CINCINNATI MAN VISITS NOOSIERS ANDUKESTNEM Bank Executive So Favorably Impressed That He Writes About It, Favorable impressions of Indiana are registered by A. M. Hopkins, manager of the real estate department of the Fourth and Central Trust Company, Cincinnati, Ohio # Hopkins writes of a recent visit to the city and State: Like Marco Polo, I have been on my travels. I yearned for snow-capped mountain ranges, hills, rivers, running brooks and a few archipelago; also open spaces and freedom, but being short of time and money, I curbed ambition and took a run to Indianapolis. I don’t think the dwellers in various cities know enough al>out each other. For most of us the city limits is the end of our world. Indianapolis might as well be located in Australia, for all we know about it, and our knowledge of Louisville is confined to tobacco and blue grass belles. Why don't we irJv more? Why Are We Chesty? How do these people of other cities work, and how do they play? In each place, what is the outstanding feature that so fiiis them with pride? Why are they chesty Why does a Cincinnatian that he Wouldn’t live in Cleveland on a bet; and why does the dweller in the shadow of Moses Cleveland thank the good Lord that he is not com pelled to live in Cincinnati? To find out many of these things is to acquire education. And so I, an outsider, had a look at Indianapolis and Indiana. Indianapolis has civic pride, plus, and with reason. She likes herself. She is a good advertiser. She works hard and makes money. She plays hard and is happy. Lew Shank is mayor. Some persons call him a “Hoosier Rube.” Thinking peonle praise him, for the city is well run—well managed. I saw miles of wonderful asphalt pavements—kept in repair. 'Automobile regulations that really regulate and make riding pleasant and safe. Traffic cops who know what they want and how to get it, and this without friction. He Likes It I met men and women who live and talk and think Indiana, and I liked it. t I saw marvelous country clubs with the welcome sign displayed. I travelled for miles along boulevards and inspected municipal golf links, ball grounds, bathing pools, tennis courts, camping sites, all in operation, and everywhere special attion had been given to the children. There was enough happy laughter to elevate one’s soul —a Hymn of Happiness. I did not strike even one mile of what we could call a bad road. I saw sunken gardens, maintained by the municipality—worth seeing. The tomb of James Whitcomb Riley, the blessed, and his gc-ntle spirit seems to hover over the entire State. “The ole swimmin’ hole" with a dozen naked, brown limbed boys, making merry, just as it was set down by Riley. I was shown several other swimming holes, all being mentioned as the exact bp-thing place where the

Hoosier poet secured his inspiration. Whats a pool more or less among friends? Celebrities Pointed Out Nine persons displayed to me the home built by Van Camp of pork and bean fame, an® the score for the Booth Tarkington residence was an even dozen. Why not? Let’s stick by our celebrities. And then out into the country. Miles and miles of gravel roads—a bit dangerous when you do not know about the peculiarities of gravel. Road marking that is the acme of simplicity—information at a glance. Broad acres, good farm houses, fine cattle. Weeds are cut along the highways. Hogs and still more hogs, Indiana's mortgage lifters. Picturesque wheat fields, with the grain in shocks. Thrashing machines in operation, with great stacks of yellow straw. Women folks preparing dinner for the thrashers. Can’t you see it and smell it? Fried chicken, mashed potatoes, cream gravy, string beans, hot biscuits, two kinds of jelly, red raspberries and cream, three kinds of pie, for Indiana is in the pie belt. A roadside spring gushing cold water into a moss grown trough. What a place to cool watermelons. He Saw Tailholt The little town of Tailholt. Riley made it famous. A peaceful spot. A village asleep in the sunshine. Roadside picnics—what happiness! And everywhere a welcome. George Ade, pulling weeds on his farm and planning those fables that begin, 4 Once upon a time.” Chicken farms, with oodles of white meat running about. Most of them operated by Indiana women. People who insist on being hospitable. They like to talk. The- woman who served my breakfast at a roadside inn told me about her rheumatism, and her daughter’s new baby that she, the grandmother, had never seen. She is going to Hillsboro for her rheumatism as soon as the thrashing season is over. We’re all interested, each in the other, or should be if we are human. But why go on? Indiana is a great State and Indianapolis is a wonderful city. Long may the good folks who people her cities and towns cling to their affections; their typically Hoosier ways and their belief .n themselves. As for me, I'm going again. N£W ANIMAL DISCOVERED Sailor Sends Boston Mayor a Mexican Tynat By Time# Special BOSTON, July 30.—Some people call it a Mexican Tynat, and others term it a Coati Mundi, but all agree that it is a peculiar looking beast that is now on its way to the Franklin Park Zoo. That is, those who know anything about the animal. Those who do are few and far between in this part of the country. The animal was shipped to Mayor Curley by James Taylor, an officer in the navy, now in Mexican waters. The creature is said to have characteristics of three distinct animals —the ant-eater, the monkey and the raccoon. It is said not to be a ferocious beast, but little is known about its habits in this part of the world.

