steps will be taken to have his police powers revoked. About a month ago Hines attempted to arrest a young man for a trivial offense, and the man ran. Hines drew his revolver and began a promiscuous shooting at this time. David Williams, Asa Kaen and Frank Stout, three old men. and all residents of the city, were arrested for loitering and obstructing the sidewalk. The arrest was made by patrolman Corrigan in obedience to a general order Issued by Superintendent Powell some time ago. The Model Clothing Company bad complained of persons standing on the street in fiont of their store. In the Police Court all three of the men were discharged by Judge Stubbs. Superintendent Powell was indignant. He said there was no use of his trying to enforce ordinances when the men arrested were released in the Police Court. Judge Stubbs said he thought the Model company ought not to complain of persons standing in front of their stores, when they frequently put some attraction in their show window to cause the people to congregate in such crowds as to completely blockade the sidewalks, to the utter exclusion of pedestrians. Milton Banks threw a head of cabbage at his wife. She testified that he was In the habit of assaulting her, and he was fined 5.7) and sent to the workhouse for ninety days. Charles Oeftering was arraigned for selling liquor without city license, and the case was continued till this morning.
FreftU Chnrgen AgrnlnHt Striker. Philip A. Haxell and Charles Merryweather, two of the Hammond strikers arrested some time ago on the charge of violating the restraining order, were rearrested yesterday on a fresh charge. Haxell said that they were accused of drawing a revolver on a freight brakeman, but -denied the charge, and claimed that the pistol was In the hands of the brakeman. The men were in the custody of Marshal HawkIns until last night, when they were taken back to Hammond on the instructions of Judge Baker. The court placed their bond at $T00 each, which they will be compelled to furnish or go to Jail. Hereafter in cases where prisoners are accused of violating the restraining order, the court will make the bond .00. AV111 Xot Swear Them In. United States Marshal Hawkins has declined to grant the request of the Pennsylvania Railway Company to swear in a number of their Fort Wayne employes as deputy marshals. The railroad company offered to pay the men, but the marshal does not care to take the responsibility of men whom he knows nothing about. There are still twelve deputies at Fort Wayne, but they will be withdrawn within the next two days. Mnrrled AVIthout Divorce. Joseph McCluskey has filed suit against Flora McCluskey, alias Limbeck, asking that he be divorced from her. In his complaint he alleges that he married the defendant In Ohio In lS'lS. but that sh proved unfaithful and afterwards married a man named Limbeck without the formality of first securing a divorce.

MEET OF BICYCLISTS CRACKS OF T11K COI'XTRY AVI LI nn IX THIS CITY NHXT AYEEK. Tonrnnment to Zle Held at Grounds on Friday nnd day The Events. the Fnlr SnlurThe National Circuit Bicycling race meet will be held at the State fair grounds, Friday and Saturday, July 27 and 28. The circuit includes the following cities: Worcester and Waltham, Mass.; New York city. Hartord, Conn.; Seranton, Pa.; Baltimore, Md.; Cleveland and Toledo, O.; Indianapolis, and Denver, Col. Races have been held In all these cities excepting Denver and here. Atter the races are held in this city the riders will go to Denver and there close the racing season. The meeting in this city will be given under the auspices of the Zigzag Cycling Club, and the efforts of the club indicate that It will undoubtedly be the greatest event of its kind ever held in this vicinity. Up to yesterday, about one hundred riders, all flyers, had written that they intended to enter. Among those who have assured the management that they ywill be here are Walter Sanger, of Milwaukee; J. P. Bliss, A. B. Doniven, Githens. of Chicago; L. D. Cabanne, of St. Louis; 11. F. Goetz and E. C. Johnson, of Cleveland, O.; John S. Johnston, C. II. Callahan, C. M. Murphy and Gus Steele, James Deovy and II. R. Steensen, of Chicago; F. J. Titus, of New York; E. F. Miller, Vineland, N. J.; W. J. Helfert. Utica. N Y W. A- Wells. Springfield Mass., and Ed D. McKeon. of Greenfield. O. Greater interest will be taken In the meet in this city than elsewhere on account of the number of speedy local riders who are entered for the fast events. Much is ex pected of Mannon. Roll. Minor and Bonfield from their recent performances. Another thing that will tend to cause unusual Inter est in this meet is the fact that the riders for all the prominent houses are entered to stay and will ride for blood. The ma jority of the large bicycle manufactories have at least two flyers representing them and riding their wheels in this circuit. This will be the first meet thi3 year in which all the leaders will compete for worthy prizes. As the reputation of the wheel and the rlders, to a great extent, depends upon the time of the races, no soldiering is expected. The following is a list of the events: Friday, July 27 One-mile novice. Class A: one-half mile handicap, Class B; one-quarter-mile open. Class A; one-mile open, Class h; one-mne namncap, tiass a; one-half-mile open. Class It; one-mi'.e 2:4'J class, Class A; two-mile handicap. Class B. Saturday, July 28 One-mile Zigzag Club handicap.

