The police say the gang has been making Terre Haute its headquarters for a year, and that the alleged swindlers are intimate friends of Walter Worth, who today at Bloomfield is resisting extradition to Hot Springs to stand trial as one of six men who are alleged to have swindled Frank Fox, of Terre Haute, out of $20,000 in a bogus scheme to fix a roulette wheel. The attorney who bobbed up for the alleged swindlers at once after their arrest is one of Worth's attorneys, and there is evidence that they have been close to Worth through the last year. One of the alleged fake prize fights was pulled off in Linton, where Worth lives! Texas Banker's Story. Garrett Shaw, the Texas banker, seemingly a shrewd man, says frankly he must have been hypnotized. He knows the ways of confidence men, and yet he can not get his mind clear as to how he happened to fall for the trick these confidence men are said to have played on him. One of them appeared In Shaw's city and was introduced, casually, by a substantial citizen. Then he let Shaw know of an opportunity to buy twenty thousand acres of land In Missouri, for which he already had a customer at an advance of $3 an acre.

A
DOG
OUARANTIN
E
BEING
CONSIDERED
Another Dog Which Died of Rabies Makes This Move Very Probable.
- Health Commissioner J. E. King is considering placing a quarantine on the dogs of Wayne and Boston townships. This action is being considered by Dr. King owing to the fact that another dog south of town has died of rabies as the result of being bitten by the strange dog that passed through the neighborhood the middle of last month, and attacked a number of dogs and livestock. The last dog to develop the disease belonged to Walter Farlow, residing four miles south of town on the Lib
erty pike, which died Monday of rabies. The dog began to act strangely four days before its death, and was at once placed in close confinement. So far as known, no one was attacked by the dog, hut a number of hogs were bitten before he was chained up. , The Farlow dog was infected by the same animal whose bite caused the dog belonging to William Baekmeyer to go made an attack four people. Owing to the fact that the disease develops In periods of different lengths, the Baekmeyer dog went mad almost two weeks before the other dog, which was bitten the same day. William Johnson. Norman Miller, kobert Baekmeyer and Will Baekmeyer, who are taking the Pasteur treatment at Indianapolis, are doing nicely and will return to their homes Saturday.
Minister of Foreign Affairs for Mexico Federico Bamboa, who has defended the stand taken by Provisional President Huerta by declaring that his country would be humiliated were Huerta to abide by the proposals submitted by President Wilson.
AUTOMOBILE ORDER ISSUEDJUORMON To Enforce New State Traffic Law Beginning Tonight, He States. That the local automobile and motor cycle owners have had plenty of time to confirm with the state law, which took effect August 1, regarding lights and signals and licenses of automobiles and motorcycles, is the statement of Chief of Police Gormon, who will issued an order tonight to patrolmen to see that the new law is enforced by arresting those not complying with its provisions The chief also believes that the owners of automobiles and motorcycles should be prosecuted for using too bright a light in the city streets, where a searchlight is really not not needed. He believes that only enough light should be used on automobiles in the city to conform with the law and to warn approaching vehicles without blinding pedestrians. The law provides that the rear lights of machines shall be so placed as to cast a white light on the license plate, making it readable for 100 feet. The two front lights are supposed to be kept burning at least dimly from one hour after sunset until one hour before sunrise, if the machine is in use during those hours. Many persons are in ignorance of the fact that they are disobeying a state law and are liable to prosecution if they leave their motors running while they enter a store to shop, or leave the machine unattended by the regular driver. Probably this feature of the new law is violated more than any other and the police have informed many persons of it.
RAILROAD NOTES
About one-half of the office force at the Richmond Mvision offices enjoyed the privilege of observing labor day. No runs were made by the local freight trains in observance of the holiday.
J. E. Hart, brakeman on the Richmond Division, is confined to his home with a bruised knee, which he received while climbing a car.
LOCAL POST OFFICE REPORT OUT TODAY
The local post office report for the month of August shows a very satisfactory standing. The sales for August were $6,740.01, an increase of $600 over the sales of the month of August last year. The net profits of the office were $2,863.30, the surplus over expenses. The deposits in the postal savings department were more than $8,200 this month, an increase of $1,349 over the month of July.
TWO INDICTMENTS ARE ENTERED TODAY
The Wayne County grand jury reported to Judge Fox late this afternoon returning indictments against George Schools, charging him with the murder of Lydia Schools; Smith Parry charging attempted criminal assault. Another matter was probed but the defendant not having been caught his name was withheld.
Station Master C. E. Mayhew states that the traffic is greater than is usual at this time of year. The trains from the resorts in the North are especially heavy and almost every train is carrying extra coaches.
Dispatchers C. P. Kirkpatrick and Ray Johnson resumed work yesterday after returning from their vacation trip to Chatek
Much excitement was caused at the station this morning because of a mistake in a copy of a dispatch. It read, 'Mr. Marshall and party in private car on rear of No. 21 enroute to Texas.' The natural conclusions were that this was T. R. Marshall, the vice-president, sent to Texas on account of the Mexican affairs, and the station master, reporters, and a group of people who were 'wise' were eagerly awaiting the train, which was due shortly after nine o'clock. Disappointment and chagrin reigned supreme when it was discovered, just as the train pulled in, that the man in the rear coach was not Mr. Marshall, but a Mr. Marsham, who lives in Baltimore.

