IIU IS OPPOSED TO Tim AGM2W SHIP CANAL SCHEME. A Spirited Argument nefore the House Committee Other Interests Represented. The meeting of the House committee on cities and towns held yesterday afternoon was a rather lively event in point of argument. The committee had Senator Agnew's ship canal bill up for consideration again. This bill provides for the construction of a ship canal from Lake Michigan to the Calumet river through Lake county. Senator Agnew was before the committee and discussed the merits of his bill. He also gave his views of the lawyers who are representing the various railroad interests that are affected by the bill. The lawyers, or at least ono of them, was decidedly frank in giving his views of the proposed canal. The various railroad Interests in Lake county are objecting to the passage of the bill. They say it would cost them largo sums of money, particularly in the way of building bridges. Senator Agnew in his remarks became somewhat bitter, declaring that the attorneys who were objecting to the bill had no personal Interests in the matter; that they are mere hirelings of the railroads who dance like puppets when the bosses in New York pull the strings. Senator Agnew in referring to Representative Erdlita's attitude on the question said that that young man came to the Legislature favoring the bill, but from some unaccountable reason a change had come over the spirit of his dreams. Mr. Erdlltz, who is from Lake county, was not present to detend hi3 position. Tho committee will give him a chance to be heard to-day. Mr. Erdlltz leit tho city a day or two ago. It is said he is in Evansville. Petitions from some labor organizations of Lake county favoring the bill wero presented, and John Ii. Cockrum. representing railroad interests, declared that these petitions came from a class of men who during tho A. It. U. railway strike filled the streets of Chicago with tire and blood. Mr. Cockrum denounced the ship canal i-cheme as a' piece of vandalism and intimated that if the bill passed Senator Agncw would fall Into a fat Job, that of attorney for the enterprise. He declared it was an unusual rpectacl for a senator to introduce a bill in the Senate almost the fir?t day of the session and then follow it into the House committee and there lobby In its interest?. Smiley N. Chambers, of this city, spoke for the Chicago Terminal Transfer Railroad, which is also opposed to the bill. In speaking of the railroad interests in Lake county he showed that of the J.OvO.Ouo of taxable property in the county the railroads represent JlO.OOO.UUO. Senator Agnew said that when he drew his bill it was with a desire to present a perfectly fair measure to the Legislature. A. F. Knotts, of Hammond, who addressed the committee in the interests of Hammond and Wolf Lake harbor, expressed himself in favor of the Agnew bill and declared If the bill was not fair that the committee might make it fair and he and those interested with him would be satisfied with it if it accomplished the desired purpose. Hammond people favor the bill because they believe it will be the means of their getting Wolf Lake harbdr. Mr. Knotts declared that the estimates for the cost of this canal given out by the enemies of the scheme were much too large. Ho said that estimating1 the cost of the work at the highest figure it could be built for 20 cents a cubic yard, which would make the work cost about $531,000. MARION CLUB BALL. It Will De Given To-Nlght at the German House. Tho fifth annual dance of the Marlon Club will be given to-night at the German House. All arrangements have been completed, and there has been a great demand for tickets. The committee on entertainment expects a larger and more brilliant attendance than ever before. The first dance was given during President L. O. Rothschild's administration; and each succeeding dance has been looked forward to by the members of the club and the club's guests with pleasant anticipation. The committee decided to use the German House this year in preference to Tomlinson Hall on account of the superior accommodations and conveniences. The hall will be decorated with palms. Klausman's Orchestra, of twenty pieces, will give a concert before tho grand march. All of the late popular two-step and waltz music will be played. The grand march will be led by the club's president, Charles C. Perry, followed by the ex-presidents R. H. llryson, Floyd A. Woods, S. A. Haas. L. G. Rothschild. C. A. Bookwalter, George H. Elliott, J. W. Fesler, C. S. Wiltsle and A. R. Hovey. The entertainment committee Is composed of the following members: Charles P. Henedict, chairman; William A. Rogardus, secretary; Oran X.

