convention. The Commercial Club is urging

CITY BIG ENOUGH
BAPTIsTs WILL PROBABLY HOLD An
NIvERsARIEs HERE IN So
Resolution MT the First Church Last
Night mt Rev. MIR. Rondthaler's
Church.

At a largely-attended prayer meeting at
the First Baptist Church last evening 1t
was unanimously voted to invite the Bap-
lists to hold their national anniversaries In
May, 1897, at indianapolis. Rev. d. j. Eli
son. pastor of the church, stated that the
committee Of the national body which has
in charge the selection of the place for
these anniversaries had intimated to him
that Indianapolis would be the choice, IL
an invitation were extended.
These anniversaries are held In May each
year and bring together several thousand
Baptists from all parts of the United
States. The only expense to the local
churches where they are held is to provide
a hall large enough, and the Baptists of
this city VIII arrange, should Indianapolis
be selected, for the use of Tomlinson Hall
during the week the body is In session.
1t Is believed that the hotel accommoda-
lions are now ample enough to accommo-
date the large number who usually attend
these anniversaries AS the delegates come
from all parts of the United States IL will
give Indianapolis an opportunity to let
strangers see what a beautiful city II Is
when 1t has on its best duds in May, 1897.

CENTENNIAL COMMISSION MEETS.
VIII Continue to Obtain Expressions
from Over the State.

The meeting OF the executive committee
Of the centennial commission yesterday at
the Statehouse was attended by all the MEM
btrs except two. Charles l.. Jewett, OF New
Albany. and Frank McKeen. of Terre Haute.
Mr. Jewett sent word that he was I'M
a~yoidably detained at Madison. The men,
bers OF the commission who were present
were Colonel Lilly, chairman; Philip w.
Frey. OF Evansville: Charles McCulloch. Of
Fort Wayne; Eli Marvin. OF Frankfort:
Joseph I. Irwin, OF Columbus; Hugh Dough-
erty. OF Button, and Z. b. Martindale, Of
this city. The session was principally oc-
crpied In considering the correspondence
which has been conducted during the last
few months for the purpose of ascertaining
the sentiment OF citizens OF the State re-
garcing the proposed celebration. OF the
several hundred letters received from differ
ent sections of the State. representing near
~ every county. IL was found that the COR
reSpondence was so largely and so enthusiasts
tically favorable to a great celebration In
1900 that there could be no other conclusion
than that IL Is the general desire OF the
leading citizens of the State that II should
be held The committee. however, took no
other action on the matter than TO authorize
the continuance Of this correspondence for
the purpose or getting the fu.-est possible
expression.
II was believed by the committee that
this work will he sufficiently advanced by
fall to enable them 10 then take up the mat
ter or formulating a report TO the Legisla-
fure. The committee adjourned 10 meet at
the call of the chosrmaE.

THE SCHOOL LAWS REVISION.
Commercial Club Has Not Yet Selected
It's Committed.

The Commercial Club has not yet taken
action on the subject of the selection of a
committee to examine the school laws of
the State, with a view to making recon-
mendations for their revision by the next
General Assembly. Secretary woollen said
yesterday that. as the committee would
necessarily be made up largely of lawyers,
IL had been thought best not to make the
appointments until just before the summer
vacation. The work will require a good
deal OF time. as the avs will have to be
carefully examined. 1t was thought best
not to put the work upon the attorneys
until they had plenty of time at their dis
posal. Just now a great many attorneys
are interested in political matters and are
busy getting ready to dispose of their cases
before the summer adjournment.
This question was first discussed at a
banquet OF the Commercial Club several
weeks ago. when the Ohio law. known as
the Cleveland plan," was thoroughly dis
cussed. The question was referred to the
board OF directors of the Commercial Club,
who subsequently directed the president to
make the appointments.

MORE LETTERS FROM HOLMES.
Indicate hat He Denies that He Killed
Howard Pitexel.

Coroner Castor and Henry w. Bullock
each received a letter yesterday from muir
derer Holmes. In his letter to Mr.. Bullock,
Holmes says that his attorney. Rotan. will
come TO Indianapolis after his execution to
aid Mr.. Bullock, but does not say for what
purpose, or what Is to be gained by any
thing that may be done after the execution.
In the letter he speaks about his confession,
but then goes on to say other things that,
while not exactly a denial that the confess
sion is true, indicates that he does deny that
he killed Howard Pitezel.
In his letter TO Coroner Castor he says he
did not say In a recent interview with de-
tective Geyer that he did not kill the Pitezel
children. and that he will not say so to
tablish the fact that another person was In
this city for twenty-four hours after he left
II, and that this other person also met the
them and Mrs. Pitezei in Toronto. Coroner
Castor will go TO Philadelphia tomorrow.
