CLARKE s SONS, CHECK.
They Get Temporary Restraining
Order Against City officials.

1ACy UCt ~ CmpOEaNEy
Order Against City Ofacia1s.
Suit was brought in the Superior Court
yesterday by Clarke & Sons, plumbers,
against the city of Indianapolis, f. M.
Johnson, city controller, and William II.
Schmidt, treasurer. The suit grows out of
the plumbing contract for the new police
station, awarded some time ago by the
Board Of Public Works. The plaintiffs sub
mitted bid on the work. On the following
day they discovered they had figured incor-
rectly, and had submitted an estimate that
was much too low. They had already de-
posted with the board their certified check
contract, should they receive it. When they
found they had made an error in the bid,
the plaintiffs say they explained the matter
to the board and asked to withdraw their
bid, which request refused. 1t is
claimed that when the contract was
awarded the board gave the plaintiffs the
work. They declined TO accept the contract
and demanded the return OF their certified
check. The board, it is charged, refused to
give up the check, but instead turned it
over to the city controller, who is about to
place 1t with the city's funds in the treas
ury. The plaintiffs asked that the defend
ants be enjoined from disposing of the
check in any way until this case can be
a temporary injunction was issued and the
case set down for hearing next Monday.
Clarke &, Sons aver that had they accepted
the contract at the figures they submitted
they would have lost not less than $500 on
the work.

WAITER SHOOTS THE COOK.
Trouble In the Denfson House IIitch-
en--WiIliam Herman Hurt.

Taylor Sharpe. a colored waiter at the
Denison House, yesterday shot William
Herman, the head cook the bullet enter
ing the feshy part of the left leg. Herr
man did not consider the wound of suffi-
cient consequence to cause him to stop
working, and merely allowed the physician
called 10 bandage it. Taylor fired four
shots at him, but only one took effect.
The trouble occurred in the kitchen dur
ing the dinner hour. Manager Cullen said
1t was on account of trouble which Sharp
had with an under cook. Sharp was dis
charged, and blamed the head cook for it.
Sharp. who was arrested. said at the jail:
al have been waiting on some OF the most
particular regular boarders OF the house.
/ was obliged TO make many complaints to
the cooks, and finally to the steward. This
angered the fry cook, and he refused
to wait on me. Then noticed all the cooks
seem to have IL in for me, and l could
not get anything. l was then discharged,
and made up my mind that If / couldn't
work Herman should not work tried to
shoot him in the leg"

THE PROBATE COMMISSIONER
Mr.. O'Bryan to Serve Ont His Term
His Probable Successor.

The rumor was current yesterday that
Judge Allen, of the Circuit Court, had APP
pointed Merle Walker to the position of
probate commissioner, to succeed Gus
O'Bryan, the present incumbent of the Of
flee. Judge Allen stated yesterday after
noon that he contemplated no immediate
change in the office of probate commits
sioner.
II have no intention of removing Mr..
O'Bryan," he said, until his time is out.
We both understand that. He has until a
year from next February to serve, and I'M
less he should voluntarily give up the place
he will remain. His health is not good, and
Ii may be that he will decide to give UP
the work on this account. Otherwise there
will be no change. 1t is not unlikely, how
ever, that some one may go into the office
and work with Mr. O'Bryan in order to get
the run of the business"
1t seems to be the understanding that
Judge Allen has Mr.. Walker in mind as a
successor to Mr.. O. Bryan. Mr. Walker has
been one of the deputy prosecutors under
Mr.. Wiltsie for the last two years.

GAS INSPECTOR" CAUGHT
ENTERED THE HOME OF ID. A. CHEM
OWETH ON NORTH DELAWARE ST.
Detained by the Aged Mother of the
Householder Till Detective
Splan Came.

Detective Splann yesterday arrested a
man who, it is believed. is one of the al
legged gas filters that have been going
about the city claiming to be in the employ
of the Indianapolis Gas Company, and
thereby gaining entrance to houses, and the
opportunity either to make observations for
future burglary or to pick up stray val
uables at the time. The fellow does not an
swer the description of the man who visited
James Dicksons house and others on the
North Side. but his game is similar, and it
is known that he is fraud
The arrest was brought about through D.
A. Chenoweth and his mother, living at No
AL North Delaware street The man called
at Mr.. Chenoweth's office Saturday and
told him that it would be necessary that
his gas fittings be inspected. Mr. Cheno-
weth told the man to call at the house yes
terday. In the meantime Mr.. Chenoweth
read in the papers the account of the visits
of the fellow to other residences, and the
fact that the Indianapolis Gas Company
denied that the fellow had any connection
with the company. He at once notified the
police, and Captain Splann decided to be
on hand when the man should go to lin
spect" the Chenoweth house.
Yesterday morning the detective was
there, but he came very near missing his
man by picking up tramp He saw the
tramp go into the yard and come out. This
man failed to give an account of himself
and Splann put him in his buggy and drove
him to the police station. He was satisfied
however, that the tramp was not the "gas
Inspector for whom he was looking, and
he hurried back to the house.
While he was gone Mrs. Chenowetn, the
mother of d. A. Chenoweth, was entertain

her best to keep him until the detective
should return. The stranger entered the
house boldly when the door was opened in
response to his ring, and said he had been
sent there to inspect the fittings. Mrs.
Chenoweth refused to allow him to go
through the house, and remained with him
In the hall. But the man was persistent,

telephone, and pretended that he was talk
ing with Mr.. ChenoWeth- When he turned
away from the telephone he assured Mrs.
Chenoweth that he was instructed to pro-
coed with the inspection. Mrs. Chenoweth
argued with him until Captain Splann re-
turned and placed him under arrest.
On the face of matters, without the testi-
mony of any one connected with the gas
company, the man is a fraud. He carried
with him square monkey wrench, such
as might be used in a machine shop or In
carpenters shop, but which has no place in
plumbers or gas filters outfit. The only
might be used by a carpet layer. Neither
tool would ever be found in the hands of
gas filter or Inspector. He gave the name
of John II. Johnson, and admitted that he
was not gas inspector. He said he be-
longed in Louisville.

TO FILL BuNTING's SHOES.
LabOring Men Urging Appointment of
John Robinson.

At the Grand Hotel, last night, President
Mcguire and Messrs. Mack and Morse, OF
the Board of Public Safety, met with rep
resentatives of various labor organizations,
who pressed the board to appoint John Rob-
inson to the position of building inspector
President Mcguire, after the meeting, said
that the board had not considered what to
do with the designations of Richard G. Her
rick, clerk of the board, and Market Mas
ter E. M. Goebel. He said that these places
had not been decided yet. The commissions
ers said they had made no promises to the
labor organizations with reference to ap-
pointing Robinson. They said that they
were anxious to fiji the place with a man
who will be acceptable to all, and who is
competent to fill it. Neither commissioner
would say whether it has been decided to
remove George Bunting, the present in
spector. Among politicians the opinion pre-
walls that change will be made, and that
Robinson stands a good show. for the APP
pointment 1t is believed that Market Mas
ter Goebel will be reappointed. 1t is con-
ceded that If the commissioners have their
own way Mr. Herrick will also be reap
pointed.
