IS AFTER TAGCARTISM

CHARLES A. nnOKAV ALTER OPENS THE It ni.lCAX CAMPAIGN. The Financial Policy of the City Ad. ministration Analyzed and Deduction Made. PRESENT CONDITION OF CITY i:iKOHT MADE II COXCKAI. Tltll SITUATION FROM PEOPLE. Some Attention Pnll to Mayor ThkK.nrt'n Latest Menange Campaign Openlnis Other Speechen. The Republicans formally opened the city campaign at a large and enthusiastic meeting given under the auspice of the East End Republican Club last night. Nearly all of the candidates were present, and a number of them made speeches outlining the party policy. The meeting was held In the open air on a number of vacant lota just opposlt the clubhouse of the East End Republican Club, on East Michigan street. The grounds where the meeting was held, the clubhouse and the street between the two places were beautifully decorated with Chlnf se lanterns. The big crowd, variously estimated at from eight hundred to one thousand people, was In an exceedingly good humor and gave its undivided attention to the words of the speakers. The women of the East End. not to be outdone in party loyalty by their husbands and brothers who belong to the club, served ire cream and cake to the crowd and Intend to devote the proceeds of their sales to the Republican campaign fund. XV. H. Pearce, the president of the East End Republican Club, presided at the meeting and Introduced Charles A. Bookwalttr, the Republican nominee for mayor, as the first speaker. Mr. Bookwalter's presence on the speaker's stand was greeted with enthusiastic applause, and his first speech of the campaign was listened to with manifest interest. In the beginning he spoke of the questionswhich Mayor Taggart had propounded to him touching upon some of the statements which he made in his letter of acceptance to Chairman Logsdon, of the Republican city committee. He declared that Taggarfs interrogatories were only a scheme of his to postpone the discussion of the real issues of the campaign. Many of the questions which Mr. Taggart had asked, he said, had already been answered in his letter of acceptance. "Each question shall be answered," said Mr. Bookwalter, "and in a manner that will dispel any uncertainties that may t-x-it in the minds of any of the citizens of this city." MR. BOOKWALTER'S SPEECH. He then proceeded to arraign and puncture the financial policy of the present Democratic administration, saying in part: "This campaign is to be fought out on issues vitally affecting every citizen and taxpayer of Indianapolis. The management of the financial affairs of the city of Indianapolis during the past six years lias been of such a character as to cause alarm to every thinking taxpayer of Indianapolis. "Taking the city, as Mr. Taggart did in 1S0Ö. with a cash balance in the treasury, without a single dollar of temporary indebtedness and with all the taxes due the following month unanticipated, we find ourselves to-day with an increase of the bonded debt of the city during the past six years of JWy.2ij0. with every dollar of money drained from the city treasury, with temporary loans asked for far in excess of the 2 per cent, constitutional limit, with no place to turn for further funds with which to meet the unpaid obligations of the city. I say to you. my fellow-citizens, that this presents a record of mismanagement, of wasteful and extravagant expenditure of fubilc moneys which has had no parallel n the history of the State of Indiana. REMARKABLE FINANCIERING. "I desire to call your attention to the remarkable financiering of the gentleman who to-day is the guiding genius of the controller's office: In a request made to the City Council on the 5th day of August, the controller submitted estimates of the amounts of money which would be required to pay the city's obligations for the months of July, August and September estimating that there would be needed for the month of July the sum of JÜO.UW. for August $k,000 and for September, JTO.Oou. "The Republican members of the Council, believing that the honor and credit of the city should be placed over and above temporary partisan advantage, granted authority tor such temporary loans; but no sooner had such authority been granted for the July and August loans than a second communication was received from the city controller, admitting that his first estimates had been in error admitting that nearly lu,000 of July bills had been withheld, and asking for an additional löö.Oo) with which to pay July and August obligations which he had not scheduled in his statement to the Council submitted originally. "The consistent course of the present administration has been to conceal from the people a true statement of the condition of the city's finances. At no time since the adoption of the 59-cent levy, and since a Republican Council by refusing to issue more bonds the proceeds of which could be applied to the concealment of the true condition of the city treasury; at no time has this administration told the people all the truth. "To-day we are told by the city controller that it will be necessary for the Council to authorize a further loan of Stt.OX). Instead of $70.000 as stated as late as Aug. 5, with which to pay city obligations which have heretofore accrued and the existence of which has been concealed from the pople, and other bills to accrue during the coming month. In making this last request, my fellow-citizens, this administration has been compelled to strip away the last shred of the mask which they have held over their record; and they stand to-day before the people of Indianapolis convicted of almost criminal mismanagement of city affairs; and with brazen effrontery asking a Republican Council to authorize them to make a loan which will carry the debt of the city beyond the constitutional 2 per cent limit. CONDITION OF THE CITY. "Let us examine, my fellow-citizens, the situation Into which this city of ours has been brought by this administration. With temporary loans of S'Jon.OOO. the city has reached the constitutional debt limit and can borrow no more; but, in order to meet the obligations which we are told by the city controller will accrue between now and the first day of October, a further sum of $37.f00 will be required. Section GO of the charter of the city of Indianapolis reads as follows: " 'The Common Council shall have power to borrow money to an amount not exceeding - per cent, of the taxable property of such city, as the same may appear on the tax duplicate of such city fur the year In which such loan shall bo effected, provided that the entire money borrowed shall not at any time exceed 2 per cent, of the taxable property of such citv. "The taxable limit of the city of Indianapolis under the present duplicate is fJ.47r."Vi; the bonded debt of the city of Indianapolis at the present time js $J.27ü,7-"J; adding to this bonded debt the temporary loans of $50.') and S4),") heretofore made, together with the fTo.voo asked for at the Monday night Council meeting, brings the debt of the city of Indianapolis up to the comfortable sum of JJ.l.i.T'; subtracting this bum from the constitutional debt limit would leave the city capable of borrowing, under Section 30 of the charter, which govern the city in the matter of temporary or permanent loans, the further sum nf J'3.:tv. In the face of this limitation of the city's powers and rights th able financier who now conducts the business of th city in the otP.ce of controller has asked a Republican Council to authorize a further temporary loan of $'."), which sum ex-c-ed the city's right to borrow $3f,640. Remember, my fellow-citizens, that this statement of the condition of the city of lnd!;inaiolls is based upon what this administration has told the people in its re

