TO SIXTH WARD VOTERS

3III. BOOK WALTER ADDHC9SKD HIMSELF TO TIIK3I LAST NIGHT. Ills Explanation of "Why nird Street "Was Xot raved Certification of Republican Ticket. The headquarters of the- Ilodcarriers Union, at 533 Indiana avenue, was well filled with colored and white voters of the Sixth ward last night and Charles A. Bookwalter and Gurley Brewer aroused them to a high pitch of enthusiasm by two spirited speeches. Owing to other engagements it was rather late when Mr. Bookwalter arrived, but the audience was kept Interested by Gurley Brewer, who said at the start: "I appeal to your intelligence in asking you to support the Republican ticket and not to your appetites. Republican campaigns are not conducted on the principle that a negro can be made to see hla best Interests through a wine glass. We try to make men sober and better. Years ago Industries were developed by slave labor, but now they are better served by free labor and the present condition of the black man is due to Republican legislation. Independents and Democrats fay we dwell too long on the past, but I for one am proud of the long record of the party which has never left any blighted credit, ruined homes' and outraged honor In its path of progress. It Is the party that has made the negro what he is. The Independent colord voters try to get away from the fact that they are Democrats, but will they not mourn If Taggart Is defeated and rejoice if he is elected. Do they not work with him for the same ends. It l these same Independents who opposed tho late war, although there never was a time in the Nation's history when it. was so necessary that a wholesome sentiment should be cultivated in support of tho President in his trying situation- We are ourselves the creatures of a bloody war and tho Republican party is responsible for our freedom, so I, for one, will think long and earnestly before I desert the party which has always been the friend of the black man. At this moment the door opened and Mr. Bookwalter walked in to tremendous applause. Instead of mounting tho rostrum he took his stand in the middle of the floor and said: "It la a matter for congratulation that so many are present in a precinct of a ward In which the Democrats are pleased to think that they will get a majority of the Republican votes. I want to say that the Republican party is on the eve of t. big victory and the colored Republicans are going to reap their full share of the beneIlts of that victory. This campaign, in its local phases, will be momentous, as many people, without regard to party affiliations, express the belief that four years of the present Democratic administration have teen enough and I look for the Sixth ward, mostly composed of colored Republicans, to show the State that this city can be administered honestly and economically Instead of being run for personal gain. The Democrats try to make out that the Republican party is opposed to improvement. On the contrary, it has always been progressive in Its work. In a recent speech the mayor, while exploiting the work of his administration. ald that the public street Improvement had been systematically done from the center of the city to the suburbs. "With regard to that I want to call attention to one street which the adminisralon overlooked, although the mayor said that all the streets and alleys within the mile square had been Improved. Take a look at Bird street, between New York and Ohio streets. Times without number the abutting property owners have asked the Board of Works to pave that alley and the church situated on one of its corners has repeatedly done so as a measure to keep its sidewalks clean. But In spite of all this the Ecard of Works has carted in loads of cobble atones and sand and paved the alley at the expense of the city, and all because a member of the Board of Works owns eighty feet of ground abutting the street. "The mayor has also referred in his speeches to the tine new police station his administration has built, but he doesn't say that it was built not by saving dollars by an economical administration, but by bonding the city. He doesn't nay, in speakinpr of his park purchase? and his contemplated bridge building that It was done and will be done by mortgaging the people of Indianapolis. He compares the price paid for land for Garfield Park under a Republican administration with that paid by his administration for Riverside Park to the disadvantage of the Republican party, but every one of you knows that the most inflated prices in realty ever known In this city were during the boom days when GarMeld I'ark was bought. The Republican administration, if put In office, will go on with the park work and beautify the land now purchased, but it will not, by that act. cease to criticize the judgment of the party making the purchase. With regard to the misleading statements of Democrats as to the attitude of the Republican party on track elevation I will say that the party is out to secure the safety of the people, but not. necessarily, by the Jeup plan, which contemplates building a Chinese wall around the city and with switching done at grade. It will not adopt this method, but one infinitely better." Mr. Bookwalter also addressed meetings in the Sixth ward at No. 44 North Senate avenue, the Propagandist Club at Wood and Michigan streets and t No. 419 West New York street, beln received by large audiences at every point. ' TIIK