.....i.UO, 1UU., JM 0. At a
meeting of the Protestant Ministers' association of Indianapolis yesterday at the Deniaon hotel, which is owned by Thomas Taggart, came in for a severe denunciation because of the orgies that were carried on in the cafe of that hotel on New Tear's eve. A committee of the ministers was appointed to call on the city officials and ask them why such actions and such flagrant violalations of the law are permitted in this city. , It Was a Wild Night. New Tear's eve was a wild occasion in the Denison cafe. All .the tables were reserved weeks in advance, and in the crowd that filled the place at midnight to welcome the New Tear were some of the best-known people in the city and many that move in the best cJrcla of. society.- But champagne flowed like Water. Hundreds of bottles of "bubble water" were emptied, and before the New Tear arrived It was a well filled crowd. !
All Became Acquainted. Men and women, hitherto strangers, became the best of friends. Many of them held hands and talked sweet to each other, while husband sat by and paid no attentoin. One prominent young lawyer became unruly and a negro waiter hit him On the head with a champagne bottle. The negro Is under arrest and will be tried for assault and battery next Saturday in the police court. One drunken man stood near the door and kissed many of tho women and they left the place, and no one Interfered. Paper Prints Story, The story of the doings was printed in a local paper on New Tear's day and created a sensation. This was followed by the arrest of the negro waiter. Testerday the ministers took a hand in it. The Rev. Albert Hurl-
sione, pastor of the Roberts Park M. E. church, arose in the ministers' meeting and said: "We have had our attention called from time to time to the scenes In low dives in this city. Recently we have ahd exhibitions of lawlessness in some of the so-called respectable places. Something should be done to prevent the repetition of the disgraceful scenes that took place at the Denison house in bringing 1 nthe New Yeaf. A great deal is being done to demoralize the youth of the state. We as ministers should speak out on this subject." Want Drastic Lefcialatlon.
The investigating- committee annoin

01 tne.nouse committee having Jurisdiction will meet Wednesday to consider the subject in accordance with a notice sent out today by Chairman Theodore E. Burton. Mr. Burton practically said today that In view of the deficit in the treasury, the declining receipts, and the uncertainty as to the volume of revenues that would follow the enactment of a new tariff law, it would be the part of wisdom to make no appropriations for the improvement of rivers and harbors at this time. There are several members of the committee who believe that a bill should be passed, but the indications are that a majority will side with the view taken by Chairman Burton and the house leadership. Although Mr. Burton will soon be named to succeed Joseph B. Foraker as senator from Ohio, he will serve out his present term in the house, which expires March - 4 next.

Enter another rough-and-tumble debater from Indiana. If there were an advance program of the performance to take place In the house of representatives during the remainder of the session a note would be made of the special features just indicated. A Representative Crumpacker, who is a rough-and-tumble fighter without a superior, will withdraw from the debates in the house and Representative .William E. Cox is expected to make his debut as a lively participant in the proceedings. It almost breaks Crumpacker's heart to have to separate himself from the conflicts on the floor of the house, where verbal Javelins are continually
hurtling through the air, and where the spear of the average representative knows no brother. His services on the ways and means committee during the framing of the tariff absorbs all his time, however, and he will make no effort to keep up with the progress of other legislation, much less to participate In the running debates. Most of his time will be spent in the ways and means committee room, far removed from the scene of conflict on the floor. One of Most Formidable Members. Crumpacker has long been recognized as one of the most formidable men in
