PETTIS DRY GOODS CO. OPENING UALL GAME. The "Fans" Can See the New Players Exhibit Themselves, This Is the eventful day on which the Indianapolis Western lvalue team gets action for the first time, though not in an extensive way, the opposing1 club being the Butler University nine, which, while doubtless strong In college company, will scarcely be able to hold Its own with the leaguers. The game will be interesting, however, because all of the Indianapoll3 pitchers and catchers will be given an opportunity to show their manner of playing, each going In for a few Innings. Thus a chance v.ill be afforded to size up the general style of their work. If Butler's pitcher proves effective the college tys might give the new club something of an argument after all. The game will be called at 3:30 and the Ohio-street grounds are ready for business for the season. The batting order will be as follows: Indianapolis AlcTamany, m.; Mills, 2d b; Leldy, 1. f. ; Graham, 3d b; Devinney, b. s. ; Gray, r. f.; I 'lock, 1st b; catcher, Westlake and Snyder; pitchers, Phillips, Orth and Mauck.

OPPOSED TO THE LAW

Board of Trade Governors on the Interstate-Commerce Act. A Protest Against the Income Tax Lively Meeting of the Committee to Discuss These Questions. The regular meeting of the governing committee of the Bard of Trade last ni?ht was devoted almost wholly to a discussion of the Interstate-commerce law, and the question of whether or not it was good taste on the part of the board to gently protest against the proposed Income tax. These matters were brought up for discussion by the reirort of the committee on communications and resolutions, the consideration of which occupied the entire evening. This report was as follows: "Your committee on communications and resolutions begs to report that it has considered communications received since the last regular meeting and would recommend action thereon as follows: The executive committee of the National Transportation Association submits a memorial for indorsement by this Board of Trade, in which Congress Is retitioned to amend the inter state-commerce law, to th5 end that all carriers shall be required to extend to all shippers fair and reasonable rate?, public rates, stable rates and ratss equitably adJusted to the protection of all localities and commuidties. and the penalties now denounced against individuals and shippers be abrogated and in place thereof severs money ienalties to be imposed ujon corporations whose servants or officials m-ay violate the provisions of the act. Your committee recommends the Indorsement of the memorial and that copies of It be forwarded to our Senators and Representatives in Congress. "Your committee would also recommend the approval of a petition presented by Mr. George L. Bradbury (member of this Ikard of Trade), and general manager cf the L. E. & W. railway, embodying practically the same amendments to the Interstate law as those submitted by the National Transiortation Association, that signatures to it be secured as requested in hi3 communication and then forwarded to our Senators at Washington city. "Another communication has been received from the executive committee of the National Transportation Association, in which it Is stated that the Chicago & Grand Trunk railway had agreed to place In the hand3 of all its agents, for general use, to the exclusion of all other forms, a plain, common law bill of lading (a copy whereof was inclosed), and that the executive committee had reason to believe that other lines would In the near future adopt a similar Instrument as their standard bill of lading, and that this action was the result of the persistent efforts of the National Transiortatlon Association. The secretary of this ?oard of Trade had been directed to acknowledge receipt of this communication and to express the gratitude of its members to tho National Transportation Association for its efforts In behalf of the shippers of the country. "A communication has been received from the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce, inclosing resolutions proposing to amend the interstate-commerce law, and requesting the Influence of this Board of Trade in securing their adoption. The secretary has been directed to reply to the similar communication and state that this board has now under consideration similar propositions to amend the interstate-commerce act, and that same will be acted upon at our next meeting. "A communication has been received from the Chamber of Commerce of the State of New York, embodying a memorial to Congress setting forth a number of reasons why it would be unwise to Impose a tax on Incomes. Also inclosing resolutions adopted by it In regard to the pending tariff bill upon our trade relations with Canada and urging that on the passage of the tariff law It should not become operative so far as Canada Is concerned, unless by proclamation of the President, and that such proclamation be issued only when advised by the commission to be appointed by him to meet a similar commission from the government of Canada. Your committee recommend that this board indorse the memorial protesting against the income tax and also the resolutions In regard to our trade relations with Canada. A communication has been received from the secretary of the WestChester Free Hospital. New York, which tho committee respectfully refers to your honorable body." HURTS THIS CITY This report was considered by paragraphs and those relating to the Interstate law were vigorously discussed and sat upon with a good deal of weight. It being quite evident that a majority of the members of the governing committee regarded the law a3 harmful to Indianapolis interests. D. P. Erwin supported the recommendation of the communications committee and said that the members who talked about the Injury tho law worked to Indianapolis were going back into ancient history, when the railroads here were, several of