SnKKPKtlon. .Made In Yiu of the Petition .tv Ilefore tlit Itoaril of Work. In a communication to the Hoard of "Works, prepared by the track elevation commission, the attitude of that part of the Commercial Club regarding; the Indian apolis Southern Railroad is clearly defined. The communication states that in the opinion of the member? of the commission, the petition of the Indianapolis Southern Railroad for entrance into the heart of the city involves questions of far reaching Importance. Upon the shoulders of the city officials who have the matter under consideration rests a big: responsibility. The letter to the board states that surface railways are very serious menaces to public rights; and franchises should be granted with extreme care. Whenever possible new roads should lo compelled to enter the city over tracks already in existence. That policy has been followed in other cities of the country, and while it may involve some hardship to roads seeking admission, it is unquestionably of the utmost value In protecting citizens from dangers and inconveniences. The communication goes on to say that the Commercial Club has no objection to the entrance of the road because it deems It an enterprise full of great commercial advantages for the city. It does ask, however, that the board take, into consideration before everything else the rights of the people; and the club offers the following suggestions to the board: "1. As a first step it should be ascertained beyond all room for doubt whether it would be possible for the Indianapolis Southern Hail way to snure entrance to tho city over existing tracks. For this purpose e suggest that the board have an Investigation made in its own way which will disclose fully the rights and powers o? the new railway In securing entrance to the city over existing tracks and clearly establishing the fact if it is x. fact that such arrangements cannot be made. "2. It a new right of way into the city Is the only means of entrance for the proposed railway, the condltons under which this will be granted by the board should be such as will afford to the publ!s the utmost protection. If this protection cannot be secured, the public should not be wronged by a rant which would constantly work harm to it." It is further suggested that the board require that no grade crossings be allowed where it is xossible to avoid them. Fnder a plan of partial elevation of tracks, and depression of streets under the tracks grade crossings can be avoided until withi'I two squares of the Union Station. Tlu club believes this plan to be entirely practicable, that it would save large amounts in litigation and continued expense for the protection at crossings. The commission does net have mucli faith in sections which may be inserted in the franchise providing that tracks N elevated tome time in the future. Regarding that point the communication says: VV regard as julle inadequate the rropositicn to insert a clause in the franchise providing for track elevation at some time In the future. It is contended that this power already exist?, and if this is true, nothing would be Kained by inserting such a clause in the franchise. If the power does not exist, the provision of the franchise would be of no advantage to the city until state legislation w.nil.l enable the city to compel the elevation of ether tracks, and if we must await such Ieftilatlon it would, when It comes, apply equaiiy to any future exercise of the power." The commission enlls attention to the fact that the Supreme Court of Illinois has tfecided that track elevation as required In Chicago is perfectly Kgal and the court ot this State Is expected to rn.ir a similar 3 cls'on. The communication sums up the advantages of the suggestion in the following: "As the pi in of eonstrutcion which . propose is practicable; as it affords the best troteetiui that run U- given to the public; as it will, if necssary, give the proposed railway ntrar.ee to the city tinder very ad a.'it;:gf on, terms, and as it is in accord with the present laws of IndianIt polls relating to railroads, we submit that ir presents the best solution of the question, all things coiiM.lere.i. j additional track are r.n-e?.jry for the new- railroad " fitvr Itaooa IVA and up at Yujvbaer'a,

