RALSTON TtMTS Pf'KKA!. At State Capital. INDIANAPOLIS. IND. Aug 2. Underground politics in the democratic camp in Indiana is taking on varied fo;me. according to well-authenticated reports that are seeping through the censorship. Apparently everything 1 lotely on the Indiana, front but down underneath the hoyo stiil are plnjing the "old arn-.y game" right hero at homo, vhout any of the dangcra attuched to Cue "new urmy g ime" at the n iil front. Apparently one Thomas Taggart Is i cry fi.r It. th liuckrtroiind in democratic politics Just now, but if Tom hasn't lils hand or. the throttle and hU ear to t'ne- ground it Itn't Tom's f ult; r.or that of ar.v of ?i!s frirrds, so thu sto:y g. ..

Rriston is hard at work, according to those, wh-i keep their fingers on political pulses. Mr. Ralsuni is a very determined candidate for the senate, according to this information and is working at th ) job of building his fences every minute. It really looked for a time as if he would have little opposition two years lit nee, when suddenly another wellknown Indianian hose, into sight on the senatorial front. N'w this Indianian if or.a of the -well-known Art'uldexlger family and win n he etarts in to play politics he doesn't stop at fence-bu'ld-ing in Indiana alone, hu builds 'em whereever there's a tit Id that looks like it would grow- anything. Thus he just now is working ovi-i .;nv at Wshington. and through Washington, in lud'ana, it is declared His name is Stephen H. Fleming, formerly of Fort "Wayne and the Indiana state senate. His good friend James H. Fry has just been namtd custodian of the federal building at Indianapolis and collector of customs at that great shipping port. There are those, who are mean enough to nay that the Fry appointment is merely one more move in the little game of Fleming vs. Ralston for the Fnited States senate, and these same folks nay that the same game is going on in democrat i; ranks as far down south as New Albany and Evansviile and es far north as the Tenth, ami Twi-ifth and Thirteenth districts. The llarshall-Fiem.n'g outfit in

Indiana Is determined to defeat Ralston for the rcna'orial nomination and to riibstitute Fleming as the nominee. The fin wcrkti In the nittiation Btlll are under cover but the Fry Incident almost tore the lid off. More will bo heard of the Bltuation.

GHARGES SUSTAINED

Unusual Postmorten Held at Whiting After Decedent Had Hung Himself ; No Proof of Police Brutality. WH1TIN(J. IND.. Aug. 2- In the I't esetice of t -.. undertakers, four physicians, Ch;. f Clay Culilns and Attorney Fitteihofl of Whiting. Deputy Coroner Green, a Times leporter and & party of Mutttfarians from Wlating. a poMmurtini was i.tld yesterday afttriioon on Hie body of Peter Leketos, who ined at Wli.te tiak no nut and I'r.-d street. Whiting, and who on Friday afternoon. July L'S, harigeu lurnself ni the Whii.ing city jail. When the IkmIv as cut down the cause of Ltk' tos' dea':, was t... apparent and ;he cin umatar.i es so piainiy rrianifet,t tliat Coroner Ctf'n did not hesitate to sine the taxpayers the expense of a postmortem and after ma kins the necessary investigation he permitted burial of the deceased. Since the burial last Sattr lay rela tives and friends of the deceased have been causing a commot on in Whiting that has stirred the city from center to circumference. Charges have been' openly made against tne police force that have been very serious in their it lie sa : ;uns. Fiicr.ds of the deceased claimed thjt when Lcketos was arrested he was beaten over the head with clubs, pound-d on the back and sides and otherwise maltreated and abused. The suspicion was openly expressed that the man died of injuries In the police sta'Kui and that in order to conceal the el'f-.cts of their treatment, the officers hung hi m up by the neck with his b rlt strap and reported that he had committed SlllCiJe. Those ni' ii got busy, enlis'ed the- services of Dr. Hale of Fast Chicago, seuied fivm the s-tate board permission to e-bumr- the body and made arrangements with t'oroner Green for a postmortem. The permit was given to l'n-dertaKC-r Hulicr of East Chicago, who took the body from the grave shortly before noon yesterday and soon had it at his undertaking establishment. Mr. Green invited the coroner's physicians from Gary, Hammond. East Chicago and Whiting to attend the post--mort-m. and accordingly the work was observed by Drs. Yarrington. Hoskins ar.d Johns, who rendered such assistan e as was required while Dr. Hale made the examination. The physicians unanimously agreed that the man had received no injuries prior to his hanging. His skull was not fractured, there were no bruise on his body and nothing apparent!- to substantiate the charges that had been made. The tumor has spread htat there was some motive back of the agitation that the man did not commit suicide. It seems that he carried life insurance and that the policy specified that death by suicide within one year from the date of the policy would render it void. If it could have been made to appear to the insurance company that death was caused by injuries, the policy might hive been valuable. During the two or three months prior to the death of Leketos. he and his wife had had considerable trouble over a boarder that had come into the home and who Leketos accused of having alienated her affections. The wife had the husband arrested several times when he came to the house to protest aga'nst the conditions that apparently existed. The last arrest that was made followed one of these visits and police officers say that the man was obstinate and resisted arrest and threw himself down in the street and that his ronfluct was such that he could not be taken to the station without th use of forca. Authorities trust that the postmortem 1 held yesterdiy will put a quietus upon further disturbance. j YET BAFFLES E. CHICAGO (Continued from page one.) E perfect alibi. Notwithstanding ev.-ry effort in the part of detectives and members of the Last Chicago d--partrrer.t, nothing ! has been unearthed that would glva even a remite hint If who committed the crime cr why they did It. ItajehrMeti wa a man who did his duty in sn unoffenslve way. never abusing anyone or arousing enmity in any form. It is not believed that an; one deliberately planned his murder. The theory which haj been most widely accepted is that upon arriving necr his home this morning where he intended to pay his sick wife a brief visit the officer discerned a car approaching that attracted his attention Someone may have been havinn trouble ! Widow Preferred to Meet Death at Home. i "For many years I suffered from stomach trouble. All the doctors , I tried helped me but little.

The party did not stop and Kajchnietz fired to emphasize his authority, probably firing Into the air. The unknown returned the fire and shot his victim straight through the heart. The appearance of the dead man's clothing would indicate that he was tut by the automobile and dragged possibly a couple of rods. His fhoe was torn; the back of his coat was torn and his clothes were all dirt and grime. The bullet entered the body between the third and fourth ribs on the right side, pstssed back and down through the heart and liver aid lodged ne.-.r the spine in the vicinity of the ter'h rib.

Fach one Is keenly aiert tor the lighfest hint that is likely to thtuw any new .Itjit on the mystery. Th rn)ority of citizens, however, fe'l that on account of the very meager information that u available, the killing of t'ii able r,nd popular officer will eer lemuin hid in the archives of mystery.
