Ctrl Roloff. a saloon keeper at 321 West Maryland street, and his wife Maud wer arrested yesterday by Detectives Gerber a . . . . Mb ana jaorgaa upen miormation rrom uan- . llle, 111., where they are wanted on the charge of kidnaping a seven-year-old girl from John Walker on Monday last Both Roloff and his wlfo admit the charges, but say the child is their daughter, and though it was in legal custody of Walker, such possession was secured about five years ago because of their Ignorance of the law. When the child was l)orn Roloff and his wife were quite young and without means and ability to properly take care of the Infant. It was therefore placed In charge of Mr. and Mrs. Walker for care. When the child was about a year old Roloff and his wife again secured possession of it. and they claim it was kid -leaped from them by Walker. They swore out warrants for his arrest, and the matter was In the courts when they decided to 'move to Birmingham, Ala., where lived Mrs. HolofTs parents. Before they left, however. Walker secured a temporary Injunction restraining them from attempting to secure possession of the child or visiting his house until a final determination of the case. They went to Birmingham under the Impression that notice of the trial would be given them. It was not, however, and when the case was called the Injunction was .made permanent and the child given Into legal custody of Walker and hU wife. Requests for the return of the child were Trade several times by Roloff, but refused by Walker. Roloff recently consulted a lawyer here relative to securing possession of the little on j, and was advised to go to Danville and tfet her in any way possible, and then fight the case. They then went to Danville, where Mrs. Roloff secured a buggy, and awaited a chance to get the Ctrl into the buggy. She first saw the girl n her way to school and tried to induce her to get In and take a ride, but instead the child ran into the wrhoolhouse, which waa not far away. Mrs. Itoloft then went Into the schoolhouse. and after a talk with cne of the teachers the girl was induced to Set Into the bucsy. upon a premise of new resses and other things to her liking. Roloff and his wife then returned to Indlanapoll with the child. The scenes yesterday in the matron's rooms at police ''headquarters were such as would leave no doubt as to the feeling of the parents regarding the child, who was there with her mother, and the sympathies of Matron Gregolre and other members of the police force are with Kolon. The pirl expressed a desire to stay with her mother, and said she did not care to see Walker and his wife again, although they had treated her kindly. Roloff and his wlfo will bo taken to Danville for trial. STATE'S FAMILY QUARREL. Health Hoard and Trustee Iloth Want the Same Attorneys. The suits against township trustees on ac count cf unsanitary schoolhouses have brought about a state of affairs which Is not known to have existed before. Prosecut ing attorneys and county attorneys are secured by the trustees to defend them, which Is entirely within the law, and a state board, which Is supposed to b represented by the same attcrntys, has ben forced to employ ouulde attorneys to do work which It has always heen contemplated would te done by the attorneys representing the other rtde.

PURE FOOD STANDARDS

Tin: statu noAnn op health FIX ALLY ADOPTS OIUIIXAXCIIS. Some of Them Will Not Go Into Effect for a Year-Coat of Promnlcntltn. The ordinances establishing minimum standards and defining specific adulterations of foods and drugs, commonly known as the pure food ordinances, were last night adopted by the State Board of Health. Copies of the proposed ordinances have been in the hands of the members of the board for some time, and copies were also sent to packers and canners of fruitsr and other foods, as well as to the State Dairymen's Association. A number of suggestions were mad?, particularly by the dairymen, and their suggestions were all accepted. In deference to the requests of the dealers in the different foods, a number of suggestions by them were accepted. Rule 15, relating to catsups, mincemeat, canned, n-eats, canned fish, canned vegetables, canned soups, canned fruits, molasses and syrups, will not go into effect until Oct. 1, l.f00, as the dealers in these articles have Jvst laid in heavy stocks, and to mako the rule effective at once would cause great Icfs to the dealers. For the same reason Rule 21, relating to fruit Jellies, fruit butters, preserver canned fruit, etc., will not be effective until the same date. The grocers asked this on account of the stock now cn hand. Rule 29, relating to baking powders, will be effective Jan. 1 next. It Is believed that the stock of baking powder now on hand by the grocers of the State will be exhausted by that date, and it was requested by the grocers that this rule should not be effective at once. The members of the board said they were highly gratified with the hearty co-operation, of all Interested in the rules, and in not a single case was opposition manifested. All rules other than those in which the date Is fixed will become operative as soon as promulgated by the board. The method is prescribed by the law which authorized the rules, and the law requires that a copy of the rules shall be sent to the secretary of each county Board of Health, and the commissioners of each county shall cause the rules to be published for two consecutive Issues of two weekly newspapers, representing the dominant political parties of each county.