MYSTERIOUS COMPLICATIONS OIlsti:i: AM) THHHATKMXCi MJTKS Li;i T I M)i:it DOOIt. SiiNpicinn Directed Toward To Women ami a Mini of Very IVculinr Hehnvlor. The police were called upon last night to investigate an acid-throwing case, which, as it appeared last night, may prove as much of a mystery as the Haskinson-Kline case, which was for several years In the local courts. .Mrs. Sherman Mobley. living in the rear of 813 North Pine street, after washing her supper dishes, went into a little passageway between the house and a woodshed to throw the dirty water into the alley. As she threw it carbolic acid was thrown in her face. Mr?. Mobley said she did not know whether it was a man or woman who threw the acid and she might not be able to identify the person if brought before here. Her injuries are severe but not dt.ngerous. Her face on the right side will, no doubt, always be scarred. Her breast was also badly burned by the acid, which soaked through her clothing. A peculiar feature of the case is that the acid is supposed to have been thrown by one who had been writing notes and leaving them under th door of the Mobley home, in which there was a sort of professed friendship and interest. The notes, which were of obscene character, seemed to be for the purpose of advising Mrs. Mobley of her husband's actions. The last note was little different from the others except that it contained the following threat or warning: "You had better go down or you might get your pretty eyes and face spoilt. So go down and you will be all right. Goodbye if you don't go. Yours." This note was left in the door Monday. Mrs. Mobley said, In describing the .assault upon her, that as she went to throwout her dishwater she saw an arm raised before her. Instinctively she threw up her arm. Before she saw the arm, she said, she distinctly smelled the fumes of carbolic acid, but thought nothing of it. Three attempts were made to throw the acid into her face. The first time she protected her face by throwing up her arm before she fully realized what was going on. She was then partially overcome by the fumes of the acid, and when the unknown assailant grabbed her with one hand and tried to throw more of the acid into her face her other hand, containing the empty dishpan, was raised. This time the acid, in large quantity, struck her shoulder, soaking through the thin garments to the llesh. The third attempt was when the bottle was thrown or when she knocked the bottle from the hand of the unknown assailant. She said she was for a tima unable to pet her breath and could not speak until after the acid was thrown the second time. Then she began screaming. Her husband rushed out. It was very dark in the passageway, in which Mrs. Mobley had fallen to the ground, and he could not see her. He called to her several times before she answered him. Mobley picked her up, carried her into the house, left her in charge of neighbors who had by that time come in, and, taking a hatchet, started out through the alley in search of the person who had thrown the acid. Not being able to find the assailant, he went to Dr. Conger's office and asked him to attend his wife. The application of soda, milk and other home remedies by neighbors before the arrival of the doctor greatly relieved Mrs. Mobley's suffering and did much in preventing permanent injury or disfigurement. The police were advised. Bicycle Police Losh and Low were there within ten minutes, but after learning as much of tht story as they could were unable to catch the one who had thrown the acid. A WOMAN SUSPECTED. Mrs. Mobley said her assailant waa clothed in something like a rain coat and had a fascinator or hood about the head. She was unable, to distinguish any feature. The bicycle police found in the mud in the alley at the side of the woodshed the footprints of a woman who had evidently worn rubber overshoes. The empty bottle was found. It had been broken by the fall, but on a portion of it was found a label "Poison." The bottle was a common halfpint whisky flask. The acid was said by Dr. Conger to be of extra strength. Suspicion was directed to a woman living on Massachusetts avenue, near St. Clair street, with whom Mobley said he associated during the absence of his wife from the city. The explanation given by this woman was satisfactory to the police and in view of the threatening or warning note it was decided that there must be some other woman connected with the case. The manner in which the notes, all of them hardly legible and without signature, were left at the Mobley home, is another peculiar feature of the case. Mrs. Mobley said six weeks ago a man came to her house and asked for her husband, who was at that time in Richmond. Nearly every day this man would pass the house, stopping or slowing up as he neared the house. Each time he would address her by name and smile sweetly upon her. She said she paid no attention to him. He was. she said, a tall tine-looking man, rathr dark, welldressed and wearing a heavy black mustache. Nearly always he rode a bicycle. A few days ago he passed and by his manner showed he had intended to stop. Two of her brothers were sitting in the front room, one of them close to the window. 