A petition was presented by 200 of his neighbors testifying to his previous good character. The court said that he did not think Gilaspy entitled to more consideration than any other man who had offended against tue law. Said he: "There is no apology for your crime.

WOMEN FOR THE CENSUS

A CinCtLAR LETTKIl IRRIVG THEM to Arri.v roil positions. Supervisor Clifford Says Some Women May lie l?niplfyefl If Found to Be Competent. A circular has been sent out from Wash ington by Mrs. Lillie Devereux Blake, calling attention to the fact that women may be employed as census enumerators In 1300, and urging women to apply for puch places. In explaining her reasons fcr urging women to apply for places as enumer ators she says: "There are many reasons why thl3 em ployment for women Is most suitable. In the first place, as the work only lasts for a few weeks or months, and then ceases ab?olutelyf it has always been found diffi cult to lind the best men for a labor which offers no permanency of support, while there are many women so situated that they are glad to have the opportunity to earn a good sum of money in some occupation which will not take the whole of their time. Tho service is not severe, especially in the large cities, where the dwellings are crowded together and a per son can work all day in collecting the names of the inhabitants of a few blocks. Another point which deserves consideration Is that the census enumerator as a rule sees only women in the homes which must be visited, as the calls are made during tho hours when men are away on business." Census Supervisor Vincent G. Clifford, when asked what attitude he assumed with regard to the employment of women, said women were eligible, but as yet he had received no applications from them. He sild that while the law did not provide that supervisors were compelled to srlve employment to women. It did not eay that It could not be done. Ir fact, Mr. Clifford faid. there was no law bearing on the matter. He said, however, that if any women applied, and he felt that they were competent, they would be employed, but he had grave doubts as to their being competent. He called attention to the fact that the work has to be done In the cities within two weeks and In the country within thirty days, and that the supervisor. who is responsible for this work, cannot afford to take any chances of failure on the part of his subordinates. The work must be done whether the weather is rainy or pleasant, and under conditions repug nant to the average woman. The same objection, he said, applies to old men. numbers of whom have applied for places. Some of them, he has found, are deaf, while others are crippled with rheumatism, or are feeble from old age, and therefore are of no use as enumerators. DISTRICTING THE CITY. He said tho work of districting the city had not been completed, nor had the rate of compensation been fixed. He said he had asked the Census Bureau to precinct the city according to the political bound aries during the last municipal election. The compensation, he said, would be fixed between 2 cents a name as a minimum and 3 cents as a maximum, but that he had asked that the downtown districts be placed on a per-dlem basis, as in many of the squares there were apparently no real residents, yet it was known that sometimes as high as fifty men and women lived there. lie said at the rate of pay pre scribed by the rules the enumerator could not earn $1 a day, although working harder in ferreting out lodgers in buildings occupied ostensibly for other purposes, than enumerators in residence districts. He said he had been led to believe that the work would be greatly simplified over that of ten years ago, in that only two sheets would have to be filled out. In 1S90 a separate sheet had to be made for all old soldiers, and another for deaths during tne year, besides the main sheet for the principal enumeration. He has asked for two interpreters for this district, and an allowance for clerk hire. He says that while some of the mostdesirable men, intellectually, have applied to him for employment, he has been compelled to reject them because he has found that they ordinarily had to do with property valuations, many of them having been county and town assessors. These people are undesirable, he says, because the government wants the truth as to property holdings of every description, and these men cannot get It because most people know them and fear that whatever they divulge will at some time be used against them on the city or county tax books. The information given to the government is intended to be entirely coniidentlal; is not secured for the benefit of the tax duplicate, and city assessors will not have access to It under any circumstances. He said school teachers were the most desirable people to apply for positions up to this time, as they were intelligent and had leisure time during the period when the census would be taken. In the cities there are not enough male teachers, he says, to supply the demand. He said that nothing could be known before next March as to the district boundaries or the rate of compensation, as all the work being done now was subject to revision by the Washington authorities, and was in fact of the most tentative