PLAN TO SELL 40 CITY FIRE HORSES Motorization Renders Former Equipment L T seless.

Forty fine horses, once the pride of the firemen at various fire stations, now stand idle and disconsolate in their stalls because they have been replaced by motor tire fighting monsters. Because the forty horses are eating Just as much as they did before they were replaced with ten Stutz motor pumpers, which the board of public safety has accepted delivery on from the Stutz Fire Engine Company, the board will take immediate steps to dispose of them. City Purchasing Agent Dwight 8. Ritter announced today. The first step ifi their sale was taken yesterday when judge Harry O. Cham berlain of Circuit Court appointed appaisers to fix not Only the value of the ninety-eight horses in the fire department which are to be replaced with motor equipment but also all the wagons, trucks and other unnecessary equipment which the board has on its hands. The appraisers are J. J. Schmid, real estate dealer; A. B. Carter, head of the horse division of the Indiana State Fair and Roy Zaps. attorney. They will make their as quickly as possible and report to Mayor Charles W. Jewett. Mr. Ritter said. The sale 'date will be fixed shortly thereafter. Several sales probably will be held since It is desirable to get rid of the horses as fast as they are replaced with the motor apparatus. Five of the best aniamls will be turned over to the mounted police to replace old horses, Mr. Ritter said. Ten will be disposed of to the board of park commissioners. A betttc p.ri£e can be obtained by shipping some of the animals to eastern buyers, Mr. Ritter believes, and this probably will be done. Ice and coal dealers are expected to bid for the horse drawn hose wagons and local theaters are said to be interested in purchasing some of the horse drawn ladder trucks for conversion into scenery wagons. The city budget for 1921 includes an Item of $22,800 for horse feed for the fire department. Mr. Ritter said that gasoline and oil cau be bought for the motor equipment for the full year and a surplus of $12,000 be left In the fund If the horses are sold soon.

Nott after he had been stabbed to death while “Jazz” tunes were played on a pianola to drown his cries. Mrs. Nott and John E. Johnston will be tried separately when Wade's case is disposed of.

Mrs. Nott's head dropped lower and lower aud soon her body was convulsed with sobs. Finally she uttered a muffled moan and slumped forward in her seat. Two deputies sprang forward and assisted her from the room.

Wisconsin's SIO,OOO Inaugural Ball Sets Whole State Agog Opponents ip Politics Say Expenditure Lavish; Churches Start Investigation. MADISON, Wls., Jan. 4—The inaugu ral ball, said to have cost slo,<X>o, today took Its place la Wisconsin politics, ranking In importance with Victor Berger's Socialism and Robert Lafollette’s attitude during the war. Madison society folk, who recalled the last formal Inaugural ball eight years ago. raised their eyebrows over List night’s informal affair, at which 10,000 persons danced and not even the color line was drawn. The boll followed Governor John J. Blaine's Inauguration. Authorities at Wisconsin University who have been trying to squash the "shimmy" and “toodle" among students, investigated the report that 1,000 undergraduates danced the way they pleased In obscure nooks of the Statehouse while the few chaperons lounged in the executive offices. Churches which successfully opposed the iuaugurul ball during Governor Phßlipp's administration, started a quiet Investigation of the affair. The report that the Milwaukee delegation brought Its own liquid refreshments along was being given considerable attention by the church officials. Political opponents of Blaine declared the ball a “lavish expenditure” of State money.

All of the candidates with the exception of Senator Strode were active about the hotel lobbies and all of them fairly radiated confidence. Representative Milteuberger deelured that the statement that Mr. McClure has fifty-two pledged votes Is “all foolishness.” “How many votes have you pledged?” he was asked. “X have enough to put mo over. Just remember that," he replied. Mr. McClure expressed the same sentiments. The Lake County delegation, with five voles, will support Representative McClure for the Speakership, it was announced. Lake County is in the Tenth district, which Is Governor-elect McCray's home district, aud this is nn additional reason for the support of its delegation.