TICKET CERTIFIED. Republican Qualify on the Last Day the Law Allows. Yesterday was tha last day for certifying the names of candidates to go on the municipal ballot, and, the city clerk having left his office somewhat earlier than usual, it was not until after the close of office hours that Chairman Logsdon and Secretary Bowlus presented themselves before City Clerk Stuckmeyer to proceed with the necessary formalities. They found the city clejk at bis home, 47 English avenue. There was a wild bit of rumor out last night thai the Democratic city officials would claim that the Republicans had neglected to comply with the law. and that the names of tho nominees would not go on the ballots. Chairman Fanning, of the Democratic city committee, smiled' last night as he remarked: "No. we will not take advantage ef anything of that kind. The Republicans ought to appreciate, however, our generosity in this respect." Mnth District Politics. Senator Thomas C Boyd, of Noblesville, was seen by a Journal reporter yesterday. Mr. Boyd said that a "telegram in the Journal of yesterday did him an Injustice in that It stated that all other candidates for Congress agreed to leave the Hamilton county central committee to say who should be the candidate. It was not stated that a part of the candidates for Congress in the Ninth congressional district have, as Mr. Boyd say?, been electioneering each and every central committeeman for the last two months, while Mr. Boyd cays he has not talked to a single member or the committee concerning congressional matters. Mr. Boyd says he told the committee: "You are lixed, and if nothing else will do than Hamilton county choose of the candidates whom they will support at the congressional convention, then in that event I would be willing to leave it to the primary vote of the Republicans of Hamilton county." air. Boyd says he also proposed that the candidates themselves get together and decido who shall be the. candidate, but none of his propositions was accepted. Senator Boyd also says that the big Republican majority of Hamilton county had nothing to do with the question as to who should be the Republican nominee of the district. lie points out that McKinley's county in Ohio is Democratic; Henderson's county in Iowa is the strongest Democratic county in the State; Montgomery county, of the Ninth congressional district, gave as many votes to the present secretary of state as Hamilton county did. The committee adjourned without doing anything and favorable to Mr. Boyd's opinion of the matter by a vote of 17 to 6. Mr. Boyd talJ: "Landis is a very popular representative in Congress, but the precedent in the Ninth congressional district has been for many years past to give a congressman two terms, and I believe that Hamilton county should now represent the district. The people of Hamilton county in a primary election gave me every township but one and more than flve-slxths of the firecincts of the county, and they would do t again If they had an opportunity. My name will be announced at the next con

gressional convention as a candidate, subject to the Republicans of the district." A Monster Tomllnson Hall Meeting. The members of the Marlon Club are taking the Initiative In preparing a monster meeting at Tomllnson Hall in the Interest of Mr. Bookwalter's campaign. On this occasion the Marion Glee Club, which took such a prominent part In the last campaign, will be reorganized and brought Into action. The chief features of the meeting, however, will be speeches by Senators Fairbanks and Beveriige. It is thought that with these attractions, added to a band, the hall will be packed to its limit and that a deeper sentiment will be worked up than would be possible by holding small meetings In different parts of the city. One of the board of directors of the Marion Club, in speaking of the plan, said that the details had not yet been decided on, but it was intended to hold the meeting within a few nights of election. STREET FAIR GAMBLING

SOVEnXOR SAYS THERE MUST BE .0.E OF IT AT TERRE HAUTE. He Issues Instructions to the Iollce Board Immoral Miovrs Must Also Stop. Terrc Haute and other cities in the State in which the police board is appointed by the Governor are agitated over tho Governor's attitude on the questions of ehows and gambling during street fairs. A special from Terre Haute last night said that the committee of tho Street Fair Association was yesterday notified by President Raldy, of the poll: board, that ground-floor gambling and shows with Immoral features would not be permitted during the week of the street fair. The fair will be held week after next. The special then says: "Some of the shows have been engaged and money has been solicited from saloons which expected to have games of chance In the saloon room. It has been known that tho opponents of the usual policy during such weeks have appealed to ihe Governor and, while It is supposed the Governor has given the police board instructions, it is not known for a fact that he has done so. As the board has heretofore permitted wideopen gambling when nothing special has been going on In town this notice leads to tho belief that the board has received orders from the Governor." Governor Mount ha given instructions, as last evening he said: "I gave President Raldy some Instructions regarding these points. I told him that it has been reported to me from other points in the State that some