FIRST WARD MEETING CALLED iti.ias' mehtim; iv flaskamp's HALL TO-MOHHOW M(.IH. Water Company Will rump Water to Irvlngton-ntltrr .Municipal Affair. A movement is on foot looking toward a reduction of the rate proposed by the Indianapolis (Jas Company and the Consumers' (Jas Trust Company. Councilmen who are in favor of meters but who believe that the 2T-cent rate is excessive are discussing the advisability of the committee on contracts and franchises holding a conference with the officials of the gas companies to see if the companies will not accept a meter rate less than the one proposed. They believe that If the committee could obtain some assi ranee from the gas companies that a compiomlse would bo accepted, the whole matter would be greatly simplified. With the possibility of an agreement on the rate Issue, the committee would then be free to devote its time to ascertaining whether meters at any price would be better for the Interests of the people than the present contract tysttm. They say, too, that uch a conference would not bind the committee to any course of action towards the gas companies, but would serve only to dispose at once of a vexed question. A councilman who believes that meters must sooner or later be made compulsory, but who "balks" at the 25-cent rate, talked to the Journal yesterday on the proposed conference. He stated that he did not wish to be quoted for the reason that his attitude mljrht be misunderstood. He said: "It seems to me that the qpestion as to whether the companies will accent 11 modification of rate should the committee decide to recommend the ordinance is paramount at this time. What In the world would be the use of considering the meter question at all if the gas companies stand flat-footed and spurn any rate less than cents? We might as well throw up the whole business at the start. This is an issue In which It looks to me that both sides must make some form of compromise. Thousands of citizens may have to back down, in a way. on the question as to whether meters shall be made compulsory; and on their part the gas companies ought to hold themselves ready "to meet the people half way with a reduction of rate. Thtir announced policy of accepting no compromise is not calculated to advance their ordinance through Council. A DESIRARLK CONDITION. "Rut on the other hand, if they woulj agree to meet with the Council committee ami after a businesslike discussion and Investigation of all the details of the whole quest ioTi would agree to compromise th rate question on a basis to be settled latei the committee would have then something to go on. The public generally would change its attitude and. thousands of persons who have announced themselves as aeainst gas meters without careful consideration would modify their views. This statement of the companies that they will adhere to the proposed rate and the threal of the Indianapolis Gas Company to withdraw May 1 If meters at 25 cents are not given them tends to antagonize people. It puts the gas companies in the attitude ol the little girl who said: 'If I can't have my own way I will take my doll rags and go home. First of all. I am of opinion that the companies should announce to the people that they will accept a compromise if it can be shown that gas by meter can be furnished without los3 at 3 rate less than 25 cents. "I have talked to several councilmen," he continued, "and I find that they hold the same view on this point. They don'l care to have their names in print for the reason that constituents might Jump to th concluslon they were going to vote for meters at any price, but they favor some sort of a conference as the one I have in dicated." Councilman John L. McFarland is one of those who believe that the 25-cent rate is too high. Mr. McFarland will prepare an amendment to the ordinance providing for a lower rate. He is not certain, he says, until he investigates the matter further, whether his amendment will provide for a rate of 20 cents or of 15 cents. Mr. McFarland believes that progress could be made in the consideration of the matter if the gas companies would stand ready to accept a compromise. Councilman Hoillday, who introduced the meter ordinance, holds the view that the proposed rate is excessive and may also introduce a rate amendment. It is said that Mr. Holliday Is one of the councilmen who advocate a conference with the companies, but as he was out of the city yesterday the staement could not be verified. In addition to these there are several Democratic members who favor the proposed conference. They stand ready to vote for meters. It is stated. If a lower