PK0BING THE TRUST

GAS INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE HOLDS ANOTHER MEETING. How Ibe Stock of the Conaumers' Company Is Gradually Gathered In. .Messrs. Young and Allen, of the Council gas investigating committee, with the associate committees from the Board of Trade and the Commercial Club, met last evening at the Mayor's office and listened to representatives of the Consumers' Gas Trust Company explain their affairs and tell their reasons why meters 6hould be adopted for measuring natural gas. Bement Lyman, secretary of the company, was the only witness sworn, but the other representatives present were so Interested in Mr. Lyman's success that they frequently volunteered answers, so that at times three or four were talking at once. The answers at one time were so confusing that Mr. Allen rather sarcastically suggested that all preseat be put under oath and allowed to testify at once. John P. Frenzel did most of the talking, and he relieved Mr. Lyman from answering questions every time that gentleman stopped for a moment to consider. Mr. Frenzel made an earnest appeal for the adoption of meters, and he said by their use the cost of gas would be reduced, that there would be a saving of 23 per cent, in food from destruction by overheat, that the .stockholders would never be paid if meters were not used, and that by their use gas would be Insured for many years to come. The members of the joint committee did not see the situation exactly as stated by Mr. Frenzel. The meeting was a spirited one, and it was marked by Intimations upon the part of the committee and many answers from the representatives of the company and frequent choice bon mots. The testimony which impressed the committee as being the most' Important was given by Mr. Lyman, and was to the effect that the trust began operations with 5.3C0 stockholders, and now has but 2,496, . and that the largest block of stock in the' beginning was $1,500, while now there Is one person who holds $70,000 In stock, while there are several who have considerable sums Invested. Mr. Lyman was not pressed to give th- names ot the principal stockholders, but after the meeting Mr. Allen remarked that they would have to be given before the committee adjourned or a reason would be demanded in the courts. . When Mr. Lyman took the stand Mr. Young wanted the witness to proceed with any statements he had to make, but the witness said he was there to answer questions. Mr. Smiley Chambers then began to make inquiries regarding the last financial statement made by the directors of the Trust. Mr. Lyman said the company began with an indebtedness of $1,207,000. Of this amount $602,000 was in the form of certificates of indebtedness issued to the stockholders. In January of 1S93 there was Incurred interest to the amount of $183,000, for which certificates of indebtedness were Issued to the certificate holders. Mr. Frenzel undertook to explain why stock had been issued for this indebtedness, for the matter was not clear in the minds f the committee. Mr. Frenzel said the trustees' had thought it advisable to issue incurred interest stock. The trustees had calculated 8 per cent, to the stockholders 1n this issuance. Mr. Chambers said it looked to him as If the trustees had fixed it so the stockholders could receive interest upon their Interest, or compound interest. Mr. Frenzel denied that such was the case, and explained that the stockholders had received absolutely nothing, and it wa3 thought something was due them. "Would not the income of the company for the fiscal year 1893 have paid the Interest without causing the company the necessity of issuing interest stock?" asked Mr. Chambers. "It would not," answered Mr. Frenzel. "We had the Broad Ripple mortgage to meet, and the field expenses were heavy." Mr. Lyman picked up a copy of the last fiscal year's report and began to explain ' the different items. Mr. Frenzel said it was a hard thing to understand if a person is unacquainted with the manner of doing business. He added that a majority of the railroad statements published are difficult to solve except by persons acquainted with the business and familiar with previous statements. Mr. Chambers admitted that he did not understand the cash balance of $416,000 on hand last October in connection with the company's claim. Mr. Lyman said the statement was a mistake, and Mr. Frenzel again explained that it must be remembered that a great majority of that amount is "invested earnings," and that at the end of the last fiscal year ihere was but $97,000 on hand. By invested earnings, he explained, earnings which have been invested. "I must say," remarked Mr. Young, "that the statements issued by the company are misleading." "Not at. all," replied Mr. Frenzel, "if a person but stops to consider them and compare them with the statements of past years." 