M. B. Wilson, chairman of the committee on permanent organization of the Indianapolis Concert Association, finds that even more interest is being taken in the undertaking than was hoped for. The committee last night sent out letters asking business men to become members of the permanent organization. The letter reads; “At a recent meeting called by J. C Adams, W. C. Bobbs, L>. P. Erwin, J. H. lioiiiday and D. M. Parry it was determined to form an Indianapolis Concert Association for the purpose of giving free band concerts in the parks of the city and possibly occasional concerts in the theaters during the summer. It is the idea to have for a season of ten weeks one concert each week in each of three parks located in different parts of the city. This wili involve an expense of ?1.5U0. "You are invited to be one of the hundred to which the membership will be limited. The expense to each member will not be more than sls for the year, $5 of which is payable now and the remainder at the call of the directors. The members wili have special privileges at whatever paid concerts are given, and probably will be provided with seats without expense during some at least of the free park concerts. Please answer on the inclosed form before Wednesday, May 2ti, as vacancies in the membership will be filled by other invitations at that time.” At the meeting held last week Emil Wulschner suggested that a popular way to get the movement before the public would be for the new association to have the concert given by the children's chorus yesterday afternoon repeated at an early date for the benefit of the poor children of the city who had no opportunity to attend. It was his suggestion that the concert be free to the children, fie thought that there would be enough paid admissions by parents who desired to accompany their children to cover the expenses of repeating the concert. Mr. Van der Stucken owns the copyright to the orchestral score and was unwilling to loan it. He said that it could not be properly rendered without a professional orchestra. As it would cost too much to have him bring his orchestra here, the pian has been abandoned. In this fact the committee sees the more necessity for organizing an Indianapolis orchestra that will be capable of meeting any demands made upon it. An organization giving concerts throughout the summer would serve to keep together the best musicians employed in the theaters during the winter. The idea is to employ a director to furnish the music. He will procure his own musicians and be responsible for the class of music rendered. After enough favorable responses have been received to the letter of the organization committee, composed of Messrs. M. B. V ilson. W. C. Bobbs, Emil Wulschner, Bement Lyman and Evans Woollen, Temporary Chairman Wilson will call a meeting to perfect permanent organization. The undertaking will be pushed rapidly so that concerts can begin in three or four weeks. The park commissioners are very much impressed with the undertaking and have indicated that they would allow the use of parks for the concerts. Bishop Clintard’s Plans. A dispatch was received from Terre Haute yesterday that purports to be reliable information to the effect that Bishop Chatard, of the Vincennes diocese, is to be created an archbishop and that the Indiana district is to be created into a see. It is said that the see will be comprised of parts of the Cincinnati and Chicago districts. Bishop Chatard will sail for Europe in June and it is said that his elevation will be made in Rome during his stay. Bishop Chatard was seen Friday and said that as far as he knew the only truth in the story is that he will sail for Europe shortly. He said that whether or not he will go to Rome depends entirely upon circumstances and that he has not been called there for a consultation with the Pope. " ■■■ Ami He Sever C ame Haolc. The boarding house at 159 North Illinois street was pilfered by a sneak thief yesterday. He went to the house to engage a room, and the lady showed him one which, although it did not exactly suit him. he decided to take. He would wait for his baggage, and while doing so managed to find opportunity to slip into the rooms of the other boarders. Miss Celeste Ballard lost a 'gold watch, as did also Miss Birdie Kulin. The fellow left the house, saying he would telephone for his baggage, and never returned. Furniture at lowest prices—Wm. I* Elder.