rate can bi obtained. GAS-COMPANY MEN. John R. Pearson, of the Indianapolis Gas Company, and John I. Frenzel, of the Consumers' Gas Trust Company, said yesterday that they had not heard of the movement for a conference. To the direct question as to whether they would meet the committee half way both stated they preferred not to be Interviewed on that point. In the Journal last Monday morning Mr. Pearson made this statement In answer to a question as to whether the Indianapolis Gas Company would agree to fix a lower mttt r rate than 25 cents: "1 have nt) hesitation in saying no," said Mr. Pearson. "From my knowledge of the attitude of President Hastings and the demands of the stockholders 1 am confident that nothing less than a 25-cent rate could be accepted." "Support that a Council committee wer to be appointed to arbitrate the rate question with a committee from your company, and the whole matter came down to a questlon of agreeing on what rate should b rhargtd, would there be a posibility of Mr Hastin-s's decision being changed?" "No, again," said Mr. Pearson. "Thcom; any has figured the question of rat down to what I consider the lowest under which it could maintain business In Indianapolis. I want to say that the letter we sent to the Council is not a bluff, in any senre of the term; it is a plain matter-of-fact statement of what we consider our position and Just needs. The company has figured closely on the rate; it has not gone into the question in haphazard fashion. We ask the officials and the people in a business-like way to give us meters at a rale which we know positively is not excessive." WAT KR FOR IRVINJiTON. It Will II Pumped Through Main f the Water Company. The question as to whether Irvington is to be supplied with water through the mains of the Indianapolis Water Company was settled yesterday afternoon at a conference with the Hoard of Public Works and officials of the water company. The board was assured, it is Ftted, that water tan be pump-! to Irvington. and that the grade is not too great to be overcome with eae. A partial agreement was reached by the hoard and the romiiny for the putting in of a main from Rloyd avenue to Washington street, a distance of Jt) feet. The main will supply thirteen plugs. The -t st to the city annually will be Jd per piug. The route of the main Is not as direet as the board would like to have it and it may be change 1 If a more direct line can be found. The iuetlon of extension of mains for city service was also discussed, although

nothing was decided ujon. The board 1? in receipt of many applications for new fire piuRs and a number will be ordered. The board has power to order extensions amounting to 2.') feet annually, although j in view of i slim appropriation it is not 1 probable that any such extensive extensions ; will he ordered, l.ast vear the old board !

exceeded the appropriation for the purpose. THHMIVM. FHANCnilSK REQITST. Work Hoard Will Make a Tour of the Street To-I)ay. Preliminary steps towards a settlement of the Interurban terminal question will be taken to-day by the Hoard of Works and the mayor. The officials will drive over the streets asked for in the petition of the Interurban Terminal Company, and with the data obtained will proceed to an answer of the request. Among the streets to be Inspected to-day are North Pennsylvania street, Rellefontalne street, Rarth avenue. Market street. North New Jersey street. Ohio street and Delaware street, all of which are asked for by the franchise petition, and the use of which is vigorously opposed by resident property owners. Major Megrew said yesterday that it was not certain an answer would be returned ( CO N T I N U E DÖN PAGE S, CÜITT) YOUNG GIRL'S INFLUENCE IT CAlSi:S A CRI.MINAIi TO WALK IXTO ARMS OF T1IK LAW. Red" Flnley Iteturna to the City, la Arrested and at Onee Viaited by Ilia Sweetheart. John "Red" Finley, the notorious, is in the toils again. Finley is wanted this time for burglary committed on the night ol Oct. 2, llXjl. He confessed to Captain Hyland yesterday afternoon. Finley Is eighteen years old and lives at 102 Geisendorff street. Finley, In company with the notorious "Senator" Moran, who is now serving time In the Jeffersonville Reformatory for the same crime with which Finley is charged, entered the drug store of Dr. John Rhodes, 730 South West street, during the evening of Oct. 22, 1001, and while one kept Dr. Rhodes's attention the other looted his cigar and tobacco case. Dr. Rhodes discovered the trick In time to catch Finley. Moran escaped. Finley, with his usual show of injured innocence, succeeded in gaining his liberty