A GANG HAD BEATEN HIM.

Henry "Whitney Returned frith a Revolver and Shot Arthur Braxton. White the Colored "Independents' were out celebrating last night a crowd of about fifty boys were following them and creating noise that only added to the din already made by tho marchers. Tho boys followed until the procession reached Monument place, and there, meeting Henry Whitney and Llnman Whitney, his nephew, also colored, they began to overreach their enthusiasm by beating Whitney in a most Inhuman manner. Whitney and nephew were no match against such odds, and they ran into English's Hotel, where Henry Whitney Is employed as checkboy during the day. Tho boys did not follow Whitney, but turned their attention to finding tho parade again. In this they were unsuccessful and several went to their homes. Arthur Braxton, Charles Smith, Joseph Spauldlng and "Gene" McGinrJs, all colored, walked out East Market street till they reached tho market house, and there perched on tho vacant stands in front. In the meantime young Henry Whitney, suffering from his recent beating at the hands of these boys, went to his home at 537 East Court street and armed himself with a revolver. He came west on Market street, not knowing where his assailants were. Suddenly he was stopped in front of the store of "Cheap John," which is in the southeast corner of tho market, by Arthur Braxton, who &ssumed a defiant attitude and said: "Now what do you intend to do?" Whitney, recognizing Braxton as the fellow who had assaulted him, made no reply, but immediately opened lire. The first shot went wild, but the second entered Braxton's head at tho corner of the left eye, and, scraping the skull for about six Inches, came out back of the oar. Tho third struck him in the right shoulder near the collar-bone and lodged deep under the shoulder. Whitney ran west on Market street after the shooting and around the Circle to English's Hotel and hid in the kitchen. Braxton fell to the ground when shot and bruised his mouth severely in the fall. Ills frightened comrades left Braxton lying on the ground. Some men who were attracted by the shooting carried him to the drug store at the corner of Market and Delaware streets and telephoned for the city ambulance. Dr. Todd took the wounded man to the Dispensary and succeeded in dressing the wound in the head, but could do nothing toward locating the bullet under the shoulder. He then sent the man to the City Hospital. Neither wound last night was thought to be fatal. Whitney was arrested about an hour after the shooting In the English Hotel lobby by Detectives Thornton and Kinney. lie Is only eighteen years of nge, while his victim is about twenty. While the doctor was dressing Braxton at the Dispensary he could not talk In a rational manner. He did not know that he was shot and seemed surprised that such was the case. Bil PTIST SUNDAY SCHOOLS.

