TRYING TO SETTLE 1T
The Railroads and Tax Board
May Arrange a Compromise.
Several Meetings. of the Commissioners
to Consider the Important Matter
Both Sides Reticent Regarding 1t.

1t is probable that the next few days
will see a compromise effected between the
State OF Indiana and the railroad companies
which are contesting the tax assessment.
The decision OF the United States Supreme
Court in the test cases of the Big Four
and Panhandle roads has been delayed, but
it is now expected next Monday. Yester-
day a well-deined rumor prevailed TO the
effect that the railroad companies, despair
ing of a victory in the Supreme Court.
were anxious to compromise the litigation,
and, further, that they had made overtures
to the State, which had been favorably re-
ceived.
Numerous private sessions of the State
Board of Tax commissioners in the last
two weeks have had a tendency to strength
en- the belief that concessions are being
made on both sides. On Saturday morning
Governor Matthews left for Michigan City,
and just prior to his leaving the State
house he met the tax commissioners in a
consultation, the nature of which was not
made public. The State officials are reti-
cent on the subject, and decline to state
the purpose of the recent meetings of the
commissioners Encouragement Smith de-
clared yesterday that if there was to be a
compromise between the State and the rail-
roads he knew nothing OF it. Auditor of
State Henderson did not deny that there
was a possibility OF a settlement outside
the courts, but he declined to discuss the
matter. The attorneys for the plaintiffs
admit that rumors of compromise are nu-
merous, but they are silent as to the con-
ditions of the settlement 1t is understood
that a meeting of all the railroad officials
interested in the litigation will be held in
Indianapolis this week, and that a final
proposition will be made to the State. 1t is
claimed that the roads have for some time
felt their case was weak, and that the de
cisson of the Supreme Court would be
against them This their attorneys deny,
and at the same time contend that they
have no cause for feeling other than SAN
guine over the probable result. Attorney
general Smith has been present at all the
recent meetings of the tax commissioners
and there is little doubt that the subject of
discussion and possible action is this pro-
posed compromise.

HOW THEY A Ii.
A Couple of Schemes to Get the Best of
the Sunday Law.

On account Of the extreme vigilance Of
the proprietors of saloons evading the sun
day law il is extremely difficult for any
one to get a drink ON that day unless he
be a personal acquaintance OF the barten-
der or proprietor. Numerous were the COM
plants yesterday OF persons who could not
claim such acquaintance. AT one hotel the
proprietor sat in the Office all day long.
where he had a full view OF the street and
all persons who passed along. By turning
his head a little he could see back through
a hallway into the dining room, thus COM
manding the field. Anyone who was known
to him could pass by him through the din
ing room and then into an adjoining room,
where he could be served from a full as
sortment of liquors. A constant stream
passed through this place all day long.
When anyone wished to pass out the por-
into the hallway and cough TO attract the
proprietor's attention. IL the coast was
clear a nod was sufficient and the patrons
could depart, but II a policeman was known
or thought TO be near everything would i'm
mediately be as tight as a clam
The most ingenious scheme that has yet
come TO light is practiced by the proprietor
of a combination saloon and restaurant.
Apparently no liquor Is served, but those
who know the ropes take a seat in the
rear of the restaurant in one particular
chair. Unless you sit in that chair you
are not supposed to know the Sc
crets of the place, and would
have TO wait till Monday to get a
drink. But in a few moments after a per
son seats himself in that particularly min
a few inches, and If the person Immediately
arises and opens the door sufficiently 10
admit himself 1t is considered good evidence
that he is a friend, else he would not be
In possession of the secret. After passing
Through the door the thirsty individual will
find himself in a small hallway all alone;
Then II he is thoroughly posted he will
open a door by his side into a small wash
room, and very likely find a man just in
the act of washing his hands in a sta
tionary washbowL. That innocent wash
stand is a complete bar. Below is kept a
stock of several kinds of whisky, and from
the water faucet may be drawn beer. a
plumber and a few feet of rubber tubing
was all that was needed to ~disconnect the
water and attach the faucet ITO the beer
keg in the cellar.

THE BRIGHTwOOD SITUATION.
A Mixed Condition of Affairs There
md the Oufcnme Uncertain.

