Board of Work Makes It Pollle to Saddle u Harden of 92'S.OOO on the City by Its Action. The Roard of Works yesterday accepted tljo bid of Andrew Hermanny & Co. to collect the city garbage for the next six years. The contractors will receive $21,007 a year for the work, a. total of $149,9S2. There is one provision of the contract, as stated in the minutes of the loard, that makes it possible for the bid that has been accepted to become a very dear contract to the city. There were nine bidders, and each bid on tho basis of delivery to the plant of the Indianapolis Desiccating Company and to Sellers farm. It is provided In the minutes of yesterday's meeting that the bid of Hermanny & Co. be accepted and tho garbage be delivered to the plant of the desiccating company. It is also provided that If at any time it is found best to do so the contrnct may be changed so as to require the delivery of garbage to Sellers farm. On the latter, proposition the bid of Hermanny &. Co. is $23,000 higher than the bid of J. R. McCarthy, of St. Louis, or a difference of almost $.tKJ0 a year. Under this provision it Is possible for the Boarel of Works to saddle a contract onto the city at a very high rate There were two other bids for delivery to Sellers farm which were lower than that of Hermanny & Co. Mr. McCarthy objected to the acceptance of the bid of Hermanny & Co. because he claimed it was Irregular. The certified check for $1,000 which was inclosed had not been indorsed to the board. After a consultation with the city attorney the board decided that the check could be collected by the board without indorsement, and then Hermanny was asked to indorse It, which he did. The bid was then accepted. The bids submitted were as follows, each bidder blelding on the basis of delivery to the plant of the desiccating company, to Hellers farm and for the disposal of garbage for his own profit: Andrew Hermanny Desiccating: 1397 to 1902, Inclusive, J24.W7; total. $l.ls2.

THE ASSEMBLY'S WORK

AIlSi:Ci: OF Jl'MiKTl(i COMMITTEES BREAKS A Ql'OHl'SI. Brief Morning Sennlou of the Senate llotiwe Entrnged with Work Upon Minor Measures. The question of the Vandalia Investigation created a breeze In both houses of the General Assembly yesterday morning. The Democratic organ yesterday morning contained a Fevere attack upon Lieutenant Governor Haggard, charging him with first attempting to throttle the resolution to Investigate in the Senate and then with railroading through a harmless substitute for it and putting the work of investigation in the hands of two senators who are local attorneys for the Pennsylvania system. Upon the opening of the Senate the Lieutenant Governor repPed to these charges in a dignified speech, in which he declared the attack without foundation. He gave a history of ths resolution, showing that the attorney general had been left out at his own request, and that he had suggested Senator La Folletta as a member of the committee. These statements the attorney general substantiates. In the House there w.is a strong feeling that the substitute adopted by the Senate the day before had been for the purpose of shutting the attorney general out of the Investigation and making it ineffectual. Mr. Henderson, the author of the original resolution that passed the House, gave expression to this feeling by Introducing a resolution calling upon the attorney general to transmit to the House all Information ho could obtain in regard to the claim of the State against the Vandalia company. This was adopted without dissent and without discussion. When the Senate resolution was handed down that body was given another slap by the unanimous adoption of a motion to return It without approval. The Senate took up and passed under suspension of the rules the bill that passed the Houso the day before requiring county officers to take acknowledgments of pension papers free of charge. After listening to a few committee reports the Senate adjourned until Monday. The House remained in session all day and will bo In session again to-day. A part of the morning its time was devoted to the Introhuction of new bills, and among them were two freak measures. One of these, by Mr. Fornshcll. declares It a misdemeanor for a woman to wear a high hat In the theater. The other, by Mr. Patterson of Franklin, declares football an unlawful sport and Imposes a fine of $25 upon any person who In any way participates in the game. The rest of the morning was devoted to bills upon second reading and committee reports. The House concurred in favorable reports upon a bill to create a labor commission and providing for voluntary arbitration, a bill for a commission to make a thorough revision of the laws relating to city, county and township government, and a bill limiting very greatly the authority of township trustees in purchasing supplies. There was something of a contest over the effort to amend the pending age-of-consent bill to tlx It at seventeen instead of eighteen years, but the House by an overwhelming vote engrossed the bill in its original form at eighteen years. SliXATK'i BRIEF SESSION. Four .Minor Bill Panned Yesterday Morning, Presiding Elder Duncan, of the M. E. Church, delivered the invocation at tho opening of tho Senate yesterday morning. After Lieutenant Governor Haggard had arisen and addressed the senators on tho Vandalia resolution as a matter of "the highest personal privilege," tho regular order of business was taken up and reports heard from committees. The finance committee recommended the amendment of the Houso resolution providing for a committee of seven from each branch and a competent engineer to visit the asylum for the insane at Evansville to examine the sewerage system. The amendment leaves