Senator llruokn Opposed to u SnpciiMlou of Itulew to Panii Senator Lanier' Hill The lteult. The closing incident of yesterday's ses sion of the Senate, from the standpoint of a spectator, was probably more sensational and dramatic than anything that has oc curred during the whole session, and it all came about by the introduction of a bill by Senator Lawier. After the Senate had concluded the con sideration of the general appropriation bill the session was prolonged in order to allow those who desired to call up bills on second reading, so that they might be ready for passage to-day. No general order was observed and several senators were on their feet at the same time asking for recognition from tho chair. Finally President Gilbert recognized Senator Lawier, who had been standing quietly by his seat waiting patiently for recognition from tho chair. The senator from Washington sent up a bill and Immediately followed it with a motion to suspend the constitutional rules, so that the bill could be put upon its passage. He explained that the bill only sought to legalize the acts of the School Board of Crothersville, Jackson county, and that he realized if it was not passed at once it might as well be withdrawn. Several of Senator Lawler's fellow-Democratic senators immediately began calling "consent," but the majority members of the Senate, who some dajs ago at a caucus decided not to grant any suspension of the rules, showed a disposition to oppose Senator LaWier's request. President Gilbert, who seemed inclined to favor the motion offered by Senator Lawier, ordered the roll called for a suspension of the rules, and it then became evident that the Republicans, who had been reminded of their caucus promises by Senator IJrooks, intended to abide by the caucus at all hazards. When the roll was completed there were not enough senators who had voted to suspend the iules. The Democrats insisted on the absentees being called, and then ensued a long and tedious wait. In the meantime a number of the Republican senators tried to iersuade Senator Lrooks to give in, but without avail. When the Democrats saw that the Republicans were not going to assist Senator Lawier with his bill they hastily assembled around Senator Inman and with one accord declared that they would vote unanlmoulsy against suspension of the rules for tho passage of any bill brought up on second reading in the Senate to-day. Senator Inman. tall and menacing, stood In the center of the sixteen Democrats who surrounded him and audibly asked every one of his colleagues to abide by the caucus agreement, and just as audibly each one replied "1 will." The Republicans, knowing that Governor Durbin would decline to receive any bills after to-night, and, being cognizant of the fact that there were many bills on second reading which would require at least one Democratic vote in order to secure a suspension of the rules so that they might be passed to-day, became very much alarmed when they understood the import of tho Democratic caucus, and, notwithstanding the protests of Senator Brooks, who maintained his position to the last, hastily agreed among1 themselves to give Senator Lawier enough votes to suspend the rules and pass his bill. The roll was recalled, the rule suspended and the bill passed Just as Senator Brooks stalked from the Senate chamber. The action of the Republicans In voting for the bill partially mollified the Democrats, and it is understood that the caucus rule will not be enforced against those senators who voted with them, but several of them declared last night that the Republicans who refused to vote yesterday would be sorry for it today. Cases of IJestltntion Found. Dr. Clark, secretary of the Board of Health, and Health Officer Cramer visited several houses yesterday that are under quarantine for smallpox. Dr. Clark said he found the sanitary conditions to be very Lad. and the board will at once take steps to Improve conditions. Dr. Clark visited Mrs. Lottie McFerrin, living in the rear of 22i.7 Yandeä street, and found her to be In a dying condition She was removed to the pavilion at the City Hospital, as her condition Is very critical and she is not expected to live. He found her lying on a pile of rags and her husband, who is a mental wreck, was suffering from hunger in tho little room. He will be given attention by the board. Dr. Clark will order the contents of several of the places he visited to be burned. No new cases were reported vesterdav. but two suspected cases on Roa noke street were visited and will probably develop within a rew hours. Wnn Driven Out of Chinn. The Rev. Horace W. Houlding, for many years a missionary In central China, who was driven put of that country during the late disturbances there, will speak at the Gospel Tabernacle, at East street and Massachusetts avenue, to-day. Meetings will be held at lo:.n. 2:30 p. m. and 7:a) o'clock. He will arrive in the city from St. 1a)uIs this morning and will be the guest of the Rev. G. M. Eldridge, of Irvington. vlllustrntrd Sermons Continued. At the First Baptist Church on Sunday evening Rev. Thomas J. Villers will continue his series of six sermons on "Pilgrim's Progress from This World to the Next." The sermons are beautifully illustrated with stereoptlcon views.

