Charge Is Made That Sherrick is Short $145,000 bf.

Sher­ rick, removed from the office of au­ ditor of state by Gov. Hanly on his own showing that he owes the state $145,000 which he is unable to pay, was placed under arrest early this morning on the charge of embezzle­ ment. The arrest followed Mr. Sherrick's summary removal from office at noon yesterday by Gov. Hanly. The gov­ ernor, to whom Sherrick had con­ fessed his shortage, had repeatedly demanded a settlement, and, failing to secure it, insisted that Mr. Sherrick resign. Sherrick retfused to resign, and his summary removal followed. The governor appointed Warren Big- ler of Wabash as Sherrick's succes­ sor.;. Prosecutor Benedict, and Deputy Croninger went to the police station at midnight and secured the services of two detectives, but there was some question as to Mr. Sherrick's condition, it being reported that he was -danger­ ously ill. This could not be confirmed through his physician, who had not been cafled to see him, and the detectives were sent to his house'to bring him. to the station, i - Embezzlement Is Charged. Whil they were gone the prosecutor drew up the warant which was based on an affidavit which charges that Sherrick has embezzled the funds of the state of Indiana to the amount of $145,000. The affidavit was made out by the prosecutor and sworn to by him. He remarked significantly when asked who had made the affidavit that the officers had been forced to do so, as it seemed to be a case where every­ body was trying to knife bis frieifd and at the same time shirk responsi­ bility." Mr. Sherrick was in bed when the detectives arrived, but he dressed hurriedly and came down at the re­ quest of the officers. He was greatly agitated when he learned their mis­ sion, but his equanimity soon re­ turned. Admits Inability to 8ettls. The removal followed a long Cor­ respondence in which Sherrick admit­ ted that he was unable to settle with the treasurer of state, and virtually confessed that he had been continu­ ously violating the law by loaning money belonging to the state for his personal profit. W. S. Wickard, indorser of notes on which Sherrick loaned money, and which the governor declared to be forgeries, asserted that he intended to sue the governor for libel. Mr. Wickard declares the notes in ques­ tion are perfectly good, that he signed them, and that he went to the audit­ or's office yesterday afternoon with a certified check to take up the notes, but found that Sherrick had been re­ moved from office. If Wickard's state­ ments are true, the shortage will be reduced $51,000, or the amount of the notes. / iff ; ! V-f rH-i Look out! Here comes the Colonel."

Erie, Pa., Sept. 18.--For the fourth time in a week the Canadian cruiser Vigilant Sunday fired on an American fishing boat. In an exciting chase of eight miles in the middle of the lake the Canadian craft sent thirty shells after the big steasa tug Harry G. Barnhurst of Erie. Fifteen of these took effect and the entire upper part of the vessel was shot away. The captain of the cruiser could have sent the American ship to the bottom if he had desired. The Barnhurst with three smaller vessels belonging to the Booth com­ pany had crossed the boundary line in the middle of the lake. The Barn­ hurst was eight miles from the line and was engaged in pulling in her nets when the Vigilant hove in sight. Early reports of the analr said that one man had bgen killed. The truth is told by Captain Nick Fasel of the Barnhurst, who says that the Vigilant might have sunk the American boat, had Captain Dunn desired to turn his guns to the water line, but he refrain­ ed from shooting so low. One Amer­ ican, the fireman, Magnus Johnson, was laid out from over exertion. Th6 tug ran more than eight miles in thir­ ty-five minutes under full steam in order to escape, and Johnson, who was in the hold, was overcome by the exertion. ' ' Fishermen Are Hurt. Two of the fishermen had their faces cut by flying splinters and the men on the boat said they could hear the bullets whistling over their heads and the pieces of boat flying around then! Captain Fasel attributes their escape to the good sense of Captain Dunn in not trying to wound and maim them. On the Barnhurst were Captain Nick Fasel, Engineer Jerry Collins, Fireman Magnus Johnson and Fisher­ men Pat Owens, Frank Weschler and Albert Hahn. She was the greatest distance over the boundary line, three other Erie fish tugs, the Alma, the Valiant and the Boyd, small vessels, being chased in the same engagement but escaping easily. The Barnhurst "Was formerly a small pleasure steamer plying on the bay, and is fitted with good steam equip*' ment, maintaining a speed of about sixteen miles an hour when pressed as she was. The boat lost nets val­ ued at several thousand dollars, but brought a quantity of fish home withf her. . Tug Was Out of Bounds. The Barnhurst had not ventured so far over the boundary line in this ex­ pedition as do many of the American fish tugs. The Booth company has had one vessel captured by the Cana­ dians this summer and had given the others strict orders against running any danger. Captain Fasel says that he was aware that he was close to the line, but that he cannot have been DROWNS TO ESCAPE MARRIAGE Man Leaves Note Telling of Mistake in His Love Affairs. Sioux City, Iowa, dispatch: Theo­ dore Schoemperlin " of Litchfield, Minn., committed suicide by drown­ ing here to escape matrimony. He left a note to his parents saying he had been tired of living since Aug. 23, when he became engaged to Ellen Harder. He said he proposed to her to pique another girl whom he really loved. Ellen Harder, is unknown to Ills parents. ' %, * taore than foifr or five miles Ait in Canadian waters, when the cruiser Vigilant suddenly appeared. His position became apparent at once and he started to run. The Can­ adians then made signals for him to stop or they would fire. He refused to obey and all the while the fisher­ men and the crew had been cutting loose their lines and net in readiness to save the boat. The engineer got tip steam as rapidly as possible, while the Vigilant bore down upon the boat with increasing speed. The Canadian would probably have rammed the fish tug had Captain Fasel not managed his boat skillfully. ft Boat Is Badly Damaged. » Every man on the boat was ordered to keep under cover when the firing began and two of the men who stuck "their heads above the sides of the tug Received splinters in the face. The Canadians were shooting to damage the tug as much as they could and managed to tear off almost all of the upper part of the boat. When the Barnhurst, reached port the boat was ieaning to one side and will have to undergo extensive repairs and be thoroughly overhauled before she can go into service again. The boat ran about eight miles before it got out of danger, when ?the fishermen looked out and laughed at Captain Dunn and his men. . i It is thought that the TTnited States authorities will take some hand to stop the fishermen / from willfully crossing the lake aiid violating the Canadian fishing laws. - It has became quite the euBtom for the Erie fishermen to cross the line, regardless of strict orders from the companies employing them and hav­ ing exciting brushes with the Vigilant. They never think of surrender when there is a chauce to run away. r .{.jMiijii uiiiijUii,". ,'!I . 1 - • . Arrest Wonwr Attlr RoofChalfc.

