Van Derbeck showed his teeth yesterby securing an order from the 8uCourt preventing the present ownot the property —the American MrSi 0, A.

C. A. team and the Company E team, of Fond du Lac, recognised as the strongest basketball club west of tho Allegany«mountains, and said by many to be the best team in the United Staten, which wilt be played in the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium Friday and Saturday nights. The Fond du Lac players, who are now making a short trip through the middle States, have been sweeping everything before them and winning easily. They have been saving themselves for the Indianapolis games, as they realise, from past experience, that their hardest games on the trip will be-those played in this city. The Indianapolis team visited Fond du Lac last month, and made a brilliant showing against the champions, although defeated in both contests. The local players were handicapped in not being used to playing Inside a net, and this greatly interfered with their effectiveness. Since that time, however, they have overcome that difficulty, and Manager Hardin and his men are confident that they will win at lean one of the games in the series. Manager Hardin and coach West, of the Y. M. C. A. basketball team, are putting the men through a course of training, this week, which is th« hardest they have ever attempted. The men are required to work inside the netting eighty minutes each evening, including to-night, with three ten-minute Intervals of r6st. Last night the regular team played the Butler College and High School teams, and Monday night, in addition to forty minutes’ hard practice, played the regular High School team a full game, beating the younger players by over 50 points. A double-header will be played to-night, and Thursday night the men will practice handling the ball and taking it off

the net, >«

In addition to the big games each evening, the Butler and High School teams will face each other. These two teams are evenly matched and both will be well-

equipped with "rooters.'

[anager Hardin has arranged seating accommodations in the gymnasium for too people, and there Is plenty of standing room in addition to that. He expects the games to draw much larger crowds than any other basketball contests ever

held in this city.

Gossip About the Game.

Fleming, who has been feeling badly for several days, Is back In the game again and playing In his usual brilliant style. If Indianapolis succeeds in winning one game from Fond du I«c it will be the second time that team has ever been defeated. Coach West is paying particular attention to detail for the Fond du Lac games and every indifferent pass or throw Is noticed and the players reprimanded. While the Fond du Lac players are here Manager Hardin and Manager Bugger wilt discuss the plans for the proposed basketball league, which has been proposed for next season. The strain of a double-header told on the Y. M. C. A. men, last night, and they weakened toward the close of the second contest. Eighty minutes of play in the net is aa much strain as seventy minutes of the hardest kind of football practice. The Y. M. C. A. team will finish its practice games to-night with another double-header. The members of the athletic department are as much interested in the outcome of the Fond du Lac series as college students are In a championship football struggle. The practice games of the Y. M. C. A. players have attracted many visitors to the gymnasium this week and the Improved play of the meh has been particularly noticeable. Now that they have mastered the intricacies of the net, their speed has been almost doubled. The Fond du Lac games, which will be played here Friday and Saturday nights, will undoubtedly be the beat basketball games ever played in this city. Indianapolis, though defeated last month at Fond du Lac, made an excellent showing against the thamplons, and since that time'the local players’ havfc Improved greatly in their play. _. -v ;; ' V £. ■“> The Fond du Lee players are used to playing with the net, and during the games with that team, the only stops will be when fouls are called. With both teams playing a fast, clean game, this will not be often. The game requires even more endurance than docs football, as there is always a 'Tief reel In the latter while the n-en sre Hnluu up for a scrimmage or when a player is knocked out. The Y. M. C. A. basketball team defeated the Butler College team, last night, in a practice game by a score of M to 8. The Y. M. C. A. players also took the High School team into camp by a score of 88 to IS. The result of the High School game was not satisfactory to Manager Hardin, and, according to the handicap which the Y. M. C. A. men have put on themselves, this week, was a decisive defeat. They agreed to beat the High School players by at least 50 points in each game. Last night they finished only 18 points to the good. INDIANAPOLIS CLUB WON.

firs ever since the McOovern-Jordan contest, which was to take place in London on Derby day, was declared off several weeks ago. Qus Ruhlin and Jim Corbett will box a few friendly rounds before the Akron, 0., Athletic Club, Friday night. Akron is Ruhlln’s home and the heavyweights will stop off on, their way to California. 53 Charles Broasman, trainer of Imp, the fastest mare on the track last year, has begun training her for the coming season. She Is rapidly getting into shape and promises to be faster and stronger than

ever.