'If a man makes $20,C00 a year," explained Mr. Lyman, "his earnings will show $20,000 although he may have invested $19,000 of that In his business." In their statement the company made allowance for depreciation of stock, which does not appear on its face. Mr. Frenzel explained that there had been a wonderful depreciation. After Mr. Frenzel and Mr. Lyman had explained the finances of the trust the commmittee began to ask questions of a more general nature. Mr. Lyman, in answer to questions, said the disbursements since last November until April 1 were $250,(XK. The stockholders drew $146,000 and $25,000 went to meet the Broad Ripple bonds. There was cash on hands to the amount of $25,000 April 1. Neither Mr. Lyman nor Mr. Frenzel would state the field area of the company. "Taking the earnings of last year as a criterion," asked Judge Martindale, "could you not pay out all stock in three years?" "No sir," replied Mr. Frenzel. "Whose company is the trust," asked" the Judge. . "Perhaps some one else can tell that," replied Mr. Frenzel with disdain. "Does-your company think its first obligations Is to the stockholders rather than to the consumers," asked Mr. Young. -"No, sir; n, sir; no, sir;" answered Mr. Frenzel. Mr. Frenzel next set forth the benefits to be obtained by the use of meters. He said It would teach the poor people economy in food, for now fully 33 per cent, is lost in food value by too much heat. He said gas by meter measurement at 25 cents a thousand feet Would be cheaper than at present. Judge Martindale Informed Mr. Frenzel that he was mistaken. "According to your reasoning," began Mr. Allen, "If a man used enough meters he would get his gas for nothing." "According to your way of figuring he might," replied Mr. Frenzel, with some show of anger. Mr. Frenzel then told of a few of the ways in which gas is wasted. Mr. Lyman had some figures which he introduced. Since Feb. 1, 1893, instances have been reported where gas was being stolen from the company, by which is meant places where gas is obtained without any compensation being received by the comEany. The company has discovered 1.449 ored out mixers. Mr. Frenzel said this amounted to a great waste. Mr. Allen intimated that if the company sustained the pressure required by ordinance there would be no need of boring out mixers. "Do you mean to say, Mr. Allen," asked Mr. Frenzel, "that the ordinance prescribes the pressure?" "That is what I mean," answered the committeeman. "You are mistaken," replied Mr. Frenzel. "Suppose I am," retorted Mr. Allen. "There is nothing In the ordinance which specifies what size hole there shall be in the mixer." Mr. Frenzel suid the mixer used Is the standard, made by a Cincinnati firm. Mr. Lyman said the company had recently lost about eight hundred consumers, and-it now has 12,000. He said there was no agreement between the Trust and the Indianapolis company regarding what consumers should be taken on the Unea. "Do the stockholders have any voice regarding the affairs of the company," asked Judge Martindale. "They do not," replied Judge Lamb. The layter explained the stockholders signed their stock to the trustees and that they are given certificates to show as much. Mr. Lyman said the board of trustees was selfperpetuating. All transfers of stock had. to be recorded at the office. He did not know of any transfers which have not been recorded nor did he know the per cent, of stock held by original stockholders. The committee did not ask outright for the names of the leading stockholders. Mr. Frenzel suggested that Judge Martindale and Mr. Chambers be appointed a subcommittee to investigate the affairs of the Trust ofllee, thus ignoring the Council committee. Judge Martindale reminded him of the fact and then Mr. Frenzel suggested that Mr. Young be the representative from the Council. Mr. Martindale asked that Mr. Allen be put on the committee, but Mr. Frenzel made no reply and -it was accepted. There will be another committee meeting Friday night and. in the meanwhile.' the subcommittee will visit the Trust office. IT HAS .MAILED AX OKl'Elt. Xew York Company' Propositi for ' IMftponIns; of Garbage. Dr. V. W. Hays, president of the Board of Health, has received a tclcram from the

American Reduction Comparty. of No. 2 Wall street. New York, saying that a proposition to the city for disposition of garbage and night soil has been maiied. Tn a letter to Dr. Hays, writ'en two wcpks ago, the company said it would dispose f the city's refuse free. In order to obtain fertilizing material. Tr a oroposition of the company will be considered by the Board of Health and city otfV-.als, and ii committee will probably be chosen to visit New York and se a ulant of the company's In operation. Should the New York company receive a contract with the city it may be necessary for it 10 purchase the plant of the Indianapolis Desidiil iar Company .it the price asked. $13,.W. The Indianapolis company has a ten-year etrat, h!rh it refuses to give in for a less ligurc. Communications from otf.cx cities show that n many places lare ums are paid for the disposition of garoie and niht soil, and should this city get the work done free ot expense it will be a benefit to the taxpayers. Dr. Hays, wno obtained the present