That Contested Election.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
1t is well TO say all the good things pos
sibe of the dead but IL is not we'll to mis-
state history or malign the actions of
others to praise even the dead. In the very
interesting sketch of the late Senator Voor-
hees, in your issue of Sunday you say that
it was in 1867 he was unseated on a con-
test. and after rejecting upon the congress
sional committee which passed upon the
case, you say: There cannot be an honest
doubt at this distance from the excitement
or the time that their report was inspired
Dy the mahgnity of partisan injustice" A
ingly reelected by the constituency of his
native Wabash, he strobe two years later
into the House of Representatives In
1854. and not in 1866. the election which the
contest was made was held. The opposing
candidates were Henry ID. Washbourne and
Mr.. Voorhees,. On the face of the returns

seat was contested on the grounds of gross
frauds charged to have been committed.
taken gives at least very fair show of
color for the action of the committee and
of the House. In fact. few cases of con-
test are better maintained. He was UNI
seated in 1866, and il was not until 1869 that
he again entered Congress. In 1866 the con-
testing candidates were General Wash
bourne and Hon. Sol Claypool, and Mr.
Washbourne was elected by a majority of
513. Two years iater in 1865 the candidates

COUNCILMEN CALL A HALT
Afraid the Extravagances VIII Hurt
the Party This Fall


Part of the $4,000 appropriation that is
to be made for the Department of Safe
ty will be used to purchase and equip sub
police stations where they are needed. West
Indianapolis has a good lookup in the rear
of the firehouse and there is a good town
hall and building in Haughville which can
be utilized for police purposes. 1t is believed
that not great deal will have TO be ex-
pended in this direction AS soon as tie
money is available and the board has de-
cided on the locations of the new stations
the question of the reorganization of the
police force will be taken up. This is a
subject that has received a great deal of
consideration, and has led 10 many confer
ences between the board, Superintendent
Colbert and members of the Council. who
have bene consulted about the financial end
of the change.
The appointment of twenty new patrol
men n few weeks ago makes an additional
expense of $1,000 month-$l4. 400. To APP
point four more Sergeants four lieuten-
ants at high salaries would further increase
the expenses OF the department. All these
matters have received considerable thought
Now that campaign is approaching some
OF the cOuncilmen are inclined 10 call a
halt In extravagant expenditures. Nothing
can be done without the Council makes APP
preparations. Some provision viii have 10
be made to pay every additional officer that
is appointed. as the controller and mayor
adopted the policy last fall OF cutting every
department down TO the lowest notch in
order to avoid an increase i'm the tax levy.
ana there Is no emergency surplus The
Safety Board has already felt the effects of
money available to make repairs that are
necessary at some OF the firehOuses.

A year ago a number of plans for i'm

credit has been acquired and about used up.
Already the city has assumed an obliga-
tion of s350,000 in the way of park bonds
that are to run for thirty years and bear
interest at the rate of per cent. Tonight
In the Council there will be an ordinance

Leads to an Arrest.

Harvey Smith, son of Marion Smith. of
North Indianapolis, spent part of yester-
day afternoon about the resort known as
Brighton Beach and the remainder of the
day in a cell at the police station. He is
nineteen years old. His father thought he
was old enough to know better. but it APP
pears that the boy took his fathers revolt
yer out of the house before he left home.
In friendly scuffie the pistol fell out of the
boys pocket. Ii was Snatched up by an
other young man and another scuffle for
possession of the weapon took place Smith
finally got hold OF ii, and then, just TO see
if II was loaded, pulled the trigger. The
sound of the shot attracted the attention of
Patrolmen Moore and Lyons and they
placed the young man under arrest, charg-
ing him with carrying concealed weapons
and shooting in the city limits.

Was Given the Earth.
Controller Johnson found that the rec
ords of West Indianapolis, including the
book of the old town trustees and the sub
sequent Council minute book. were won
derfully and fearfuIly made" Some of the
legislators of the suburb seemed to have
very peculiar ideas on the question of Leg
islation. The Citizens Street-railroad Com
pany was given the earth, as Mr.. Johnson
expressed it. The gas and water contracts
are receiving some attention. Residents in
all the suburbs hope TO get natural gas at
city ordinance rates, now that they have
been annexed. An effort will be made TO
learn what can be done along this line. The
tract with Haughville and West Indian
apoliS Tor furnishing water. The city at
torney will be asked to examine them To
ascertain If they complicate the question of
new contract in any wise. The citys con-
tract has expired, and although the COM
pany was asked to make concessions before
new contract is made, nothing ever came
OF 1t. The water works question has had
TO give room to annexation, etc. Some new
questions may come up as result OF an
nexation. Nj. A. Downing, president of the
Board of Public Works, said few days
ago that the city was no nearer the So
luton of the water question than a year
ago, when it was tacitly agreed that moth
ing could be done owing to the fact that
the constitutional limit OF 2 per cent. would
nave 10 De exceeded 10 acquire the plant.
Mr.. Downing said that the city would like
ly appraise the plant in order to learn its
exact value
What's the use of appraising. if no way
has been found TO buy it?' he was asked.
Perhaps somebody will come along and
buy ii for the city" said he.
MIR. Downing said that he had received
no intimation that any one with that much
public spirit might be found.
Just now the new station house is en-
crossing considerable time from the Board
of Works and the mayor. Saturday i.dolph
Scherrer, who was appointed supervising
architect, spent some time with the mayor.
Mr.. Scherrer had big roll of plans and
blue prints in his hands when he disap-
peared into the mayors private office.