quests for temporary loans; if, in order to cover and conceal their mismanagement, they would, on Aug. 5. willfully refuse to submit to the Council accrued city obligations aggregating J.l'Xf'ol. I ask you is it not reasonable to presume that, in their present situation doubly desperate as it is that they are still concealing from the people of Indianapolis city obligations which, in Justice to city creditors, should b paid? THE TAGGART MESSAGE. "With this condition prevailing with this situation of the city treasury knowing that the constitutional debt limit has been reached by accrued bills, and if all city obligations are paid will be exceeded: at this time, as he did two years ngo. whn, with a deficit in the city treasury of nearly 'fi( Mr. Taggart assured the people of Indianapolis that he was able to reduce the levy owing to the economies he had practiced, and owing to the careful business management of affairs which had characterized his administration during the previous four years Mr. Tagsart again comes before the people of Indianapolis in an annual mesnge. submitted Monday night to the city Council, in which he declares that city affairs for the enusing two years can be conducted without an increase of the tax levy. I ask you. my fellow-citizens, are you longer in favor of a continuation of this peculiar system of linance? A pystem by which each year the load upon the backs of the taxpayers is increased by the amount of interest which must be paid upon these temporary loan, which are rendered necessary by the efforts of the present administration to conceal from you th actual condition of your affairs, if so. I ask you to soberly stop and think and inquire of yourself what will be the ultimate end of the city of Indianapolis should such theories of finance continue to prevail. There will come a day when these obligations must bo paid, and when that time comes there will be added to the necessary obligations of the taxpayers a burdensome load which will drive from Indianapolis capital seeking investment, manufacturers seeking locations and labor seeking employment. We are all Interested in this question, capitalists, manufacturers and laborers alike. "The people of Indianapolis in this campaign should demand that a change of administration be had in Indianapolis. Let us open the books. Let us have a statement of the city's affairs made by a new administration which will tell the people exactly where they are. Let us stop and take invoice." THE OTHER SPEAKERS. Mr. Bookwalter was followed by John McGregor, Republican county commissioner. Mr. McGregor congratulated the Republican party of the city on its excellent ticket and spoke particularly of Mr. Bookwalter's fitness for the office for whieli he was a candidate. He advised the Republicans not to be overconfident and urged them to perfect an organization which would make defeat practically Impossible. The last speaker was George V. Stubbs. candidate for police Judge. He said that he did not think it proper for a candidate for the office which he was seeking to outline the policy which lie intended to pursue, but that he wanted it understood that if he was elected the office would be conducted in such a manner as to reflect credit on the Republican party. He commended the policy of the party as laid down by Mr. IJookwalter in his letter of acceptance and said that he stood on that platform with both feet. In conclusion. Mr. Stubbs attacked the present financial policy of the Democratic party, and, in much the same manner as Mr. Bookwalter. exposed the sophistry with which that party was trying to fool the people. o EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

.Men AA'ho AV11I AUt In Running Republican Cniupaign. Chairman Logsdon, of the Republican city committee, yesterday announced the following executive committee: John B. Cockrum, Joseph B. Kealing, AV. T. Brown, Capt. AV. E. English and Frederick A. Joss.