offer, has devoted much time and study to the question, and no system will be adopted which 13 not altogether satisfactory. Wanted the City to Move Hl Fence. He was a heavy set man with a square jaw and a determined looking eye. He was standing at the desk of Clerk Parker, of the Board of Works, yesterday afternoon, and from all indications he was very angry. "We are not going to put up with it," he was heard to say. - "The same question has arisen before and others have made no complaint," replied "That don't make a bit of difference," replied the man, "if others have been imposed upon It does not mean that we shall be. No, sir, we are going to have this matter settled." The indignant citizen walked out. "What was the matter with him," asked several men standing near, who had heard a part of the conversation. "He is one of the many. Nothing unusual, gentlemen," answered Mr. Parker. "The board has vacated a strip of ground and he thinks the city should pay for moving his fence." City Sanltarian'a Laboratory. City Sanitarian Wynn is looking about for a suitable location for a laboratory. Under the amendment providing for a sanitarian, it will be necessary for him to do a great deal of laboratory and microscopic work. The present room occupied for the Board of Health is not suitable for such purposes and there are no first-class rooms in the courthouse basement. - Dr. Wynn thinks the ground room in the northwest corner of Tomlinson Hall would be a good place. He has a plan for connecting he lower and upper rooms with a stairway aod using them for the department of the city sanitarian. An Eaat-Street Remonstrance. There is a remonstrance being prepared against the improvement of East street, from Washington street to Massachusetts avenue. The Boara of Works ordered papers prepared for the improvement last Friday, but many of the property owners are objecting on the grounds that they do not want the improvement this year, as they have been burdened with sewer assessments. There are other property owners along the street who object to asphalt. v

Alley to He Thoroughly Cleaned. The down town alleys are xo be cleaned thoroughly- The Board of Health has decided to adopt special sanitary measures this season. The officers have been; instructed to order residents to remove all debris from alleys. Attention is also called to the fact that there is an ordinance against burning debris in alleys or . depositing material In boxes placed there. Raymond-Street Improvement. There is going to be an objection mad to the . widening and improving of Raymond street from Shelby, street to Garfield Park. The board has under consideration the improvement so as to afford an opening to the park. It is said that a remonstrance is being prepared. , Minor Municipal Nevra. The City Dispensary cost the city $282.59 during March. , Final contract for street sprinkling will be let this morning. ' The new City Hospital and Dispensary internes will take their positions May 1. Mayor Denny says the new park commission will not have control of trees along public streets. The laying of a twenty-tw.o-foot asphalt roadway on Wralnut street, from Pennsylvania street to Massachusetts avenue.ls to be considered by the Board of Works. Many residents of the street woull like to se it opened through the Blind Institute grounds, if possible. The Civil-service Board is going to conduct the examination for sanitary officers early next month. All those recently appointed will have to take the examination. City Attorney Scott has not yet decided whether the Board of Safety or the Board of Health has the appointment of sanitary officers. , , EVERY STAKE BUT ONE FILLED. Indianapolis Driving Club Feels Prond of It Entries. If the manner in Which the entry book of the Indianapolis Driving Club has filled up, the people of Indianapolis and the State may anticipate at the fall meeting some of th3 finest racing in the country. The club offered thirteen stakes, and twelve of them are filled, only one of the lot failing to attract entries. The total amount offered is $20,000. There are a total of 289 f entries in the twelve stakes, and it is expected that, there will be about 500 entries when the purse events are opened for candidates. The management of the club is much encouraged at the outlook. Other racing managements over the country are failing to receive entries for their events, they say, most of the racing associations and clubs being compelled to declare half of their events unfilled. It is claimed the Terre Haute management has, much to its chagrin, been forced to declare all of its events off on account of a lack of entries. With these signal failures in mind, the Indianapolis J3riving Club feels that the meet here promises big things, and if the people do not attend it Will not be from a lack of good racing. The twelve stakes are as follows: Stake No. 1 For two-year-old trotters, purse $800 ; 34 entries. . . : Stake No. 2 For two-year-old pacers, purso $800; 22 entries. Stake No. 3 For three-year-old trotters, purse $1,000; 14 entries. Stake