ROADS HOT BUILT 1H RIGHT MANNER

County Is Loser By Several Thousand Dollars, It Is Said. CONTRACTS VIOLATED Some Road Improvements Have Been Accepted By Commissioners. An investigation of alleged failure on the part of contractors who have had charge of the construction of roads In Wayne county to carry out the provisions of the "three-mile road" law is being made by the county commissioners as a result of the recent exposure of the manner of construction of the North Tenth street improvement It is estimated that the county has lost from $5,000 to $10,000 as a result of the failure of the contractors to carry out the plans and specifications of the contracts. Several of the roads have already been accepted, and It is probable that ho action can be taken by the county officials to secure damages against the contractors. The contracts were violated in that Band was not placed between the crushed stone as required by the specifications. The contracts of all roads being built are similar as far as the specifications are concerned. The Easthaven road, recently built, has been accepted, though it was reported that this contract was also violated. There have been contracts let for 30 roads under the "Three Mile" road law most of which are now under process of construction. Those which have not been accepted will be thoroughly examined and unless they are satisfactory will not be accepted. County Commissioner Anderson stated that In some cases there had been deliberate attempts to defraud the county. The National road west of the city will be examined this week. The portion inside the ecity has been accepted though the part west of the corporation inside the city has been accepthas not been completed. The investigation was brought about by the state ment of the contractor on the North Tenth street improvement who stated that none of the roads had been built according to the specifications.

GATHERED FOOB III ALLEYSJ1 FAMILY Russian Is Given Severe Lecture By Mayor in Police Court.

For giving his children food which he had gathered from the alleys, Valentine Bankowski, a Russian 434 South Fourth street, was arrested at 6 o'clock this morning and brought before Mayor Zimmerman in police court. After being given a severe lecture the man was released upon his promise to provide good food for his family. Bankowski was arrested by Patrolman Schlangen who asserted that the man has been providing decayed food for his children for several years. The Russian has six children, ranging in ages from fifteen years to six years. He is employed by the Starr Piano company and says he earns $10 a week. He supports his mother-in-law in Russia. Bankowski said he gathered food between the hours of three o'clock and six o'clock this morning. From a large cloth sack, he took large cans of strawberries, several dozen bananas, potatoes, apples, canned goods and vegetables which had been discarded by groceries as unfit to sell. Mayor Zimmerman decided that the man owed the money which he has been sending to his aged mother-in-law in Russia to his children and told Bankowski that he would be severely dealt with if he was caught repeating the act for which he was arrested this morning. The mayor explained to the man that the food which he has been providing for his six children was unhealthy. Bankowski stated that he has been getting up at 2:30 o'clock in the morning for several years to gather fruit and other food for his children but agreed that he would stop the practice and buy proper food for his famintensely occupied with his art that he takes his wife's love as a matter of course. Willard Martin, a friend of Jackson becomes infatuated with Mrs. Jackson, and jilts Mabel Wallace to whom he is engaged to marry. Jackson learns of Martin's attentions to his wife, gets a gun and swears vengeance. The jilted sweetheart tells a lie that saves Martin's life, after which the Jacksons become reconciled to each other and all ends happily, all on account of "the saving lie." Thursday and Friday the big feature, "Shipwrecked in Icebergs," a picture entirely different from anything that has ever been shown in Richmond, will be seen at the above theater. The House Next Door. The Francis Sayles Players are without a doubt the best Stock organization that the theater goer of Richmond has ever had the pleasure to see, and their performance of The House Next Door which is the offering this week is in many ways equal to the performance given here several seasons ago by Mr. Dodson himself. Mr. Sayles, as Sir John Cotswold, has the best part he has appeared in during the past five weeks, Mr. Sayles never did better work, his every word, action and position was in harmony with the character and he never was better than last night. The production is complete, all having been builded and in many ways the performance last night was equal to any ever seen in this city. The House Next Door will be the offering for the balance of the week with the regular matinees. ARE ON COMMITTEE Dr. S. E. Smith and Timothy Nicholson have been appointed members of the committee on medical charities for the state conference of charities and corrections to be held at Gary, November 16 to 18, inclusive. Both men have served on the committee before. The appointment of thirty members were announced yesterday at Indianapolis by the commitee of the state board of charities.

CASE IS DISMISSED The suit of John Underhill against the city was dismissed yesterday afternoon upon motion of the plaintiff. The plaintiff paid the costs. Another complaint will be filed, it is said. Underhill claimed to be the owner of 600 perches of gravel in the summer of 1909, located at the corner of Eleventh and Main streets. He stated that the city agreed to purchase the gravel from him at 50 cents per perch, and is therefore indebted to him for $300. It was contended by the defense that Underhill made an agreement with former Street Commissioner Dye to supervise the hauling of the gravel for the city. Dye said that the owner of the gravel was the contractor who was building the Murray theater and would give the gravel to any one who wanted it He presented a receipt to show that the plaintiff was paid $33.12 for his services as supervisor of the gravel. MAY BUY STABLE "Chalk" Taylor, well known in this city, and who recently disposed of his livery stable and interests in this city, will enter the business again, it is understood.