THE STATE PBIS0N. Satisfactory Workings of the Parole Lnvr Reported. Secretary Butler, of the State Board of Charlies, yesterday received the report of Warden Shldelrr, of the Michigan City prison. The report shows that 10 per cent, or the prisoners who were paroled violated the parole law. This Is a very satisfactory showing. Two hundred and nlnety-threi have been paroled and twenty-nine reported unsatisfactory- Two of these were returned to th. Institution. The rercrt covers a iTlod of three years and uys that during the month of January the prisoners earneu ror inemseives Mä.m. Philharmonic String; Quartet. Tho Philharmonic String Quartet, assisted by Mr. Zumpfe, viola player, and MI.s Inez Taylor, soprano, gave a concert at the Propylaeum last night. The klze of the audience was not a compliment to the skill of the players and the artistic quality of the difficult programme rendered, but thoso present felt doubly repaid for attending. The programme included selections from Svendsen, Tschalkowsky and LMward Gries by the quartet while lilts

Taylor sang the aria "Don Carlo," by Verdi, and numbers from Rubinstein and McDowell.

A HOHE DESTROYED. Louis Ilnner, Deputy Sheriff, Suffers n Loss of 32.0O0. The home of Loui3 Bauer, deputy county sheriff, at Xo. 621 Peru avenue, was destroyed by fire last night about 11:30 o'clock. The fire started from a defective flue, and when discovered had gained such headway that there was no chance of saving the building, and bxu little of the contents was saved. The loss, covered by insurance, was about $2,000. THEY USED fl. CAMERA rOLICV 3IKX FIUGHTCXKD ALMOST OtT OF THUIR WITS. Tvro Former Runners for Lnnliam fc Ford AVrenk Vengeance ou Some of Kissel's Men. In the past two weeks the war among the various policy agents operating in this city has been waged with such energy that, on Monday, the firm of Lanhara & Ford closed its shop, due, it is said, to $1,000 in fines accruing in five wfeeks. Lanham & Ford attributed their trouble to persecution on the part of their strong rival. Kissel, who, they allege, stands hand and hand with the city administration. When Lanham & Ford el' sed their doors Monday morning the fifty, "runners" who were thrown out of employment, vowed vengeance against the Kissel crowd. After a number of conferences among the deposed "runners" It was decided, yesterday morning, that some plan of action should be adopted to break up the Kissel operations. Two of tho men formerly employed by Lanham & Ford were more incensed at the turn of affairs than the rest and they took matters into their hands in a determined manner and set out yesterday morning bent on the destruction of Kissel's game. Procuring a large-sized camera they started down Illinois street, visiting all the agents employed by Kissel, where they made what Is called in policy parlance, "a gig." meaning a 5-cent play. Several of such places on South Illinois street were visited and others on Washington street. Each time a play was made the man carrying the camera would pretend to take a photograph of the action between the man playing and tho agent, after which they would inform him that the plate then procured was to be used before the grand Jury. From all the agents thus visited a storm of abuse followed the two "ex-runners," who kept up their fun 'until they had visited fourteen agents. The men who had been worked so by the two men Immediately reported their trouble to headquarters and this seemed to frighten the persons in charge there. At the afternoon drawing it was decided to close down temporarily. During the afternoon many wild rumors were In circulation as to what action would bo taken. The two men who had worked their camera scheme during the morning looked forward to spending a night in the police station, as it soon became known to the Kissel crowd who the men were. As the two large policy games which have been run openly for some time have closed down. It now leaves but one to gather m the trade. THE LAST SESSION HELD NEW OFFICERS OF THE LINCOLN LEAGUE ELECTED. Contents for Two Places on the Tlclcet At Terre Haute Next Year The Resolutions. j The Lincoln League met in Masonic Hall at 10 o'clock yesterday morning and by noon had finished all the business of the annual convention and adjourned to meet next year at this time in Terre Haute. The principal business transacted was the. election of officers and the adoption of a set of resolutions. The only appearance of contests was in the selection of vice president and secretary. W, A. Stevens contested the office of vice president with Senator Crumbaker, of Evansville, the latter winning by a vote of 223 aralnst 214. M. Stevens was made a district vice president. II. L. Hutson'8 name was placed in nomination with that of Grant Mitchener for secretary of the league, but Mr. Hutson promptly withdrew, making . Mr. Mltchener's election unanimous. The other offices were filled as follows: President, Daniel E. Storms, of Lafayette; treasurer, Walter C. Mann, of Terre Haute. The district vice presidents are: First, Georgo D. Hellman, of Evansville; second, D. Y. Johnson, of Bedford; third, John W. Martin, of Scottsburg; fourth, W. A. Stevens, of Columbus; fifth, R. C. Minton, of Martinsville; seventh, X". J.

