MULLALLY, wErJJ5S2l" 28 Monument Place, FRIENDS FOR PEACE; SERIES Of AOORESSES Prof. Elbert Russell, of Earlham, Says Spiritual Force Is Better than Resort to Arms. PROXOUXCED IN VIEWS The first of a series of four addresses at the First Friends' Church to express the doctrines of the Friends that war is unnecessary and unjustifiable was delivered la?t night by Prof. Elbert Russell, of Richmond, head of the Biblical department of Earlh:im College. His subject was "Peace as Related to the Christian Character." Prof. Rviss 11 w is v r pronounced in his views when he said that while he realized the horrors of war. ye- If It were the only way to overcome evil ne should believe in it. "But." said the speaker, "I do not believe it Is the only way. The very sense of Christian ideal and method provides a better way to eradicate it. Jesus Christ believed In eradicating evil by spiritual force, and those Spiritual forces won the world through the cnse." Prof. Russell spoke of the great war that was waged for two centuries and a half With the Roman army, which had a prstiffe of eight enturis of victories on the one side, and the army of Christians, with only a spiritual force on the other. Yet at the end of one of the fiercest struggle? the World has ever seen the initials signifying the name of Christ were placed behind the Roman Emperor's throne, showing th.it Christianity had conquered without the use of arms. The speaker thought that all war could be averted by the intervention of spiritual force. He. Bui.! that while the civil war did away with slavery, which was a great thing, yet. If some time before the outbreak of the war the spiritual force had been used the slaves would have been giv. n their freedom, and the differences beta the North and South would have been settted for all time, whereas they now n maln unsettled. In speaking of the late Spanish American war. Prof. Russell said that if wo had had a Christian regard for the welfare of Cuba oar government w'.;U have called for missionaries twenty year? ago and sent half f them to Spain and the other half to Cuba to teach Christianity. By this method the Speaker thought the war could have been averted anl Cuba would then have beeu self-governing and self-sustaining. Prof Russell closed his address by saying that as long as we dep. 11. 1 on Jails, pe nitentiaries, policemen and sheriffs we go our way in pea . f .-ling that if a thief a;ets into the house he will be arrested and sent to thr penitentiary. "But the thing we should do," said the speaker, ' is to tea-h Christianity so that th. re will be ho thieves and no need of the Jail or penlThe second ad.lres? of the serl will be delivered at the church on Tuesday evenIan.

which there are one hundred LAWMAKERS OF THE CITY Will MEETTH1S EVENING Committee Will Not Be Ready to ! Report on the Theater Ordinances. TALK OF APPROPRIATION According to Council prophets, the meeting of the city's lawmakers this evening will be a quiet one, with nothing now in sight to disturb the peaoe ol' the session or to prolong it beyond the time required for a routine meeting. The committee on public safety and comfort will not report the theater fire protection ordinances that have been referred to it. although the committee has met once since the last Council meeting to consider the matter. It has been decided that tho best course is for the Council to await the introduction of the special ordinance known ns the new building ordinance, and which is expected to fully cover the fire protection question on public buildings of every description. The Council will this evening appoint one of its members as a member of the building ordinance committee, composed or architects, contractors and others, including the city building inspector and tho Are chief, which is preparing the ordinane that will be submitted to the Council within a few weeks. President BiHingsley, of the Council, last evening expressed himself as in favor of the Council appropriate a sum of money to cover the expense of this committee's clerical work. The building ordinance committer is meeting frequently, and a number of the busiest men of the city are giving their time to its work, without any reward other than a consciousness that they are performing a service for the city that will tell for immense good In its future, in the improvement of its architectural features and the safety of human lives. Whatever expenses in the way of clerical work that may arise must be borne by the members of this committee, unless the Council makes a special appropriation for the purpose. "The city." said President Blllingsley. "ought really to make an appropriation of about $200 to pay for the clerical expenses of the committee. It is doing an important and useful work, and it would be only right for the Council to recognize that fact and do what it can to aid It. It is an unusual thing for men like those in the committer to do a service such as they are doing without any reward for their time and iabor." LOCAL SOCIALIST IX PARTY'S STATE COUNCILS Offices of Political Organization Will Now Be Removed to Indianapolis. r. the resignation of James O'Neal, of Terre Haute, William Bowlen, an active Socialist of this city, has been made secretary of the State Socialist party.

