Deinorntie Controller of Fort Wiiyne Turn Down New Commissioner. FORT WAYNE. Ind.. April O.-City Controller Rerghoff has refused to approve the bonds of the three police commissioners appointed by Governor Durbin under the bill passed by the Inst Legislature, an-l Messrs. Rash, Geake and Trentman wi'.l have to fight for their offices. The initial steps are expected to be taken to-morrow. The bonds are signed by some of th? wealthiest and most influential residents of Fort Wayne. Ever since the act authorizing the aprfintment of commissioners to control thvs police and ire departments of Fort Wayne was passed the Democratic officials have held ft to be unconstitutional, in that the Supreme Court ha" ruled that the State has no riht to control the lire departments of an incorporated city. C. S. Bash, William Geake and A. R. Trentman received their commissions from the Governor yesterday and prepared bonds in $!.M) each, signed by bank presidents and capitalists Las; night, at o'clock, these bond.? were presented to Controller Rerghoff. who itluse-d to approve them on the ground that the law was unconstitutional. He said that he was prepared to fight the matter in the courts. Trentman was call-d to 1'iitsburg last evening and will not return until to-morrow. No action will be taken until then by the commissioners to force the controller to approve the bonds. The commissioners have retained Attorney J. R. Harper, and have sent for Attorney General Taylor to bring mandamus proceedings in the courts. Controller Rerghoff is the Democratic candidate for mayor. The charter amendments made it impossible for Mayor Seherer to be a candidate for re-election. The present administration, it is charged, has not enforced the laws against saloons nnd gumhlh'g. The advent of the new police commission -rs is expected to mean the end o( this regime. The new board will not try to force Its way into the city hall until to-morrow. The first intimation Governor Durbin had of the state of affairs existing at Fort Wayne was cont.ur.cd In a telegram from AVilliam Geake, one of the members of the new board appointed by the Governor in compliance with the Fort Wayne charter law passed bv the last Legislature. The telegram was as follows: ' City officials refuse to recognize your authority. They clnim law 1.' unconstitutional. We are awaiting vour instructions." Governor Umhin did rot return from Anderson until late in the afternoon. When shown the telegram he was very much surprised, but declined to express his views on the ejuestion until he had time tr eontider it. Secretary Wilson enld late yesterday afternoon that it wa3 not a piestion for the Governor, but for tne courts to eleolde. Pendleton Republican Nominees. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

SHVEX I. SEVEN YEARS. Rulers of Notion AVho Have Bern Removed by the Assassin. Kansas City Star. During the last seven years seven rulers of nations have been assassinated.

After a banquet he was driving to a theater in Lyons when a youns Italian leaped to the step of his carriage and drove a dagger Into htm, shouting, "Long live Anarchy!"

A young lady in Paris edits what may be termed one of the most daring of publications. Th- macazini! is printed by herself and circulates merely among friends of the light-tlngered fraternity, the editress being a kleptomaniac of no mean order, besides an inventor of wonderful devices calculated to assist her subscribers in successfully following their craft. items of interest are solicited for Insertion in the klepto journal and liberally paid for if useful. The paper has no title, is, for obvious reasons, undated and unnumbered; the numerous sketches of trick gloves, sachels, false hands, etc., being reproductions of black and white drawings by the editress and clandestine contributors. Three dollars per copy Ohe magazine is published monthly) are willingly paid by its supporters, who. for their own safety's bake, keep the publication a mystery. The papers are called for. or sent und.T cover by mail. Any Items of profitable interest the editress stipulates must ha cut out or written in a scrap book for future reference, the body of the paper afterward destroj ed. A lending article is. of course, the feature, wherein the versatile editress writes "chattily" of the houses she has visited, what artielesare offered for sale and what are worth appropriating; also what she considers the safest mode of procedure to adopt, while valuable hints on new devices laid to entrap the kleptomaniacs are noticed and discussed. All throughout the paper offers great assistance to shoplifters who have made home progress in their profession. Its originality is striking a skilled klepto cannot tread long on traveled ground and escape detection. ' Kvery subscriber must be introduced by a friend and should have served &t leapt a, year's apprenticeship. Her husband, her parent or guardian must be in a position to pay for any stolen good in case of arrest, and the magazine is not to be brought before the notice of any but genuine kleptomaniacs. Under such conditions the paper f?eems pretty safe. and. though wind of the affair was wafted forth a year ago, the mystery has as yet defied anything like exrosure. PeiiMioitern DylnK Itnpldly.