Dowd. of Fort Wayne; thirteenth, A. R. Beardsley, of Elkhart. The resolutions adopted by the convention paid a high tribute to the memory of Lincoln and condemned the arrogant claims of certain Democratic leaders that they are following in that great man's footsteps. The present national administration was unreservedly Indorsed; also the ccurse of the Indiana delegation in the national Senate and House of Representatives. The resolutions expressed the confidence of the league in the new state administration and members of the Legislature that have Just been Inducted into office. Concerning the late ex-Governor Mount, the resolutions said: "We, in common with all other citizens of Indiana, n ourn the loss of our late Governor James A. Mount, knowing that in his death the State has lost a distinguished statesman, his party a valued leader and his family a devoted member." The resolutions concluded with an expression of gratitude at the Important part taken In the late campaign by the league and of thanks to its officers. President Gilbert, Secretary Mitchener art ethers, for the devotion displayed by them to the best interests of the organization. Chairman Hernly and the other members of the Republican state central committee were thanked for their recognition of the league and heartily commended for their excellent work in the campaign, which resulted in tho party being led to another splendid victory. In tddltlon to the formal resolutions, an extra resolution favoring the construction of the new Indianapolis federal building from Indiana limestone was adopted. Bankruptcy Petitions.

FOR SAKE OF HARMONY

THIS AVAS THE PLEA MADE AT THE MEETING OF CRAY CLVD. Frank Baker's Resolution, Alleging Undemocratic Jlethods, Cause of a Serious Disruption. There were more pleas "for the sake of harmony" at the smoker given in the Gray Clubrooms last night than ever characterized a similar meeting in Indianapolis. But for the pleas made by the more conservative members of the club a disruption would have occurred in the ranks of the club that would never have been healed. The picas aided In letting the matter down lightly and the club Is now divided Into factions that will carry their fight a few weeks longer, giving the ringleaders of the two factions time for their grievances to become more pronounced or die out as the occasion may be. There Is little chance, however, of all the members agreeing on one point and becoming harmonious again. x The smoker was arranged to Induce the members of the club to fall in line again and, Incidentally, to collect many dues that are outstanding. The talk of the new Indiana Democratic Club had a great deal to do with the large crowd that gathered in the hall and with the warm arguments that followed. When the subject of the new club was broached Frank Baker arose and read a resolution that did not meet with the approval of all tho members present. Baker alleged, in his resolutions, that the committee appointed for the organization of the new club had overreached their authority and had "acted in an undemocratic manner." He said the committee had selected a roster of officers and board of directors for the new club without the consent of the club and before the stock was subscribed. He alleged that the whole scheme was in the hands of a "ring." and it should be broken up by all means. He said the committee should wait until the etock was subscribed and then bring the matter of officers before the club. Frank Schworer, chairman of tho meeting, was one of the men selected by the committee as a member of the board of directors of tho new club and Baker's resolutions raised his ire. He immediately declared the resolutions out of order and then a stormy time occurred in which many men were on the floor at the same time trying to get recognition from the chair, and in case they were refused they vented their wrath on those to whom they were opposed. It was during this time that the more conservative members made their pleas for the sake of harmony and John Kealing finally made a speech that moved Baker to a point where he withdrew the resolutions for a week, all for the sake of harmony as he expressed it. The meeting adjourned after U o'clock without having accomplished anything except increasing the feeling among the factions in the club. John Kealing explained that there was a misunderstanding among tho club members who did not realize that the committee selected on the formation of a new club had been given the power to ct. It was said, after the meeting, nothing was done to interest the public. ABOUT APPENDICITIS. Dr. O. S. nnnelsa Paper lief ore Homeopathic Medical Society. The Homeopathic Medical Society, at its regular meeting at the Denison last , night, heard and discussed a paper on "Further Consideration of