and the Outcome Uncertain.
In Brightwood the fight is on the same
lines that it is in Haughville, except that
a victory for the Citizens ticket is not
supposed to carry with it IN open town
fee gambling. Such a victory would mean,
however, a very loose policy In regard TO
saloons, and the past has shown that lax
ity IN that direction usually begets more
or less gambling. The tickets In the field
are as follows: Citizens ticket-For trus-
tees, Henry Kreger, A. Newhouse, j.
Stephens; clerk. w. p. Messersmith; mar
shall, James Ruark. Peoples t~icket-Trus-
tees, John White. William Johnson and
Charles Meadows; clerk, ]. j. Baldamar;
marshal. James Ruark. The Republican
ticket has one candidate G. Styers, for
marshal-and the Independent ticket has a
candidate for marshal only. j. Nc
Adams.
The Citizens ticket is an avowed saloon
ticket. One of the candidates for trustee,
j. Stephens, is a saloon keeper, and the
others, from all that can be learned, with
the possible exception of Ruark. are not
unfaVorable TO that element. Heretofore
there has always been two tickets in the
field, but both Of them were always NOM
mated at the same convention. in this way
simply giving the voters the choice of two
tickets supposed to be about equal on their
merits. This time the saloon element did
not want to go into the convention in that
way, SO pulled out and nominated a ticket
OF their own. Then they made Q. move
which they thought would blind the eyes
Of the people, and put a man on their
ticket for marshal whom they well knew the
people had confidence in, at the same time
being aware of the fact that II they could
control the other offices the marshaTs
hands would be tied so that he could do
nothing toward the enforcement of the
law. In this way they hope to gain a few
votes that would have gone to the Citi-
Zens' ticket, and thus carry the day.
McAdams. the present marshal, was be-
fore both conventions for denomination,
but his very loose manner of dealing with
the saloons in the past barred him from
any consideration in the Peoples conven-
ton, and In the Citizens convention his
old frieds turned him down because they
knew they must have a stool-pigeon for
that office. Thus one man was ignored in
two conventions for reasons that were pre-
cisely the same, but drawn from opposite
views; one dropped him simply because he
would not enforce the law, while the other
cast him aside because in his ~well-known
friendship for It's avowed principles would
lie the greatest danger Of defeat. The
Republicans, with their one candidate for
marshal, can well afford to suffer the
defeat that seems inevitable to them If
by doing so they can aid in the election
OF a ticket that will support the laws.

Jackson's election is the fact that a large
number of the residents out there are men
who work, or at least did work. in the pres
porous days gone by, in the various shops
and foundries OF Haughville. They have
come to the conclusion that even in the
town elections the Democratic party should
be rebuked for its policy of destruction in
regard TO factory interests. The Republican
majority last year was from two TO thirty
six, and IL Is believed hat this dissatisfac-
ton over tariff tinkering will double these
figures this year.
Following are the Republican nominees:
Clerk, Scion Lee: treasurer, John Thomp-
son; marshal, Jesse Foltz; for trustee from
the First district, Ed Cole; for trustee from
the Second district, James Mckinney.
The Democratic ticket is as follows:
Clerk, Bert Amos; treasurer, Joseph Bush;
marshal, Mr.. Hooper; for trustee from the
First district, Mr.. Williams, and from the
Sacond district. John Eller.

In the usually quiet little town of Irving

UP over the town election to-day. For sew

into the municipal elections in that suburb.
A mass meeting of the citizens has always
been called and a ticket nominated which
they would all support. thus making the
election a quiet affair. This year it seems
that some OF those who were in the con-
vention did not feel satisfied with the re-
suit, and in consequence there will be an
Independent ticket out to-day. Following

Fl BICYCLE SEASON
The Local Factories Are Pushed
with Orders for Wheels.
Reorganization of One Company and
Enlargement of Transformation
of Other Local Industries.

A visit to the bicycle plants last week
found them all busy. this being their best
season of the year. The Indiana bicycle
works now ranks as one of the largest es-
Establishments In this country. II has just
been reorganized. with a large capital, with
Charles +. Smith as president, W. z. Gal
loway as vice president and Philip Goetz
treasurer. The latter came from Chicago,
and had been with the c. T. Stokes Manu-
featuring Company Of that city for several
years. TIL company now has 40 people on
its pay rolls, and manufactures from raw
material everything which goes into a BIZ
oyole except the handle, and these they
will be manufacturing here In a few weeks.
The works has a capacity TO manufacture
from the raw material, which is imported
direct. ESQ rubber tires a day. In the month
Of April the works turned out 400 bicycles,
all high class machines. They are now turn
ing out no low grade machines. Vice Pres
ident and Genera2 Manager Galloway says
that they expect before eight months rolls
round to be working eight hundred men.
This establishment now has seven acres of
floor room
The Central cycle works are now pushed
with orders. They have over one hundred
man at work in their present buildings.
Within the next ten days the additional
new buildings will be ready for occupancy,
greatly increasing the capacity of the plant.
The Indiana Bicycle Company also makes
high grade wheels. With the addition this
concern will have about three acres of floor
room
The several bicycle companies have ar
ranged with the express companies to carry
their bicycles at fifty pounds. and all ship
ments under twenty-five wheels are made
by express. The express company comes
after the shipments and delivers them, so
that In the QUUTRQaTa fr Ia chQQnar m shin
bicycles by express than by freight. Then,
again, 1t insures prompt delivery. In the
month OF April the three express companies
took from the three plants here fully four
thousand bicycles.
The price of the high grade wheels has
declined much more in proportion than the
lower grades. A bicycle which, three years
age. sold at wholesale at $125. now sells
from SIS to $50. Charles +. Smith, president
Of the Indiana Bicycle works, has gone to
Mexico In the interests or the company.
Last week bicycles were shipped from the
Indianapolis bicycle works to every State
IN the Union, the company having a good
New England trade. Shipments were made
70 England. Australia, Belgium and Homo
lulu.
The Munger Bicycle Company, although
not so large a concern, Is doing a good bus
mess, and is working some departments
oyer time.
Steps are being taken to reorganize the
Standard Bicycle Company. which was
burned out a few weeks ago.
