CONTEST MAY BE FILED

IIOOK WALTER'S ATTORHYS WILL SHTTLE PLAN OF ACTION TO-DAY.

TflRjinrt Itetnln V4". A. Ketclinm am III Attorney The Rennlt on School Cmmtftftloners. , v Although it has not been definitely Fettled, It is probable that euit will be brought to contest the vote by which Mayor Taggart was re-elected. A number of attorneys were In consultation yesterday in regard to the matter. Among the lawyers who will represent the plaintiff in the event of a suit are W. P. Herod, C. N. Thompson and Harding & Hovey. Mr. Thompson said last night that several legal questions would have to be thoroughly considered before atiy kind of action was brought. He thought it would probably be determined to-day just what kind of an action would be Instituted. One attorney, who will be in the case, said last night that he did not think quo warranto proceedings to oust Mayor Taggart would be filed at this time. He was cf opinion that a petition would be filed In the Circuit Court by Mr. Bookwalter or some one elpe asking the court to Investigate the vote which re-elected Mr. Taggart. Mr. Bookwalter said last night that he had left the matter entirely in the hands of these lawyer friends and would abide by their advice. He feels that it Is more a matter of duty to his party than of personal ambition to contest the election. It is claimed the grossest outrages were perpetrated against Republican voters In the First, Sixth, Seventh and Fifteenth wards. Inv the latter ward there was a general destruction of protested ballot., it is claimed. Mayor Taggart has retained Attorney W. A. Ketcham to look after his interests if contest is filed.

THE CONTESTED BALLOTS. .o One Seem to Know Ho it Many There Really Are. From all the Information obtainable it seems that no one really knows how many contested ballots were cast in the recent election, and City Clerk Stuckmeyer Is authority for the statement that no one will know anything definite about It until the ballots are counted In court. In case any suit Is brought to test the validity of the election. None of the Republican workers who took an active interest in the work of the canvassing board claim to have any definite Information as to the number of votes contested, while the Democrats say that If the ballots are brought into court and counted they will show that more Democratic votes were lost by imperfect ballots than Republican. City Controller Johnson expressed the belief that there were not more than four hundred rejected ballots altogether and that only a very small proportion of these would have any chance of being counted. He says those he examined were so obviously worthless that he felt satisfied the Democrats had nothing to lose by a legal fight over the counting of the ballots. Some had been deposited without a mark of any kind to Indicate whom the voter had selected, while others were marked with check marks, circles, dots and "chicken feet." One enterprising voter had distinguished his ballot from the others by writing his name on it, while another had written "one keg" across the top of the Democratic ticket. The ballots are all In the original envelopes, locked up in a big box in the city clerk's office, where they will remain until needed. AX ELECTION DAY I X CI D EXT.

He claims that while the election was progressing Stuckmeyer crawled under the ropes, entered the voting place, and accused him of tampering with the ballots given to Democratic voters, to that they might be thrown out In the count. Coulon rtsented the charge and called Stuckmeyer a liar, and told him to get out of the place cr he would be thrown out. One of the election inspectors then took a hand, and Stuck meyer left the place. Stuckmeyer's voting place was In the Ninth ward. Fort Wayne Commercial Clab.

