SCANDAL AT SOUTH BEND.

Red Austin Released in Disregard of Governor's Orders. Charges of bribery and corruption are rife at South Bend. For a Ion" time it has been apparent that a cor rupt ring controls the nominati n and election of men in b th politici' parties in that city and in the investigation into the unusual circuni stances surrounding the release frorcustody last week of Red Aus in alias Thomas Edwin Clark, the ki ig of bunko steercrs, it developed that Governor Hanly, on June 27 last, tel egraphed both Sheriff David B.Schaf er and Prosecuting Attorney Geo-gc A. Kurtz that under no circums:ance : should they give Austin his liberty, but-that they should hold him for the Michigan authorities, who wante 1 him on a charge of Dunko steering in Pontiac, that state. As the result of this fact being brought to light, Kurtz and Schafearc the two most talked of men in South Bend, and what is being said about them is not at all in heir favor. Public opinion is becoming so acute in regard to the manner in which the noted crook got away tha it seems certain to develop into a demand that the State step in an ! conduct a rigid investigation. 'Former Prosecuting Attorney Geo E. Clarke, when he called on Governor Hanly on June 23, laid before him the seven methods that Austin has of evading the penitentiary in the various States. The first was to bribe the prosecuting attorney. In this connection Mr. Clarke said he was offered .$5,000 to drop the case. The second was to bribe the judge; the third to bribe the sheriff to permit him to escape; the fourth to have x confederate to appear with counterfeit requisition papers from' another State and then turn Aiutin free after getting possession of him; the fifth to get a low bond and then jump it; the sixth to feign sickness, the seventh to buy off the prosecuting witnesses. The Indianapolis Star calls o:i. Governor Hanly to act at once. It says: "Governor Hanly need not doubt that the people will support him in vigorous action in this matter, even though it may involve a reflection on the judicial department. It is true that he has been subjected to violcn; criticism for his action in the Sherrick case and the West Baden and French Lick gambling scandals, b it there is little room to question that the people were with him, even though th effort was made 'to sh w that there was some unwarranted in terfcrence with the courts. In fact, the courts are not such bogies a? might be imagined. The people understand fully that judges are men and prosecuting attorneys are men, and when they see results that are clearly wrong they are not deterrc ' from criticism by any abstract theor ies of the sanctity of courts "This Austin ma.ter has (level pp ' into a scandal that can not be- ignored.; The gang has been operating in the? State for a numbir of years, an 1 hast i ad a most remarkable imnuin ty from punishment, although member hate repeatedly been in custody. In every case their release has atfacted uihlic suspicion, and it must be said that the attendant circumstances have usually justified the suspicions. It has become a reflection on the whole State, and for the good name of th State it is to be hoped that Govern r Hanly will take steps to see that a full investiga ion of the matter is se cured." Distribute $200,000,000. There will be distributed during the first month of the new year in New York city interest and dividends aggregating over $200,000.000. . This is the largest sum that will ever have been paid out to stock and bond holders in the history of Wall street, and marks the end of one of the most prosperous years in the history of the country. . While the first half of lOOfi was no table for increased distributions to corporate stockholders, through increased or extra dividends resumption of dividends or beginning of div idends ,the second half of the yeawas even more conspicuous in thes? respects. Conservatism has been the -ulejn most of the dividen 1 increases In the majority of cases the incrasej have been within the large surpluses shown after the payment of fixed charges. Folk in New Move On Trusts. Acting upon the theory that hold ing companies are the foundation' of trust evils. Governor Folk proposes to ask legislaton that will bar them from Missouri. This action will be launched first against the North American Ccnjany which has acquired the traction, light, heat and power companies of St. Louis and practically consolidated them. .It wa-, announced Friday that he would pro ceed shortly against this company. Twelve Thousand to the Sta4e James W. Noel of Indianapol i. Wlliam B. , Burborow of Williams port, and Warren Bigler of Wabash, who constituted the committee -.tha investigated the affairs of the state auditor's office during the term of David Sherrick, have figured t t'int a depository for state funds wool 1 net the state an income of at least $12,000 every year from the state treasurer's office. ' A Letter from John W. Parks. To my Businss FriendsThe session of the Lrgisla'urc wil! begin January 10th.

Pay of Congressmen. In a special interview at Washington for the Chicago Record Herald a dozen congressmen expressed them selves for an increase of salary from the present amount of $5,000 to $7,iuo against one congressman Kiefer who said the present salary was enough. From Indiana, Jesse Overstreet of the Indianapolis district said it was not enough and that it cost much more to live in Washington than at home. Now Jesse is and has been chairman of the congressional committee over the rural free delivery system for several years and has persistently held out to the postal authorities that rural mail men were paid to the limit at $720 per year and has defeated the adoption by the department of less stringent .treatment in pay and otherwise to these men. Seems to me this is a straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel process. Jesse isnH selfish for nothing is he? It is in order for some rur

al mail man to suggest to the gentleman that if it costs less to live at home he'd better quit. You know that is what they always tell mail men and I've heard our soft footed, gentle voiced postmaster say it more than once. However nobody has reported Mr. Overstreet as intending to resign. He is like our own congressman, he would spend twice the term salary to get back if the living was twice as .'high; and by the way it looks now, even in thr face of the late returns as if the gentleman was going to try to make us prove it two years from nowWell let him come ahead, we've got the goods. Among others who were interviewed was Speaker Cannon who said it cost him twice his salary to live each year since he became speaker. Mr. Carotin is almost a millionaire and has been in congress sixteen years and was reelected in November for two years more, I don't know where he got his money. Maybe it floated up the river to him on a mill-stone. L. N. Littauer of New York said it cost hjm three times his salary to live each year. Champ Clark of Missouri, said it cost him his salary and $700 besides. Champ' takes to the lecture stand and deals out sarcasm at so much per 'casm' for the seven hundred. Congress last week voted down a bill to raise their own salaries but they expect the senate to pass th bill which will not make it lookso bad. "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." F. M. McCrory. Negro Orator Triumphs. Hy a very narrow margin, Samuel Taylor of Indianapolis, a colored graduate of the Shortridge high school, won first place in the DeFauw oratorical contest at Greencastlc Saturday night. Four of six judges gave him first, and the total of his markings was tnirteen. William Evans of Greencastle received only two firsts, but the total of his grade was twelve. Although the total figures would have given Evans a victory, the state and interstate constitutions award first pkicc to any man receiving four of the six firsts, and on this provision the colored orator won. Funeral of Frank M. Axe. The remain.vof Frank M. Axe arrived here from Morocco Sunday afternoon at 12:48 -over the Grand Trunk and were taken to the Christian church, where the funeral was held at 1:30 o'clock conducted by Rev. O. A. Bower of Morocco. The pallbearers were Fred Joel, Dr. D. D. Rose, James Bell, Charles Arnold, Harvey Patrick and John Louderback. Interment in Maplewood. Val paraiso Vidette. Favors Other Kind of Drive. Forfc Wayne Journal Gazette: "We have 'wolf drives' in Indiana. Why not have a 'slot machine drive?' Sher iff Grice might start his men out to round up the road houses and country saloons for the robber machines, while Superintendent Ankenbruck and his men are making a round of the saloons and haunts in the city where the slot "machines are set up to rob the young ind old. The law says these slot machines should be seized and destroyed. Let us have a roundup."
