Ileser Introdaced It In. the Hoa-e. A bill wa3 introduced in the House yesterday designed to remedy the constitutional objections to the Barrett law. S. It. Artnan, speaker of the House, Is the author of the measure, but it was introduced by Representative Ileser, of Tippecanoe county. The bill applies only, to those cities and towns that have no special charters. It is not an amendment to the Barrett law, but a bill for a complete street, alley and sewer improvement law. It provides for assessments on the basis of special benefits only, dolnjj away with the front foot rule entirely. The assessments aro to be made by the city commissioners, and property owners are riven the right to a hearing before these commissioners on the question of benefits, and also the right of appeal to the Circuit Court. The assessments are made to run ten years, payable in annual Installments, with per cent, interest, payable semi-annually, both principal and interest being payable In the manner in which Taxes are palu. If an assessment becomes delinquent it is subject to the same pena ties as delinquent taxes, and is collectible by the city treasurer in the same manner only. Tne pernicious system of foreclosure, with attorneys lets, provided lor In the Barrett law, Is eliminated. An improvement certificate Is . to be issued to the contractor for each, assessment. Any property owner may, at any time, discharge the lien from hl3 property by paying the cl.y treasurer the principal of the assessment and the Interest to tne date of payment. Whenever sucn payment is made the contractor must surren der me improvement ceruncaie to me City treasurer for cancellation. E2T0IKXEB BADLY BUBNED. Fire in m Gam ripe Under the F1Userald Iiulldlntf. The bursting of a gas main under the tluewalk of the Fitzgerald building last night about 1) o'clock resulted In a serious Injury to the night engineer, Edward Samuels, a colored man. The pipe was protruding from the street into the cellar, at which point a three-inch hose was attached to convey the gas to the furnaces underneath the boilers. It was at the Juncture of the hose and the gasplpe that the fire terted. Large sheets of flame could be seen through the glass floor at the entrance and when the fire department arrived it looked as though a very stubborn fire was to be handled. From the odor of escaping gas the cause of the fire was readily seen, and when the t;as was turned off the blaze subsided. When the district patrolmen entered the ctllar through a very narrow stairway they found the engineer half stifled with rmoke. trying to grope his way out. Patrolman Sullivan endeavored to rescue Samuel3, and in his efforts was himself badly burned about the hands. Samuels, when taken from the cellar into the air seemed greatly confused and insisted that he was not burned. Police Surgeon Christian was called. When he removed Saraeuls's overcoat his shirt and vest were In ribbons. About the back. neck, arms and faee Samuels was terribly burned. He was taken by Dr. Christian to Pomeroy's drug store, where a lotion was applied to his r.urns. The loss to the building from the fire was slight. SIS ABBESTS MADE.

THE AMENDMENTS LOST

A DECISION TO THAT EFECT II V THE STATE SUPREME COUItT. The Opinion "Written hy Judge TJaker Judge Jordan's Dissenting Opinion. The constitutional amendments voted on at the last election had an effective quietus rut to them yesterday in an opinion handed down by the Supreme Court, through Judge Francis E. Baker, which was concurred in by Judges Dowling, Monks and Hadley, but dissented from by Judge Jordan. Judge Hadley did not concur in all the arguments stated in Julge Baker's opinion, but agreed with the result reached. The title of the case decided was "The Petition of George L. Denny for admission to practice law," and it came up from tho Marion Circuit Court. In the early part of his opinion Judge Eaker devoted considerable space to a statement of the binding force of the Constitution, declaring that there Is no room lor construcUon of its language, which U too plain for quibbling. lie says that tho trial court probably took Judicial knowledge of the fact that 240.031 votes were cast for the amendment concerning eligibility to practice law and that, if these figures had been Incorrect, the Supreme Court could and would have Ignored them and taken the correct figures from the returns sent to the office of the secretary of state. The Judge says that the Supreme Court knows judicially that at the same election 664,0)4 votes were cast for presidential electors, 655.905 for Governor and 433,670 on the other amendment relating to increase in number of Judges of the Supremo Court. Since the ccurt thus knows that more than twice as many votes were cast at the election than were cast for the amendment in question, it holds that the amendment was lost. SPECIAL ELECTION ARGUMENT. The court took up and disposed of the argument that the amendments were voted on at a special election and that, therefore, the number of votes cast for presidential electors and Governor ought not to be considered. The opinion says that the act of the Legislature of 1SD9 submitting the amendments to vote of the people, submitted them "at the next general election." Further, the opinion says, in order for the act of 1SD9 to have provided for a special elecUon , for these amendments, it would have been compelled to make certain requirements as to the manner of conducting such election. Among these would have been a provision requiring a return of the total number of ballots for and against the amendments that were deposited In the ballot boxes. The opinion calls attention to the fact that the amendments were printed on the same ballot and that the one in question received less than half as many votes as were cast for the other, and asks how many of the 493,670 voters who cast their ballots for the amendment increasing the Judges of the Supreme Court were ineligible? CASE OF STATE VS. SWIFT. The part of the opinion which discusses the case of State vs. Swift is of interest. The court points out the error in that case as follows: "The article relating to amendments of the organic law has been before this court but once. In State vs. Swift. 