Tod Sloan reached New York yesterday on his way to England. If he can obtain passage he will sail, Saturday. He says he will ride in the Washington Park derby and the Suburban and Metropolitan handicaps. Tom O’Rourke still wants Sharkey to take on a match with McCoy before the bout with Fitzsimmons, which will be arranged Monday, as he says It will hlghten Interest In that match, but the sailor declares he will not fight McCoy. The police stooped the bout between Freddie Bogan, of Ban Francisco, and Tommy Cooney, of Boston, at Memphis last night in the nineteenth round, on account of a wrangle between the time keepers. The fight was awarded to Bo-

gan.

The Harlem Rowing Club has placed E. H. Ten Eyck, the national single scull champion, on its active membership list. He will not represent that organisation this year, but will row under the Wachusett Boat Club, of Worcester, Mass., colors. Dave Sullivan and "Kill" Broad win meet in a twenty-flve-round contest before the Broadway Athletic Crib, at 121 pounds, March 2. Sullivan has bet $500 on himself. “Tim" Kearns and George McFadden will also have a twenty-five-round go on the same dato before that

club.

Munele practically clinched the Western roller polo championship, last night, when it won the fifth game of the championship seven from Richmond by a score of 3 to 1. The total number of goals now stands £0 to 7, in favor of Muncle. An excursion will be run from Muncle to Richmond, Thursday night, when the sixth game will be played. The Wbodwaril and Shanklin horse sale at Lexington. Ky., last week, was the most successful sale of harness horses held In Kentucky since 1892. The prices for good horses were above the average, but poor offerings were rejected or brought low prices. The attendance of visiting horsemen was larger than for years and Kentuckians feel that the Kentucky horses, either standard or thoroughbred. still rule the world. A. N. Olfford. manager of the Elwood baseball team, last year, was arrested yesterday at Muncle for failure to pay the $10 war revenue tax. and bound over to the United States Court. He pleaded ignorance of revenue law and furnished $200 bond. This is the first case of the kind in Indiana. Gifford was well known in this city as a member of the Butler football team. He was once signed to play second base on the Indianapolis baseball

team.

Probably the hottest fight ever witnessed In Hot Springs, Ark., occurred yesterday, in Whittington Park, between Perry Queenan, of Chicago, and Frank Raefel. of San Francisco. Queenan won the decision at the end of twenty rounds, and it is thought that if the bout had proceeded one more round, he would have put the Californian out. Both men did clever work after the thirteenth round, up to which time the bout was slow, and knockdowns were frequent. Raefel was August Belmont, who witndrew from active participation in horse racing tw< years ago, on account of the death of his

wife, will aga this year. Mi

greater part of his stable last fall, but he already has seven horses in training that are expected to cut some figure in this year’s racing. His Jockey, McJoynt, is considered clever, and his trainer, John Hyland, one of the best. Ortenta, a two-year-old, is one of the best of the seven, none of which are over three years old, and great things

are expected of her.

IN THE NINTH DISTRICT

One of Two Sites in Virginia Avenue Will Be Chosen. Last night, at Fountain Square, there Fa» another largely attended meeting of the men interested In the South Side Oerman House, to be erected in Virginia avenue. A committee on constitution for the organisation was appointed and the general plans for the building were considered. Options have been secured on two sites in the avenue, and within a few days, it is announced, one will be chofien. The building will have all the equipments of a modern club house. One of the features will be accommodations for baths and a swimming pool. Mary Germans of the Southslde are Interested In the project, and next Tuesday night there will be another meeting at Fountain Spuare. Series of Lenten Lectures. The annual praise meeting of the Woman’s Missionary Society of the Tabernacle Presbyterian church was held yesterday afternoon. A collection, amounting to $106, was taken. Mrs. M. P. Clark, Mrs. John W. Kern, Mrs. Charles Ford and Miss Anna Pugh took part In the program. The Rev. J. Gumming Smith made an address. The Rev. J. Camming Smith will give his usual aeries of Lenten lectures this year at the Tabernacle church on the four Tuesdays of March from 4 to 5 o’clock p. m. His subject next Tuesday will be "Is Tennyson’s Tn Memorlam’ Satisfactory?"