of the shows which have been at the street fairs have features in them which are gross immoralities and which are degrading to those who witness them. I told him that I wanted the police to make thorough investigation of the shows which will be at Terre Haute and see that none of these grossly Immoral feature shall be permitted. Furthermore, I told him that wide-open gambling must not be tolerated or permitted." TANNER CUT HIS QWN THROAT. His Wife, Sains for Divorce, Had Had Papers Served on Him Yesterday. J. Ij. Tanner, living at No. 1311 East Tenth street, formerly a member of the firm of Inman & Tanner, blacksmiths, was taken to the City Hospital last night with his throat cut from ear to ear, and hospital physicians do not think he will recover. The wound was Inflicted by his own hand, probably about two hours before he was found by the bicycle police at 7 o'clock last night. AP Tanner's house they found Mrs. Tanner and two boarders, W. J. Spence and Fred Wetzel, a butcher employed by a grocer near by, pacing up and down the lower rooms of the house and wondering what Tanner, who had not been seen down stairs since 1 o'clock, was doing up stairs. They feared that he had taken poison or killed himself In some manner, but were afraid to go up stairs, not knowing where ho was and what he might do. The police were advised to look for trouble if he was yet alive. They went up the stairs and called to Tanner, but got $o response. They then tried the doors and found the first one locked. They tried the other one and upon opening It taw a gruesome sight. The bed and pillows were covered with spattered blood and near the head was a great clot. Tanner was not In the room and they went to the room which they had first tried to enter. They got no answer to their calls and broke the door open. There was Tanner, lying cn his back in a great pool of blood and a great gash in his throat, from which the blood was yet streaming. He was unconscious. The City Dispensary ambulance was called and he was quickly removed to the City Hospital. As 60011 as Mrs. Tanner saw what had happened she fainted and was taken across the street to a friend's, where she was cared for. Tanner had gone into a spare room, cut bis throat and then entered the ether room, pulled down the window shades, locked tho door and then lay down ou the bed. Tanner is about forty-five years of age, and among his friends has been considered eccentric. Many of his actions have been attributed to this, though it is now thought he was insane. It is said he has long treated his wife, who is said to be a woman of kind and cheerful disposition, with coldness and indifference and frequently quarrelled with her. He failed, it is said, to provide for her support and she was compelled to take In boarders, W. J. Spence and wife and Frederick Wetzel, a butcher, now boarding with her. Towards them Tanner has manifested a peculiar attitude, and at ono time told Mrs. Tanner that Mr. Spence and his wife would not be allowed In the house outside of their rooms, except to eat their meals. He, however, said nothing regarding this to either Mr. or Mrs. Spence. A few days ago he told Mrs. Tanner that Fred Wetzel, the butcher, should not come again to tho house, and yesterday told her that either he or Wetzel must die. During the forenoon Tanner paced up and down the house, but said little, aside from referring to the divorce suit which Mrs. Tanner had Instituted in the Superior Court and which Is yet pending. Tanner's actions had been such that his wife feared he would do her some inJury or would destroy her property. She vi?lted her attorney and he went Into court yesterday afternoon and secured a restraining order, enjoining Tanner from disposing of any of the household goods or in any way interfering with Mrs. Tanner's boarders until the hearing of the divorce proceedings. The papers were served yesterday about 3 o'clock and shortly thereafter Tanner went up stairs and was not seen again until he was found with his throat cut. About two weeks ago Tanner Fold his Interest in the partnership of Tanner & Inman and has since that time, it Is said, spent much time in drinking. PRESSURE NOT SUFFICIENT. County Mar Find Its Own Water for Its rr Fountain. County Commissioner McGregor thinks the county cannot afford to pay the water company for keeping the fountain in the courthouse yard in operation, and ho la in favor of digging wells for the purpose. In the estimate which the commissioners submitted to the County Council last week there was on item of $o0 for water for the fountain. Mr. McGregor estimates that it will require $500 a year or perhaps more to keep the fountain supplied with city water. Yesterday evening the water was turned on in the fountain and it was clearly apparent that the pressure was not strong enough. Tho commissioners will have a talk with the water company to-day in reference to the supply for the fountain. A Poor Tomato Crop. Frank Van Camp, secretary and treasurer of the Van Camp Packing Company, in speaking of the tomato crop and tho canning business, says this year's crop is the poorest in the history of tho State. He attrib utes the fact to the heavy August rains and tho hot sun. -which has blasted the fruit, and to the large number of worms and In sects which have killed the blossom and injured the fruit, resulting in quick decay. o Gentleman Can fall to have bis taste satisfied at our establishment.

