A FOUR-CENT CAR FARE

TICKETS Altn NOW OS SALK WITH ALL T1IK COXDtCTOUS. Transfers to "Sew Street-Railroad Company- Completed Yesterday Uncle Sam's Profit. There was just $3,000 worth of revenue stamps on the deed which conveyed, yesterday, a complete transfer to the Indianapolis Street-railway Company of all tho rights and franchises of the Citizens Street-railroad Company and the City Railway Company. There were sixty revenue stamps, each of which cost p), pasted to the document and canceled. Added to this little pile taken in by the government the city of Indianapolis received J30.000 and the State of Indiana 53, CO) as a result of the numerous conferences held yesterday by the street-car meji. The visitors from out of town who were talking street-railway business In company with the local officers and stockholders were Randall Morgan, II. J. Delaney, Dr. J. S. Neff, R. C. Dale, George S. Thlller, W. J. Turner, Edward Hand and Lewis Little, ail of Philadelphia, and p. Young, of Jersey City. ' It was not until several meetings of the stockholders and directors of all three companies had taken place that the business of completing the surrender of Interests was consummated. It was about 2 o'clock In the afternoon before the Indianapolis Company came Into entire possession of the franchises. , The transfer deed described sixty-three several piece of real estate In Indianapolis and Is subject to three mortgages one for 00,000 to Albert C. Torter. trustee, another for $700,000 to the Illinois Trust and Savings Bank and S. J. Fletcher, trustees, and a third to the Solicitors' Loan and Trust Company, trustees, for $1,000.0(0. The new company filed a mortgage on its plant to tho Guarantee Trust, and Safe Deposit Company of the State of Pennsylvania to secure $7,060,000 of gold-bearing 4 per cent, bonds. This document contained $3,500 worth of revenue stamps, going the deed ten stamps better. It was a big day for the revenue stamp business In Indianapolis. When tho transfer had been finally ef fected two things were done without delay. One wa3 the filing of articles with the sec retary of state, Increasing the capital stock of tho company from $2,000,000 to $5,000,OX). Attorney Ferdinand Winter represented tho new company in this matter and he handed over three crisp $l.iwO bids to the secretary. tne iee claimed by tne etate. The other thing or. the programme was the turning over to the city controller cf a check for $30,000, representing the first annual paywent to the city for the privilege of the irancnise. This part or the deal was looked after by President Wasson and Treasurer Lemcke. Controller Johnson Issued a receipt for the money, which will later on be formally added to the park fund. By the surrender of all Its rights and claims the City Company was released from its bond of $100,000, which was given as a guarantee to assume the carrying out of Its contract. CHEAP FARES IMMEDIATELY. Immediately upon the formal completion of the deal the new regulations in regard to fares and transfers were Inaugurated on all the street-car lines throughout the city. It didn't take long for the people In the business part of town to learn that the six-for-a-quarter tickets and twenty-flve-for-a-dollar tickets had been placed on sale, and the heavy demand for the pasteboards, which had been anticipated by the company, began at once. The, conductors did a rushing business during the entire afternoon. Many people bought tickets more for the novelty of the thing than because they really wanted them, and one conductor said that his car had carried a party-of jovial fellows from the Bates House down to the Loclslana-street curve and back again, the passengers taking the trip merely for the purpose of 'spending" their tickets. I think we did well." said President Wasson, "in having as many as 5,000,000 of the tickets printed for a first installment. Of course there will not always be the demand for them that will naturally take place during the first month or two. We expected the people to accept the tickets as playthings at first, and. judging by the way they are using them to-day, we were right In our judgment. In the course of the next three months, the demand will settle down to a normal state, and we will then be able to properly estimate the number of tickets to be kept on hand for distribution." There were many Inquiries during the day as to whether the new tickets would be received as fares on the "owl cars.." The officials Issued orders last night to all the conductors that the tickets were to be collected on the "owls" just the same as on all other cars. This means a reduction of 6 cents on every owl car fare In the future. General Manager McGowan announced yesterday that he would become a permanent resident cf Indianapolis. He will bring his family here from Kansas City and. beginning with May 17, will lease a house on the sotheast corner of Delaware and Eleventh streets. BELATED INJUNCTION SLIT. Catharine Darnell's Grievance on Account of Street Improving. About the time the various street-railway Interests In this city were passing into the hands of one corporation yesterday suit was brought in the Circuit Court to prevent the City Railway Company's franchise being surrendered in accordance with the terms of the city's contract with the Indianapolis Street-railway Company. The suit was brought by, Attorneys Harding & Hovey and McCullOugh & Rc-lnhard, representing Catharine Darnell. The plaintiff asked the court to appoint a receiver for the City Railway Company. The plaintiff charged In her complaint that when the City Company was granted a franchise it was provided that the com pany should do certain street paving or reimburse the property owners who should do IU The plaintiff, believing the money would be refunded, paid an assessment of $250 for street paving. She averred that the City Company's franchise was still In force, though the company was enjoined from laying its tracks. The plaintiff's property is situated on North Illinois street. The com plaint set up the allegation that the franchise which was about to be surrendered was worth $2,0uo.00o. The whole amount of capital stock paid in by stockholders In the City Company was only about JiO.OuO, It was averred, and tho plaintiff declared that the company was insolvent. The complaint asserted that ehould the franchise be surrendered there would be no property subject to judgments. It was averred that the payment for the franchise was to be made wholly in stocks and obligations of the In dianapolis Street-railway Company to the amount of $1,000,000. and that the latter corporation as boon as it secured the francmse or the City Company proposed to place a Jiu.ow.uoo mortgage on its property. which amount would be jcreatly In ?xees of the value of the property. The plaintiff was or tho opinion that a receiver shoulu be appointed at once before the onlv valu able property of the City Company was apposed ci. me complaint also requested the court to restrain the Indianapolis Streetrailway company rrom paying any consideration to any one else than the Citv Company for its franchise. With tho complaint was ri'ed a ot of Interrogatories for the defendants to answer. They are asked what the authorized capital stock cf the City Company was when it was organized, how much was actually Issued and to whom it was Issued. Also whether a record was kect of the stock issued and whero it mav be found. Another interrogatory asked who tne present stockholders are and how much they own. Tho plaintiff wants to know who the officers are. vhat stock they have held and whether Morgan Randall has owned any stock. Further information is desired as to whether or net there was a meeting of the stockholders to consider the surren der or tne irancnise. The City Railway Company. Randall Mor gan. of Philadelphia, the Indianapolis Street-railway Company and the city of Indianapolis were made defendants to the suit. There was no attempt to get n temporary restraining omer yesterday. The attorneys for the plaintiff said they expected the defendants to file an answer to the complaint within ten days. They say that the fact that the franchise of the City Company has already been surrendered will not deter them from prosecuting the suit on Its merits. City Attorney Kern said last night that "there was nothing in the suit." thought the defendants would probably file a demurrer to the complaint. Attorney Harding says he thJaks some one