SITUATION SINCE LANDIS ANNOUNCED WITHDRAWAL. 6; Chaos and Alarm in the Fifth May Bring Out New Candidates—Democrats Enjoy It. Friends of the Republican candidates for Governor are still speculating over the Ninth district. The Durbin men, since the withdrawal of Landis, have said that they would have a strong following there, as they are well organized in several counties, particularly in Clinton. John L. Griffiths, however, asserts that he will get part of the Clinton delegation, at least a third. As the situation now stands in the Ninth, it looks like an even break for Griffiths and Durbin, but developments within a few days may change It. It Is a question with the leading politicians who are already In line, how much any candidate will be strengthened by the original Landis boomers. No one professes to believe that their support would give any one a “cinch” on the nomination, as was asserted recently. It is coming to be the general belief that they have waited too long, and that, as far as the Ninth district is concerned, neither Durbin nor Griffiths need have fear of the consequences fit the original Landis men are not on their wagon. It has been asserted in the last few days, that the Landis men are now In a position to control 75 per cent, of the 120 votes in the district, but they could not do it without cutting into the fenc that both Durbin and Griffith say have flrriily erected. A prominent member of the organization in the Ninth district said to-day that the candidates have their lines well drawn there, but that a meeting will be held with some of the Landis men and others In order to find out their desires, as the organization does not care to proceed without giving them a voice. He added, however, that It was not probable that there will be much change now. Attitude of the Senator*. In connecdon with the race for Governor the attitude of Senators Fairbanks and Beveridge is interesting. It is said that one of the purposes of the recent visit of Mr. Nebeker to Washington was to find out how they stand, and it is also understood that State Chairman Chas. S. Hernly will call on them with the same Intention during hte coming trip East. So far, the hand of neither of the Senators has been manifest and there seems to be an understanding that they have decided to hold aloof. The announcement that George W. Farts has withdrawn from the race for Congress In the Fifth district caused the first genuine sensation of the campaign. Wiseacres of the party, who pretend that they are never surprised, were as much astonished as the smaller politicians, who never know anything until it Is all over. It was known that Mr. Faris was not a favorite with the elements In' control In Vigo county, and that there was a feeling against him in several places, on account of appointments that had met with disfavor, but it was the general opinion up to a few days ago that he would be successful in getting tbe nomination. The feeling that he could not be re-elect-ed, even though he should be renominated, had been against him, but probably would not have defeated him in the convention without the influence of the Henry crowd. The situation now in the district is more chaotic than it has over been, and unless there is an amicable compromise within a very short time, the interests of the chosen man will be so jeopardized that it will be & surprise if he is elected. McKeen and Henry Factions. The opinion prevails that if Faris is out for sure, that the time has come for the McKeen faction to be revenged on D. W. Henry and his coterie, if they namo Howard Maxwell or any other man for the position. The McKeen men might be reinforced by the friends of Faris, who have heretofore taken no part In the fights for which Vigo county politicians are so well known. The McKeen people are anxious for an opportunity to strike back for the alleged indignities heaped upon them when the county chairman was selected, and if they are unable to name a man for Congress, they may at least rally sufficient strength to defeat any one that Htffiry may propose. This is the situation that has caused a number of the prominent men of the party considerable alarm. It will probably be responsible Jor Quincy A. Blanker ship, of Martinsville, becoming a candidate,which is said to have been his desire for the last two years. It is not unlikely now, it is said, that he will get the Indorsement of the county, as It will have no other candidate. Silas Hayes, of Greeneastle, who was a candidate in ’98, may also get in the race again, and there may be others, but it is not thought that they will have any chance, unless they can get the indorsement of Henry. In the meantime, the Democrats are enjoying the situation, as they say they see In it a chance to carry a Republican district. There is a debbt in the minds of many whether Faris has decided to withdraw’, as he has made no public statement, the information coming from one of his lieutenants.

