TAXES LONG UNPAID
Over 1927 900 Now on the County
Treasurer's BoOks-Proposed to
Employ Collectors.

The members of the Council and School
Board finance committees and the County
Commissioners met last night with Con-
troller Johnson and County Treasurer
Schmidt 10 discuss means for the collection
OF the large amount OF delinquent taxes on
the duplicates. The amount is SO, 19i04, OF
which $00,s9i. is for 1898 and previous to
that time. The matter was merely dis
cussed and no action will be taken until an
opinion from the city attorney defines the
right or the city to pay a per cent. FOR the
collection. 1t was suggested that all inter-
ested agree to pay Treasurer Schmidt Is
per cent. for collecting the taxes, but as
the right TO do so is not clear, the city
attorney will be called upon for an opinion
1t was thought by all that the treasurer
should have 10 per cent. for the collection
The law does not make provision for this
work in a manner to compensate the treas
urer for the vast amount Of extra work nee
essary In the collection Of these small de-
linquencies. Henry Russo. Julius Reinecke,
Frank Wolcott and Controller Johnson were
appointed committee to consult the city
attorney.
Just after the meeting was called to order
Frank Moses, representing the Central
Labor Union, accompanied by two other
members of that body, called and asked the
nature of the meeting.
I'VE understand at our meeting that this
meeting was called for the purpose of put
ting out Spotters to hunt UP those who
have not paid their poll tax" he said. I'm

for that purpose. There are many laD0rlng
who are too poor to pay any taxes
and / protest against sending out spoilers
to hunt them up. IL the city must have
more revenue why 40 you nsrt assess those
men who own lots of properly and are not
now paying taxes on its full value. They are
the ones to get after
Can you name some or that KIND! Iney

Mr. Cooper.
II don't kn wv that cam, said Mr..
Moses, land besides / did not come here
for that purpose. 1t is your duty TO see
that they pay their taxes, and not mine.
Controller Johnson assured Mr.: Moses that
there is a State law providing that no legal
proceedings be taken against any man Tor
the collection of his taxes, II the amount OF
his assessed property is less than $lCo.
Then i suppose If a poor man mas peen
honest In returning his household property
and is assessed at SID he Will be hunted
up and compelled to pay his poll tax
1T is the purpose OF this meeting TO de.
wise some means for the collection or all
defined taxes that are collecible, ex-
planned Mr.. Johnson, and then Mr. Moses
left the room.

THE LOaUACIOUs MIR. EARLE
Writes n Letter to President Mason
Expressing Satisfaction.


President Mason, of the street-car COM
pany. received a letter yesterday. written
by MIR. Earle just before he left the city
early Sunday morning. The contents cam
not be learned Mr.. Mason was very much
surprised yesterday when he found it was
known such letter had been written. He
refused to discuss it's contents. From the
same source that the knowledge of the ex-
istence of tho letter came comes also the
information that the letter states that the
Philadelphia owners of stock have decided
TO act in harmony with the Pittsburg man.

satisfied with the mana cement, and see no
good reason for a change.
plain statement made by Mr. Mckee to the
Philadelphia men. The company recently
authorized a second mortgage TO cover the
floating Indebtedness OF the company. Mr..
Mckee has personally guaranteed this in
debtedness. He told the Philadelphia men
that IL they would assume the guarantee on
this debt he would turn over the manage
ment OF the property to them without ques-
ton. After considering the matter they de-
cided that the company is being properly
handled, and that no change is advisable.
Yesterday morning City Attorney Curtis
and Mayor Taggart called on the Board of
Works and had a long talk on the street-car
situation. Mr.. Curtis said the city is I'M
doubtedly bound TO recognize the City COM
pany, and also morally bound to push its
litigation with the t,flzens' company 10 as
speedy an end as is possible. All present
were in accord with these two propositions
Mr.. Taggart said he had refused 10 give
the Philadelphia men any definite idea of
what would be acceptable TO the city in the
way or proposition for franchise, but
had stated his opinion in a general way.
Mr.. Curtis said he had long considered the
advisability OF asking that successor TO
John NJ. Butler be appointed TO act as spe-
| cial counsel for the city in this litigation.

