If Governor Durbln signs the bill Just passed by the Legislature providing for an increase of salaries of Indianapolis firemen an ordinance will be Introduced In the City Council at the next meetlnz of that body, on March IS, to increase the pay of the members of the police force and several other city employes In a proportionate degree. Councilman Perrott will bo the father of tho ordinance. Mr. Perrott was seen yesterday afternoon, and said the ordinance had not been prepared and nothing will be done until It la learned what action Governor Durbln will take on the Clarke bill. Mr. Perrott said he did not believe It was right for the firemen to receive an Increase In salary and the members of the police force be Ignored, lie said he will take the proper steps In the matter, however, by Introducing the ordinance in tho City Council, as that body Is vested with the power to arrange thj salaries, and he believes he will have the c'o-opcratlon of nearly every member of the Council. lie Is sincere, he ßaya. In desiring to provide means for Increasing the pay of policemen, in view of the fact that members of that department have been discriminated against In the bill passed by tho Legislature. "I think tho policemen have as much right to an Increase In salary as the members of the lire department," said Mr. Perrott, "and I will Introduce an ordinance In tho Council to authorizo a tlmllar Increase. The ordinance will also provide for an Increase In the salaries of several employes In city ofhees, who, I believe, receive very small salaries. For Instance, the bookkeeper In the city controller's otllce only receives Jl.OtO a year, which Is less than the clerk at lire headquarters will receive under the new law, and the former docs four times as much work and holds n more Important position. I have not decidel Just what increases will be recommended In the city ofllces. "The Increases to be recommended In the police department will be on tho same basis as those In the lire department. The men will be paid under a merit system, and It Is probable that there will be new oltlces created, as under tho firemen's bill. 1 will also Incorporate In the ordinance the appointment of a number of patrolmen to bring the force up to a standard such as this city needs. The trouble Is that the tire department has been receiving all tho Improvements, while tho police department has been slighted. Indianapolis needs at least llfty more policemen, and that number will probably be recommended In the ordinance." City Controller Johnson learned yesterday of Mr. Perrott's plans. He said he was not in favor of Increasing the expenses of the city at this time, but he did not think the members of the police department should be discriminated against, as they were in tho bill passed by the Legislature. He said the firemen's bill and the proposed Increase in the police department and city offices will mean an Increase of nearly $100,uuU to the pay rolls of the city annually. co.TimLLi:it's fiu tuns.

City Controller Johnson walked into the Office of the Board of Safety yesterday afternoon, and a discussion Immediately arose between Mr. Johnson and Chairman Hyde, of the board, regarding the firemen's bill Just passed by the Legislature. Mr. Johnson criticised the bill and desired to see a copy of lt. Clerk Davis took a copy from tho file rack, and Chairman Hyde feigned surprise that there had been a copy of the bill In the office and he had not known It. Ho told Davis to give him Information on such matters hereafter. Mr. Hyde still Insisted that ho was not familiar with the Clarke bill, but when Mr. Johnson cited several of the sections to which he objected Mr. Hyde showed he knew more about the bill than he cared to admit. Mr. Hydo was asked if he had not prepared a bill some weeks ag5 to be Introduced In the House of Representatives providing for an Increase in the salaries of members of the Board of Safety from $ to $2,000 a year. He admitted that he hal prepared such a bill, but when asked why he did not have It introduced he said he was told of tho firemen's bill ami held his own. He admitted that the Clarke bill was very similar to the firemen's bill, yet he criticised Clerk Davis for failing to tell him he had a copy of the Clarke bill. Mr. Johnson read the bill and then figured the cost to the city of Increasing the firemen's pay. Chairman Hyde told him not to figure on the Increase of salaries allowed members of the Board of Safety, and Mr. Johnson said: "That's right; you will have to resign and then be reappointed before you will be affected by the Increase, and the members of tho board would not take chances on resigning, as they would be afraid of not being reappointed." Mr. Johnson the; cited the section pertaining to the Increase in the pay of captains and creating tho office of lieutenant for each company, and started to figure on the basis of thirty companies. Mr. Hyde said there were only twenty-eight companies having captains, and the board has a right to say what shall be a company. Mr. Hyde then offered to bet a cigar that the city of Dayton pays more in salaries to Its firemen than Indianapolis docs. Mr. Johnson offered to make the bet a $." hat Instead of a cigar, but Mr. Hyde paid he did not have the money to bet a hat. Mr. Johnson approximated the increase of salaries to the firemen under the Clarke bill at Ito.Stt.riO annually. The Increases are as follows: First assistant chief $300.00 Second assistant chief "ot).uu Supt. fire alarm telegraph Cixhoo Asst.

