The following la a list of the banks individuals and Arms affected by the peculations of Emmett Druley, the young New Garden township farmer, who has been missing ' since last Wednesday night: First National bank, Richmond, $600 on a note to which was forged the name of William Toney, grandfather of Mrs... Emmett Druley. George Meyers, farmer Signer of a note of $611, held by the Citizens bank of Lynn, Ind. Druley's name also appears on thiB note as joint signer with Meyers. Fountain Bank, Fountain City $2,400 on a note to which was forged the name of Edward Druley, father; of Emmett Druley. " Williamsburg, Ind., First National bank $2,100 on a note to which was forged the name of William Toney and $500 on a personal note of Emmett Druley. Dickinson Trust Co., Richmond No statement issued by this bank, but it.1 is reported that the institution held $400 personal note of Druley's and other notes to the value of $1,400, the latter protected by a mortgage. Irvln Reed & Co., Richmond An account amounting to a little more than f 100. ,-.- y Total estimated shortage of Emmett .Druley, -i $8,111. of ' which' amount y $1,400 Is protected by mortgage. - Emmett Druley, aged 36. a farmer 'living a short distance west of Fountain City, who disappeared last Wednesday night, is now being sought for by representatives of banking associations, Druley having become involved ;wlth several banks, business Arms and (Individuals to the amount of about i $8,111. Forged notes accounts for the major portion of the defalcations. Dru- " jley forged the names of his wife's igrandfather, William Toney; his own ifather, Edward Druley. Druley, known to have been a man tf model habits, neither drinking, ; smoking, chewing or gambling, owns tR forty, acre farm west of Fountain I City. He became heavily in debt, just how no one seems to. know, and then began his series of note forging. Some of his forgeries extend back quite a period of time. He had no difficulty in securing loans owing to the excellent standing of himself and his fafnily. What the young man did with his mon ey Is a mystery. So far as known he did not speculate. i Last ' week President Lewis of the Williamsburg bank, in conversation 'with a Lynn man discovered that Druley had a note in the Lynn bank. Lewis made a Quiet investigation, finding that Druley's notes were also ber ' lngheld by other banks. He notified Druley's father, Edward Druley, a farmer of Boston township, reported to be worth $50,000. The father then, had a conversation with his son, and last Wednesday evening Druley packed a suitcase, left his home, drove to Williamsburg, boarded a northbound C. & O. passenger train and has not been rseen since. He leaves a wife and three email children. Hunt Missing Man. Mr. Lewis immediately got in touch vith the holders of the various notes given by Druley, and the amount of the farmer's forgeries at once became known. Banker's associations are on the trail of the missing man. What Druley did with the money is the question bothering the authorities. According to a local banker Emmett Druley's father, Edward Druley, the grandfather of Druley's wife, William Toney and the father of Mrs. Druley, Andrew Toney, have refused to meet ,the missing man's indebtedness. The wife Is reported to have agreed ,1o the sale of the farm of 40 acres and all the personal property of the forger to satisfy creditors. This would make possible a divedend of from 50 to 75 per cent for the creditors. No action has been taken to file .charges of any kind against him, but fthis action will be forthcoming soon it is believed.

Roosevelt Advocates a Minimum Wage Scale for Women Workers and Guarantee by Law to Workmen.

FINISHING TOUCHES rKi hum AnnmcftM Says Business Should Be Encouraged, but Business . Prosperity Should Be the "Hand Maiden of People." (National News Association) OYSTER BAY, N. Y., July 27. The "confession of faith" of Col. Roosevelt is now down in black and ' white, the finishing poaches having been made today. When he has completed the recital of his doctrines in Chicago on the night of August 5, he probably will be called socialistic or anarchistic, and maybe both, he said tonight. But he insisted that the measures he advocated must come. "They are a corrective to Socialism and an antidote to anarchy," he declared. Two of the more striking measures favored by Col. Roosevelt are the fixing by law of minimum wage scales for women workers and a guarantee by law to workmen employed In what he calls the "'continuous industries" of eight-hour shifts and one day's rest in every seven. Although Col. Roosevelt has taken unusual precautions to prevent the contents of his speech from becoming known prematurely, he gave a glimpse behind the veil tonight. He dealt almost entirely with broad economic problems and gave the impression that he will lay emphasis chiefly upon subjects of this nature, which he says both the Democratic and Republican parties have ignored in their platform, rather than upon matters which might be placed under the head of partisan politics. ' j ' ..,' i'-' ,, Col. Roosevelt tald at the outset he nad ttbtwlshed at the present to take up new "things, but had come., to the conclusion that he must develop some of his doctrines in his Chicago speech and had gone further than ever before in advocating what might be regarded by his opponents as radical measures. He said he was curious to see how his speech would be received by the large business interests and recalled the opposition stirred up among business men by his speech in Columbus, O., last February, in which he first advo cated the recall of judicial decisions. The things he now has to say he added, he hoped would not frighten these men, for if they were wise, he asserted, they would see that he was acting in their interest. Business should be encouraged in f every legitimate way, he said, but at the same time .business " prosperity should be made the "hand maiden of the people" and the tendency should be toward a diversification of the ownership of property. The lines along which business has developed recently, as best illustrated by the formation of huge corporations, should be recognized, he said, and the effort should be to correct attendant evils rather than attempt to abolish large corporations or restrict their size. It was in this connection that he said he . favored the establishment of minimum wage scales for women, and he added that later it probably woura be necessary to make similar scales for male workers. His proposal of a guarantee of six-day work; and . eighthour shifts-he restricted to the "continuous industries" like the steel mills in which work Is kept np twenty-four hours a day and seven days a. week. Col. Roosevelt mentioned these two measures merely as illustrating the kind of legislation which he believes should be adopted to meet the conditions now existing. The proposals of the Democrats, Col. Roosevelt said, were futile. He cited the Stanley congressional investigation as illustrating his point. Referring to the recommendations that no corporation be permitted to control more than 30 per cent of any particular business, he declared that such an arbitrary limitation would be foolish. The Democrats some time be fore, he said, favored the same plan only -with a different limit, and he asserted that if an attempt were made to put it Into effect, the only result would be aseries of law suits for four or five years, terminating in decisions similar to the recent rulings in the American Tobacco and Standard Oil cases, which, in his opinion, have accomplished nothing. The Democratic party, he said, offered no solution of the problems, and as for the Democratic platform, he viewed it lightly, saying that It was written by William J. Bryan, who did not know what he wanted. The Republican party, now that the men in the national Progressive .movement have left it, he asserted, Is composed largely of the bosses and the financial interests, t Col. Roosevelt sent a telegram to Medill McCormick of Chicago, today, congratulating Illinois Progressives on the outlook on the eve of their state convention. He declared the action in Illinois of prime importance at thin