ELECTRICAL WORKERS STRIKE.
Men from Chicago VIII He Obtained
to Fill Their Places.

About dozen members of Union No. 10,
National Brotherhood of Electrical Work
ers. quit work yesterday morning and in
augurated a strike This action was taken
in furtherance of plans agreed upon at the
last meeting OF the union. The men who
quit work have been employed by the differ
ent contractors in rewriting the interiors of
buildings as to make them conform with
the insurance companies requirements, I'M
der a recent order promulgated by the in
surance inspector. On behalf of the union
Robert A. Burton said yesterday that the
strike was the result of suggestions made
at the last meeting Of the union, where 1t
was decided to try and secure uniform
wages for the inside wire men. Different
prices have been paid the union men here,
the scale being 81, s2.25 and $3.50 for day
of nine hours. the vote of the union was
for the adoption of uniform scale of 81. 30
for eight-hour day.
Yesterday afternoon meeting of the
contractors affected by the strike was held
at the Denison House, the Indianapolis Dis
trict Telegraph Company, McCurty a. Smith,
the Sanborn Electric Company, the Indian
apolis Electric Company, Varney & Nc
Ouat, G. w. Nickel and Thomas Gage being
represented at the conference. After con-
sidering the questions involved it was de-
cided to make no compromise with the
strikers, and representative of one of the
IirlnS was ueIeSaIeu 10 go 10 chicago Tor
the purpose of hiring men to take tleir
places. Mr. C.. c. Hatfield, of the District
Telegraph Company, said last night that
but three of eight men in his employ had
quit work. He thought that the men mad
been overhasty and that their action was
untimely and ill-advised IL the men had
notified the cotractorS that they would ex-
pect a change to be made-Say in two or
three weeks-instead of having given ro-
tice Saturday night that they would expect
the change in wages and hours to be made
at once, he thought some consideration
would have been given to their demands.
Under the circumstances the contractors
found themselves loaded with contracts on
which they had figured in the wage expense
at the present scale. TO grant the dema nds
Of the men at this time, he said, would
mean a heavy loss on all contracts now in
force. Mr.. Hatfield says the contractors
regard IL as unreasonable for the union to
demand that all workers snail be paid uni
form wages, as men with but little expert
ence would receive the same pay as the
most skilled workmen. He said that he had
been paying $50 a day TO one of the men
who left his service. Work will be DELAYED
for day or two until laborers are brought
here from Chicago. he says, and the only
result of the strike will be that local work
men will find themselves out of employ
ment and their places filled by men from
other cities.

has been completed, and every half-hour on
other lines The haK-hour lines Will prob
ably on College avenue. Virginia avenue,
North Illinois street and South Meridian
street. with hourly cars on East and West
Washington street and Indiana avenue or
Bake street. This would make seven lines
IN all, with a possibility of hourly cars TO
West indianapolis. These lines have oeen
under consideration, but nothing defnste mas
been settled In the matter. President Mason
says that If he can assure himself that a 10
cent rare on these owl lines would bring
enough returns to pay expenses he would
gladly inaugurate the new service. Mr. Nc
kee was surprised when he was asked why
owl cars are not run here.
Why. don't you have them he said. in
much surprise. When informed that all cars
stop between u and / o'clock, he seemed to
be unable to understand II. He thought the
city Is large enough to make such cars pay
expenses, at least. The matter Is beng Sc
riously considered, and "owp' cars may be

PRISONERS BREAKING STONE.
The WOrkhOuse Again Resumes a
Semblance of Activity.

Prisoners at the workhouse have suffered
from lack of work this winter, and some
sickness has resulted A large supply of
good. hard stone has been laid in, and yes
terday LOG men were put TO work on the
stone pile. Work the stone pile is war
ranted to start heavy perspiration upon
the most hardened of professional tramps
and ''hobos." Superintendent Wheatly says
there is a good deal of jealousy among the
honor for man TO have the privilege of
carrying stone for the other prisoners to
break The men who sit on little benches
and pound stone all day look with envy
upon their more fortunate companions who
carry the rock for them TO break. AS an
incentive to good behavior the prospect of
rising TO the position of stone carriers IS
held out to the men.
