Louis Schultz, STILL KICKING Are Members of the Police Force Over the Latest Order. Much favorable comment was heard in circles yesterday over the stand Tam police ENQUIRER has taken in reference to the order which has recently been promulgated in reference to members of the force signslips as to their whereabouts. The conIng sensus of opinion is that the order will be a failure, as stated yesterday, and that a trial of it is not necessary to show it. It fact, the members of the department and those familiar with police business regard the order as backward step. It will reduce the work of the police telephone operators, WHY NOT USE.

A TYPEWRITER? and some of them may be dropped from the pay roll to make room for more patrolmen. This rumor is current, but it is dented by Colonel Deltsch. It is claimed by the, Superintendent of Police that the new order will work all right in time, and that those who are opposed to it do not understand it. The change is that patrolmen must sign their names on paper slips in patrol boxes and then call up the police telephone rator, as is the custom at present. The operator, however, these is calls, not and compelled the to object keep of a record of the men calling up is to see if they are wanted.

If the men are not at the various boxes in time to sign these slips they must write out the reasons why they were unable to do so. An ENQUIRER reporter has talked to large number of policemen and Lieutenants, Sergeants and patrolmen they are a unit in their stand that the new rule will never work. It will bring more work of a clerical nature on the men, and the some will claim that the wearers of this blue. work. and brass are trying to some shirk conscientious extra men there must be in the department, and when they are opposed to the new rule to a man it must be impracticable.

TOUCHED FOR HIS TIMEPIECE The midnight Nicholas strode across room at he felt for piece was police were George inal, who George and carrying Judge Gregs Abrabam Well, formerly Vice President of the Sherman Loan and Building Association, is under arrest on the serious charge of unlawfully obtaining the sum of $2,182 45 from the Sherman on August 25, 1804. He was captured.

at Cleveland yesterday morning and brought to this city last night. His arrest was the result of some clever work on the part of Constables Al C. Bailey and Henry Pleiffer, of Magistrate M. G. Davies's Court.

The warrant, sworn out in Justice Davies's Court by Eugene W. Mente, manufacturer of bags and sacks at No. 49 Vine street, alleges that Well unlawfully pretended to the loan company, through its officers, that he was authorized by Annie Gottfried TO BE HER AGENT And collect from the company the sum of 82,182 45, which was on deposit there payable to her. He secured the money, it is claimed, and, according to the warrant, verted it to his own use. The Constables left Cincinnati last Monday night for Cleveland, arriving there at 1:50 a.

m. over the Big Four. Yesterday morning they started out In search of their man, whose address, according to the directory, was No. 18 Van Buren street. They went to that number and found he had moved.

They scoured the town over, and finally succeeded in locating Well's residence at No. 1117 Central. In the various places visited the officers were told by neighbors and small storekeepers that they would like to see Well very much to collect bills he had run. Messrs. Bailey and Pfeiffer did not find him at home, but they lay in wait for him several hours.

THEY FINALLY CAUGHT HIM When he returned and hustled him off to the Hollenden. His family at once heard of the arrest and started to secure a writ of habeas corpus for his release, but the officers gave them the slip by taking an electric car for Berea, where they later boarded Big Four train for Cincinnati. Weil is well known in Hebrew circles of Cleveland and Cincinnati. He lived here 15 years, first at 20 Grant street and later on Hackberry street, Walnut Hills. He was for seven years Vice President of the Sherman Loan and Building Company.

He went to Cleveland two years ago. He was in the business of purchasing tailors' trimmings. When questioned regarding his alleged crime he said the whole trouble was settled long ago, and that he would be able to clear himself. Judge Fred Spiegel is his attorney. Well will be arraigned before Squire vies this morning on the charge of obtaining money under false pretenses.

ANNETTE AHEARN Was With Billy Jones When He Killed Himself in St. -Sensational Story. The later developments in connection with the suicide of William E. Jones in St. Louis are of the sensational order.

It seems that Annette Ahearn, the young woman with whom Jones was infatuated, was with him at the time he took his own life, and witnessed the fatal act. Monday night Jones wrote a note and sent it to Miss Ahearn by a colored man. It read: "ANNIE: Come to me for the last time, at Ridgeway's. Yours, The St. Louts police learned of this note and officers were instructed to find Miss Ahearn.

They succeeded early yesterday morning. She told a thrilling story of the suicide. She said that she and Jones had quarreled, and she had left him. They met Friday night in a resort, and Jones took a large dose of morphine, but his life was saved by the physicians. Monday night she met him, as she says, accidentally, and went with him to Ridgeway's Hotel.

He pulled a revolver and sald he was going to kill her and himself. She told him to shoot, whereupon he turned the weapon upon himself and fired. She then ran from the building, telling Ridgeway on her way out what had happened. Her story was not satisfac. tory to the police, and she was placed under arrest.

The remains of Willam E. Jones, the theatrical man who ended his life in St. Louis on Monday by shooting himself, as detailed in yesterday's ENQUIRER, will arrive here this morning at 7:20 o'clock over the Big Four Rallroad. Undertaker J. J.

Sullivan will take charge of the body and convey it to the home of Mr. John Havlin, a brother-in-law of the deceased, on West Fourth street. The funeral services will take place at Mr. Havlin's residence tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, and only the relatives and immediate friends of the family will be present. Interment will be in the family burying lot in the cemetery at Madisonville.

The pallbearers will be Messrs. Charles H. and Harry Jones, brothers of the deceased; Mr. R. W.
