MR. WILLIAMS CUTS LOOSE

Ii 12 SAYS HE WILL MAKE THE CITY'S ATTORNEYS L'MJASV. Argument Ilefore Jude Carter in the Llsht Injunction Suit John Hank Freed Other Canes. Judge Carter, of the Superior Court, yesterday heard argument on the suit of Arthur N. Dwyer against the Board of Public Works and t Mayor Taggart to enJoin them from letting a contract for furnishing light to the city under the specifications now on file in the office of the Board of Works. The contract, as advertised, is to be let July 15. Dwyer brought suit as a taxpayer, but it is understood it is on behalf of the Indianapolis Light and Tower Company. The complaint all the way through sets out that the Indianapolis Light and Tower Company Is discriminated against in favor of the Home Heating and Lighting Company in the plans and specifications prepared and filed by the Board of Works. The answer to the complaint avers that the Indianapolis Light and Power Company would not be required to construct a new plant and system if It should be the successful bld'der, as set out In the complaint, and that the reason for letting the present contract Is to enabl; the successful bidder, if it should have no plant, to install one. Deputy City Attorney Bell and John B. Elam appeared in behalf of the Board of Works and Mayor Taggart and J. E. Scott and J. G. Williams for Dwyer. Attorneys Bell, Elam and Scott spoKe yesterday, taking up the entire day, and Mr. Williams will finish the argument this morning. The deferse of the city and Board of Works as presented by Its attorneys was that the schedule submitted bv City Engineer J.eup showed the Indianapolis Light and Tower Company's conduits to be from three to live feet deep and that the company would not be required to put in a new system and plant should it be the successful bidder. It was contended by the city's attorneys that provision was made for the city to purchase the plant at the expiration of its franchise, because municipal ownership is a tendency of the age. The conlocation of tho company's conduits, should no contract be renewed, was, construed to mean that the company's ' underground work would be taken by a decision of a board of arbitration, and that the specifications do not mean that the company's private lines would be molested. Attorney Scott argued that because the specifications allow the bidder to name the duration of his proposal there Is no basis for comparison. Under this method, he said, it would be imnoelhle to determine the lowest bidder, as all the bids would not be on the same basis. lie took exception to the specifications that require all bidders to be Incorporated, and said there is nothing In the law that excludes unincorporated conearns from bidding on public contracts. Under the provisions, he said, all the bidders that are eligible are the Indianapolis Light and Power Company and the Home Heating and Lighting Cornpan v. The argument throughout was along the line of allegations set out In the complaint. Attorney Williams spoke a few minutes before court adjourned and Indicated that he would say some things about the Board of Works and the deputy city attorney that would not be pleasant. He said the Board of Works is a bodycreated to serve the people and taxpayers, and that the city attorney Is designated to as.ist the board In carrying out the purposes for which It Is established. Objections were made to some of his statements by Attorney Elam, to which Mr. Williams replied: "Just wait until to-morrow, when I get Into my argument, Mr. Bell and Mr. Elam. and I'll make you more uneasy than you are now." Jeup Explains Lijscht Contract. City Engineer Jeup said yesterday that the specifications for the new lighting contract could not apply to the Indianapolis Light and Tower Company if It were the successful bidder. He said the company could use Its present plant and there was no intention on the part of the city to prevent it doing so. He says that none of the prospective bidders on the proposed new contract has complained to him of unfairness in the specifications. One man thought that thirty days was not sufficient time In which to organize a company and thought the city should give sixty or ninety days in which to organize a company and prepare a bid. Mr. Jeup claims that this man said he would willingly take the new contract If the city would let It for twenty years, furnish public arc lighting on an all-night schedule for the same price now paid for the moonlight schedule and furnish private lighting at the light and power company's present rates and at the end of the twenty years turn the entire plant over to the city without further compensation. - JOIIX HAXKS NOT INDICTED. He Is Turned Loose by the Grand Jnry The Indictments. The grand jury submitted its report for the July session to Judge Alford, of the Criminal Court, yesterday, returning six indictment, recommending the release of four defendants, and holding over three for further investigation. Among the acquittals was that of John Banks, the colored Democratic politician, charged with attempting to bribe an election officer. He was tried and sent to the penitentiary before Judge Alford, but the Supreme Court granted a new trial. The grand jury failed to Indict him. and It is probable that the matter will now be dropped. All the witnesses before the grand jury when he was Indicted were examined, but the evidence was not considered sufficient to warrant an indictment. Five votes are required to return an indictment, and the necessary number was not in favor of Indicting him. Other releases were Floyd Carter, charged with false pretense; Foster Bailey, forgery; Henry F. Nieman, false pretense. The cases continued for further Investigation were those of John Moore, charged with receiving stolen goods; Willia Dodds and Lowell Allen, petit larceny. Indictments were returned against Robert Goldman for grand larceny and embezzlement, charged with stealing nine rugs valued at $35 and a pair of lace curtains from Francis and Fred Griggs. Thomas O'Neal was Indicted for malicious trespass, charged with maliciously breaking a desk in the office of Frank Cavender. Mahlon Wills was indicted, charged with assault and battery on Ethel Jones, of 411 Holmes avenue. Probate Court Appointments.

