The Honor Conferred In Recognition of Past Services A Splendid , Financial Shorrlns, The annual meeting of the board of directors of the Columbia Club was held for the purpose of electing new officers of the club and Installing the new members of tha board. Frank D. Stalnaker, George W. Bliss and Ray P. Van Camp. The following officers were unanimously chosen by the board: President, Frank W. Morrison; vice president, John L. Griffiths; treasurer, Horace E. Smith; secretary, Frank D. Stalnaker; superintendent and assistant secretary, Charles C. Rouzer. The retiring: officers are President John B. Cockrum and Treasurer Charles Latham. Resolutions were adopted commending the work of Mr. Cockrum as president and extolling him for tne admirablo way in which he had handled the club throughout Its evolution from the old to the new. Mr. Cockrum responded eloquently to the words of rralse that were given him, and expressed his determination to continue with the same zeal in working for the club. Resolutions were also adopted reprettlng the retirement of Mr. Latham, who has served as treasurer during the existente of the club, and extending him the warmest thanks for the valuable work he has done Much gratification was expressed last night among the membership of the club over Its financial rhowlng In Its operating expanses for the rirst month in its new house. The report of the house committer showed that a prortt of over x for the month of January had been made, over every possible expense, and without using any part of the funds paid in as membership dues. It is reasonable to believe that future reports will make even a better showing, as the expenses attending the openintc ofthe club were very great and out of proportion to the ordinary on account of the various functions which were given by the club at the opening of the new build-" lngr. Should the prollta be even several hundred dollars less a month there will be a surplus at the end of the year after paying all interest. Insurance, taxes and other charges, and $3,000 into the sinking fund, of nearly 1,000. The sleeping rooms of the club have proven to be a great success. They are constantly tilled, and probably as many more -would be occupied if the club had them. The new president will appoint his committees within the next day or .so. Mr. Morrison, who is a lawyer and president of the Title Guarantee Company, was elected president in recognition of his services as secretary for the past two years.

KILLED BY A TIGER

alkeiit m:ilso, nurLovn of the ZOO, SUFFERS AWFUL DEATH. He Got Into "RaJnhV Caere, lrobnbly ly Mlstukc, and lit Dody Was Horribly Mutilnted. CAUSED GREAT EXCITEMENT KECrntS AM) ATTCXDAXTS TRIED TO SAVE THE HOY'S LIFE. YounR Nellson Died Shortly After It caching the City Hospital The Funeral. "He's too much for me! He's too much for me!" said Albert Nellson, an attendant at the Zoo, yesterday morning as he gave up the fight with the ferocious Bengal tiger Rajah, whose cage door he had entered, probably by mistake, and by whom ho was at once attacked. Nellson then had his hands at the throat of the beast, which had seized his head In his great jaws and was crunching away with all the fury of his savage nature. A few moments later, after seven bullets had been fired Into the body of the tiger and he had been burned with red-hot Irons In many places, Nellson, his head torn and bleeding, was taken from the cago and sent to the City Hospital, where he died twenty minutes later without regaining consciousness. The death of Nellson at the hands of the tiger was the chief subject of conversation yesterday, and the curiosity of people to see the animal after the tragedy helped materially the attendance at the Red Men's benefit yesterday afternoon. The killing of Nellson, though taking but three or four minutes, was one of the most terrible and thrilling scenes ever witnessed In this city. Nellson, nineteen years of age, had been an attendant at the Zoo for several months. He took ;rreat interest In the daring performances and was exceedingly venturesome. Rajah was captured ten years ago In the jungles of India, and all efforts to tame him have been futile. No one connected with the Eostock shows, except Frank C. Rostock, before yesterday, ever entered his cage. Yesterday morning Nellson, who had the care of the quagga and the lion cubs as part of his duties, had cleaned the cage occupied by the cubs, entering and leaving the cage by the trap door In the rear and entering the passageway behind the circle of cages. The passageway Is quite dark, and It Is thought by most of the attaches of the Zoo that Xellson entered the tiger's cage, thinking at the time he was opening that of the quagga. Most of the attendants and trainers were at breakfast or busy In other parts of the building. No one wa3 near Nenson. SCREAMS HEARD. Suddenly the room was filled with awful screams and a number of men rushed to the cage to see the tiger striking and biting at the unfortunate lad. The screams were heard op the street and a number of men rushed In. Before any assistance could be given the tiger had grabbed Nellson's head in his jaws. Captain Bonavita, the Hon tamer, helped from the front in the rescue, while W. F. Tanner, known here as "Lorenzo" and Sam Stevenson seized iron bars and rushed to the rear, en tering the cage. The tiger paid but little attention to them or their attacks, belns fascinated by the taste and smell of Neilscn's warm blood, which was fast leaving his body through severed arteries and veins. The animal also paid no attention to the. bullets which entered his body or to the red-hot irons, and the only thing which seemed to have any effect was the blinding powder flashes when the shoes were tired. Finally he was forced to loosen his hold and Iron barriers were put up and while Tanner forced a long iron fork down the animals throat Captain Bonavita drew Ntilson's body from the cage through the door in the front of the cage.. Tanner and Stevenson then battled . with the enrageJ ardmal until they were able to back to the door and escape. The tiger after the withdrawal of his prey reared on its feet and tried to break dewn the bars of the cage. His roars and the smell of the blood excited the other animals to such an extent that it was feared some of them might break out. Captain Bonavita was in the arena with hir lions at the time of the attack. The lions became excited, smelling the blood and their trainer escaped an attack by backing to the arena gates, making a hurried exit. It was thought by some, that Neilson, whose daring had been commented upon, koked into the tiger's cage in disobedience of the rules which he well knew, though the general opinion is that he made a mistake and opened the wrong door, being at once attacked and dragged Into the cage. His body was not much torn, though there were many small scratches and cuts. Death it was said was caused by the severance of the arteries and veins of the reck when the tiger had his head in its ja vs. Hospital doctors described his Injuries, causing death, as half-decaplta-tion. Hi3 skull was pierced in a half dozen places by the animal's teeth. Is'ellson's home was In Plqua, O., where lived his sister and sweetheart. Miss Daisy Schell, who telegraphed that she would ccme here. Frank C. Bostock, who is in Buffalo, telegraphed t'.iat he would come and take charge of 'the funeral. Xellson was' a favorite about the Zoo, and Captain Bonavita was teaching him so that he might assist in his twenty lion act, which will be given at ltufxalo. CITY NEWS NOTES.