FEDERAL SENAT0RSHIP HINGES ON DAMAGE SUIT Politicians Line Up For and Against Young Woman, Who Charges Defamation of Character. Cynthiana, .Ky., dispatch: Rivaling in sensational features the famous ac­ tion of Madaline Pollard against Con­ gressman Breckenridge some years ago is the suit of Miss Elizabeth Whitaker, one of ' the best-known young women in the country, against State Senator Enoch K. Reneker to recover $25,000 damages for alleged defamation of character. The case was filed some time ago, but not un­ til the last few days has it assumed such large proportions. Indirectly involved in the issue is the United States senatorship, be­ cause Reneker is a stanch supporter of Blackburn. The Paynter element, controlling the political situation, is making, so it is charged, efforts to bring about the downfall of Reneker, who is seeking re-election. The Black­ burn forces are aiding Reneker. In the complaint filed by Mrs. Whit­ aker she alleges that Reneker first made improper proposals to her and, failing, circulated reports to the ef­ fect that he had witnessed improper conduct with Frank Bowman, Testi­ mony of a vivid character is prom­ ised. Col. Reneker is one of the best- known men in the state. He admits that he was told various stories con­ cerning Miss Whitaker and declares he can prove all that he has said. He denies, however, that he ever at any time made or thought of making any improper proposals to Miss Whitaker. At the tiine of the alleged Improper conduct Mfss Whitaker was a guest at the defendant's home. HONOR TO AMERICAN OFFICERS General Chaffee and Members of Staff Receive Recognition in France.

"Wholesale dealings in fall and win­ ter staples made a substantial gain. Shipping rooms are worked day and night in the effort to overtake prompt forwarding.

'Railroad earnings exceed those of a year ago, the gain being largely from freight, testifying to enormous movement of commodities.

Deneen to stop any violations of the law that might occur during the races being I given by the Brees© Driving club. Of- J ders came over the long distance phone from Springfield and were ft* supplement the instructions by l^h ! 1 ] ter previously sent by the governor. ' Sunday morning the sheriff an- nounced that he would not attend th»; races, but left immediately after re- f ceiving the orders by telephone. Sua- ^ day night he announced that he saw flo violations, although the races were • , pulled Off. He said if there was vi ^ olation of the law prosecution will" • follow promptly. , All of the trouble was caused by !&• «. . C. Lloyd, who wrote the governor. ^ne latter wrote to the sheriff as foiS? ̂ lows: " '. *> "I am in receipt of a letter from ^ C. Lloyd of Breese, Clinton county, |fc copy of which I inclose herewith. the facts are such as are related i|t his letter it is your duty to see thai; the law is enforced. Please make it report regarding the matter contained; : in Mr. Lloyd's letter and ohljge." ^ „ The Lloyd letter to the governed#- / reads as follows: *£;'• 'The Breese Driving and Fair a*h5; sociation of Breese,'111., wiiyiave se|»: ' eral horse races on its grounds oft Sunday, Sept. 17, in open violation' ; of the law. Will you see that the state law is enforced at that time? %*,* • inclose stamped envelope and wisljt you would notify me of what actiota^! you will take in the matter. .Trus#^ ing that you will give this matte* your immediate attention and tha you will stop such violation of th law." Boycott Informer. At the time this letter was writt Lloyd was making his headquarters l|| Breese as the chief of a party of^f young men engaged in making a sur­ vey for the state. When the officers - of the driving club learned of his a<^t tions through Sheriff Ragan they d^j|f nounced him in the bitterest terms., < They made angry demonstrations an4t* he called on the sheriff for protection.'; Since then the fight has been made sfff disagreeable for Lloyd and his mejp that they have changed their hea#w quarters to Carlyle. EJyen the Breese livery stable owners refused to hirgf rigs to them at any price. ,Kt- This is the second time Gov. Denee^! has Instructed Sheriff Ragan to enap fqpee the law in Breese. The flrsfiy, time the sheriff made it convenient ti£? remain away from Breese while tht races were in progress. The associa­ tion then was fined for allowing gam line, but qo attempt was made t stop the violations by the sheriff sinc^ it has been found that the governor will compel the county officers to re­ move their goggles when violation's of the law occur before their eyes. It is feared a general enforcement of the blue laws may follow. The1 sheriff does not appreciate the work being forced upon him.
