Wayne; Thornton, New Albany; Lleh, Rockport; Racey, Vlncennes, and Foor, Torre Haute, have sent a call to the Democratic members of the House to meet here December 14. The letter follows: It has been suggested that, in accordance with the custom of former years, It would bo well for the Democratic members elect of, the House of Representatives of the Sixty-seventh Genera! Assembly to have a "get together and "get acquainted" meeting t Indianapolis sometime during the month of December. As there is no organization of the members of the House up to this time, it is of course evident that a committee taking this matter in hand must be a self constituted one. We trust, therefore, that no member will think It presumptuous on the part of the undersigned members In calling a meeting on Wednesday, December 14, the meeting to be held at the assembly room, of the Denlson hotel In Indianapolis at 2 p. in. on the day stated. Purpose of Meeting. "While the primary purpose of thin meeting Is to hpve the members of the House meet and get acquainted with one another, yet it has an additional object In this: To perfect some line of action, to the end that Democratic platform pledges may be speedily redeemed. It Is the history of past legislatures that the first two or three weeks of the session are practically lost becauso the members have not , prepared themselves In the way of having the necessary party bills prepared and ready for Introduction promptly at tho beginning of the session by assigning to different members the duty of having bills prepared and ready for Introduction on the first day covering every platform pledge made by the Democratic party. . ' We sincerely hope that every member will find It convenient to be present at Indianapolis on the day stated, prepared and willing to cooperate with every other member In making the meeting a complete success." Introduce Bills. Representative Faulkner said the members wlil have an experience meeting at which they will be urged to state what bills they expect to introduce. Where it is , found that several members want to Introduce bills on the same subject, they will bo asked to get together on one measuro before the session opens. . OM' of the primary objects of the meeting will be a discussion of the legislation to carry out the platform pledges. The governor and the state officials are anxious that the platform pledges ahall be redeemed as early aa possible. In order that no time shall be lost, the House members are being urged to perfect their organisation several days ahead of the opening of the Assembly. It la possible that the Speakership will be settled at the meeting In order that the House committees can be made up without delay. The Democratic members of the aenate will hold a conference here Thursday. TWO CENT FARE LAW WILL BE ATTACKED (American News Service) Chicago, Dec. 6.

Reclamation Service is to be Reorganized Immediately

BY SYDNEY ESPY. Washington. Dec. 6. Reorganization of the , reclamation service, for greater efficiency and economy, has been begun by Secretary Balllnger of the department of the Interior. All of the members of the cabinet are having It impressed on them by President Taft that economy can be achieved without dropping any employes. The economy experts who are at work are not concerned with the personel of the various departments, so there is not much worry among the thousands of government employea as to whether or not they are to be dismissed. A budget outlining methods of economy probably will be the frst public evidence of .the work that is being so carefully and conservatively performed by the economy experts. Several members of the house of representatives on the committee on appropriations have called on President Taft and have been consulted with regard to the improved methods that are being adopted by the government departments. Within a short time, Frederick H. Newell, director of the reclamation service, will probably resign that Important position to give way to an army engineer. It has been determined to bring this branch of the interior department under the Jurisdiction of the engineer corps of the army, although Its actual heatt will be the secretary of the Interior. This mat ter has already been taken up with President Taft by Secretary Bellin ger and it is thought that the president has heartily indorsed the scheme. During the conference with the pres. ident, several army engineers were called In for advice and to discuss the plan. The president by this method gained a clear Idea as to the plans that are under consideration. It is said in official quarters that the vast projects contemplated during the Roosevelt administration will hereaft er be brought to a successful completion under the supervision of army engineers. Many dollars annually are expected to be saved as a result of the reorgan ization of the reclamation service. With the work under the' Jurisdiction of the army engineers, it is believed considerable duplication will be abolished. Army engineers already have charge of the surveying of river and harbor Improvements, and this work can be Joined to a certain extent with the management of the reclamation service. It is In these ways that President Taft believes he will be able to make the biggest cuts in the expenditures of the government. Postmaster Gene ral Hitchcock scaled the annual shortage of 117.6000.000 in his department down to $6,100,000 without dismissing any employes and without increasing the postage rates to magazines. 1 The cut was accomplished merely by the elimination of wasteful processes and expenditures. In other departments of the gov ernment every effort is being made by the various cabinet officers to reduce the cost of maintenance and accord ing to a number of them. It will be done even if the reorganization of a great many bureaus is found necessary, such as Is contemplated by Secretary Balllnger. Since the cholera scare has com pletely faded away, at least as far as this country Is concerned. Surgeon General Wyman, of the Marine Hospital Service has become rather communlcaUve concerning the subject. In an Interview, he declared that a chol era epidemic Is a thing of the past owing to the prompt and efficient methods used by the service in connection with the aid extended by the federal government and other coun tries. Since the beginning of the present epidemic of cholera In Europe," he said, "the possibility of cases being found on ships arriving In this country was constantly kept In mind by the marine hospital service. The possibility was Increased considerably by the appearance of the disease In Italy especially in Naples, which is the point of embarkation for large numbers of Immigrants to the United States. "In order , that the hygienic laboratory might be prepared to render expert aid In the diagnosis of suspected cases of cholera, a supply of cholera agglutinating and bacterloltic serum was obtained. "Through tho use of this serum," General Wyman continued, "positive opinions could be given as to whether organisms Isolated from suspected cases of cholera or from suspected carriers were the cholera vibrio. The officers in the laboratory reviewed the various methods proposed for the isolation and identification of the cholera vibrio In order that when called upon they might be able to render expert aid In the diagnosis of cholera. "In numbers of cases, the products of the hygienic laboratory were called for from the ports of entry and In every case the serum diligently and truthfully detected the presence of cholera In the suspect." Dr. Wyman declared that at about this time each year the marine hospital service is called upon to stamp out a threatened invasion of European cholera. The season which now has about closed, he continued, was rather short, but had not the marine hospital service been fully equipped with unlimited financial means and medical skill, there would have been no way of accounting for the final reckoning. In stamping out the disease anad preventing its appearance in this country the marine hospital service was authorized to adopt any methods It saw fit. Without causing undue inconvenience to travelers every Incoming trans-Atlantic liner was held in quarantine. Doctors were employed In this country and abroad for service at points where immigrants to this country . would . embark. . Transporta

