The testimony of men who cialmtd they were shaved by Tanzy at the time in question proved on alibi for the accused, said Mr. McMillin, of the Irani, last night.

Tanzy accosted Irva Morrow on Capitol avenue, near Twenty-eighth street, on th uay lollo.ving last Thanksgiving, we find 'ianzy u.t guilty. It was shown by the testimony of Mhs Morrow, who n not corroborated In any way, that upon the evening of that dav. but before rVitlr oitd man spoke to iwr upon Capitol ave- ' iwi'.uy-iigniii streor, sjying that i.e Frank McClnnis desired tu taik to r over the telephone. 15y her statement : U .-hown that. she walked with the colored man for a distance of four squares while it was yet daylight and left him on tne corner of Illinois and Thirty-sec-e:i! streets, opposite her homo; thar the ta id colored mun took the Illinois street car at said placo and wont south. Although Mlis Morrow hr-.l known the said Junzy for several months prior to said time she was not able to icjgnize the i::nn who walked with her for the distance of the said four square-,, as shown by the 'fact that some tim? later, when on a street car in company with her aunt, i-he saw Tanzy and was not until then iure that he was the person that ha i ti okon to her.

"We. therefore, find that the said Benjamin W. Tanzy is not guilty of any of said charges, and order that he be reinstated as a member of the police force of thcity of Indianapolis." Hlka nuy n Home.

"The postoflice department in the last J ten years," said Mr. Shideier, "has surprised the postmaster generals and the postmasters all over the country on account of the rapid increase in postal busness." Postmaster McGinnls said yesterday that the receipts for the business year just about closing are especially gratifying 1 him from the fact that he thinks he will be able to better the service. He believes that the business of the office will now Justify an additional stamp clerk, which will mean an additional stamp window, and also another general delivery window. Y. M. C. A.

The Commercial Travelers' Club entertained its members and a number of out-of-town guests last night with an informal smoker. The whole evening was devoted to cards and good cigars. No speeches were made, but the guests were delightfully entertained with the card tricks of Tom Arnold and demonstrations of ventriloquism by Bert Cox, both of this city. Another feature of the evening's entertainment was the introduction of "Carrie Nation" to the out-of-town guests and her subsequent initiation, which made her a member of the order. The strangers present were Informed that "Carrie Nation'' woidd be present during the evening nnd had been invited to the rooms in the second story of the club, where, it was said, she would entertain. fter waiting for an hour or more sundry loud kneckings and bumping were heard on the stairs, leading one ot the guests to exclaim that she had come with her hatchet. And then, after a last struggle, the baby elephant from the Zoo was ushered into the room. The Joke was creeled with screams of laughter, which more than repaid the perpetrators of the affair for their herculean efforts in getting the elephant no tne stairs. MR. BOSTOCK'S PLANS.

