WELL-KNOWN DETECTIVE IS BEDUCEDTO THE RANKS Adolph Asch, Once Slated as Sleuth, Made a Patrolman by the Safety Board. ACT EVOKES SURPRISE

Truckmen and Gardeners Must Move from Courthouse Square Under Xew Order. Without any canM other than "for the betterment of the service," the Board of Public Safety yesterday reduced to the ranks Detective Adolph Asch, who has been tft the Indianapolis police service for years, and he Is now a patrolman. No charges were preferred against Asch, and, to far as i.s known, none have cv r basn. His unceremonious reduction to the ranks evoked great aurpris- at polio- m ition. Some hazard the charge that jealousy on the part of fellow-officers led to the board's action. Otto Simon, a blcyclman, was promoted to the rank of detective, to take the place of Asch. and Patrolman Edward Samuels was promoted to a blcycleman In Simons place. Charges were filed with the board by Mrs. Lisste Schwabe, who alleges that two rings, of a value of about 132, were taken from bar husband while he was In the custody of the police, and were not returned to him. Schwabe was taken in hand by tha police as insane, and, according to Mrs. Schwa he's statement to the board, the rings Ware on his finger when he was taken to tha station, but later could not be found. Buperintf relent Kruger was Instructed to Investigate. Steps were taken by the board to deprive truckmen of their time-honored privilege of waiting with their conveyances for trade at the northwest si le of Courthouse square. Superintendent Krusjer was instructed to move them to South New Jersey or South East street. A letter from firemen, consenting to the back pay compromise, was received, and the board will ask City Attorney Warrum to draft an ordinance for a Council appropriation to defray the payment. A petition was sent to the board, signed by over a hundred farmers and garden rs, protesting against the proposed action of the authorities in forbidding them to sU their wares on Courthouse square. The petitioners Insist that market houses are too small to accommodate all who wish to use them. CRIMINAL'S FREEDOM CAN'T BE HELPED Governor Durbin Is Advised of the Situation in Pike County. According to a message received yesterday from Pike county. Willard Catt's liberty is not by grace of any officials th.i.-. Catt is wantd for a brutal assault upon Mrs. Lafayette Dedman, wife of a farmer. Governor Durbin, hearing complaints of negligence on the part of Pike county officials, ordered an investigation, which clears the officials of any blame. NIGHT OF SURPRISES PLANNED BY CHURCH bt-l&obcrts Park M. E. Church to-morrow night a unique valentine entertainment will be given, the proceeds of which will be applied to church funds. Miss Bertha Hayes, well known as a lyceum entertainer, and Mrs. Olivia Sanger, of New York, nn entertainer, will furnish the first part of the entertainment. Following this, luncheon will be .erved. Those who are promoting the entertainment promise some surprises to those who attend. Winning Shoe nunc Arrest.

Ward needed a pair Of shoes and, the officers any, stole a pair beloiüiin-r to James Musters, who fa employed In the storeroom of the hotel. Ward is-a negro. FINE OF FIFTY DOLLARS ;t THE Works Board Thought the Company's Explanation Not Satisfactory. Against the Indianapolis & Eastern Traction Company the Board of Public Works yesterday assessed the first fine registered against an lnterurban company in this city for failure to stop a car at a street crossing on signal from a productive passenger. The president of the company was notified by the board's clerk that his company would have to pay a fine of $50 becaus the explanation for a recent failure to stop was not considered sufficient. I. G. Patteibon complained that an Indianapolis & Eastern car refused t- stop for him at Rural street on the afternoon oi Jan. 10. The complaint was referred to the management of the i and Its answer Was to refer to the board the explanation given by the motorman and conductor. The motormun stated that the complainant did not signal the car until it was within a half square of him. and that the car could not be stopped within a distance of half a square To thla answer the board replied that It "deems the explanation wholly insufficient; a car that could not he properly stopped Within the city limits within a distance of One-half a square was going at a rate of paed certainly in violation of the ordinance governing such i and was creating danger. The hoard believes that a ear signaled one-half square before It raaahes a crossing has had ample time to stop for a pass.ngei believes the aompanv culpable under the provWoDI of your contract."

