XeKatlve Side Argued SaIooun Would Come with Annexation and Kill the College. A large crowd was present last night at the Butler College Chapel to hear the debate, arranged by Professor A. Howe's forensic class, on "Irvington Annexation." Never was a more spirited debate held at the college, the speakers being continually interrupted by applause. A majority of annexationists was present. The college boys had made a thorough Investigation cf this subject, and presented their arguments plainly and forcibly. The audience was given a review of the subject. President Scot Iiutler acted as chairman and Introduced the speakers, and the question, which was "Resolved, That Irvington should be annexed to the city of Indianapolis." The affirmative was represented by Charles McEIroy, Chester Vernier and Earl Edson; the negative by Frank Long, Jasper Moses and Roy Adney. Chester Vernier was the first speaker, lie showed hastily the total benefits which both Irvington and Indianapolis would gain by annexation. The first speaker of the negative was Jasper Moses, who said that a small town is the only one that can have an Ideal form of government. Charles McKlroy dwelt on the water question, showing that by annexation only could Irvington gain a water works system, because Irvington was now within J15.000 of its flebt limit of 2 per cent. Mr. McEIroy said that Irvington should be annexed for water works If for nothing else. Frank Long was the second speaker of the negative. He said that Irvington could have wattr pumped Into its boundrle3 and get It at city prices. The saloon question was dwelt upon by the lut speaker, especially. Mr. Edson, of the affirmative, nforced the fact that all Irvington property would b more valuable by being in the city corporation. Adney, the last speaker, asserted that saloons would surely come with annexation, and they would kill the college. He showed that Irvington was on a better b&ela financially than Indianapolis, and was iowerlr.g Its debt each year. Messrs. Long and Vernier nade ttve rebuttal speeches, summing up all points. The decision of the Judges was unanimously for the affirmative. The judges were Charles E. Offutt. of Greenfield; Crote Howcn. of Indianapolis, and the Rev. W. i Norton, of the Downey-avenue Christian Church. THE RIGHT OF SEARCH POLICY MEX W1LI FIGHT CASES OX T1JIS ItOUND. Their Attorney Holds that Police Have .No Right to (Jo Through Their Pockets. William Nichols, who gave his name to tho turnkey at police headquarters as Jlenry Jones, was tried In Police Court yesterday morning on the charga of running a policy game. He was fined $10 and costs. This was by agreement between the prosecutor and Kissel's lawyer, Taylor Gronlngcr, who appeared to defend Nichols. "When arrested, Nichols had a large number of policy tickets In his possession. These were takn by Detectives Holtz and Wallace, who made the arrest. After the trial, demand was made on Superintendent Taffe for the return of the policy slips, which Jule Stubbs had not ordered destroyed, and the money. The return of the Ups was refused on the ground that they constituted a part of a gambling outfit. Tn money, it was said, would be returned later. Nichols was tried under the name of Henry Jones, but his lawyer went at one to justice Smock' court and brought suit under his rlflht name for the replevin of the property withheld. Superintendent Taffe late in th afternoon turned the money over to Nichols and. the illcy slips to Prosecutor Ruckelshaus, who will tight the ra in the higher courts. The suit has brought up the question as tn whether or not polk- ofneer have the right to search a man's pockets before, or even after he has been arrested for a misdemeanor. It is said that the policy men will fight the police on this question. The directors of the Indianapolis Fire Insurance Company have declared a semiannual dividend of 2Vi per cent, on th capital stock, payable Feb. 10. to the persons holding euch stock on Jan. 20, and no transfers shall b mdo upon the stock ledger between said date.

