Assistant Attorney General Moores yesterday prepared two opinions for the auditor of state, in which he holds one of the new acts of the last Legi. lit uro to be void, and an important section of another unconstitutional. The first opinion hoi, Is that Section 33 of an amended law relating to the organization of accident .aid s! k benefit insurance companies with JU.io capital is unconstitutional because the section referred to provides for the admission of foreign companies, while th title of the act does not refer to the provi.-lon. The second opinion Is to the elfect that the act of '.A, providing for the annual licensing of insurance companies Instead of the semi-annual licen.-ing of such companies, is void because the act amended a section that had already been amended in law.

"Section 2ü declares an emergency."

H. B. GATES WILL FIGHT. MuntlnuiUM 1'rueecU I iik Ajtnluat the Secretary of State. Harry B. Gates, who Is backed up by all the independent baking powder companies of the State, has determined to institute a suit at law for the purpose of having the baking-powder bill passed by the last Legislature, from which the words "bltartrate of potassium" were so mysteriously erased, published In Its original form as passed by both Houses of the General Assembly. The law firm of Jameson & Joss has been retained by the independent people and will bring a suit on the relationship of H. B. Gates against the secretary of state, asking for a writ of mandate to compel him to publish Senate bill No. 405 as it passed the Legislature. The; action will be based on the theory that the enrolled act shows by a casual inspection that it was mutilated by scratching out the words "or bitartrato of potassium" at the end of the first section, which word.? can be traced by a more careful inspection in the bill itself. The principle is the same as if the enrolled act had come to the secretary of state's office partly burned, or with several lines of it covered with ink blots that the words in the bill were Indistinguishable, in which case the secretary of state would have to restore the mutilated bill by referring to the public records contained In the documents of the House and Senate. It Is said that if the suit Is instituted it will prove a bitter fight, as all of the trust baking-powder companies will fight the case to the court of last resort. SOCIAL DEMOCRATS. They !Yomluaie n Town Ticket for Irvluetnn. The Social Democrats held a convention In the Irvington Town Hall last night and nominated the following ticket: Clerk-Charles M. 1 lecker.

I AGAINST THE VACATION

PROPERTY OWERS OBJECT TO GIVI.G I P AX ALLEY. A Delegation Also Before the Vorks Board in Interent of evv Cathedral Mun Icinal Affairs. The Board of Works, yesterday afternoon, heard several men who are for and against the proposed vacation of the first alley west of Pennsylvania street, from Fourteenth f-treet to the first alley south, and then took the matter un-ler advisement. Iiishop Chatard, of the Indianapolis diocese, petitioned tho board, a few weeks ago, to have the alley vacated, as the diocese oavns the property on both sides of the alley and desires to use the site for the erection of a handsome cathedral. A remonstrance was sent to the board, signed by nearly all the property owners In the Immediate locality, who object to the alley being vacated, and yesterday afternoon J. H. Claypool, O. B. Jameson, C. B. Lockwood, C. E. Coffin", C. F. Sayles and others appeared to remonstrate against the vacation, while Frank B. Burke, P. J. Ryan, John R. Welsh and Captain Madden were present to represent the interests of the diocese and Bishop Chatard. Mr. Ryan said -it was the intention of the Indianapolis diocese to erect a cathedral on the property, providing the alley is vacated, that will cost in the neighborhood of $200,000, and it will bo the finest church edifice in the State. He said the plans call for a handsome glass dome on the site row occupied by the alley, but if the alley Is not vacated the plans will have to be changed materially. Mr. Claypool made an objection to the alley being vacated, saying that garbage wagons would have to use Meridian and Pennsylvania streets if the alley was closed, and Mr. Coffin said it would be impossible to turn an automobile In the alley running east and west, were the north alley to be vacated. Mr. Ryan stated that he had made a personal observation for two weeks and found that the alley Is only used for huckster wagons, and also ascertained that hay wagons can make the turn from the south side of the alley to the one running east and west should the north half of the alley be vacated. Those who remonstrated against the vacation said they would compromise the matter if Bishop Chatard would be willing to give ten feet of the south side of the property of the diocese to widen the alley running east and west from fifteen feet to twenty-five feet. The board recommended that a committee of those who are remonstrating against the vacation call upon Bishop Chatard and ascertain if he will compromise the matter. BEFORE WORKS BOARD. Street Improvement Resolutions Adopted Street Car Service. The Board of Works took up the question of street improvements, under the new law, yesterday, and adopted resolutions for several improvements, including Meridian and Illinois streets, north of Fall creek. Joseph W. Smith, the Republican member of the board, was present at the meeting In the morning, for the first time since Jan. 14. The board received a petition from Nicholas McCarty and other property owners for permission to cross Harding street with a levee, for the purpose of protecting Raymond street from the encroachment of White river. A bridge is to be built across White river, at Raymond street, and part of the line of the proposed levee is in the city and part is not. The County Commissioners have given their consent to Its construction where it would be outside the city. The Board of Works referred the petition to the city engineer. A petition was filed with the 'board by thirty-five natrons of the East Michiganstreet car line asking for a division of the East Michigan street and Stockyards line. They want the East Michigan-street line to run from Keystone avenue to the Union Station, with a schedule of from eight to ten minutes, instead of eleven minutes as now. The Stockyards line would then run from Illinois and Washington street to the Stockyards. The petition was sent to the Street-railway Company. The board asked City Attorney Kern for an opinion on the petition for paving with cement the sidewalks of Northwestern avenue, from Fall creek north. Last year, when this improvement was proposed Violet Iangsdale and others secured an Injunction and tho board is desirous of securing an opinion as to whether this Injunction must be dissolved before new proceedings for the improvement can be begun. "Work nt lUvemldc Park. Tark Superintendent J. C. Power Is at work on plans for the improvements to be made at the parks this summer. The water tower to be erected at Riverside Park will be of steel, eighty feet high, with a spiral stairway around it and an observation balcony on top. The tower will be built on a bluff, giving the water a fall of 110 feet. The capacity of the tower will be 120,0jO gallons, the water to be pumped from Crooked creek. The water will be used for fountnins. ponds and sprinkling. The two suspension bridges at Riverside Park will be erected soon. Work on the new steel and stone shelter house at Garfitld Park will begin in the near future. Before this building is erected, however, the Council must appropriate for the use of the Park Board the $2,0)0 insurance money received when the old shelter house burned. Threaten to Take Action. Persons who are interested in the extension of the Columbia-avenue car line threaten to take tho matter Into the court unless the Street-car Company acts soon. The petitioners desire the line extended north on Martlndale avenue, from Nineteenth street to Twenty-fifth street. Object to n IVuinnnce. O. B. Saler and wife, C. Crlppln and wife, and several others signed a petition sent to the Board of Health, yesterday, asking that Mr. Buschong. living at the corner of Lasalle and Michigan streets, be compelled to abate a nuisance of raising hogs In his back yard. The health officers will investigate to-day. Vehicle Licenses. Saturday will be the last day to secure vehicle licenses, and after that day those who have not secured licenses will be proscuted.