SCENT A SCHEME IN PLAN

OF City Officials Protest Against Temporary Track Across KentuckyAvenue Bridge. PETITION FOR BRIDGES N action toward new bridges has been taken since the meeting of city officials with the County Commissioners last Monday. Public opinion was expressed in a petition filed yesterday with the Board of Public Works asking for the construction of two stone bridges across the river, one at Oliver avenue and one at Morris street. The petition was signed by about 3U0 residents of West Indianapolis, and was presented by Councilman Fay Wright. The temporary street-car line which the Indianapolis Traction & Tei mined Company proposes to construct across the river on the Kentucky-avenue bridge is the subject of controversy between the mayor and Board of Public Safety and the railway company. The company wants to lay "T" rails and to erect wooden poles as for a purely temporary line. The city authorities 1' ;i- ve that the company, once the line Is down, will keep it there permanently, as It could do under its franchise, and for this reason they insist that rails shall be girder rails and the poles steel. The question will be discussed by the board and representatives of the railway company at a special meeting this morning. Street Commissioner Herplck's department is busy replacing and repairing small bridges and culverts, cross walks and sidewalks that were washed away or damaged by the recent flood. Plans for repairs to old bridges across the river, so that they may be made fit for vehicle traffic, will be presented by Engineer Jeup to the Board of Public Works at its meeting Friday. Repairs to the Northwestern-avenue bridge across Fall creek are In progress and that structure will probably be ready for passage of Indianapolis t Northwestern and city street cars this afternoon. WOMEN PLAN WAR ON CIGARETTE HABIT Conference of W. C. T. U. Workers Is Held and Reforms Planned. An all-day conference was held by the Marion county W. C. T.

JOURNEY TO ASYLUM PREVENTED BY DEATH Weak from exhaustion caused by his ravings. Thomas Fauts. who was arrested Monday and confined in Jail until he could be taken to the Insane asylum, died suddenly yesterday afternoon. His death surprised the officials of the Jail. In the pockets of the clothes he wore there was found a receipt showing him to have been a member of the Red Men in North Indianapolis and also a member of the Knights of Pythias. go-DAY LIMIT ON BIG BUILDING CONTRACT The Home Brewing Company has awarded the contract for their new bottling works and stable to John A.

The last work of Mr. Dickens waa a story entitled "The Mystery of Edwin Drood." The great tale teller h:d woven a tangled skein of mystery round the tragic disappearance of an unfortunate young man of wealth. The novel promised to be one of the greatest of Dickens's works. But before he had completed the book death overtook the author, und no man knows what Um end was to hae been. Monday. Feb. 8. the Journal began the publication as a seri.ii r Th. Mystery of Edwin Drood '' Every man and woman, boy and girl In Indiana may enter the competition for the solution prises.