FIRE AT BROAD RIPPLE

GUS BARTIIKIS RESORT IV THE SI III Hll AGAIX DESTROYED. Loss Estimated at -f 12,000, with $!,0OO Insurance The Proprietor Thinks the Dulldlnsr Was Fired. The Little Deutsche House at Broad Ripple, owned by Gus Barthel, was completely destroyed by fire last night. At 7 o'clock tmoke was discovered pouring from the rear of the attic. Before a line of bucket passers could be formed the entire house was ablaze. At D o'clock nothing remained of the frame building except the blackened foundation walls. The loss was estimated late last night to be $12,000, while the insurance amounts to $?,C00. The Little Deutsche House had been established since March, when it was first destroyed by fire. Recently It attained some notoriety as the headquarters of some gamblers, who made nightly excursions to the suburban village and operated the games said to be located In the house. According to the owner. Gas Barthel, the residents of Broad Ripple have objected to tho place on this account and have made several complaints directly to him as well as to the authorities. Otherwise, it Is said, the houso has been quietly and orderly conducted. Barthel declared last night that the fire wa3 the work of some of his enemies. He said that when the flames were first discovered the odor of coal oil was noticeable and that he believed the attic, which was easily accessible to any one who cared to enter, had been saturated with the oil and then fired. The attic was stored with furniture and was unoccupied. No lamps or lights of any kind had been taken into that part of the house and no matches had been left there. There was no fire burning In any part of the house, which was lighted throughout with electricity. A few minutes before the flro was discovered both Barthel and a boy employed by him, David Kesler, had been In the upper part of the houso and had not noticed either the smoke or odor of burning wood. Rarthel said It was his opinion incedlaries had been at work in the suburb and were responsible not only for his loss but for the fire which occurred a week ago, in which the livery stable owned by I. O. White was destroyed. Connected with the Llttlo Deutsche House was a power house from which the current was obtained that bupplied the place with lights. This was in operation at the time of the fire, but when the alarm was given someone entered the engine room and turned off the current, at tho same time opening the valves of tho boiler so that the water would escape. There was an attachment with the boiler which could be used in case of fire to throw a stream of water through the piping of tho house. It was put in with that purpose in view. The loss of this water, Barthel claimed, allowed the flames to spread to such proportions that by the time the hand pump was brought into service the place was doomed. Residents who live in the vicinity of the resort deride tho idea of incediarim and declare that the fire was due to the crossing of two electric wires. It was said that the house was destroyed previously, on March 3 of this vear, from the same causo or from a defective flue. The fire service of the suburb consists of a hand pump manned by volunteers. JEWELER MAUZY'S ARREST. Charged rl.li Iluylnc n Watch n Little filrl Hnd Stolen. Lon R. Mauz5. a jeweler doing business at 207 Massachusetts avenue and residing at 2J North Alabama street, and George Stewart, a clerk employed by Mauzy, were arrested yesterday by Detectives Asch and Dugan and charged with receiving stolen goods and violating the pawnbroker ordinance. Mrs. Fewell, living at 321 North Alabama street, has for sometime missed small articles of jewelry, and about a week ago her gold watch was taken from the dresser. The less was reported to the police. Yesterday a neighbor's girl, thirteen years of aee, who has been In the habit of making frequent visits to Mrs. Fewell's home, entered the house and on her wrist was ono of Mrs. Fewell's missing bracelets. The girl was questioned, and cried upon being accused of taking the things. She went home and shortly after, her aunt went to Mrs. Fewell's home and returned several pieces of jewelry, which the little one had hid in her room. When the detectives were called, they questioned the girl and she told them sho had Jtold the watch to a. jeweler on Massachusetts avenue for 2' cents. She described the place and the man to whom she had sold it, saying that the "man at tho bench" was the ono that bought it. Tho detectives called on Mauzy, but he denied knowing anything about it. The clerk was then interviewed, and he also denied any knowledge of the transaction. After another talk with the girl, the detectives were satisfied that she was telling the truth and that Mauzy was the man who bought the watch. Both Mauzy and the clerk were arrested and identified by the girl. Mauzy stlll insisted that he had not seen the watch but Stewart, after being told that if he did not buy the watch, he was not liable, said that he witnessed the purchase, and added that Mauzy sent him with the watch and some old gold to a manufacturing jeweler to have the gold made into a ring. The price asked for the work, he said, was $1.50, which Mauzy considered too much and said he would send it to New York, where It could bo done "for less money. The girl said she tried to sell the watch at several other places but was told that ihey could not make such purchases from children. All of Mrs. Fewell's missing property was returned, with the exception of the watch, which it Is thought was sent to New York, though this is still denied by Mauz3 THE BATTERY'S DEPARTURE.
