COPS STATION NEXT DOOR TO STICK-UP JOB Si foslice Quarters Adjoin Scene of Third Daring Robbery— Quartet Escapes. ‘BIKE’ OFFICER ON DUTY Four bandit* held np and robbed the White Rose gasoline filling station at Maple Road boulevard and Ruckle street last night, and escaped In an automobile afer taking $40.50 from the cash drawer. Practice makes perfect and the four young automobile stlck-nps who have held up three gasoline and filling stations In less than a week are becoming expert. Efforts of the police to capture them have been' futile, although last night the officers were close when the quartette committed the hold-up. KgefT DOOR TO station*. ''**The filling station Is located next door to a fire engine house, which Is also used ■s a police substation. Bicycle Officer Hansford was on duty at the fire atatlon. The only clew the police have Is that the thieves used a red automobile, which the police believe was a stolen car. Leon Monroe, 23 North Gray street, was working in place of Paul Rouch, 23 North Gray street, the regular night man at the White Rose filling station. A big red automobile lrove up to the station at 10 o’clock and three men got out and covered Monroe with revolvers and backed him Into the office of the filling station. They then seized $40.50 from the cash drawer but overlooked $4 in small change. They also stole a revolver. Getting back Into the automobile they drove south on Ruckle street and escaped. FIREMAN SEES HOLD-I'PS LEAVE. Fred Meyers, a fireman at No. 28 fire house, next door, saw* the men drive away, but did not know that they had committed a hold-up. The police believe the four men are the same who Friday night entered the Standard Oil Company's filling station at Thirtieth and Meridian streets, forced the man In charge to open a safe and cash drawer and took about sllO. On Saturday night two men attempted to hold up the Standard Oil Company's filling station at 1001 East Washington street, but were frightened away by another automobile approaching the station. The two bandits, who were masked, told the filling station man there they were the same men who the night before had robbed the station on North Meridian street. The bandits’ car outdistanced the police car on that occasion, disappearing when it turned north at Highland avenue and Washington street. STORE TIIIEE HtJRI.S BRICK.

WALKER BOOKS GAUL FOR SUMMER Gipsy Smith Aids Vaudeville—Ouija Board Acts

After long negotiation it has been arranged that George Gaul will play with the Stuart Walker company this summer. This will be Mr. Gaul’s first appearance in Indianapolis since early in the summer of 1919. For the last two years Mr. Gaul has plaped with George Tyler. Last winter in New York he made a sensation as the villain In “Big Game.” In this part the audience liked him so well that It was not satisfied when the hero won the lady away from him. Later Mr. Gaul appeared in the leading role in “The Ouija Board,” In which he played opposite Regina Wallace, another member of the Walker organization this season. Early this season Mr. Gaul was featured player in "The Lady of the Lamp,” which ran during the autumn and winter at the Republic Theater. Recently it was announced that Mr. Gaul was to appear in Max Marcin's new piece, "The Night Cap,” which was evidently a mistake. Mr. Gaul will appear in the first attraction of the Stuart Walker company, which begins its summer season at the Murat on Monday, May 2. -|- -|- -ICROOKS AND OCIJA BOARD FIGURES IN ALHAMBRA MOVIE. Two crooks and a ouija board manage to create a lot of fun and excitement in “Straight Is the Way,” a comedy drama which will hold the screen at the Alhambra Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Ethel Watts Mumford Grant-wrote the story and evolved somthing new In the way of a “crook” play, though In this instance the “crook” element is so lightly done that there is nothing at all melodramatic or depressing jn the picture. The scenes are laid in a small town on Long Island whither two New York cracksmen go in search of plunder. By chance they come in contact with a widow and her charming niece who fear that a local loan shark is Just about to foreclose a mortgage on their home. When the crooks learn the circumstances and discoverer that the women as a last resort are consulting with a ouija board in hopes that it will disclose the location of buried treasure in time to forestall the mortgage foreclosure, they determine to help the women out. Their rather extraordinary, but effective, methods bring them far greater success than they had anticipated and incidentally they have it forcibly brought home to them that “straight is the way” to love, honor and happiness. The leading roles are in the hands of Matt Moore, George Parsons, Gladys Leslie and Mabel Bert. ON* VIEW TODAY. “Apple Blossoms," one of the successes of the season, will open a threeday engagement at English's tonight with the same cast of principals who appeared In the play in New York City. Other attractions on view today include: “Irene,” at the Murat; big-time vaudeville, at Keith's; vaudeville and movies at the Lyric, Loew's and Broadway; musical comedy at the Rialto; musical extravaganza at the Park; “The Greatest Love,” at the Colonial; “Scrambled Wives,” at the Circle; “The Gilded Lily.” at the Ohio; “The County Fair,” at Mister Smith’s; “The Witching Hour," at the Isis, and “The One-Man Trail,” at the Regent. -!- -!- -IEYANGELIST TO APPEAR AT BENEFIT PERFORMANCE.

Keith's Friday afternoon during the regular matinee, which will be In the nature of a benefit for the National Vaudeville Artists, Ine.

TWO FREED OF THEFT CHARGE Employes Using State Truck Handled Privately Owned Coal. Garland Brown and P. L. Prather, Statehouse employes, have been found not guilty of stealing coal from the State of Indiana, as charged in an affidavit. The decision was made late yesterday by Judge James A. Collins of the Criminal Court after the case was continued in order tow ascertain of Custodian Roscoe Schultz if he had any “111 feeling” toward the men at this time. Brown and Prather claimed that Mr. Schultz had no “ill feeling” toward them, as the loss of the coal had been made good. The affidavit charged that the men were guilty of stealing coal from the State of Indiana, but the evidence showed that the coal was privately owned by Schultz and other Statehouse employes who bought the coal under a pooling arrangement. Although the coal In question was privately owned, a truck owned and operated by the State of Indiana and employes paid for by the taxpayers were used in hauling the coal. The men didn't steal the coal from the State of Indiana, the court held. So Brown, and Prather were found not guilty and were discharged. For sometime, Henry Kramer, a Statehouse employe, has been active in the

must pay for this extravagance. We have got to be satisfied with less show and pretense and a moderation of coat or make up our mlndß to bear the burden of the expense of taxation. “We have two methods suggested in cur present tax reforms and in amendments to the State constitution. First, the mehod named by he amendment to be submited to the people merely providing that the Legislature shall adopt some method of taxation. This Is a very open doorway with no safeguards placed thereabout. We have to take it for granted, under this method, that the Legislature will act wisely and fairly and not take advantage of the opportunity offered.” Jacob P.