before the police arrived. Later In the evening the MoranFinley gang attempted to blow the safe In the office of the Indianapolis Street-railway Company. Moran was caught In the act, and, with a number of minor factors In the crime, was sent to jail. "Red" Finley escaped. Moran was sent to the penitentiary. Finley left the city and is saii to have been in Chicago. There is a tint of romance connected with "Red" Finley's return to Indianapolis. Old pals connect the name of a pretty sixteen-year-old girl living on West Pearl street with his return to this city to answer to the charge of burglary and petit larceny. Finley had made up his mind to keep away from Indianapolis. The pleadings of his sweetheart to return home and suffer arrest and punishment were effective, and early yesterday morning "Red" alighted from a Dig Four freight train and returned to the hearth of his girl sweetheart. Ricyclemen Hull and Alberts were apprised of his return, and they found him at his sweetheart's home. He was taken to the police station and presented to Captain Hyland. "What! Rack again?" exclaimed the captain. "Don't it look like it?" snarled "Red.'J "I believe it does," continued the captain. "I suppose that you are going to deny being implicated In that job at Dr. Rhodes's. are you not?" "You ditln't hear me deny it, did you?" "Wei!, it would be like you to try to make us believe you and the 'Senator' were Innocent." "I didn't say I was Innocent, did I?" "No." "Well, what else do you want me to say?" "Oh. that's enough." And the red-haired leader of South West street's most notorius gang of boy toughs was taken away to jail. The jail door had hardly slammed when a pretty miss of sixteen summers, with a red Tarn O'Shanter perched jauntily on a head of waving brown hair, appeared in the turnkey's office and asked to see Mr. "Red" Finley. Turnkey Lowe observed that she carried a bundle. "What's that?" asked the turnkey. "Coffee for 'Red..' " she replied. Turnkey Lowe opened the wicker door and "Red" hurried from his cell to accept a pint bottle of hot coffee from his sweetheart's hand. Then began a whispered conversation between "Red" and the girl that lasted over an hour. "That's 'Red's sweetheart," the policemen would whisper to each other as they eyed the pretty miss, whose left arm rested on the cellhouse door. Every now and then a cheery laugh would break from her lips and the prisoner and his girl seemed to be oblivious of the fact that their trysting place was a prison door, it is believed that the girl wants "Reil" to serve his sentence, reform and marry her. UNDER A SYCAMORE. A Gancr of Hoya Rounded t'p hy Patrolman Scrilmer. Amos Clark, lfK)7 Columbia avenue, and Arthur Reed, 1715 Yandes street, both boys, were arrested yoterday afternoon by Patrolman Scribner and charged with loitering. The boys are said to be leaders of a gang that plays havoc with the apple barrels of grocers in the vicinity of the Atlas engine works. The gang was in rendezvous under a large sycamore yesterday when Patrolman Scribner swooped down upon them. Three of the boys escaped. The police say the boys have been a constant source of trouble. When Clark was searched by Turnkey Lowe a lart'e brown bowlder was brought from his pocket. "What are you doing with that rock?" asked the turnkey. "That's my lucky stone." answered Clark. "How do you figure it to be a lucky stone? You're in jail with it now. That's no luck," added the turnkey. "Well, I found it about a year ago in Fall creek and I've always carried it. It's never sone back on me for luck before." said Clark, us he proudly placed it back in his coat pocket. The stone Is worn smooth from being handled. It weighs about six ounces. DOUTHIT IN TROUBLE. He Took 111 Own Child by Force the Other Day. Austin Douthlt. living at 513 Warren avenue, was arrested yesterday by Detectives Kinney and Lancaster and charged with housebreaking. Douthit's is a peculiar case. The real charge against him is kidnaping. Last Saturday he drove to Fairland. Ind and stole his child from his former mother-in-law, who has been acting as Its guardian. Douthit's first wife tiled while the baby was only a few months ohl. His wife's mother immediately took the little one and cared for it. It is now four years old. Douthlt married again some time ago. anil when he sought to have his child returned to him his former mother-in-law refused to give it to him. Then he decided to take it. Injured 31 en Ilroacht Rome. A. R. Edmunds and J. R. Carr. mail clerk and baggageman, respectively, on the Rig Four train wrecked at Wolworth. Tuesday nisht, were brought to this city yesterday.