out the engineer. The report was cortcurrenl in. A favorable report, was made by the committee on public health on Senator Hawkins's bill regulating the practice of mexllcine. This bill was formulated by the Indiana Medical Society. After favorable Teports on Senator Hawkins's bill changing the time for holding court In this county so that the terms shall begin each month instead of every, two months, and Senator Self's bill changing the time for holding court in the Thirel judicial circuit, on tho motion of the two senators the constitutional rules were suspended and both bills passed. When a messenger from the House announced the transmission of House Bill 3). Senator Campbell moved the suspension of the rules and the passage of the bill. It is similar to one introduced by himself in the Senate, and provides that county clerks, auditors and recorders shall attest pension papers without cost to pensioners. Senator Campbell's bill Included sheriffs, but as. thy have no seal they could not comply with federal reoulremenis and he moved the passage of the House bill as a substitute. The bill was passed. A number of amendments were oifered to Senator Nusbaum's bill regulating county commissioners and auditors. 'J here seemed to be considerable misunderstanding as to the purport of tho bill and it was made a special order for Monday morning at 11 o'clock. On the roll call lor new bills ten were sent up and read by tine. Among them was one by Senator Shively providing for the appropriation of Jo.OOO for the purchase of a statue of Oliver 1. Morton, to be placed In the National Statuary Hall. In the Capitol at Washington. A commission of three, to be appointe-d by tho Governor, is to be charged with the work of procuring the statue. A bill by Mr. Light is to dofray tho expenses of the commission appointed by the United States Supreme Court to establish a boundary line between Kentucky and this State-. It appropriates $1.11S for that purpose. At the rtemest of members of the alumni of De Pauw University. Mr. O'Brien introduced a measure permitting alumni associations to elect tour members of the board of trustees of educational institutions. Mr. O'Brien says it U claimed that the boards 01 most of the colleges are too small and that this is a good plan for enlarging them. He does not know whether the college boards favor the plan. Another Insurance bill was introduced by Senator Early by request. It makes It unlawful for foreign tire insurance companies to do business in this State without having received proper autnority from the aud itor or suite. At 11:30 o'clock Senator Hogate withdrew his motion to adjourn in order to allow Senator Alexander to call up his bill relative to the partition of real estate. It was passed. Some time before Senator ColJotte, chairman of the committee on benevolent Institutions, asked that the members of that committee. Senators White, Gochenour. Ellison and Rinear. be excused until Monday morning. The eommlttee had arranged to leave for Logansport. where it was to vi-it the asylum for the insane and then make a tour of other institutions of the State. leave of absence was grantee! them. Senator Ellison then moved that when the Senate adjourn it be until Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock, as the prison committee was also to le absent on a trip to Michigan City. Senator Collette objected to Die motion. He said both committees would be back by Sunday evening. Senator Ellison amended his motion, making the adjournment until Monday at li o'clock.

WORK OF THE HOUSE. Occupied Largely with Committee Report and Second Reiulinsc. The Hou'.' was In session all day yesterday. The first matter that came up was a slap at the Senate' In the Vandalia matter, due to tho impression that the substitute resolution adopted by the Senate was meant to prevent a thorough investigation. After the resolution upon this subject offered by Mr. Henderson had been unanimously adopted the House devoted an hour to the introduction of new bills. Mr. Llnck introduced the four insurance bills that Sci ator New introduced in the Senate the day before, Mr. O'Eannon pit In an anti-cigarette bill. Mr. Elliott introduced a measure for the protection of keepers of hotels and boarding houses, Mr. Sence introduced another usury bill and Mr. L.inck put in a fee and salary bill and a bill for the erection of a bust of Morton at Washington. Two bills of the ""freak order" were introduced. Mr. Fornshcll took up the crusade against high hats at theaters, and brought in a measure making it a misdemeanor for women to wear them. Mr. Patterson of Franklin, in the expectation of striking terfor to the hearts of college athletes. Introduced a brief bill declaring the game of football unlawful and making participation In it by anyone a misdemeanor, with a fine of $25 for the first offense and $50 for each succeeding offense. , Upon the second reading of bills the Shldelcr bill for a Superior Court in Grant county was engrossed. The bill for the discharge of prisoners came up, and numerous amendments were offered. Mr. O'Bannon made a loud speech, and got tangled up in the maze of amenelments. Tne bill was finally recommitted. There was a discussion of som length upon, the bill of Mr. Thomas fixing the age of consent at eighteen years. The education committee had amended this and made it seventeen years. Messrs. Thomas and Linck opposed the amendment, the former making an earnest and eloquent plea for the protection ot the daughters of Indiana. The House was with him. and the amendment failed. The bill was engrossed in its original form. Senate bills on second reading were taken "up and those on the speaker's table were passed to engrossment. The roll of committees was