Appendicitis," by Dr. O. S. Runnels. The paper said that not enough attention has ben paid to appendicitis and that' the profession in general would do well to carry its definition and treatment to a greater state of perfection. Ho said: "So long as 10 per cent of our mortality Is duo directly or Indirectly to appendicitis, the occasion still exists for the enlargement of our knowledge upon the subject, especially since at least eighttenths of this death rate is most assuredly avoidable." After discussing the disease and giving a diagnosis, the doctor said: "Engrave it upon the minds of all men that surgical intervention is a logical treatment for apfcndicitis, and that it should be employe! n all cases at the earliest possible moment: that all other procedures are loaded with peril to tho utmost extent and that tho only reason for its nonuse is the inability to command the tervices of a competent surgeon and the advantages of proper hospital facilities. With a good surgeon, a good environment and an appendix befora perforation or pus formation, the percentage of loss in appendectomy should be nil. This is the ideal procedure, and all should j-trive for Its attainment. The more complicated the case is allowed to become before extirpation is made, the more hazbrdous, of courae, the situation Is, but tha more necessary still Is the surgical procedure. With the .field of the operator strewn with sepsis the burdens are vastly heavier, but the chances are yet markedly better under the surgical than the expectant procedure. Once stop the pernicious quibble about the relative merits of methods and plant the fact firmly in the minds of doctors and people alike that there Is but one course to be pursued, and that the surgical, when the appendix Is in trouble, und that this course must be entered upon the Instant the disease is proclaimed, or the diagnosis of the abdominal condition ?s in doubt, and the day of death certificates occasioned by appendicitis and often miscalled typhlitis, bowel obstruction, acute bi.ious attack, typhoid fever, etc., will have Iassed. "This is no figment of the imagination or mere conjecture of an Ideal attainment, but the recitation of the conclusion arrived at by skilled operators the world over. Normal appendectomy, or any near approach thereto, is loaded with scarcely more gravity than a mere exploratory Incision of the abdominal wall, and that has been proven by all operators to be a procedure practically devoid of danger. Even with promiscuous cases, taken as they come, excluding the moribund or those utterly hopeless at the time of the operation, the percentage of loss has been reduced to a minimumless than 5 per cent. while the saving of time to the invalid by thus shortening the duration of his illness and the cancellation of all dates of its recurrence is of Incalculable value and attainable by no other method. .The removal of the suspended sentence hanging over SO per cent, of those who have ever had appendicitis the everlasting fear of it and a certainty that sooner or later it will recur with unknown virulence, is a boon larger than I can here Indicate. "Well-Informed people are always ready to do the thing necessary for their greatest safety, whether It be to flee from a burning building, to forpake a sinking ship or to free themselves from a menacing, doathladen appendix. In either Instance it is a question of when and how to do It. In tho latter dilemma it has resolved Itself into the question 'when to operate. " ARRESTED IN KANSAS CITY. Clarence Cntt and Charles Robbed Fred Deuchert. Rice Detective Lancaster left last night for Kansas City, Mo. He will return with Clarence Catt. of 8W South Missouri street, end Charles Rice, of 421 Henry street, each about' sixteen years of age. They were arrested there because of susp'cious actions enc afterward conffssed to robbing Fred Fuechert. a Junk dealer of this city, of $0So Saturday last. The boys save the names of Clarence Gordon and Charley KUey, but after much "sweating" confessed. Catt carried In a sack tlea about his waist $s73 in gold. The claim was first made that they had seen two men bury the gold near Terre Haute. George Logan, a slxteen-ytar-old boy. was arrested Sunday morning and charged with burglary and grand larceny. It being thought by the police lure that he was lmplicateu with Catt and Rice in the robbery. Sudden Ilenth of n Patient. A patient at tho Insane Hospital named Levi Kent died suddenly last night. The coroner. in his inquest, pronounced tuberculosis as the cause of death. The patient, who was a negro, was sometimes known by the name of Levi Glenn. and the cCkials of tho hospital would liku

to get into communication with his relatives if there are any in the city. Kent was committed to the asylum from this city in li'sJ. W. H. SMYTHE RESIGNS.