John Calderwood, of No. 2016 Prospect street, was arrested ysterday evening by Bicycle Policeman Häuser and charged with drunkenness, disturbing the peace and malicious trespass. During the forenoon the bicycle police were sent to his home on account of trouble. He had gone when they arrived, but his wife later went to the office of Justice Smock and swore out a warrant for his arrest on a charge of assault and battery. She was afraid to go home again, claiming he would probably try to carry out a threat to kill her. Later in the day Calderwood went home, and when Häuser went to the house there was hardly a whole piece of furniture in the house. All of the pictures were destroyed, the china was shattered and covered the floor and canned goods and vegetables were there well mixed together. Over all was soot from the chimney. Calderwood had overturned the cookstove and allowed the pipe, filled with soot, to fall. He threatened Häuser with discharge from the force. He said he was a taxpayer and Hauser was his servant. TOOK HIS OWN LIFE. Edvrard Racan, n Jeweler, Hael Deinalonn About III lluslnenn. Edward Ducas, a Jeweler at 141 West Washington street, was found dead, hang- ( ing by a window cord .at his home, 1219 North Alabama street. The body was discovered about 7 o'clock by a member of his family. He had procured a piece of window cord, which was tied to the door and then about his neck, after which he allowed his body to fall backward, his own weight strangling him. Drs. Wynne and Lasn were called. The members of the family refused to discuss the matter, and no one besides the coroner was able to get any Information from them. Dr. Bnyton said Mr. Ducas had suffered from melancholia, due to a belief that his business affairs were not in good shape, all of which was said to be a delusion. He had been In business here for twenty-five years. During the hot weather in July he was overcome by the heat and several times after suffered from nervous collapse. Three weeks ago he went to Put-In Bay, but returned a week ago but little improved in health. He was forty-five years of age and leaves his widow and tjio sons. HAVING A GOOD TIME. The Hamens Manufacturers Attend Theater and Have Supper. The Harness Manufacturers' and Dealers' Protective Association held an all day's executive session j-esterday at the Occidental Hotel. No announcement was made regarding the details of the meeting other than that the sessions yesterday were devoted entirely to business concerning the organization. The purpose of the association is to prevent the direct ale of goods t consumers by jobbers. The association at this meeting will attempt to inaugurate a better plan of organization in an effort to induce all the retailers and manufacturers to join.

The delegates last night were entertained at the theater and suppr followed. To-day the officers will be elected and a city selected for the next convention. The convention will close with a banquet at the Occidental to-night. A Peculiar AVI1I Probated. A peculiar will was probated yesterday by W. W. Spencer. The will was that of John Beaver, of Lawrence township. lie owned 1.1 acres of land and b ft it to his widow and nine children according to the statutes. Afterward one of the legatees became Involved in litigation and Beaver made a codicil to the will, changing its first provisions in order to protect the bequest made to this heir. The litigation was afterward settled and Beaver then added another codicil revoking the former one and reinstating the original will with all of Its provisions. Do you remember Mn. Austin?

