WANTING IN MERITS
Disclaimer in KOerner's
License Injunction Suit.
Tired" Herrick, of the Safety Board,
Will Take a Smaller Salary
Bicycles for Doctors.

The suit of Valentine Koerner against
Mayor c.. S. Denny. brought in the Cir
cult Court to prevent the revocation OF
the plaintiffs liquor license. was dis
missed yesterday morning by acting Judge
Pickens. This rather impromptu action
was taken on the introduction of the fol-
lowing disclaimer by the city attorney,
who appeared in behalf of Mayor Denny:
The defendant for answer to the COM
plant says:
HE believes it is true, and therefore ad-
mits that the plaintiff was. on the 9th
day of September, 1893, duly licensed by
the city of Indianapolis to sell liquors as
provided by the ordinance of said city.
the title whereof is set forth in the COM
plant. and that said license does not by
it's term expire until the 9Th day of Sep
TENDER, 1894, and that the plaintiff still
possesses all the rights and authority
acquired by him under and by virtue Of
such license. and that said license is in
due form and in full force and effect, and
that the plaintiff now possesses the righi
10 continue TO sell liquors under said
license during the unexpired term thereof,
subject only TO the conditions. limitations
and restrictions of the laws OF the State
and the ordinance OF said city.
THE defendant further says that he dis
claims any intent to revoke said license,
had any intention of revoking said license.
and has not at any time threatened TO
revoke said license.
Wherefore. he prays, that said cause
order heretofore issued dissolved, and
that he go hence with his costs, and for
all other proper relief"
Mayor Denny said that it was not the
intention of the city to revoke the license
because he had learned that the merits or
the case were insufficient, and that there
was no thought Of making a test case of il.

To CUT HERRICk,s SALARY.
The "Tired Secretary" Afraid the
Council Would Act.

Richard c. Herrick, the "tired secre-
tary" of the Board of Examiners and clerk
of the Board Of Safety, resigned the former
position yesterday, and Perry Barnard.
clerk of the Board of Health, was appointed
in his stead. The change, 1t is said, was
for the purpose of evening up the work
in the two offices. Public opinion has also
something to do with it. Under the present
rules Of the Board of Examiners it's sec
rotary has the sole power in making selec-
tons for laborers on the street work, with
the simple restriction that be must give
preference TO old soldiers and men with
large families. This rule makes it possible
for the secretary to favor any one he
pleases on a pretense of following the rules,
Considerable complaint has been made that
this arbitrary power was delegated to a
Democrat serving under a, Republican ad-
ministration- Then, again, the Board of
Safety has come to realize that 1t can no
longer retain a Democrat in office at a
salary of % per cent. higher than would
have to be paid to any other person who
might be appointed TO the same position.
When Mr.. Herrick was asked about this
feature of the situation he merely laughed
and replied, II am not talking now He
admitted that this change in
his work would be followed by a reduction
of his salary TO 81, 200 a year, the amount
fixed by the Council 10 be paid TO the next
person appointed to that position He will
probably resign and be reappointed by the
Board OF Safety. Such a course would
bring him within the operation of the new
ordinance. These changes have been pre-
cipitated by the rumor that was afioat last
Monday that the Council intended TO take
some action in the matter. just IN what
manner could not be learned. Mr.. Herrick
was at the Council meeting Watching the
proceedings very closely until the time for
bringing up new business had passed. He
said Yesterday that 1t was that rurnor that
prompted him to attend the meeting.
The Board of Examiners received the re-
port OF the experts appointed to examine
applicants for position in the city engineers

BICYCLES FOR DOCTORS.
City Considers ~bIiity OF Equip
ping the Dispensury Corps.

ms ~
Bicycles will probably be used in the
future by the dispensary physicians in
making their rounds. Last year the street.
car company sold the Board of Health two
annual tickets for the use of the dispensary
for SIS. and this year made an offer of three
for 500, but before * could be ratified by
the proper authorities the offer was with.
drawn and the announcement made that the
company would not sell the tickets at a re-
duced rate. but would consider a PROPOSE
ton for free passes. Mayor Denny thinks
that in the present state of litigation be-
tween the company and the city it would
be inadvisable for the city to approach the
company with any such an offer, for fear
the court might hold IL to be a recognition
OF the oompany's right 10 the streets.
DR.. Hammond said that all of the dis
pensary physicians could ride bicycles and
that two wheels could be bought for Sl25.
The cost of repairs would be about 80 per
year. He estimated the expense or street-car
fare at over $50 per year. To compel the
physicians to walk would reduce their eff
ficiency at least one-half, and the small
salary paid is not sufficient 10 justify the
men in paying any OF it for street-car fare:
The matter of bicycles will be considered
and probably adopted.

Works board Listens to the Repre-
sentntives of the companies.
The representatives of the three asphalt
companies of this city were before the
Board OF Works yesterday TO set forth the
claims of the relative merits OF Trinidad
and Bermudez asphaltum. The Trinidad
companies were represented by S. WINERY,
Of Cincinnati, general Western manager for
the Warren-Scharf Company. He said there
was no monopoly in the Trinidad asphalt
um, as anyone who had the money and
would take the risk could go there and
buy all they wanted; but. he said, his COM
pany would not sell the raw material, as
that would be furnishing the ammunition
with which TO fight his company by ruin
Gus competition.

dividend until two years ago. since which
time we have declared dividends of 8 per

time we made some profit and allowed it
to remain i'm the business He classed the
Bermudez pavements as still in the expert
mental stage, and therefore not yet where
they could be accepted by a city as any
thing but an experiment, and such expert
ments. he said, have proved very expensive
heretofore. He said that the Bermudez as
phaltum is purer than the Trinidad article,
but denied that purity was a factor in the
quality OF the finished pavement. He said
that ,the peculiar mineral impurities con-
tained in the Trinidad asphaltum was the
secret of its success. and that the addi-
ton of a similar quantity of powdered
sand and limestone improved the quality
OF the Der nudeZ asphaltum, but, on ac-
count of the impossibility TO make as thor
Ough a mixture as was found In nature.
the mixture was not as good as Trinidad
by about 10 per cent. He then urged that