MR. CREGIER'S CLAIMS

HE SAYS UK COILI) HAVE SAVED THE CITV A LA licit? SIM. Charge Made that the (inmewcll Did In Exorbitant Other Municipal Affair. N. Banks Cregier, vice president of the Municipal Signal Company, of Chicago, was in the city yesterday and criticised the Board of Safety for giving the Game well company the contract to place a new firealarm system in this city. Mr. Cregier made the claim several days ago that he could save the city at least $10,000 from the bid submitted by the Gamewell company, and he said yesterday that he would have saved the city over $20,000 had his company been given the coatract. Had he been allowed to compete, his bid would have been about $10,0, he said. Mr. Cregier claimed he would duplicate the Chicago system In Indianapolis, and thought it strange that the board would not consider his proiosition, in view of the fact that the members of the board praised tho Chicago system. Mr. Cregier said it was not surprising that the Gamewell company had asked such exorbitant prices for appliances when it was considered that the company would not care to sell appliances when it had a chance to get a big, fat contract for the entire work. Mr. Cregier said the Gamewell company will get $20,000 for boxes, and the other $12,200 wiU be used for office equipment.. He claimed St. Paul got a bid from the Gamewell company for office equipment alone for $10,ouO. Mr. Cregier said he may return to Indianapolis in a few days. . .MEI3TS "WITH I'AVOIt. Some 3IcmltrrM of the Council on Pay of Policemen. Councilman Terrott's plan to introduce an ordinance In the City Council providing for an increase in salaries of members of the police department and a few of the clerks in the city oifices is meeting with general approval in view of the fact that the Legislature has passeel a bill increasing the pay of the firemen. One of the prominent Republican members of the Council said yesterday that lie was in favor of such an ordinance. He criticised the Legislature for meddling with the affairs of the firemen. He did not believe the members of the police force should be discriminated against, and said he was willing to vote for an ordinance to increase the iolicemen's pay. It is said the members of the fire force claim they are on duty twenty-four hours a day, but the members of the police force say the firemen seldom have to leave their iirehouses, while tho policemen are on duty twelve hours and ofttn have to report at the City Court as witnesses. The policemen claim they have to spend about $100 more a year, for uniforms than the firemen and thelr'duties are just as ierilous. "Will Did on Fire HiiKine. Several representatives of manufacturers of fire engines and other fire apparatus are In the city to bid on the new apparatus to be furnished the city, according to specifications now on file at the Safety Board's office. The bids for two new fire engines will be opened by the board tomorrow morning. A representative of the Ahrens company Is In the city. He said yesterday that it is probable that the bids for the two new engines will exceed the appropriation of $1U,500 provided for that purpose. He said the board asked his company for estimates for two new engines, and the price was given at $10,500. He has since learned that the board has provided In the specifications that the engines shall be litteel with rubber tires, which means an additional cost of about $äoo each. He said the board has also asked for larger capacity engines than his company originally figured on. The engines to be bought will have a capacity of 1,100 gallons a minute, which, Mr. Ahrens says, is next to the largest engines made. FAIR GROUNDS TRACK. It Will lie l'el ly Loral Hörnernen The Premium Lit. At the meeting of the State Board of Agriculture yesterday the members visited the fair grounds to inspect the buildings and race track. After much discussion It was decided that the track should be kept in condition so that horsemen and trainers will bring their stock here for training purposes early In the season. It was feared by many that the board would lease the track to some outside concern who would conduct races, but the members feel that enough revenue can be derived to sustain the track and keep It In good condition from the local horsemen. The board decided that the speed department should offer prizes amounting to $15,W0, $7,uuo of this to be used for stake races, which will be a new feature at the state fair, and the remainder for purses. The reason the board will make a feature of stake races is that it will admit the track Into the Grand Circuit and will draw the best horses here. The members who are not experienced In racing matters thought that $15,CMJ was too large a sum to be given the speed department, but the premiums given by the board for racing does not cost it anything, as each race pays for Itself from the entry fees and the 20 per cent, taken from the winners. At the meeting which was held in the afternoon the board decided to recommend to Governor. Durbin the reappointment of W. A. I ds, of Laporte, as a, member of the'boaiv. of trustees of Purdue University. E. 11. Peed, of New Castle,, was elected general superintendent of the fair grounds. He will succeed the late Hiram Howland. Harvey Stearns was also retained to act as custodian of the grounds for another year. The premium list was revised, but the members say that there will be little chancre from last year, and it will not be made public before April. REPORT OF INVESTIGATION. Senator Agnevr'n- Ilrnft of It AVIII Be CuiiMldered To-lny.

The Senate committee which completed the investigation of the Indiana Industrial School for Girls and Woman's Prison last Wednesday night has not yet decided en the report which shall be laid before the Senatt Senator Agnew, chairman of the committee, who was authorized by the committee to draw up a report, submitted a draft yesterday to the various members of the committee, but late last night a part of the committee had not even seen it and did not know whether they would approve it or not. One member of the committee yesterday, who had made a cursory examination of. the report submitted by Senator Agnew. said there were certain portions of It of which he did not approve, but declined to state wherein he differed from Senator Agnew. The committee intended to meet yesterday afternoon in order to discuss the report, but, owing to the late session of the Senate, postponed the meeting unti' this morning. The report prepared by Senator Agnew, alter reciting that the committee has carefully inquired into the charges made against the Institution and has heard the testimony of every witness who desired to be heard, sets out'the following findings: "The charges of financial mismanagement of the said school are not in any wl.-e sustained. "The charges that the superintendent is or was addicted to the use of narcotics or intoxicants are not sustained. "The charges that the superintendent has been guilty of Improper treatment of teachers und officers are not sustained. "On the question of the charges of cruelty to inmates your committee desires lo say that there is evidence that girls and young women have been whipped; that such practice has been In vogue since th? establishment of the institution; that there were less whippings inflicted during the last few years than formerly: that during the past six or tight months the practice of whipping hai been reduced to the minimum." From these facts the report concludes a follows: t "It is the opinion of your comn

