PERKINS ELECTED.
Succeeds sHimself as United states
Senator.

senator.
SACRAMENTO, Cal, Jan. 12.---Sen-
ator George G.. Perkins was today
elected to succeed himself as the rep
resentative of the State of California
in the Senate of the United States for
the next six years. The opposition to
Perkins was short but strenuous, the
only recognized competitor of the sue
cessful candidate being Samuel II.
ShoTtridge whose ultimate withdrawal
from the race was made in the same
manly and courageous manner that
had characterized his entry into the
exalted political arena and his conduct
and methods while the battle was in
full swing. He entered the struggle
on the solicitation of his friends in the
hope that his candidacy and success
would tend to harmonic party differ =
ences, and aid in maintaining the high
prestige of the party whose welfare
he always has at heart.

To those not on the inside of military

WEAKNESS OF MILITIA.
May Thinks Officers Should
BE Better Posted.

At the school of instruction yesterday for
the National Guard of this State Lieutenant
May, of the regular army, who has been
assigned for duty with the Indiana militia,
DEVOTED two hours in explaining to the Off
in attendance the regulations of the
army, and which govern the National Guard
as well, giving special attention to those
gymnastic exercises which make men more
soldierlike in appearance. He went through
the exercises which the militiamen are sup
posed to perform every day. He says that
the chief weakness in the militia of this
State is the inefficiency of the company Off
GERS, especially captains, who have Il very
limited idea of tactics and of the laws
which provide for the support of the Ma
tionaI Guard 1t would be better for the
State in his opinion, to maintain fewer SOL
dierS and have them more efficient than to
have so many companies with their present
degree of efficiency. At present the guard
is made up of forty companies of infantry,
three batteries, a hospital corps and sig
nal corps The two colored companies in
this city are not yet assigned to any regi-
ment, but are known as separate COM
panieS.
The school of instruction closed in the
afternoon, and the officers believe that it
will result in great good to the guard. A
school of this character will probably be
held each year.

FRANKIE WAS SURPRISED.
Didn't Know His Disappearance Had
Caused Such Stir.

Edward w. Little returned to the city last
evening at $3.50 o'clock from Dallas, Tex,
where he went to find Contractor c. c..
FRANKIE. Mr.. Little was successful in his
quest. He found FRANKIE alive and well.
The latter seemed very much surprised at
the talk and excitement that had been oc-
casioned by his going away. He told Mr..
Little that he sent word to his wife that
he was going out of the city for a week or
longer on business, and supposed that was
a sufficient explanation of his departure.
Mr. Little found FRANKIE without any trou-
BILE last Monday evening, and was with him
until nearly noon the next day. FRANKIE ex-
planned that his idea in going to Texas was
to look over the situation there, with the
intention of removing permanently to a
stock farm. FRANKIE explained to Mr.. Little
that with his large family, mostly boys, he
thought he could do better than in Indiana.
Land there can be had at from So to Sc an
acre. Mr.. FRANKIE was DESTROYS of looking
over the ground in the winter months, in
order to ascertain how much feeding would
have to be done.
What about his contract with the city?"
Mr.. Little was asked.
HE thought there was nothing pressing
about that, as he had plenty of time to
make the trip and still complete it,
ut was not his idea to desert his famly?''
mot at all. He seemed dumfounded at
knowledge of the amicable relations that
had always existed in his family. | am
firmly convinced that he had no such in
tentiOns."
Mr.. FRANKIE remained in Texas to look fur
Their INTO opportunities for purchasing stock
land Mr.. Little said that FRANKIE desired
to go to Houston before coming home, and
argued that he might as well investigate
the situation thoroughly now instead of
coming home, and then having to go back
later. Mr.. Little said that he did not ques-
ton FRANKIE with regard to the Capito wom-
ans story.
FRANKIE" said he sis bound to succeed
wherever he goes, and l have never been
alarmed about him. I have acted in this
case simply for his family's sake, not be-
cause l thought had anything to lose. He
has done what he thought was right and
proper. He regarded the note he sent his
wife as sufficient, and L am convinced if
he had thought his absence would be mis-
understood he would have communicated
with me-"
Mr.. Little said that FRANKIE was man
who was naturally secretive about his bust
ness and inclined to do what his judgment
prompted him to do, without consulting 9TH
ers. The attorney seems inclined to look
on it as a case of much ado about moth
ing.

A DECISION BY DEFAULT
CITY PRACTICALLY MAKES NO DE-
TENSE OF SMOKE ORDINANCE.
Conflict in the Municipal Department
of Law-Judge Cox Hopes
for an Appeal.

AS had been anticipated, Police Judge Cox
yesterday morning held the ordinance re-
curing owners of all buildings other than
residences to prevent dense smoke from
emitting from chimney and smokestacks to
be invalid. Courts in Missouri and other
States have made similar rulings. /. N.
Bradwell, deputy city prosecutor, appeared
for the city yesterday and argued the va
lidity of the law, w. l.. Taylor, attorney for
the defendant, the Indianapolis Light and
Power Company, having presented his side
of the case some days ago.
The proceedings yesterday developed that
there is some lack of harmony, or, at least,
misunderstanding, between City Attorney
Kern and Deputy Bradwell. The latter said
he had expected to try the case on its merit
and that he would have been able to show
that smoke is a nuisance. He said that Mr.
Taylor's plan of filing a demurrer to the
city's complaint was not proper pleading
Mr. Taylor smilingly assured Mr.. Bradwell
that he had filed the demurrer at Mr.. Kern $
suggestion. Thereupon Mr. Bradwell said he
had not consulted with the city attorney on
the subject. Beside being able to prove
smoke to be a nuisance, he said he could
have shown that there are practicable
means of preventing it,
In his former argument Mr.. Taylor had
pointed out that there was a discrimination
between citizens in the operation of the or
dinance, inasmuch as the locomotives OF
railroads were allowed to play through the
streets without taking steps to abate smoke.
Thu point he illustrated more fully yester-
day, when he called attention to the fact
that under the ordinance the Big Four Rail-
way would be violating the law by permit
ting smoke from it's roundhouse at Bright
wood to go up in the air, while nothing could
be done to prevent smoke from its engines
in the yards around the roundhouse as the
locomotives were exempted. Mr.. Bradwell
admitted that there might be cases where
the city would have to prosecute itself, as,
for instance. if coal were used at Tomlin-
son Hall and smoke were to arise. I'm that
event." he said Il hesitate to say where
the department of law would be found.
Judge Cox said that he could not see his
way clear to do anything else than hold the
ordinance invalid, as there was clearly a
discrimination. Il trust that an appeal Will
be taken by the city to the higher courts,
he said. 81 do not doubt but that there is a
legal manner in which the smoke nuisance
may be lessened, if not wholly abaced
