found, on Jls person, which Racke had succeded in passing that evening. "t

You Have, the jGoodaOa Me." "Its all up with me," said Racke to

Chief Martin as he was placed In the automobile with-. bis. daughter- "I guess

ou have got the goods' on me."

His daughter's-face, was pale and she

shat in the automobile as a statue and

refused to say a word until Chief Martin asked her to direct, the way to their

home which is situated in a lonely woods in Hosford Park at the- ;xtreme south end of Gary, This she refused to do at first but after they had proceeded some distance she pointed out the way along the dark road. .. ,

So Cietv at KafKt'a 110m. ---I year.

It was nearly midnight when, the

police officers and the alleged counter-

feiters reached Racke's house. - Al.

though . an - hour's searoh was made in

the one and. one half . story . frame house, in basement and. attiCj ri, trace of the eoln dies, or other counterfeiting paraphernalia could be . found. The

house was locked and, Racke and his

daughter., were brought back .to-Gary

where, they w-ere locked up. Miss Racke being placed in a cell in the women's department of the jail. Chief Martin has bad several - interviews with her

since but she refuses to divulge any

thing, but maintains that sho and her

father are Innocent. On the other hand

while Racke has made no confession he

seems to think that the police have sufficient evidence to send him to

prison. He claims that while placing

a new floor in a chicken house he found a large tin can containing the counter

feit half dollars, and had succeeded -n passing all but the few that remained

hen he was arrested. The police

however give no credence to his story.

Ha Served Time In rlaon.

The evidence against Racke Is more

than convincing that he is guilty. A few years ago Racke was arrested in

New i York on a charge of counterfeit

Ing and was sentenced to ten. years In

the state penitentiary at Stillwel'

Minnesota. He served six' years of his

time and hen was pardoned by. the governor, and immediately came to

Hosford Park where he has lived ever

since. His son, John Racke was ar

rested two years ago in 1908, at the

time secret service operatives swooped

down on the Preedem gang at Ilors ford Park and arrested John and Ed ward Preedem, John Racke and secur

ed the counterfeit dies and other spuri

ous coin, paraphernalia. Racke's son Is

now serving time in the federal prison atJFort Leven worth, , Kansas.

Racke claimed . last night that the

government secret service men did not find the Preedem gang's counterfeiting machines but when asked where they were and how he knew, he refused to answer.,.,'.' ...... . .. ,

Same Year aad Denomination, Chief Martin is of the opinion that

Racke was manufacturing the counterfeit coin with the same machine as the Preedem gang used. . A comparison tf

the two coins now in the hands of thi police shews that they" are identical, in regards to weight, color and denomination. - Both are stamped 1907. , la Ohert nf Pity. . Racke Is an obect .of pity, and he Is treated with - the upmost courtesy by the police officers. When a Times' re

porter was allowed to see him In the.

ail room this morning the old man was walking up and down the corridor, and it could be seen, that he was laboring under a strain of nervous tension. He

is 63 years old, although he walks with an erect step. He Is about 5 feet and 10 inches tall and his haft, wnich covers his head in abundance, is streakea with grey. He Is fairly good looking, and shows marks of refinement.' His clothes, although plain, are , neat nd clean. His daughter resembles him very much, being tall and handsome. -Make A nather Search. .Yesterday afternoon Chief Martin made another search of the Racke premises at Hosford Park in an effort

TIMES' BtREAU,

AT STATE CAPITAIIndianapolis. Ind., April 10. Senators Phively. and Kern have decided to keep their fing?ers out of the Republican patronage pie jn this state and to let the Republicans fight it out among themselves. There is such a thing as "Senatorial courtesy" at .Washington, and' these two senators might avail themselves o'f it and, thus make It embarassing for the Republicans,' but tTiey have announced that they will not do so. .. It Is expected that the President will make some postofllce. appointments for Indiana within the next few days, and

It is in this connection that the senatorial cBurtesy" might come in. These

appointments must go to the Senate for

ratification. The Senate is Republican and Jhe.Democrats are In the minority, but as a matter of senatorial courtesy if , the Senators from the state . for which-the appointments are made object or find fault with.. the selections the Senate, as a matter of courtesy.

sometimes holds up the nominations or

rejects them entirely. jBut . Senator Kern, however, says. $ie regards the patronage matter in Indiana as a purely Republican trouble just now, and he proposes to let them fight it out among themselves. . And he Is quoting Senator Shively in the same light. Senator Kern says that If any person will file charges against any postmaster or other government - offi

cial in . Indiana . the .Indiana senators will see to it that the charges are given a full investigation, and that appointments are held up until they are disposed of, but that unless charges are filed they will , not take any hand in

the fight. The , parties making the

charges would have. to make out a good

case to prevent confirmation of the appointments, and it is not often, that

anyone cares to go quite that far. , Tne case in which this position of th

Indiana senators w-as defined was that from Peru where H. P. Loveland, the

present. . nostmaster, and John F.

Uwronte are engaged in a hard fight

for the place.

to locate the counterfeiting dies, but without avail. Racke was taken along, but refused to tell where the dies are. He asked Chief Martin that he might be allowed to take his clothes with him, as, he said, he never expected to go back to his home again. 'Its all up with me,", he said to Chief Martin, "and that's all there Is to It. ; My past record is bad, and I canhot expect any leniency. ; Although you have not found any counterfeiting dies, the fact that I was passing tbe bogus money is enough to convict me. ; Wants to Go for Ufe. r . "And when X go back to prison, I want to go there for life. .Not, two, three, five or ten years. The "last time 1 1 was in prison it ruined my health, and it has taken me four -years to regain it. I might as' well die in prison, because when you 'have, been in the counterfeiting business the temptation is too strong. We can make about $10 per day in the counterfeiting business, and the temptation to make money so easily is too great." Honse la Bis Forest. The scene of the Racke home at

Hosford park is situated In a blg foresi

a mile away from the main . Crown Point-Gary road. It II a one story frame house, situated but a few feet away from the Preedem house, . , in which the famouse Preedem gang were arrested during 1908. Around the Racke

house and yard is a high six-foot wood

en fence, guarded by a strong gate, in In the rear of the small garden and chicken yard Is a half a dozen chicken

houses, and in one of these. Racke claims he found the can of counterfeit

money. . . ,. ,., heT house ..contains four rooms,

neatly furnished, and, a small ladder leads to an attic above, in which was

found, a small bed, chairs and. tables

on which the bogus money might have

been manufactured. . , t.

Chief Martin will notify the govern

ment officials today and it Is expected

tney win be in Gary today, te take .up the,.ca6e. ., A further search of the

premises may he made today.