called, and a. job lot of minor measures met their death upon committee report. There were, however, some important measures reported favorably. The labor committee made a favorable report upon Mr. Roose's bill, elescrlbed at some length in the Journal upon its introduction, providing a method of voluntary arbitration in labor disputes and creating a labor commission of two members. The committee on county and township business reported favorably upon the bill of Mr. Roots, very greatly limiting the authority of township trustees In purchasing supplies. The bill provides that they may use their own discretion in making purchases up to $50. but for anything over that amount they must advertise their Intention to purchase and must submit the purposed purchase to the Board of County Commissioners for Its approval. The same committee reported favorably the bill authorizing the Governor to appoint three men. who shall serve without pay. as a commission to revise the laws relating to city, county, township and township-school government. Both reports were concurred in. ' The question of adjourning over until Monday came up upon a motion by Mr. Hart. Mr. Henderson spoka against the motion, declaring that the legislature was being accused of wasting its time and failing to do its duty. He favored Temalning in session during the daylljzht hours of every day in the week. Mr. Spooner also made a rather warm speech t?n the subject. He declared that some of the Indianapolis papers were asserting that most of the work was being done on the other side of the corridor and that tho House was wasting Its time. This assertion he desired to repudiate, and declared that all members knew that the Houso was doing' it fijl! duty. -He-wa.3 against the motion. - Mr. Hart withdrew il, and the House adjourned until afternoon. ' In the afternoon Mr.Svvope offered a resolution directing the doorkeepers to exclude all persons from the hall except ex-members and ladies, and It was passed. The House then took up bills on second reading, and considered briefly Mr. Roots's bill for the appointment by the Governor every two years of two hold-over senators and one member-elect. pC.the..Uo.use t0 visit the State Institutions' and "report upon their needs to the Legislature.)! Mr. Roose offered an amendment providing that no member of this committee should be from a legislative district In which an Institution is located. In the absence of the author of the bill the discussion went over. Mr. Canada's bill e'oncernlng orphans homes and regulating the sale of tobacco to children were ordered engrossed. So also were H. R. 115, by Morris, and H. B. 79, by Hall. There was something of a discussion upon Mr. Geisel's bill to abolish county assessors In counties of less than 25.000 Inhabitants. An amendment was adopted so that it should not affect present incumf ents, and Mr. East endeavored to amenel it so that It should i apply only to counties of less than lifte-en thousand, but this was defeated. Mr. McCart tried to have the enacting clause struck out, but failed, and the bill was recommitted. After the House had been working. for about an hour and it half upon tho second reading of bills a vote was taken upon the questiem of ad journing over until Monday, upon motion of Mr. riwope. arid this vote disclosed but lifty-eight members present. Under the rules the House at once adjourned until this - morning, when it will have to again adjourn for lack of a quorum. .cw Hoiikc BIHn. H.

Tax CommlsMldner Allen Opposed to I Snch a Meumire. The ways and means committee of the House met last night, with a very slender attendance, for the purpose of discussing the question of tax exemption. There were present Chairman Smith of the committee, Chairman Mull of the Senate finance committee and Messrs. Packard, Willoughby and Stettler of the ejommlttee. The tax commissioners had been Invited to attend the session, but Colonel Walker was 111. Captain Allen, however, had come' down from Frankfort and participated in the discussion. In reference to the question of mortgage exemption he said that such a bill was dangerous and bad In its effect. It would open, in his opinion, the doors to fraud and tax dodging, and would prove an unfortunate experiment that the State would have to drop within four years if it undertook it. He was unable to say how much It would take off the tax duplicate, because there would be such a rush of people to get into debt to the extent of the exemption. Rut ho did not think it would stop short of J100. 000.000 from the l,200,(Kk).wK on the eluplicate. He held the same views as to any proposition for exemption upon personal property. Tho committee will have a full meeting devoted to this subject early next week, at wheh both the tax commissioners will be present and more definite figures will be submitted upon the probable result of such legislation. Committee. tio A-Junketing. The House and Senate committees on prisons and benevolent Institutions left the city yesterday, that on prisons going to Michigan City and the committee on benevolent institutions starting for a round of all the insane hospitals located in other eitles. Tho party that started to the Prison North contained almost fifty people, including members, stenographers, newspaper men and others. Tho benevolent institutions committee hired for the occasion a sleeper, upon which they will live during the three days that they are traveling from one institution to another, and their car was crowded. YiBltliig the Prlnon North. yijecial to the Indianapolis Journal. MICHIGAN CITY, Ind., Jan. 3-2. The legislative commute to visit the .Prison North, which left Indianapolis hy the L. E. & W. this afternooon, arrived at 8:30. The Senate was represented by eighteen members and clerks, and the House by thirtyseven. At the station the party was met by Mayor Van Duse, Warden Harley, ex-Representative Culbert. C. J. Kobb, 1,. B. Ashton, H. A. Root, E. Shuaz, Police Commissioner Krueger, Dr. Sciiutt, S. J. Taylor and A. H. Liest. Street cars were in waiting and twenty minutes after as hungry a party as ever broke into the prison was eating an excellent supper. Ample provision had been made for tne entertainment of the party by the citizens, who are lavish in their hospitality. Insurance Legislation. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: House bills Nos. 278 and 27 are now pending in the legislature. Bill 278 is an amendment and limits the life Insurance companies that shall be deemed to be doing business on the assessment plan to only such Indiana companies as are organized under a particular act. Why not let It apply to all Indiana companies, and why make It apply to any or all Indiana companies only, and not apply to any company, association ,or society, doing a life insurance business in this State, that fails of slating delinitely in its policy contracts both the amounts tho holder shall pay to the company and the company shall pay to the holder? If this bill Is for any general or public good and Information,' and not lor the benelit and protection of one Indiana company, that seeks under this act to have its responsibility for the maintenance of the reserve, "according to the actuaries' or combined experience . table of mortality and i ier cent, inetrest," which It says in its policy it collects in its premium rates, limited to the responsibility only of a company doing business on the -'assessment plan," then the bill should be broadened as wiated. as not this company organized under the act the nrst nameM bill is intended to amend? With the lirst bill expressly detining the business ot the e'ouipany to be on the assessment plan and tnuR relieving it ot any legal necessity 01 maintaining any reserve, then tins company is ready ior the seconel bill, which allows it to write, all forms of both life and enuowment insurance contracts. Jt is now writing "wnat pui ports iO be ten payment lite, with premium rates at age forty, lor eacn $l,wu of ou.os. It now wants its presumption in that line legalized and its exemption from any responsibility for the reserve mane fast by an act of tnls legislature and to be allowed to write ten year endowment. As its premium rate tor the lirst torm Is higher than that charged by the New York tympanies,' and yet stnl higher than the rates of a number or other hrst-class "old line" companies, its premium rate on the last named torm would likely etpial the New York companies' late of $i.iL.lo. According to the Indiana company's contracts $ui.2 of the lirst nanud premium is reserve, and that of the last named would be $7D.-VJ. Should not this or any other company that collects any such rates for insurance be required to maintain at least the reserveit purports to collect in its premium rate? Such responsibility is now avoided by an assessment" provision, a right reserved to call for still more premium, and such companies, no matter how much the premium charge they collect., or their statement that they do collect the reserve as stated, are even required to make report to their policy holders or to the State authorities, that they have any of such reserve on hand. Indeed, it Is not called reserve any logger than Is required to obtain the application and the money: It Is then all -'assets'. with no liability charge against It. A provision in the second bill named, that omy such companies as by their contracts definitely limit the premium charges to amount named In the body cf the contract and delinitely promises to pay the amount named therein would cure the bin. and doubtloss cause the Indiana company to loose u.il interest in it. There is no patent on the writir.g of such contracts if made definite in the respects named. The Indiana company can write them any day it pleases by simply leaving out of its contract the right to call for more and more premium than th.ut named in its policy; but then it would have to maintain the reserve, and that U the one thing it is seeking to avoid. Would the company under Its seconu bill have to report to the state auditor the amount of the reserve. Its outstanding po.lcies called for. and state the amount it has on hand? And If some policy holder concludes that after having paid in so much the company thould make a showing of solvency, .-would it have to do It? Suppose the reserve it ought to have on

No. for by a very neatly arranged scheme, namely, by the two bills named, the rlpcht is reserved to go on in insolvency till the last dollar Is pone. This scheme ought not only not ko any farther, but this and all other companies that pretend to write "ordinary life" and 10. 1" and 20 payment life policies, ought either to be required to maintain the reserve they collect, for the benertt of the policy holders that paid it in. or be required to stop writing such policies. Companies to elo business on the assessment plan are as easily organized by men out of jobs and with as little responsibility as are bhildln? and loan associations, and the positions of the organizers as easily perpetuated. They ouprht not be allowed to provide for the earth as a premium rate, then reserve the right to call for more, and either thus or by these two bills be allowed to escape all responsibility for the immense amounts that must come into their hands. Is this protest in tho interest of the "old line companies? It is a hundred times more in the interest of the insuring public and square dealing with them. JAMES A. BUCHANAN. Indianapolis, Jan. 21.