'I he man, however, instead of stopping, suddenly quickened his speed and hurried away from the house. This man is supposed to have something to do with the acid throwing, as in some of the notes it was plainly stated that Mrs. Mobley was foolish to "live there in that alley" when she might as well have as good a time aher husband was having. Mrs. Mobley said that a note was invariably found under the door shortly after this man had passed. She said no note was found except after he had been seen. FURTHER COMPLICATIONS. She said she had once seen this man standing in front ot the house on Massachusetts avenue where the woman rirst suspected lived. She had once visited the house and inquired for her husband, who was there and accompanied her home. Persons living near this house on Massachusetts avenue say there were many disturbances in the house, and a few days ago the police were called in to eject an unruly vi.-itor. Two of the neighbors said this visitor was Mobley. but he claims not to have been In the house for some time. Mrs. Mobley thit.ks a woman who has called upon her several times has also some connection wP.h the eas. She said this woman called anil wanted to sell hei some medicine. She did not buy, despite the insistence of the woman. A few days later a small package of the medicine was found under the door, with n request that it ! takin and the effects noted. Mrs. Mobley took the medicine, and said she experineed lathed peculiar effects. The woman, fhr said, passed the bouse several times, once or twice alout the time notes were found and after the man who was thought to have left the notes had aloo passed. The woman, she said, had twice asked

to stop for a "chat." Permission was refused. She said the conversation of the woman and the note accompanying the medicine contained sentences and references to the persons in the house where the suspected woman lives. Mobley was much excited all evening and for a time waited upon the step outside the house with a large revolver in his hnd. Several times during the evening there were knocks at the door and each time he would go to the door with the revolver. He declared his intention of "settling" with the man who had annoyed his wife, even though he were not identified with the throwing of the acid.

AT THE GERMAN HOUSE Til MSf.I Yl; FESTIVAL. IX AI'TI'RXOUX AMI TIL.I, LATE AT M(iIIT. There Were Athletic Show, n Ciermnn Faroe, and After All Dancing in Main Auditorium. The German House membership observed Thanksgiving with a festival from 3 o'clock in the afternoon till after midnight. It was the annual fall festival for the Germans, and an elaborate programme had been prepared. From 3 o'clock until night was set apart for the children. The time was spent in playing games. Music was furnished during the afternoon by the German House orchestra. The night entertainment was in three divisions. The auditorium of the building was crowded when the programme began. The lirst was an athletic exhibition by Miss Cabel, Miss Kappeler and Hugo Fischer, physical director. Otto Nolting played a piano solo and a double quartet composed of members of tho Musikverein sang two selections. Mrs. Jeffries and Prof. Alexander Ernestinoff each played a piano solo. John Koch sang a Swiss song. The active turners gave an exhibition of gymnastics and pyramid building, and the first patt of the programme ended with tumbling by Mr. Irrgang and Mr. Elkins. After an intermission a play entitled "Mr. Hercules" was presented by members of the German House. The play is an old German comedy of errors full of ridiculous complications. The plot centers around a school director and a director of a small circus. Inadvertently applicants for the circus apply to the school director and a school candidate asks for a position from the circus director. The circus director wants athletes. Men of muscle, and powerful physique pounce upon the school director, and on the other hand a frail looking student with milky complexion and yellow, curly hair, clad in the garb of a minister, finds himself ridiculed by the director of the circus. These complicated circumstances are finally unraveled in the last act by the two directors meeting and subsequent explanations. In the piay the part of Mr. Mahlmann, the school director, was taken by Richard Lieber. Miss Martha Janka took the part of his daughter. Richard Oppel was the meek young man who applied to the circus director for a position. Hugo Fischer was the circus director. George Lehmann played the title role, Mr. Hercules, the strong man who astounded the baldheaded school director. Henry Moesch took the