The State headquarters of the Socialist party has been located in Terre Haute, where Mr. O'Neal has had full charge. However, under the change of management, they will be transferred to this city. The location of the offices has not yet been decided upon.

DEATH CLOSES ACTIVE CAREER ONU SHIDELER Prominent Insurance Man Suddenly Expires at His Country Home Near Indianapolis. COINCIDENCE IN DEATH

End Comes Soon After Passing of His Friend, Justus C. Adams. Following close upon the death of Justus C. Adams, who had been a life-long friend, David Bowers Shideler suddenly passed away at his suburban home on West Forty-third street at 3: JO o'clock yesterday morning of heart failure, as already announced in the Journal. Mr. Shideler had been ill for some time, but it was not believed by members of the family that death was imminent. Just before the end Mr. Shideler called for water and died after drinking it. Mr. Shideler and Justus C. Ad aaaf had been stanch and true friends and the similarity of their deaths is regarded as a coincidence. The early life of the deceased was a constant struggle against reverses and hardships, but was always characterized with an unusual amount of zeal and perseverence. He was born on a farm in Grant county Jan. 15, 1S3S. and lived there until attaining his majority. He obtained his schooling in the winter and at seasons when it was impossible for him to work on the farm. His education was practical and was accomplished by his own efforts. IS FIRST A BLACKSMITH. At the age of twenty he left the farm and became a blacksmith for a few years, when he began as a merchant at Jonesboro, Ind., with his brother. It was while f llowing this vocation that his life woric became apparent. During the quiet seasons of the year he solicited insurance, and his proficiency led him to leave the storeroom and devote his whole time to writing life insurance. In August, 1S74, he moved to Indianapolis, where he became State agent for the Equitable Life Insurance Company, and with this company he remained. He led the company's agents, and in one month wrote policies to the amount of half a million dollars. The energy that was characteristic in all his work was evident in his political career. He was one of the hardest-working members of the Republican party. He cast his first vote for Lincoln In lKtlO and has v. 1 since that time held true to the party's principles. In 1982 he was defeated on the Republican ticket for the State legislature. His Interest in the party was always sustained. He was loyal to the principles of his party, not because they bore the Republican stamp, but because he believed they were right. He studied well the issues of every campaign, and when he believed that his party was taking the wrong move he was not slow to express himself. PROMINENT IN LODGES. One of the greatest pleasures of Mr. Shideler s life was his work among lodges. He was a member of the Knights of Pythias, an Odd Fellow, a member of the Scottish Rite Masons and a thirty-second degree Mason. In 1875 he was grand master of the Grand Lodge of Indiana of the I. O. O. F., and represented his State three times in tho Sovereign Grand Lodge. He was past grand chancellor of Indiana for the Knights of Pythias and a member of the Supreme Lodge. K. of P. He was also a member of the Commercial and Columbia clubs and of the Board of Trade. In all these organizations he took an active part. One of his personal characteristics was his loyalty to his friends. Five years ago Mr. Shideler purchased a tract of land near Fairview. Here his last days were spent. Practically all farm work carried on at his late home was directed by him. Mr. Shideler was married three times. His first marriage was to Miss 11na (irieer in 1857 and the second to MIfs Sarah J. Eziston In lSfcl, both of whom are .bad. In 1878 he was married to Miss May Moore, of Franklin, who survives h'm. John E. Shideler, assistant postmaster of Indianapolis, and George A. H. Shideler also survive their father. The funeral services will be conducted from Mr. Shideler's late residence, near Fairview, to-morrow at 2 p. m. The services will be In charge of the Scottish Rite Masons, but committees from all the orders or which ne was a memoer win De present. The Rev. Dr. Lucas will preach the funeral sermon, and the burial will be at Crowu Hill. TWO BOOZE PURVEYORS ARRESTED BY. POLICE While two saloon keepers on the outskirts of the city were arrested yesterday, not one of the saloons In the down town district was bothered. In almost every alley there was a plain path in the snow, made by the feet of the thirsty ones as they flocked to the side entrances. Patrolman Tomlinson arrested Nick Hoffbauer, a saloon keeper at 11 Hillside avenue. Hoffbauer was slated for having a gambling device in the shape of a slot machine in his place. On the slate in the turnkey's office the saloon keeper was not charged with a violation of the Nicholson law. Sergeants Hagerman and White yesterday made a personally conducted tour and William J. Harrington, saloon keeper, was arrested. Harrington had a slot machine and was also charged with violating the Nicholson law. Lecture on Klondike. Dr. Kellogg, of Central-avenue, will speak at the Broadway M. E. Church on "Alaska and the Klondike" to-morrow evening. The talk will be illustrated by pictures taken while the speaker was in the gold mine district. Admission free. TO BMR A THAW Weather Bureau's Prediction of Another Cold Wave Come True. The decided thaw, that got a good start yesterday morning and the continuation of which was expected to do great damage by Hoods and Ice gorges, met with a rebuff yesterday afternoon and retired incontinently, giving place to more freezing weather. The weather bureau s prediction yesterday morning was for a cold wave, with the temperature dropping from 15 to 20 degrees by this morning, which would mean 10 to 13 degrees above zero. At 7 a. m. yesterday the temperature was 30 degrees above zero. At 7 p. m. it had dropped to 18 above, with indications pointing to a further drop. Immediately west of Indianapolis the temperature was a little lower, while in Minnesota and the Dakotas it was below rero. Farther to the northwest. In Montana and Wyoming, it had risen again, giving indication that the cold wav may be of short duration. Light snowfall wa. noted in all of these localities.