LUCAS FORCED TO EAT BUPPARATUS Special Physician to Assist Jail Doctor in Operation of Machine.

An apparatus has been procured for the purpose of compelling Seth Lucas to take nourishment. This is believed to be the only way his life can be sustained. The apparatus rumps food through tubes into the stomach of the patient. A special physician will assist the jail physician in the operation of the machine. The grand jury will convene tomorrow. It is likely that an indictment charging first degree murder will be returned, in as much as Lucas has confessed to the murder of his wife. Lucas is violent at times and persists in doing without food. He arose this morning crying that his brother had been killed in a railroad accident in Indianapolis. His brother has been dead for several years. The officials at police headquarters still believe Lucas is shamming and making every effort to convince the authorities that he is insane. Seth Lucas's condition is worse at this time than it has ever been. He has lost 25 pounds in weight since his confinement, according to the sheriff. He is violent at times. This morning he attempted to bite Turnkey Rice Miller and Emmet Schierman, an inmate of the jail. Sheriff Bayer was told this morning that Lucas is not responsible for the disappearance of Winfield Parker, the farmer whose life Lucas confessed to taking. According to information received by the sheriff, Parker was seen in Greensfork and Newcastle after his disappearance was reported. Sheriff Bayer stated that Lucas can not be held responsible for anything he says and will confess to any crime if asked if he committed it. FEW WILL BENEFIT In Richmond By T. H., I. & E. Wage Increase. The increase in wages of the street car employes, announced by officials of the T. H., I. & E. Traction company at Indianapolis yesterday, is not effective here, according to Alexander Gordon, local superintendent. The increase in wages will affect only interurban men and the street car men operating in Indianapolis. The local street car employes received a raise of one cent per hour several months ago. The street car employes of Indianapolis received a like increase Saturday night. The new scale of wages is from 20 to 30 cents an hour, according to the length of time the employe has worked for the company. This increase will affect local men who are employed on interurbans. CATRON GIVEN FINE Perry Catron, 20, who has a police court record, pleaded guilty this morning in police court to petit larceny. He stole a small quantity of junk. He was fined $10 and costs and sent to the county jail for ten days. Catron entered a plea of not guilty yesterday.

NATIONAL BISCUIT COMEANY

CLEVER SWINDLER FINALLY CAPTURED Rinehart, a Hebrew, Who Swindled a Local Turk, Captured At Hamilton.

C. A. Rinehart. alias Fred Meyers, a Hebrew, who swindled Semit Aniit, a Turk, living here, out of $130, on May 5th, was arrested at HamSton, O., yesterday following an exposure of his scheme there. He tried the same scheme on an Italian in that city. He was positively identified by Chief of Police Gormon and Financial Clerk Otto Sprong of the local post office as the man who fleeced the local man. He will probably be tried there, and no charges will be brought against him for the local crime. Rinehart, or Meyers, as sometimes known as Dumont, would acquaint himself with members of the foreign colonies in cities of the middle west, and finally "secure" good positions for his victims in far distant cities. After offering them good wages and an opportunity to travel he would tell them to give him their money for safekeeping and he would forward it to them by registered letter, which he never did. Amit here gave Rinehart, as he was known here, $130 to be sent to him in Chicago. The man placed the money in an envelope before the Turk's eyes, and told him to take it to the post office and wait for him there. The Turk did as he was told, and when joined by Rinehart, that impostor took the envelope for a moment while having it registered. In that short time an envelope identical with the one containing the money was substituted, and the fake envelope filled with brown paper was the one mailed. The impostor fled, and the Turk, becoming uneasy demanded his money of Chief of Clerks Handley. He told his story and a telegram caused the letter to be returned here. It was full of brown paper. Postoffice Inspector Swain was detailed on the case. Yesterday Rinehart, posing as Fred Meyers, tried the same game on an Italian at Hamilton, and secured $35 in the samo manner. The Italian became suspicious in a few hours, secur ed his letter from the post office before it was sent, and asking police aid soon Meyers was under arrest. Chief of Police Gormon was notified, and he and Sprong went to Hamilton and identified the man. Post Office Inspector Swain who has been on the trail of the impostor since he fleeced the local man, is now at Hamilton, and may take charge of the case against the Jew. Bond of $500 is demanded for his release. FORTY BOYS TO CAMP More than forty boys have signified their intention of attending the "Y" I boys summer camp to be held at Covington, Ohio, June 16 to 30.The boys will leave the city fully equipped for a two weeks vacation, after schools are dismissed for the year.