First Money Divided Between Heikes, Gilbert; Crosby nnd Marshall Local Men. Did Well. The most successful shooting tournament ever conducted by the Limited Gun Club ended yesterday with the Grand Central handicap, the main event of the three day3 tournament Fred Gilbert, of Spirit Lake, la,, carried off the first honors and was awarded the silver medal emblematic of the championship. When the last round of twenty-five birds ended four were tied for first money, having straight scores. They were Heikes, Gilbert, Crosby and Marshall. The first money, amounting to $217.51. was divided between the four men, and then the four agreed to shoot, miss and out, for the medal. Heikes dropped out on the fir3t bird. The other three men then killed twelve, and on the thirteenth round Marshall missed, Crosby's bird fell dead out of bounds and Gilbert grassed his bird. His record for the event was thirty-eight straight. The day was an ideal one for such a shoot, but the birds were a little sluggish, owing to a still atmosphere. When the shoot began at 9 o'clock there were twenty-six entries and of this number fifteen were from Indiana. Nine of the local members of tho Limited Gun Club entered the handicap to shoot against the best shooter' of the country, and four of them, Lilly, Cooper, Beck and Mullen, got inside th money. The other Indiana men to get inside the money were Neal, Vorls and Head. The members of the Limited Gun Club were congratulated by the visiting shooters and it was said that no other club In the country, outside of Chicago, ever entered as many men against the professionals. The event was for twenty-five pigeons and $25 entrance fee. divided into four moneys. The first money amounted to $217.51, divided among four men; second money, $163.12, divided among four men; third money, $103.7 divided among four men, and fourth money, $54.33, divided among five men. Beck, a local shooter, killed nineteen straight and the twentieth fell dead out of bounds. Ho lost the next and then killed the last four. George Marott's fifteenth bird fell dead out of bounds. He lost the eighteenth and the last three fell out of bounds. The men who killed straight were applauded by the other shooters when the last round was concluded. Tripp, a local shooter, scored twenty-one, four dropping dead out of bounds. The shooters were well pleased with the tournament and said they will attend the next big shoot to be given by the local club. Nearly all the visitors will leave this morning for Hot Springs to participate in a big tournament at that place. The scores yesterday were as follows: Name. Hdkp., yds. Loet. Out. Total.

