Romance Developing In Connection with the Little Girl Felicia Fettlff, Known as "Tootsie" In Court. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ELWOOD, Ind., Nov. 10. Two peculiar lawsuits, in which one or two Indianapolis women are Involved, have Just been filed in the county courts by Elwood people. Mr. and Mrs. Amos Ratcllff allege that last summer they were approached by Mrs. Mary L. Barr, of Indianapolis, who claimed that she was the Inventor and sole owner of a system of mathematical calculation known as the septenary system of cooperation, by the use of which the Homestead Loan and Investment Company, of Indianapolis, increased its net profits almost one-third, and for which it paid her large royalties. Mr. and Mrs. Ratcllff were induced to buy a one-sixth Interest in Mrs. Barrs system, the seller claiming that their share of the royalties would within the year pay off the $1.150 mortgage which they gave on their x property for the one-sixth interest. Mrs. Barr also succeeded in selling a one-twelfth Interest in her system to Charles Mitchell, a mall carrier, who gave ;2U0 In cash and a mortgage on his place tor It. The plaintiffs now claim that Mrs. Barr system Is no more of an Invention than the multiplication table and that she had no more right to sell it: that the system U not used at all by the Indianapolis Loan and Investment Company and that they have evidence of Mrs. liarr's having sold at least eighteen . of the one-twelfth Interests to parties over the State. Mary E. Johnson, of Indianapolis, comes into the case as the purchaser of the notes and mortgages given Mrs. Barr, but the plaintiffs allege that she is either a fictitious person or is in collusion with Mrs. Barr. The case is a remarkable one and will be followed with great interest all over the State. QUITE A ROMANCE. "Tootsie" Again Figures In the Courts Regarding Her Possession. Srecial to the Indianapolis Journal. FORT WAYNE, Ind., Nov. 10.

( I Community Aroused and Courts to De' Appealed to for Protection. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LAWRENCEBURG, Ind., Nov. 10. A bit of midnight strategy on the part of the contractors In charge of the Big Four Railway improvements near Lawrenceburg Junction last night aroused that community to Intense Indignation and formed the basis for numerous damage suits. For many months the persons residing in the vicinity of Lawrenceburg Junction and Homestead have bitterly opposed the laylug of the new Big Four tracks across the turnpike adjacent to those two villages, holding that the crossing would be a dangerous one, and forbidding the railway company to lay the tracks unless they would elevate them above the highway and eliminate the dangers to those traveling over the road. The railway company has never, it is said, agreed to lay an elevated track. The tracks were perfected on either side of the road, however, and last night the workmen In the employ of the contractors ran the track across the highway and spiked It down They were detected and an injunction Is sued, but Sheriff Axby could not serve it before its efficacy was destroyed. Numer ous threats were made and it was conndently expected that the track would be torn un by the incensed citizens.

The order was accepted by the violators just the same as many previous ones, no attention being paid to it. but In this they reckoned without their host, as three arrests were made, stiff fines assessed and a moral lecture dellv ered. which left no doubt that the local authorities were seriously In earnest.

Indiana Town Populated Exclusively by Standard Oil Employes. v Special to the Indianapolis Journal. PORTLAND, Ind., Nov. 10.-A little town in the southern part of Adams county is perhaps more sadly out of place than any other in the State similarly situated. The town is called Preble, and is populated almost exclusively by employes of the Standard Oil Company, this town being the last of the large stations on the enormous pipe line of the company which carries the products of the Indiana and Ohio oil fields to their large refineries at Whiting, near Chicago. Not a church or .1 schoolhouse Is to be found in this little town, and In this land of churches and schoolhouses this circumstance' Is the more remarkable. But this fact does not signify that the children of the town are degenerates or the older residents are Pagans or Infidels. The children are sent to the township schools, much the same as are the children of farmers who live miles from any settlement. While there is no church or schoolhouse in the town, the fact remains that there is a saloon there which has done a good business for several years. A large grain elevator, two general stores, a postofflce, a physician, a lawj-er and many handsome cottages are to be found here. The large pumping station of the Standard Oil Company Is the life of the town, and there are few there who are not employed in some capacity by the Standard. The surrounding country is among the richest in this State for agricultural purposes, and there are many wealthy farmers living in that vicinity. CATHOLIC CLERICAL MEETING.

Returns from the Kentucky Coagrresslonal Election Incomplete. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 10.-Incoicplete returns from twelve of the nineteen counties composing the Eleventh congressional dis trict, where a special election was held to day to elect a successor to the late Vincent Boreing, show a plurality for Dr. Godfrey W. Hunter of a little over 1.000. Thla is subject to change, however, as only about half the precincts in the district have been heard from. D. G. Edwards, who. like Dr. Hunter, is a Republican, claims that Hunter is defeated and that the complete returns will show an Edwards majority of 1,500. . John D. White, the Prohibition candidate, seems to have carried two and possibly three counties by small majorities, but his showing is due to the fight between Hunter and Edwards for .the Republican nomination, which resulted in seven injunctions and counter-injunctions, and finally ended by Hunter's name being left off the ballot in some counties and the omission of that of Edwards in others. The contest Is certain to end on the floor of the House. .

MEMORIAL FROM FINNS

GRIEVANCES OF ENFORCED JT.CTS OF HIS RUSSIAN MAJESTY. i Governor of Finland Accused of Opv pf easing the People Over Whom Ho jllas Been. Placed by the Csar. BERLIN, Nov. 10. While the Cxar ot RuiHla was at Darmstadt recently a cots mittjee of expelled Finns composed of Count Martnerheia. Eugen Wolff and the Rev. Magnus Rosendal, the writer and speaker. Vndrtavored to secure an audience with' his Majesty for the purpose of presenting a menlorlal. The Cxar refused to graut the audience but accepted the memorial, tho text of which is published here to-day. The memorial says in part: "All rights guaranteed by Alexander I, and; reiterated by his successors, as well as the reforms instituted by tbe latter, are brolien to fragments in order to make room for autocratic government. In the earlier yeas of your Majesty's reign the confidence of the Finnish people remained un shaken in the belief that their rights would be preserved and that they could continue to Cischarge their duties toward Russia and -the crown. Now, however, all this i revtfsed and unrest and discontent prevail everywhere. "Tjhe Governor has carried his dictatorial powfcrs to the greatest extreme. He outlaws; law-abiding citizens who refuse obedience to unconstitutional edicts, pursues them as criminals and arrests and imprisons hem. The citizens are subjected to a shameful system of espionage, their houses searched and themselves even expelled from i the country at the behest of th Governor. Indeed those subordinates of the Governor whof were honorable officials, enjoying the fullest confidence of the people, have been removed from their positions in great numbersand often succeeded by ignorant and characterless adventurers. Crime is advancing to a dangerous degree, yet the number of detected crimes has been greatly diminished, although the police force has beert abnormally strengthened. A condition exists in Finland similar to that which obtain when a hostile army invades a country. 1 The system has promoted a degree of corruption such as was never known before " EXODUS OF F0EEIGNEHS.