GO OK RECORD I WOT BUTTER Low-Priced Produce Is Deplored at Institute Woman Wants Equal Partnership. DISCUSSES WIFE'S SHARE Interesting Topics Will Be Discussed at the Session of the Institute To-Day. The opening programme of the Marion County Farmers' Institute, under the auspices of Purdue University, was presented at P"n Davis yesterday. Mr. T. J. Lindley of Noblesville, addressed farmers on "Mistakes and What They Cost Us." Mr. Lindley said that it would be better if not a grain of wheat were sown In Indiana, that is, taking the farmers' side of it from a financial standioint. He also discouraged the making of 15-cent butter. He thought that it would "be better to throw the milk to the calves or to the hogs than to have the farmer's wife and daughters killing themselves making 15-cent butter from it." Mrs. Kline, of Huntington, made an earnest appeal for more science among the farmers. Mrs. Kline called the farmer the guardian of the State's vitality the soil. She said scientific men had changed their tactics and that in this age they were co-operating with the farmer. This is shown by the experimental stations throughout the country, the agricultural press and the county Institutes. In the afternoon Dr. J. W. Bates addressed the convention on "Good Roads as a National Policy." He advocated convict labor in crushing the stone in the quarries for use on the roads. Mrs. Kline again addressed the audience In the afternoon on "The Share of the Wife." She advanced the idea that the farmer and wife were equal partners and that the proceeds of the farm should be divided equally. She said that it was an injustice for the wife to have to ask the husband for the purse; she should have the same access to it because she is one of the workers. At the evening session Mr. Lindley spoke on "The Farmer Boy, His Prospect and His Retroprospect." Mr. Lindley quoted a neat poem for his opening remarks and spoke of the ambitions of ihe farmer boy while he was on the farm and how after he had reached the city, realized his ambitions and made his fortune he longed for the old home. This moining Mrs. Kline will have the subject, "Shall We Name Cur Farms?" and Mr. J. N. Nysewander v ill speak on "Strawberry Culture Suited to the Farmers' Garden." This afternoon Mr. Lindley will speak on "How to Make More Money By Less Labor."

POSTMASTER DENNIS, OF SALEM, IN TOWN Postmaster Dennis, of Salem, who was in the city yesterday looking after K. of P. affairs, reports the Demoeruts of his district In a badly tangled condition. "The Democratic congressional fight has reached a warm stage." said Mr. Dennis, "and there is some doubt as to its outcome, but in my opinion Mr. Zenor will be renominated. In the meantime the Republicans are making hay and we shall doubtless show material gains for our party in the coming I election." WORLD'S FAIR EXHIBIT IS HAHDIWORKJF CHILDREN Schools of Indiana Will Present Banner Display at St. Louis Education Building. From the mass of exhibit materials re ceived to date by the State Board of Education, a school exhibit will be gleaned which, it Is believed, will not be surpassed at the world's fair. Work Is now going on in the State Capitol In preparation for the exhibit. Nearly every county and every city in Indiana is represented in the collection by several grades of work, both composition and manuscript, maps and art work. The exhibition of the Marion primary grades has elicited especial praise from Superintendent Cotton. The Greencastle public schools have also contributed a creditable exhibit. la the front rank of high-school work is that from East Chicago. Another exhibit from the same city is from students who are exclusively of foreign parentage. Poles. Finns, Italians and others have contributed work which is commendable. Hobart township. Uike county, holds the palm for rural adftOOl work. To this is ascribed the wages paid teachers in that county, none but the best talent being employed by the trustees. As fast as classified the work of the pupils is bound in half1 -at her and is then ready for the Education building at St. Louis. tributions will receive consideration only as solutions of the mystery.