No. 4 For three-year-old pacers, purse $1,000; 18 entries. Stake No. 52:30 trot; purse $1,000 ; 39 entries Stake No. 62:25 pace, purse $1,000 ; 31 entries. Stake No. 72:23 trot, purse $1,000 ; 32 entries. - Stake No. 82:18 pace, purse $1,500; 27 entrstake No. 9-2:16 trot, purse $1,500; 18 entrices Stake No. 102:12 pace, purse $1,500; 18 enStake No. 11 2:10; unfilled and declared fStake No. 122:09 pace, purse $2,000; 13 entries Grand Hotel Stakes 2:15 pace, purse $3,000; 20 entries. ... The 2:09 pace and the 2:12 pace are the principal events of the meet, and are attracting wide attention. Secretary Graves says that the 2:12 pace is to be the race of all races. With eighteen entries in so fast a class there certainly promises to be much true sport. Such horses as Jack Bowers, Tommy Brown, Hyanus and Ella Eddie are booked to start, and Mr. Graves says the winner will never again be permitted to enter in a class above 2:10, as it will have to be a race for time. In the 2:09 pace such horses as Gazette, Frank Agan. Venture and Seal will start, with eighteen other horses of like calibre. This promises to be the greatest stake event of the seaHon of 1S95. The best stables over the country and in Canada are to be represented in the coming meeting. The events of last year have so advertised the city and the Indianapolis track that the owners of the fastest horses intend to bring them here to try for the large stakes offered. Among the larger stables represented will be the J, C. Hamlin Village Farm, of East Aurora. N. Y J. B. Wathen. of Louisville. Ky.; Rockefeller, of Cleveland: Hill Stock Farm, of Dallas,; Tex.: Centliver Brothers. Fort Wayne; Harder & Custer, Logansport; Douglas Thomas. Paris. Ky.; John Payne, Lexington.; Pat Dickerson. Indianapolis, and the Keystone Stock Farm, of Omaha, Neb. Two More Police Commissioners. The West Indianapolis Council at its meeting last night appointed police commissioners for the Second and Third wards. Two weeks ago D. A. Williamson was made commissioner from the First ward. "Hpike" Gillispie for the Second ward, and T. V. Alsop for the Third ward were appointed last night. A number of petitions praying for cement sidewalks in various sections of the town wers read and referred to the city engineer. The petition asking Xor a stock ordinance was laid over.

THE BISHOP'S LETTER

RT. REV. MR. CJfATARD WARXS CATHOLICS AGAIXST IXGER.SOLLIS3I. The Learned Are Xot Troubled by Such Difficulties as Men Like Ingrersoll Saggiest. A letter bearing the signature of Bishop Chatard has been sent to the Roman Catholic congregations of thia city. The Bishop dwelt chiefly upon the needs of the Diocesan Seminary students and to the celebration of Holy Week. He also warned his people against that doctrine of which Col. Robert G. Ingersoll is the chief exponent In commenting upon the views of the infidel the Bishop said, without mentioning Ingersoll by name: "The Bible, which Is God's word to us, both foretells these events and'relates them as coming about in time. It Is precisely for this reason that the enemies of God and His revelation attack it and strive to ridicule It. Impudent and barefaced assertions which have been met and answered time and again by learned men, not mountebanks or superficial gatherers of objections from fees of the faith, who, though astray, yet were learned. The great writers of the church, in times past and to-day, have replied to such objections, not with evasion, but with a directness and argument that left no chance for cavil, as regards the main story of the Bible, its genuineness and its truthfulness. That in a compilation of books beginning with Moses, fifteen centuries before Christ, and ending toward the last years tof the first century after, with the revelation of St. John that In such a variety of writings, which we have not in the originals, the work of men not inspired and, therefore, liable to error, should present difficulties, some of which may never be cleared up for want of necessary knowledge, but which do not effect the consistence and truth of the main narrative is not to be wondered at. The learned are not troubled by such difficulties, for they know the weight of testimony, in favor of the Bible and quietly await the discoveries of science; which, as they are made, clear up these difficulties and vindicate the truthfulness and exactness of the Scripture. It is a source of never-ending pleasure to watch how this comes about. Some of the most difficult objections havw been solved by discoveries in the use of language and in archaeology. Thus Martin Luther thought the word abred, used by those who were to go before Joseph In Egypt, could never be explained, but its true meaning has been discovered In consequence of the study of Egyptian language and customs: it means bond your knee. "Again archaeology has shown the truth of the narrative of the Pentateuch in the existence of a great kingdom, that of the Elamites, whose kings bore the name of Kudur, or servant of some God. One of these, Chodorlahomorfc with his allies, among