The Indiana Republicans in til House
seem to have Jared well at the hands of
Speaker Reed in his assignments for COM
mittee work. Colonel Steele holds place
on the ways and means committee Mr..
Henry is on the committee on foreign at
fairs, a committee! of great Importance at
the present time; Mr.. Hemenway holds the
place on the second committee of the
House-appropriations; Mr.. Overstreet is
on the judiciary committee; Mr.. Johnson
continues on the important committee of
banking and currency: Mr.. Lands on In
dian affairs; Mr.. Faris chairman of man
ufactures and member of Pacific railroads.
The other members of the delegation have
good assignments. The reason that no
Craftsmanship of an important committee
has fallen to any member of the delegation
is that Republicans who were on the COM
mittees when they entered the House are
members of this Congress.

MCCARTHY KICKS BACK
GARBAGE CONTRACTOR TAKES IS
SUE WITH THE CITY.
Claims the Desiccating Plant Is Much
at FauIt-COmpIaintsC Continue
to Come In.

Garbage Contractor John r. Mccarthy is
not disposed to submit to the action Of
the Board of Works in assessing fines
amounting to nearly $500 against him for
failing to make proper collections and
wrote the board a letter yesterday COM
planning that he had not been fairly treated.
Referring to notices he had received in
forming him of fines assessed. he reminded
the board that he had been given no oppor-
tunity TO appear and be heard in reply to
complaints. This he characterized arbi-
trary and unjudicial. The board wrote
him in reply that there was no desire to
do him any injustice but he was informed
that he must live up to his contract. He
was given until the meeting next Friday
to show why he should not be fined.
Mr. Mccarthy said yesterday after
noon that the real cause for the
trouble was the inadequate provi-
sons the Indianapolis Desiccating
Company has made for disposing of
the garbage at Sellers farm, where his
men are kept waiting for hours before they
can get to unload their wagons Some of
them who could not get near the plant
drove a mile and a half into the woods
to unload He says that but for the delays
at the desiccating plant his teamsters could
collect a third more garbage. Each driver
hauls from two to three loads a day. ac-
cording to the length of the haul. With
adequate arrangements for disposing of the
garbage they could each haul three or four
loads he says. The Board Of Health sent
an inspector to the farm yesterday to YER
ify Mr. McCarthys complaint and he was
there most of the day keeping tab as to
the length of the time the drivers were de-
layed. If his statements prove true In this
respect it is probable that a very different
aspect will be given to the garbage situa-
ton The city has a contract with the des-
locating company under which it is to de-
stroy all garbage brought to It, a large
sum is paid by the city for destroying the
garbage after IL is collected and delivered
and the board tied the city up for ten
years in the face OF considerable opposi-
ton.
Smith Meyers, appointed garbage nspec-
tor at the time the collection began. said
yesterday that Things were beginning TO as
sumo a better shape Mr.: Mccarthy adj
tho afternoon informed the board that a
number of extra wagons had been put TO
work.
Complaints continued to pour into the Of

not been made duplicate slips

The South Bend Tribune of Saturday con-
tanned two and half columns of the views
of manufacturers and business men in
that city the general tenor of which is that
South Bend has already entered a period
of business activity. Such reports from that
city are important, because industries like
the Studebaker carriage and wagon works,
the Oliver chilled pillow works, the wooden
manufacturers and the extensive toy works
have a very extended field in which they
sell their goods. Consequently, when they
report y greatly improved demand and are
running full capacity there must be a gen.
eral Improvement in business. Some of
these industries are being extended and all
of them are in active operation. And yet
with all the demand for money which in
creased business causes, the rates OF dis
count are lower than year ago.