White and Eugene Saulcy. to appeal a case tried before Justice White to the higher courts. He says Munson obtained a judgment against him for SS In Justice

White's court and that he filed an appeal by mailing it to the Justice. He avers that Justice White held the appeal from March 7 till March 5. without taking action on it, and then returned It to him when the limitation for appeal had expired. He says a transcript has been filed and placed in the hands of Sheriff Saulcy. who threatens to levy on his property unless the judgment is paid. Haas asks that he be allowed to appeal his case and have a hearing in a higher court.

Explanations from Both Sides About Supposed Case of Smallpox. ' When the Journal of yesterday morning reached the town of RIdgeville, Ind., it created a genuine sensation in that place. Several of the prominent citizens read the story related by Dr. Hurty to a Journal reporter to the effect that a man was seen picking open smallpox pustules in tho face of a friend in front of a store in RIdgeville Monday, and at once sat down and wrote letters of Indignant denial and protest to the paper. N. W. Ferguson, a RIdgeville attorney, said the story was "the rankest falsehood that could be published." Dr. Hurty was informed last night of the stir his story had created, and that it had been denounced as untrue. "The story is absolutely true as to the Incident of a man picking smallpox pustules from another man's face in front of the general store of RIdgeville," he said. "However. I was unusually busy at the time I related It to a Journal reporter, and Inadvertently gave out the Impression that I was the doctor that witnessed the affair. As a matter of fact Dr. Bosworth. health officer of Randolph county, who lives at Winchester. Ind., is the physician that saw the Incident and ordered the men into quarantine. 1 got the story from Joseph T. Lay, one of the wealthiest men in that county, who has a large broom factory at RIdgeville. Now, if that story Is untrue Mr. Lay is responsible. I myself have no doubt of its accuracy. The way I got the story from Mr. Lay was through both of us having to wait for trains at Winchester Tuesday. We sat under a tree near the depot talking for some time, and In the course of the conversation Mr. Lay told me the story as I gave it to the Journal. He Vvas corroborated by a companion whom he called John, but whose other name I did not learn. John talked like he had seen the affair also." J. B. Hiller the Journal's RIdgeville correspondent, writes about the incident as follows: "In your Issue of July 10 appears an article relating to smallpox at RIdgeville, seemingly inspired by Dr. Hurty. Within two hours after th Journal was delivered here and our citizens had read the article referred to. Dr. Hurty was called by 'phone and denied authorship of the article. He further paid he wan not at RIdgeville on Monday branding the article as a lie, made out of whole cloth, and promised to see that the false impression would be righted through the columns of the Journal. "The facts are that on July 2 Lewis Wooters. living In the northwest part of town, appeared on the streets on his way to Dr. B. F. Freeman's ofiice, and was observed by many people who thought he had smallpox, but the doctor said it was some kind of eruptive disease. Again on the next day. July 3, he went for treatment, passing along the street, creating some excitement. "Dr. Freeman called in consultation the secretary of the local Board of Health, Dr. A. H. Farquhar, and, as a precautionary measure, had the man quarantined at his home and notified Dr. Bosworth, of Winchester, secretary of the county board, who came over and pronounced the case varioloid. Since taken on July 3 the patient has not left his home. Several persons were exposed and have notified the health officer of the fact, and as soon as symptoms appear will be promptly quarantined. "If the case should prove to be smallpox, It will likely be confined to Wooter's family, as they live In an isolated dwelling and are carefully watched, while those known to have been exposed are taking the necessary precautions prescribed by the health authorities." COLD STORAGE COMBINATION. Vi". E. Stevenson Say Prospective Buyers Must Produce the Money. W. E. Stevenson, when asked last night about the story that the cold storage plants of the country are about to bo combined and that the big establishment of the Indianapolis Cold Storage Company will likely enter the combine, said: "The truth about the matter is this. We have been approached by brokers with requests to give them options on our holdings of stock in the Indianapolis Cold Storage Company, but to