HOTEL ENGLISH LEASE

A FIRM OF LOCAL CAPITALISTS JS XEGOTIAT1XG FOR. IT. In the Event that the Deal Is Con a u in in n t e U Henry S. Frotter Will Be President of Company. MANY CHANGES WILL BE MADE the rnnscxT dimxg hoom will BC GHEATLY BEAUTIFIED. Other Men Who Will He In the New Company Vow at Work on the Dcnl. The Hotel English may pass Into the hands of a new management If a deal which is now in process of negotiation docs not fall through. The story of the transaction as gathered from a gentleman who Is in a position to speak with accuracy on the subject is very Interesting. When Henry S. Fräser resigned his position with the Big Four Railroad Company a few months ago it was with tho intention of engaging in some private enterprise. In seeking for a suitable investment Mr. Fraser learned that the lease of the Hotel English would expire in two years, and being a personal friend of Capt. William E. English, owner of the entire English block on Monument place, Mr. Fraser approached Captain English to learn whether it would be agreeablo to the latter to have the lease transferred to a company headed by Mr. Fraser provided the rights of the present lessees of the big hotel could be purchased. Captain English gave his hearty assent to the proposition, it is said. Then began the negotiations looking to the purchase of the remainder of the lease from Messrs. Criley, Fiery and others who are now conducting tho hotel. It is said that Mr. Fiery was himself trying to buy out Mr. Crlley's Interest In the lease and that Jlho new project did not' at first meet with his favor. It is stated on reliable authority, however, that the present lessees have about decided to accept the offer made by Mr. Fraser and the gentlemen Interested jointly with him, and that the matter will be consummated in the next few days. The legal part of the transaction, it is said, is in the hands of the law firm of Miller, Klam & Fesler, who will also draw up the articles of Incorporation of the new company that will take over the hotel property in the event the deal is consummated. FRASER TO BE PRESIDENT. Henry S. Fraser will be the president of the new company and Clifford Arrlck, secretary and treasurer. Mr. Arrick is the son-in-law of ex-Attorney General W. II. II. Miller. With Mr. Fraser and Mr. Arrick in the new venture will be associated a wellknown hotel man of Indiana, whose name cannot be divulged at present The Intention of the new management Is to make the Hotel English one of the foremost hostelries of the country both in cuisine and furnishings. Several important changes in the location of- certain departments will be made as soon as the hotel passes into the possession of Mr. Fraser and his associates. Among these changes will be the removal of the bar from Its present location at the left of the entrance to English's Opera House to a room which will be prepared for it immediately in the rear of the present hotel office. Tho basement will bo used as a storeroom for tho surplus goods belonging to the bar. The barber shop will be removed from the basement to the new room now occupied by the billiard room. The space now utilized as a main dining room will be greatly enlarged by continuing the apartment clear through to Meridian street, which will necessitate the removal of the book store from the two rooms now occupied by It. A portion of the great room thus made will be fitted up for use as a cafe, while the remainder will be transformed into what will, it is declared, be one of the most magnificent dining rooms to be found In any hotel in this country. SCHOOL BOARD SESSION. It Was Lnrprely Devoted to Discission of Legislative Measures. The meeting of tho School Board did not begin until late last night, and when the tesslon was called to order Commissioners Sican and Sweeney were absent. Commissioner Sickles acted in tho absence of President Sloan. Superintendent Kendall reported that spelling blanks had been provided for use in the elementary schools in the grades from 1A to SA, the purpose being to afford a written record of tha children's ability to spell. He said it would be necessary to open an additional rcom in school No. 9, beginning with Monday, and recommended that school No. C2 be rated as an eleven-room building. Bills amounting to $6,137 were allowed, and 5o,0U wai transferred from the appropriation for "fuel gas" to the "coal fuel" special lund. The rest of the meeting was taken up In discussing measures pending in the Legislature relating to the welfare cf the board and public schools. Commissioner Moores, of the legislative committee, reported bills, amendments and the status of bills in which the board is interested. He said Dr. Hurty's bill, which minutely describes sanitary measures to be made compulsory in the schools, may be amended until it was agreeable to the committee. He recommended that the bii providing for the creation of a state school supply commission, whose duty would be to let contracts for all school supplies to the lowest bidder, be amended so that the provision apply only to corporations where there are no commissioned high schools, but giving such other corporations the privilege of purchasing supplies at the price ccntracted for by the commission. Mr. Moores said the House transfer bill had been amended and passed so that It is suitable to the board. This bill provides that the expenses of children transferred shall be borne by the corporation which makes the transfer. He said this is as it should be. However, the House bill Is offset by a Senate bill which provides the reversethat the corpratlon to which the child Is transferred shall pay the expense Should this bill become a law he said it will cost the city of Indianapolls $6, wo to 510.000 a year. He said he had reason to believe the House will take action on the bill that will prevent its passage and the one more acceptable be substituted. Upon the recommendation of Mr. Moores the board decided to have a bill drawn up making the school boards of corporations trustees for gifts and bequests, with u provision that only the Income of the principal thereof shall be used, and that it sha'i be applied to general educational Improvement. It Is thought this might induce more bequests for the benetU of education. An amendment to the free kindergarten bill was recommended by Mr. Moores at the suggestion of Superintendent Kendall and Director Clfland, designating that tn funds collected from the proposed taxation rhall be applied to only such kindergartens ao have twelve schools in operation. Tne bill prftvldes that the school commissioners In cities of more than 100,000 Inhabitants thall levy a tax of one cent on the Jluu for free kindergarten purposes. The board adjourned to meet Tuesday at 2 p. m. MUNICIPAL AFFAIES. Action on the (inmrwpll Contract Other Matters. Acting Mayor Johnson has advised the Board of Safety to continue Its Investigation of the Gamewell contract and not take sieedy action, as it is hoped a lower contract can be made than tho company now offers. Tho contract Is still-in the hands of Deputy City Attorney Bill. Thcra U