character. BROKER TO THE RESCUE. He Will Take the School Board JVotes Other Affairs. Charles "M Williams, a broker In the Lemcke building, was present at the meeting of the School Eo.ird last night, and agreed to take the notes which tho board 13 about to Issue to pay for Improvements now being made, at 5 per cent, interest. The board will issue notea to the contractors and Mr. Williams will cash all that are presented to him. In all about 515.000 of notes are to be executed. The board arranged last night to make the final payment of $2,000 on the six-room addition at building No. S2. Clarence Martinca'e was allowed ll.lio.oo for services as architect of this work. The Peck-Wllilums Heating Company was allowed fcs on Its contract at ISo. C2. The board ordered the final payment of J2,4di for plumbing at No. 9, and allowed on the plumbing contract At Nos. 22 and IS. The secretary reported warrants drawn on the treasury during the month of November aggregating $M.l-.2i. The pay rolls for the month amounted to JSS.Tn.SO. The report of- the library committee showed a total of books in the library. The total number of books In circulation during the month was SS.1S4. On next Friday nicht the members of the old and new boards will probably discuss finances together. The question of advertising for the sale or funding of bonds which the new board will Issue in March, will come up at this meeting. It. C. Thlele was awarded the contract for repairing the furnaces at school No. 4 Park evemre and Twenty-third street. The toard agreed to hav this work done cn the assertion of Comrrl-sloner Robinson th it unless th heating apparatus was repaired, the buildlnc could not be used in coM weather. Thlole will receive $130 for his work. THE TELEGRAPHERS Fall to Hold a Conference with Genernl Mnnaerr Sehnff.

Probate Commissioner Walker has received an Invitation to attend a welding which Is to take place at Peking. China, on Christmas. On that day Ltn Ming Chaun. who Is the friend of Mr. and .Mrs. Walker, Is o be married to Mai Jul, the young woman whom his parents have selected for his wife. Un Ming Chaun spent about two years at De Pauw University, educating himself for missionary work among his own people. The father of Commissioner Walker became acquainted with the family of the young Chlntse while engaged In missionary work in China. Lin Ming Chaun, while in college, spent a good deal of time at the home of Commissioner Walker. He 13 a bright young man and Freaks excellent English. He returned -to China last April. His friends here were given to un1eriand that his Oriental bride was selected for him before he left home. His parents made the match and ho had nothing to say about it. Lin Ming Chaun was introduced to a great many people during his visits to Indianapolis, and was very fond of meotlng people. He was exceedingly frank and optn in his manner of speech, a fact which was remarked by a group of Indianapolis women to whom he was talking one day. The conversation related to his future prospects in China. Lin Ming Ciiaun had said he was go.r.g back to be a missionary. "Missionaries who are single," he said, receive $10 a month. When they marry they get Jl a month, and then they receive SI a mon-ih for tho support of mch child. I think I'll go back to China and get married." HEARD AT THE HOTELS. An East Indian Ilaslness Man Here Corridor Gossip. Grandatrao T. Padwal, a native of Bombay, India, Is at the Grand Hotel. Business brings him to this city. He is examining the plant of the L. W. Ott Company, of this city, with a view to securing an insight Into American methods of manufacturing upholstered furniture. He says India, like all other countries, is reaching out for markets other than those offered by England, and with American business enterprises firmly established in the Philippines It is felt that those Islands will offer exceptional advantages to American goods because of the close proximity of the islands to the Indian, Chinese and Russian markets. This trade has, he says, been considerably restricted and at a disadvantage heretofore because of tho easier communication with England and other European countries, whereas Americans were handicapped by not having American lines of steamers and a close base of supplies. He sa3s sentiment In India is strong in favor of the American occupation of the Philippines, as it means new fields of trade for all the southern and eastern Asiatic countries. Will Dnlld Two Extensions. Ex-Representative Charles Lv Henry, of Anderson, was at the Denlson yesterday for a few hours and reported that the Union Traction Company had arranged to build extensions to Its lines to Mlddletown and Frankton. The fir3t named extension will be made from Daleville, on the Muncle branch, while the Frankton line will be built from a point Just north of Llnwood, on the Marlon division. He said he had assurances that all the construction material ordered by the company would be delivered during the winter so that there would be no delay in putting the extensions through on time. John Drodle In the City. John Brodle, one of the strong Democrats of Valparaiso, was at the Bates yesterday, attending the trial of J. J. O'Koefe, of that city, in the United States Court. He said