tion companies were required to make examinations of all passengers they were about to carry before the ship was given permission to depart on its Journey to America. In every way possible the marine hospital service took the utmost precautions to prevent the germs of cholera from becoming epidemic in the United States. "To sum up the whole situation." General Wyman said, "would be to say that the campaign just closed by the Marine hospital service has been the most successful in its career and at the same time it has been made without the usual discomforting and alarming circumstances." Not only did the service see to it that the immigrants who were seeking entry into this country were free of the dread disease, but merchandise from cholera Infected districts was placed under strict supervision. Lemon shipments from Italy were thoroughly fumigated by doctors in the employ of the service under the supervision of consular agents. On reaching this country they were again fumigated by the custom authorities for the purpose of making absolutely sure that every precaution had been taken against the disease. Freight consignments from Hamburg and other points were treated in the same manner. "The best compliment so far," General Wyman continued "is the fact that there is today no case of cholera in the United Statets."

Matt!" said Councilman "Bill" Bartel after council, last night, handing Mr. Von Pein an excellent looking weed. "Sure," said Matt, accepting the big long ten-center with alacrity, and the little city father marched up Main; street, blowing out clouds of smoke and telling Bartel, Henry Engelbert, and several others about the advan tage of buying lots In the Beallview : addition. A moment later, Bang! Pop! Fiz-z-z-' z-z-z-z! went the cigar and with an exclamation of terror, Matt dropped the , infernal machine just as his hat rose from his head. The little hair of which Von Pein can boast, stood; straight up. i Showing great interest and sym-! pathy the councilmen gathered around the flaming cigar and watched the fireworks. After Mr. VonPein had recovered from his fright, and saw it was all a joke, he had a good laugh and invited the boys around the corner. ITIha'd; a box. Put ep and cT

A PLAN TO BUILD LABORERS HOMES

Suggested by Secretary Jordan at Meeting of the Commercial Club. A suggestion that a stock company be formed within the Commercial club for the purpose of building homes for working men at the lowest possible figures, was made by Charles W. Jordan at a meeting of the club last night. Mr. Jordan's plan is to have probably two hundred homes constructed in different parts of the city, ranging in cost from JS00 to $1,200, and that these be sold to laborers at as near cost as possible, with a small rate of interest. It is thought the investment would be a safe one on account of the great demand for homes. A committee consisting of John M. Loutz, James A. Carr and William H. Campbell was appointed to Investigate the matter. The Commercial club favors the streets of the entire city being sprinkled and the cost charged up to the property owners. It is claimed that the club will take the matter to the state legislature. Some recommendations as to the postal laws will be made. These have already been sent to Senator Shively and Congressman Barnard.