ANNIE.BELL'S COMPLAINT sun ;i.ia;i:s iiiamv Hamilton AVITH I'AILlXtn TO MAIIIIY 1IUU. She AIho A Ueno that 11c Took $2.0 of Her Money Hamilton Arrested in This City. Upon complaint of Miss Annie Bell, a nur?e, Frank Hamilton, also a nurse, was arrested yesterday by Detectives Splan and Haley and charged with grand larceny. Miss Bell claims he got $2T0 belonging to her. Her 5tory of tho case was in substance that he hnd secured her confidence, secured her promise to marry him, secured possession of her purse, containing all of her money, and then deserted her, taking the money while she was at the Union Station waiting to take a train for Chicago, where they were to be married. Their acquaintance, It seems, began at Dr. Sterne' sanatorium, whero Hamilton had been employed about a year. Miss Bell was a hard-working young woman and went there about four months ago. Two yea fs ago a legacy of $x) came into her possession upon the death of an elderly man to whom she had given much attention. Hamilton, she claimed, had devoted himself to her and a Fhort time ago she promised to marry him. Thursday last she left the sanatorium and they were to go to Chicago Friday to be married. Hamilton accompanied her during a shopping tour and then th? trip was postponed until Saturday on account of tho alleged sickness of Hamilton's sister. Saturday afternoon they went to the Union Station, where her trunk was checked, and Hamilton, who, she claimed, had the custody of her purse, went to buy the tickets. She waited until train time and he did not return. Thinking after a further delay that something was wrong she reported tho matter to tho city detectives. Hamilton had lived for some days at 210 North Capitol avenue, and the landlady told the detectives that yesterday morning he had packed his trunk and called a carrlaj,'. He was traced to the home of his fister at 907 Fast Eleventh strebet. A messenger boy was sent with a decoy letter, which was received by Hamilton. The detectives then went to the house and placed him under arrest. It was also learned that he was preparing to go to Denver, where his brother, formerly a resident of this city, is practicing dentistry. Hamilton denied the charge of theft. He offered no excuses for the manner in which he had further postponed the marriage. Dr. Sterne said last night that Hamilton had been discharged about a month ago for what was considered good cause. Miss Bell went Saturtlay night to the home of a family on North New Jersey street which has taken much interest in her. Yesterday her watch, which she also claimed Hamilton had in his possession, was returned to her by messender without word as to the Fender. Miss Bell is said by those well acquainted with her to be a most estimable young woman. EIGHT NEGROES ARRESTED. Caught in n Stable nml Charged ivlth l'ollcy 11 j Inc. Detectives Holtz and Morgan yesterday arrested Robert Duncan, Los Seaton, William Randolph, "William Webb, J. J. Faulkner, Lon Strange, Silas Hall and Frank Hurt, all colored, who were charged with engaging In a policy game. The men were found In a stable In the rear of Duncan's home, at Blake and Hadley streets, after the detectives frightened a "lookout" Into disappearing without giving notice of their approach. All of the men had the regulation policy slips in their pockets, ami upon seeing the detectives each man tried to tear beyond recognition the slips in his possession. All were taken to police headquarters on street cars and were soon released on bonds furnished by J. W. Reynolds, a grocer on Blake street. All were supplied with money. The stable where the men were arrested is said to have been a rendezvous for year or more. CLOSES WITH A BANQUET. Members of the Photographic Art Lengue Knjoy Themselves. The Indiana Photographie Art League closed Its semi-annual convention with a banquet at the Bates last night. Adam Helmberger, of New Albany, acted as toastmaster, ami the programme was so lengthy that most of the members present responded or made short talks.

