The IRON HALL CASE.

somerby on the Stand-Believed That
Receiver VIII he Appointed-The Total
Assets Reported to BE S2,6SG,244.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 1S.-Supreme JUS
tice Somerby was on the stand in the
Iron Hall receivership case yesterday.
The testimony elected was strong
enough to lead the plaintiffs to believe
that n receiver will be appointed, Som
erby, although having supreme author
ity, admitted that he had never given
bond until this suit was brought, and
that only in the sum OF $4,000 with a
Detroit undertaken as security. This
bond has not been approved and is not
in force. Supreme Cashier Davis is
under $4,000 bond, the witness said,
but one of the sureties is dead.
The witness did not know where any
of the orders reserve funds, except
sS, 900 in this city, had been invested as
required by the constitution. Account
ant Davis had some transactions in
volving some s94, 900, but Somerby did
not know how this money was invested.
Someby told the story Of the Philadel-
phia bank Of which he is vice president
and which now has s790,OOO Of the
orders money. He said that the rea-
son $4,000 had been donated to the
bank was to tide over the embarrass-
ment of this bank. The money was
taken from the order. II the receiver
for the bank had been appointed II
would have resulted in the appoint
ment Of receiver for the order and It's
utter ruination.
The subcommittee OF the Iron Hall,
which has been engaged for some days
in making an examination Of the books,
has finished its work and made a report
which, 1t is claimed, is authentic. The

A COLLISION

between Two pcean Steamers Results In
Great Loss OF Life -Eighty-siX Persons
Missing and Thirty mine Bodies Recoy-
cred.
LONDON, Aug. 1l.-Fuller details OF
the collision, attended by great loss Of
life, between steamers near the coast Of
Finland, show that two coasting
steamers, the Ajax and the Runeberg,
collided off the port Of Helsingfors,
capital Of Finland, on Monday last
The Ajax was loaded with people from
Helsingfors who were out for Sunday
sail. The Runeberg was in the coast
ing trade The Ajax had started out
on Sunday and been delayed on the re-
turn by heavy fog. The captain con-
cluded TO proceed slowly into port and
was not at high speed when the col
lision occurred. The Runeberg, owing
to the fog, had no notice OF the ap-
proach Of the Ajax and was going Mt
ordinary speed. The Runeberg struck
the Ajax near the center, shattering
that steamer 80 that the water flowed
in in torrent
The passengers on the Ajax were
nearly all Swedish Firms. They be-
haved with notable courage in the aw-
full situation. The men pushed the wo-
men and children to the life buoys,
thrown out by the Runeberg, and took
their chances at struggling In the
water There was no time TO lower
boats as the Ajax sank almost Instant
ly, carrying down almost 100 persons.
The Runoberg was badly injured and
could not have remained ahoat long,
but her captain stood by as long as pos
sible to save all that he could OF the
Ajax's passengers and crew. Eighty-six
persons are missing and thirty-nine
bodies have been recovered.

THE POLICE REMOVALS.

There was a wholesale discharge of
policemen or Tuesday evening. The chief
named round dozen whom he requested
the mayor to bounce, and the request was
complied with, at the same time twelve
men to fill the vacancies were nominated
by the mayor and promptly confirmed by
the council. Very naturally the men who
were discharged are more or less disturbed
in their minds, and it is said they viii go to
law to test the power of the mayor and
council to let them out thus summarily.
TIE HERALD does not pretend to know
why the men were let out, but the pre-
sumption is they were not in sympathy
with the chief, or that he did not have con-
idence in them, and this being true it
seems to US that the thing to do was to dis
charge them. If the legal right to do this
Sbouncing'' does not exist in the
mayor and council it is mis-
/ take which ought to be corrected
as soon as possible. This is saying moth
ing against the gentlemen who have been
relieved OF their stars. So far as we are
aware, they are as honest and efficient as
those retained on the force The matter
:, is simply one of confidence between officers
and men, of harmony in the service. If
confidence does not exist, if harmony does
not prevail, there will be lack of efficiency
and the public will suffer.
This city has already had terrible ex-
perience of discussions and quarrels in the
police force The patrolmen were divided
into factions, quarreling with each other
and with the heads of the department
They were trying to down the officials
and the latter made it uncomfortable for
the men. There was total absence OF
confidence, and the harmony essential tt
efficient work was entirely wanting
The trouble finally eliminated, as nigh
naturally have been expected, in {
killing, the overbearing captain being shoi
down By one of the faction that had beer
opposed to him. We want no more of sucl
proceedings. If the factional spirit hat
again shown itself in the ranks, il wa
time for the officials to act with prompt
ness AID determination and not permit th
evil to run along, as was the case last year
We also hold that the mayor and tn
chief should have the selection of the msr
to serve as policemen, and the right to dis
charge at pleasure The former are re
sponsible to the public for the proper &C
ministration of the department, and henc
ought not to be hampered and handicappe
by subordinates who are not in sympathy
or harmony with them

THE WORLDS FAIR.