that these matters can be remedied and the moral condition and comfort of the girls be largely bettered by providing a separate institution for the girls and a separate one for the women, so that they may be entirely separated and have no communication. The two institutions ought not be under the same superintendent, and we therefore recommend that a site be purchased for each one of these Institutions and appropriate and suitable buildings erected, and that such legislation be hereafter enacted as will provide a separate superintendent and corps of officers and teachers for each institution. In our judgment, it is not necessary that they be managed by a separate board oi managers. We believe that these institutions should be managed by women exclusively. The present board of managers is almost entirely ney, one of them having boon appointed in June of It), and the other in January. Hk.i1. "The term of office of one of the managers has already expired and a successor may be appointee! at once. Our judgn.ent is that the present board of managers has instituted a better order of affairs and that the matter of changes should be left with the Governor for the present. ' MARION CLUB TICKET

TIIC ItKGlLAItS KI.HCT ALL. BUT THREE DIRECTORS. J oli ii C. Kirkwood tlie !Vev I'reslileiit Judge Leathera's High Vote Tlie Olllcltil IleMiiIt. The Marlon Club election Tuesday resulted in a victory for the regulars, as was expected. They secured the election of their whole ticket with the exception of three of the directors, who were chosen from candidates on the independent ticket. The following officers were elected: President John G. Kirkwood. First Vice President Judge James M. Leathers. Second Vice President W. A. Bogardus. Third Vice President Law son M. Harvey. Secretary licrt K. Uhl. Treasurer Tholnas A. Wynne. Directors John L. Ketcham, sr., Clinton L. Hare, John W. IJowius, Charles O. Roemler and Fred C. Gardner. The successful Independents were Clint Hare, John W. IJowius and Fred C. Gardner. In every instance, with these three exceptions, the regulars ran ahead of their ticket, and the unusual number of unscratched votes which they received is proof of the perfection of their organization. John" G. Kirkwood received 436 votes as against 219 for Merle Walker, his independent opponent. Judge James M. Leathers, the regular and simon-pure candidate for first vice president, received 5G0 votes to 124 for his opponent, John E. Shideler. This was the largest vote that any candidate received. William A. Bogardus won the place of second vice president with 4G3 votes, his opponent, Linton A. Cox, of the independent ticket, receiving 131 votes. E. S. R. Seguin, the simon-pure candidate for this office, polled CI votes. Judge Lawson M. Harvey landed the office of third vice president with 301 votes, while Albert Leap, of the independents, received 273 votes. Dr. Homer Jones, of the simon-pure ticket, trailed behind with 22 votes. Rert E. Uhl. of the regulars, administered an overwhelming defeat to Wilbur W. Dark for the position of secretary with a vote of 511 to 16G, and Thomas A. Wynne defeated A. M. Glossbrenner, the independent candidate for treasurer, by a vote of 416 to 23S. Of the directors, John L. Ketcham. sr., received the highest vote, 4TÜ, while Clint L. Hare and John W. Bowius, of the Independents, received S77 each. Charles O. Roemler, a regular, received 370 votes, and Fred C. Gardner, an Independent, 332. Leon J. Cooper, the regular candidate for ser-geant-at-arms, received a vote of 374, while Fred C. Eppert, of the Independents, polled 270, and Fred Akin, of the simon-pures, only 15 votes. Although the contest was hot while It lasted, there was no ill feeling engendered, and the members of the club feel that they have every reason to put their faith in the efficiency of the new officers. Mr. Votnw Took Clerit'a PInee. Clarence E. Votaw, chief clerk of the railway mail service, started o"ut yesterday morning to go to Sej'mour to inspect the Southern Railway, but on arriving at the Union station In this city he found that train No. 9, on the St. Louis division of the Pig Four, was one clerk short, and he accoruingiy unuenooK to mane tne run vo St. Louis in place of the absent clerk. It dees not otten occur that Mr. Votaw assumes this work, although he is perfectly competent to run on any route out of Iuelianapolls. It was reported that he failed to catch the mail at Tollgate, Ind.. because he did not get to the door In time. Arrest of C. L. llunn. C. L. Bunn, who was arrested some time ago and indicted for conspiracy to defraud, was yesterday arrested and taken in charge by federal authorities for fraudulent use of the mails. The Marion county grand jury will waive In favor of the government its right to try Bunn. Bunn is supposed to have been implicated with three other men in Louisville.