AGAIN

Street-Car Employes Will Be Asked to Join the Interurban Movement.

ORGAXIZED IX SECRET Facts Made Known Only When Fortified to Enforce Its Demands When Xecessary. Within the past three weeks there has sprung into existence in the city a new labor union, which promises to be an Important factor in the local labor world. It is a local union of the Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Railway Employes, and includes in its membership practically all motormen and conductors employed on interurban lines running in and out of Indianapolis. The organization of the local union was kept secret until the members secured their ( harter from the Amalgamated Association. Even yet very few working people know of the existence of the organization. The charter was granted about ten days ago, and the new union is now a local of the Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Railway Employes. LOCAL MEN MAY JOIN. Although at present the organization includes in its membership only employes of the Interurban roads, its ultimate object is to work among employes and include all conductors and motormen working in the city. If this Is successful, the new local will have a membership as large as any union in the city. There are on the local lines about 800 men employed both as conductors and motormen, while over 100 are employed on the interurban roads. This will make a membership of nearly 1,000. The organization has but begun its growth. At present it's membership Is about 100, the Increase since Its inception having been rapid, even beyond expectations. Carl Black, a motorman on the Muncie line, is president of the new local, which has a meeting every Tuesday in Morrison's Hall. MAY HAVE THOUSAND MEMBERS. Several men on the local lines, It is understood, have been consulted concerning the union and are enthusiastic in their desire to become members. While It may take several years to bring the local street car employes into the union, it is believed that within that time Indianapolis will have as perfectly organized an association of street railway men as is allied with the Amalgamated Association. An attempt was made several years ago to organize the street car men on the local lines. A union existed for some time, but Its growth was slow and its life not prosperous. It came to an end by members losing interest and falling apart. However, from present prospects, it is not anticipated that the new organization will have such a career, as the members who have Its welfare in hand are enthusiastic union men and determined to bring the employes of the car lines together. POLICE BELIEVE KEESLIXG IS WANTED Authorities of Minneapolis and Seattle Notified by Local Officers. Tn Elmer Keesling, who was arrested, along with two companions, yesterday by Detectives Splan and Haley, tho police believe they have one of the most notorious pickpock ts and hold-up men in the country. Nothing is known of the two men arrested, but they will be held pending an investigation. The police say Keesling is badly wanted in Minneapolis for a hold-up jnh, and also at Seattle. Wash., for picking pockets. Several cities in Iowa also are anxious to get the prisoner. Keesling denies ever being in Seattle, and says he was arrested in Minneapolis for a hold-up job, but is not wanted there now. The authorities in the cities wanting him have been notified of Ms arrest here.

