EXPENSE A CONSIDERATION.
Judge Baker Talks About q Special Ses-
sion of the Grand Jury.

Since the return of Judge Baker. of the
United States Court, from his vacation con-
siderable interests manifested in regard
TO the probable special call of the federal
grand jury TO indict the officials of the In
dianapolis National Bank. Yesterday
Judge Baker said that he had not had time
to examine the matter of the arrest of the
officers and has had no consultation with
the district attorney. He said:
Unless the district prosecutor assures
me that the public needs require that the
United States grand jury should
be called at once there will be
no special sessiOn. The regular
sitting of the body comes In November,
and hardly think that a delay of few
weeks will imperil the cause of justice.
Rather would it assist the authorities In
being better prepared to conduct the case.
/ feel. too, that should be conservative in
she matter. from the fact that the national
treasury IL In q somewhat straitened con-
dition. and, unless it Is absolutely necessa-
~, / do not believe the government ought
to be compelled to bear an OK pense in.
Cured by special meeting Of the grand
jury.
United States Attorney Burke left at 8
o'clock yesterday afternoon for the East
He will visit WASHINGTON and New York
before returning. The attaches OF the
prosecutors Office aver that no signifi-
canoe Is attached to the visit, but that the
attorney has simply gone to see the sights.

Why Kesee Shed Tears.

There was q pathetic scene in the turn
keys office at police headquarters yester-
day afternoon. Theodore Kesee. q Bloom
ington.street resident, was brought in for
wife beating and wept floods of tears upon
the bosom of turnkey Taffe. who he
avowed was the only friend he had on
earth. Notwithstanding his protests that
he had never laid finger on his wife the
prisoner was locked up. Apparently the

RAINING over for many years. but Theodore

SIM AND THE WATER MAINS.
He Got Them When Others Could Not
Get the Same Privilege.

The president of the Board of Works
sought to convey the impression yester-
day. in q brief interview. that the board
was not doing very much toward helping
Sim Coy in his campaign. Sim Coy got an
extension of water mains in his ward few
weeks ago after the board had refused
many delegations like privileges
In other parts of the city. al
though these delegations even offered
to make it worth the while of the water
company to extend the mains. President
Condnitt stated time and time again. be-
fore the water mains were ordered extended
into the Ninth ward. that he would not or.
der the water company to extend any more
mains. because it refused to lny what the
board had already ordered. A delegation OF
people from the northern end Of the city
was told this same thing: likewise other
delegations from the South Side. But. as
the saying is. it was different with Sim. He
got what he wanted, and he has not hesi.
tated to boast of the fact.