them the King of Sennaar, or Babylon, now known to have been subject to him, was defeated by Abraham, as we read in Chapter xiv of Genesis. We refer to these facts, dearly beloved brethren, that you mav not be troubled by what is said of the Bible by those who go about speaking against it. By no means, through curiosity or any other motive, go to hear such discourses. Those who do encourage the speakers and. therefore, co-operate in the crime committed by them against the Most High. Let us strive to have more of the spirit of the church, which. Is guided by the Holv Ghost and is. therefore, the guardian of the Holy Scriptures, and let us recall the words of the fourth session of the ecumenical council of Trent, which declares God to have been the author of the Bible, and shows for it. the greatest reverence. In fact, it is the custom of the general councils of the church to put the word of God, the Bible, upon an altar In the midst of the assembled fathers, as upon a throne." . DEADLY CENTER POLE JOHX REED CRUSHED TO DEATH AT ILLINOIS AXD WASHIYGTOX. r 4He Was a Street-Cur Inspector and ; Was Caught by . iuKleetric ' ; ' bar. John Reed, an inspector of. the Citizens' Street-railroad! Company, met death last night about 7:30 6'clock, at the corner of Illinois and 'Washington streets. Reed was hanging some headlights on the cars as they passed the comer and stepped on to an English avenue and Insane Hospital .car to place a lantern.:' The car had not turned on to Washington street from Illinois when he climbed on to the front end, and just there the poles are only about eight inches from the sides of the car, and not that much room is allowed when a car is making the turn. Reed evidently forgot the turn for as the car wheeled around he started to swing off on the side next the pole. Before motorman S. Dickerson could Btop his car, Reed had been caught between the car and the pole and the life almost crushed out of him. The car was reVersed and the unfortunate man fell unconscious to fthe ground. He was picked up and carried into the Bates House drug store where Drs. Crose a,nd Combs were called. It was seen that he was fatally injured and, after a short time, he was removed to his home on East Eleventh street. Dr. Combs attended him, but the man died from his injuries shortly after 9 o'clock. Coroner Castor was notified and made an investigation. There were few wounds visible on the body and it is thought that death was caused bv internal injuries. John Reed was about thirty-seven years of age and leaves a wife and an eleven-vear-old boy. He has been in the employ of the street car company for a number of years and has been a faithful and efficient employe. Manager McLean was notified of the accident last night and was much affected. He said that he had taken a personal interest in Reed and had promoted him from motorman to Inspector for his efficiency in the service and his fidelity to his duties. The remains were taken charge of by Flanner & Buchanan, and. the funeral will occur either- Wednesday or Thursday, burial beiag at the Salem Cemetery. WOMEN SUSTAINED THE OFFICERS. They Sold the Colored Patrolmen Drove Away Loafers. Yesterday afternoon Superintendent Powell made an examination of the charges preferred against patrolmen Ward and Carter by Thomas Callahan. Some time ago the colored policemen, were assigned to duty in the first district, and the corner of Ninth and Alvord streets, which is in that district, was a favorite loafing place. The officers were ordered to keep the corner clear, and one evening found Thomas Callahan there and tried to have him move on. The young man refused to obey, and the officers say they took him by the arm and marched him away. This was too much for the dignity of Callahan and he immediately filed charges against the officers alleging that they had struck and cursed him. , The charges were turned over to Superintendent Powell, and when the case came to trial yesterday afternoon the superintendent's office was filled to overflowing with witnesses. Considerable testimony was heard, the preponderance of evidence appearing to be in favor of the officers. An examination was also made as to the condition of the corner referred to. Twenty-seven witnesses testified, among them a large number of women, and eighteen of them stated that they had been greatly annoyed by the loafers who congregate on that corner every evening and all day Sunday. Several women said that they had been insulted while passing the corner. Young's grocery occupies the corner and the proprietor Is said to have stated that the boys may occupy the corner if they choose. After Superintendent Powell had heard the evidence he issued an order for a special detail of one officer to be placed on the corner, with orders to keep it entirely clar of loafers. He says that if the one officer does not prove sufficient he will send more. , Charters Aitulnst Patrolman ConVlin. The charges preferred against policeman Conklin by Charles Martindale will be considered by Superintendent Powell this afternoon,.

