TIMES BlREAir, AT STATE CAPITAL. Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 4. Thomas Taggart and Governor Ralston have both takn a hand In the legislative situation, and they are now Insisting that the legislature hurry up and push things along. - It was not until yesterday that the Governor showed hs hand, but he has done it In an effective though Inoffensive manner. He called the leaders of both houses and showed thorn the necessity for quick action on the important bills. He tola them, too, that he thought they ought to finish up heir work, and adjourn not later than the second day of March, which would be more than a week ahead of the regular adjournment date. As a result of this conference with the Governor, it has been announced
that the Democratic party measures will be shoved along, and tome ot
them may go through, .this week Speaker Cook told the House before ad
journment last evening that he would
hand down the Spencer public utilities commission bill for second reading to
day, and that it would be put on its passage about Wednesday or Thursday.
The Senate Democrats are ready to roretve the bill, and they will put It through over there also, unless all signs fail. Registration, primaries, clue sky, publication of franchises before they
are granted and amendment of the corrupt practices act are on the slate for passage In both houses since the conference with the Governor yesterday. There was a lineup in the Senate, yesterday afternoon, on the tenement bouse bill. This is regarded here as one ot the most progressive of all of the so-called progressive bills that hare been Introduced. It provides that all tenement houses shall have plenty of air, light and sanitation, and lays down the system by which this Is to be brought about. The bill was passed by a vote of SS to Senators Kistler and Hauck, both Democratic leaders, fought the bill with all their might, and tried In every way to emasculate it so as to make it useless, but they failed, in their purpose.
Kistler even appealed to the Democrats to kill the bill as a matter of democratic party policy, but this appeal failed. Senator Greenwell, of Allen county, was one Democratic senator that voted against the bill. - Two years ago a similar bill was before the Senate and it was killed on the last night of the session by one vote. Brig. Gen. McCoy, adjutant general of the Indiana National Guard, appeared before the Joint meeting: of the ways
and means committee of the house and the finance committee of the senate last night and asked for an appropriation of money with which to recruit three machine gun platoons and tao buy the ma-
"rtittie arums."
AVERAGE YOUNG MAN" HAS SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT CANES;
'CARRY ONE ON SUNDAY AND FORGET BUSINESS OAiiES," SAYS HE
He said that the Indiana national
guard probably will be called out for
service in Mexiso lifter the fourth of
March, and that it will need these guns
and men. whether Gen. McCoy wa giving away a state secret when he
said that is not known.
A joker has been found in one bill in the house. It is a bill to provide that
a township trustee 'may purchase. ISO
worth of goods of any class without
advertising for bids. This sounds in
nocent enough, but it is discovered that there are twenty classes of goods which trustees purchase, and the trustee could buy $50 worth of each class every day if he wished to do so, thus doing away entirely with competitive bidding. As soon as the house committee discovered the attempt to "slip something on them" the bill was killed. Senator Ballou has Introduced a bill for the appointment of a county health officer in each county and a city sanitarian in every city with a population of more than 20,000 population. The officials would receive salaries of from $1,200 to $2,600 a year and the city : sanitarians would get from $2,500 to
$2,700 according to population. Senator Greenwell, of Allen county, has Introduced a bill providing for a referendum vote by any city on the
issue of vlty bonds for the purchase of park lands or river banks. The Democratic senators will hold a caucus tonight and adopt their program.

We hauled out and dusted off the editorial "we." Thus armed we set forth to Interview the Average Toung Man. "We saw you wearing a cane in the park Sunday," we says, speaking up bold like that. "Getting pretty flossy, ain't you?" We thought we'd kid him a bit. "Getting to be quite a popinjay quite a 'petit maltre'." The A. Y. M. yawned once or twice just to show us we couldn't fuss him. Then he brought forth the "makings" and rolled a ctgaret. It's one of the best things he does. "Lay oft that hghbrow stuff, will you? It gets in my hair. Especially
the French. French is very poor taste except on menus. You just called me a name in French what was it?" " 'Petit maltre." That's what you might call a dandy, an exquisite " " a molly, eh? One of these 'never-fear-I-am-here-to-protect - youboys." Whoops! : Just because I carry a cane, too. You wife-beater:" "Average Young Man, tell us all about canes. They are being twined more and more, we notice. Aren't we becoming rippingly English?" "Every young fellow with a cane on a Sabbath afternoon, who looks like a son of the rich, isn't a $12 clerk." said the A. Y. M. "Some of them ARE sons
of the rich. However, quite a few of
them are clerks. By carrying a cane three hours on Sunday the clerk can forget for the nonce that he's a menial, a serf. He finds it a stimulus or as a balm to a hurt spirit. He impersonates the pampered offspring of a bullionalre and returns to another week of servitude refreshed. The average young man likes to stall, I admit. He has a native taste for ease and elegance, and a cane on Sunday afternoon is his golden opportunity." "This is true of all young men?" we asked. "All young men except soda water salesmen. They are hopeless because they comb their hair that way on purpose."

