EMERICH AND BALLwEG.
Both Are Actively Supporting Harding
for Mayor.

Efforts have been made by the Democratic
organ to create the impression that Fred
erick w. Bailweg and John H. Emerich,
WelI-knOwn business men of the Fifteenth
ward, intend to vote for Mayor Taggart
Mr.. Emerich was nominated for council
man at large at the Republican convention
Mr.. Ballweg was nominated for the Council
from the Fifteenth ward. For business rea-
sons both declined the nominations. The
organ seized on this fact as indicating that
they are not in harmony with the Repub-
hcan party. This is not true. Neither man
has ever expressed any such intention.
Il was not a candidate for the nominal
tion,' said Mr.. Emerich, and did not know
that my name was being considered until 1
was informed of my nomination. / said at
once that 1 could not accept, as my bust
ness requires my attention. L do not be-
lieve in man accepting honors of that
character unless he is in a position to make
a canvass and work for his party. A num-
Der Of my friends urged me to accept and
consented not to act hastily, but after look
ing at the question carefully l found that
was not in a position to take the nominal
ton. I wrote Mr.. Gerard that 1 could not
run on account of business reasons.
ut has been suggested that you intend to
vote for Taggart?" suggested the reporter.
Il was out of the city and never author
lied such statement. l paid no attention
to it, as men who know me would not be-
lieve such report. l am not going to vote
for MIR. Taggart."
Mr. Ballweg said that before the Repub-
hcan primary in his ward friends went to
him and asked him to become a candidate
For business reasons and because he could
not spare the time in politics Mr.. Ballweg
said that he declined to be candidate He
says that he informed those who talked to
him on the question that he would have to
decline the nomination if it were rendered
to him. His name was presented and he
was nominated without his own consent.
Republicans recognized that Mr.. Ballweg
would make a very strong candidate. and it
was believed that he could defeat" Com
modore Higgins without much question.
and for this reason they insisted on nomi-
mating him. After he declined Mr. Walters.

ORPHANS HOME ANNIVERSARY
Celebrated at the First Presbyterian
Church-Tallx by Gov. Mount.

The celebration of the forty-seventh an
niversary of the establishment of the In
dianapolis Orphan Asylum took place last
night at the First Presbyterian Church
There was large audience present and the
exercises were very interesting. Many of
the youthful inmates of the home were
present and a number of them, attired in
the uniform garb provided by the institu-
ton, sat on the rostrum.
Governor Mount delivered an opening adj
dress in which he spoke of the work Of
the institution and the gladness and sun
shine it had brought into many lives He
said the home had accomplished a work
that would live on, and, indeed it's work
has but just begun 1t will continue to aid
the suffering and unfortunate. Gov
ernor Mount introduced Rev. Dr.
Haines, who reviewed the works Of
the home and spoke of the women
who have for years devoted their energies
to its up-building. MRS. John Bradshaw was
mentioned having been a member of the
board of managers for thirty years Mrs.
Frederick Bags until recently was treas
urer OF the board, position she held for
thirty-three years. Mrs John Love, Mrs.
Henry Coburn and Mrs. Robert McOuat
have been identified with the interests of the
home for many years.
An average of one hundred children are
given shelter in the home the year around.
Inc reports reau 70 The duulence last night
referred to the condition OF the home from
May, 1886, 10 May, 1897, which ended the
fiscal year. During the year there were no
deaths in the home proper. In the depart
ment devoted to the foundlings there were
nineteen deaths. AT the close of the fiscal
year the institution had received $4,000 from
different sources and had paid out about
SIT 900. Since last May the home has re-
ceived the S. 600 bequest from the Thomas
Bassett estate. The bequest is a trust fund,
the income on which can be used by the
home. 1t is estimated that since the institu-
ton was started homes have been found
for $500 children. 1t is the purpose now
of the board of managers TO erect a build
ing for foundiings, and ii is expected this
may be accomplished in the next year.
Included in the programme last night were
recitations by Charlie Bracken, Ruth Cr0s-
dale, lola Hutsell, Bessie Pottenger, Edith
Hutsel and Harry Adams.
