CITY’S LOCATION
AID TO SHIPPERS
Survey Shows Big Sums Are
Saved Here in Freight.
' John B. Reynolds, general secretary of
the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce,
today announced that the results of an
investigation made by the chamber
showed that Indianapolis shippers, be
cause of the city's location at the center
of population, had a big advantage over
all other shippers In the country in
reaching two-thirds of the country’s pop
ulation.
Computing freight rates on the first five
clases of freight, which includes practi
cally all manufactured articles, from the
larger cities of the country to the thirty
seven largest cities ip that most densely
settled section lying east of the Missouri
river and north of the Mason and Dixon
line, shows a saving of thousands of dol
lars annpaHy to Indianapolis manufac
turers and other shippers, and a loss to
other cities resulting from their less cen
tral location which amounts to millions
annually.
The average rate for the first five
classes of freight for each 100 pounds Is
as follows: Indianapolis, 48 4-5 cents;
ricinnatl. 40; Cleveland. 491-5; Pltts
rg. 491-5; Detroit, 50; Chicago, 513-5;
uisville, 53 3-5; St. 'Louis, 50 2-5; Baltl
re, 63 4-5; New York, 68 2-5; Minneap
olis, 88; Kansas City, 98 1-5 cents.
The comparative freight rates from the
above tweive cities to the thirty-seven
other points were cotnptrted by Harry B.
MeXeely, the chamber's freight and traf
fic commissioner.

BUSINESS MAN
Oscar F. McLain Arrested on
Charge of Assault.
An echo of a federal case was heard In
the city court today when Oscar F. Mc-
Lain. president of the Indiana Artificial

charge of assaulting Mrs. Thomas Cole
man, 18, of Harrisburg, 111.
The arrest was made by Detectives

sworn to by Mrs. Coleman, who appeared
In the prosecutor's office yesterday, ac
companied by her attorney.

signed by Walter R, Beard, 453 East
Washington street.

Is given as 935 South New Jersey street,
and McLain's as the United building, but

a SSOO note they would release evidence
against him in the alleged assault on
Mrs. Coleman.
This SSOO note was to be made payable
at a St. Louis bank to the senders of the
letter, and In return the two men. it is
said, offered to turn over to McLain evi
dence they claimed to have relating to
the alleged ‘assault on Mrs. Coleman.
Following a dispute as to the signature
on the letter asking for the money, a
hand writing expert from a local bank
testified before the federal commissioner
that the signature was that of Facker and
not of McLain as claimed by Facker.

Indianapolis Man
Describes Dramatic
Episode in 1892
CHICAGO, .Tune s.—Horace Ellis
of Indianapolis, says the most dra
matic episode he can recall occurred
at the republican national convention
in Minneapolis in 1892.
“There was a deep seated under
current against the renomination of
President Harrison and a strong sen
timent for McKinley, who was per
manent chairman,” said Ellis. “At
the height of the convention 1,000-Mc-
Kinley boosters marched into the
hall bearing a large poster picture
of McKinley and shouting 'Wt want
McKinley.’
“As the boosters paraded the hall
McKinley -brought his gavel down
with a crash. Silence reigned.
“Then McKinley, gravely address
ing his supporters, said: ‘When the
are seated and that thint*
(pointing to the poster picture of
himself) is taken out of here, we will
proceed.’
"This killed a rally for McKinley
and the* Harrison forces easily re
nominated their man. But it gave
McKinley the nomination hands down
at the next convention.”
alleged to have written the letter de
manding the money were bound over to
appear In the eastern district federal
court of Missouri on Sept. 21, to answer
the charge of using the malls in un
attempt to defraud.
The case attracted considerable atten
tention in the commissioners’ court when
it became known that McLain, a manu
facturer of artificial limbs, wore one
wooden leg, Facker had both legs off
end wore artificial limbs and the other
defendant had one artificial limb, as did
Mrs. Coleman.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.
By DAVID CORY.
CHAPTER L.
You remember In the last story how
Puss Junior played with Mistress Mary
Quite Contrary In her garden of cockle
shells and silver bells. Well, now that
the sand was out of his boots, Puss
was ready for anything, and when Mary
Quite Contrary invited him to go into the
house he was ready in a moment.
I’erhaps he thought he might get a
cookie or n saucer of cream, I’m sure I
don't know. Well, anyway, if he
“Who Opened the Door hot the Baby
Bunting Bunny.”
thought this, he said nothing, but fol
lowed her across the garden and up on
the big porch, and Just as she opened
the front door, the big Grandfather
clock in the hall struck the hour.
“Dickory, dickory dock,
The mouse ran up tho dock,
The clock struck one, and down he
come,
Dickory, dickory, dock!"
This was too much for I’uss Junior. To
see a mouse suddenly run In front of
him made him think of the good old
days when ho went mouse hunting, and
so he started after him. Just at that In
stant Mistress Mary's mother walked In
to the hall and before Puss could stop,
he bumped Into her.
“Mercy! Wbat's that?” she exclaimed,
while Puss blushed and stammered out
an excuse. "I’m very sorry, but I didn't
see you,” he said.
"Don't fed badly about It,” an
swered Mistress Mary’s mother, and
then she looked at our little traveler
and laughed.
"Why. it's Puss In Boots.”
“You have guessed nearly right," he
answered. "I'm hi# son, I’uss Junior. I
am seeking adventure and am traveling
through Mother Goose Land to meet all
the little people who live there."
And then our little’ traveler began to
recite his little poem;
"Oh. I'm the son of Pus# in Boots,
And I have traveled far.
I’ve seen the merry Men In the Moon
And the Twinkle, Twinkle Star.
And some day I shall write a book
Os the wonderful things I’ve seen;
That Is, when I’ve been through Fairy
Land
And met the Fairy Queen."
And this so delighted Mistress Mary
that she took a gold ring off her little
finger and gave It to him ; "for,” said she,
“you are a poet, Sir Puss, and I want
you to wear my ring to remember me.”
Well, after that, Puss said good-bye
and continued on his way, and by and
by be came to a queer little house by
the road side where lived a little rabbit.
And when Puts knocked on the door who
should open it but the Bye O Baby
Bunting Bunny.
“Baby Bunting’s Father may be a
good hunter,” said the little rabbit
as Puss sat down on the porch to have
a talk. “But he didn't catch me. He
didn’t get any furry skin to wrap her
Baby Bunting In."
“How was that?” asked Pusa. “Didn't
he have a gun?”
“He did,” answered the little rabbit,
and then he winked his eye. “But I was
too quick for him. As It was, the bullet
took tffc the tip of my tail.” And then
he told Pusa all about it, and I would
tell It to you only there’s no more room
In this story.”—Copyright, 1020.