CONTEST TO BE DROPPED

HARDLY PROBABLE . REPtBLICAXS CAX SECi nE NECESSARY EVIDENCE. Democrat. In Violation of lw, Destroyed Ballot Which Would Have Sliotvn the Unfairness. There Is a strong probability that no suit will be brought on behalf of Charles A. Bookwalter to contest the vote by which Mayor Taggart was re-elected on last Tuesday. A number of the best known attorneys of tho city have been investigating the statute under which such a suit would have to be brought, and the matter will not bo definitely determined until some time today. Among- tho Republicans the opinion prevails that no suit will be brought. Mr. Bookwalter left the city yesterday morning to go to Martinsville for a day or two's re3t. He left the case in the hands of his friends. Charles N. Thompson, one of the attorneys representing Mr. Bookw.'Jter, said yesterday evening: "It seems that some ballots claimed to have been mutilated have been destroyed by election officers and are not in the bags. Tills was a clear violation of the law, as every ballot not deposited In the box by the common consent of the members of tho election board should have been returned by the Inspector to the city clerk. The result is that some of the evidence on which a contest would be based has been destroyed. As to the ballots that have been placed in the bag and returned to the clerk, it Is not possible to know their exact character unless they are examined, and they can only be examined In a contest of quo warranto proceeding; There have been violations of the law, we are sure, but how far they con be proved and what steps will be taken will bo determined to-morrow. The feeling is strong among Republicans that if there are sufficient grounds on which to base a contest it should be made." Attorneys say that the Australian ballot law makes no provision for a recount, and) if an action is brought the proceedings will have to be taken under an old statute that is rather vague in its provisions. THE "INDEPENDENTS PARADE. Taggart Colored Men Cause Some Little Excitement. A hundred or moro colored men who professed to have supported Mayor Taggart in the recent election had a "Jollification" last right as the "Independent Colored Voters." They paraded the downtown streets in carriages and tallyhoes, headed by a colored band on foot. Men in a wagon dispensed fireworks, frightening horses along tho route. A living cartoon was one of tho features of the parade. Hitched to a tumble-down buggy was the characteristic Democratic mule. In tho buggy was seated a colored man, with a card In front, on which was written "Seventh Precinct, Seventh Ward." On his back was a wire cage in which reposed a white rabbit, which was utterly indifferent to the demonstrations around him. On the top of the cago was tied a symbol of victory, a rooster. Just after the lino turned on to Pennsylvania street some of the men In the forward carriages dropped a buhdle of Roman candles, which had caught fire from numerous sparks. There was a large crowd on the corner, and when the candles began to respond to the monitor within they were pointed in the direction of the largest crowd. Ten seconds was about the time it took that gathering to find places of safety. This crowd had no sooner scattered than the string around the bundle broke and the candles dispensed their contents in every direction, putting to flight those who were stationed on both sides of the street. Quite a number of horses standing near had evidently been "under lire" before and paid but little attention to. the assaults of the balls of fire. One of the teams in the parade, much to the amazement of onlookers, was driven directly over the fiery candles. Cost of the Election. City Controller Johnson said yesterday the expense of tho election would not exceed $3,000, the sum appropriated, unless the city had to pay tho cose of the election of school commissioners'. He thinks the School Board should pay its own election bills. He will allow the election inspectors three days' pay. Ho says they worked Tuesday In the precincts. Wednesday and until 4:30 o'clock Thursday morning. Mr. English Reconsiders. W. E. English, president of the Park Board, bowed to the wishes of Mayor Taggart yesterday and reconsidered his resignation He will remain on tho board until next year at least. Mayor Taggart said yesterday wheji asked what changes w:ould be mado in the city administration that he would take no action on the resignations of his subordinates for a week. New Police Judge's First Act. William C. Daly, the new police judge, with a diamond sparkling In his shirt front, assumed his duties yesterday morning and lined Benjamin Witt, of 814 Tacoma avenue, J25 and costs for beating his wife. OPERATORS STILL AT WORK. Yesterday the Last Day for Casting; Ballots as to Striking:. The committee representing the Order of Railway Telegraphers, Big Four system, meeting in this city, has not yet determined to declare a strike. Last night the members refused to talk. Ballots have been sent out to the members of tho order and yesterday was the last day for casting them. If a two-thirds vote be given In favor of the strike the matter will be referred to the executive board of the Federation of American Railway Employes, which consists of the chief executive officers and the chairmen and secretaries of the general committees of the different organizations on the Big Four Railroad. If this board approves the action of the telegraphers the strike will be participated in by the members of the Order of Railway Conductors, the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and the Order of Railway Telegraphers. A Big Four telegraph operator who does not belong to the organization said last night that the reason he had not joined it was because he did not see what benefit he would derive. It was his Information, he said, that the organization was not strong among- the operators employed by the -Biff Four and held only about 50 per cent, of them In Its membership. He added that he understood few of the Big Four operators in thl3 city were members of the organization, and principally its membership consisted of operators out on the road. The organization was trying to enlist the other railroad organizations in its cause before declaring a strike, this operator asserted. Bicycling: at Paris Exposition. Capt. A. II. Mattox, of the bureau of publicity. United States commission to the Paris exposition, says that "cyclists will be well looked after at the Paris exposition next year." A building will be erected with accommodations for about 23.000 bicycles and 500 motor cycles. By paying a penny visitors may leave their machines with an attendant while wandering around the exposition and on leavina, can have them returned at any gate at which they want to make their exit. Paris during the exposition next year will txs the great rendezvous for bicyclists from all over the world. As a further attraction to bicyclists a big international bicycle race meet, extending over a week, will be held In the gay city, opening on Sept. 8 with the Grand Prix de 1'Exposltlon. for which 16.000 will be offered as prizes. A big amateur event will also be held, for which prizes valued at about $1,000 will be offered, and a hundred-mile paced race tor 200. Prizes amounting to $5,000 will be given in a twenty-four-hour race. In all a sum of about HO.OOO will be put up for competition during "bicycle week" at the F&ria exposition. Proposed West-Side Boulevard. At a meetinar f the Park Board yesterday morning Mr. Merrltt introduced a resolution for a boulevard running through an addition west of Agnes street and south of Michigan street, adjacent to White river. The addition has been laid out by the New