69 Ind., 605. tho question concerned the adoption of a proposed constitutional amendment, which was submitted to the electors of the State at the election for township officers in April, 1SS0. The only vote certified to the secretary of state was the vote on the proposed amendment. The vote was 16U.4Ö for and 162,251 against the proposed amendment. The elections of township officers in the various townships of the State were purely local elections. The returns thereof are not made to the secretary of state, and do liot become a part of the archives of the State.. It was held, first, that it requires at least a majority of all the votes cast at the same election to raify a constitutional amendment,' and, second, that the proposed amendment had not been adopted, on the ground that the court Judicially knew that more electors had participated in thd, township elections than had voted for and against the proposed amendment; that the court could not definitely say that a majority of the electors of the State had ratified the proposed amendment, and, therefore, it did not affirmatively appear that it 'was adopted; and that the court could not definitely say that it had failed to receive the approval of a majority of the electors of the State, and, therefore, it had not been rejected, but might be resubmitted. The second proposition was decided incorrectly, for courts will not take judicial notice of the results of local elections. 17 A. and E. Ency. Law (second ed.), SS8. The error in the Swift decision, as well as the distinction between that case and one like the present, is pointed out In the dissenting opinion of Justice Niblack: 'If the amendment under discussion had been submitted to the electors of the State at and as a part of a general election, and If the returns of that general election had shown affirmatively that a majority of those voting at such election had not voted to ratify such amendment, then quite a different question would have been presented for our consideration. There is good authority for holding that. In such event, the amendment would not have been ratified " TUB CONCLUSIONS. The decision of the ourt is that the judgment refusing Mr. Denny admission to the bar upon proof that he Is a voter of good moral character, is reversed, with instructions to the trial court to re-state its conclusions of law and admit the young man to practice. The agreement providing that the Legislature may In Its decretlon Increase the number of Judges in the Supreme Court was not Involved in this case and. therefore, its fate was not settled. It Is believed, however, that it would meet the same fate if its validity were tested in the higher court. Judge Jordan filed a voluminous dissenting opinion, covering forty-five closely written pages of manuscript. He cites a large number of decisions from courts of last resort in various States of the Union and takes the ground that the provision in the Constitution relating to the passage of amendment by a majority of electors means a majority of the electors who see fit to exercise their privilege of voting and has no reference to those passive electors who fall to vote. GREAT MORTALITY. All Itecords 'for January Ilroken In This County. Tho mortality rate In Indianapolis last h'onth was probably the largest ever known In one month In the history of the city when there were no epidemics of contagious diseases. The records in the Board of Health .office yesterday . showed 318 deaths reported for January in Marion county, and nearly three hundred of these M ere for Indianapolis. This enormous number Is against 202 for the same month last year. The death returns show a large per cent, of pneumonia and grip cases, while tuberculosis has also claimed many ,-veople. The health authorities attribute the bad weather and changeable conditions of the atmosphere last month as causes fcr the increased death rate. Death of John K. Davenport. The funeral of John F. Davenport, a resident of Marion county for fifty years, who died Thursday at his home, No. Burgess avenue, Irvington, after a three weeks illness, will be held to-morrow morning, at 10:30 o'clock, from his late home. The burial will be at Crown Hill. Mr. Davenport was sixty-five years of age. He was born in Ohio and came here when about fifteen. He was a member of the first volunteer fire brigade In the history of the city. He lived for a number of yars at Traders' Point and then removed to itt tzta which Is now known as Fair-I

view Park. Six years ago he moved to Irvington. He was for thirteen years overseer of the park for the street-railway company. He was married thirty-six years ago to Mis3 Phoebe Ann McCune.-'who survives him. He also leaves his mother, living at Traders' Point, and two sons, Charles and William, and one daughter, Mrs. Clara Meyers, of this city. He was a member of the Christian Church, and since his residence in Irvlngton was associated with the Downey-avenue Church. CLOSE OF HOBSE SALE.

