PRIMARIES TOMORROW NIGHT.
Outlook for a Large Attendance-The
State Convention.

The primaries to elect delegates to the
Republican State convention will be held
in this city tomorrow night, and. on &C
count of the number Of candidates from
Marion county, unusual interest is displayed
in the makeup of the county delegation 1t
would not be surprising If the attendance
at the primaries almost reaches the size of
that last Friday night Early next week
the advance guards Of those who will back
the numerous candidates will be in the city,
and there will be much log rolling in the
hotel Hobbies The State convention on
Wednesday will undoubtedly be the larg
est gathering of its kind ever held in this
city, the hotels making preparations TO ac-
commodate thousands. 1t is believed by
many that the convention will be unable
to conclude it's laborS in one day. Tomlin-
son Hall has been arranged to seat 1,1O9
delegates, and, as the delegations are to
be arranged alphabetically by committees,
beginning with the northeast corner of the
hall, the Marion county delegates will be
placed in the center of the hall. Spectators
will be allowed only in the galleries and
on the stage. Brass bands Will come from
the neighboring cities with the candidates
and their friends
Capt Alexander Hess, candidate for Clerk
of the Supreme Court, was in the city yes

Delegates to the General Assembly
Rev. Mr.. Whallen's Case.

The Indianapolis Presbytery has elected
delegates to the General Assembly as fol-

Walker, of this city, and Mr.. Holmes. of
Columbus. lay delegates The delegates
chosen TO represent the indianapolis Pres
bytery in the General Assembly. which
meets at Saratoga in May, are OF the lib
eral Presbyterians, and will support the
liberal ideas Of the church. They say they
are not disciples of Briggs whom they con-
slider extremist but for progression.
They stand for right TO express their
opinion and belief as To the meaning OF the
Confession of Faith.
The presbytery also passed resolution
overturing the General Assembly To pre-
pare a new creed-less speculative than the
present Westminster Confession of Faith
and setting forth the essentials OF the
Christian faith In much shorter and clearer
form.
A resolution was passed instructng the
stated clerk to. giye letters of dism isSse
outside OF its bounds, transferring them
TO those presbyteries within whose limits
they reside.
This action was taken in accordance with
the law Of the Presbyterian, Church, the
General Assembly having declared that
ministers without charge living in the
bounds Of another presbytery shall be re-
quired to transfer their membership TO
that preSDytery IN whose territory they
reside This action will neceSsitate the re-
moval of the membership Of three or four
of the present members of the lndianapo-
lis Presbytery, including Rev. DR.. +. p.
Whallen, of Cincinnati; Rev. Mr.. Weather

of Kentucky, and, perhaps, one or two
others. This action is due to the fact that

WOMEN ON THE SCHOOL BOARD.
Another Commissioner Willing to Give
Way-WOmen's Eligibility.

The probability that one or more women
will be candidates for election as School
commissioners has caused some discussion
as to whether. under the laws of Indiana,
they are eligible 10 the Office, as Il IS cleo
tive and dependent upon suffrage. This
question has already been settled in this
State and the State has at least one wom-
an acting in the capacity OF School Com
missioner. The instance is in Terre Haute
where Ida May Davis is a member of the
Board or School Commissioners and has
filled the position satisfactorily for some
time. Several attorneys We're asked yes
terday for an opinion as 10 the legality of
women serving upon the board, and all
answered that without having made any
special Investigation Of the point, they
would believe that women are eligible 10
the position. They thought the statutes
made no discrimination between the sexes.
Superintendent Jones, OF the public
schools, said they could serve if elected

FREE KINDERGARTENS WORK.
Annual Meeting of the SOciety-0fficers
and Boards Elected.

The annual meeting of the Free Kinder
garten and Chillren's Aid Society was held
yesterday afternoon at the residence Of
Mrs. j. III. Baldwin, on North Pennsylvania
street There was an attendance Of about
fifty members. Mrs. Baldwin presided. Mrs
]. y. Elan read the report Of the last an
nual meeting which was concise, and then
the treasurer, Mrs. G. l.. Dark gave her
account OF the moneys. This has been the
most prosperous year, financially, that the
society has ever had. The balance in the
treasury, with all debts paid, is $3.50. The
Mark Davis legacy Of 5000 was of great
benefit, as ii placed the society out of debt
There Is still $3.50 of the legacy due the
society The new school which was built
on Margaret street, opposite the City Hos
pital is the fruit Of this years labor. and
1t cost $500. The society is divided into
six sections. The greatest amount turned
in by any section was by the second, with
Mrs. ]. H. Holiday and Mrs. Herman
Pink in charge. which made $606. and the
sixth section has made $4l9.
The superintendent, Mrs r. A. Baker,
made an excellent report Of what has been
accomplished for the children and their
mothers. There are about 800 children in
the seven schools. over five thousand visits
have been made by the teachers to the
homes Of the children, and 1,1S mothers
these latter meetings the teachers talk with
the mothers and they are by word told OF
the best way TO raise their children and
to improve their homes. The mothers come
to the teachers with their troubles, and
more than one mother has been helped by
suggestions and advice. The president, Mrs.
Baldwin, made an address in which she
gathered up the threads of the other re-
ports. She recommended the removal OF
the Normal Training School up town into
a suitable building. She thought IL would
be well to have in the building a private
kindergarten where children, who pay for
their tuition, should be accepted and
where those who come from out of town
for instruction might be Accommodated.
This is the only city where the free kinder
garten is a part of the school work of the
city. The recommendation met with gen.
eral favor and a number were very en-
thuSiaStic over Ii.