A SIDEWALK TRAGEDY

HENRY Mil. LEU. COLORED. FATALLY SHOOTS 1IKMIY 3III.LS, WHITE. The Affray Took Tlace on Colnmhla Adeline, AA'here AYhitcn ami Illncka Concrrente. THE PROVOCATION WAS SLIGHT MAW THIt EATS MADE BY AVIIITE 3IEX AFTER THE SHOOTING. Miller Dcllverel to the Police ly His Mother Wallace Pickett Also Slightly Injured. Henry Mills, a well-known character in the northeastern part of the city, was shot at Nineteenth street and Columbia avenue, last nipht. by Henry Miller, a negro living at 1720 Columbia avenue. He was until a late hour in a critical condition, and Dr. H. S. Leonard, who attended him, said there was little chance for his recovery. The negro escaped from the scene of the shooting and the police did not find him until several hours later. Mills was taken into the home of J. F. Morse, at 1713 Columbia avenue. The City Dispensary ambulance was called for, but upon its arrival Dr. Leonard and Dr. Devaney, accompanying the ambulance, decided it would be unsafe to move Mills. A few minutes later there was a report to that effect among those composing the large crowd gathered on the corner, and there were immediate threats of lynching the negro if he should be caught. An hour later the crowd had not lessened, and when a report was circulated that Mills was dead the threats of violence were renewed with vigor. Among the young men and boys there was considerable activity. Up to that time there were in the crowd, which numbered 7eO or SX), quite a number of negroes, but after it was reported that Mills was dead they quickly left the corner. It was at one time reporteel that the negro assailant of Mills had been caught two squares away, and about twenty of the younger men and boys left hurriedly for the place where he was said to have been captured. They did not hesitate to express their determination to take Miller away from the police if they could. The fact that no clash occurred was no doubt due to the fact that the negroes left the scene and the presence of the police. CAUSE OF THE SHOOTING. The shooting was without cause, except that it followed an attack upon another negro by a number of the whites. At the southeast side of the intersecting streets is a large vacant plot of ground. On two comers are saloons. The corner is, and for a long time has been, a place where worklngmen and loafers congregate. The number during the last week has been increased because a merry-go-round was put in operation on the vacant lots. There is in that part of the city a natural race prejudice, increased by the events at Fairview Park and other places. Frequent clashes of little moment between the whites and blacks have occurred nearly every night since the merry-go-round started doing business. Monday night several negroes were chased from the place. They threatened then to get even. Last night the usual crowd was there. A few words were passed between the whites and blacks. One negro, as one of the white gang expressed it, "got a little too gay and we 'run' him." The trouble started near the merry-go-round and back in the far corner of the vacant lots. The negro was chased several squares by about a dozen whites. Some of the young fellows participating in it said afterward that the negro was one who was with Miller at the time of the shooting, and that Miller took the matter up to "get even" for the attack upon his pal. The latter's identity could not be clearly established. After the excitement of the chase had subsided some negro threw rocks from the street over toward the merry-go-round. One rock struck a little girl, but did no harm. A few minutes later a young negro ran from the corner south on the Columbiaavenue sidewalk. The sidewalk was clear and as there was no one pursuing, there was no apparent cause for his running. Miller was about his house. About the time the young negro ran past the house Miller started out to the street. About the same time Mills started south on the sidewalk. So far as could be learned there was no connection between the three incidents. Miller told Mills that he could not "run over" him and had better not try it. The men. it was said, had had personal differences before. Mills turned around and while in the act of turning was shot. Miller fired three shots, two of which took effect. DROPPED TO SIDEWALK. After the first shot Mills dropped to the sidewalk and said to George Grover, who was near: "My God, George, I'm shot." Before Grover could reach Mills the negro had fired two more shots, one of which took effect while Mills was on his knees, Grover started toward Mills, and to him Miller said the same as he had said to Mills. About that instant a number of men and boys from the large crowd, which had retreated toward Nineteenth street, came running up and Miller ran across the street. Two shots were fired from across the street, but it was not known whether they were fired by Miller or some one else. John S. Nolan, who runs the merry-go-round, ran from his machine and fired two shots at Miller as he was running across the street. He dropped to the ground, and it was reported that he had been shot. The attention of most persons was directed to Mills, and when search was made for Miller he could not be found. One of the bullets which struck Mills Inflicted what is thought to be a fatal wound. It struck him just above the heart, and its course could not be traced. He told his friends he was fatally injured, and asked to.be left there on the walk until the ambulance arrived. Later a mattress was secured at the home of J. F. Morse, and upon it he was carried to the Morse home. Some of the boys in the crowd said Miller had been seen after the shooting about his home, from which he came just prior to it. No one seemed to know his home address, and the police were delayed. It was not until Detectives Splan and Haley visited the house at 172:) Columbia avenue that the identity of the negro who did the shooting was really learned. He had returned to the house and told his mother what had happened. After much persuasion she accompanied the detectives to the place on Baltimore avenue where he had told her he was going. They found him there, and he was sent to headquarters, charged with shooting with intent to kill. He said he had been attacked by some of the whites, and that he saw them reach into their pockets as if to draw revolvers, and he did the same. Later Detectives Gerber and Lancaster went to his home and secured the revolver he had used. Only two of the cartridges had been discharged. Most of the witnesses agreed that three shots had been fired by him. Later it was learned that a negro named Wallace Pickett, living on East St. Clair street, had been shot in the head by one of the bullets, which it was thought had not taken effect. He got away from the place and went to the Physio-medic il Dispensary before the fact that lie had been shot was known to persons in the crowd. HEAD STRUCK A TREE. .Miss Jennie AVirtr. Seriously Hurt la Fnll from Her Bicycle. Miss Jennie Wirtz. twenty-three years old. living at K27 Fletcher avenue, struck a tree while riding her bicycle yesterday, and may be fatally Injured. She had just left her home after dinner, and was starting to Eli Lilly r Co.'s, where she Is employed in the laboratory. A neighbor boy ran out as she mounted her bicycle, and wanted to run a race. She consented, but h.id not gone far enough to be running fast when her wheel suddenly veered to one side and threw her headlong against a tree. She was carried Into the home of Charles D. Gray, 1521 Fletcher avenue, in front of