talk of the board or competent representatives taking a trip to other cities where the Gamewell system is Installed to ascertain if the company proposes to do as much tor Indianapolis as it has for other cities.

l'e of the Street. Peter Kretzer, president of the Central Tower Company, was before the Board of Works yesterday to show why his company should not pay for the use of streets, lie said that on one occasion, when his company projected some additions to its plant. Charles lloth. then president of the Doard of Safety, told him it was not necessary for him to petition the Iioard of Works, as he would fix the matter for him. It is said the Indianapolis Light and l'ower Company brought the matter before the Board of Works, and City Controller Johnson remarked that the Indianapolis company was paying $14,000 a year to the city for the privileges it enjoys and had a right to object to other companies using the streets without paying a revenue to the city. The board took the matter under advisement. It Is probable that, several such companies will be compelled to pay a revenue to the city for the use of the streets. Committee Held a Meeting. The special Council committee that Investigated the Consumers' Gas Trust Company met in the city clerk's office yesterday afternoon and decided to make a report to the Council next Monday night. Chairman Keller said the report had not been fully prepared, but will be ready by Monday night. THE MAENNERCH0R BALL HALL MOHR HC VI TI FI LLY DECORATED TIIAX EVER BEFORE. Thousands of Klectrlc Llftlits Vacd In the Decorations Personal and Social Aotes. Time and space seemed to be annihilated last night at Maennerchor Hall, the occasion of the annual ball masque. A fairy godmother had touched the clubhouse with her wand, and behold on the wings of invisible power one was carried into modern wonderland China. There was a masked ball announced at Maennerchor Hall, but few recognized ihe good old hall of song when they entered it. The entrance to the clubrocms was an arch of smllax, the base of which was palms and tropical plants. Rich carpets and ru?3 covered tho floors and Chinese draperies and lanterns hung about the walls. Flowers were everywhere In profusion and the approach to the stairway leading to the dance hall was erected of bamboo rods, from the projecting ends of which hung lighted Chinese lanterns. A mound of Chinese palms, smllax and blooming plants was arranged in one corner of the reception hall, torrt-.ng a pretty background for the typical Oriental scene. The dance hall represented a Chinese garden. Mr. Schlepper, the scenic artist, formerly with the Grand stock company, painted the scenery used on the walls, on which he has been at work since early In December. The wall scenery ccnslsted of Chinese landscapes executed in the peculiar Eastern effect avoidance of perspective. A pagoda, with its many-gabled roof and large guarding dragons, the Chinese national emblem, looked real enough to walk through to Ihe beautiful garden beyond. The whole Interior of tho tall, in fact, was changed, even to tho celling, where lümercus electric lights wero used, the ltgnts being shaded with Chinese lanterns. The piroach to the stage, which was to repretent one of the old Chinese residence parks. was winged on either side by huge dragons and other Chinese emblems. The background scenery to the park was a beautitul and quaint castle surrounded ty foliage and flowers. The contour of the arches beneath the gallery were outlined In red, yellow and green Incandescent lights, and the g.-.l-Icry railing was covered with Chinese drapery In harmonizing tints to correspond to the rest of the decotations. Umbrellas in which were numberless tiny incandescent lights hung about the walls, adding to the plctviesqueness of it all. There wero about 4,000 lights used in the dance hall alone. Tho grand march formed at 9 o'clock, led by the floor committee, consisting of Mr. laul H. Krauts, jr., Mr. Juilus Burkhardt, Mr. Albert Off. Mr. Frank Kotteman, Mr. Ctto Deluse, Mr. Herman F.