Two Men Appointed to Fill Ills Offlces Siii t he's Condition. William II. Smythe, who was mysteriously shot some time ago, has handed in his resignation as secretary of tho Grand Ledge of Masons, Royal Select Masons, tho Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons and the Knights Templar. The resignation was written on Feb. 11 at the suggestion of his physician, and has been accepted by the four bodies. Calvin W. Prather, of Anderson, who is a past grand master and past high priest, was appointed secretary cf the Grand Lodge, Royal Arch Masons ani lloyal Select Masons, and Jacob Smith secretary of the Knights Templar. They ara to fill out the unexpired term of Smythe. The several bodies meet in May to elect olficers. The mystery of the shooting still remains unsolved, as Smythe has refused to throw any light upon the subject. He Is now able to be up, but will not discuss the shooting. CROSBY MADE HIGH GUN SCORED 107 OUT OF A POSSIBLE 110 IN FOURTEEN EVENTS. First Dar of Grand Central Handicap a Success Handicap Event To-Morrotv The midwinter shoot, known as the fcurth annual grand central handicap tournament of the Limited Gun ' Club, opened yesterday and will continue today and to-morrow, when the Grand Central handicap will be shot. The programme yesterday consisted of fourteen events of fifteen targets each, entrance fee I1.D0. To-day's programme will be the same as yesterday. Tq-morrow will be devoted to the handicap, which will begin at 9 o'clock sharp. Tho event will be for twenty-five pigeons, $25 entrance fee and no extra charge for birds. The American Association rules will govern and the purse will be divided 40, SO, 20, 10 per cent. The entries will close with the firing of the first gun on the second round, unless unanimously extended. It is expected that there will be at least twenty-five entries in this event. A number of crack shots who were not present yesterday are expected to-day, among them being Rollo Heikes, the Dayton shooter. The shooting yesterday was very good and the day was an ideal one for such a tournament. Altogether twenty shooters participated in the fourteen events, but four or five of this number did not enter all the events. W. B. Crosby, an Illinois man, carried off the high gun, making a score of 107 out of a possible 110. He was entered in all of the events and missed but three targets. In the first two vents he missed a target in each event and then he scored 120 straight, missing one in the eleventh event. He killed straight in the last three events. Mr. Crosby's record is the best that lias ever been made on the local grounds, but is not a record for the country. There were several other high scores during the day, many, straights being scored In each of the events. There was some trouble experienced with the trap, resulting In many of the targets being broken as they were thrown. This was caused by the new "head," which was but recently placed on the trap, not being properly adjusted. In several instances three and four targets were broken as they left the trap, which caused some of the more nervous shooters to grow Impatient as they stood in position waiting for a good target. The following table shows the scores in the fourteen events shot yesterday: Cros.iy 14 14 14 U 12 11 u 13 i; 13 15 13 13 14 13 IS 13 14 15 15115 13115 13114 14 14 15jl5 15115 15 14 13 1 15 14113 15 15 15 15.15 12li 15115 14111 14 15 15 14 Fanclnf Scorn e Conner Gllbeit Court-ey IMngham Durnsides ......