TAGGART'S MAN FRIDAY

m:lso j. hydh tem.s if his cLosnxnss to thi: mayoii. He Forced Him to Answer Duty' Call nt the Lnut Convention Mr, Hyde's Utvn l'rcjmrerineaa. As the time draws near for the nominating of a man for mayor to succeed Mr. Taggart, the discussion as to available timber is increasing among the mayor's followers. Within the last few days, since Nelson J. Hyde has been brought into particular prominence by reason of his position as chairman of the Board of Safety, hi:, name has been heard quite extensively as being a fit man for Mr. Taggart's shoes. Ills friends cite several things In his favor, among them beirg the able manner in which he succeeded in giving the Gamewell Company a contract for $G2.2uO, and also his adroitness In encouraging the bill just passed by the Legislature, which gives the firemen and, likewise, himself, an Increase of'salary at the small cost of 110,000 annually to the taxpayers. But It Is not alone these things that make him, in the minds of some, the proper successor of the mayor. It is whispered about that he is very close to the mayor, and this is regarded as an important point In his favor by his Democratic friends. In fact, Mr. Hyde, himself says he is close to the mayor. To use his exact words ho said, the other day: "I am closer to Mayor Taggart than any other man in Indianapolis." The occasion for this outburst of confidence was when the members of the board, in an interval from their arduous labors, lost themselves in a dreary discussion of the last city campaign and some one was talking aimlessly about the possibilities of Mayor Taggart being again nominated this fall. Then it was that Mr. Hyde placed his gold-rlmmcd glasses aslant his nose and. tilting back in his chair, with a far-away look In his eyes und tho smoke pouring from his cigar made hla unique declaration. He said: "I am closer to Mayor Taggart than any other man in Indianapolis. No man Is greater than his party and If the Democrats desire Mr. Taggart to be a candidate again this fall he must accept. One day before the last city Democratic convention I was riding with Mr. Taggart in his carriage and I told him. 'Tom, you must not think of deelinlr.g the nomination again for the mayoralty. When you wanted the nomination for county auditor the Democrats gave it to you and you were elected. And w hen you wanted a renomlnation for the same otllce you were given it. And later, when you entered city politics and desired to be mayor of Indianapolis the Democrats gave you what you wanted and also gave you a second term. " At this point in the narrative of how "Tom" came to allow himself to be mayor a third time the chairman of the board straightened himself up and became impressive. " 'No, Tom; the party has always given you what you wanted and it is the party's time to ask something in return. You must not think of refusing to accept the nomination for mayor, as we are determined you' shall be the man.' I knew that Tom would not think of elecllning after the conversation I had with him on that day." The others present, and there were three or four, including a reporter, batted their eyes and listened spellbound. The reporter then ventured to ask Mr. Hyde ns to the coming campaign, but he readjusted his glasses, puffed, at his cigar, and refused to commit himself further. WELL-KNOWN INDIANA MAN. George Ade AYrlte to Col. "Wilson About John T. McCutcheon. Col. Charles 1Z. Wilson, secretary to the Governor, received an interesting letter yesterday concerning the condition of John T. McCutcheon, cartoonist of the Chicago Record. Mr. McCutcheon is very well known In Indiana, being a native of Lafayette, where his mother and brother George still reside. Mrs. McCutcheon is now with her son at Ashevllle, N. C, whero he was taken in the hope that the climate would expedite his recovery. The letter received by Colonel Wilson was written by George Ade, another Indiana boy who has become noted In the field of literature, and who was a schoolmate of Mr. McCutcheon. Mr. Ade says that Mr. McCutcheon is suffering from .a complication of troubles that followed his attack of pneumonia, and that his strength has been seriously sapped, although he is showing considerable improvement under tho healthful climate of Ashevllle. He says: "Mac was pleased to know that you remembered him and that Governor and Mrs. Durbln had been good enough to Inquire about him." Near the eml of his letter he perpetrates a characteristic "Adeism," as follows: "I would have been in Indianapolis last month had it not been lor Mae's illness. A number of your fellow-citizens asked me to drop in, and some day I am going to fool them and do it." Mr. McCutcheon, who is the one referreel to in Mr. Ade's letter by the nickname "Mac," has had nn interesting newspaper career. He was invited to become a member of the official party making the now famous cruise around the world on the revenue cutter McCulloch. By a most fortunate accident he happened to be In Manila bay when the great battle took place, and, as he was the only artist on the spot, was enabled to furnish the Chicago Record with a series of remarkable photographs of the Dewey engagement and an equally remarkable and graphic account of the affair, to say nothing of adding tremendously to his own prestige. The tolls on the dispatch sent by Mr. McCutcheon to his paper amounted to something like JW. By a curious coincidence Mr. MeCutcheon's life-long friend, George Ade, was the fortunate victim of a somewhat similar accident. When the Empress of Austria was fatally stubbed by an assassin Mr. Ade was, by a fortuitous combination of circumstances, in the city In which tho sorrowful event occurred and was an eyewitness to the affair. He, too, was ab'.e to supply a story to his paper that was in the nature of a "beat." CHARLESTON EXPOSITION. George II. Aubrey ow In the City In 1U Interest. Governor Durbln received a visit yesterday afternoon from George II. Aubrey, special commissioner of the Charleston (S. C.) Interstate and West Indian exposition, for which Senator Tillman recently sitlon. Mr. Aubrey is a fine-looking jnan and an e.isy, graceful, entertaining talker. He fame to Indianapolis from Cincinnati, ami Intends to make an extensive tour of large cities of the North, lib purpose Is to try to interest cities and States In the exposition, in order to persuade them to provide lor representation at the affair. He stated last night that Philadelphia. Baltimore. New York and the States of Pennsylvania, Rhode Island. Massachusetts. Connecticut, Missouri, Arkansas, Utah and Colorado, in addition to most jf the South era States, have arranged to be represented In fome adeeniate form at the exposition "I am sorry I did not get here earlier in the session of your Legislature, said Mr Aubrey. "I think It would have ben a good tiling for Indiana to have been reprc tented at this exposition. South Carolira U:-cs a good many Indiana products and i3 getting to use mote and more of them nil the time. I think we take most of your surplus mules. I don t know what ho conies of all the mules you ship to South Carolina, for I have never seen a tiead one yt. Cities and States in the North will da v. ell to let the South find out about their resources, for the South is progressing In development in every ulrection. We South erners are getting more money each year with which to buy outsldo produe-ts. and our trade Is worth going after, In my opinion. We were anxious to have Indiana represente! in a respectable manner as a Statu at our exposition, bat it stems out or the question now." MIm Lrmuu Snnir in Chlcaco. A telegram was received from John II Stem, last night, which will bo of interest to friends of Miss Marguerite Lemon, tho former Indianapolis girl, who is to bo tha

