THEY WOULD BE DETECTIVES

Women in Quest of Appointment Mob Mayor of Intlanapolis. Indianapolis, Nov. 17.—-TWenty-twc women, the majority of them young and unmarried, but several the mothers of two or three children, applied to Mayor Shank for positions on the police force as detectives. The mayor had offered to appoint twt> of the po- . lice matrons to act as detectives, but they declined, and notice of this caused the rush to his office. The idea of appointing women detectives grew out of the supposed murder of Dr. Helen Knabe and the inability of the male members of the department to find the murderer. Suggestions from a number of women that female detectives would be better equipped in such cases than males, led the mayor to suggest such* appointments. But the rush to his office was so great that he slipped out by a back door and told his secretary to send all inquirers to the police superintendent.

UNEXPECTEDTURN IN PACKERS' CASE

Wilkerson Moves to Quash Habeas Corpus Writs. QUESTION OF JURISDICTION United States’ Counsel See Only an Attempt of Defendants to Balk Trial and Secure Further Delay. _

Chicago, Nov. 17. An unexpected turn was given the habeas corpus proceedings before Judge Kohlsaat of the United States circuit court by a coup executed by the attorneys for the government. The case was brought for the release of nine of the ten packers indicted for the violation of the Sherman anti-trust law.

The move by the government caused a radical change in the proceedings before the court. Instead of hearing the question before him, being the constitutionality of the criminal section of the Sherman anti-trust law. Judge Kohlsaat found himself obliged to determine whether his court had jurisdiction to issue a writ of habeas corpus in the criminal case against the packers. This point itself involved two other questions—whether the review of questions similar to those raised in the demurrer of the packers before Judge Carpenter debarred Judge Kohlsaat from passing upon them and whether the nine packers had been legally surrendered by their bondsmen or had ever been subjected to restraint. The stage was set for what promised to be one of the most important legal struggles in the history of the country. The array of counsel for the combatants was prepared to fight to the bitter enas.

United States Senator W. S Kenyon of lowa, who was a “government trustbuster,” at the beginning of the proceedings figainst the packers, and Pierce Butler of St. Paul, who engineered the famous “flour suits,” lent their aid to the government attorneys. The future of the pending trial of the packers set for next Monday depended on the action Judge Kohlsaat would take in the habeas corpus case. According to counsel for the defepdants, if Judge Kohlsaat sustained their contentions and granted the writ, the case brought against the packers by the government would collapse and the packers go free. If the court refused to interfere with the order under which they were released from the jurisdiction of the district court by the habeas corpus proceedings, the government coqld appeal to the supreme court and have determined the validity of tae act. If he quashed the writ, the packers could pray a similar appeal;

INDICT SHIPPERS AND RAILWAY MEN

Officials of B. & 0. and Lehigh Roads involved. REBATING IS CHARGE MADE Chicago Men Accused of Buying Goods in Europe and Accepting Back Payment from Companies Mentioned. New York, Nov. 17. The federal grand jury in that city has filed thirteen indictments accusing officials of the Baltimore and Ohio and Lehigh Valley railroads and seven members of shipping firms of rebating.

The indicted men are Thomas J. Jarvis, vice president, and Blood, freight traffic manager, of the Lehigh, and Robert B. Ways, foreign freight agent of the B. & O. Mr. Jarvis and Mr. Blood went before Judge Martin in the criminal branch of the United States circuit court as soon as they heard of the indictments. They pleaded not guilty and were bailed in $5,000 apiece by the United Fidelity and Guarantee company before Commissioner Shields. Mr. Way’s plea of not guilty, made by his lawyer, also was accepted.

The shipping men indicted are Jules E. Bernard of Bernard, Judae & Co.; Maurice Ascher, of Gallagher & Ascher; Oscar F. Kosch, trading as Chas. D. Stone & Co.; Albert E. eraser, president of the American Shipping company; August Bontoux, president of the International Forwarding company, and George W. Sheldon and Henry W’. Ackhoff, president and vice president of George W. Sheldon & Co. All the indicted shippers live in Chicago. The indictments are said to be unprecedented because all of the merchandise involved in the alleged rebating were shipped from Europe. It is charged that foreign agents of the railroads arranged with foreign agents of the shipping companies to grant a 10 per cent rebate if goods to be sent to American cities were billed over the Baltimore and Ohio or the Lehigh. Some time after the goods reached their destinations in this country the railroads, it is alleged, made the 10 per cent rebate. The stuff on which the alleged rebates were given range from linen to nutmegs. District Attorney Wise said he had no idea of the amount of cash involved.

GENERAL NEWS.

BOISE, IDAHO—Governor James H. Hawley of Idaho gave out a signed statement addressed to the people of Idaho, in which he condemns the action of President Taft in granting a pardon to Clarence W. Robnett. Robnett was bookeeper and clerk in the Lewiston National bank of Lewiston, Idaho. He was convicted of embezzlinfi funds of the bank, and was sentenced in the federal court at Idaho Springs to ten year’s Imprisonment. He never entered upon service of his sentence. “I feel that the pardon of Robnett is a fitting sequel to the proceedings in the United States court during the last four years, while the special assistants to the United States attorney general have been running the cases in which the United States have been interested with a high hand, regardless of justice or decency,” the statement sets forth.

WASHINGTON—The staid old supreme court of the United States has the members of the bar on the run. It all results from a reform that is “reforming.” Instead of hearing argument in only seventy-five cases before the Christmas holidays, as was done last year, the court promises to have presented to It before the Chirstmas recess this year twice that number. Indications are that the court will dispose of half as many more cases this year as it,did last year. Lawyers with cases to be heard are being caught unawares and many are rushing forward briefs now that they expected to submit during the fainter.

ROME, ITALY— It is stated that the United States cruiser Chester was sent to Tripoli to take on board the American consul, John Q. Wood 1 . In consequence of Turkish reports that the capture of the town was imminent Wood refused to leave, although he previously had arranged to visit his family at Milan. He has assured the state department at Washington that Tripoli is calm and foreigners are not endangered.

BERLIN —A public and a semiofficial rebuke has been administered to Crow'n Prince Frederick William through an inspired telegram from Berlin published in the Cologne Gazette. This confirms the report that Emperor Wiliam reprimanded his son for having openly demonstrated his approval of the attacks on the government’s Moroccan policy and the bellicose utterances in the reichstag Thursday.

CONSTANTINOPLE —The acting governor of Smyrna has telegraphed that thirty Italian warships of various types have been sighted off the island of Carpathus, which is northeast of Crete. Turkey has notified the powers through their ambassadors here that in event of Italian aggression in the Aegean sea the Porte Will be compelled to expel all Italians from Turkey.

MEXICO CITY, MEX.— At the suggestion of President Madero and sanctioned by all the members of his cabinet, congress will be requested to abolish the office of vice president and to enact a law providing for the election of president by direct vote of the people instead, of using the electorate system as Is now done.
