TO CAPTURE SCORCHERS.


Sergeant Laporte has laid aside his uni
form the past few days and has been giving
special attention to bicycle "scorchers" who
terror.ze women and children living on
North Side thoroughfares. The sergeant is
bicycle rider himself and has been very
successful in stopping fast riders His plan
is to dismount and secure q position behind
tree or telegraph pole where he can COM
mand a view Of the street. He made severa.
arrests on North Meridian street yesterday.
Charles Kellenbeck. Of Irvington. and Rob-
ert Trittipo. of this city, were captured near
Second street. They will have to answer the
charge Of fast riding in Police Court this
morning. A number of other riders were
cautioned to go slower and were warned
that they would be arrested IL the offense
were repeated. Other streets than North
Meridian VIII be watched.
Superintendent Colbert has personal
knowledge of the evils of fast bicycle rid
ing. One evening this week he and his wife,
accompanied by their children. We're out
walking. AS they were crossing Meridian
street the superintendent had hard work 10
get the little people out of the way of a
scorcher who was riding towards them The
superintendent has found II unsafe 10 allow
his children to play on the sidewalk In front
of his home, and Is compelled to keep them

SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION.
The Fight I'm Appers Distrfct-Cfty
Employees Taking a Hand.

Every man who announces himself as a
candidate for school commissioner Is being
carefully scrutinized these days. The pur-
pose of the scrutiny is to determine whether
he is influenced. remotely or directly. by the
old-time Frenzel clique. These precautions
are taken because 1t was discovered that the
clique is attempting to suggest several can
didates in each district.
The organized anti-cliquee say that the
Foster committee will haveVto agree unan-
imously upon a candidate to succeed Appel.
or that the committee and it's candidates
will be repudiated and another candidate
chosen There is considerable opposition to
Allfree, and efforts are being made to induce
the committee to agree upon Edward Dean
rather than Allfree. Mr. Foster dissented TO
the suggestion that the committee agree
upon no one dealing with Frenzels bank.
declaring It to be unfair to condemn every
man who happened to have business rela-
tons with corporations with which Mr.
Frenzel might happen to be Identified. Mr..
Foster vouches that Allfree is not subject
to any undue influence. 1t is asserted that
Mr.. Foster, in appointing the committee, so
designed 1t that each candidate might be rep
resented, and at the same time so that
neither Of them might have a majority.
q
cliquers have grown suspicious of DR.. Van
Vorhis's candidacy. They reason thus: Van
Vorhis's law partner is Mr.. Spencer, and
Mr.. Spencer is friend of Superintendent
Goss, who has the support of the FRENCH
clique. 1t is said that by such a round
about course influence is often exerted.
The following appeared in an afternoon
''At the last school election the brewery
syndicate assisted the present Clique In
every district where the help was needed,
and, though there Is rule that the police
and firemen Shall not take part in politics,
it is alleged those in the departments who
owe their positions to the influence of the
brewery syndicate have been secretly at
work for some time. The superintendent
was formerly an employee of the brewery
syndicate, Is ward committeeman"
In commenting on the above statement last
night, Superintendent Colbert said that re-
ports that the police department was taking
part in politics were false and that he
courted a thorough investigation. He read
the section OF the city charter which pro-
vides that any police officer found guilty OF
ject to heavy fine, and shall be imprisoned
for not more than six months.
'If any person." said he has information
leading him to believe that l or any other
police officer is violating the city charter,
let him file an affidavit and demand an In
vestigation by the courts This department
is not dabbing in politics. and intend to
see that 1t keeps out OF politics as much as
possible"
Herman Kaulla, who has been suggested
for school commissioner to succeed Loeper,
declares that he is not a candidate. He says
that he came from Geamany but six years
ago, and knows nothing Of school affairs.

Notice was received by the Big Four road

Milwaukee, the steamer route, which had
handled many thousands of tons OF freight
annually, was Abandoned, and the settlement
OF the trouble means the diversion of large
quantities of freight TO this line, much of il
being export business. When this trouble
came up the Big -Four was doing a very
heavy business. and IL was a serious blow TO
the business of the Michigan division. The
traffic arrangement Is resumed. IL is stated
under even more favorable conditions than
before. This will do much to offset the d.

To-day the agreement which was to have
gone into effect April 13 on class and COM
modify rates becomes effective. it being an
nounced that every line is now in shape TO
issue the new tariff. The Cincinnati, Ham
ilton & Dayton, the Louisville, New Albany
& Chicago and some Of the Vanderbilt lines
were slow in getting out their tariffs. but
yesterday announced that all are now ready.
The new tariff places some articles in other
ciassihcations, but on but few articles is
there any advance on the old rates, and In
these cases the shippers nave admitted the
justice OF the change. Under the change
the making OF rates Is greatly simplified.
and no agent will have any excuse for nam
lag other than the proper rate.

The bicycle Question.

There Is likely to be all sorts of trouble
among the roads of the Western Passenger
Association regarding the charge for car
rying bicycles. The Wisconsin Central.
which annouced some days ago that it
would carry the wheels free, finds itself
confronted with a serious condition When
1t gave the notice it was under the impress
sion that the matter was one of those upon
which any road in the association can take
independent action after giving ten days
notice 10 the chairman of the association
IL hnds now that this particular matter
does not come under that head, and that
IL II is DESTROYS OF carrying wheels for
nothing II must withdraw from the asso-
citation 1t is not likely that the rules OF
the association Will be changed 70 allow the
adjustment OF the charge as it requires a
unanimous vote of all the lines to change
any OF the rules, and several OF the roads
are determined that there snail be a. charge
for the carrying OF bikes" and they Will
not under any circumstances vote for the
adjustment of the rule under which the
charges are now made. The entire matter
will probably come up at the next meeting
of the Western Passenger Association, and
an effort viii be made TO settle the whole
thing at that time; Notice was given by

that Ii will meet the action Of the Illinois