Another Candidate. The list of Republican candidates for Lieutenant-Governor is growing. The name of Martin W. Fields, of Princeton, who has been prominent for a number of years in southern Indiana politics, is now announced.

Series of Love Feast*. It is probable that a “love feast" wrlll precede all of the Republican congressional' conventions. Charles G. Swain, chairman of the Wayne county Republicans, announces that he Is arranging for a "love feast" for the night before the convention at Richmond. March 8, and James Goodrich, chairman ot the Eighth district, is completing a program of the same nature for the convention at Muncie, March 11

Parks Nominated, John W. Parks has been nominated by the Republicans ot Marshall and Kosciusko counties for Joint Representative. The convention was held at Warsaw.

New State Headquarters. "Lombard building, rooms 82-87,” wrlll be the address of the Democratic State headquarters in this city during the coming campaign. Chairman Parks M. Martin has made arrangements to take the entire front suite on the sixth floor, and the furniture will be removed there

m SIDE MUTES

SOUTH ffT^T AflATW wate FOR COMPLAINT. Second Ward Has a Large Proportion of the Office Huntere—Call For Primaries—Lowe Feast. Although it is said by politicians that the North Side and South Bide questions will play no part In the convention, attention Is being called to the fact that, of the men whose names wrlll be presented to the convention, a disproportionate number are from the North Side. Of these, £ large proportion Is from tbe Second ward. Armin Koehne, who wants the nomination for treasurer: Eugene Saulcy, ambitious to be sheriff; Dr. A. W. Brayton, seeking to be coroner, and Josepb E,. Boswell, asking renomlnatlon to the office of county assessor, all live in the Second ward. It Is pointed out that Kdehne, Saulcy and Brayton are members of tbs slats, and almost certain to be nominated. and that Boswell’s chaacss, though he is not a slate man, are good. So, It is argued, the Second ward is certain to have more than its share of the plums. If the Republican ticket te sleeted next fall. Frank C. Tinsley, opposing Brayton. te also a Second ward man. Pearson Mendenhall and John E. Spratt, who will bs candidates before the towrneblp convention for the trusteeship, live ih the Second ward.