all these suggestions we have replied: 'It you want to buy us out, put up your stuff.' So far this hi's not been done. Of course, if they offer our price they will get our stock." Mr. Stevenson is one of the largest local stockholders of the Indianapolis Cold Storage Company. He said that much of the stock Is held by Eastern parties, but that the plant cannot be sold without the purchase of the local holdings. The Indianapolis company is capitaliied at $.";Vi and th stock is esteemed by its owners to be worth par. The company ban prospered surprisingly, a fact that is ascribed to the admirable location of its plant, Indianapolis being a great shipping renter. It is known that the men who are forming the combination of cold storage plants realize that on account of Its superior location the Indianapolis plant must be included in order to make the combine effective. The statement is made that one of the large packing interests, either Armour or Swift. Is behind the. attempt to engineer thin combination. In case it becomes u reality, the cold storage plants of the country will b managed more economically, produce being shipped to the nearest plant instead of to a widtly diftant point, s has often been done heretofore.

TRYING TO SAVE KEITH

HIS ATTORNEY'S FILE A BRIEF IX THE SUPREME COIRT. It Is Claimed That the Lower Court Erred In Several Purtlculnrs State Will Reply. Interest In the fate of Joseph D. Keith was revived yesterday by the filing in tho Supreme Court of a brief for the condemned man by his attorneys, Charles W. Armstrong, Francis B. Posey and De Witt Q. Chappel. The case was appealed from Gibson county. Keith's attorneys allege that Jurors Amber Burry, Joslah Phar and Martin Myer took oath that they had not expressed an opinion as to the prisoner's guilt or innocence prior to their summons to become members of the Jury, when in fact they had expressed such an opinion. The brief says the Gibson Circuit Court erred in permitting the State to introduce an alleged confession of Joseph D. Keith In writing. It is also said that error was committed by the lower court in allowing Estella Hoetzel to read from her transcribed notes the testimony of certain witnesses before the grand jury. Another alleged error was' permitting Fred W. Korte to testify that certain letters were in Keith's handwriting without having the letters in hjs hands. Keith's attorneys think the lower court erred in permitting Zachariah Kiefer, Caleb Hedges and Hezeklah Greer to testify that a body they saw in a cemetery was the body of Nora Kifer, the murdered girl, when the testimony of the State was that the body was so mutilated as to be unrecognizable. It Is said that error was committed in permitting Theodore Beiling to testify that Appellant Keith and Nora Kifer occupied the same room one night in December, ly., and that they were registered as J. Smith and wife, Princeton, lnd. Another alleged error was permitting Frank C. Gore to testify that he collected $105 from Keith for Louis D. Morelock and wifa bv way of compromise of a threatened suit tor having taken Nora Kifer to Morelock's house. Keith's attorneys alleged the lower court" ought not to have allowed the introduction in evidence of a certain stone, a rope with loop, two slippers, a corset and string, a rug, bunches of hair and a lady's dress waist, because these articles were not sufficiently identified. It was also said to be error to permit Unl Hanon to testify that on the 1st day of May. 1100, after the disappearance of Nora Kifer he (Hanon) heard a woman's voice near the spot where she was last seen, begging some one not to kill her and that he also heard groans and the sound of blows on some living bodyalthough Appellant Keith offered to prove that this was when he (Keith) was five miles away. Keith s attorneys object also to the exclusion of the evidence of Rebecca Woolndge and William Clark, that between March 21 and April 5, h0 (it having been proved by the State that Nora Kifer disappeared April 3, 19o0), Clark was in the neighborhood where Nora Kifer disappeared, looking for the girl and making threats against her. The attorney general declined to express any opinion as to the strength of the brief hied for Keith. Mr. Taylor simply said that the preparation of the State's brief would begin at once. Keith was to have been executed last May, but the court granted him a stay of execution until some time after the opening of the October term of the Supreme Court, in order to allow sufficient time in which to prepare and file briefs on both sides and have an oral argument of the case. FACTS FOR HOT WEATHER THINGS TO REMEMÜER WHEN THE NEXT HEATED SPELL BEGINS. Canse