Augustus Rahke has: recovered $165 and the Bartenders' Union JU0, which they lost on worthless checks. and Charles Ramsey, a dapper young man. who Is the son of a Crawfordsvtlle banker, has escaped a penitentiary sentence. This is the sum and substance of a Police Court trial to day when Ramsey appeared as the defendant in a case of obtaining money under false pretenses. Flnley Mount, an attorney from Craw fordsvlllei with Prosecutor Holmes and Ramsey, stood In front of Judge Whal lon, talking in a low tone for about ten minutes.

At the end of the conference Judge WhaUon admonished Ramsey "not to do it again." and the prisoner and his attorney walked out. The warrant showed that the cases against Ramsey were continued indefinitely. Agreed Not to Protecute. Prosecutor Holmes explained by saying that Ramsey's father had settled all claims against the young man. and that attorney Mount had documents from Rahke and the Bartenders' Union, agreeing not to prosecute the defendant.

Attorney Mount pleaded for leniency. The detective department, Mr. Holmes said, ofTered no objection. Ramsey's trouble In Indianapolis dates back thirteen months, when he was a "guest" at Rahke's resart, opposite the Fair grounds. He owed Rahke $50, and afterward pretended to settle the claim with a check for J215.

Rahke cashed the check and deducted the $50. When the check was returned protested. Rahke found he had lost $166 by the transaction. A warrant was sworn out for Ramsey at the time, and he could not be found. About a week ago Ramsey came to Indianapolis and represented himself as an official of the National League of Bartenders and collected money from union members.

Ramsey's arrest led to an Investigation of the local union's affairs by the league officials and they found that Charles Rugensteln, the secretary, was apparently short In his accounts. Rugensteln Is now under arrest and wlll.be tried April 26 on the charge of embezzlement. WILL FILE FRIENDLY SUIT TO ENJOIN FILING OF PLAT Land Owner Along Wathington Boulevard and Arthur V.

A friendly suit will be instituted to en Join the county recorder from filing Mr. Brown's plat In the records.

What Brown Said. In defining his position Mr.

Brown said: "I do not want to stand in the way of the progress of the city. I agree with the owners of land abutting on Washington Boulevard that their plan is feasible. I am Impressed with the. Impor tance of Washington boulevard as tntt city's prominent drive from Fall creek to Broad Ripple," and as the property owners south of Forty sixth street ex press a willingness to spend thousands of dollars for its Improvements in the near ruture. I am wining to change plat to conform to the boulevard plan aoutn, providing tnts street is ooenen south of me, which is now blocked for two squares south of Forty sixth street and has, been so blocked for over thirty years.

think that the street thus opened ana improved will give to the abutting land a great future and will make this street the most desirable In the city tor tine residences." CYCLE RUN ON MAY 1.

CHILDREN MAY BE SOLE HEIRS The, friendly suit of the Central Trust Company, trustee, to have the will of Daniel P. Erwin construed has developed a sharp legal that may have the result of cutting off Charles 1L Erwin, one of the heirs, from participation In the million dollar estate. It was thought with the filing of the suit that no further result than the determining of whether the will should stand or the heirs should take their shares under a con tract drawn by themselves shortly after Erwln's death need be expected. In the former Instance Charles Erwin. brother of D.

P. Erwin, receives an absolute fifth Interest in the estate. In the latter event his Interest would be only during his lifetime. It appears now, however, that there is a strong possibility of both the will and the contract being declared Invalid and tbe four children becomlnr the sole heirs. A.

thirty year trust provision In the original will is the cause of its validity being attacked, it being thought that the statutes with reference to perpetuities will not permit a trust of that length. In drawing up a contract, which made the trust one of twenty years, the situation Is not relieved according to the position of Martin Hugg, who is guardian ad litem for a child born since the death of Mr. Erwin. A contract of that character could not be made binding an infant, is his belief. Attorney Hugg has attacked the will on behalf of the child and to day attacked the contract, which has been introduced into the case on a cross complaint.

One Guardian Removed. Judge Carter to day appointed attorney Hugg guardian ad litem for a child of Mrs. William IL Coburn and a child of Mrs. Henry P. Coburn, two of the heirs, and Ferd Winter, who had been guardian, waa removed.

It" was held that since Winter la attorney for the defendants in this case he can not act as guardian for the children. Charles II. Erwin and H. B. Holloway, secretary of the Indiana Trust Company, testified again to day.

concluding v. A Tho onndltion of th DrOD ertles belonging to the estate was shown. Briefs on the legal points invoivcu wui be submitted, to Judge Carter soon, and i. i. nnmih.im that no oral ar aument may be had In the case.

A decision is expect ed within a snorx time. CORONER HEARS TESTIMONY. Jamet Rutherford Told of Bodies In Hotel Ruins.