31 A.YOII DOCS XOT TIIIMv IXCHEASE IX PRESENT LEVY .ACCESSARY. Cabinet Meeting DisciiMMC the Estlmnten nnd Proposed Xevr Syntem of Municipal Bookkeeping;. The regular meeting of the Mayor's cabinet was held at his residence la,st night. The principal business considered by the meeting was the estimates of the probable expenses of the city next year. There will be some changes made In the way of estimating the expenses o as to have each department Include in its estimate the expenses of all institutions and buildings under Its management or control. When this plan has been adopted a new system of bookkeeping will be used by wiiich it will be possible to tell the exact expense of anyone department at the end of the year. Heretofore a large part of the expense of maintaining the city's public institutions has fallen upon the Board of Public Works, and the employes under the other departments had no reason to practice economy, as neither they nor the department in which they were employed re ceived the credit for the economy. As yet nothing has been done in any of the departments towards estimating the probable expense of the department for the coming year. This work will be begun at once and the Tesult wiU be presented to the next cabinet meeting, to be held on Aug. 15. This will be five days before the last Council meeting in August, which will give ample time to go over the estimates before they are presented to the Council and enable the Council to pass the appropriation ordinance In time for the beginning of the city year on Sept. 1. The assessable property in Marion county this year will be $104,000,000, an Increase of $1,000,000. The Mayor said he' did not think It wxmld be necessary to increase the present levy of 60 cents If economy was practiced In all the departments. There will be two new engine houses to be built next year, which expense Is to be considered In making the estimates, but the Mayor thought it was possible that enough might be saved to pay for these. Controller Trusler said that the city was $100,000 better off now than It was at this time last year, as it then had an outstanding temporary loan for that amount. Mr. Kramer, of the Board of Fubllc Works, said that one-fourth of the money allowed to the board for street repairs had been paid out in fixing up streets wnere sewers had been put in and the contractors had not restored the street to its former condition. The Mavor said the city had paid $;5,000 in repairing streets after they had been torn up by the natural gas and water companies. It was recommended that an ordinance be prepared providing for the repair of the streets by tne street com missioner, and charging the expense to the neglectful contractors ana retaining the money from the amounts due them. The question of providing employment for worthy persons who may be unable to secure it next winter was aiso uiscussed at the meeting, and the members of the Board of Public Works said they were holding back three big sewer con tracts to be let this winter for the pur pose of furnishing employment. The police will be instructed to secure tne names or all worthy persons who may need the em ployment, and care win oe tanen mat "bums" and agitators are not given any work. Mayor Denny called the attention of the caLir.et to the fact that there were sev eral amendments to the charter that were needed, without specifying In what par ticular. He requested the members or tne different departments to make notes of such changes as would .probably be for the better and bring them before a future meeting of tho cabinet. After they are presented to the cabinet they will be submitted to the city attorney and prepared for submission to the Legislature. A report was made upon the condition of Greenlawn cemetery, showing that most of tha bodies had been removed from 'the vaults by the undertakers, and that the few remaining ones would be removed within a short time. Controller Trusler called attention to the fact that by a contract made by the Sullivan BoP-rd of Public Safety the city was paying a month rent for the small lot south ot the police station. Tnis would almost pav for the lot within a few years. He recommended that the city buy the lot. Hi Arrest u Joke. Bailiff Charles Dawson was arrested in the Police Court yesterday morning upon a warrant sworn out by patrolman Warren. The charge against him was assault and battery. A deputy constable from North Indianapolis was in the court and crowded against the railing several times. He did not move back when ordered to. and was ejected from the room by the bailiff. He then threatened to nave tne officer arrested for assault and battery. Dawson was released on his own recogniz ance and joined with the others In the court In a laugh at his own expense. He says he did not know the man was an oiucer. Innpectlnor Improvement. The Board of Public Works spent a por tion of the afternoon yesterday in looking over completed Improvements and Inspect ing streets where sewers had been conorder that sewer contractors must restore streets to the same condition they were in before the sewers were constructed, and will see thai the streets are In proper con dition before the work is accepted from the contractor. .IitrkMon Place Improvement. The city engineer has completed the speci fications for the improvement of Jackson place, McCrea and Louisiana streets