part of a porter and Mrs. Hugo Fischer that of a servant. The play was given with a good stage setting and the lines were well said by the performers. All was In German. When the play was finished the hall was cleared and the rest of the night was spent in dancing. Aside from these amusements there were several booths. Miss Charlotte Dinkelaker had charge of the fruit booth; Mrs. Henry Moesch, the "Klondike" booth; Mrs. Fred Rachmann, the children's booth, and C. B?cherer, George Lehmann and August Tamm loudly clamored and pounded with paddles to attract attention to a fake roulette game in one corner of the hall. The Klondike booth furnished novel amusement. Inside the booth was a large pan of sawdust and 10 cents was charged for the prlviledge of digging out small cubes which were numbered and called for prizes. The auditorium and halls were prettily decorated with shocks of fodder and adorned with sunflowers. CITY NEWS NOTES. Henry Hanseln, a German farmer, living at Beech Grove, was driving on Orange street yesterday afternoon. His horse ran away and his wagon collided with a buggy. He and his wife were thrown out and both were severely, but not dangerously injured. William Maloy, who lived at 421 North Capitol avenue with Joseph Cooper, engineer at the Grand Hotel, was arrested yesterday by Hauser and Trimpe, bicycle police, and charged with the theft of razors and jewelry from persons rooming in the house. A portion of the stolen property was found in a second-hand store. Cooper took Maloy in some time ago out of sympathy for him. Hotel Cafe Walter Arrested. Mrs. Babeoek, living at the English Hotel, reported to the police yesterday afternoon the loss of her pocketbook containing $33 and a diamond brooch worth about $73. She said she had been In the cafe and left her pocketbook there when she went to her room. Within three minutes she returned and it had disappeared. The empty pocketbook was found in the basement in a barrel, and the investigation of Detectives Morgan, Haley and Splan showed that Charles Richardson, a waiter had been about the table and also in the basement, where the empty pocketbook was found. He was arrested and charged with the theft which he denied. Thomas Smith, another waiter was also arrested. lie lJuyed the Policemen. A report was received yesterday afternoon at police headquarters that Patrolman Winn had been surrounded by a crowd of negroes, who were giving him rough treatment. Bicycle Policemen Hauser and Trimpe were sent out. They found Winn had dispersed the crowd which had surrounded him out of curiosity when he had trouble with a drunken man. A number of negro boys guyed the bicycle men when they appeared and one of them was sent to headquarters, after a chase of several squares, and charged with loitering.

HOTEL LOBBY GLEANINGS

(OIM'OIIAL It. C. SMITH SPENT THANKSGIVING IN TIIK CITY. He i:nlited About Twenty Yearn Aro and' Haw n Good Heconlllotel Visitors. A well-built young man with a square, honest face and wearing the uniform of an oflicer in the United States artillery stood at the news stand in the Stubbins Hotel yesterday evening putting a cigarette. He was Corporal R. C. Smith, just discharged from a five months service In the army at Havana, Cuba. Corporal Smith enlisted in the regular service nineteen or twenty years ago in this city. At the end of each three years since that time he has re-enlisted until now. He is not sure about reentering the service this time. Corporal Smith came home to eat Thanksgiving turkey, and his dinner was made sweeter by the thought that he carries an honorable discharge in his pocket and that at Washington in the books of the urmy and navy departments there is no flaw in his record. In all these nineteen years' service Corporal Smith has not seen the inside of a guardhouse as prisoner or faced a court-martial as a culprit to be tried. "I feel as though I have done enough for Uncle Sam," the corporal remarked yesterday, "and if I tan get into some satisfactory business I'll stay at home now. If not well, there's a place in the army for the fellow that is willing to be square and honest and is not afraid of work." Corporal Smith has been a member of the One-hundred-and-eleventh company, artillery corps. The headquarters of the artillery is in Morro Castle. Since Corporal Smith enlisted as a bugler nineteen or twenty years ago he has spent the greater part of his time west of the Mississippi. Part of the time he was in Texas close to the Mexican line. He said yesterday evening that he does not like Cuba nor the people In it. He contends that the people are not tit to govern themselves, and asserts that even the leaders on the island could not maintain a