PRUNING KNIFE IN USE
CONTROLLER JOHNSON sLAsHINC. IN
ALL DIRECTIONS,
But VIII Not Say Just What He Is
Doing with the Estimates of ST.
100000 for City Expenses.

City Controller Johnson is having a merry
time with his little pruning knife, which
he whetted a few weeks ago for the pur-
pose of cutting DOWN the estimates of the
various departments for next years ex-
penses He has been carrying the knife I'M
sheathed for more than a week and has
been using 1t, but he has not yet used it
with sufficient effect to bring the demands
for money within the probable receipts for
the year. Every department has asked for
money largely in excess of the amount
used this year, and each one insists that
it's own claims are of greater weight than
the claims of any other department. Thus
the fight goes merrily on. Last Monday
Mr.. johnson met the members of the Park
Commission and discussed their demand
for S62, 900. The controller wanted to cut it
ir two parts and give the board one of
the pieces, but the board offered great OBJ
lection to this Then last Friday he talked
with the members of the Board of Public
Works and the Mayor. The conference
lasted almost an entire afternoon but when
it adjourned an agreement was no nearer
than before it began.
The various departments want over
81 900 next year, which is more than
500 900 in excess of the estimated receipts
Controller Johnson was instructed by
Mayor Taggart at the recent cabinet meet
ing to confer with the departments and see
what reductions can be made in their esti-
mates. He will not give out the result of
his conferences. but his silence leads to the
conclusion that the conferences have re-
suited in nothing and therefore he has
nothing to give out. Under the law the
COUNCIL must make the appropriations this
month, or the appropriations for this year
viii be continued for next year.

a BIG ASSEMBLY GROUND
GEN. JOHN COBURN DRAWS A LES
son FROM THE CONVENTION.
City Needs Hall for Huge Gather
ings--It Might Be Erected in
the Outskirts.

General John Coburn, in a talk with
Journal reporter yesterday, preached few
ideas in regard to a plan for holding the
big convention crowds that are bound to
come to Indianapolis in the future. Said
he:
Nothing was more apparent to our PEG,
pie during and since the recent national
Convention than the necessity of q great
hall for public assemblageS. Inc people
are meeting constantly In greater and
greater conventions of all kinds-poltiCal,
religious semitic, literary, agricultural
and social. The agitation of great Dues
lions interesting TO large number, numbers OF the
must look in the future for vast assem-
blies every year. To accommodate these
meetings of the people. private casltal can
not be had or invested, for men of bust
ness habits and ability will not invest in
buildings of such character. The duty of
construction must deyolve upon the people.
The land in the city for such Il building,
if in a central ,ccauon. would cost too
much, so that a Location in the outskirts
of the city would have to be obtained. This
can be done at a reasonable price.
THE State needs military camp ground
of at least eighty acres for the encamp-
ment and drill ground. A part of this
might be appropriated for great hall.
Such a hall would occupy almost an acre
Of land The building need not be ex-
pensve--ony one lofty story-a ground-fioor
room, with galleries. II should be plain and
could make it. Land can be bought for
such purposes for from $50 10 $3.50 acre
within four miles of the monument, which
is easily approachable by both electric and
steam cars. If desirable. land little fur
Their out can be got for less money

ments in irrigation ard a public park

with the military and public assembly
ground and that portion of land nearest
the city could be used for the great ass
sembly hall. A part of this land might be
appropriated for athletic exercises upon
which those who engage in them might
erect suitable structures. 1t may be said
that the public hall and athletic grounds
must be inside the populous portion of the
city But this Involves too great ex-
pense and makes the project impractcable.
Those who attended the world 3 fair at
Chicago know how easily the multitude
can be transported beyond the limits of a

PROBABLY FATAL FALL.
Michael FOlzenlogeI and Two other
Men Seriously Hurt.

AS the result of a weak plank in scat
fold at schoolhouse No. Michael Fozenlo-
GEL of 100 South Meridian street, John Me-
Laughlin, of 8 McGill street, and Edward
Seifert of sc Martin street, three employees
of Hetherington & Berner, fell yesterday,
and were badly injured. The scaffold was
one of those built from window, and was
made of light boards, which in this case
were new. though it is believed that
of them was defective. The three men
were on the scaffold doing cornice work
when the accident occurred, and when the
board upon which all three were standing
broke they all dropped to the ground,
distance of about forty feet. The ambu-
lance was called and removed the suffering
men to the City Hospital, where an exam
ination was made. FolZenloge Jared the
worst of them all. with his spine injured.
paralyzing both legs, and his shoulder blade
broken. Mclaughlin suffered broken COL
lar bone, and his left arm and right leg
are also broken. Seifert appeared to be
the least injured, but 1t was learned that
his back and hips were seriously hurt, max
ing his condition more critical. The ply
sicians express little hope of Folzenloge1s
recovery, though he was resting easy last
night