AN EPIDEMIC IS FEARED

OTIIi:H C.SK OF SMALLPOY INDIANAPOLIS FOl'NDItl . AT The Four Hundred Employe Varel. mite! I) urine the Day Tuenty Canes for January. The fears of the city health officers that the exposure of 4X employes of the Indianapolis Foundry Company to a victim of smallpox in its most virulent form would result in a dangerous epidemic among the colored people of the city may be realized. I-ist night a member of the family of Dayton Demar, a colored employe of the foundry company, went to the office of a doctor in the neighborhood and informed him that Demar was very sick. The suspicions of the doctor were aroused and his investigations showed that Demar was afflicted with a case of smallpox of the most pronounced type. The doctor who handled the case stated that Demar undoubtedly contracted the scourge from contact with "Pack" Williams, the colored foundryman who was discovered with the disease while at work in the foundry. Demar had been sick several days before his family realized that he was seriously ill; and in the words cf the doctor, after he made the examination, "His face was a sight." Demur, as well as Williams, had been mingling constantly not only with employes of the foundry but with colored people of his own neighborhood, and it is feared that his sickness will have particularly unpleasant results. IJy order of the City Health Roard most of the men employed at the foundry were vaccinated yesterday, but the officers of the board are apprehensive that the vaccinations were made too late to be of service in checking a spread of the disease. The officers of the board are going ahead quietly without arousing popular fears, and are making preparations to deal with an epidemic. Dr. Iiuehler. city sanitarian, is rushing plans for the new contagion house at the City Hospital, and a special meeting of Council may be called at any time to pass an ordinance authorizing the construction of the $2.W0 building. The Health Roard is seriously handicapped even at present in dealing with smallpox on account of the crowded condition of the pest house at the hospital, and if an epidemic were to develop suddenly the results might be of the -gravest nature. In addition to the case of Demar, of which the board has not been officially notified, there were throe cases formally reported yesterday. W. A. Owings, of 20 Reville avenue, was reported by Dr. C. ). Iwry to have a pronounced case of the disease, and his house was immediately quarantined. Owings is a white man. Dr. Nelson Rrayton reported to the board that Julius Pettiford, of 431 Hiawatha street, is suffering from a case of variola, and he was taken to the City Hospital. lVttiford is a colored man. Dr. Ruehler discovered the case of Kugene Roone, colored, of 527 North California street, and he. too, was taken to the contagion pavilion. With Demar's case the record for the month of January is an even twenty cases, an average of about one dally. Dr. Ruehler, while apparently not apprehensive of a dangerous epidemic, does not attempt to disguise the fact that the situation is serious. Whenever another rase of smallpox is reported to the office he says it means that the circle of persons that have been exposed to contagion grows larger; on that principle contagion develops with the speed of geometrical progression. He says the board is following strictly the rules of the health service in regard to vaccination and quarantine, and he hopes that they may be effective. In discussing the local smallpox situation Dr. Nelson Rrayton said last night: "There Is far too much smallpox in Indianapolis much more than the size of the city warrants. I attribute the unusual frequency of the cases to the lack of general vaccination. In Indianapolis colored people are the usual victims, and it is because, In nineteen cases out of twenty, they have not submitted to vaccination either from superstition or from actual fear. In the East there Is seldom the disproportion of cases among whites and blacks that there 1 here. Vaccination among colored people is more common there." Dr. Rrayton, while declaring that there may be some danger of a spread of the scourge among the colored people of the city, does not believe that the case originating among the employes of the Indianapolis Foundry Company will result in a general epidemic. STRIKE AT LAUTER PLANT SCVr.X WOllKMKX WERK DISMISSED AND FIFTH EN OTIIKUS QUIT. They Are 3Iembers of Hardwood Finishers Organization nnd Only Union Men In the Factory. The twenty-two members of the Hardwood Finishers Union employed at II. Iauter's furniture factory, at Harding: and Washington streets, aro not working this week, and they say they will not return to work until Mr. Lauter agrees not to violate their agreement. Mr. Lauter announces to the strikers that he will not again recognize the union, and he docs not care to have the members of it enter his factory. The workmen say they will wait until he expresses a desire to talk to them. Members of the union said last night that they and Mr. Lauter agreed, last November, that sixty hours should be a week's work and "time and a half" should