about the Union Station, and also for the asphalting of South Meridian street, from South to McCarty street, and will present them to the board this morning. A'ncatlon for Engineer. The employes in the city engineer's department will take a week's vacation, without" pay, as they can be spared from the work. This is done In order to keep the expenses down to the estimates. Clifford Avenne Sprinkling. The Board of Tublic Works yesterday adopted a resolution for the sprinkling of Clifford avenue, from Massachusetts avenue to Woodruif place. TO PUMP THE GAS. Stations to Be Erected in the Hamilton County Field. Ground has been bought in White river township, Hamilton county, by the Indianapolis Natural Gas Company on which to erect a gas pumping station. The company will probably not build the station this year. The Consumers' Gas Company is also expecting to have a like station within a year. Both companies are digging new wells, replacing old pipe, and pulling out pipe from wells where the pressure has fallen below l'Jo pounds. John It. Pearson, president of the Indianapolis Gas Company, is in Madison county to aprear before the county tax board to aslc a reduction of the tax on weiis, which is $tii each. Some of the mains have been taxed more than the cost of construction. The Indianapolis companies hope for a reduction of taxes In the gas field this year, and if it is necessary to get this an appeal will be made to the State Board of Tax Commissioners. MKT. Sntlir It roe nt Hilling. Several of the local Catholic clergy have given expression to their opinion regarding the action of Bishop Watterson In ordering that saloon keepers be not electel officers of Catholic societies anl the sustaining of the onlcr by Msr. Satolli. Mkt. Heroines expresse-I himself as beinej pleased with it. and said its effect would be that hereafter Catholic societies would be more Ptrict as to the members they admitted and ol!i?era they elected. Father Dowd. of Hauirhville, aid he did not think that Uishop Watterson would be sustained by Mr. Satolli, but saw that he was. He sAid there were undoubtedly some good men in the saloon business. Deny They Saw the Murder. Annie Hoover. Richard McAllister, Mollie Purctll and Hazel Sanders are the nams of persons given to Coroner Beck by Suxerlntendent Powell as being witnesses to the killing of Weston B. Thomas at Brighton Beach. All deny that the' wit-
nessed the killing, or that they were at the Beach or in the vicinity when the killing occurred. Just on what grounds the police handed the names to the coroner is not known, and Superintendent Powell refuses to make any statements until after the coroner has taken their testimony. Coroner Beck has given the names to bis constable, with orders to summon them to his oifice for to-day. The coroner, however, said he did not think the four knew much about the killing, but he would take their testimony.
THE DETKOIT FRANCHISE CASE. A Point in General Harrison's Brief in Street Car Litigation. During the argument in the street-car litigation in the federal court. Judge Woods asked of General Harrison the question if a court of chancery might not require some provision to be made for the Citizens' Street-railroad Company in remuneration for its property. Judge Wood3 said the court might not order the property turned over unless the cost of replacing it was paid. In his brief General Harrison has made a fuller answer. He saj's; "If, under the statute, our right to operate a street railway is derived from the city, and was lawfully limited to a period of thirty years, upon what theory of equity jurisdiction can the court extend our rights to a longer period? Surely there is no such power. Now. unless our right to continue in the use of these tracks can be held in exercise by the court beyond the limited time, we can get no value of them, save, first, by finding a buyer who can use them as they lie, or by taking them up and selling the material. The first value cannot be secured unless there Is competition between persons having the right to use the tracks; but this court cannot open such competition unless it has power to control the legislative discretion of the Board of Works and the City Council; and without such power how can this court restrain those bodies from giving to a new company the right to place tracks just where our unused tracks are. To protect our values you must not only prevent the use of our tracks by others, but you must prevent the city from requiring us to remove them. For if we have only the right to remove them, or if we may be compelled to remove them, the scrap heap value only is left to us. You must not only say that no other company shall use our tracks without a valued compensationbut you must say in effect that it must use them; for, if they are not compelled to take and use them, we remain as fully as ever in their power. In the Detroit case cited In the argument. Judge Taft held that as the law of Michigan limited the corporate life of street railways to fifty years, a city grant or license to use the streets, which went beyond the corporate life, was void, because there was no corporation to exercise it. The results were so disastrous and inequitable that when he fully realized them he suspended the final decree and appealed to the parties to make a compromise. He saw no way of escape through any power of the chancellor.