The Mystery of

Edwin Drood r

CONTINUED FROM YESTERDAY. "And if it's cold for you. up In the chancel, with a lot of live breath smoking out about you, what the bitterness is to Durdles, down in the crypt among the earthy damps there, and the dead breath of the old uns." returns that individual. "Durdles leaves you to Judg'e. Is this to be put In hand at once. Mr. Sapsea?" Mr. Sapsea. with an author's anxiety to rush Into publication, replies that it cannot be out of hand too soon. "You had better let me have the keys then." says Durdles. "Why. man. it is not to be put inside the monument!" "Durdle! knows where it's to be put. Mr. Sapsea; no man better. Ask e're a man in Clolsterham whether Durdles knows his work." Mr. Sapsea rises, takes a key from a drawer, unlocks an iron safe let Into the wall, and takes from it another key. "When Durdles puts a touch or a finish upon his work, no matter where, inside or outside. Durdles likes to look at his work all round, and see that his work is a-dolng him credit." Durdles explains, doggedly. The key proffered him by the bereaved wldqwer being a large one. he slirs his two-foot rule Into a side pocket of his flannel trousers made for It. ahd deliberately opens his flannel coat, and opens the mouth of a large breast pocket within it before taking the key to place It In that repository. "Why, Durdles!" eiclalms Jasper, looking on amused, "you are undermined with pockets!" "And I carries weight in 'em. too. Mr. Jasper. Feel those!" producing two large keys. "Hand me Mr. Sannea's likewise. Surely this Is the heaviest of the three." "You'll find 'em much of a muchness. I expect." says Durdles. "They all belong to monuments. They all open Durdles's work. Durdles keeps the keys of his work mostly. Not that they're much used." "By the bye." It comes Into J as p. r's mind to say, as he idly examines the keys, "I have been going to ask you. many a day, and have always forgotten. You know they sometimes call you Stony Durdles. don't you?" "Clolsterham knows me as Durdles, Mr. Jasper." "I am aware of that, of course. But the boys sometimes " "Oh, if you mind them young imps of boys " Durdles gruffly interrupts. "I don't mind them any more than you do. But there was a discussion the other day among the Choir, whether Stony stood for Tony," clinking one key against the other. ("Take care of the wards, Mr. Jasper.") "Or whether Stony stood for Stephen," clinking with a change of keys. ("You can't make a pitch pipe of 'em, Mr. Jasper.") "Or whether the name comes from your trade. How stands the fact?" Mr. Jasper weighs the three keys In his hand, lifts his head from his idly stooping attitude over the lire, and delivers the keys to Durdles wi h an ingenuous and friendly face. But the stony one is a gruff one likewise, and that hazy state of his is always an uncertain slate, highly conscious of Its dignity, and prone to take offense. He drops his two keys back into his pocket one by one. and buttons them up; he takes his dinner bundle from the chairback on which he hung it when he came in. he distributes the weight he carries by tying the third key up in it. as though he were an Ostrich, and liked to dine off cold iron; and he gets out of the room, deigning no word of answer. Mr. Sapsea then proposes a hit at backgammon, which, seasoned with its own improving conversation, and terminating in a supper of cold roast beef and salad, beguiles the golden evening until pretty late. Mr. Sapsea' s wisdom being, in its delivery to mortals, rather of the diffuse than the epigrammatic order, is by no means expended even then; but his visitor intimates that he will come back for more of the precious commodity on future occasions, and Mr. Sapsea lets him off for the present to ponder on the installment he carries away. ( 11 AI'TEIt V. MR. DURDLES AND FRIEND. John Jasper, on his way home through the Close, is brought to a standstill by the spectacle of Stony Durldes. dinner bundle and all, leaning his back against the iron railing of the burial ground inclosing It from the old cloister arches; and a hideous small boy in rags flinging stones at him as a well-defined mark in the moonlight. Sometimes the stones hit him, and sometimes thoy miss him, but Durdles seems indifferent to either fortune. The hideous small boy, on the contrary, whenever he hits Durdles, blows a whistle of triumph through a jagged gap, convenient for the purpose, in the front of his mouth, where half his teeth are wanting; and whenever he misses him yelps out "Mulled agin!" and tries to atone for the failure by