the Democrats of I'orter county are not particularly active this year and the feeling is general that the Republican ticket will be elected. TALKS OF THRESHER TRUST. A. A. McKnln Returns from Nevr York May Locate Offices Here. As already stated in the Journal, the thresher trust has been practically organized with the help of the financiers In New York. A. A. McKaln, of this city, who has been promoting the trust, returned home yesterday from New York, where for three weeks a close accounting of the books, and property of the various concerns which are to be merged into the trust has been going on. He says it is probable that the capitalization will bo $60,000,000 instead of $75.0a,OiO. as at first suggested, and the trust will, he says, be in condition to accept all business for 13CO. He says that In organizing the trust there was no desire to keep any company out of the combination nor was there any desire on the part of the individual manulaciurtrs to stay out, the only points of dliiorence at the meeting being thoe of terms. Mr. McKain says that no e.tort will be made to secure control of the side lines, such as clover hullers, as there are so many that It was found Impossible to get financiers to undertake tho task of buying them all up when it Is felt that their value as a permanent in- , lng machine properties, the products of : which are In demand in all parts of the ; country. Mr. McKain suggested the possiI hillty of the central office of the trust belng located In this city on account of its central location for the agricultural Interi ests. The trust will be known as the j American Thresher Company, and It is understood that Mr. McKain will be its presi- ! dent. Tvo Xew Incorporations. The Lombro Box Company was incorporated yesterday with a capital stock of $2,"X. The directors are Samuel C. Lombro, Ralph H. Goodrich and Rebecca II. Horton.

GREAT SEAT OF LEARNING

COLLEGE PItESIDEXTS TALK OF THE A3II2KICAX UMVEItSITY. Bishop Hurst Thinks It Will Be in i Operation Within a Year Mfli Meeting nt Roberts Park. The sessions of the College Association of the Methodist Episcopal Church were held behind closed doors yesterday In the Century Club room at the Denlson, and. according to Secretary Freshwater, the principal thing discussed was the coming opening of the American University at Washington. Bishop Hurst, who has been In charge of the work of building and organizing the university, made an address during tho afternoon, in which he said that there was every reason to believe that what has been up to this time the only obstacle to the opening of the proposed great institution of learning, was about to be removed and that it might be In operation within a year. He said that at the time the building of the university was undertaken It was decided not to cn It until there should be S5.OCO.0TO In hr.i.C above and aside from the buildings and real estate now owned by the university at Washington. He said all of this amount, except a few thousand dollars, had been subscribed and there was every reason to expect that the slight deficiency would be made up In a short time. He reported that, although the university was to be founded by the Methodist Episcopal Church, most of the money now In hand, amounting to nearly tVOOO.CX), had been subscribed by people outside the church and that, therefore, while the university would be under the control of the Methodist Episcopal Church. It would. In nearly every respect, be undenominational. He reporte-d that a New York syndicate, which deHred the large tract the university own? In Washington, had offered four times what It had originally cost, but the offer was refused. Ho said the only building now erected was the history building, which had cost about $220,000, but which was worth at this time nearly $100,00) more than that figure. THE FACULTY DISCUSSED. This report stimulated a discussion over the personnel of the faculty to be selected, but. as the matter was not properly before the meeting, no formal action was taken. It has been decided, however, that there shall be no collegiate course given at the university which will in any way come Into competition with other Methodist colleges throughout the country, but rather, it will take up the work where these institution leave off. Only those students who have been graduated from first-class colleges will be admitted to the university, nrd under no circumstances will undergraduates bo considered. Two satisfactory papers were read during the afternoon. The first was on "College Men and Political Duties." -by President li. 1 Rajmond, of Wesleyan University, of Mlddletown. Conn. The other was on Nondenominational Societies in Our Church Schools," by President C. W. Lewis, of Moore's Hill College, of Indiana. During the morning papers were read as follows: President Bashford. Ohio Wesleyan, "State Universities and the Christian College;" President J. H. Race. U. S. Grant University, "Institutional Environment;" President L. II. Murlin. Baker University, "Denominational Colleges in the Southwest." The following officers were elected: President I lev. W. F. Warren. LL. D., Boston. Mass. Vice President Rev. Samuel riantz. Ph. D., Appleton. Wis. Secretary and Treasurer