ARREST PROMINENT MEN ATLOGANSPORT Preacher and Physicians Are Now Facing Serious Charges.

AIDED YOUNG WOMAN

Indictments Result of Befriending Miss Cora Whistler.

PRESIDENT PROMPT IN OFFERING AID TO THE SUFFERERS

LOGANSPORT, Ind., March 28. Rev. Frank A. Wetiel, superintendent of the Union Mission; Dr. Frank Gray and Dr. Urban A. Lyle, who were arrested Saturday night by Julius Kuechler, deputy sheriff of Marion county, on grand larceny and conspiracy charges, have returned from Indianapolis arranging for bond in the Marion county court. The three men gave bond in the sum of 1,000 each. The indictment Is the result of an effort of the Lafayette men to befriend Miss Cora Whistler, daughter of George P. Whistler, of Brookston, who had been betrayed. Before Deputy Sheriff Kuechler came to Lafayette to serve the warrants he arrested A. L. Kilburn, superintendent of the Faith home, 1523 Southeastern avenue, Indianapolis, on a warrant charging him with the same offense. The Indianapolis officer arrived here on the 9:15 interurban Saturday night and the warrants were read to the three Lafayette men at police headquarters. Arrest A Surprise. The arrest was a great surprise to the local men and their first effort was to secure an extension of time for their appearance in Indianapolis to answer . the charge. The bond of each was placed at $3,000 and none of them was desirous of going to Indianapolis that night. Daniel P. Flanagan was called in by Mr. Wetzen and the men who had been arrested were finally released with the understanding they would go to Indianapolis yesterday and give bond for their appearance. Before they left headquarters Russell K. Bedgood signed a temporary bond for Dr. Gray. The three men under indictment were accompanied to Indianapolis yesterday by Mayor George R. Durgan, Deputy Archie Dolph, Dr. Fred H. Williams, Frank Klmmel, Daniel P. Flanagar and Russell K. Bedgood. Or. Q ray's 8tatemnt. Dr. Gray says that Miss Cora Whistler came to him in November and told him she was in trouble and asked him to help her. He 'told her to return home and tell her. father the circumstances and have him come and see him. Mr. Whisler and his daughter returned to this city and Dr. Gray suggested that, the young woman go to a home in Chicago. He then remembered that Dr. Lyle had spoken of the Faith home in, Indianapolis and suggested that institution as a suitable ; place. Dre. Lyle and Gray accompanied Mr. Whisler to Indianapolis and arrangements were made . to place Miss Whisler In Faith home. It was understood that Mr. Wetzel would care for the child after it was born and this part of the agreement was carried out.

Jesse Daugherty, aged 19 years, died last night at the home of his father, Alonzo Daugherty. He had been in Bakervllle, California, for some time

but had returned to his home shortly before his death. Death was due to tuberculosis. The funeral will be held

Sunday.

(Palladium Special) i NEWCASTLE, Ind., March 28. ' Rumors after rumors are being run, down to secure a trace of little Katherin Winters, the nine-year-old daughter of Dr. W. A. "Winters. Frantic searches have been made of the entire city and smaller towns near here but all have been to no avail. i Some believe the child was murdered by a degenerate. Some say that! she was taken by gypsies, and to this Dr. W. A. Winters, the father, holds fast. Others believe the child was i taken away by relatives from another J state, a theory in which the father: takes no stock. j Mayor Barnard and his chief of police, James Bosloug, and Sheriff , Kirk, who are working most Indus-j trlously to solve the mystery, accept j every theory as a possibility and are trying to run it down. No one knows who employed Harrv . C, Webster, the I Indianapolis detective. He has disap-:

peared from the city, and is expected to send word to Newcastle at any time now. Dr. Winters was married to a young woman named Whisler and this wife was the mother of Catherine, the misBing girl, and her brother Frank. At the death of his wife, Miss Ida Chalpant, a half-sister, and Mrs. Eliza Whisler, the mother of Mrs. Winters, kept house for the doctor. On of the visitors to the home occasionally was Ivan C. Whisler, a brother of the dead wife, a half-brother of Ida Chalpant and son of Mrs. Eliza Whisler. All of them were fond of the children. Later Dr. Winters married Miss Birdie Hitter, an estimable young woman of this city. Mrs. Elizn Whisler and her daughter, Miss Cbalpant, moved to Plattsville, Wis. Mrs. Eliza Whisler has an estate valued at between $7,000 and $8,000. By the terms of a will Mrs. Eliza Whisler has a life interest In this property and at her death it goes to her daughter, the first Mrs. Winters. Mrs. Winters being dead, her two children, Catherine and Frankie, inherit this property, along with Evan C. Whisler. Based on these facts, the detectives are working on the theory that the little girl has gone to Wisconsin and that she will be found there. The last seen of Catherine was at

the spot not far from the Pennsylvania railway station, a few minutes before the passenger train for Chicago was due. Five minutes before the arrival of the train, James Peed, a veterinary

surgeon, saw at the station a child

that resembled the Winters girl.

"I saw a child." said Dr. Peed, "that

I thought was the little daughter of Walter S. Chambers and was about to speak to her when I saw my mistake.

QUITE DULL

Business in Richmond is at a standstill B a result of the complete demoralization of railroad service. The Starr Piano company has been closed

several days and today the Westcott

Motor car company shut down. Other factories are laying off their men for lack of storage space. Big inroads are being made into the supplies of the local wholesale groceries to supply the wants of this city nd the flood victims in neighboring towns, and the local bakeries report their supply of yeast has about been exhausted. However there is no danger of a food stuff famine, for the dealers in all kinds of products have large enough supplies to meet local and foreign demands for a number of days. Refugees from Diyton and . other flood stricken towns have be?un to arrive in Richmond and they are seeking work, but for the time being there is no employment for them. They are being fed and clothed. Superintendent Johnson of the MuT nicipal plant says there is not the slightest danger of the plant suspending service because of lack of coal. He says he has 1,500 tons on hand, enough to keep the riant In operation for two weeks. The Light, Heat & Power company is not quite so well supplied but can operate for several days.

BROOKS AT HEAD

OF COMMITTEE

:' The meeting of the Progressive committee-men held in the Court House last night resulted in the election of the following officers: Howard Brooks chairman, Charles Potter, vicechairman, Roy Fry secretary and R. L. Moore, treasurer. The question before the members for discussion was the primary election of government and the nomination of city candidates. J Last night's meeting was to determine what plan the committee will pursue. An executive committee consisting of the four officers and eight members at the meeting was appointed by the presiding chairman to delve into the intricacies of the situation. The general trend of sentiment of the Progressives was in favor of a primary election law so that all

parties concerned might meet on elec-!

tion date and choose their candidates. The next meeting will be held in two weeks from last Thursday.

The Winters child and Mr. Chamber's little daughter look very much alike, but when I saw that it was not Walter's daughter I passed on. The girl I saw had on a little bat with flowers on it, and wore a red sweater. I don't mean to say that It was the Winters child, but It answered the' description of her very much. The conductor of the train was John Railsback. He does not remember the woman and litle girl seen by Mr. Pickering as among his passengers, though they may have been. Dr. W. A. Winters is making a hard ight to find his little one. Night and day he is following every possible clew and working out every suggestion. "I am thoroughly satisfied," said Dr. Winters, "that Catherine was stolen by the gypsies and if she is ever found that will be the solution of her disappearance. While I am not overlooking any other theory. I am using special efforts in the direction of the gypsies. It is said there were only four gypsy wagons, but many people tell me that there were Ive. I have a description of this fifth wagon, and that is the wagon I am trying to find, and when I do I believe I will either And Catherine or learn her fate."