them, free lance?, so to speak, and cut each other's throats on rates all around. Now they were all In the big railway systems, and, naturally, there was littler no cutting. Mr. Gordon. Mr. Scott, 5lr. Hall and others opposed Mr. Brwln's view with much earnestness, contending that ten years ago any one of half a dozen grain houses here handled more grain in a day than do all the houses together now In a week. Mr. Hall said the Interstate-commerce act had practically wipe. I out the grain trade of Indianapolis, which, like other inland points, had been an excellent grain market. The lake and large river 1rts could always get a satisfactory rate. ut the inland points never, under the present law, the provisions of which were continually violated at these ports where competition of the water-ways made It advantageous to forget the law. Here the righteous freight agents, he held, knew nothing of these violations, and. there being no advantage to be had. they very naturally observed the law to the letter, and also to the detriment of Indianapolis. Theoretically, he said, Mr. Erwin, who contended -that the law protected the small and large shipper alike, was rifcht, but the theory was a good deal like the constitutional saying that all men were born free and equal. After some further talk Mr. Lazarus moved that the first paragraph of the report bo concurred in, and Mr. Kinney promptly moved to lay that motion on the table. This was done, and a motion then prevailed that the committee's recommendation be not concurred in. Similar action was taken on the second recommendation of the committee. The bill-of-lading" paragraph of the report, and also the paragraph following relative to amending the interstate-commerce act, went through without opiosition, but when, the recommendation on the Income tax and the Canadian reciprocity question came up there was another hitch. Edward Hawkins thought it unwise to mix up in a political question upon which the two great parties were squarely divided, and moved to nonconcur in the recommendation. Mr. Erwin didn't regard it as necessarily a political question, neither party being a unit on it. He l lieved it was a broad subject of general interest, and that if the Board of Trade wasn't liberal enough to consider subjects of such general importance then it was not fit for much. Mr. Hawkins insisted that nil Democratic Congressmen were for the income tax and Republicans against it, and if it wasn't politics he would like to know what was. INCOME TAX OPPOSED. Mr. Erwin insisted that the right of the United States to come into Indiana and tax all incomes of $1,000 and over was a question to be considered from a business rather than a political standpoint. If a two-per-cent. tax could be so Impost why not one of DO per cent. He insisted that It was clearly a business proposition, and thought the protest was not strong enough. The drift of talk favored the committee's report, and Mr. Hawkins's motion to nonconcur was defeated. He sprung the noquorum objection, but a roll call sho;ved just a. uorum present. lie then demanded the yeas and nays, saying it would be well to show just how we were helping Congress get away with this i roblem. The vote on 4us motion to nonconcur was as follows: Yeas Messrs. overman, Hawkins, Murphy. Ryan and RoUrt Scott. Nays Mesrs. Wildman. Sloan. 1 taker. Blaker, Krwin. Gordon, Hall. Hendricks, Holton, Ktr.nedv, Lazarus. Lilly, Perrv. William Scott, Shaw. Van Camp and WalHck. The recommendation of the committee on the income tax was then concurred in. The second i ortion of the paragraph, with reference to the trade relations of th!s country with Canada, was then discussed, and Mr. Gordon thought it better be dropped, as the board mi'-iht be regarded as drifting into politics. Mr. Krwin believed th' recommendation all riht and a compliment to President Cleveland. It was a fallacy not to take up clear business subjects because of their connection with politics. He called attention to the fact that the New York chamber of Commerce, which was agitating this question, was composed of 1 em.-rats and Republicans alike, and deprecated the mention of polities in the Indianapolis body. Mr. Hawkins insisted that tills Canadian reciprocity question had more politics in It than anything lately ?pruu, und wanted to know

why Mexico wasn't included as well as Canada, There was some further discussion, and the recommendation of the committee was concurred In by practically the same vote as the Income tax protest. A communication from the secretary of the Westchester Hospital, regretting the failure of the board to act favorably on the Cummings live stock transit bill, was read and placed on file. Mr. Ryan, who was absent at the last meeting, said he understood there wa3 some disposition to censure the membership committee for lack of energy. He wished to resent any such criticism, and explained briefly what had been accomplished by that committee, the board's membership now being full live hundred members. President Wildman praised the membership committee warmly, and deprecated any criticism that had been made, and upon motion of Mr. Erwin the governors extended a vote of thanks and confidence in the committee. The action of the governing committee in withdrawing from the National Board of Trade was, upon motion of Mr. Murphy, rescinded. The latter made the motion to withdraw at the last meeting, and says he still believes it to be the wise thing to do, but that, on account of the small attendance when this action was taken, he deemed it wise to allow the matter to come up before a full meeting of the governors. It Is likely that at some meeting in the near future the governors will again vote to pull out of the national board. Meanwhile Indianapolis retains its membership in that body. AN OPIUM -ORDINANCE