can be compelled to refund the money Invested In street paving by people who consented to the paving on the theory that the City Company would some time come Into possession of the streets and reimburse them under its contract with th city. He says that between $300O and $.TCi).0 was paid out by property owners who believed they would be repaid. Other suits along the same line may be filed, the attorneys say.

OPENED HER ARTERIES. Unknown Insane Woman Attempts Suicide with Hairpin. The unknown woman who was taken to the police station Tuesday night, and supposed to be Insane, attempted to kill herself yesterday by severing two of the small arteries in tho left wrist with a hairpin. She was sitting on the edge of a bed, and the matron, going Into the room, noticed several peculiar actions on the woman's part, but thought nothing of them until about to leave the cell, when it became particularly noticeable that an effort was being made to conceal something. Dr. Christian, the police surgeon, was telephoned for and the woman's wounds were dressed. Though careful watch has been kept over her, she made a second attempt late In the afternoon, this time opening up the first wounds. She told the surgeon that she would try again. She says she does not know her name or place of residence. She says that where she came from the people went by "12 3." On her person was found $16T.2o. She talks but little, but referred to Franklin, lnd., where she said she had friends, and also to Elwood. Her clothing Is of common material, and she wore a sunbonnct. She Is about forty years of age, has black hair and weighs about 170 pounds. Last night Superintendent Quigley, after about two hours' questioning, succeeded in having the woman say that her name was Mattle JJradley. bhe also said Fhe was rrom Walton, Cass county, and that she had a brother there, who had loaned her the money found on her.

Various questions put to her and the answers made indicated that sho knew some of the doctors there, and also somo of the business houses in Logansport. LUNCHEON FOR MAJ. VARNEY. The Commercial Club' Itcffret at Ills Departure. At the last meeting of the Commercial Club's board of directors the wish was generally expressed that something should be done to testify to the regret of Indianapolis citizens at losing Major Varney. He has been exceedingly helpful In several matters which tho club has undertaken. It was de cided to give a luncheon in his honor Sat urday, May 6, at 12:30 In the club dining room. Major Varney, in accepting the Invitation, said: "Permit me to thank the Commercial Club for the honor conferred by the tender of a luncheon to me on the occasion of my departure to a new station. It Is an unexpected compliment, and I assure you I appreciate it highly, though it will add another pang to my already keen regret in leaving a place where I have been so happy."

Protest on Account of Ills Lack of Literary Qualifications. On April 22 a petition signed by three Justices of the peace and two other residents of Wayne townshlp was presented to the County Commissioners as,king for the appointment of James P. Tharp, of Haughville, as constable for that township. As there were no objections filed with the commissioners the appointment was made. A few days thereaftar complaints began to reach the commissioners that the appointment should have been withheld, for the reason that the appointee was unable to read or write, but the commissioners, after making the appointment, thought the matter then rested with the officer before whom the constable appeared for qualifying. There Is in the office of a justice of the peace in this township a record where Mr. Tharp, in acting as surety in the staying of a fine, signed his namo by mark, and the Justice said the matter which he signed had to be read, as Tharp admitted that he could not read it. THE FIRE RECORD. Twins nrouglit Into the World Daring the Excitement. An overheated range in the home of Frederick Bloch, 214 Harlan street, started a fire yesterday morning, which caused damage of about $23, and was the means of bringing Into the world a pair of twins.