and Effect of Prostrations What to Eat and Drink, and Whnt Should lie Let Alone. Fielding Mansfield, in St. Louis Republic. During my boyhood, a man experienced in astronomy and the sciences directed my attention to the fact that in very cold weather in December and January the nights were particularly cold when the moon was full, provided the skies were clear. My observations, extending over a period of forty-five years, have confirmed this condition. And my observations during the past thirty years have established another fact as to the Influence of the moon upon the temperature during the period from May 1 to Oct. 1. From the middle of the second quarter to the middle of the third quarter of the moon there Is a heated term, which reaches its highest temperature during the three or four days immediately before and immediately after the moon is full; the full moon being the culminating time for the highest temperature; provided the atmosphere is clear during the day, and provided further that, at the middle of the second quarter the moon rises between 5 and 7 o'clock p. m. I do not propose to advance any theories as to the cause of these conditions of excessive heat and cold at the times stated, because it is sufficient to announce the fact, which is conclusive to me without any theories whatever on the subject. I do not intimate that heated terms do not, or cannot, occur at other times, but I do mean to say that they always do occur at the times stated and under the conditions specified. As. of course, the heated terms may be moderate or excessive, of short or long duration, according to the prevailing atmospheric conditions within the limit of the time specified. . Experiment have) shown that the concentration cf the rays of the full moon, by means of a powerful sun glass and brought to a focus upon the bulb of a thermometer, will effect a slight rise c-f the mercury. This Indicates that the moon's rays contain some small degree of latent heat. The same experiment with the sun's rays would ignite wood or melt a piece of stone. Now, while this slightly perceptible heat of the moon's rays may be concluded to exert some influence toward increasing the temperature in daytime during the summer, this contention falls fiat when it is known that the effect of the rays of a full moon in winter intensifies the cold at night. It would appear impossible to reconcile the diametric effect of the moon upon the summer heat and winter's cold unless reference is had to the theory unwittingly suggested in one of the old fables, wherein it Is stated that two travelers met on the road on a cold day. One man blew on his hands to warm them. At dinner the same man blew on the hot soup to cool it. Whereupon the second man drove th first one from his house, saying he could have nothing to do with a man who could blow hot and cold from his mouth, which he considered dishonest. However, the facts are that th? hot breath warms the hands by direct heat, and the same hot breath blown on to the soup cools it, not as it would be cooled by adding cold water, but because the hot breath blows away from the ?oup the greater heat contained therein. The savants will have to explain on some similar theory the fact that a full moon increases the cold at night in December and January. Possibly electricity may be responsible for these conditions, but I consign the theories to the savants. EFFECTS OF PROSTRATIONS. Aside from the probability of sudden death, heat prostrations are particularly distressing, and usually are followed by complications which may interest either of the organs of the human system. The sequelae often appear late, in life in conjunction with other affections or alone, and with disastrous results. Professional men declare that heat prostrations Immediately affect and violently disturb the bruin, the heart, respiratory organs and the nerves, suspending perspiration, and are followed by complete relaxation of muscular force and a general collapse. Of course, this shock will leave Its effect always for a long period and often fcr life. This U ' especially true where the