AWAITING PLANS Oil LAKE CONSTRUCTIOH Dam at New Hawkins Lake Is Expected ,to Cost About $1,500. Officers of the Richmond Lake and Park company are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the plans and estimates of the dam to be constructed at North Seventeenth street for the big lake at Richmond's proposed amusement park. Engineer Jack Mueller, who is In charge of this work, recently made a visit to this city and dug for foundations for the dam. The dam foundation will be the most expensive part of the work, for although the men drilled down a distance of forty feet, no solid footing for the dam foundation could be found. Consequently it is proposed to drive a set of pilings across the site of the dam, sinking them to a solid foundation. It is thought this feature of the work alone win cost about $1,500. Mueller recently built a weir at the dam site and ascertained the amount of water pouring over the dam. This and, other data necessary io form plans and stfiat;es for. the dam are now in his hads, although he has not returned the plans to the company's officers in this city, as yefc. - It is believed that the lake will ultimately make a summer resort. With the big lake for boating and fishing, the sale of the lake front for cottages will be an easy matter the officers of the association affirm. The construction of the dam when plans and estimates are accepted and the contract awarded will not rekuire a very long time it Ib believed and it is hoped to have the lake constructed by fall.

Board of New York Aldermen Want to Have Investigation of the Rosenthal Murder Case.

THREE DETECTIVES ARE WITH WITNESS Because of the Threats of the Allies of the Gangsters. Police Are Rounding Up the Slayers.(National News Association) NEW YORK. July 27. If Mayor Gaynor refuses to call a special meet ing of the Board of Aldermen at which it is planned to vote on the question of an aldermanic investigation of the police department and the Rosenthal murder he will be served with a writ of mandamus compelling him to do so. This was the program decided upon today by seventeen Republican aldermen who petitioned him yesterday to call the special meeting for August 1. It is clear that the fusion members of the board under the leadership of Ralph Folk and Henry Curran. chair man of the finance committee, mean business and that they believe they have the strength to put through their plans in spite of opposition from the I mayor and the Tammany members of the board. I Mayor Gaynor promised to take the matter op Monday but he has also made his position clear that the whole! scheme was an attempt to embarrass I him. It requires fifteen aldermen to sign a petition asking the mayor to call a special meeting of the board. The petition to which Alderman Curran took to the mayor had seventeen algnatures. Falling to. secure cooperation by this means the seventeen members proposed to resort to a mandamus writ. Allies Make Threats. Threats made by the altle of the gamblers and gangsters under arrest for complicity In the murder of Her man . Rosenthal, - the . Informer, caused careful Drecautions to be tax en -today I CO prevent innvuBtiiuiuou, i ni imiun-1 tion or spiriting away of Louis Kreee, an important new witness, who Identi fied "Brldgie" Webber and Jack Sullivan as two of the men who stood in front of the hotel Metropole when Rosenthal was shot down. The tightening of the chain of evt dence around the accused men is said to have stirred their lawless associates to such a point of desperation that it Is believed there is very little real cause to guard against another out break of violence. Two detectives are guarding Kreee tooay. iney rere otailed to watch over the witness by Deputy Com. Dougherty. The arrest of "8ulllvan" whose real name is Jacob Keiscn ana tne nnai commitment of Webber, were primar ily due to Krese's evidence before the coroner. From information that 1 reached Dougherty fears that an at tempt will be made to kill Rrese, so as to eliminate him as a witness. Dougherty would not say what this information is but he attaches consid erable Importance to it. Men With Witness. These men will stay with Krese as long as the witness life is considered in danger, and will accompany him back and forth between his home, bis work and police headquarters' and the district attorney's office. The district attorney and police agreed that Krese should give a false address when asked on the stand to tell where he lived. Krese has told of seeing Rosenthal slain, of watching Webber stand among the men who killed the gambler and of Webber's flight when the final shots were fired. District Attorney Whitman today re iterated his belief that the men who actually killed Rosenthal have not yet been captured. He added that satisfactory prgoress was made in the Investigation. Deputy Dougherty and Inspector Hughes said no further arrests were expected for a day or two but it was learned today at police headquarters that detectives had picked np the trail of the men now at Liberty and wanted for the murder Harry Horowitx.