government. "Education may make a difference, but I don't think It ever will," he remarked. Corporal Smith declares the army in Cuba is in good condition. He severely criticises such newspapers as the New York Journal for sensational reports about the army. "I think the New Y'ork Journal is a nuisance and ought to be suppressed," he declared. Corporal Smith says there are many Americans In Havana. Many soldiers on receiving their discharge settle down to live there. He says two young fellows, one from Richmond, this State, and the other from Paducah. Ky., are engaged in the hotel business. They were both soldiers. They have the best hotel In Havana, Smith says. It is called the Ilenica. Smith says that a man with a few hundred dollars can settle down in Cuba and make money. He says there is not much sickness among the soldiers in Havana since they have become used to the climate. The sanitary conditions in Havana are good, he says. In speaking of the habits of the soldiers the corporal declares that niotty-nine out of one hundred smoke cigarettes. Smith is staying at the Stubbins until his people, who are out of the city, arrive home. BUSY TIMES AT COXXEHSVILLE. Shipment of n Train Load of Carriage After New Factorlen. J. E. McFarlan, who Is superintendent of the McFarlan Carriage Company, of Connersville, made the statement at the DeniFon Hotel yesterday that the company with which he is connected is the only concern in the country that ever sent out an entire train load of buggies in a single shipment. On Jan. 10, l?uü, this company sent a train load of carriages to Texas and according to Mr. McFarlan's statement, overy vehicle was sold before they were loaded. The train consisted of thirty-one cars. Edward P. Hawkins, who Is also at the Denison Hotel, tells a like story of prosperity. He is secretary of the Connersvllle Furniture Company, which is one of the largest concerns of its kind in the United State. They employ on an average about 250 men the year around. "The last six months," says Mr. Hawkins, "was the biggest six months we ever had." The company has organized a mutual aid society among its employs and has put the organization on a sound financial basis. Each member of the society pays dues amounting to $5 a year. When a member of the society falls ill he receives $5 a week as long as he is ill. In the event of his death the wife receives $50 benefits. In the event of the death of the wife of a member of the society, the husband receives $25. Mr. Hawkins says there are two foundries in Connersville that are running night and day to keep up with their work. The city is to have a new establishment in the shape of an overall factory, which is being brought there by the Manufacturers' Club. The city is donating a building to the men who will establish the factory. They are to give employment to fifty women and girls at the start and promise to employ 200 within a year. COLLECTIONS IX THE HOTELS. I'ernoni in the Lobby of the Engllnh CJnve l."i(K Those in charge of the Thanksgiving collection taken on Wednesday in the different hotels, for the benefit of the Girls' Industrial School, are much pleased with their day's work. The young women who took the collection in the hotels remained there until 10 p. m. At that hour the donations at the Hotel English amounted to $50. Mrs. IJlanchard, who is at the head of the school, said last night that the collection taken in the hotels and in business buildings would aggregate more than $100. People In all walks of life contributed to the donation. At the Hotel English, where the largest collection was taken, three young women sat patiently throughout the day. answering the numerous questions put to them by those who contributed, and for the sake of a good cause smiled sweetly when the badinage on the part of young men who sought to be "gay," became more or less trying. At the different hotels the clerks and proprietors became interested in the work and assisted in making it plain to obdurate guests that they ought to contribute. On different occasions H. W. Lawrence, proprietor of the English, said to a hesitating guest, "I'll give a dollar if you will." This banter usually had the desired effect and the contribution was forthcoming. FOIt THE YVANDEHEItS. Elaborate Thanksgiving Dinners nt the Lending Hotel. Thanksgiving dinners were made special features at the leading hotels yesterday. Some of the houses had elaborate menu cards for their guests. The Denison had an especially handsome card, dinner being served from j to S p. m. An orchestra played while the guests dined. At the Columbia c'lub. Superintendent Barber had an especially pood dinner for the members of the club and their friend Dinner