prostration occurs with middle-aged or older persons. The effects appear to be more serious with elderly persons and with those whose habits have been Intemperate, no matter in what direction. Possibly because prior excesses have lessened the normal standard of nerve and muscular force and have reduced the reserve store of energy and vitality below the point of successful resistance to any violent shock. Sun heat in itself never induces heat prostrations with persons whose health anl general physical condition is normal. Healthy and vigorous persons perform customary labor and take moderate exercise while exposed to the rays of the sun. without being affected with heat prostration. This is also true as to those who are not accustomed to daily exposure to the sun. Heat prostration is due entirely to causes other than exposure to the sun's rays. As a matter of fact, heat prostrations often occur Indoors in factories, without exposure to the sun, and to people while walking on the shady side of the street. No laboter, wagon driver, brickmason or hooarrler was ever prostrated by heat while at work "in the sun," provided he was a temperate man. Heat prostrations occur during the heated term, and there are more cases in the beginning of the term than afterwards, because the people become frightened and begin to take care of themselves. It has been shown when these heate1 terms may be expected and when they will begin. So that If a man does not want to care for his welfare all the time he can. at least, prepare for each special visitation. Many men give over entirely smoking and drinking from June 1 to Sept. 1. Such radical departures from usual habits are neither necessary nor advisable, because violent departure? in any direction from tho customs and habits of everyday life should be avoided In hot weather. To suddenly give up the use of stimulants In the midst of a heated term re?ults In an enervating relaxation which may be more dangerous than a continuation of the use of the stimulants. If the following suggestions be observed from June 1 to Sept. 1 heat prostrations will be escaped: Sleep in a cool place and under some sort of covering, avoiding a direct draft. Retire early and sleep to as late an hour in the morning as possible. This shortens the day and materially decreases tho time of exposure to the effect of the heat. Upon rising take a sponge bath with water of an acceptable temperature, and immediately after drink cool water. The breakfast may be a hearty one, as that Is the best time to eat a heavy mealfresh eggs, hot fresh meat, alternating dally either with bacon or ham; potatoes, corn meal mush or oatmeal, sliced raw tomatoes, with olive oil and vinegar; bread and butter and one medium cup of coffee, and finish with a glass of cool water. It Is advisable to eat slowly and to drink one or more glasses of water during the meal. People seldom drink as much water as they should. TEMPERATURE OF WATER. For persons In repose the proper temperature of drinking water is from 5S to 60 degrees, and while exercising and exposed to the sun th temperature of the water drunk should never be less thin degrees. Half-gallon glass bottles filled with filtered water and placed In the Ice chet for six hours or longer will reduce the water to a temperature of 58 to &0 degrees, whicli is about the temperature of good spring water. Ice water where Ice is placed in the water In cooler has a temperature of Si degrees just two degrees above the freezing point. Ice-coled bottled water or natural spring water at V) degrees is nearly 0 per cent, warmer than ice water at its usual temperature of 31 degrees. Taking ice water into the stomach is a shock and not a stimulant. Air at 60 degrees temperate or less i3 the greatest of all stimulants, ar.d water at f-S or rt) degrees is next. It will be seen by the temperature of natural spring water, which is one of the wonderful provisions of nature, that it was never intended that man should drink water artificially reduced to a temperature much below 3) to 5S degrees. Raw tomatoes have medicinal properties very like those found in quinine, and they should be eaten In liberal quantities. Do not omit the olive oil, because. It is a product of hot climates, and its plentiful use as a e-ondiment with certain kinds of food and salads is beneficial in hot weather. In hot weather our diet and habits should approximate with experience of the p.op!e of hot countries, where heat prostrations are never experienced, because of their moderate movements and because their blood Is thinner than ours. About one and a half hours after meals It Is permissible to smoke one cigar or two pipes of tobacco, but without expectoration. As a fact, smoking at one and a half hours after a meal Induces a flow of saliva, which, if swallowed, advances and completes digestion. The use of chewing gum for twenty minutes at the same time by those who do not smoke will accomplisii the same beneficial result. Continuous smoking or chewing gum. begun directly after one meal and continued to the next, retards the proper digestion of food by the secretion of a surplus quantity of saliva at times when it Is not required. This secretion of surplus saliva, being a positive