THE FIRST
Receiver Hawkins Called to Testify
as to the Sale of the Plant.

Recefyer Hawkins Called to Testify
as to the Sale of the Plant.
The first evidence in the case was intro
duced by the government at 3 o'clock. II
was documentary evidence and consisted of
the reading of the articles of incorporation
of the Indianapolis National Bank and the
glue and c~urled-hair companies. Edward
Hawkins. receiver of the Indianapolis Ma
tional Bank, was the first witness called.
He took charge of the two insolvent COM
panies and sold them under a mortgage
turned over TO him by the bank examiner.
Hawkins, when he took charge of
the bank. found the Indebtedness Of the
curled-hair and glue companies to be
scented by drafts and notes. He found the
glue works situated on ground that was
owned by Theodore Haughey. The ma
chinery was not in the best condition and
the building was practically worthless. He
sold the glue works for s1I,525: The curled-
of this plant was also run down and the
buildings dilapidated.
On DISCRIMINATION Mr.. Duncan asked
Receiver Hawkins for a description in de-
tail of the two concerns. Witness said he
would have TO refer to his documents and
hair works amounted to $500. Witness
that he formed his idea of values
from the cash which he realized from the
sale of the two concerns. He has had
charge of the glue works for a year after
he took possession. He kept the plant open
and sold much OF the product OF the glue
works at retail before disposing of the
property as a bulk. The face value of ac-
counts turned over by the glue company
was $1,000.

The Board of Works held a short ses-

On the section from Mississippi TO

Mayor Taggart was asked also about the
appointment OF Mansfield as city engineer.
1t was reported that the Mayor had called
the new city engineer into his office to tell
him he wanted the city engineers office run
in different fashion than when Mansfield
was in Office before. Mr.. Taggart denied
this. He was asked what he had to say
about Mansfeld's bad record as a city con-
tractor.

A contract given to Mansfield & Allen, the

There was a mad surging Of humanity in

o'clock yesterday afternoon, when q little

red whiskers scrambling to get through his

gentlemen from the Fifteenth ward turned
very, very white, but said nothing. Dick
Herrick, who was secretary, or something,
on the recent civil-service board, flashed
through the dark basement, but got safely
within his own department before the looks
of the office-seekers became too ominous.

1t was understood that the Board of
Health. after organizing with Or. Frank
Morrison as president, had decided to adopt
ministration. DR.. Morrison, when ques-
toned later in the afternoon, was rather
undecided as 10 just what the BOARD would
do in that matter. Mayor Taggart was
asked if he intended to follow out the civil
service idea. The Mayor was not just ready
to say positively and specifically what he
would do.
Il intend to obey. the law as set forth in
the charter" said he.
but the charter contains no civil-service
rules" he was informed.
Well" he replied, Il think we can follow
the charter and satisfy the people. None
but competent men shall be appointed to
Office"
sBut does that mean that you intend to
adopt civil-service rules, as the last admin
istration did?'
I'VE are going to obey the charter" was
the rather noncommittal answer.
DIR. Morrison said the Board of Health
had not adopted civil-service regulations. A
number of men had applied for positions.
and they had been told to fill civil-service
application blanks. The board would not
adopt a rule regarding appointments in one
department and have a different rule In
force in another department.. There must
be uniformity. DR.. Morrison was not ready
at that time TO say whether or not City
Sanitarian Wynn would be reappointed or
rot. that officials resignation having been
accepted at the 1-o'clock meeting of the
board. The hospital and dispensary ap-
pointments had not been fixed at that time.

Napoleon,s Genius In War.


The conquered Milanese were by a
magical touch provided with provi-
sional government, ready. after the
tardy assent Of the directory, to be-
changed into the Transpadane republic,
under French protection. Every detail of
administration, every official and his
functions, came under Bonaparte's di-
rection. He knew the land and Its re-
sources, the people and their capacities,
the mutual relations Of the surrounding
states and the idiosynorasies Of their
rulers. Such laborious analysis as his
dispatches display, such grasp both Of
outline and detail, such absence Of con-
fusion and clearness Of vision, such lack
of hesitance and definition Of plan,
seem to prove that either hero or q
demon is again on earth.
All the capacity this man had hitherto
shown, great at 1t was, sinks into insig-
nifioance when compared with the
Olympian powers he now displays and
will continue to display for years to
come. His sinews are iron, his nerves
are steel, his eyes need no sleep and his
brain no rest. What captured Hun
garian veteran said of him at Lodi is as
true of his political activity as Of his
military restlessness: "He knows moth
ing of the regular rules Of war He is
sometimes on our front, sometimes on
the flank, sometimes In the rear. There
is no supporting such gross violation
Of rules" His sense and his reason
were indeed untrammeled by human
limitations. They worked ON front, rear
and flank, often simultaneously and al.
ways without confusion. Professor

Half-TOne Cuts by Telegraph.


A recent issue of Electricity con-
tains long illustrated description of
the process invented by F. S. Ans
tutz, of Cleveland, Ohio, for trans
hitting half-tone Photographic cuts
by telegraph. The process is extreme
ly simple, but it yields results almost
perfect. A bichromated plate is
printed under an ordinary negative
and soaked out in water, giving
print in relief. A wax coat, made
from this, is rolled about an ordinary
photograph cylinder. and the styles
passing over this transmits current
of varying intensity over the wire.
This causes V-shaped graver at the
other end to cut deeper or shallower
lines into cylinder at the other end,
perfectly reproducing the lights and
shades of the original. This cut is
then fiattened out, electrotyped and
is ready for the press. The process
is rapid, and by its aid the scenes of
Mardi Gras might have been repro
duced in the New York papers of the
next day.