THE LAW MISUNDERSTOOD

SO.Hi: LIGHT OX IT nv ASSISTANT attor.m;y giixbkal moohus. Foreign Corporation Will ot Suffer, un They Seem' to Think 11 ov They Will lie Benefited. The foreign-corporation act passed by th-j last Legislature seems not only to be misunderstood, but 1 causing the foreign corporations doing business in this Slate great apprehension. A tlood of inquiries have been received concerning the law by the secretary of state and attorney general, and the latter intends to prepare an opinion J-ooii which will char up all of the uncertainties regarding the new law. The law provides that all foreign corporations shall appoint an agent, with an office in Indiana, and that this ag'nt shall file with the secretary of state a copy of his company's articles of incorporation or of lis certificate. The law also provides that with the articles there shall b fled a bworn statement showing the amount of the company's capital stock represented ,n Indiana business, and on this the sam-2 rales shall be charged as on domestic corporations. Assistant Attorney General Moores, in speaking of the law, said that while it would mean a good many thousands of dollars to th- State in fees, yet he could see no reason for the manifest apprehension of foreign corporations, as the law would prove of inestimable benelit to them. Under the provisions of the act, Mr. Moor?s says, a foreign corporation is only required to have a nominal agent in the State, and any lawyer would be glad to serve fur nothing, using his ollice as the oflice of the company. Under the old law a corporation could bo sued in any county in the fetate in which it had a deotor, causing the corporation endless trouble, there being ili the corporation did "not know it had been sued uiuil the time had elapsed when it couiu appeal its case or have the judgment set asiu But under the present law the corporation can only be sued through its agent, and the latter can always be trusted to notify the company of any suit that may be hied against it. Ine (Uestior, ot fees which a foreign corporation will be required to pay amounts to almost nothing. Tue rates are the same as charged against a domestic company, viz.: $1 on euch $1,000 of the capital stock represented in the State. Wry lew of the foreign corporations eloing business in this State have a capital stock to exceed $100,000. Assuming that they do as much business in each of the other forty-rive States of the Union as they do in Indiana the corporations having a capital stock of $h,VX) could only be charged on a little over $2.0 of their capital stock in this State. The fees would therefore amount to but a trille over $2. The fees are not paid annually, the rirst payment standing for all time. There are, however, a number of the large trusts which do business in the State, but as the amount of capital stock represented by each company in the State would tC. Drillhirl idTU'll üf cnrillmr tu t llu Ituctnucj M . v V Ul 11 II I 1 1 7 liiv i r i 1 1 J done the amount would be very small when compared to their aggregate capitalization. Among the large corporations doing business in the State are the American Sugar Refining Company, the United States Steel Company, Ameilcan Tobacco Company, the General Kleetrie Company, International I'aper Company, the National Bead Company, the United States Leather Company, the American Spirits Company, the Starularel Rope and Twine Company and others. IN HONOR OF URS. WALLACE A Call for a Munm Meeting to lie Held on April 1. The following call has been Issued for a mass meeting in honor of Mrs. Zerelua G. Wallace: "In view of the lo?s sustained by the community at large in the leeent death of Mrs. Zerelda G. Wallace, it seems fitting that the women of the city, in which she lived for more than fifty years and in which tho beneficent effects of her life have been enjoyed, should assemble themselves together to do homage to her memory; to contemplate the qualities which in her were so admirable and to take coum-el with one another as to the vay in which the useful activities r her Hie may be emulated, the memory of them perpetuated, and their inlluence so emphasized upon the attention of the community that even her death may sive an impetus to the causes which she cherished. "It is well known that the first public work done by Mrs. Wallace was in behalf of temperance; that through this work she became an advocate of woman's: suffrage. In her public aeldresses hardly more than in her private conversation were the strength of her mind, the soundness of her methods of thought, and the seriousness of her mental habits demonstrated. Before her public work began, during her public service to the two reforms named and after her retirement from such service she was unfailing in the discharge of every duty, and in the enjoyment of every pleasure belonging to private, domestic life. "Therefore it seems fitting that not only the advocates of prohibition and the sympathisers with women's political enfranchisement, but also nil women who revere the qualities that make domestic life beautiful and all who appreciate intellectual strength and the conscientious use of intellectual powers and of spiritual gifts, should fee! themselves appealed to through this invitation. "The meeting will be held in the assembly hall of the Fropylaeum on the afternoon of Thursday, April 4. The eioors will be opened ut half past 2 o'clock; the meeting will begin promptly nt 3 o'clock." The call Is signed in behalf of the committee Jn charge by May Wright Sewall, chairman; Lutlla F. McWhirter, for the State W. C. T. IT.; Martha L. Gipe. for the Marion County W. C. T. U.; Margaret K. Welling, for the Meridian W. C. T. 17.; Ada B. Leek, for the Frances F. Willartl W. C. T.

Dr. lltirly Return from Ohio nnd Svl Uerlunil Counties. According to the statements of Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the State Board of Health, there is a worse epidemic of smallpox raging in certain parts of the State than was ever before known. The doctor returned late last night from a three days visit to Ohio and Switzerland counties, where he was called to investigate some supposed cases of chickerpox, and made the statement that there were in those two counties alone more than two hundred cases of fully developed smallpox. The disease, he raid, was raging in a mild form, but there 'were many serious cases. Altogether, the doctor said, there had been in that immediate vicinity more than four hundred cases of the disease, and. though no deaths had resulted, there were muiv serious cases which would leave some bad effect. As soon as Dr. Hurty tliagnosed the disease to be smallpox the local health authorities in Switzerland and Ohio counties immediately took steps to quarantine the infected districts, and when the doctor left it was confidently hoped that the epidemic would be checked. Dr. Hurty expressed grave fear! last night that the disease might break out in Indianapolis. Las: Thursday, he said, a man broken out with the disease, who was under quarantine in Switzerland county, escaped from the gur.rds and has not been heard of since. It is known, however, that the man came to Indianapolis, and h? is supposed to be in hiding in this city at the present time. Dr. Hurty said he Intended to notify the City Board of Health at once, and every effort would be made to lind the man before he had time to spread the disease all over the city. Xetr AocinIon. The Chicago Automatic Seat Company, of Indianapolis, was Incorporated j-ester-day with a capital stock of $10.000. The director are William W. Edge, Charles K. Anderson and Martha M. Coate. The Petersburg Water Company, of Petersburg, was incorporated with a capital

stock of SlO.noo. The directors are Samuel V. I'errott. Henry C. Clen, Jr., and Albert G. Perrott. The Archer-Vernon-Sprague Company or Fort Wayne, increased its capital stock to ,0o0.