LEGALITY OF CONTRACTS CONFRONTSPARK BOARD Difference of Opinion Prevails Among Officials About Anticipating Revenues. OPINION OF MR. KERN The question raised at last Friday's meeting of the Board of Park Commissioners by Hiram Brown, president of the board, as to the legality of the contracts made last September with August Wacker for the construction of shelter houses at Riverside and Military parks has aroused considerable discussion. Mr. Brown's contention is that the city charter prohibits the board from contracting for the expenditure of more money for improvements than is available for its use by Council appropriation at the time the contract is made. When the contracts in question were made the Park Board did not have enough funds in the year s appropriations to pay for them, but depended on what it knew according to the statement of Col. M. A. Downing, now president or the Board of Public Works, but then president of the Park Board the Council had appropriated for its use this year. An opinion rendered to the park commissioners on June lö. 18U9. by John W. K i n. then city attorney, is of interest as bearing on a question identical in every essential particular to the one now raised by Presl- (! lit Brown. At the time Mr. Kern, rendered his opinion the Park Board was considering the advisability of constructing the Riverside dam, which would cost more than the board then had An hand from the j annual Council appropriation. Mr. Kern's opinion was as follows: "It is my opinion that your board has the right to enter into contract for park improvements to be constructed during the present year to such an extent as would cause an expedlture of the funds in your treasury, and if a" part of the contract for tue dam cannot be completed until 11K your board can pay that part that is to be completed in 19U0 out of the funds available for that year." City Attorney Henry Warrum stated to a Journal reporter yesterday afternoon that, while he had not been called on for an official opinion on the question raised by President Brown, he f. It that the law passed by the State legislature of 1899 creating the Indianapolis Board of Park Commissioners was simply amendatory to the city charter, making the Park Board subject to the same regulations regarding the expenditure of funds as those by which the other executive boards of the citv -ire bound. J AN EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT. "My judgment," said Mr. Warrum, "Is that the Park Board is one of the executive departments of the city government, and as such is bcund, as other executive departments are, to contract no debts and incur nc obligations beyond the amount that the City Council at the time may have appropriated for its use; that under the charter it is exclusively for the Council to say to what extent the funds of the city shall be disbursed by the different executive departments; that if any attempt is made by an executive department to obligate the city beyond the amount the Council has appropriated to its use for such purposes, that attempt is void and not binding on tho city." There is a general impression among those citizens who have given the matter thought that the Board of Park Commissioners, because of its nonpartisan character, and the long tenure of its members should not be governed absolutely by the hull -splitting distinctions that some charge Mr. Brown with having made. The fact that the board, when it made the contracts for the shelter houses at Riverside Park and Military Park, knew that the work would not be completed last year, and that It also knew what the appropriation for its use for this year was. is in the minds of many, sufficient ground for its action in making the contracts, which were warranted in the light of the opinion rendered the board in 1899 by City Attorney Kern President J. H. Billlnsley. of the Common Council, voiced this opinion last evening. "The Park Board," said he, "knew absolutely, almost, what funds were available for the building of the shelter houses, and had no hesitancy in making a contract for a matter that was practically an emergency, knowing that the Council was In sympathy with it and would take care of It." Mayor Holtzman seemed of the opinion that, the board's action was open to question, and so stated last evening, but added that the solution of the problem would rest with City Attorney Warrum. "I haven't any doubt," said the mayor, "that the Park Board believed It had a right to anticipate its appropriation for the following year, but as to its rights to make a contract and do so under the charter, I have serious doubts."

A ROMANCE OF

LIONS of the LORD

By HARRY AUTHOR OF THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE: 1 The Lions of the Lord ' is an immensely impresive tory. Without affectation, without strain, without caricature, it affords a picture of the flight into the wilderness, and of the men who converted that flight into a purposeful and ultimately triumphant conquest, which has not hitherto been equalled." THE BOSTON TRANSCRIPT: " Heretofore no novel has dealt so vstally with the history, the scenes, and the characters of Mormonism, and no predecessor has so clearly struck the keynote of its comedy as well as its fearsome tragedy. Joel Rae, the hero, is one that may not soon be forgotten."