The Lnst of a Fine Lot of Animals Sold. The annual horse sale at the Union stockyards was concluded last evening, when the last cf nearly &j0 fine animals was sold, the majority to shippers for foreign trade. The majority of the best ones were disposed of earlier in the sale, but in the two hundred sold yesterday there were a number that brought over $200. Mr. Boddenheimer, of New York, was one of the heavy bidders yesterday, and quite a number of good horses were sold to him. The blddh.g in many instances was as spirited as at any time during the sale. Arnheim & Williams, of Michigan, purchased a fine bay team at $030. Ed Fowler, of Indianapolis, mixed up in a lively bid and run the price to $25 on a fine road horse. He was th h?ghest bidder. M. Gregory, of Lafayette, purchased a brown mare at $225 that wau one ot the best sales of the day. Ab Garson, of New York, bid $200 even on a sorrel mare, and the animal was sold to him. Pcddenheimer secured four of the best at prices ranging from $200 to $300. Mr. Reartlon. an Indianapolis buyer, bought a brown horse for $235 that was said to be a bargain. Horsemen say the sale that Just closed was as successful as the one last year, and the hcrees offered were as fine in quality as those offered last year. COMMITTEE IS ANNOYED IT ODJCCTS TO ACTION OP INDIANA LEGISLATIVE. Representative BHers Presents Ileso lation to the House Committee on Public IJulldlnc. Representative MIers appeared yesterday before the House committee on public building and grounds in Washington and laid before it the concurrent resolution of the Indiana Legislature protesting against an increase In the limit of cost of the Indianapolis federal building asked by the supervising architect of the treasury, and against the use of any other material for the exterior than Indiana limestone; and also the resolution of the Indiana Republican Editorial Association insisting upon the use of Indiana limestone, to the exclusion of marble or granite. Consideration of the Indianapolis building was postponed vntll next week. It Is learned that the committee Is considerably annoyed over the Indianapolis building. To begin with, It was understood from Assistant Secretary Taylor, of the Treasury Department, that only a part of Square 3C was needed, and that only , what was needed would be fought. Instead of that the whole of the square was purchased at a price more than $200,000 greater than that received for the old site. It is admitted. Chairman Mercer said, that the proposed building will hot occupy the entire square, and that the proposition to put it in the middle of the square and make a park cf the surplus ground will entail continual expense upon the national government to maintain the park, unless it bo permitted to become an eyesore to everybody through being neglected. Now cornea this controversy over the proposed increaso in the limit of cost and the particular stone to.be used. The supervising architect recommends the limit be raised to $2,400,000, but he does not say, and nobody seems to know, how much money would bo available for th? building If the limit were raised, nor, indeed, how much is available if the limit to not raised. That will have to be definitely settled before tho committee will be able to act understandlngly upon the supervising architect's recommendation. In making his recommendation the supervising architect paid nothing whatever about a change in the material to be used for the exterior of the structure. It was the original Intention to use Indiana limestone, and there i3 no official intimation that there will be a change. After the selection of the design the question was raised by private architects as to the suitability of that stone for carrying out a severe classic design for which heretofore nothing but marble or granite had been used vchere procurable, and where not. the walls of the structure were rainted white, as in the old part of the Capitol and the White House. However, the Journal's Washington correspondent was assured yesterday from a trustworthy soured that the Philadelphia aichltects whose design was adopted hava said that their design could be worked out properly in Indiana limestone. Representative Miers also informed the correspondent that lie heard the same thing and saw no reason to doubt It. The Legislature, It is thought In Washington,' wert too far when it resolved against an increase in the limit cf cost. That is made necessary by the Increase in the price of materials of all kinds, and by the payment of ?MO,000 more for the new site than was received for the old one. It Is thought there that the Legislature should have confined Itself to declaring in favor of Indiana limestone. WORKING ON A BILL. Attorney General Tnylor I Codlrylng the Poor Laws. Attorney General Taylor, James R. Reed, president of the Township Trustees' Association, and Secretary Butler, of tho State Board of Charities, were in conference yesterday afternoon in regard to the bill which Attorney General Taylor has prepared, codifying all tho poor laws that have been enacted slnco the adoption of the Constitution. This bill, which will be put before the Legislature at the earliest opportunity, harmonizes all of the poor l'iws with those of the township reform law and puts under one heading everything relating to the poor. The bill does net, however, affect or change materially the existing laws, but makes plain what v;as very uncertain before in the township reform law. Under this bill the township trusters become the overseers of the poor and have entire charge of all outdoor relief, subject to the control of the township advisory board. The trustees must settle-' with the county commissioners annually, curing the first ten days of January, for the preceding calendar year, and they must make their reports to the township advisory boards as the township law provides. There are three fragmentary laws now which provide for 'the burial of soldiers and their widows, and it is doubtful if more than one of these Is enforced. The new bill repeals all three of these laws and covers the whole subject in one section. Col. Homeland's Protest. Col. Alexander Hogeland, now stopping at the Denteon, is opposed to prize fights. Yefterday he sent the following communication to the president of the Humane Society at Cincinnati, protesting against the fight, which It is proposed to "pull off" there and which has caused so much comment : "The prise fighting ring Is the crowning disgrace of our civilization. All of your churches and schools cannot in ten years counteract its vicious tendencies and brutal Influences on the youth, especially the poor newsboys. It is certain your citizens would not permit a Spanish bull fight. Then why permit an exhibition in which the audience expects rome one to ho hurt?"