wish to strike, and do not believe that there will be any such action by them, as they all seem well satisfied. The wages of laborers have already been raised, and increases in every department are pending. Conditions at this mill have always been open to inspection, and no cause for a strike could
be found In this mill, so far as I know. Superintendent James English of the Republic said: "I have heard that there
was an undercurrent of discontent among some of the men, 'and decided to . discuss with them the questions relative to their dissatisfaction. I did not wait for them to come to me, but -sent for them. They met me most manfully and straightforwardly, and stated their grievance. They wanted an increase in wages. The laborers were getting 18 cents an hour and we agreed to pay them two cents more which makes a twenty-cent scale. ' This without any controversy. The increase will not end here. It is the intention to increase the wages of al- ' most every man in the mill who earns
at present thirty-five cents or less an hour. Under these condition?, I do not think 'the men here will figure they have any cause for a strike."

While alighting- from the auto pa
trol last night in front of the Indiana Harbor police station. In company
with a number of companions all of whom had been arrested on the charge of riot, a short while before, a foreign
er, whose name the police did not learn, j slipped and fell on the Ice. The man j wos so seriously injured that Dr. Frederick Sauer -who was called toe.ttend him, ordered his removal to his boarding: house, 137th and Cedar street, instead' of locking him up in a cell in the police station. The injured man had been drinking, and. this is believed to have the wagon. Jn falling;, his head struck the curbing and It was thought his skull might
have been fractured. With the injured man In the wagon were Steve Gurley, Steve Barco, John Awando and Steve Mesta. All five lived together In the same boarding
house, at lS7th and Cedar streets. They ; had been drinking together and 'arrived, somewhat the worse for their conviviality, at their boarding house. Finding the doors closed they pounded on them and in other ways noisly dfc-
! manded admission. The boarding bass
refused to let them in, fearing a worse disturbance inside, and as tney eontnued their boisterous conduct the police were summoned. Thus far the demonstration made by the quintet had been merely "an argument" and the police after warning them to keep quiet left without making any arrests. Iater, however, they renewed their disturbance and on being railed a second time the police bundled
all the offenders into the patrol wagon and took them to the station.
Athough action was not taken on many matters that came up for discus
sion at the meeting of the East Chicago
city council the meeting was Important owing to one or two Important things that were brought up. The discussion centered largely around the question of better fire protection for the Twin cities. The question was brought up without recommendation from the board of public wnrlfM slthnnch the members of this
YmAv y,A nnVnn nf It at it moetina-. crossing me m.
The board preferred that the council 1 should deal unprejudiced, with the .
situation.
The plan for better fire protection in
cludes three important features. These are the Installation of an automatic
fire alarm system, a new auto engine for East Chicago, similar to the one
now provided at the Indiana Harbor station, and a hose house at Calumet with all of these improvement East Chicago and Indiana Harbor could expect, great reduction in insurance rates, "r those which now obtain. A re-appropriation of $7,000 to be given to Henry C. tFrlck as damages against his property by the running through It of a road to "Whiting, was made. The sum was appropriated in 1912. but as payment on it was not due until now and the law requires that all moneys appropriated be paid out within the year in which the appropriation is made, it was necessary to make a second appropriation.

date conflicted with the meeting night ot the Gary University club of which many of the madlcs are members. It Is possible that the meeting will be
held some evening next week.

debate and over at the Medical club most of the doctors deserted it for the livelier doings at the University club. A BAD FIRE. There was quite a blaze in Indiana Harbor at 7:20 o'olock this morning, when the two-story frame house at 3S24 Beech street was damaged to the extent of nearly a thousand dollars. The loss on furniture will swell this sum several hundred dollars. The building was occupied downstairs by Marlon Stlmbuski and the upper flat was the home of Steve Wazcik. The loss on the building and furniture In the lower flat was covered by insur
ance, but Sazcik carried no insurance on his household goods. The fire started In the basement among some rags and hay with which the water pipes had been wound to keep them from freexlr.g. The fire department had trouble in locating the scene of the blase and this had gained considerable headway before they got to work on it.
