TO KEEP MONEY AT HOME
PRESBYTERIANS CONFER THE
"INDIANA PLAN" FOR MISS
Governor Mount, DIR. Kane and Others
Preparing for Next Battle in
General Assembly.

Dr. Kane, of Bloomington. ILL.,, and four
or five other Presbyterian divines % con-
siderable prominence came TO the city last
Tuesday night and held a conference with
Governor Mount preparatory to the battle
royal that will be fought in the next Pres
byterian General Assembly on the subject
of home missions. The plan that has been
followed since the organization of the board
Of home missions has been to forward all
home mission contributions to it in New
York and the board then appropriated
them. A few years ago Dr. Kane Governor
Mount and Rev. Frank Hayes, all then
members of the Charlottesville Presbytery,
formulated the Indiana PLAN" contemplate
ing that each State should care for its own
home mission contributions and work and
then, if any surplus was left, it should be
forwarded to the board for redistribution
among the weaker States. The Indiana
presbyteries took it up and those of Illinois
and Ohio soon followed Now the struggle
is looming up in the General Assembly and
promises to be interesting in view of the
criticisms that were passed upon the board
at the Winona Assembly for the erection
of the costly building in New York.
in the East" said Governor Mount yester
day, they are of course anxious that these
vast sums should continue to go through
New York, but we intend to fight for the,
right of each State to attend To its own
needs first and we shall win" The Gov
ernor will ask Dr. Withrow, chairman of
meeting of the committee, which is to be
held soon in this city.

HE is JACK OF ALL TRADES.
Master Fishback Puts His Little
Stinger Into Mr.. HannabIe.

w. p. Fishback, master in chancery, filed
in the Federal Court yesterday his report
in the suit of the Hudnut Company against
the American Hominy Flake Company The
master had been asked to look into the
character of a note for $500 which figured
in the suit. Lowe Carey had purchased
all the stock of the American Company
and executed this note and a chattel mort
gage, securing it to John L. Green as COM
mission in making certain trade for Car
ey. The note was sold to c. A. Hannable
who in turn sold it. to Rhodes & Hub
bard. The master throws out the note and
mortgage and expresses some views" as
to Hannable thus:
Mr. Hannable IS a gentleman engaged
in various pursuits. He is a physician and
note-shaver and is engaged in three or four
or five enterprises, among which is the
manufacture of bicycle chains, BIZ
railroads, X-ray machines and buying
master adds in view of his testimony
that he Is an expert prevaricator and the
testimony he has given in this case in order
to establish the bona fides Of the parties
to this note is, in the masters judgment
wholly unreliable"
The master further points out that the
gentlemen, Rhodes and Hubbard are by
no means entirely innocent purchasers.

THEY SPURN CHEAP BEER
SALOON MEN ADOPT RESOLUTIONS
AGAINST A CUT In PRICE.
An Illinois Company Tries to Break
the Local Market by n Reduce
ton of So Keg.

For a time yesterday the city brewing
companies were in a state of nervous APP
prehension. 1t looked as if the price of
lager would take material drop, and there
was a great deal of hurrying around prior
to the meeting of the local branch of the
Liquor League in the afternoon. This or
ganization took the matter in hand and
passed a set of resolutions that will keep
the price of the foaming beverage up to
the standard price.
Early yesterday morning the local agent
of the Western Brewery Company of Belle
vile, ILL.,, notified the city saloon men that
his people had reduced the price of beer
from 81 to 81 a barrel This cut of SO on
key of beer was a paralyzer, but the saloon
men say that no time during the day was
the offer considered seriously. In the aft
ernoon, when the Liquor League met to
transact routine business, the matter of this
reduction was taken up and discussed. The
saloon men were against it, and unanimous
ly adopted the following resolutions, written
out on the Indianapolis Brewing Companys
memoranda paper:
Whereas 1t has come to our knowledge
that the Western Brewery Company, of
Belleville, ILL.,, which has lately established
an agency here, has cut the price of beer
to 81 barrel.
Resolved, That in view of said cut in
price we deem it essential to our interests
and the interest of every saloon man in the
city to discountenance such action on the
part of said Western Brewery Company.
Resolved, That 1t is detrimental to the
business in every way; first, it will neces-
state the sale of beer at two glasses for
cents; second it will create demand for
larger glasses; third, 1t will place very
cheap and inferior grade of beer the
market, which will be disastrous to the sa-
loon man, who prides himself in serving
his customers the best the market affords.
Resolved, That all first-class saloons
want quality and not quantity; cheap beer
creates cheap wages, decentralization OF
trade and stronger competition.
BE ii further resolved, That we hereby
express our disapproval of the said reduc-
ton in the price of beer by the said West
ern Brewing Company, and pledge ourselves
to in every way possible to keep up the
standard of high grade beer now in use and
that we will in no way countenance any
attempt to lower the standard. This applies
to all breweries doing business in the city
of indianapolis"
stated, is located at Belville, Ill. Its agent
here was formerly of the Pabst Brewing
Company. 1t is understood that none of the
local companies offered to meet the reduc-
ton and that no beer was sold for less
than cents glass. Some of the saloons
set out "schooners" for their customers and
they say one of these glasses contains a
quantity almost equal to two ordinary beer
mugs.

II. E. Painter Acquitted.

Timon E. Painter was acquitted by jury
in the Federal Court yesterday of the
charge of passing raised bill. Painter
was clerk in hotel at Danville, ILL.,, and
in the course of business took in this raised
bill. The landlord made him stand the loss
and he kept the bill. He was charged with
having passed it upon the keeper of a baw-
dy house at Marion and his defense was
that he had given it to her by mistake and
had rectfied the error as soon as he found
it out. He rendered in evidence a receipt
for the money by the woman. This receipt
brought a hearty laugh out at the expense
of the district attorney. who claimed that
it's date had been changed from Aug. to
Aug. with intent to deceive.