Rev. It. M. Freshwater, D. D., Bcrea, O. ; ROBERTS PAJIK MASS MEETIXG. The Interest Is Satisfactory, but the Andlence Is Small. The ninth annual meeting of the College Association of the Methodist Episcopal Church closed last night with a mass meeting at Roberts Park Church. A few of the members in attendance left for their homes last night, but most of them will remain in the city over Sunday, and will fill the pulpits of various Methodist Churches. The mass meeting last night at Roberts Tark Church was not a great success so far as the audience was concerned, but the speakers consoled themselves with the hope that the representation was such that the end sought would be reached through the influence of those In attendance. After a few selections by the church choir, II. A. Gobln. of De Pauw University, secretary of the College Association. Introduced Rev. William P. McDowell, Ph. D., secretary of the board of education, as the "bishop of all the colleges and seminaries of the Methodist Church." In speaking of the twentieth century movement, Mr. McDowell first referred to the probable Influence It would have on the church, which he thought was possessed of sufficient ability and intelligence to insure proper use of the $20,000,000 now being raised for the furthering of Methodist educational Institutions. He said some objections had been made to the plan whereby it was sought to combine the work of converting twenty million people and raising the JO,000.000. In referring to this he said: "It has never been the policy of the church to get men converted that it might get their cash. Never has it tried to drag men to the altar, and then drag out their money after getting them there. "lilshovs have said that Christian education is one of the most Important things to which we may bring our gifts at this time. They have said that the greatest single interest of any conference, of any city, of any community, Js the Interest represented in the Christian schools, or colleges, or universities of that community. You could lose a good many' things out of Indiana and not suffer the loss you would if De Pauw or Moore's Hill were to perish. It Is our Institutions that make ample strength and nobler Uvea. "We have always been wise, proud, sane in our choosing. It has been said that between religion and culture we must always choose religion; between piety and polish we must choose piety. Methodism of the now day will not choose between religion and culture or piety and polish, but will choose both church, religion, power and culture. It is the new church which we are expecting to be. Our very education I may nave to snut in order to become adi Justed to the new-day conditions. The end t of Christian education Is Christian characi ter for Christian service. The great work of the new day is Christian serv;ce." In conclusion Mr. McDowell referred to the magnificent careers of Ie Itauw and I Moore's Hill colleges and expressed tho . lief that De Pauw would have less dilliculty In securing the gifts asked than any other institution of learning with which he was acquainted. He thought large gifts, small gifts and many gifts would come to this institution. President B. P. Raymond, LL. D., of esleyan University, followed Mr. McDowell In an address relating more especially to the education of the twentieth century men and women. In the course of his talk President Raymond said: 'in the twentieth century we shall need men and women. We shall have them by the millions. Millions of them will be very much what millions to-day are hard-working, faithful, trusty, as well as millions Indolent, worthless, not to be trusted. The world will be in the twentieth century about what It is to-day, but if we propose to make the twentieth century somewhat different, somewhat better than It is to-day we are obliged to ask. What about the new ones In the twentieth century the college men and collece women? The college mind is pushing Itself forward. The college mind stands for the thought sldo of the new age. The college stands for almost the largest number of Interests and deepest interests In the world to-day. School work disciplines the will. Men who have been trained In institutions of the past have command of eerious power to-day and will have in ages to come." Chancellor J. R. Day, of Syracuse University, was the next speaker. He spoke for some time on the change which has taken place in the churches respecting the interpretation cf tho church rules and the Scriptures, saying that they could not be

considered as they were years ago, but in an "up-to-date manner." Relative to the new movement for educational advancement he was very enthusiastic in speaking of the outlook and expressed faith in the outcome of the efforts now being made in that direction. The meeting closed with a short talk by Cancellor Hickman, of De Pauw. who stated the plans of the association and the Indiana Institutions, which were members. In raising the funds desired. He said 5105.000 hau been subscribed to the De Pauw sustaining fund and ivo.000 of that sum within the last sixty-five days. He said the prospects were such that he anticipated friends of De Pauw would contribute a sum much In excess of tho $500,000 which they were now trying to raise. TALKS WITH M'GOWAN.