be paid for extra labor. Last Saturday night, they added, Mr. Lauter presented for the workmen's signatures a written contract that thoy would "work with the whistle" and demand no increased rate of wages for extra hours. The men would not sign, and seven of them that were particularly outSpoken were dismissed. The union met on Sunday and decided on the strike. The organization, it is said. Is in good financial condition. The other employes of the Lauter factory are not union men. but the strikers' representatives said last night Mr. Lauter has not been able to Induce hardwood linishers to come here from other cities and take the place3 of the strikers. The Hardwood Finishers' Union is affiliated with the Amalgamated Woodworkers. General President Mulcahy is in Jcffersonville, where there is a strike, and he may come to this city to take a hand in the Lauter factory trouble. Neither of the state labor commissioners is in the city. They, too, will be Informed by the union of the strike. Printers evr "Waste Scale. The new scale of wages agreed upon by the Indianapolis Typothetac and the Indianapolis Typographical Union for book and Job offices will go into effect next Saturday morning. The new scale raises the wages of time hands In the trade from $16.50 for a fifty-four week to $17.40, the Cincinnati scale, and increases the hand piece scale from 40 to 424 cents a 1,0 ems. The machine scale for book work will be the same as is in force in night and day newspaper offices. Committees of the, Typothetae and the union will meet within a few days to prepare a form of contract similar to that existing between the PubUshers' Association and the union, binding their agreement for a period of years. On the Clnypool lintel Rulldlng. The Hod Carriers' Union has not yet decide dto call Its men off the new Claypool Hotel building in sympathy with the carpenters. The matter was to have been decided at Monday night's meeting, but It Is said there was too much other business to come before tho union and action was deferred. The bricklayers have refused to recognize the carpenters, and they arc now trying to get the hod carriers, on whom the bricklayers are dependent, to assist

them. It I said the general contracting firm Is being reorganized and will settle matters satisfactorily with the carpenters.

' William Weaver, of Martinsville, who said he was the manager of the Davis Cooperage Company of that city, was found i early yesterday morning in the L. E. & J W. yards by Patrolman Cox. His face and head were badly battered, and Weaver t said h had b-en assaulted and robbed, al- j though h had some money and his watch j when found. Patrolman Cox said he had fallen down stairs. His case was continued in Police Court, and upon recommendation ! of Police Surgeon Qarstang he was sent home. THE CARE OF AN INFANT 3IRS. .NORA FHALEICK LEFT IT ON HUSnAND'S DOOR STEP. The Latter' Mother Also Wanted the Police to Care for nn Older llnhy Ilahe In a IlHsket. Eicycle Policemen Griffin and Manning were sent yesterday to tho home of Mrs. Drake, 533 Fatterson street, where it had been reported a baby girl had been left in a basket. Mrs. Drake said sho had seen Mrs. Nora Fralelck leave the basket containing the baby at 520 Patterson street, the home of her husband's parents, with whom he lived. She knew no one was at home and she went out and got the child and cared for It until it was taken by the officers to the Orphan Asylum. The baby, the officers learned, was born at the City Hospital Jan. 12. Monday Mrs. Fralelck, who is separated from her husband, called at his home at 520 Patterson street and was denied admittance. He would not see her. Yesterday afternoon she returned with the babe and left It In a basket on the doorstep. Mrs. Fraleick's mother lives on Noble street near the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton Railway. Mrs. Fralelck's mother-in-law, on Jan. 11, the day on which she was taken to the City Hospital, called at police headquarters with a fourteen-months-old babe, which she wanted the police to take care of. She was advised to take it to the Orphan Asylum or by a suit in a justice's court compel her son. the father of the child, to care for it. She said he was a worthless chap, and left without saying what disposition would be made of the child. The mother of this child was Mrs. Fralelck, who also left tha new-born babe for its father to care for. WESTERN RESERVE MEN INDIANA GRADUATES OF OLD OHIO UNIVERSITY ORGANIZE. Dr. R. E. Hnnghton, of Richmond, Elected President Mr. Thvrlnar, Head of the College, Here. A number of graduates of the Western Reserve University, of Cleveland, O., living In Indianapolis and other cities of Indiana, took advantage of the visit to this city of the president of their alma mater, the Rev. Charles F. Thwing, to organize at the Denlson Hotel, last night, an Indiana Alumni Association of graduates of the university. Dr. R. E. Haughton, of Richmond, was elected president of the new association, and James A. Rohbach, dean of the law school of the University of Indianapolis, was chosen secretary. Among those present at