Newlln chairman and Otto Neerman secretary and treasurer. After the reorganization the committee on resolutions made its report, which is as follows: "We, the Prohibitionists of Marion county, in convention assembled this 9th day of April. 1!02, reaffirm our allegiance to the principles set forth In the state and national Prohibition platforms of V.) and adopt and submit for the consideration of the voters of this county the following declarations as to local issues, upon which we feel we are justified in asking for the votes of our fellow-citizens for the candidates this day nominated, who. if elected, will carry out the letter and spirit of these declarations: "1. The Supreme Court of Indiana .has repeatedly declared a saloon a nuisance. Immoral and against the best interests of the public. The retail liquor traffic is the source of more crime, ill health and pauperism than all other causes combined, and thus becomes the greatest financial burden on the taxpayers and the greatest disturber of the public peace and public morals. The Supreme Court of the United States has declared: 'No Legislature can bargain away the public morals or the public health or the public peace.' We therefore declare the licensing of a saloon unwarranted, and pledge our candidates for county commissioner, if elected, to refuse to grant a saloon license, and we confidently believe the courts will sustain them in such refusal, as they have been brought to outlaw lottery and other Immoral institutions. "2. We pledge the citizens of the county that If thev will elect the candidates on the Prohibition ticket they will enforce all laws rigidly and impartially, Instead of 'reasonably and liberally to please some profession or faction whose political favor Is desired in the future, as has been the custom, no matter which party has been in power. ";$. We declare our conviction that the reason that prohibitory laws do not prohibit the crimes proscribed, no matter whether gambling, lottery, those relating to the liquor traffic or any other crime, is that the officials in power of their own choice or at the dictation of the party which elected them do not attempt to enforce the laws nor will they allow their subordinates to try to enforce them. No law will enforce itself, and a party should be placed in power in this country which wishes all laws enforced and Is in no way under obligation to the law-breakers, and which is unwilling to accept revenue paid for exemption. "4. We denounce the political cowardice of county commissioners who spend the people's money to employ experts to foot up the totals of the stealings of former county officials and then neglect to bring suit to recover the money stolen from the taxpayers, as they have done in recent cases. We pledge our candidates to conserve the people's money by an economical and honest administration of all offices and to recover the money which has been stolen by former officials. "5. We condemn the unwarranted methods which have prevailed In choosing juries favorable to the law violators who are friends of the officials concerned. "6. The citizens of this county owe it to themselves to rebuke the political parties which have elected county clerks who have persistently favored the lawbreaklng liquor men by failing to collect from them the money due the county from bonds and tines. "7. We declare our conviction that the burden of taxation should be relieved by a reduction of salaries of officials to such compensation as is given for similar responsibility and service in private business. "S. We believe that the qualification for office in both the Republican and Democ.atic parties in Marion county is partisan political activity and fealty to the party machine. We pledge that the qualifications of our candidates shall be their business capacity, and that their interests shall be for the public welfare rather than for the emoluments of office or the strengthening of the party organization. "?. We denounce the methods used in th-? recent Republican primary election in Marion county as demoralizing and corrupt and an insult to every self-respecting, lawabiding citizen. No political party should receive the franchise of honest men whose candidates resort to such methods. We declare that the overthrow of the express will of the people by unjustifiable methods in the South is not a greater menace to popular government than is the overthrow of the express will of the people by the improper use of money in the primary. The expenditure of money, in seeking nomination and election, in sums often equal to the salary of the office, we declare to be an infallible badge of corruption, ami should receive the rebuke of all honest citizens. "10. We deplore the system of secret commissions used in securing public contracts and charge that specifications for public work are often made so exacting that honest men know they cannot comply with them, and that contracts are let to favorites by low bids, which are given with the secret understanding that the specifications are not to be fulfilled. Thus competition in bidding on public contracts, is destroyed, the people's money wasted and public officials corrupted. We solemnly pledge the Prohibition party to opposition to these evils. "1. We believe that the Judiciary of our county t-hould be entirely divorced from politics, so that any who hold the responsible position of Judge or prosecutor phould In no way be influenced by political Interests. The right of all litigants in our