loss of an essential fluid, without a compensating conversion of food, is a dir'ct drain upon the vital forces, and as such enervates the entire system. If this process occurs in periods of excessive beat, it may be followed, after violent exercise, by a relaxation of muscular force anl energy, and even by a complete collapse a nd this is termed heat protration. but the sun heat is not responsible for it. After the smoke or gum chewing plentiful supplies of water should lo drunk. Chewing tobacco, with constant expectoration, is injurious at any and all times. WHAT TO EAT FOR El'NCH. The norriday meal should be light ami may consist of one sandwich or a small slice of cold meat, a salad and bread, with a glass of wine diluted with water or a mild toddy. Just before the noun meal a glass of apolllnaris water without ice Is refreshing, and its carbonic acid will either neutralize or dispel any gase? which may have been formed in the stomach. The supper or late dinner may be a little heavier than the meal at noon, and with it may t taken a glass of good wine diluted and plenty of water. Discard cucumbers, cabbage and watermelons during the heated term. These may be tilgt sted by certain people on mot occasions, but they have the unfortunate habit of causing indigestion at the wrong time, and that is when the weather Is hottest. Plain lemonade nweetcr.d is not a god drink for hot wt-ather. (I expect to bi jumped on for this statement.) The sugar is heating and It creates additional thirtt and the oil in the peel is positively Injurious. Lemui.ad U pre

kind of Cleanliness, but scribed for those sick with a fever to bring about profuse aersplration, and in larger quantities It has the same nauseating effect as ipecac. Never touch be-er when required to take violent exerciso while exposed to the eun in hot weather. Many persons drink beer because it ts cheap and apparently with impunity. Rut statistics establUh the fact that in most cases of severe heat prostration It was developed that the sufferer had eaten largely of cabbage or cucumbers or watermelons generally some of rach and after tilling up with beer and lighting a cigar be startetl off at a brisk pace to make up for lost time. And then when that man falls on the shady side of the street from heat prostration, which is a congestion, the occurrence Is charged wholly to the fole and direct effect of the sun and heat. As a rule alenfiol jn some form Is responsible for heat prostrations. In hot weather do everything in moderation. Avoid irritation and disagreeable contention. Walk slowly and talk Its in hot weather and you will get over more ground and without harm to yourself than by talking more and then walking fast to make up for lost time. The first Indication of approaching heat prostration is indicated by a lull pain in the head and by a stoppage of por-piratlnn. Total collapse follows shortly, provided muscular exertion be continued. When the perspiration stops, the inrson affected should at once get to a cool place, where there is a draft, nnd announce that he is about to be prostrated by beat. The outer garments should be removed at once and the affected person laid on the Moor and on the back with head raised from two to three Inches and resting upon something soft. It 1 important to prevent curious peojde crowding about the patient, for that intercepts the free circulation of air. A physician should be summoned at once. In the meantime open the shirt collar and front, turning up the sleeves as far as the elbow, or. better, tear off the shirt. Then wet the head ami sponge the face, neck, arms .and hands with odd water. Fan vigorously to increase evaporation of the moisture, which will do more than any other process to reduce temperature of the body. Refloat sponging when the moisture is about evaporated. If the patient Is able to take water give on or more glases of cold water, which tends to produce perspiration. If the patient should now perspire, stop sponging with cold water, but continue the fanning, for th progression of evaporation of sweat moisture. This process may result in entire rell.f and the person may be removed to his home by conveyance. If tho relief has not beta complete, at any rate complete collapse may possibly have bet n delayed until the coming of the physician. In any event, the presence of a physician at the earliest moisent is a necessity, for it will always be found that heat prostration or threatened pre.strntlon Is tho result of congestion. Induced by certain complications or derangement of the system, aggravated by unusual exertion or intrmpiance in very hot weather and theo require the attention of a professional mnn.