WILLIAMS ON THE STAND THE STATE TAN BOARD’S INSURANCE “EXPERT”CALLED YESTERDAY. Surrender Value of Polieie* Shown in Court—Heavy MortKatfe Foreclo*- . ure-The Divorce Docket. —, Tn the suit to prevent the State Board of Tax Commissioners from requiring the holders of life insurance policies to pay taxes on these policies, on trial before Judge Allen, of the Circuit Court, E. D. Williams, the “actuary” brought here from Pittsburg to assist the state in fixing the values on policies, was the only witness. After an hour's delay yesterday mr.rning the state put Williams on ihe stand. He gave expert testimony tc ihow the surrender value of the insurance policies introduced in the case. Williams testilied that he had been familiar with the life insurance business since 1870. He spent five years as an agent soliciting risas and in ISTi he took up the occupation of a “mathematician,” another name for * actuary,” he explained. For t.vo years he was engaged with the Reserve Life Association of New York. The witness said he had been engaged since 1877 in ihe worx of estimating the value of life insurance policies. Mr. Williams based his knowledge on these values on the figures shown in an elaborately prepared chart. He estimated the surrender value of the policies held by the plaintiffs in the case as fo'lows: Levi Sohl, $5,146.76; John H. Holliday, $256.42; James Q. Barcus, $777. The attorneys for the tax board sought to show that a certain part of the premium paid in on insurance policies goes to the reserve fund; that this is inviolable and the amount of this accumulated on a policy constitutes, to that degree at least, a surrender value in a pofity. The cross-examination of the witness was rigid and scathing and Ju3ge Allen cnce or twice was constrained to imeifere. “I don’t propose teat any witness shall be insulted in my court,” declared the judge at one time dun ag the examination. Attorney A. G. Smith, after inquiring of the witness how he came to interest himself in the case, wanted to know if he was the tax board’s “mathematical” adviser. Williams replied that he was not directly so. "I was called oy the state hoard,” he said, “to furnish tables so that they might fix the values on life insurance policies. “Where did you stop wnen you fust came to the city?” asked the attorney. “I’d like to know whose business that is,” inquired the witness bridling up instantly'. He afterward answered the question at the court’s suggestion. "'What business had you here after you got through with the tax board?” asked the attorney'. “That is nobody'’s business but ray own,” retorted the witness, and again the court commanded him to reply' to the attorney’s question. Williams said he had been waiting for some "expert” work which he expected would come in. He said he was to prepare some figures for anew insurance company. Williams declared he had received nothing for his work up to this time, but expected the state to pay him what he asked when he got ready to put in his bill. He declared he had paid his own expenses while here and had received nothing from the state. The plaintiffs’ attorney' then tried to show' that Williams had been engaged in the business of inducing people to sue insurance companies; that he had represented to clients that the sum of $900,000,000 held by a number of the old line companies as a reserve fund and this money having been obtained as saving bank deposits was payable to depositors on demand. Attorney Smith produced a six-page circular which it was claimed Williams had scattered broadcast, announcing that these reserve funds were held by' insurance companies simply as saving bank deposits. The witness admitted having sent out the circular. The plaintiffs got through with the witness last night and attorneys stated there would be no more testimony'. Monday the argument will begin, each side taking a day at speech-making.

ACQUITTED OF COl M'ERFEITISG. Lillian Burton, One of the Bernard Crowd, Gets Off. George Pittman, of. Crawford, was acquitted by a jury in the Federal Court yesterday of the charge of passing counterfeit money. There was not a clear case against him. Lillian Barton, of Wabash, was also acquitted. The jury in her case deliberated a great part of the night She is accused of being a member of the Bernard gang of counterfeiters. She is said to be the lover of William Bernard, w r ho pleaded not guilty to the charge of passing counterfeit money, but w r as found guilty and sentenced to the penitentiary at Columbus for two years. George Bernard, his brother, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to three years in prison. William Bernard as he passed out of the courtroom shackled to his brother threatened a man who had appeared as a witness against him. He said that when he got out of prison he would cut the man’s head off. Deaf and. Duml* Divorce. The divorce suit of Katharino M. Schmoll against Daniel E. Schmoll w r as called up in Room 3, Superior Court, but was not finished. The plaintiff and defendant are both deaf and dumb, and the evidence of the wife was heard through an interpreter. She testified they were married in March, ISO 6. and separated about a year later. Schmoll was charged w r ith cruel treatment. The plaintiff recited one instance of her hqsband s cruelty. She said one evening they were down, town shopping and it began to rain. Schmoil wanted her to go home in the rain and she refused. He then grew very angry and pinched her arms. Refused, the Divorce. In Room 2, Superior Court, Wesley Edwards was refused a divorce from MaJinda Edwards. His complaint averred that the defendant threatened to shoot him with a shotgun and repeatedly assaulted him. The defendant was also charged with having abandoned the plaintiff. When the erne came to trial witnesses were examined who testified that Edwards was at fault; that he deserted his wife while she was ill and went off to Kansas, leaving her without means of support Got a Big Judgment, Harriet Finney, trustee, was yesterday awarded judgment for $65,339.03 against Robert C. Light and the Bellevue Land and Improvement Company. The judgment was given on a suit to foreclose a mortgage on a tract of land lying between this city and Broad Ripple purchased by the defendant in 1894. The suit was tried in Room 1, Superior Court. Small Damages. In the suit of Hanover Williams against the Railroad Transfer Company a jury in the Superior Court yesterday awarded the plaintiff damages for S9O. GAS COMPANY'S PRESIDENT. Dieterich on the Question of Cheaper Gas—Natural-Gas Dividends. Concerning rumors to the effect that a new gas company is to be formed to furnish artificial gas at lower figures in this city, Charles F. Dieterich, president of the Indianapolis Gas Company, says that his company has no objection to competition from any company which wants to enter the fi ?ld. Mr. Dieterich and A. B. Proal are in the city for the first time in several months. “So far as cheaper gas is concerned,” said Mr. Dieterich yesterday, “I will say that the Indianapolis Gas Company is furnishing gas just as cheap as it cap, considering the conditions.” He says that Indianapolis Is not consuming more artificial gas than it did seven years ago, owing to the introduction of electric lighting in the business portions of the city. He spoke of the improvements the company made several years ago when it was ordered by the city to extend its mains into sparsely settled districts, after which the city quit using gas for street lighting and made an electric contract. As permanent street improvements were made the company, at great cost, replaced old mains with new ones. A great deal of revenue had been consumed in this direction and more is to be consumed in future. “When the cost of coal and the main-

