Now you can see that I'm really in earnest about this Limerick Idea of mine. But 1 find that I’m badly outclassed as a Limerieker in this city of Indianapolis I forgot that Indiana is the State of poets and that most Hoosier babies start rhyming even before they can say their ABCs. These Limericks of mine are just apple pie for the James Whitcomb Rileys of Indianapolis and vicinity. But that's all right, you go ahead and finish off my Limericks in real style and I’ll gladly

Eleanor Now Knows That There Is a Santa

By Time* Uprrittl COLI'MIiHS. Ohio, Nov. 26.—Little Eleanor lleslin, 3, had her faith restored in Santa Claus today. When Eleanor's mother overheard a neighbor child tell her daughter that Santa was “just your Mom and Pop,” she resolved to demonstrate that Santa Claus is a reality. Tilings were breaking tough for the Heslins and Mrs. lleslin decided that if Eleanor got any Christmas presents they would have to be stolen. Mingling with the crowds of more fortunate shoppers Mrs. lleslin “lifted” a baby doll. She was just leaving when ;i clerk called to her.

After the present Inw was passed Weir said an opinion was obtained from Albert Raker, attorney for tHe school hoard, who stated, according to Weir, that he doubted whether the law applied to Indianapolis, hut advised that the hoard comply with it. rather than to take the matter to court and then attempt to have it amended hy t lie* Eegislature.

ACTIVITIES OF COURT IN IRVINGTON GIVEN AIRING Threats of Arrest Made Against Bainbridge, Greens burg and Decatur Citizens, According to True Bills. T. TL Rainey, Irvington justice of peace; A. M. Howard and Joseph O'Brien, constables in Rainey’s court, were indicted today by the Marion county grant! jury on charges of blackmail and conspiracy. The charges result, from a recent state-wide drive against alleged violators of the workmen's compensation act whereby How ard and his deputies brought numerous citizens from other parts of the State into Rainey’s court.

The grand Jurors charge the de fendant** (••inspired to extort $34 ..' from Frank Gardner of Baitib, .dg*?, Ind..

It is charged they threatened arrests in attempts to evilect $21.56 and s44.*.<> from Arnold. Howard has been in jail since Sept. 27 when he and four deputies were arrested by Investigator Gi.iude M. Worley on an affidavit charging blackmail. Judge J ,ms A. Collins fixed bonds at $3,000 each. According to Prosecutor William H Reiny, who ha* collected affi davits from a number of small ern plovers in various parts of the State who were visited bv the constables, the persons selected were given their choice of mu!■**'” exp* v.* ti to Indianapolis or of raying the constable th* minimum fine and cos; on the spot. This was illegal, according to Remy. Records Are Seized When Worley arrested the constables, he seize! a truck load of records, fil" cases, city directories and telephone books in Rainey's office. Worley said the defendants had marked nearly 100.000 persons in the State to be visited with a warrant for their arrest on charges of not having workmen's compensation Insurance. He also said there was some evidence that an insurance companymay have investigated the drive. Howard denied this. Rainey and Howard achieved notoriety in 1923 through a holt-salt* drive on delinquent dog taxes. H. A, CROOKE DIES Veteran Nordyke A Merman Employe Is Taken.