York Improvement Company and this company has offered to donate several lots for small parks if the cltv builds the boulevard. The proposed boufevard will run from Agnes mrtet west to the river and north to Michigan street. Its construction will cost about $10,000. It will be three-quarters of a mile long and will be called Owassa avenue. It was announced that I. N. Richie would soon offer to donate a strip of land along the river, running north from Michigan street. It was pointed out that this would extend the boulevard from the center of the city to Riverside Park. The matter will bs actd on next Friday. PERRY S. HEATH IN TOWN.

First Anslfltaiit Postmaster General Looking; Into Rural Delivery. Perry S. Heath, first assistant postmaster general, arrived last evening, having stopped over here on his way from Chicago to look into the rural free-delivery eystem. This is Mr. Heath's pet scheme, and he expressed himself as highly pleased with its success thus far. He will call on Postmaster Hess to-day. He Is proud of the record l?elng made by the Indiana men In the service in Torto Rico and Cuba, and he speke highly of Walter K. Landls and Lee Nixon, both of whom are well known here. All the Indiana men In the service there have entered on their work with enthusiasm and are making a great success of it. In the postal service in the Philippines the department is doing the best in its power to follow -the army. All mail has to be taken over on government transports, and these vessels arc Irregular. The transport may be delayed in getting away from fcJan FranCisco and it may stop far several days at Honolulu, so that the department is unable to fir a definite time when to expect to forward the mail. So far as the. service in the island of Luzon Is concerned, the abandoning of towns by the United States troops after taking them has caused the department to have a postoffice- one day, when the troops were in possession, and to have no office there the next day, when the town has been abandoned. The utmost efforts are being made to keep the service satisfactory. BLACHERNE WANTS GAS INDIANAPOLIS CO 31 PA NY RESTRAINED FROM CUTTING IT OFF. Gen. Lew Wallace Insists Ills Furnaces Must De Supplied Case Set for Next Week. Yesterday afternoon an order was Issued In the Superior Court restraining the Indianapolis Gas Company from cutting off the gas supply from the boilers in the Blacherno 'apartment house. Judge Carter granted the restraining order on the application of attorneys representing General Lew Wallace, owner of the Blacherne. Judge Carter will hear evidence on the petition to make the injunction permanent on Oct. 30. Tho suit grows out of the recent notice issued by the gaa company to the effect that no gas would be supplied for large furnaces or boilers during the coming winter season. The complaint avers that the gas company has been threatening to cut off the gas from tho Blacherne boller9, and It was reptesented to Judge Carter that this would be' done urless he interfered. The complaint sets out the ordinance under which the gas companies operate, and complains that to shut off the gas from the Blacherne boilers would be unjust discrimination. At tho Blacharne gas is supplied by meter measurement, the gas company receiving. 10 cents for each one thousand cubic feet. It Is claimed that by reason of a device patented by the engineer at the Blacherne the strictest economy is observed In the use of gas, and it is asserted that there Is no reason why the gas company should decline to feed the Blacherne boilers. There are ninety-four grates and fifty-two stoves and ranges in the Blacherne that are supplied with gas. The gas company had no Intention of cutting off the fuel from the rooms, but according to the complaint was determined to cut it off from the boilers. It has been the custom of the engineer at the Blacherne to turn on steam in the different rooms when the gas supply Is low, and the complaint avers that should gas be refused for the boilers it would greatly inconvenience the occupants of the building. Suit was also brought against the Indianapolis Gas Company yesterday by Nancy A. Robb, who is suing for $2,500 damages. Mra. Robb. on May 3, was proprietress of a bearding and rooming house yon Highland place. She says she had a contract with the gas company by which her house was to be supplied with gas, and she was to pay her gas bills on the 10th of each month. On May 3 last, she says, an agent of the defendant company came to her house and cut off her gas despite her protests and the fact that she exhibited receipts to show that she was "square" with the company. She charges that the agent refused to go to a telephone near by and communicate with the company's office for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not she was in arrears. County Bridfre Contracts. Tho county commissioners yesterday awarded a number of small bridge contracts.