The Worlds fair commissioners issue an
address to the public this morning That
is to say, the matter is addressed to the
public generally, but we take it that the
persons intended to be reached are two or
three score Of our responsible citizens
whose names are wanted at the business
end of written guarantee that certain
moneys will be repaid. The HERALD be-
lieves the next legislature will appropriate
$50, 600 to pay the expenses of making
territorial exhibit ct Chicago next year.
The late legislature tried to appropriate
that sum, but was prevented by the gov
ernor. and we assume that the men who
will be sent to the assembly of 1894 are as
much interested in having good represen-
tation in the great fair as were their pred
ecessors. The banks have offered to loan
the money at a moderate rate of in
terest, but they want a guarantee
that the debt will be paid in two
years We do not think anybody will be
taking risk in signing these notes, so
reasonably certain is it that the legisla-
turs will make the necessary appropra-
tior. The commissioners ask that citizens
will stand with them in this matter, and thus
enable the territory to appear at Chicago.
Whatever is done must DO done at once,
hence the necessity of responsible persons
rendering the use of their names. as re-
ouested in the address published elsewhere
in THE HERALD.

ENCOURAGE RAlLRoAp BUILDING.

There is the right ring about the cham
Der OF commerce resolutions referring to
the Saltair railroad project which were
read in the city council on Tuesday even
ing. f
Ever since the first railway approached
the city the municipal fathers have been
generous in the extreme to the corpora
tions. The policy has been one of encour-
agem ent. The municipality has not looked
upon railroads as public enemies bent on
oppression and robbery of the people. The
opposite view has been taken. Railroads
have been regarded as aids to the city,
materially assisting in the work of devel-
opment and progress. Everybody has felt
that the more railways we had the better
for the city. The successive councils have
all been impressed with this senti-
ment, with the result that fran
chises have been freely granted
not dollar ever having been
asked from any company for the privilege
of laying tracks and running trains on the
streets. 1t was.a wise policy, as any one
will admit who is not abnormslly preiu-
diced against railroads. At times the coun-
Gil has been SO generous that it has voted
valuable franchises to ''paper" roads, of
the building of which there never was the
faintest likelihood RightsI OF way have
been granted to men who couldn't obtain q
ksg OF spikes except on credit from parties
who didn't know them.
| Why this policy should all at once be
changed ard a determined effort be put
forth to hedge out bona fide road with,
capital back of it, has not appeared. Every
! body has known from the first that the
Saltair project was solid aud substantial
| Everybody knew that the road was to be
built, progressive men with the necessary
cash having the matter in hand. Yet
it was by a scratch, after earnest
appeals and pleading, that the late council
permitted the line to enter the city at all.
Then it was discovered that the franchise
SO reluctantly granted was practically
valueless, and the present council has
seemed disposed to continue the discrimina-
ton against worthy enterprise. After
much sparring the council has undertaken
to aid the project to the extent of making
the right of way conveyed by the former
council available, though it does so with
such q bad grace as to suggest the belief
that the present municipal fathers do not
regard railroad with real tracks, loco
motives, cars and other paraphernalia with
half as much favor as they do one Of those
roads which exists emily on crudely drawn
maps and in the brains OF pcnniless but
imaginative promoters"
We are glad the chamber of commerce
has spoken, and hope that hereafter sub
stantial railway projects will be given en-
couragement, until Salt Lake says she has
enough railroads

ONLY pUNCoMBE.

1t seems that the council is powerless to
change the salaries, fees or compensation
of city officials during the term for which
those officials were elected or appointed.
The late council having adopted an ordin-
auce fixing salaries, ETC., this one can do
nothing in the promises. This fact reduces
to buncomhe good deal OF the
talk heard in the council within
the past month or 30 in reference to reduc-
tions-that is to say, it is buucombe, or
else it is ignorance on the part OF the
counciluen, and nobody would like to say
that the gentlemen who have been chosen
to manage the affairs of the corporation
for the next two years are not among
the brightest and best informed of
our citizens. Perish the thought
that one of them is ignorant of
anything he should know 1t would be a
gross libel to suggest that any councilman
is not familiar with all the municipal laws
or does not understand the powers as well
as the duties of the body known as the
city council. The public will stand Ger
tain amount of buncombe, and will even
applaud it at times, but the public cannot
tolerate ignorance in the city government
Only Craftsmanship will be recognized in
the municipal legislature and that must be
of high order, as shown by the selection
of so many bright and brainy men fol-
councillors at tho late election.
AS to the salaries, we presume they will
continue az at present to the end of ths
official terms, as buncombe doesn't count
| in such matters.

SENATOR CHANDLER objects to the plan
of choosing United States Senators by the
people of the several states directly, en- the
ground that it would lead to the adoption
Of the popular system of electing Presi-
dents, without the intervention Of state
electoral tickets. But even if it should,
worse calanities have befallen the coun-
try. With such q system in vogue we
should have no such scrambles In the
douotfu, states as are Witnessed row. A
much greater interest would be taken in
states where the majorities are SO large as
TO have practically no contest. And Presi-
dental elections would be determined by
the relative strength of parties in the whole
Gun try.
