LABELS DOLEFUL TUNE WGEE BLUES IN GUEST S HONOR Sergeant’s Call Surprises Negress, Who Plays for Him After Her Arrest.

“The Sergeant McGee Blues.” the most mournful of all the multitude of musical blues inflicted on the long-suffering people was given its first public rendition today by Maggie Nlmnis, negress, 2127 Sheldon street, just before she started on a little jaunt to the police station to be slated for “blind •ger" operations. Sergeant McGee, of the police department, made a call upon Maggie. The call was in the nature of a surprise party, and in the hurry to arrange the room for her guests Maggie upset a stove, in which fortunately there was no fire, and smashed a large bottle which, from the odor emanating from the wreckage, probably contained “white mule ’ of super-klcki' g ability. This presumption was furtotr strengthened by the discovery of another bottle containing some of the liquid lightning. After everything had quieted down Maggie seated herself at the piano and began to play sad, lugubrious funeral music. “What is that you are playing, Maggie?" Sergeant McGee asked her, “Them's the 'Sergeant McGee Blues,*” was the doleful answer. Maggie is a sister of the negro who was found guilty of shooting and killing Lee Stringer, a railroad detective, more than a year ago. and sentenced to a term In the Indiana State Prison at Michigan City. Two cousins, with the same name, John Rogers, proprietor of a grocery at 43 South West street, were arrested by Sergeant Winkler today on a “blind tiger" charge, after a lottle of “white mule” had been found in the rear room of the grocery. A similar charge was placed against Edward Bickers, proprietor of a livery stable at 416 West Maryland street. A bottle of the forbidden stuff was found, together with a whisky glass, in bis place, police say. “TAKEN ABACK” NAUTICAL TERM.

BRIGHTWOOD TO WAGE FIGHT TO PROTECT HOMES Civic League Opposes Plan to Erect Commercial Buildings Among Dwellings. Immediate action by the city plan commission to restrict the erection of commercial and manufacturing buildings in residence section is being urged today by members of the Brightwood Civic League, following reports a building permit has been Issued for a store in n Brightwood street where there are nothing bnt homes. This is one of the things which the plan commission will take care of in zoning the city. The commission does not expect to have a zoning ordinance ready to present to the city council for at leaßt six or eight months, due to the tremendous amount of preliminary surveying and Investigation which must be done to make the plan fit the entire city. Robert H. Whitten of Cleveland, the commission's expert consultant. Is spending from ten to fifteen days out of each, month directing the preliminary study. An ordinance to prevent business and factory buildings from being erected in residence sections without the written sanction of most of the property owners has been pending In the city council for several weeks. This was designed by its backers to take care of the situation until the plan commission is ready to act. The statements of some city officials In the past Brightwood does not get street improvements because the property owners are opposed to paying the cost, was decried at a meeting of the Civic League Wednesday evening. Property owners living in Brightwood strongly are in favor of all improvements, speakers said. The opposition comes from persons living elsewhere who have bought Brightwood property for speculation, it was said. The league has indorsed selection by the board of park commissioners of the site for a small park and playground at Twenty-Fifth and Olney street.

BANK ROBBERY SUSPECT HELD IN KANSAS CITY Joe Miller, Wanted for Alleged Part in Local Job, Caught on Mysterious Tip. Joe Miller, who Is wanted in Indianapolis as a suspect In the robbery of the East Tenth Street branch of the Fletcher Savings and Trust Company some time ago, In which five bandits obtained $33,000 was arrested yesterday In Kansas City, Mo., according to local detective authorities. Miller was arrested when he and two other men 'ad driven to a house which had been raided on an anonymous “tip” three men who had earlier in the day held up, shot and robbed a bank messenger of $17,000 on a busy corner in Kansas City (Kan.) were there. Two hours before the local bank robbery took place, a telegram was received from Cincinnati authorities saying that the driver of a Buick automobile, license number 115534, Indiana 1922, was seen acting suspiciously In Cincinnati, and asking Indianapolis detectives to investigate the ownership of the car aud the character of the owner. Inquiry at the office of the secretary of State showed the license for the car with that number had been Issued to a Joe Miller, giving his address as 3147 North Capitol avenue. It was found a Joe .Miller never had lived at that address. However, the certificate of title and other papers had been mailed there. Attached to the certificates of title was •n Invoice of sale from the Hiatt Motor Company of Kansas City (Kan.) The local authorities communicated with Kansas City and requested Miller and whoever was found with him be apprehended and held for Indianapolis detectives. A man giving his name as Ray Broom was arrested with Miller will bo brought to .dlanapolls to answer the charge of frn. dently obtaining a certificate of title aud an effort will be made to have Broom extradited and brought here. Substantiation of the theory the bandits who robbed the Indianapolis bank escaped to Cincinnati is the fact S4OO worth of Liberty bonds and caps, later identified as those worn by the holdup men, were found in a sack near Shelbyvllle, which la on the route to Cincinnati. A Buick automoble also was used n the local •‘Job.” Miller said to be a police character In Kansas City, Kan., but he has never been convicted of a felony, according to Information received by the Indianapolis detectives. Detective Sergeant McMurtry left for Kansas City to assist In the prosecution of the case against Miller and to aid, if possible, In recovery of any of the loot obtained in the robbery here. The license number of the automobile seen In Cincinnati and that of the car which Miller was driving when arrested are Identical, police say. i How charming you look.