BEGIN HERE TODAY John Ainsley. a man ot education and breeding, becomes a master crook —preying- upon other thieves Swede Thomaasen. a brutal murderer, is killed by another crook in Ainsley's apartment. Police search for Ainsley. In the Trevor dining room Ainsley overhears young Frank Tirrell tell his fiancee that he intends to kill himself. Tirrell has robbed the safe of his employer. Phineas Garbon. a speculator. Ainsley gives Tirrell SIO,OOO to make up for the thievery. Going to Carbon's office, they find the employer s body on the floor Garbon has been muredered. And the housekeeper says that Garbon went to his office to see Tirrell. So circumstanial evidence turns toward the innocent Tirrell as the murderer. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY ** J OW many people know that you are Garbon's conflden- - ■ -J tial clerk?”l asked. . “Hundreds, I suppose,” he answered dully. “How many of them are of the temperament that would make you suspect them capable of murder?” “How can I possibly answer that?” he retorted. I nodded. Os course, a boy like this would not be a reader of character. “Do you know any one' who could Imitate your voice?”l asked. “It isn’t hard to do, is It?” he retorted. The shock of the tragedyhad almost stupefied him. “It’s extremely hard,” I told him. “You've been working for Garbon several years. The person whose voice imposed upon him so that he believed it your3 must have been an excellent mimic.” A light flickered in his eyes. “Poganni told me today that he used to be an actor,” he cried. “The handbook man!” * • • Gambelrs are crooked —professional gamblers, that Is. Poganni knew Garbon and his confidential clerk. Os course, a hundred other shady characters might have known the dead man. But only today Poganni bad accepted a wager of SIO,OOO from Tirrell. The sum of money might readily have aroused Poganni's cupdity. It would turn his thoughts upon Garbon and his safe. I had but little time before me.

THE OLD HOME TOWN—By STANLEY

The Celeste sailed at 5. It was after 10 now. I could not spend days, weeks, even months, in investigating the acquaintance of the murdered man. For I must sail. Safety demanded it. But deceny demanded that, no matter what the cost to me, I do not leave this boy In the lurch. I must find the murderer or offer myself to the police as a witness, even tho**gh my credibility be doubtful to them, and even though I must expose my own mode of life, as was inevitable. The telephone book showed that Rafael Poganni lived in Greenwich Village. We left the dead man lying on the floor, took a taxi to Sixth Ave. and Eigthth St. and walked the rest of the way to Poganni’s apartment. A negro elevator man told us that he was at home; and, declaring that we were friends of his, we induced him to carry us upstairs without announcing us over the telephone. As the lift, ascended, Poganni’s door opened. I jammed a revolver against the stomach of the man who opened the door. Tirrell pushed into the room. I heard him cry out in exultation. And as I backed my man into the apartment, over his shoulder I saw Tirrell struggling with another man. The struggle was brief. Tirrell was powerful, and-a savage blow sent his opponent unconscious to the floor. Tirrell turned to me. He pointed to the open door of a bathroom. “Look there! A shirt, the cuffs still bloody. He hasn’t had time to wash it out.” My man almost shrunk physically. “It was him did it,” he wailed. “I didn’t know' he was going to do it.” “It was Harris who did the actual killing, then?” cried Tirrell. All the bewilderment haul left him. He was tense and alert. “So help me, it w'as him,” said Poganni, my prisoner. “Why?” I demanded. “We’ve not be-Bn lucky lately. A ten-thousand dollar bet we won from Mr. Tirrell is the only luck we’ve had. Afterward we lost fifty thousand. We didn’t have the money to make good tomorrow. So Harris pro-