The Council Takes First Step to Break Up the Chinese Joints. Alabama-Street Ordinances Killed by Expiration of Time Contiiicrent Fund for Erroneous Assessments. The recent raid of an opium "joint" in Monument place has borne fruit and brought to notice the fact that there was no ordinance or State law against the conducting of such a place. At last night's meeting of the Council an ordinance was introduced making it an offense to conduct such a place. It provides that any person, corporation or firm who shall maintain any room, apartment or house where opium or other ncxicus or poisonous drugs shall be smoked, inhaled or kept for the purpose of being smoked or Inhaled, or who shall permit any person or persons to smoke or inhale opium or other noxious or poisonous drugs in. such rcom, apartment or houso shall. upon conviction thereof, be fined in any sum not less than flOO nor more than. iX), to which may be added imprisonment for six months. The ordinance also provides that any person leasing a room or building for such purpose shall, upon conviction thereof, be fined not less than f2T nor more than $200, to which may be added Impris onment for three months. The penalty for visiting such rooms is the same as that provided for leasing them for the purpose. Tha ordinance was referred to the committee on public morals. The ordinance providing a method for the sale of public property, which caused so much confusion at the session of the last city legislature, was called up and passed. It provides that property of less than fJM) in value may bo sold by the board under whose jurisdiction the property lsc l'ronerty valued at more than JUjO shall be sold by committee apiwlnted from the council. Under the head of reports from, committees Chairman Drew, of the sewers, streets and alleys committee, handed up a reiort on the Alabama-street ordinances and rec ommended their passage. In making his report he said he had just learned, during the day, that It would be necessary to take some action on these ordinances at the meeting or they would become void by lapse of time. He said he had not learned thl3 until late in the day, and had no opIortunity to call a meeting of the com mittee. At the proper time Drew moved to call tho ordinances from the committee. but this was promptly squelched by a motion from Mr. Shaffer to lay Drew's mo tion on the table. Shaffer said the ordin ance had never been before the committee. and he was opposed to taking them from the hands of the committee before it had time to act upon them. The motion to lay on the table was seconded by Hennessey, ana carried. THE PESTHOUSE SALE. A message was received from the Mayor calling the attention of the Council to the proposed sale of the present site of the pesthouse and the old ordinance authorizing the sale, of the property. He said there were doubts as to the validity of the old ordinance, and submitted to tho Council an ordinance repealing it, and also a new ordinajice providing for the rale oC the property. He urged upon the body the necessity of immediate action and asked that both ordinances be passed htst night under a suspension of the rules. Two members were absent, and, under the recent construction of the city attorney that th requirement of a unanimous vote to suspend the rules meant every memler of the Council, it was impossible to suspend the rules, and the ordinances were compelled to take the usual course. A request was received from Controller Truslcr that the Council transfer from the sewer fund to a fund to be used in refunding to property owners erroneous and doubly-paid assessments for public Improvements. The request was referred to the finance committee. The proprietors of Irwin & Son's showsent a request to the Council that they be permitted to give a performance in this city without payment of the usual license fee. Their request was based upon the statement that the show had been equipped In this city, and all the materials used and wagons built had been secured here as nearly as possible. A facetious councilman moved that the request be sent to the committee on public morals, but It was sent to the finance committee. The finance committee recommended that the petitions of Messrs. Morris and V.'tghorst for reimbursement for alleged overpayments of taxes be referred to the city attorney, which was done. The committer recommended the passage of the bond refunding ordinance, and it was passed. When the vote was taken upon th? final passage of the ordinance Costello asked to explain his vote. He said the finance committee met a half hour sooner than the time set when this ordinance was before it for consideration, and had never given the minority an opportunity to even sign the report. He then voted "aye" for the ordinance. President Allen said lie wanted to inform the heads of committees that the minority was not to be ignored. Chairman Rauh, of the finance committee, said the meeting had been called to order because several of the members who were present had urgent business to attend to that would prevent their remaining if it was not called early. He said the meetings of the committee were held on Friday nights for the accommodation of the minority. An invitation was received from the Women's Council, which meets at the Propylaeum on April I. for the Council to attend the meeting. The Invitation was received and accepted, and ordered spread upon the minutes. Ilefuscd to Heduce IlateN. The Western Passenger Association lines have refused to make the reduced rates asked by some of the largest gatherings to be hsdd during the year. In no case was the rate asked under one fare for the round trip. Among the requests refused for cheap rates to annual meetings are thos? of the Catholic Order of Foresters. Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor, Haptist Young People's Unions of America and the encampment of the U. A. II. at Pittsburg. Th? principal cause of the refusals was that in m--t instances a return limit of too great length was asked. IlillNldc-Avenae Cltureli AfTnlrft.