John F. LaFollette, of Portland, was at the Denison to-day. He is an attorney and has been prominent in Odd Fellowship. He said that the Odd Fellows had expected to be ready to dedicate their new home at Greensburg April 1, but the. date will probably be a month later. Mr. LaFollette does not believe that the agreement entered into by insurance companies can be called a trust, nor that the court will rule that the agreement to maintain a rate is an Illegal combination. He was attorney for the insurance companies at Portland in the suit brought by N. B. Hawkins, a banker there, to make & test of this question. The court held that Mr. Hawkins was not a proper relator; in other words, that he could not bring the suit. The main issue was untouched, and Mr. LaFollette says he does not think K will be taken up soon. The proceedings in this case at Portland attracted wide attention, as it involved a question that has been discussed for & long time. Mr. LaFollette said that it Is understood that Joseph Powers, of Portland, is anxious to represent Jay county in the next Legislature, and Is an avowed candidate. David F. Hoover, ex-treasurer of Jay county, is also a candidate. Joseph Bates, of Dunkirk, who disposed of his factory to the window glass trust, last year, and then became superintendent of its pot factories in Indiana, was at the English, last night. Mr. Bates said there are eighteen pot factories in Indiana in the combine and seven tanks. Outside the trust there are twenty plants, including independents and co-operatives. A difficulty that is now embarrassing the trust and independents, Mr. Bates said, was the Inability to get enough men to operate the factories at their capacity, which, he explained, exceeds the number of men available and as the unions will not allow the places to be filled except by their members, there is no way getting around the difficulty. The conditions were caused, he said, by tho erection of new plants, and he anticipates that they will become worse, as several large factories are getting ready to start. Mr. Bates said that the trust is enjoying a good business and he hopes that the fires can be lighted early next nil. W. E. Hendricks, of Martinsville, was a guest »of the Grand, last night. He is k part owner of the large sanitarium at Martinsville, and is now adding new buildings and making a number of Improvements for this year, which he expects to be the best Martinsville has known since it became a summer resort. J. W. Maxim, of Newcastle; E. E. Pittman, of Logansport, and several other spoke amd handle makers are holding a meeting at the Bates House. Carey E. Cowgill, of Wabash, who was mentioned as a probable opponent of Major Steele for Congress in tbs Eleventh district, was at tbs Denison last night. He Is not a candidate for any office now. He said that at Wabash there Is still talk that Warren G. Sayre may become a candidate for Governor, but, as far as he knew, Mr. Sayre has no such intentions. Hs thinks it is tod late for him to enter the contest. Mr. Cowgill believes that Wabash county will be divided in its choice for Governor, as friends of ail the candidates seem to have secured places on the delegation. Hs predicts a larger majority than ever for the Republicans in the county this year. Committee of State Cancers. There will be a meeting of the executive committee of the State Canner’s association at the English Hotel, to-mor-row, at which Several of the leading eanners of Indiana (till be present. The meeting will not be as imnortant as tbe one held here recently, when the schedule of prices was fixed, but J. T. Polk, ot Greenwood, who was here making arrangements, said there would be a number of Interesting matters under consideration.

FRONT ELEVATION OF THE OFFICE BUILDING. L. 9. Dow, president and general manager of the National Automobile and Electric Company, recently Incorporated, In speaking to-day of the company’s proposed plant, said: "We are not aiming at architectural beauty and effect, but our effort bap been to secure a modern factory, built for convenience, tbe economical production of goods and the comfort of employee. The problem of the up-to-date manufacturer now la not how to hits men at low wages, "but rather how to get the beet results out of intelligent and well-paid workmen through the use of^mproved. labor-sav-ing machines. Useless handling of material eats up profit^ rapidly. We win have our manufacturing departments on the main floor of the factory building. We have planned for no back tracks. Our raw material will enter the factory building at the upper end and pass down one side and up the other to an elevator, and when It reaches the elevator the manufactured article will be complete and ready for the painters and trimmers, who will be on the upper floor, as will be the general offices and engineering department. Light, ventilation and room will not be sacrificed to save cost of tesnstruction.

FRONT ELEVATION OF THE FACTORY BUILDING.

“Our general machine shop will be 188 feet long in the clear. Our power house, separate from the factory, will hold the engines, boilers, pumps and a complete electrical equipment, and It te our intention to operate the factory : throughout with electric motive power, generated tn our own plant. We propose to make the factory surroundings as attractive as possible by planting trees and haring lawns and vines about the outside of the buildings. Cement sidewalks will be put down, so that tbe neighborhood wit be glad to see us. All building contracts will probably be let this week. Upward of $100,000 will be spent In this direction at once. In planning for conveniences in and about the

factory, we have had many suggestions from Mr. Clarence Martin chitect. who has shown remarkable originality In grasping the demands. We expect that the factory building will be compl

Bryan to the effect that the Republicans would be wholly on the defenelve on the three Issues of the cam-paign-money, imperialism and trusts—he sale; “I want to say. in answer to Mr. Bryan, that we shall be wholly on the aggressive." The money question, he said, was no longer an issue, for the 16 to I argument had been completely answered by the country’s experience under the present administration. Tbs Republican party, he said, had always been opposed to any aggregation of capital that was a detriment to the people. The way to control eo-called trusts, he said, was to enact laws which would give publicity to everything done by trusts.
