STATE’S COAL BILL $850,000 Different Equipment of Buildings Requires Variety of Grades. Coal for the twenty State benevolent and penal institutions, and the Statehouse and Indiana University for the ensuing year will reach au approximate cost of $650,000, according to Maurice C. Shelton, State purchasing agent. Contracts for supplying the fuel will be let following submission of bids to tha Joint purchasing board April 1. Several different grades of coal are needed for the various Institutions of the State. This Is made necessary by reason of the different kinds of equipment used In the heating plants. One grade of fuel which could be used at the Statehouse cannot be used In the furnaces at the Central Hospital for Insane. Certain grades of coal used In this plant would ruin the furnaces, Mr. Shelton said. This situation has caused an Intricate problem for the members of the purchasing board, and sometimes results, Mr. Shelton said. In the wrong impression being gained by the public. For instance, a certain grade of fuel might be quoted to the board at $2.50 a ton, and because of the peciliar type of heating plant used In some Institutions it would be necesary to turn down this bid and let the contract to a firm which submitted a higher bid, but is able to furnish the particular grade of coal desired. The problem that confronts the board Is the matter of installing in all of the heating plants of the State institutions similar appliances that will be adaptable to the use of the same grade of fuel. The changing of the grates in the heating plants of the institutions at this time would involve an expenditure of probably thousands of dollars, during the prevailing high price period, according to Mr. Shelton. But the installation of similar appliances in the heating plants would result eventually In the saving of many hundreds of dollars each year in the purchase of coal, he thinks.

Beware ‘BossV Squaws Take Up Tomahawk Princess White Deer Says Red Women Will Fight for Vote. NEW YORK, March 19.—A Susan B. Anthony of the American Indian today took up the tomahawk to fight for “votes for squaws.” Princess White Deer, full-blooded Mo- | hawk Indian, Interpretative dancer and j Broadway star, declared there will be a I real red faction at the next Presidential election, If the hopes of squaws are fulfilled. “If the Indian warrior Is content to smoke his pipe of peace in front of a reservation wigwam, the Indian woman Is not—and she will fight her way to the polls beside her pale faced sister,” the princess said In an interview. “The only Impediment that hangs between the squaw and the ballot is fear of heavy taxation. The Indian could have obtained the privilege long ago If It had not been for fear of losing his land —all ihe has left. We believe the iron is now | hot and v, r e are ready to strike. "The Indian has been tossed about as a I political football. He has a little spirit j left, but the I idian woman Is the worker | who will salvage the bulk of redskin | misfortune and win the voting right. This [ I believe would arouse the Indian spirit and make him an economic warrior to rival his fighting ancestors.” Appointment of a redskin Indian commissioner which has been sought in i Washington Is the first step, she said. Princess White Deer is a blood descendant of Chief Kuuning Deer, leader o>f the Mohawks in the French and Indian wars.