was served at the club from 1 to 3 p. m. Music was one of the features. The management of the Hotel KnsMsh. in addition to a fine meal, had provided a handsome menu card, bearing on the back a picture of the Soldiers' and Sailors monu ment, and nlvir.g a view of the front of the hotel. Dinner was served from f, to S o'clock. Arnotij? the prettiest of the menu cards used by the hotels were those which the cuests at the Grand found at their plates. '1 he tlinner. from K to k o'clock, was as elaborate as the cards. There was music at the Grind, too. CAI'T. IH'.MIVS HOTEL lit UNCI). lire fit 4ioport 'illiMeM it I, .inn of .;,!;'0 on n Ilui Ming. Capt. James K. Henry, who was regi Ured at the Grand Hotel last night, told of a J..oo) file at CJosport. Captain Henry's home, early yesterday morning. The build ing destroyed was the Gosport sanitarium and hotel, which was owned by Captain

Henry and his brother-in-law. Dr. C. A. Pritchard. The building was partly in

sured. The nre was discovered about 6 o clock in the morning. All of the guests of the house got safely out. Captain Henry thinks the fire originated from a kitchen tlue. The building was a three-story frame structure. Captain Henry said last night that he was not prepared to say whether or not the building would be rebuilt. Untitling for Auditorshlp. Francis H. Doran, of L.aporte, Republican candidate for auditor of State, was a. guest at the Denison yesterday. "If good, hard hustling equalities will land me in the auditor's office." he said. "I will be the next auditor of Indiana." Mr. Doran is at present auditor of Importe county. He was postmaster at Michigan City from lf-0 to J I v.M. He says that in isjz Cleveland carried Laporte county by 1,152 votes. In lS'.d Mr. Doran carried the county for auditor by 21S votes. In 1SIS he carried it by 24-i. Senator Johnston in the City. State Senator William H. Johnston, of Crawfordsville, was at the Grand Hotel last night, leaving for his home on the 11:50 train. Senator Johnston will be in the legislature again this winter. He declares that although the Ninth district is almost hopelessly Republican, the Democrats will have a candidate for Congress again next year. ProRremi of Clay-pool Hotel. Henry W. Lawrence said last night that the workmen on the Claypool Hotel would begin laying stone for the building next Monday. Mr. Lawrence asserted that within the next two weeks the second story will have been reached. YV. YV. Parson In Town. W. W. Farsons, president of the State Normal at Terre Haute, stopped at the Grand Hotel last night, on his way to Martinsville. Marcnliee' Hecorder Here. J. W. Replogel, of Goshen, supreme record keeper of the Order of Maccabees, was here yesterday investigating a death claim. GALA DAY AT INSTITUTIONS. The Cntitom of Serving: Turkey Dinnem W Followed. The state, county and charitable institutions of the city yesterday observed Thanksgiving in the usual way, by providing the regulation turkey dinner with trimmings, and allowing a little more freedom than usual to those in the institutions. At the Central Hospital following a big dinner the Inmates participated in a dance in the chapel. At the Julletta asylum an extra dinner was provided for the one hundred and thirteen unfortunates quartered there. Forty-five children at the Children's Guardians' Home, In Irvlngtcn, enjoyed a special dinner provided for them by the officers of the home and friends who made liberal contributions. At the poor farm turkey, cranberry sauce, celery and gingerbread constituted the extra part of the dinner served there. Sheriff Saulcy said when asked about the fare of the prisoners under his charge. "They got all they could eat. They got more than they could eat. I guess they fared as well as prisoners any place." At the Door of Hope a most bountiful dinner was served, being made up of contributions from a large number of individuals and societies connected with the different churches. The afternoon was spent in talking, reading and singing. One of the turkeys served came from Greenwood. A most delightful time was reported at the Woman's Prison, where there are 150 girls and 50 women, all of whom shared in the extra repast. After dinner they were entertained by P. Gundelfingen who gave a phonographic entertainment. In the evening the younger ones indulged in games, eating apples, cake and popping corn. "Mrs. Jarley's Wax Works" were presented and furnished much amusement for the young people. Dentil of Joneph XV. Chomel. Joseph William. Chomel died yesterday afternoon at the home of his parents, corner Georgia street and Capitol avenue. Mr. Chomel was thirty-three years old. He had been a sufferer from consumption for about a year.