Transferring the survey of the Richmond & Eastern Indiana Traction company over to promoters who are figuring on building a traction line ; from South Bend to Cincinnati, will : be discussed at a meeting of stock-! holders of the local company, to be ; called some time in the near future, j The exact status of the new trac- i tion project can not be learned at i
this time. At the monthly meeting of the Commercial club held Monday evening, representatives cf out-of-town capital appeared to take up the proposition with the directors of the Commercial club. While the Commercial club was directly responsible for the organization
of the traction company, there is no ! connection between the two, and the j directors declined to enter into a dis- j
cussion of the subject, but referred the visitors to the officers of the traction company. Will Call a Meeting. It is understood that the meeting of the stockholders of the company will be called for some date when it will be convenient for these men to attend. Sharon E. Jones, president of the Richmond and Eastern Indiana Traction company, was very reticent today in discussing the proposed deal. He stated that he had been introduced to the men who had attended the meeting of the Commercial club but that he had forgotten their names or whence they came, but thought that at least one of them lives in Indianapolis. When pressed for their object in visiting the city he stated that they were merely here looking over the Hamilton to Portland line from the standpoint of the investor. When asked if the report was true that there might be an extension of the line now proposed from Hamilton to Portland he disclaimed any such knowledge, but added that if such were the case the local company would most certainly receive proper reimbursement if it sold out to another and larger company.
It was learned today that friends of ; Herbert S. Weed, secretary of the Richmond Y. M. C. A. are displeased ) w ith the movement on the part of cer- j tain officials of the institution which ' resulted in Weed handing in his resignation, and are circulating a petition asking his retention as secretary. Mr. ! Weed is in Pittsburg today and could not be questioned concerning the effort being made for his retention here. It is reported that future plans for the V. M. C. A. call for the appointment of some Richmond business man, 1

I IIS &Al AUAIlNal CONFETTI THROWING
Believing that confetti throwing ! makes crowds unruly, Chief of Police ! Gormon last night put a ban on this ' practice at the carnival grounds. The chief stated that the amusement had been a source of annoyance to many and there were several near fights as the result of the cut paper being j throw n in women's faces. Several per-; sons were struck with stones which were thrown in with confetti, scooped i from the ground. Three stands wrt I
selling it and were closed up on the chief's orders.
Suit was filed today against the
Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern Traction Co., demanding $3,000 for injuries sustained by William Weatherby who was injured by one of the city cars July 3, while digging a trench across North Eighth street for the Richmond City Water Works Co. The injuries sustained by Weatherby consisted of several bruises and his central nerve system impaired. His eyesight is defective as the result of the accident, he alleges. Weatherby was in bed for three weeks following the accident and was not in condition to work until four weeks later. According to the complaint the motorman did not ring the bell or give any warning signal though Weatherby was standing directly in front of the car. The car was being driven at an unlawful rate of speed, the plaintiff alleges. Only thirty five marriage licenses were issued last month by the county clerk. This number is lower than the average number of licenses issued each month. As many as 155 hunters licenses were taken out by sportsmen during August.
