RICHMOND, IND

MEITZLER WANTED FOR BIG HOLDUP Former Richmond Man Said to Be Implicated in Saloon Robbery.

HAS HAD A WILD CAREER.

AFTER LEAVING THIS CITY HE IS SAID TO HAVE PARTICIPATED IN HOLDUPS IN SEVERAL SECTIONS OF THE COUNTRY.

While living here he had the reputation of being "wild," but he had a winning personality and made many friends. He was never known to be connected with any operations of a criminal nature while living here. -

closes, just to get in line for chairmanships. A gurprise was created today by a published interview with Lew Ellingham, of Decatur, democratic chairman of the Eighth district, in which he declared his opposition to any attempt to repeal the county local option law. Ellingham says the law should have a fair chance to be tested and that he is against Its repeal. Ellingham has always been counted regular in the party councils, and his declaration in this matter, coming at a time when the party is committed to the enactment of a township and ward local option law, is looked upon as a serious departure from regularity.

George Meitzler of Danville, 111., and formerly a resident of this city, Is said to be Implicated in the sensational holdup affair at Westville, 111., last week, and Is now a fugitive from justice. Meitzler is well known in this city. After leaving here about four years ago, it is stated he soon entered Into a career of crime and at the present time is nothing but a common police character, having dropped every pretense of respectability. It is understood that for some time Meitzler has been operating with a notorious gang of Chicago "stick-up" art

ists and has been the ring leader in several sensational holdups. The crime of which Meitzler Is now suspicioned, is the daring hold-up of a sa.oon at Westville last Tuesday. Three masked men, one said to be Meitzler, entered a saloon In the little town and at the points of their six i

shooters, rifled the cash register of (240 and then calmly went through the pockets of the patrons of the place. Two of the men were captured, but Meitzler has not been apprehended. Last September Meitzler, it Is declared, pulled off a hold-up In.a small Kansas town, but through the influenceof his family, which is one of the best known in Danville, he succeeded in getting out of this ugly scrape. Meitzler, it is also stated, was saved from being sent to the Illinois penitentiary by his family after holding up -a man' at Danville, and relieving him of quite a sum of money. George Meitzler came to this city four years ago and opened up the Empire cigar store. Main street, which was at that time the property of his brother, Joseph-Meitzler. After operating this store for some time it was sold out and then Meitzler left the city.

do not expect to be elected. They

are in the race for another purpose, if the present indications count for anything, and before long there will be developments to prove that, too. These developments will come in the form of trades and promises. One of the candidates will promise the others that they shall have certain appointments as chairmen of committees and in return they will promise to get out of the way and allow him to be. elected speaker. There Is nothing startling about this plan. It is the common, old-fashioned way of doing things in politics and there seems no reason why the demo

crats should not follow the plan this time. For instance, if Representative Honan happens to be the strongest candidate for the place, it would be an easy matter for him to tell the other fellows that he will give them what they wish in the way of appointments if they will get out of the rac This would make it possible for Harry Strickland, of Greenfield to land the chairmanship of the committee on something or other. Representative Wells, of Allen county, could become

chairman of the committee on insurance. Representative J. M. Smith, of Jay county could be chairman of the Judiciary committee, a position he covets, so it is said Representative John B. Faulkner, of Laporte county, could become chairman of the committee on cities and towns perhaps, and he wants that place bo bad he can taste it. Then there is Representative James Garrard, of " Vincennes. He would not run aawy from an offer of chairman of the committee on education. Representative Andrew Jackson

Behymer, of Madison county, might get out of the way in consideration of being made chairman of the committee on public . morals. House Deal Certain. It is . practically certain that some such deal will be made in the speakership contest, and it will not be surprising if a dozen more candidates for the place get into the game before it

tern and do not want a cnange. But they are not ready to defend the present system to the extent of laying down their political lives. They believe in the system and undoubtedly are honest in their belief, but they recognize that if the country as a whole demands a change a change will have to be made. The question is, what shall the substitute be? The reformers will have to evolve some method of procedure that will still allow the nation's business to be transacted. If hasty action should be taken, the house is likely to find the new consition worse than the present.

HOLIDAY TRADE RAS NOW BEGUN (Continued From Page One.)

on the wholesale houses was more Indirect, but it has been felt just the same. The retailers needed renewed supplies, so the whoesalers were called upon. Merchants report the annual holiday trade has begun. It has made an auspicious start, and it is expected the progress to the end will be ended In the last grand rush.

An earnest appeal has been made throughout the country to induce shoppers to do their Christmas trading early. The motive for the appeal is purely philanthropical. It is the season of charity and no charity would be more appreciated by the hundreds of girls and boys laboring late hours, if the patrons would buy early. In some of the larger cities, societies have been organized in the interest of the clerks. Literature has been sent out and the newspapers have taken up the work. It Is pointed out that the cheer of the thousands of shoppers at this season of the year often brings exhaustion to the tired clerks. Boys

carrying bundles and girls wrapping packages or rushing about the floors of the enormous department stores carrying change have been known to fall in their tracks completely worn out by the fatigue of helping others In their efforts to have a pleasant Christmas. The conditions in Richmond are not the same as in some of the larger cities, but every experienced clerk in this county seat knows what the rush of the holiday trade means. Merchants will approve of early shopping and the clerks will rejoice if spared the killing pace at the last. The purchaser will feel better and so will all others, so why not buy early.

ALLISON WILL BE MISSED IN SENATE (Continued From Page One.)

conserving the time of the house. The one thing insisted upon is that it shall not be in the. power of 'one man or half a dozen men to say what measures shall and shall not become law, without any appeal from their decision. It is a mistake to suppose that Speaker Cannon and those associated with him in control of the house organization are indifferent to public sentiment. The law of self preservation, if nothing else, would demand that they heed public sentiment when that sentiment is general and welldefined. The sentiment that now seems universal demanding a change in house proceedure has been of slow growth and has had many ebbs and flows. It is true that Speaker Cannon and those he has called to power are perfectly satisfied with the present sys-