GABRIEL MOYER IS ALIVE. Ibis Fact Add Mj -lory to the BrightlVOOll CllNC. The identity of the dead man found in the Brlghtv.ood yards Tuesday morning lias rot yet been clearly established, but it is thought he is IL E. Wilson, residence unknown. Yesterday the body was identified by William H. Coffinberry, cashier cf the Garret, Ind., bank, as that of Gabriel Moyer. The Identification appears, however, to be in error, for a dispatch from Bluffton, last night, stated that Moyer was In that placo yesterday calling upon junk dealers. He was shown the newspaper articles and at once called his wife by telephone tc let her know he was alive. A letter received last night from the National Rubber Company, of Dayton, O.. states that the man is un employe of that company, but the letter does not give his name. The writer t-ald his residence was unknown. The description given corresponds with that of the dead man. It was further stated that he had habitually used chloroform. The writer of the letter was solicitious about a quantity of rubber which the man was supposed to have wttli him "in sacks" and the "mayor or town marshal of Brightwood" was requested to ship all such goods at once. The dead man had letters addressed to II. E. Wilson, at Dayton. O., and at Anderson, Ind., indicating that this was hi name. The letters indicated that he was a junk dealer. There appears to be no reason for thinking the man was murdered. He met death from the use of chloroform, either taken with intent to kill or an overdose. He stopped, Friday night, at tho Enterprise Hotel, where lie registered as 11. E. Wilson. He appeared then to have plenty of money, although none was found on hl3 person. The chloroform found on him was in a bottle which came from Hornbrook's urugstnre. Snsh Weight Manufacturers. A meeting was held at the Bates House yesterday by sash-weight manufacturers of the West. The cities of Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati, -Indianapolis and Vlncennes were represented. One of the men who attended the meeting said there was no attempt to raise prices. The manufacturers met, he said, to discuss ways for maintaining the present prices. Appraisers Are at Work. Volney T. Malott and Thomas H. Spann, who were appointed appraisers to appraise the property left by General Harrison, were furnished with an inventory of personal and real property belonging to the Harrison estate; yesterday, and are now at work making the appraisement. They expect to make a report this afternoon. Dunlap'a Celebrated Data at Seaton's Hat Store. THE BIG FOUR Is the Short, Direct Route to the PanAmerican Exposition at Buffalo.
