CLEVER SWINDLE IS WORKED HERE A Stranger Takes Name of M. C. Henley and Gets $50 Worth of Goods. ROYCE COMPANY, VICTIM COLLECTOR FOR THE INDIANAP0LI8 FIRM COMES TO CITY TO COLLECT BILL AND FINDS HE IS "BUNCOED."

By taking the name of M. C. Henley and ordering goods sent to this city, a - worked a very clever swindi e Royce Electrical Com pany, of Indianapolis, early this month, and Is now ahead of the game by about 50 while the Royce people will lose that amount in supplies. The stranger who worked the trick on the I"fl'anapolls njrm appeared here ab' he first of May and went to the ;e of the Henley Roller Skate Works. He informed the clerks that his name was M. C. Henlev and that in order not to confuse the mall which might arrive for him, he asked that any letters from the Royce Electrical Company, of Indianapolis, be forwarded to him at a certain hotel In Pittsburg. Letters Were Forwarded. This request was granted and the bogus Henley took his leave. Nothing more was heard of him, until about a week later, when several letters from the Royce Co. were reecived here and according to th request of the stranger they were forwerded to Pittsburg. Prom Pittsburg they were returned to Richmond, unclaimed and here the real M. C. Henley opened them. He found that he was charged with nearly $50 worth of electrical . supplies, including light bulbs and other fixtures. Investigation showed that the goods had been ordered from here and consigned on the interurban to M. C. Henley, Richmond, Ind. At the station the package was taken by the stranger, who has not been seen since. Collector Visits City. A collector for the Royce Co., came to Richmond last week looking up the case. It was snown clearly to him that the company which he represents was buncoed by a clever swindler and the loss will not be made up by the real M. C. Henley. A bill also received from a livery barn for a carriage which was hired and charged to "M. C. Henley." Mr. Henley thinks that the stranger makes a practice of going about over the country and working his game In different cities, using the names of persons who would be apt to buy from such flrmB as the Royce Company. GASOLINE IS GOING UP Those Who Own Automobiles and Others Who Use It Wonder When Ascension will End.

MAYOR MUST DO HIS DUTY Ministers Take Action - Relative to Enforcement of Law in State's River Town. Palladium Special. Evansville, Ind., May 22. The ministers of Evansville, In a secret meeting, passed resolutions calling upon Mayor John W. Boehne to enforce the laws In this city. It is understood that the resolutions denounced Sunday baseball and Sunday theatres, as well as the open saloons. When Mayor Boehne went into office he announced that the 11 o'clock closing law would be strictly enforced, and this has been done. No effort has been made, however, to close the saloons on Sunday. The ministers will make an earnest effort toward enforcement of the laws and one of them said today that Mayor Boehne would be asked to do his duty, and if he refused his resignation would be demanded. All of them, however, refuse to state what steps will be taken against the mayor, if he fails to close the town on Sunday.