LEXINGTON CONFERENCE. Rev. II. 1. Jone Diftrusften I'haaeii of the egro Problem. The Rev. H. K. Jones, business manager of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, delivered the address at last night's meetef the Lexington Conference, at Simpson Chapel. Speaking of the general conditions of all races he said this is the best day the vor!d has ever seen. "There has been a revolution in Christianity." he said, "and the church has gone out and developed as there has been progress in civilization. I do not believe we could adhere to the old teachings and metroes and apply them successfully to the conditions of today. The church must cope with modern Ideas of life. What the church must do to-day is to not depend solely upon song, prayer and communion, but develop along all lines---slng out in Jesus' name, talk in Jesus' name, mako, money in Jesus name. I do not believe it Is sinful to get rich; it takes intellect to get rich." The Itev. Jones then said the church is not what it should be, and the lack of proper teaching has led to the organization of church auxiliaries and branch associations for he specific purpose for which the church is intended to develop a Christian lif?. The minister talked at length about the paper he manages, and said: "This Is a day of intelligence. The church has found that If you would make Christian character you must supply literature to get the mind in the right trend." In his discourse the Rev. Jones vigorously defended the negro race. During the conference a minister stated from the pulpit that many negroes in the South would sing ami pray and then go out anel steal chickens. This statement the Rev. Jones denounced as "an Infamous lie." nnd added: "I do not believe our people are all going to the devil." He said there are batl colored people and good colored people, and out of the So.OuO negroes in New Orleans, he said statistics showed that 90 per cent, of them were sober, industrious, goed citizens, und equal In morality to the wnite man. He said there are first and second class negro'. s, and the better class demand the same respect for their women from white men as the white men do for their women from the negroes, and continued: "White men who intrude upon the negro home must share the same fate as the negro who Intrudes upon the white homo." There is a strange hypocrisy practiced by white men, the Rev. Jones said, in speaking of e-onditions in the South. This was In reference to tho mingling of races in the South, particularly before tho war. "There is a certain class of men," he said, "who hate a negro in the day time my, how they hate a negro in daylight but at night " He did not finish the sentence am. dropped the subject. Regarding lynching he said he was not at all alarmed as he was sure the problem will be solved and right will win. But speaking on the subject he said: "A Constitution that can protect a man In foreign lands and can't protect him at home is weak." At yesterday's session it was decided to hold the next conference at Mount Zlon, Walnut Hills, Cincinnati. The Rev. J. E. Warren was given a certificate of his or dination by the officers of the Laymen's Association yesterday morning, to allow him to join the M. E. Zlon Church. J. M. Washington, president of the Laymen's Association, presented a set of resolutions pledging the association's support to the conference, and declaring Its purpose to maintain a permanent organization. Dr. Benjamin Payne, a native of Africa, who was eelucated in this country, elelivered an address in the afternoon at the celebration of the anniversary of the Sunday School Union, Tract and Education Society. To-day the ministers attending the conference will preach In the various colored churches and some ef the white churches. The ministerial appointments will not be made until to-morrow morning. HARD PUSHED FOR $3.50. The Vouiik Dcmocrntn Met with Obtneles in Raining Money. The committee having in charge the arrangements for the Jeffersonian celebration, which occurs at Masonic Hall on next Tuesday evening, met at the Grand Hotel last night for tho purpose of completing its plans for the event. The committee is composed entirely of the younger Demo crats of the city anel each member present last night seemed to be enthusiastically interested in the coming celebration. The arrangements for the celebration, to Judge from the remarks of those present la3t night, had been practically completed some time ago, and about the only thing left to de was the- sending out of several hundred notices of the event. Just how this was to be accomplished those present could not understand. According to the statemer t of one member It would require Just $3.50 to do the trick, but the question, which grew more and more portentous, was wh.re the $3.50 was coming from. It seemed tdat all the members had been out doing their best to solicit the required amount from the supposed, party leaders, but each had returned empty-handed. During the discussion of the matter several very interesting things were said about the open-hearted manner in which he supposed leaders had helped the boys out. One young Democrat, who seemed to be a leader among his fellows, said in a very bold and determined way that the young Democracy of the city would remember a few things and try to pay off their debts with Interest. "It's a d shame." said ho, "that those lobs who have been supported in office for the last ten years by the Democratic party won't give us a cent to celebrate the memory of the greatest Democrat that ever lived. Some of them over there in the courthouse are getting $5,000 a year, and yet they are no more account to tho party than a yellow dog." The aforesaid sentiments seemed to meet with the approval of every man present, and when the same young man loudly declared "that that kind of people made him sick" and that it was "time the party was getting rid of them" no one present suggested anything to the contrary. The matter was finally settled by the aggressive young man putting up the S3.S0 out of his own clothes, which, ho hwoie by all that wasn't holy, ho would get back from the "leeches"' if he had to dun every one of them personally. GLASS FACTORIES TO CLOSE. Tbl Year They AYI1I Shut Down Earlier Than L'unl. Information reached Indianapolis last night of an Important decision that was made at a conference last Thursday and Friday at Atlantic City of the Jobbers' Association, directors of the American Window Glass Company, and representatives of the Independent factories. After a protracted dlscuslon of tho matter, these men reached an agreement to close down all window glass factories in the United States on May 11. more than two weeks earlier than these factories have been closed for the summer season heretofore. It was also decided to keep the factories shut down, or the "pots" cold, to use the technical expression employed by glass men. much later thi fall than usual. The reason given for this decision is that sufllcient window glass has now bttn manufactured to supply the trade until the time in the fall when the factories will be reopened. The glasj trust and the independent factories are declared to work with a common understanding to the extent that they keep close track of the output of window glass and do not allow any more to be made than will supply the trade. It is said that they figure this amount to almost within a window pane. In this way the cost of making and disposing of glass Is reduced to the minimum and tae profits are correspondingly Increased.