'HARRY OVERBiY'S SUICIDE

A Despondent .Machinist Takes a I)oe of Laudanum. Harry Overbay, thirty-one years cf age. who lived at 33 Wisconsin street, died yesterday afternoon about 2 o'clock from the effects of laudanum taken at 11 o'clock with suicidal Intent. A doctor who was called gave him some medicine and told Mrs. Overbay he would soon be all right and went away. About an hour later she noticed her husband was rapidly growing worse and called physicians from the City Dispensary, but Overbay was too far gone and their efforts were unsuccessful. Overbay had been despondent for some time, not being able to get work, and has often threatened to kill himself. Yesterday morning he left the house and upon his return said he was tired of living and could not support his family. He then drew a bottle of laudanum from his pocket and swallowed the contents. He leaves a widow and three children, the youngest of which is three years old. Ills parents, who are said to be well-to-do. live at Franklin, Ind. Overbay's fellow-workmen say he was a good machinist, but was addicted to the excessive use of liquor. The coroner Investigated the case. 1 Dobson Dies from Strychnine. Andrew J. Dobson, a lab'orer fifty years of age, living at 407 West Merrill street, died about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon from strychnine poisoning. He has been despondent for a long time, and frequently threatened to take his life. He left home yesterday morning, and returned about 11 o'clock. Shortly after he was found by hia wife suffering from the effects of the drug. Dr. Karchner, of the City Dispensary, was called, but Dobson was dead when he arrived. He leaven a widow and five children. He had lived in the city about four months, coming here from Zionsville. A STRIKE OF TELEGRAPHERS Rumored that a Signal Would Re Given Last lht. The members of the Order of Railway Telegraphers who have been in the city for some time discussing conditions existing on the linca of the Rig Four Railway are still in session, and refuse to divulge the nature of their proceedings. It Is known that a conference with Superintendent Van Winkle, of the Big Four, resulted in but little satisfaction to tho telegraphers, Mr. Van Winkle informing them that he would not consider their demands or requests as an organization, but In tho matter of wages would take up cases individually, and should it appear there were any just grievances, they would be considered. According to a rumor last night, thla action was not to the liking of tho O. R. T., end a strike of Big four operators' was contemplated. An operator and member of the O. IL T. said last night he expected an order to go out either last night or early this morning. At midnight the signal had not been given. The threatened strike of the operators 19 not considered of great moment by railway officials, they claiming that not more than 50 per cent, of the operators in their employ are members of the organization. REPROVED FOR DRUNKENNESS Justice Smock Tired of Hearing Intoxicated Lawyer Try Cases. A continuation of a case in Justice Smock's court in which the "last word" of a woman lost a case for her husband, a few days ago, took place yesterday In the same court. This time Barbara Meyer, who caused the loss of the case by laying claim to the horse In question, brought suit against John Wilson, colored, for the value thereof. The case procedecd nicely in her favor until her husband went on the stand and testified that ho was a joint owner of the horse. The lawyer for the defendant took up this clew and it resulted in a finding against the plaintiff. One of the incidents of the case was the reprimanding of the attorney for the defense for drunkenness. Justice Smock said he had frequently been troubled by lawyers coming into court under the influence of liquor and attempting to try cases. Yesterday he suggested the postponement of the case until to-day. when the lawyer would have recovered from the effects of the liquor. The lecture was sufficient, however, and the young man braced up and tried the case. INDEPENDENT BOWLERS Open Their Season with Two GamesMany Ladles Present.