tenance of the plant under the extraordinary conditions are considered, with the small consumption, any fair-minded person would readily see that there is little money in the artificial-gas business, and yet the little income we now' have from that business. some think, ought to te reduced. It is not fair.” As to the claim that the company pays 12 per cent, dividends, he advanced the argument that this was only' a slight return on a precarious investment. When natural gas was first brought to the city ordinance rates w T ere fixed on the basis of bringing gas from Noblesville. Since then the company has had to extend its mains year by year, at an annual outlay of $200,000 to $306,000. This was being done in the face of almost absolute certainty of a short life for gas in Indiana. "I really believe that unless the recent w'aste of gas is stopped gas in Indiana will be extinct in five years. Then where is the Indianapolis Gas Company and its 12 per cent, dividends?” PREMATURE BURIAL. Dr. Httrtmnnn, Tlieooi>lil*t, Relieves Many Are Buried Alive. Dr. Franz Hartmann, a w’ell-known writer on occultism and theosophy', who is now making a lecture tour through the Eastern and Middle States, arrived yesterday afternoon. He came to this country in order to attend the recent convention of the Theosophical Society in America, which was held in New York city' on the 25th and 26th of April. Dr. Hartmann is no stranger in this country, being an American citizen, and having lived in the West for about tw'enty years previous to 18S3, when he went to India. While in India Dr. Hartmann stayed w ith the celebrated Madame Blavatsky, at Ady'ar, near Madras, and he afterwards went with Madame Elavatsky to Europe. For several years past his home has been at Hallein, in Austria, where he has written a large number of books. The best known of these are “Magic, Black and White,” “The Secret Symbols of the Rosicrucians,” and his work on “Paracelsus.” During the recent crusade around the world of eight American theosophists, under the leadership of Mrs. K. xV. Tingley, a theosophical society in Germany was" organized by her, under the presidency of Dr. Hartmann. Said Dr. Hartmann: “I have been absent from this country for nine years, and when I landed here the other day', I felt as though I were returning from imprisonment in Siberia to a free country. I would remain here as long as I live, but I have got to return to Austria to look after the theosophical cause among the Germanspeaking population of Europe. Before going home, however, I have been asked to make a tour of the country, delivering a number of lectures. All my meetings will be free to the public. I do not believe in charging admission to hear teachings about theosophy, because theosophy is a sacred thing and cannot be bought for money'.” In answer to a question concerning the doctor’s investigation of the subject of premature burial, concerning which he has written several books in the English language, he replied; “Two persons in every' thousand, on an average, I believe to be buried alive, in different states of consciousness. This w'as found to be the case, after a careful investigation made by myself, in conjunction with Col; A. P. Vollum, of the medical department of the United States army, and William Todd, of London, who is a well-known writer on medical subjects. The books have been widely read, and have received very favorable comment. We have formed a society in England, which now has many members, w'hich protects people against a living burial. While in this country I shall endeavor to organize a similar society.” When asked as to whether he knew anything about the supposed reincarnation of Madame Blavatsky', the doctor smiled and said: “Madame Blavatsky was once asked by an inquisitive Brahmin w'hat she would be in her next incarnation on earth. Having a strong sense of humor, and having been somewhat irritated by previous foolish questions from the same individual, she jokingly' replied that she was afraid she would be a Brahmin in her next life, if not something w'orse. This saying has been taken seriously by certain persons who are not in the habit of seeing the point of a ioke.’’ In regard to the so-called “split” in the Theosophical Society, the doctor said: “I do not consider that any split has occurred. All that I have seen is. that certain people who are incapable of grasping the idea of universal brotherhood, which is the basis of the Theosophical Society in America, have left the society and are in search of other objects.” While in this city Dr. Hartmann will be the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Sydney Marshall, of No. 96 Bellefontaine street, members of Indianapolis branch of the Theosophical Society in America, whose headquarters are at the Propylaeum. He w’ill give a free lecture at the Propylaeum at 8 o’clock this evening.

TRYING TO HANG HIMSELF. Effort nt Suicide Attended by a Large Crowd. A telephone call was received at the police station last evening from Bertermann Brothers’ greenhouse on East Washington street stating that a man next door was trying to hang himself. Patrolmen Streit and Lancaster rode out there on their wheels and found a crowd of excited people gathered about the residence of Frank Dietz, No. 1376 East Washington, street. Dietz was found in a carriage house standing on the seat of a carriage. About his neck was a rope and he was trying to throw It over the rafters. His wife and Frank Gessert were struggling with him to prevent him accomplishing his intent. Dietz was sent to the police station and charged with being insane. He says he has been having trouble with his wife. The police say he has attempted to take his own life before. He is a son of the late Frederick Dietz, proprietor of the box factory on Madison avenue at the foot of Coburn street. Classical School Events.