the meeting and participating In the alumni dinner at the Denlson were President Thwing, Hugo Logan, of South Whitley; Dr. Haughton and others. Letters were received from graduates of the Western Reserve University living in various parts of Indiana expressing regret that the writers could not be present and wishing long life to the association. The old university of which Dr. Thwing Is president is one of the best known in the country. It Is the pride of northern Ohio, and has turned out some of the most famous men of that State. Of the Western Reserve University a Harvard professor once said: "It is the best college in the United States." The university is made up of Adelbert College, the Woman's College, the Cleveland Medical College and the Raekus Iaw School. President Thwing delivered an address yesterday at the opening of the foundation day exercises of Indiana University. This morning at 1 o'clock he will talk to the students of the law school of the University of Indianapolis, and this evening he will address the Contemporary Club on "Changed Conditions in Social Institutions and Movements." RILEY F. WHITE'S ARREST ClIAHOED WITH EMBEZZLING $70G FROM NEW YORK STORE. He Changed Sales Tickets to Suit His Own Needs Arrested In KentuckyAvenue Resort. Riley F. White, forty-five years of age. living at 2207 East Michigan street, who had for eight years been a salesman at the New York Store, was arrested last night by Detective John Morgan and charged with the embezzlement of about $700 from his employers. He confessed to stealing about $100 during the last four months. He was employed in the blanket department In the basement, and his shortage is the result of changing- and. making original sales tickets to show sales of less amount than the exact sum collected. The managers of the store have known for a long time that there were irregularities in the sales tickets in that department, but, on account of the large number of clerks employed there, were unable to easily detect the thief. A few day ago a ticket made by White was taken to the basement, when some question as to Its correctness arose. For several days after that he habitually came late to work, and Monday made the excuse that his wife was ill. Yesterday he did not arrive until about 2 o'clock. He said his wife was ill. He remained in the store only a few minutes ar.d went away, leaving his overcoat and umbrella. He was being watched, and his sudden departure made those who were watching him suspicious. The manager s-ent for Detective M.-vgan. who waited about the store until at ut 6 o'clock for White's return. He thought White would return for his coat and umbrella or send for it. About 6 o'clock a negro called at tho store for the articles and they were given him. Morgan followed the negro to 127 Kentucky avenue, a house which has for years been a disreputable resort. There White was found in a half-drunken condition lying upon a bed. He was taken to police headquarters and charged with embezzlement. He Is married and has several children.

WILL USE THE BRIDGES

31 EM HER OF THE nOAKI) OF WORKS HE COM ES I M) I (J X A XT. .Michigan Street and Kentucky Arenne Structures Necesnnry to Traf. flc Municipal Affair. It was stated to member of the Board of Public Works yesterday that the County Commissioners are reported to be against the use of the West Michigan-street and Kentucky-avenue bridges for heavy city traffic, and that they may ask the board to take action relative to a change. The member got somewhat indignant. He said: "If any sane man can suggest to the Board of Public Works a plan by which street cars, wagons and foot passengers can get to the west side of White river without using those bridges, the board would consider it a valuable favor. At the present time we have no other recourse than to allow traffic over the bridges mentioned. As soon as possible the new bridge will be built, but until that time, no matter what the County Commissioners may or may not do, the board will use the two bridges. It Is foolish and impracticable to say that the board ought to take some action about the matter. What action could be taken? We are confronted with an emergency and we must deal with it In the best manner possible. As to the safety of the structures, I am not alarmed, and 1 do not think Mr. Nelson Is. He has not rendered a formal report, but he will probably do so. I have no doubt that the bridges are stanch." STREET IS CROOKED. The Work Ilonrd NVill Order Capitol Avenue Straightened. Property owners living on North Capitol avenue between Thirty-fourth and Thirtyeighth streets have endeavored for some time to have an order issued by the Board of Works that will result in having the crookedness of that part of Capitol avenue removed. As a result of an Investigating trip made yesterday afternoon by members of the board, the petition will be granted and the order issued. The construction of Capitol avenue between the streets mentioned Is very much at fault, the board found, and the property owners anxious that the street should be straightened have good grounds for complaint. The board found