LAST OBSTACLE REMOVED

NOW READY FOR BUILDING

Change Made in the West Second Street Viaduct Agreement to Suit the Railroad Company Actual Work to Begin Soon.

The only obstacle in the way of building the viaduct over the West Second street crossing by the Pennsylvania company was removed yesterday afternoon in a conference between the members of the board of works and J. Lt. Rupe, attorney of the railroad. The original agreement it will be remembered was ratified by

the city council in December, and for

warded to the general counsel of the

company. The agreement came back

to Mr. Rupe the other day with the

statement that it would be acceptable

with the insertion of a- clause which

would require any traction or street

car company that might in the future be granted the right to build a line

under the viaduct to bear the ex

pense of such changes as might be necessary in the crossings. As there will be 13 feet between the street

and the proposed bridge the board

readily assented to the insertion of

the aforesaid clause, and that ended

the conference.

It is understood that the company

will begin work on the new viaduct

without further delay.

Claiming that God instructed him to burn the town of Smithfield, W. Va.,

an under sized man. who gave the

name of Harry Howard, was arrested there as he was emerging from the Bane hotel. It is reported an attempt was made to fire the hotel and at v.ae

same time three other buildings, the home of V. A. Lewis, cashier of the Smithfield bank, the Smithfield gen

eral store and a billiard hall burst into flames. The fires were extin guished with small loss. Howard resisted arrest and before he was captured shot four men..

After he was placed in the lock-up

a mob attacked the building lor tne purpose of lynching Howard, but the crowd was driven off and Howard was

brought to the county jail here. The

men wounded by Howard were Earl

and Grover Hlldebrand, W. E. Smith,

chief of police, and Charles Edgell, a constable. The Hildebrand brothers will probably die.

PREHISTORIC MAMMOTH TO BE SHOWN AT SEATTLE. The projectors of the Pacific northwest's next exposition, the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific show at Seattle in 1909, are preparing a piece de resistance in the shape of the actual remains of a prehistoric mammoth. This specimen was discovered in Alaska last summer. It is all there hide, hair, hoofs and tusk Taxidermists have mounted Mr. Mammoth for his appearance in front of the Alaska building during the exposition. The specimen, of course, was frozen in ice, and even the flesh was intact. The accompanying picture shows the relative size of the human and the mammoth skeletons. The elephant of the present day is said to be only a degenerate descendant of the mammoth.

er. Tomorrow morning the republicans will confer before the session convenes and will decide upon what course to take. The Farber motion will probably be declared out of order when the senate convenes. Though

nothing could be told by an outsider that the battle this afternoon bore any relation to the fractional fight between the Fairbanks and Beveridge wings, any person familiar with the senators positions on this question,

did not have to be told how the divis

ion was being made. The Beveridge-

ites seem to be the minority in the senate but it cannot be told what

strength they will muster when it comes to a final show down.

Members of both senate and house

who have felt that the attacks on the metropolitan police law would be fu

tile, were both surprised and alarmed today when the house on a test vote

gave the metropolitan bill a hearty kick. The minority report of the committee on cities and towns, indefinitely postponing the bill by Mr. McCullough to take the appointing of police com-

misioners from the hands of the governor and place it in the hands of the mayors, precipitated the expected fight on this measure. It was signed by Chairman Morgan. Mr. Carmichael, of Muncie and Mr. Baltzell of Evansville. Mr. McCullough, speaking for the bill, said it gave the cities home rule which all important cities desired. Mr. Carmichael said it would be best to continue the appointing power in the governor's hands, at least, while city officers, elected under the present law, are in oflice.

"There is not much in this talk of 'home rule' said Mr. Carmichael. The governor is specifically with the enforcement oi the laws, and it is not strange that he should have the power as well as the duty." Mr. Honan, floor lader of the minority, said: "This is purely a business matter. The gentlemen from Delaware virtually admits that this bill

would be a good law two years from now. The law has been in force for a number of years, and, "as a rule has worked all right. But for some years

now it has caused turmoil and disturbances in the state. This is simply because the appointed officers have not worked in harmony with their communities. The bill proposed will end this condition of affairs." Satisfied With Their Police. Mr. Fitch, of Muncie, said: "While the governor appoints the police boards, he appoints men who live in the community and there is as much home rule as under the change proposed. Speaking for one city which now operates under the law, I would say that we are satisfied with it. "In all cities there is an element that constantly cries for 'home rule.' You find it is usually the element that desires an 'open' town." Mr. Baltzell, speaking, he said for Vincennes. which is in his district, declared that that city has had the best of government under the present law. Mr. Garrard, from Knox county and the city of Vincennes,- challenged Balt-zell's statement. "The majority of citizens in Vincennes are not satisfied with police conditions," he said. "The chairman of the present hoard of commissioners is a ma- who failed two years ago and settled for 25 cents on the dollar, and another member is collection-proof. The chief of police is absolutely incompetent," "I say," said Mr. Behymer, of Elwood, "there is not a community of 10,000 in this state which is not competent to govern its own affairs." Mr. Dwyer of Lake county in which Hammond is located spoke for the bill. "This bill has been characterized as un-American," said Mr. Daily, of Marion county. It was enacted " by democrats, therefore It may be un-American. The gentleman from Seymour says It worked all right for some

years under democratic administrations, I presume he means." The Vote on Postponement. The members laughted, called for the previous question and voted down the report for indefinite postponement by a vote of 34 to 59. There Is no concealment of the fact that the representatives of the railroads operating in Indiana are "visibly affected" by the action of the senate yesterday in advancing the Bland two cent fare bill to engrossment after stripping it of the cash, fare pen

alty clause, the one thing which the railroads requested should be embodied. It also is true that some of the members of the senate who were emphatic in their declarations for the passage of a two cent fare bill, but who believed the railroads were entitled to some consideration, believe that it was a mistake for the senate to not have permitted the measure to retain the one provision that the railroads asked and which, it was asserted by these senators, could in no way have affected the general purpose of

the bill two cent fares. It will not be surprising if an attempt is made to amend tne bill in the senate when it is called up for third reading, so

that it shall In some form or other provide a means whereby the traveling public will be induced to purchase a ticket rather than to pay cash on the trains. The vote by which the Kirkman amendment was adopted yesterday, however. Indicates that it will be difficult ,- embody the penalty feature. If the Bland bill reaches the house in the same shape as it now stands, the railroads will make au effort to impress the committee to which it is referred, the importance of tneir claim that some safe-guard should be provided in behalf of the companies who practically have not opposed the reduced rate agitation.

There is a movement on toot, and the promoters thereof say that it will be pushed with vigor among the business men of Richmond to add a new feature to the attractions at Glen Miller park during the coming summer.

A number of progressive citizens have

come to the conclusion that there should be a band concert in this beautiful breathing spot at least once a week, and they believe that they will be able to raise a sum sufficient to defray this expense between now and the beginning of the heated term. They anticipate a liberal contribution

for this purpose from the Richmond Street Railway and Interurban company, as this corporation would derive great benefit therefrom. "Such a movement should receive tne hearty support of the citizens generally" said a city official yesterday in speaking of the matter. "Weekly band concerts are given in many towns throughout the state that are much smaller than Richmond, and wo should have them by all means. As a matter of fact I have often thought that it was a pity that the various municipalities could not legally set aside a fund for this purpose."
