A member of the Gray Club was in
mood to talk last night when met by a
Journal reporter, on Illinois street, in the
neighborhaad of that street commonly
known as the levee. He was one OF the
crowd that went to Union City Friday to
attend the funeral services of the patron
saint of the club Isaac p. Gray.

Gray was man who stood head and
shoulder above any of them and 1t looked
small in them to remain away from his
funeral. He was a Democrat and they call
themselves Democrats, but if you notice
you will see that not one of them had a
thing to do with the funeral. 1t all arose

BICYCLE RIDING SCHOOL.
TomIinson Hall VIII he Opened In q
Few Days to Teach the Sport.

Wheelmen have always shown great en-
thusiasm in their devotion to the sport,
but the mania to ride a bicycle has. in
the past, been limited to comparatively
few persons Now, however, 1t has spread
with such rapidity that it not only takes
in the young boys and girls of the period,
but reaches out to their fathers and moth
ers, uncles, aunts and cousins. grandfath-
ers and grandmothers, even great-grand-
mothers have been known to take to cycling
in the last few months.
Last season there was riding school
established at Newport for the benefit or
the families of the aristocratic millionaires
who live there during the summer months.
A few Of the leaders OF the society Of the
Four Hundred became much interested in
the wheel and before the season was over
every man, woman and child that visited
Newport had learned to ride a bicycle.
ON the set craze s has Continued to Spread
the country until now 1t reaches Iron, IRON
a beginning. At present In New York city
several of the most fashionable halls are
them being the Berkley Lyeeum Lenox
Lyceum. Doree Gallery, Adelphi Hall and
shaHx Club the tba Latter nt beng states ahe
Indianapolis people now to be given

OF the Newport leaders or IaShioh. Inc
Indiana Bicycle Company has recently
leased Tomlinson Hall for the season and
will establish a first-class riding school
for the benefit of indianapolis people who
are DESTROYS of becoming patrons of the
sport. The school will be run in the morn
ing exclusively for ladies who do not wish
to take their first lessons in public; the
afternoons will be devoted to young ladies
and gentlemen and the evenings to the
general public. Indianapolis long ago gained
notoriety as q bicycle center from a man
ufacturing standpoint and it now bids fair
to outshine any city in the universe as
a cycling center from the riders stand

DROWNED WHILE SKATING.
Howard DimOck Breaks Through the
Thin Ice ON the Canal.

Howard Dimock, the thirteen-year-old
son of Daniel j. Dimock, who owns a
restaurant at No. 76 North Illinois street,
was drowned in the canal at Broadcut
while skating yesterday afternoon about
2:30. The body was not recovered for al
most two hours. The boys mother was i'll
at her home. No. % Hall Place. when the
accident took place and the shock caused
by the announcement of her boys death
was so severe that she is now in crit
zeal condition.
Howard had gone to the canal to spend
the afternoon in skating with number
of companions of his own age. At one
place the ice had been cut and taken out
by the ice men and a coating of ice about
one inch in thickness had formed over
the place. To all appearances the ice there
was just as substantial as at any other
part of the canal and the boy skated onto
the thin ice unawares. There was cry
of horror as his companions saw him go
through the ice and under the water. He
arose In a moment several feet away from
the solid ice, but Immediately went down
again. There were some Older boys near
and they ran to the assistance of the boy.
Six or seven of them crowded to the edge
Would-be rescuers were plunged into the
Ice cold water. Their weight had been to
great for the strength of sthe ice near the
broken edge and it had given way. The
boys We're all old enough to retain their
presence of mind and in a few minutes,
with the assistance of some men who had
arrived on the scene, they were gotten safe
ly onto the ground But in the comnotion
the small Dimock boy had been lost sight
of and had sunk for the last time. Some
one telephoned to the boys father and,
accompanied by Ben Dawson, one of the
employees at the restaurant, he fastened
to the scene of the accident. A graphing
hook and boat was secured and for an
hour the search for the body was kept up
without success. Finally at some distance
from where the boy had gone down the
body was found. Flanner & Buchanan sent
wagon to the place and brought the body
to their morgue. The boy attended school

WAGES OF TRANSFERS.
Two Men Receiving More Than Others
Ordered Reduced.


The Board of Works has discovered that
on the weekly pay roll, which was sub
mitted Friday ]. L. Jones, North Side
teamster, and James Milan, South Side
teamster, were receiving 1926 day, while
others were receiving but s.. Street Com
missioner Fisher was called before the
board and said he had paid Jones and
Milan more in compliance with an order
of the old board. He said both of them
were using one-horse wagons, but he un-
derstood they were paid extra for doing
carpenter work. The board ordered their
wages fixed at $2.75, the customary price
paid owners of one-horse wagons for city
work. Mr. Fisher says he understood that
Jones and Milan were paid extra because
they were friends of the old board. Mem
bers of the old board say the extra wages
was paid because Jones and Milan are men
who can be depnded upon to superintend
work and they saw to it that the hauling
was done properly, as 1t is impossible for
a foreman to watch teamsters all the
time.