posed robbing Garbon. I called him up and said I was Tirrell. He came down to his off r We waited, hidden in the hall, intil he was halfway through the door, and then we jumped him. But I didn’t know that Harris was going to kill him. We got his key out of his pocket, opened the safe and took the money. But how did you know we done it?” With that gift of legerdemain which is my single legitimate talent, I\took his pocketbook from inside his jacket, I was holding him tightly so that he did not note my action. I palmed the pocketbook and told him to stand against the jvall, with his face toward it. From the pocketbook I took what I expected to find there, a card, which bore his name, and bits ot memoranda.

TIRRELL SENT HIS OPPONENT TO THE FLOOR. “You shouldn’t have left your purse In Garbon’s office,’ I jeered. “Os course, that didn't prove who did the killing, but it sent us here.” “My pocketbook is in my pocket—” he began. Then, his figure sank, and he slipped to the floor in a faint of fear. • * “I’ve no time to yaste,” I said to Tirrell. "Here’s your story. There waa a matter of business—you can easily figure out what it was—that necessitated your telephoning Garbon. His housekeeper, to your amazement, told you that you had already telephoned and made an appointment at the office. Your suspicions were aroused. You raced to the office. You found Poganni’s pocketbook. You raced outdoors looking for a policeman. You ran

The stranger went out ter get a policeman.” I looked around the room. There was a table in its center. I opened a drawer; it was crammed with the loot of Garbon’s safe. turned back to Tirrell. The two men were still unconscious on the floor. “Add your ten thousand dollars to this pile of money. We can’t steal from a man after he’s dead, any more than we could while he was alive. Poganni and Harris will be surprised to learn that there was ten thousand dollars more In their booty than they thought. No one will ever know that you used the money. Tell the police that the bet you made today—it’s yesterday now —was made by you acting for Garbon at his request and with his money.” “It’s a lie,” said Tirrell. “Ought I not tell the truth?” "You have no right to tell the truth; you owe something to Rose. What good will it do to tell the truth? God has saved you for His own reasons. Will you defeat His purpose?” “You saved me.” he protested. “The greatest detective that ever lived would not have been justified In assuming Poganni’s guilt. It was an inspiration, and inspirations come from outside of us. I claim no credit for It. Goodby.” "Godby? Where are you going?” he asked. "To get a policeman. The negro elevator man will testify that I came in with you.” "But -why won’t you come back with a policeman?” he inquired. “Because the police and I are better apart,” I told him. “What do you mean?” he asked. "That I’m a thief,” I said. “Now can you understand why I am willing to part with ten thousand dollars to a stranger? It is because I know what temptation is. I know that only once in a thousand times can one withdraw after one has yielded to temptation. You can withdraw. I know that you will.” “You are the finest man I ever met,” he cried. "You can’t be a thief.” “Ah, but I am,” I said. And I had regained my own jauntiness of manner. “Don’t pity me.” I told him. "And don’t tell the little girl.” "I won’t,” he promised. And he, who had not wept during his own tragedy, shed frank tears at mine. * • * I went downstairs. Excitedly I

Perhaps I had been used to save others in order that I might learn how to save myself. Could I save myself? I, a thief? Wey, in anew land, I would try to find the answer to that question.