TAGGART BOARDS RESIGN

MAYOR WILL AXXOUXCE HIS APrOIXTMENTS SEXT WEEK. Aen- Officers Sworn In Council Ort sanlses hy Electing: 3Ir. Crall President. It is generally understood that Mayor Taggart contemplates several changes in the make-up of the different departments of the city government. Yesterday afternoon all the members of the Board of Works and the Board of Safety tendered their resignations, to take effect at the pleasure of the mayor, but, as yet, no action has been taken on them. Mayor Taggart, when asked what changes he had in view, said that he was not ready to discuss the matter, as he had not fully decided what to do. It is generally understood that, If he will accept it, Albert Sahm will be given a place on the Board of Works and that Thomas Montgomery will also be retained, along with Bert Spencer, the latter as clerk. There Is no doubt of the reappointment of E. M. Johnson as city, controller, although neither Mr. Johnson nor the mayor will discuss this. Another report has it that Colonel Downing, the present president of the Board of Works, will be transferred to the Park Board. It Is generally understood that there will be a change In the Board of Health, and It Is said that Dr. Clark, the present secretary, will retire and will be succeeded by Dr. John W. Gels. Both men are warti personal friends and will not discuss tho probabilities. Mayor Taggart said. In connection with the contemplated changes, that he would not announce the appointments before next week. , . BEGIN THE NEW ' TERM. Mayor Taggart and the Other City Officials Sworn In. Mayor Taggart, City Clerk Geckler and Police Judge Daly were sworn into office yesterday noon. The first two took the oath in the mayor's office in the. City Hall. Tho room had been decorated with palms and flowers for the occasion and Albert ZearIng's desk was temporarily turned into an altar. City Clerk Stuckmeyer performed the ceremony as the last official act of his administration. Quite a number of the friends of the mayor were attracted to the place and as soon as Mr. Taggart had been formally started on his third term of office, they set up a clamor for a speech. He responded by recalling that he had not sought the third nomination, but had accepted It at the request of his party, which had been kind to him when he needed kindness. While in the midst of a declaration that his administration would stand on the platform of the Democratic party and be independent of both friends and foes In an effort to do Its full duty to the whole people, a band, heading a big delegation of Democrats, was heard outside, and, although Mr. Geckler tried to speak, he found it impossible to make headway "against all the wind" outside, and stepped down from the private secretary's desk, which had be n temporarily cleared of the foliage on It. About all that could be made out from the shouts was the cry. "Tom Taggart, the next Governor of Indiana." John W. Holtzman made an attempt to speak and succeeded in paying his respects to the "sneaks" who had sent out anonymous letters during the campaign. The band, which was a rather restless one, became uneasy at the long waits and broke in on the oration with the strains of "A Hot Time in the Old Town."' "Mr. Holtzman saw that speeches were not wanted and stopped, as Maurice Donnelly, the local representative of the Terre Haute brewery, and Jerry Taylor, a Pennsylvania road conductor, picked the mayor up on their shoulders and carried him to the street. Here a Kroeesslon was formed, with the band at Its ead. and marched to the police station, where Police Judge Daly was waiting. Here the new city clerk did his first work, and, standing Mr. Daly up in front of him, gravely read the oath of office to him as his first official act. After a few words from Mr. Daly the procession formed again and marched around the different Democratic newspaper offices, in front of which impromptu speeches were made. The mayor tried to get away from the crowd two or three times, but was always prevented until they reached the Grand Hotel, where the band played apain and Mr. Taggart made his escape, bowing and smiling. At his office in the city hall 3.000 cigars, six barrels of apples and 100 dozens of bananas were given away to his friends who called. CRALL ELECTED PRESIDENT. The Nerr Council's First Session Repuhllcan Majority of One. The new City Council held a special meeting last night to organize. Every member was present and occupied a seat without regard to party divisions. The session was a short one and after shaking hand3 all around what business there was to attend to was handled rapidly. Several of the old councilmen were present and occupied seats behind the railing among the spectators. City Clerk Geckler called the meeting to order and ordered a roll call of the new members, the names of whom were arranged alphabetically on special slips. On the completion of this Mr. Geckler said that the first business of the meeting was the election of a president and "Commodore" Higgins at once nominated Edward Bernauer. while Mr. Daller suggested John H. Crall for the Republicans. Messrs. Dickson and Kaiser were named as tellers and the vote showed eleven to ten in favor of Mr. Crall, a strictly party vote. As soon as the result was announced Bernauer asked that his friends make the selection of Mr. Crall unanimous and it was done. On being railed to the chair Mr. rall expressed his thanks for the honor accorded him and asked for the co-operation of all councilmen, Irrespective of party affiliations. In attending to the affairs of the whole people. He said he realized that each member had rights of which he should not be deprived. He said that owing to the closeness of the vote on the councilmen at large he had not attempted to select any committees, but would have them ready by the time the next meeting was held. He then asked the Council to select a vice president, and Harold Megrew was nominated by Mr. Daller, while Moriarity named Mr. Knight. Mr. Megrew was, of course, selected and his election was made unanimous by Mr. Knight's suggestion. Before adjournment Mr. Megrew asked to have a temporary committee on rules appointed and the chair named Messrs. Megrew, Daller and Knight. At the conclusion of the session City Clerk Geckler passed around cigars to all those present. John H. Crall, the new president of the Council is thirty-nine years old and a member of the wholesale commission tirm of J. H. Crall & Co. He lives at No. 2351 North Pennsylvania street and is beginning his second term as councilman from the Third ward. Qulgley In for Ttvo Years. Certain members' of the police departn ent for the last two days have been quite Jubilant over the result of the city election. Certain other members have had the "blues" in a corresponding degree. Two of the Jubilant members are Superintendent Qulgley and Turnkey John Long. Yesterday no arrets had been made up to 6 o'clock, and this fact was known to a man who went there at 7 o'clock. Long was standing in the doorway, and the following conversation took place; "Well, John, what's on the slate now?" "Oh. we've only got one name on there now." The man went over, looked at the slate, and saw the name. "Supt. Qulgley, Indianapolis Tollce Department. Turning to Long, he said: "What' he In for?" "Oh. I guess two years." said John. The superintendent's name was on the slate for the purpose of designating the department to which it should pro in the morning, several copies being made for the several department?. . Cleaveland Fence Company Molders. George Custer, an organizer of the Iron Molders Union, claim that to all intents and purposes, a strike exists at the works of the Cleaveland Fence Company. This Is denied, however, by the officers of tho company, who claim that the works aro running with a full force of men ana mat xnere na never been any trouoio were, cusier eay rs

that about two weeks ago the company discharged an employe who had been named as a "shop committee" by the union but Mr. Byram, one of the owners of the factory, says that when the man was discharged for cause, it was not known to the company that he was a committeeman and that this fact had nothing to do with his dismissal. He said that the works had been closed for a few days because of a lack of material, but that they were now being operated with a full force as an "open shop' "without discrimination against either union or non-union men. EITHER "FRITZ" OR "PRINCE"