taking a more correct and vicious aim. ' What are you doing to the man?" demands Jasper, stepping out into the moonlight from the shade. "Making a cock-shy of him." replies the hideous small boy. "Give me those stones in your hand." "Yes, I'll give 'em you down your throat if you come a-ketching hold of me." says the small boy, shaking himself loose and backing. "I'll smash your eye. if you don't look out!" "Baby-Devil that you are, what has the man done to you?" "He won't go home. "What's that to you?" "He gives me a 'apenny to pelt him home If I ketches him out too late." says the boy. And then chants, like a little savage, half stumbling and half dancing among the rags and laces of his dilapidated boots: Widdy widdy wen! I ket ches Im out ar ter ten. We'dy widdy wy' Then E don' t go then I shy Widdy Widdy Wake-cock warning!" with a comprehensive sweep on the last word, and one more delivery at Durdles. This would seem to be a poetical note of preparation, agreed upon, as a caution to Durdles to stand clear If he can, or to betake himself homeward. John Jasper Invites the boy with a beck of his head to follow him (feeling It hopeless to drag him or coax him), and crosses to the iron railing where the Stony (and stoned) One is profoundly meditating. "Do you know this thing, this child?" asks Jasper, at a loss for a word that will defiue this thing. "Deputy," says Durdles. with a nod. "Is that Its his name?" "Deputy." assents Durdles. "I'm man-servant up at the Travellers' Twopenny In Gas Works Gardlng," this thing explains. "All us man-servants at Travellers' Lodgings is named Deputy. When we're chock full and the Travellers Is all abed I come out for my Vlth." Then withdrawing Into the road, and taking aim, he resumes: "Widdy widdy wen! I ket ches Im out ar ter " "Hold your hand," cries Jasper, "and don't throw while I stand so near him. or I'll kill you! Come, Durdles. let me walk home with you tonight. Shall I carry your bundle?" "Not on any account." replied Durdles. adJusting it. "Durdles was making up his reflections here when you come up, sir, surrounded by his works, like a popular Author. Your own brother-in-law." introducing a sarcophagus within the railing, white and cold In the moonlight. "Mrs. Sapsea." Introducing the monument of that devoted wife. "Late Incumbent." introducing the Reverend Jentleman's broken column. "Departed Assessed Taxes," Introducing a vase and towel, standing on what might represent a cake of soap. "Former Pastry-cook and Muffin-maker, much respected," Introducing gravestone. "All safe and sound here. sir. and all Durdles's work. Of the common folk, that Is merely bundled up in turf and brambles, the less said the better. A poor lot. soon forgot." "This creature, Deputy, Is behind us," says Jasper, looking back. "Is he to follow us?" The relations between Durdles and Deputy are of a capricious kind; for. on Durdles's turning himself about with the slow gravity of beery sodder.ness. Deputy makes a pretty wide circuit Into the road and stands on the defensive. "You never cried Widdy Warning before you begun to-right." says Durdles. unexpectedly reminded of. or imagining, an injury. "You lie. I did." says Deputy, in his only form of plite contradiction. "Own brother, sir," observes Durdles. turning himself about again, and as unexpectedly forgetting his offense as he had recalled or conceived It; "own brother to Peter the Wild Boy! But I gave him an object in life." "At which he takes aim?" Mr. Jasper suggests. That's it. sir," returns Durdles. quite satisfled, "at which he takes aim. I took him in hand and gave him an object. What was he before? A destroyer. What would he do? Nothing but destruction. What did he earn by it? Short terms in Cioisterham Jail. Mal a person, not a piece of property, not a winder, not a horse, nor a dog. nor a cat. nor a bird, nor a fowl, nor a pig. but what he stoned, for want of an enlightened object before him, and now he can turn his honest halfpenny by the three penn'orth a week." "I wonder he has no competitors." "Hi- ha- plent Mr Ja-jM-r. 1 jt ho stones 'em all away. Now, I don't know what this scheme of mine comes to." pursues Durdles, considering about it with the same sodden gravity; "I don't know what you may precisely call It. It aln t a sort of a scheme of a National Education?" "I should say not." replies Jasper. 'I should say not." assent Durdles; "then we won't try to give it a name." "He still keeps behind us," repeats Jasper, looking over his shoulder: "is he to follow us?" "We can't help going round by the Travellers'