II

courts should be held Inviolate and free from political bias. "The salutary results attained when the Superior Bench of Marion county was divided politically by common consent of the Republican and Democratic parties warrant us in expressing the hope that all political parties will unite in a movement to nominate candidates for all such offices in primaries of all the people. "Acting upon our convictions in this matter, we, declare our intention to refrain from notninating candidates for these offices at this time, and until we are convinced that we will not be offered the opportunity to vote for competent men for these nonopolitical positions." CONVENTION'S WORK. The work of nominating a ticket occupied little time, as the men selected were generally supposed to be acceptable to the party leaders. John R. Henry, a minister in one of the South Side churches, was chosen as the nominee for Congress. This Is Mr. Henry's second venture as a candidate for this office, and yesterday, in his speech of acceptance, he said that this year it would be much different from his former race, since he would win. He said he felt that only one candidate would have any likely bearing on his race, and that would be Jesse Overstreet. and before election time Mr. Overstreet would realize that he was "stumped" for re-election. The work of the convention having been disposed of, W. H. Roles, of the state Prohibition committee, was Introduced. Mr. Boles, in a caustic manner, arraigned the municipal authorities and also the. preachers. To the latter he devoted some little time, saying he would rather talk temperance to a crowd of saloon men than to a crowd of preachers. By the former.

he said, he would treated wltn civility, while the latter would subject him to insults. The preachers, he said,' are nearly all of ODlnion, when a man talks prohibition to them, that they are as good as the speaker, yet say with a loud voice, "Good, good!" "They are afraid to get up in their pulpits and preach prohibition." said Mr. Boles, "because they have not the backbone to let their congregation know on which side of the political fence they stand. The preachers in the large churches, where the greater part of the congregations is composed of Republicans, will discuss prohibition when they are in a prohibition meeting, but they are too cowardly to speak of it In their pulpits. The trouble with the preachers Is that they are too much afraid of their salaries." Mr. Boles also condemned secret societies, which, he said, were organizations composed of liquor-drinking men. During Mr. Roles's address there were a number of preachers in the room, who showed no sign of approving his remarks, while the remainder of the audience was much elated. The Rev. J. R. Henry, candidate for Congress, when he arose to talk at the close of Mr. Roles's address, first called attention to the remarks Mr. Boles had directed toward preachers. He said in an emphatic manner that he possessed enough "backbone" to get up In his pulpit and talk prohibition, and that all his parishioners knew on what political principles he stood. Jasper L. Hughes, of Chicago, formerly of this State, also addressed the delegates. A Nicht Man Meeting;. The mass meeting of the Prohibitionists in the Criminal Court room last night drew a good -sized crowd. The room was comfortably filled with white-ribbon enthusiasts. Dr. W. H. Boles, whose sensational utterances have aroused the ire of the old parties, was the principal speaker of the evening. He devoted two hours to an attack on the old parties and the ministry. His bursts of sarcasm won applause from the Prohibitionists in the house. Dr. Boles reviewed the new Philippine liquor law at length and alluded to the late President McKinley while commenting on it. Boles did not directly attack President McKinley for signing the measure, but he took an indirect slap at Mr. McKlnley's advisers. He asked what "strange power" it was that influenced President McKinley to license liquor selling in Manila. Some prohibition enthusiast In the audience yelled: "The capitalistic power," but Mr. Boles did not accept this suggestion. Qunrreleil in n Saloon. Walter L. Blocher, 1403 Charles street, and Henry Hake, 6ö South Pennsylvania street, were arrested yesterday afternoon by Ricyclemen Hull and Alberts and Patrolman Dolby, charged with drunkenness. Hake and Blochcr met in an East End saloon and began drinking. They accused each other of misdeeds, and Blocher declared that Hake had a purse containing $1.80 that belonged to him. The wrangle wound up by the arrival of the police. Judge Stubbs will determine which is the honest man this morning. . j RIG FOUR ROUTE.