Conrt Tries to Establish Identity of a Xewfoundlnnd Dog. "Dog cases," said Justice Smock, yesterday, "are usually bothersome, yet interesting. My connection with this case started Monday last, when a woman came Into the office and wanted to replevin a Newfoundland dog. I informed her that she would have to furnish bond In double the dog's value and asked what the animal was worth. She said It was worth 'to me' a hundred dollars. 'But what's the dog really worth,'" I asked. She did not, appear to know, but finally settled upon a valuation of ?2o. That reminded me of a story and I asked if I might tell 1L She said I might, and I started off: " 'Some years ago,' I went on, 'two Irishmen living close together quarreled about a dog one of them owned. The other Irishman did not like the dog and shot him. The owner of the dog appeared before me, as you have done, and was told he would have to fix some value pn his property. Well,' said he, 'he's not worth much, in fact, I think he's not worth a dum cent, but I intend to get the full value of him.' " The case was set for yesterday and both parties to the suit appeared in court without counsel. Upon the suggestion of the court the room was cleared and the contesting parties made a run for lawyers offices. They returned with their representatives, and it was then discovered that they had no witnesses. An agreement was entered into and the case continued until Monday next. The dog was also in court. Ida M. Stelhorn, who brought the replevin suit, interrupted tho conversation frequently with the remark, "Here Fritz, como here," while Michael Manz, from whom she was trying to get the dog, did the same thing, but called the dog "Prince." Mrs. Stelhorn claims to have raised the dog from a pup and was much attached to It. About two years ago It disappeared and was not seen by her until a few days ago, when she met it on the street, called It by name and took It home. A day or m later Michael Manz called at her place and claimed ownership and took the dog away. HEAVY STOCK SHIPMENTS. A Train of Mules for Manila Was Held Here Awhile. Last evening a train of twenty-five stock cars, loaded with mules, which go to Manila, were brought in over the Big Four, and after being fed at the Union stockyards were shipped on to St. Louis over the Big Four.

THE BAPTIST OFFICERS

W. T. 1VIIITTIXGTOX, OF CRAWFORDSVILLE, SEW rnESIDEXT. Association Listens to Addresses on Edncntlon Under Denominational Influences. The Indiana Baptist Association elected the following officers yesterday: President W- T. Whlttington, of Crawfordsvllle. First Vice President T. J. Villers, of Indianapolis. Second Vice President C. D. Case, of South Bend. Third Vice Presldent-J. W. Clevenger, of Seymour. m , Secretary R. E. Neighbor, of Indianapolis. Treasurer-J. J. W Bllllngsley, of Indianapolis. State Mission Board-J. K. Howard, of Livonia: F. M. Huckleberry, of Logansport; T. J. Villers, of Indianapolis. The report of the educational board was submitted. It contains the following: "In recognition of the large offerings heretofore made by the members of the family and the benevolence of Mr. Milton Shirk and Mrs. Alice Shirk Edwards in the campaign the board of the college has ordered the new tire-proof building to be known as Shirk Hall. The subscriptions of the First Baptist Church, of this city, were large enough to sucrcest that another effort will give this grand body the right to name a .professorship, and the college board has authorized the secretary to so report. "We urge the importance of clinging with all our power to our denominational college. We must preach, pray, work and toll for Christian leducatlon. The supply of leaders in all the enterprises of the church is the absorbing question of the age. These men. for the most part, must come from the denominational college, so that It may be said that 'Christianity and culture Is the hope of the world. The. seed corn of the world's harvest field Is In our Baptist colleges." DENOMINATIONAL EDUCATION. Rev. E. A. Hanley, of the University of Chicago, in speaking of "Denominational Education: its Functions and Its Future," said: "It is possible for us both to predict and to determine what shall be tho standing of our colleges for the future. The college of good endowment "will live and that with an inferior basis must die. It requires no prophetic vision to see that many of the denominational collet's must speedily face this alternative. There Is. perhaps, nothing over which Christians may rejoice more than their institutions for learning, and yet they ought to believe in Christian education to the extent of several million dollars. As Baptists we may bo proud that we lead all denominations in this matter with an endowment of over 14.000.000. But the worth of Baptist principles and the cause of Christian learning would warrant us in making it $23,000,000 at least. This is none too small an offering for the mightiest force for good Christian education. Perhaps some of you may not believe It, but a denomination's power for pood in America will henceforth be in direct proportion to Its educational endowment.' Othr addresses were delivered along similar lines. Last night Rev. Cater Helm Jones, of Louisville, preached a sermon and a reception as given for new pastors. A $50 ELECTION BET. The Lots of It Cansrd Trouble in the Witt Household. Benjamin Witt, living at No. 814 Taeoma avenuewho was arrested last night by Bicycle Police Lancaster and Streit, is charged with assault and battery upon his wife. The story told the police Is that Witt was an ardent supporter of the city administration and went, to certain city officials for a Job on the streets for himself and team. He did not get It. . He thereupon changed his political faith, it Is said, and in the city campaign bet $50 on the Republican ticket. This he lost, and since then a despondent feeling has had possession of him. Yesterday he sought to replenish his supply of spirits, which was low, and was in an ugly mood when he went home at night. He quarreled with his wife, who, it is said, has a temper "all her own." because she upbraided him for the loss of the J50. He struck her in the face and she replied to the attack by throwing a lighted lamp at him. Examination of Pharmacists.