An Executive Session of the Board Held to Take Action Routine Affair si The prime question at the meeting of the school board last night was the consideration of bills affecting the board which are now pending in the Legislature. The board deemed the subject of legislation so Important that an executive session, w-as called for in the middle of the meeting and arranged its plans to ' look after its own interest in the Legislature behind closed doors. The passage of several bills now before the Legislature would mean much to the board, especially the ones relating to the payment for property annexed from the township and a change in the present system of transfers. The passage of these and other bills, the board says, would mean an outlay of thousands of, dollars. The amount necessary to pay for the property that has been annexed from the township for school purposes cannot now be calculated and may reach into the hundred thousand dollar column. The proposed system of transfers would also mean a large additional expense to the board. The particular bill the board has reference to Is the one which provides that children living outside the city shall pay but $1 a month tuition for the length of the out of town term which is six months, and as the city term is nine to ten months, three or four months would be free. At present transfer pupils are expensive acquisitions to the board and this bill would Increase Its expenses two or three fold. The board decided to instruct its attorney to make argument before the various committees in the Legislature and to guard the interests of the board in general while the Legislature is In session. FOR NEW SCHOOL HOUSE. Before the board went Into executive session a delegation of fifteen of more school patrons, representing the school district In ' tho extreme southeast part of the city, presented a request that a new school house be erected south of the Belt Railroad. It was cited that their children had to walk a mile to school to get the benefit of the higher grades. It was also said that the congestion in the schools these children attend would be relieved by locating a building in the desired district on Le Grande or Bryan avenues. A proposition to erect a new building where No. 34 now stands was also made, but the delegation strongly remonstrated against any remodeling or fixing up of the old one. The board promised to give the matter consideration. Superintendent Kendall reported that it was necessary to retain Miss Louise Wright as a substitute teacher in the Shortridge High School the remainder of the year. He also reported that William. Ballard had been assigned as a temporary substitute in the manual training department of the Manual Training High School at a salary of $30 a month. He recommended that Miss Mabel Hauk, of school No. 17, be granted a leave of absence from April 1 to Sept. 1; that Miss Laura Benedict, of school No. 12, be granted a leave of absence from Jan. 23 to Sept. 1. The assignments he reported are Miss Jesse Emery to grade 2AB, school No. 10; Miss Carrie Beggs to grade 3 AH. tchool No. 22; Miss Ethel Llndley, who has Just returned from a leave of absence, to grade 2 AB. school No. 22; Miss Kate Warren to grade 1A, school No. 23; Miss Louise Kendall to grade 3IJ and 2A. school No. 46; Miss Lucy Wilson to grade 5U and 4".V. school No. 2S. and Mls3 Mabel Null to the new, room opened In school No. 52 to accommodate the 2B pupils.

SAFETY B0AKD MEETING. 1 A Bill Sent to the Street Railway Com- . pan-City Affairs. ' The Board of Safety met yesterday afternoon and the question of the Indianapolis Street-railway Company being asked O pay for a section of fire hose destroyed by a car a few nights ago was considered. The hose cost the city $1 a foot, and the entire fifty-foot section was destroyed. Chief Barrett said the hose was about one year old, but was perfectly good. The board ordered the clerk to send a bill for $C5 to the street-railway company to pay ,for thp hose. Substitute Burris, of the fire department, was before the board for a reprimand. It was claimed that he had failed to report for duty on time. The board sent him back to work after giving him a severe lecture. Thomas N. Doyle, a substitute fireman, was promoted to the regular ranks to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Max Bishop. The board allowed the monthly bills. Appraisers Make a Report.