By

Charles Dickens Twopenny, if we go the short way. which Is the back way," Durdles answers; "and we'll drop him there." So they go on; Deputy as a resr rank one. taking open order, and invading the silence of the hour and place by stoning every wall. post, pillar and other inanimate object by the desuited, way. "Is there anything new down in the crypt. Durdles?" asks John Jasper. "Anything old. I think you mean." growls Durdles. "It ain't a spot for novelty." "Any new discovery on your part. I meant.' "There's an old un under the seventh pillar on the left as you go down the broken steps of the little underground chapel as formerly was; I make him out (so fur as I've made him out et) to be one of them old uns with a crook. To judge from the size of the passages in the walls, and of the steps and doors, by which they come and went, them crooks must have been a good deal in the way of the old uns! Two of 'em meeting promiscuous must have hitched one another by the mitre pretty often, I should say." Without any endeavor to correct the literallty of this opinion. Jasper survey! his companioncovered from head to foot with old mortar, lime and stone grit as though he. Jasper, were getting imbued with a romantic interest in his weird life. "Yours is a curious existence." Without any endeavor to correct the literallty question whether he receives this as a compliment or quite the reverse. Durdles gruffly answers: "Yours is another." ' Well! inasmuch as my lot is cast In the same old earthly, chilly, never-changing place. Yes. But here is much more mystery and interest in your connection with tho Cathedral than in mine. Indeed I am beginning to have some idea of asking you to take me on as a sort of student, or free 'prentice, under you. and to let me go about with you sometimes, and see some of these odd nooks In which you pass your days." The Stony One replies, in a general way, "All right. Everybody knows where to find Durdles when he's wanted " Which, if not strictly true. Is approximately so. if taken to express that Durdles may always be found In a state of vagabondage somewhere. "What I dwell upon most." says Jasper, pursuing his subject of romantic Interest, "is the remarkable accuracy with which you would seem to find out where people are burled. What Is the matter? That bundle is in your way; let me hold it." Durdles has stopped and backed a little (Deputy, attentive to all his movements, immediately skirmishing into the road), and was looking about for some ledge or corner to place his bundle on. when thus relieved of it. "Just you give me my hammer out of that.' says Durdles. "and I'll show you." Clink, clink. And his hammer is handed him. "Now, lookee here. You pitch your note, don't you, Mr. Jasper?" "Yes." "So I sound for mine. I take my hammer, and I tap." (Here he strikes the pavement, and the attentive Deputy skirmishes at a rather wider range, as supposing that his head may be in requisition.) "I tap. tap. tap. Solid! I go on tapping. Solid still! Tap again. Holloa! hollow! Tap again, persevering. Solid in hollow! Tap, tap. tap. to try it better. Solid In hollow; and Inside solid, hollow again! There you are! Old un crumbled away In stone coftln, In vault!" "Astonishing!" "I have even done this," says Durdles, drawing out his two-foot rule (Deputy meanwhile skirimshlng nearer, as suspecting that Treasure may be about to be discovered, which may somehow lead to his own enrichment and the delicious treat of the discoverers being hanged by the neck, on his evidence, until they are dead). "Say, that hammer of mine's a wall mv work. Two, four, and two Is six," measuring on the pavement. "Six foot Inside that wall In Mrs. Sapsea." "Not really Mrs. Sapsea?" "Say Mrs. Sapsea. Her wall's thicker, but say Mrs. Sapsea. Durdles taps that wall represented by that hammer, and says, after good sounding: 'Something betwixt us!' Sure enough, some rubbish has been left in that same sixfoot space by Durdles's men!" Jasper opines that such accuracy "is a gift." "I wouldn't have it at a gift," returns Durdles, by no means receiving the observation in good part. "I worked it out for myself. Durdles comes by his knowledge through grubbins: deeD for it. and having it up by the roots when it don't want to come. Holloa you. Deputy!" "Widdy!" Is Deputy's shrill response, standing off again. "Catch that ha'penny. And don't let me see any more of you to-night, after we come to the Travelers' Twopenny." "Warning!" re urns Deputy, having caught the half-penny, and appearing by his mystic word to express his assent to the arrangement. They have but to cross what was once the vintyard belonging to what was once the Monastery, to come Into the narrow black Jane wherein stands the crazy wooden house of two low stories currently known as the Travelers' Two-penny a house all warped and distorted, like the morals of the travelers, with scant remains of a lattice-work porch over the door, and also of a rustic fence before its stamped-out garden; by reason of the travelers being so bound to the premises by a tender sentiment eor so fond of having a fire by the roadside In the course of the day), that they can never he persuaded or threatened into departure without violently possessing themselves of some wooden forget-me-not, and bearing It off.