BROWN GETS NO REWARD.
He Captured O Heavy Defaulter but
Courts Rule Against Him.

1t is a little bit trying TO earn $37, 500 and
then not get 1t because of the trifiing cir
cumstance of holding an office that. under
the statutes, interfered with the deal under
which the money was earned. On Nov. 26,
1885, William II. Schneider, a bookkeeper
in the First National Bank of Columbus,
Ind, away with $4,000 in cash and
100000 in notes and bonds. On April Is,
$780, James S. Brown Justice of the peace
at that place, and before whom the first
affidavit against the absconder was filed,
was employed to run him down. y written
contract was entered into with Brown
under which he was to receive $40 a month
and expenses during such time as he was
engaged in the chase, and If he landed his
man, who known to be in Canada,
Brown was to receive one-fourth of the
amount recovered. This contract was
signed by the vice president, cashier and
one director of the bank, and Brown
started at once to work. He located his
man in Windsor, opposite Detroit, and go
ing to the latter place remained until Sept.
2S. 1890 on which day he succeeded in lur-
ing him. The latter was brought back to
Columbus, where he turned over property
enough TO make good the entire $4,000.
and on oct. TO- 1920, was sentenced to ten
years in the southern prison.
Brown then called on the bank people
for his share of the $4,000. but they re-
sued on the contract but the banks at
torney simply answered that any such ar
rangement was void because Brown was
the judicial officer before whom the aff-
davit against Schneider was filed, and the
contract was therefore in the nature OF
bride TO convict the latter Brown de-
INJURED to the answer, but his demurrer
overruled by the Bartholomew Circuit
Court He then replied 10 the banks an
swer. but the banks attorneys demurred
and were sustained, whereupon Brown ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court which yes
terday, In a decision by Judge Daley, sus-
tanned the lower courts action. Tho opin-
ion holds that to preserve the integrity of
the law and good order of society, public
policy forbids this kind of contract. All
agreements for pecuniary considerations TO
control the regular administration OF Just
ice are void, whether improper means are
contemplated used in their execution.
The law looks TO the general tendency or
such agreements. and II closes the door to
temptation by refusing them recognition in
: the courts of the country. No design need
be manifest, as the motive is not inquired

TO REVOKE ALIENS LICENSE.
A Fort Wayne-Avenue Saloon Will Be
Closed for Law Breaking.

Superintendent Powell yesterday sent to
Mayor Denny another complaint against a
violator OF the saloon law This one is
similar to the case against Shine Brothers.
License No 10 was issued to George Allen
TO do business at III Fort Wayne avenue.
Allen sold the business to a Mr.. Howard,
apd the charges of violating the law are
really against Mr.. Howard, but the license
being in the name of George Allen, he is the
one against whom any legal proceedings
must be taken. The letter of Superintend-
ent Powell to Mayor Denny is as follows:
ITO George Allen there was issued by the
city of Indianapolis license No. 10 To sell
Intoxicating liquors at No. III Fort Wayne
avenue. 1 am informed by officers that the
said George Allen sold his business COW
who now operates it. The officers have re-
ported from time to time that violations OF
the law were constantly occurring at said
place, and on the morning of April is said
officers arrested Perry Evans bartender at
the said premises, for selling liquor without
fined in both cases in the total sum OF $45
and sentenced TO Imprisonment I'm the work
mouse Tor thirty days. L recommend that
the license issued TO George Allen be re-
voked."
on this complaint Mr.. Denny Immediately
sent the following letter to George Allen:
1T is reported To me by the superintend-
ent OF police that violations OF the law have
Deen permitted by You and other parties
sued to you for III Fort Wayne avenue
On Information obtained L am inclined to
revoke said license, and will hear any
statement that you may desire to make on
the subject tomorrow morning at Q
Sciock, at my Office. You are invited to
be present at that time together with ANY,
one who may claim or assume to act for
you IN the conduct of the saloon at the
above number under said license"
AS the evidence in the Police Court yes-
terday morning was sufficient to convict
the bartender Perry Evans there is no
doubt that this license will be revoked this
morning. Mr.. Denny says that he will
continue reVoking the licenses of those
who violate the law until such time as the
city Is free from this class of lawbrealxers
II he has to revoke half the licenses i'm
town.

PILGRIMS TO EGYPT.
Board of Works and Mayor View
the Lnnd-LOcIked District.

The Board Of Works, the Mayor and an
assistant engineer together with the prop
erty owners interested. yesterday went out
to the southeast portion of the city to
view the land-locked district, commonly
called Egypt" Notes were taken of the
topography of the district. The members
of the board have not expressed any opin-
ion on the matter but 1t is understood from
persons who were with the party that the
original plats Of the engineer made some
time ago will probably be adopted. This
plan calls for the opening or Lincoln lane
and Gresham street, from their present
eastern termini to Shelby street; also the
opening of the following north and south
streets: Barth avenue to Calling street,
and Wallack and Leonard streets to Gresh-
am street. If adopted, this plan will open
mn fifteen or twenty acres Of land that is
not now plated, besides being an outlet
TO several hundred acres more which is
plated and partially built upon.