that seven houses on the west side of 'the street are practically in the street. By order of the board they will bo moved back on a line when the improvement is made. Thomas Harrison, a real estate owner of the neighborhood, is interested in the improvement. PROTECTION FOR FOUNDRY. Doard of NVorka Decides to Order "Water Main Extension. After Inspecting the new foundry plant that Is being constructed on West Washington street near the tracks of the Vandalla Railroad, the Board of Works yesterterday came to the conclusion that It should be afforded increased fire protection. The nearest water mains to the plant are on Harris street, about three squares distant, and the owners of the foundry think the board should order new mains constructed nearer their buildings. The board will probably order that one or two mains be put in close at hand in view of the size of the foundry and the fact that it will be In constant danger from fires. Mr. Charles Bieler and others are interested in the new foundry which, with its sheds, will cover four acres of ground when completed. Kamlnsky Files a Rond. Contractor J. M. Kamlnsky, to whom the Board of Works awarded the Job of removing the debris of the old Washingtonstreet bridge, yesterday filed his bond with the clerk of the board. It is indorsed by a surety company, and is In the sum of $5,000. In addition to the heavy bond Mr. Kamlnsky binds himself to the proper performance of the contract and the payment of the sum specified $512.50 to the city by depositing a certified check for $1,0. FOWLER WATER WORKS JUDGE RAKER REVERSES THE DECISION OF SPECIAL MASTER. The Town "Will Have to Tay Hydrant Rentals Foreclosnre of MortKage Ordered. Judge Baker, of the United States Court, yesterday afternoon handed down an opinion in the suit brought by the Fidelity Trust and Guaranty Company, of Buffalo, against the Fowler Wrater Company and the town of Fowler. The suit was to foreclose a mortgage for $30,000, securing bonds of the water company to that amount. The principal contention was whether the franchise of the water company, containing an agreement of the town of Fowler to pay a specified rental of forty-nine fire hydrants was valid and enforcible. Tho town attempted to defeat the hydrant rental contract on the ground that the franchise was passed as a part of an unlawful scheme to buy the water works by having a company organized to build the works, have that company issue bonds and then convey the works to the town subject to these bonds. The town claimed this was an unlawful attempt to evade the constitutional limitation forbidding the creation of a debt in excels of 2 percentum of the taxables of the town. The caso was heard by Lewis C. Walker, as special master, -who found in favor of the town in his report to Judge Baker. The trust company filed exceptions to the master's report, and these exceptions were sustained by Judge Baker, who reversed the finding of the master. Ji-dge Baker Jiolds that the ordinances of the town cannot be modified by oral evidence of such a scheme if one existed; that the Town Trustees had authority to make the contract for hydrant rentals, and that this contract was not affected by the act of the town In taking a deed for the water works property after the mortgage and bonds were issued. The effect of the decision is to compel the town of Fowler to pay rental for the hydrants. A foreclosure of the mortgage is ordered by Judge Baker and the water works will probably be sold. This is the same plan that was talked of for the Indianapolis Water Company some time ago and more recently for Irvington. a he attorneys for the trust company were Horace S. Oakley, of Chicago, and W. II. Latta. of this city. For the town of Fowler the attorneys were Judge B. K. Elliott and W. H. H. Miller. The amount of the mortgage with interest will be In the neighborhood of $35,Ow. AUTO CABS IN SERVICE. Handsome Xew Vehicles of the Indinnapolis Transfer Company. The first automobile cabs ever used In Indianapolis were put Into service yesterday by the Indianapolis Transfer Company. The day and the condition of the streets were hardly auspicious for the introduction of a new idea In public transportation, since wet snow and slushy streets are not pny better for automobiles than they are for ordinary vehicles, but the first day's use of the handsome new cabs was very successful. They were pretty generally patronized at tirst partly for the novelty of the thing; then because of the fast, comfortable service. President John E. Morand, of the company, has put Into operation a charging plant especially for charging the batteries of the cabs owned by his company and the Frank Bird Transfer Company. If neces-

sary the cabs may be driven fifty miles on one charge, but the usual practice Is to renew the charge after fourteen or fifteen miles of service. The cabs are very handsome In appearance. They are enameled in royal blue and gold and are driven by a motorraan in uniform. The present charge for the use of the new cabs is $1.50 per hour. The cabs are stationed at the Union Station and at the regular stands. THIEVES ARE BOLD.