PEACE ADHERENTS LOST

XOTnE DAME A!VD t'.MVERSITY OF INDIANAPOLIS DEBATE. The Victors Won on the ArgumentForce Behind All Gov eminent. The first annual debate between the University of Indianapolis and tho University of Notro Dame was last evening won by the University of Notre Dame, by a vote of 2 to 1. The peace congress at The Hague will be fruitless, according to last evening's action, as the negative side of the question, "Re solved, That, under existing conditions, the abolition by all civilized nations, of their armies and navies other than those required for domestic police, is feasible." The Uni versity of Notre Dame took the negative. and recent arguments from Gatllngs and other guns were in their favor and some what handicapped the University of Indian apolis, whose representatives were com pelled to make their voices heard above the noise of exploding shots and shells. The victors were Sherman Steele, law, of Columbus, O.; Matthew A. Schumacher, theological, of South Bend, and Harry P. Berry, law, of Sioux City, la. The Univer sity of Indianapolis debaters were Robert W. Hobbs and Orvllle E. Mehrlng, of But ler College, Indianapolis, and Frederick Van Nuys. law. of Anderson. Each speaker was allowed fifteen minutes and the closing speeches were made by Mr. Steele, for the University of Notre Dame, and Mr. Hobbs, for the University of Indianapolis. They were given seven minutes each. The Judges were Judge Francis T. Baker, of Goshen; Prof. Charles A. Tuttle, of Wabash College, Crawfordsvllle, and Prof. Charles W. Hodgin, of Earlham College, Richmond. Butler College and the Law School were particularly well represented, for the University of Indianapolis, but there were not over a dozen present from the University of rsotre Dame. The general attendance u r.iir nniv rr .Tonkin nresldent of the Uni versity of Indianapolis, presided, and the two sides or tne question were prcs.em.cu alternately. Tho debate was opened by tne amrmauve, am in thn first snewh .it was contended that universal disarmament and peace is desirable, but the first speaker for the negative held that this was not tne proposition staled. The desirability was not in question, but the feasibility of it. The University of Indianapolis next contended that feasibility did not necessarily mean that which would be done, but it might mean tnat wnicn coma be done, it did not imply me certainty oi noJntr rinnp hilt th TnssihilitV of doinc It. To this Notre Dame replied that such an argument was doging the question, Decause disarmament could not be done without the volition of the nation taking such action, and this would involve the will to do it. The last point of the University of Indianapolis was that disputes between nations could be adjusted and settled by arbitration, hut Nntrr Dame renlied that behind all governments lies force, and a law without force to enforce it is inenective. ny reason of the weakness and strength of nations as to population and the number affected hv a rmtlrm and like considerations, a court of arbitration could not be formed. Assuming It could be formed, there would bo no force to carry out its conclusions and decrees. Again, assuming that there would h ii.-h ft force. ther would be certain questions and . principles that no nation would consent to suomit to arDiiraxion, as, for instance, the United States would not consent to submit the principle of the Monroe doctrine to arbitration. These points were summed up by tho last speakers on each side. After the debate Butler College gave a reception to the visitors in the rooms of the college Y. M. C. A. PRESS CLUB DINNER. . Mill Orlopp, Violinist, One of the 'dueitv'uf Iloucr. At a dinner givsn by the Press Club at the Denison House last evening several guesti were entertained.

James Whltcomb Riley, a mem ber of the club, also sat at the head of tho table, and near him was George Foster Piatt, the author of "Frederick the Great," which Is to have an elaborate production in the fall, with Lewis Morrison at the head of the company, and "A Woman's Poli tics," which Miss Lucille La Verne and her company Is to present. The only business of the club was to make its guests honorary members and to make J. Fremont Freyana ixuia wesiyn Jones, of the Journal, and William is. westlake, of the Sentinel, active members. Mr. Frey, who is pronounced the most artistic player of the zither in the West, had an instrumental number and also sang two songs, to the delight of the club and Its guests. Herbert Hunt, city editor of the Sun, talked on "Natural and Artificial Gas at Five Dollars a Column:" Miss Bessie Miller read an original poem on "ine urigin of the Newspaper Man." and Hector Fuller, literary critic of the News, discoursed on "Stranded Seadogs and Old Salts in an Inln nd Town." Because of the apt treaiment of the newspaper trade and Its technicalities the speaker s thougnts were uouuiy .-ever to the club. Mr. Riley was called or. and, being defenseless, made a happy tpecch. In wnicn ne sam ins uiu I'.imawc, .uw. was in the habit of telling "commits es" that Mr. Riley was no speaker, but h2 was an excellent lmnromntu listener. Mr. Piatt spoke of "The Relation of the Pres3 and the Playhouse. The guests of the club who were made honorary members were Franz Bellinger, Miss Jeanette OrlotD. Miss Luna Confare and George Foster Piatt. Mrs. Bellinger was also a guest. Several impromptu addresses were made in response to calls by the club. STATE HOUSE CHANGES.
