Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 8. A letter Buppoeed to have been written by Seth M. RIchcreek, a prominent Indianapolis banker, who disappeared from here Beveral months ago, has been given out by Henry A. Miles, a traveling salesman, one of Richcreek's friends. According to the letter Richcreek is located at Johannesburg, South Africa, under the name of Rich M. Smith. In the letter he says he has no hope of returning home, but that he has plenty of money and i3 satisfied where he is. He declares that he is not afraid that any one will come to Johannesburg and recognize him, and that, even if he were recognized, It would make little difference. He says that, shortly after the first suit for receivership for his bank here failed, he went to New York and took a steamer for Rio Janeiro. Before any one in Indianapolis knew that he would not return he had reached Brazil. From Rio Janeiro he sailed to Liverpool. From there he went to Arabia and, after a trip through that country, took a steamer for South Africa. Richcreek was at the head of a large private bank here. After his disappearance it was found that he had left only a small amount of money In the Institution. It was estimated that he was worth $300,000 or $400,000, and that he made away with most of the amount. Miles Is supposed to have obtained his tip regarding Richcreek's location from Jerry Harter, an Indianapolis contractor, who happened to be on the boat with Richcreek going from New York to Rio Janeiro.

COLLEGE PRESIDENT UNDER ARREST Central University Head cused of Libel. AcIndianapolis, Ind., Aug. 8. Tha Rev. John T. Roberts, president of the Indiana Central University, a United Brethren institution at University Heights, was arrested yesterday by Detectives Askin and Duncan on a charge of criminal libel preferred by Hervin U. Roop, dean of the school. The Rev. Mr. Roberts was released on $1,000 bail. He appeared in Police Court this morning. The trouble between the Rev. Mr. Roberts and Dean Roop is said to be an outgrowth of trouble which occurred at the board of trustees meeting in June, when President Roberts resigned his office to take effect in September.

President Roberts "maliciously and libelousry" printed in the Indiana News, a paper conducted for the promotion of Christian education, certain "false and defamatory words." President Roberts in his explanation said he had only published a statement made by a commitee of the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference, charging Dr. Roop with Irregularities in the accounts of the Lebanon Valley College when Dr. Roop was treasurer of that institution.