A Boston Banker Is Taking a Look nt the City. Winthrop Coffin, of Perry, Coffin & Co., bankers, of Boston, is in the city In close conference with General Manager Hugh McGowan, of the Indianapolis street-railway. While neither of the men will tell what is to be expected from the visit of Mr. Coffin, it was Intimated last night that it is proposed to issue a loan of $300,000 on the property of the Indianapolis Streetrailway Company. All Mr. Coffin will say of the matter is that he is favorably impressed witn this city as a place for investment, and hints at placing a loan on the South Bend, Elkhart & Goshen electric road. UNDER BOARD OF SAFETY SCVIJIIAL APPOINTMENTS IX THAT DEPAUTMUXT AHil 3IADE. Dr. Chrlsllnn Remains as Police SnrKcon Albert Snhm President of Works Board City Affairs. At a meeting of the Board of Public Safety, held yesterday evening. Dr. Wilmer F. Christian was reappointed to the position of surgeon fcr the police and fire departments. A number of other appointments were also made. Jacob Hllkcne was appointed building Inspector, to succeed John Kxblnson. Hilkene was a candidate for councilman at large on the Democratic ticket. Dr. Douls A. Grelner was reappointed city veterinarian. The board reappointed E. M. Goeb;l to the position of market masier at the down-town market and O. It. Wald, a Democrat, will succeed Joseph Wagner as assistant. The latter becomes the South Side marketmaster, succeeding George Dudley, who is dropped by the board. Jacob Ware was appointed janitor at the South Side market. He has been acting in this capacity for the last month. John Johnson was reappointed assistant Janitor. The board reappointed Ldward Kavanaugh as engineer at Tomllnson Hail. Uie uoard has not yet Indicated whether Euward 11. Davis will remain as its clerk. This matter was not brought up yesterday. Mayor Taggart said last night that he was not yet ready to speak of probable changes on the Board of Public Works, it is known, however, that Albert Sahm is to be president of the board PARK BOAHD SESSIONS. Site for Art Museum In Riverside Park Is Tendered. The Board of Park Commissioners met yesterday morning and discussed several things of interest to the public. Owing to the fact that the committee from the Art Association has not been able to agree upon a site for the location of the new art museum, the board, upon the recommendation of Mr. Coffin, who is a member of the board and also a member of the Art Association committee, renewed the offer to give to the Art Association suitable land In Riverside Park to be used as a site for the art museum. Mayor Taggart was present and he indorsed the act of the members in tendering the land to be used for that purpose. He said that the association could have all the land that was necessary, and that street car accommodations would be made so that the museum would be made easily accessible. If the Art Association accepts the offer of the Park Board for a site at Riverside Park the museum will be kept open three days during the week for the public. The park commissioners also discussed the pollution of certain streams running through Indianapolis. The law gives the park board Jurisdiction over running streams, and, while the police authorities have been looking after the matter, members of the board believe that if the matter were left in their hands they would watch It more closely. A communication was sent to City Attorney Kern asking for suggestions. The offer from the water works company to sell four acres to the board for $3,500 was rejected and proceedings In condemnation will bo begun. Building of a Switch. At the meeting of the Board of Works Monday City Attorney Kern will give an opinion on the right of the Indianapolis Street-railroad Company to build a "Y" switch on Nineteenth street, at. Alabama. It Is claimed that the roadway is so narrow that there Is not room enough for the switch. Vapor Lights Ordered. The Board of Works met yesterday morning and the only business transacted was the ordering of specifications for two hundred or more vapor lights to be placed in various parts of the city. State Health Board's Iteport. The annual report of Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the State Board of Health, was filed yesterday with Governor Mount. It shows the deaths in the Stato from- communicable disease to have been as follows: Typhoid fever, 667; tuberculosis. 