Stores In the Dotrn-Tovrn District Itohhed of Valuables. The jewelry store of Lon R. Mauxy, at Pennsylvania street and Massachusetts avenue, was entered by burglars early yesterday morning and stock to the vale of about $4 taken. The glass In the door was broken sufficiently to allow entrance of an arm. after which the door latch was easily pulled back. Most of the goods taken were of high qualitj-, the cheaper kinds being left untouched. The greater part of the most valuable stock was in the safe, which was not attacked. Thieves also entered the One Dollar Hat store on South Illinois street and took, ; besides a few hats, three $1 bills which I were In the show window. ! INDIANA LUMBER DEALERS ANNUAL MEETING OK THE ASSOCIATION HELD AT GRAM) HOTEL. An Interesting Paper by Secretary Freeman, of the Forestry Board Officers Elected. The annual meeting of the Indiana Hardwood Lumber Dealers' Association was held yesterday in the parlors of the Grand Hotel. When the organization met in the morning routine matters were quickly disposed of. In the afternoon Professor Freeman, secretary of the State Board of Forestry, delivered quite a lengthy address on "The Relation of Forestry and the Lumbermen." Professor Freeman said In part: "The forestry question which is now being introduced and agitated should Interest no class of industrial people more than the lumbermen. They must look to the forests for the lumber to carry on their business." Professor Freeman, by a number of illustrations explained to the organization the reason why forestry should be carried on. He then gave the figures from the reports of the United States Bureau, showing the enormity of the lumber consumption. He said that 25,000,000,000 cubic feet were used during one year. "As for Indiana's share," he said, "tne exact figures cannot be given.. But, according to reliable Information, Indiana stands fifth in the production of lumber." Professor Freeman said that virgin poplars, walnut, ash, oaks and cherry no longer existed in abundance in this State. "You, as lumbermen," he continued, "know more of the condition of the timber supply In Indiana than I. You, as actual dealers, know of its scarcity in reality." Professor Freeman further said that at the present rate of consumption of timber, if no steps were taken to help forestry, the supply In the United States would not last sixty years. The reading of Professor Freeman's paper and his array of statistics was followed by a general discussion. It was generally conceded that what Mr. Freeman had stated was very grave and steps should be taken to co-operate In promoting forestry. At the close of the discussion the following officers were elected: President 8. Burkholder, Crawfordsville. Vice President J. V. Stinson, Huntington. Secretary J. M. Pritchard, Indianapolis. Treasurer Charles H. Barnabee Greencastle. The following directors were appointed: J. C. Wood, Mundo; Henry Maley, Kdlnburg; B. F. Swain, Seymour. A committee was also appointed to look after railroad transportation for the Indiana delegation to the national convention, which meets in St. Louis Maj- 15. The members are: W. W. Knight, John Clark and Guy Hawkins, of this city. The purpose of the Indiana delegation at the St. Louis convention will be to look after a revision of the rules providing for a national Inspector for hardwood. Before adjourning the members of the association adopted resolutions approving Professor Freeman's paper. NEW RECRUITING OFFICER. MaJ. Herbert S. Foster Arrives In Indianapolis. Major Herbert S.