TOOK CARBOLIC ACID

Julius Cliomel Commits Suicide in an Illinois-Street Saloon. Had a Tumor on His Rrain and Had Heen Drinking Heavily His Peculiar Actions. Yesterday, shortly after 12 o'clock, Julius Chomel, aged thirty-two years, residing at No. 100 West Georgia street, killed himself by taking a heavy dose of carbolic acid. In the Club saloon. Helnlien & Thompson proprietors, Xo. C5 North Illinois street Chomel had just recovered from a long period of drinking and his mind was un doubtedly unbalanced from the unusual test to which it had been subjected. About noon he went to the Helms drug 6tore, Xo. Zl North Illinois street and asked the clerk for 13 cents worth of carbolic acid. The clerk inquired as to Its use. "Well, replied Chomel, "I'm going to kill some roaches. Do you think that stuff will do it?" "Sure thing," answered the clerk. "Do you think this is enough to kill a man?" queried Chomel as he was handed the bottle containing an ounce of the acid. "Yes. It will lay him out in a jiffy, rescinded the clerk, "and I advise you to be careful as to how you use it." "Oh, I am on to it," was the answer as Chomel disappeared through the door and walked north on Illinois street. He went into the Club saloon and, after a few moments' conversation with Proprietor Thompson, who was at the bar, he asked for a glass. "What do you want with a glass?" asked Thompson, as he handed him a small wine glass. "Oh, I am not feeling well, and I want to take a HtUe medicine." He went into a wine room in the rear of the saloon, where the wash basin was and for the next few moments nothing was heard of him, until he was seen coming from the room with a wild look on his face and iij a somewhat shuttling manner. "Good-bye. boys. 'Skip's gone." said he to oilie Lanham and Will Ousley andi several others who were In the saloon. Ho shook hands with them and then staggered out the rear door. Will Ousley noticed that 'Skip," as he was familiarly called along the "levee," was unusually white about the lips. Just then Chomel was seen to fall in a heap on the brick walk. "My God," shouted Ousley. "Skin has killed He immediately hurried to the City Dispensary to summon a phvsieian. Iinhnm Thompson and several others rushed to where Chomel was lying on the walk. He was breathing with difficulty. He wn Mr. rled into the saloon where he expired in a few moments. He was unconscious when found and only once were his lips seen to .novo as n ne wouiu sreaK. but his efforts resulted only in a slight gurgle. He closed his eyes and was dead. Dr. Terrell, In company wun uusiey. arrived at th s moment, but the doctor saw at once that he was not needed and left. Chomel's lody was taken to Itenihan, Dong & Hedges's morgue. No. 72 North Illinois street, just across the street. Coroner Deck was informed as was also Chomel's family. Coro ner uecK could state nothing only that v,iiuiuei must nave sunerea intense agony in me iew moments percre nis death. Alexander Chomel. the dead man's father. was away from his otfice and did not learn or his sons death until several hours later. Chomel's brother went to the monrue and. although very much shocked. stated that his brother's actions did not greatly surprise him. The family was seen a3 their home. No. 1(H) Hest Georgia street. Mr. Chomel Is proprietor and editor of the Catholic ltecord. He has been established there for several years. The establishment and the family home are in the same build ing. Chomel has, at times, worked on the ltecord, but not recently. During the last several weeks he has drunk heavily and his mind was affected. This was noticed by his relatives and the workmen on the ltec ord. Yesterday morning Chomel acted verv peculiarly. When any member of the family spoke to him, he would look at them In an insane-like manner and rush past them into the rear yard. He did this several times-until noticed, about 11 o'clock, by tiorge diiiow. an employe in the omce. Billow and Chomel were strong friends and Chomel did not attempt to elude him. Pillow asked Chomel what was the trouble. "Oh, George, I believe I am going crazy. My brain is all afire. I am going to kill myself. Pillow remonstrated with him and finally succeeded in getting him to promise to stay in the ltecord clhce until his return. Pil low went over to Illinois street to get shaved and returned In about ten minutes. Chomel had disappeared. It was Pillow's Intentions to summon an officer and have Chomel locked up until the exact condition of Chomel a mind became known. He. at the time, suspected that Chomel's mind was deranged. hen he round Chomel missing. he at once surmised that Chomel had de termined to kill himself. Several week's ago, Chomel's mother re quested the proprietors of the Club saloon not to sell her son any liquor. The request was granted and, though Chomel stai I around the saloon a great part of the time, he was never given or sold any drinks. A day or two ago Chomel was conversing with the bartender on the recent suicides. Chomel stated that those per sons were all out of their misery. "Tom, sail Chomel abruptly to the oartender, "Have you a gun handy around here?" "No," was the reply. "There Is not one in tho place. Put what do you want with a gun?" "Oh," was tho answer, "I want to kill myself." Chomel's friends and relatives are of the opinion that Chomel's death was the result of temporary insanity. They are equally confident that, if he had been in his right mind yesterday the awful tragedy would not have occurred. His body will be taken to his home on Georgia street, and the family will take charge of the burial. CITY NEWS NOTES.