2,279: smallpox. 1; cerebro-spinal meningitis, 3S2; scarlet fever, 108: diphtheria, 432: dlarrhoeal diseases 527. 309 of which were children under five years of age. Dr. Hurty says that the probabilities are that the pure food law and the law against the pollution of streams will remain unenforced for lack of funds, as the appropriation of $0,000 for the collection and tabulation of the vital statistics of the State Is totally Inadequate. He earnestly recommends that a "state sanatorium for indigent consumptives" and a laboratory of hygiene be established at a cost of $10,000. George Itusnell Identified. George Russell, colored, who was sent to the workhouse for two months a few days ago for carrying concealed weapons, was identified yesterday by Mrs. Edith Burnett, No. 603 North Senate avenue, as the highwayman who knocked her down on Senate avenue, a short distance from her home, and robbed her of a pocketbook, letter, handkerchief and other articles. Rusell lived at No. lO-. Rhode Island street, and his rooms were searched. Three dress skirts and a waist stolen from Mrs. W. H. Whitney. No. 113 Kast Eighteenth street, were found.

There was a good deal of dissatisfaction expressed at the boxing carnival at Mozart Hall last night because the main bout between "Kid" Roberson and Jack Downey did not take place. The management, however, was in no way to blame for the failure of this fight to be pulled off. During the second preliminary contest between Tete Lacey and "Spider" Kelly the latter was sent to the floor by a severe blow delivered by Lacey, and because he did not respond to the call from Referee Creasey, Police Captain Kruger announced to the managers of the affair that the entertainment was at a close and the main contest could not be given. Downey, who has been branded as a faker by the press of other cities, stood in the crowd and circulated reports that he would not go Into the ring because there was not sufficient money in the box office. This was not the reason the fight did not occur. Downey and Roberson would have fought but for the interference of the police, providing Downey would have shown up in the ring. Roberson was in his dressing room ready to enter the ring and had been examined by physicians as to his condition, but Downey ranted around the hall and from appearances he had no intention of fighting, but wanted to hold the club to the forfeit money. He never donned his ring attire and never submitted to an examination by the physicians on hand for that purpose. He was branded as a "four-flusher" and seemed to be very glad when the police stopped the affair and would not allow the bout of the evening to take place. In fact, he told Police Captain Kruger that Kelly was knocked out, and this helped to influence the oHicer to stop proceedings. Downey will no doubt leave Indianapolis, as the sporting fraternity here docs not care to deal wltn talkative fighters. He claims that he Is to fight at Cincinnati in a short time, but it is said that he is not the real Jack 'Downey, but an alleged fighter w ho goes around the country picking up what little money he can under that guise. The two preliminary contests were very exciting. Jim Real got the decision oyer Joe Colbert. Lacey was too strong for Spider" Kelly, and in the fourth round he gave him a severe left on the. Jaw. follow -lng It with a hard one over the heart that sent him to the floor. It looked like a knockout, but Kelly was soon .revUed and stated that he had "lain down to Lacey. Location of Grandstand. W. H. Watklns stated last night that he had decided to build the grandstand at the new park in the southwest corner of the lot. This will place it so that the sun will not shine In 'the spectators' faces, and will also remove the crowd from Washington street, where the "rooting" would annoy some of the residents near at hand.