Every . Joint in His Body Racked by Rheumatism. Could Xot. Move HI Arm and Was In Constant Pain A True Story ' of a Remarkable Cure. W'illiam F. Maier, 18 Park place, Zanesville, O., says: "About a year ago I had to quit work on account of rheumatism. I had the disease in ray hips, back and arms, in fact, in every joint in my body. The pain was intense, and I suffered the most excruciating agony. My doctor could not do anything for me, and I tried every remedy that could be suggested; none of them did me any good, and finally my joints became stiffened and sore. At times I could not move my right arm, and was in constant pain. I procured a bottle of Munyoo's Rheumatism Cure, and within a short while was completely cured. I am free from stiffness and pain, and can cheerfully recommend Munyon's remedy as the best I have ever known." Munyon's Rheumatism cure acts almost instantaneously, curing many' obstinate cases in a few hours. It is guaranteed to cure rheumatism in any part of the body. Acute or muscular rheumatism cured in from one to five days. It never fails to cure sharp, shooting pains in the arms, legs, side, back or breast, or soreness of any part of the body in from one to three hours. It promptly cures lameness, stiff and swollen joints, and all pains in the hips and loins, chronic rheumatism, sciatica, lumbago or pain in the back are speedily cured. It seldom falls to give relief after one or two doses, and almost Invariably cures before one bottle has been used. Munyon's Homoeopathic Home Remedy Company, of Philadelphia, put up specifics for nearly every disease, which are sold by all druggists, mostly for 25 cents a bottle. was driving faster than the law allowed, and cautioned him to slow down. This aroused the indignation of the gentleman, and he preferred charges. Conklin has the reputation of being a careful officer, fearless in handling law violators, Irrespective of rank or station: SMALLPOX AT .TEFFERSONVILLE. Prison South Physician Consults with State Hoard of Health. Dr. D. C. Pay ton, physician to the Prison South, was la the city yesterday to confer with Dr. Metcalf, secretary of the State Board of Health, relative to an out-, break of smallpox in Jeffersonville. There are three cases there and the citizens are much frightened lest the disease spread. The local secretary of the Board of Health is at outs, it is said, with the majority of the physicians, and will not take the precautions that the wisest of the doctors deem necessary. They are therefore unable to act with the promptness that seems advisable, and they are making an appeal to the State Board of Health. It is feared that the city will be quarantined, and that the prfson will have to suffer with the rest of the city. It has only been a week or so since a man was taken sick and died of smallpox in Jeffersonville, and it is said that no proper precaution was taken to prevent the spread of the disease. It Is certain, however, that the present cases, cannot be traced to this one case. Dr. Metcalf will make an investigation. Waiter Collins Gives Himself I p. William M. Collins, who was wanted for assault and battery, gave himself up yesterdayafternoon. Collins was a waiter at the Park Theater restaurant, and one night several weeks ago became involved in a controversy with a customer. He hurled a heavy cup at him, but the man dodged and the cup struck a young woman waiter, knocking her senseless. Collins ran from th-i place and has since been in hiding in the city.

Lightweight Not Necessarily High Grade ome manufacturers of bicj'cles are putting great stress on the fact that they are making extremely light-weight machines. ,They refer to theirwheels being from one to three pounds lighter than the Waverley as a big card in their favor. The fact is, however, that these concerns sacrifice strength for lightness; 22 pounds is as light as any machine should be built for road use. It is a physical impossibility to go beyond a certain point in the strength of steel. There is no concern in the world better fitted to work steel than we are, and no bicycle factory in the world can produce any part of a bicycle that will staud a greater test than the Waverley parts weight for weight. The fact that there has never been a "Waverlv frame broken, under any circumstances, is good evidence of strength. The fact, also, that no other concern' in the world, that lias gone through one riding -season can say the 6ame of their output adds emphasis to our assertion. , .' ' " The great Zimmerman never rode a machine in any of his' big races lighter in weight than the Waverley. Why should any one need a lighter one for road work ? The Waverley is the Highest of all High Grades, because of our superior facilities not only to secure the best material, but to manipulate it after we get it. INDIANA, BICYCLE CO., HSSSL st.