soloist of the Thomas concert, in English's Opera House, next Monday night, under the direction of Mr. Stem. Knowing that Miss' Lemon was to sing In Chicago, yesterday afternoon, with the Thomas Orchestra. Mr. Stem went to that city In order to hear the young woman sing. His dispatch is brief but to the point. It pays: "Miss Marguerite Lemon sang with Thoma Orchestra in Auditorium this aftcrneon. Her voice is tine and completely filled the large hall. Indianapolis music-lovers may expect a treat In her appearance next Monday night." PLANS TOR STATE BANK.

Ramsey, of Crawfordsville, are capitalists said to be promoting a new national bank for this city. It is said the arrangements for opening tho bank about May 1 have been practically completed and tho board of directors will be announced soon. It was said last night that the above-named gentlemen will be associated with the present stockholders of the State Bank of Indiana, and that this institution will be converted into a national bank.

FIERCE VOTING CONTEST IlESI'LT OF MAIIIOX CLI U ELECTION SOT DEFINITELY KXOWX, The Connt 'Will lie Completed About ,G o'clock Till MoruiiiR Sucvenn of HeKulnra." The polls at the Marion Club election yesterday opened promptly at 2 o'clock, and by 4 o'clock 2J3 votes had been cast. After the dinner hour In the evening many business men who are members of the club came down to vote, and the rooms were crowded until 9 o'clock, when the polls were closed. Every candidate was active, and as the prospective voter entered the door a dozen hands w ere laid upon him and cards announcing the candidacies of numerous persons were stuck into his hatband or under his coat collar. Although the weath er was biting cold a number of the "regulars' were out in the yard in order that they might get In the first word., The developments of the last few hours of the fight brought forth several new features in the way of advertising matter. The most noteworthy of these were the cards which A. M. Glossbrenner, candidate on the "independent" ticket, issued to offsat the effect of Tom Wynne's automobile cartoon. In the foreground is the picture of a goat hurtling through space, while in the background is the likeness of a de molished automobile. Around the be.rder is this legend: "I've punctured the tire and put out the lights of the automobile. I'm here first, the liveliest corpse you ever saw." This cartoon created much amuse ment and its author was duly congratulated. Alter the noils had closed It was con ceded that the "regulars" had elected the majority of their ticket. It i3 probable that two or three of this ticket were aeieatea, but there was no definite sentiment as to who these would be. There was an un usual amount of scratching, and as 613 votes were cast the count will not De completed until some time this morning. AVnddell Hn Another Dream. F. C.
