PROSECUTORS TO BLAME
GOVERNOR THINKS GAS BELT
SHOULD TURN ATTENTION TO THEM.
Inspector Leach Has Filled Numerous
Cases of Information with
These officials.

While the governor and state officers are
disposed to do everything in their power to
prevent the waste of gas, the chances of
calling a special session of the Legislature
are rather remote. 1t is feared that if it
takes such a long time for the local au-
thorities in the gas belt to enforce the
statute already in existence, all the gas
would be wasted and gone long before a
new statute could be enacted and enforced.
II understand said Governor Mount
yesterday. when questioned upon the sub
ject by Journal reporter, that they ex-
pect to send a committee to see me. 1 shall
take the matter up when they present it,
and go over the ground with them to see
what is the best thing to do. Il am surprised
that the local feeling in favor of saving the
gas does not cause the prosecuting attor-
neys to push without delay the numerous
prosecutions that have been brought upon
information filed by Inspector Leach. After
he filed the information the matter lies in
the hands of the prosecuting attorney to
push the case to an early conclusion. Most
of these prosecutions have been lying since
we flrSt undertook 10 stop the waste OF gas
last spring. The injunction suit was argued
before Judge Mcclure at the spring term
ginning of the present term 1 am surprised
that 1t is not hurried to the Supreme Court.
II understand that decision right, it is
possible under it for them to take advan-
tage OF the statute imposing heavy pen
atty for every day that gas is wasted, and
the case should be brought before the Su-
preme Court as early as possible. 1t is
difficult for me right now to see how the
Legislature could enact any more stringent
measures for the preservation of gas than
are now upon the statute books

CENTER LODGE OBJECTS
SEEKS TO ENJOIN ERECTION OF THE
NEW 1. o. o. f. BUILDING.
Asks for II Partition in Order that 1t
May Gets It's Share of
Property.

Yesterday morning the expected injunc-
ton suit of Center Lodge. of the Independ-
ent Order of Odd Fellows, to prevent the
building of a new Grand Lodge Hall at
Washington and Pennsylvania streets, was
filed in the Circuit Court. The Grand Lodge,
the Grand Lodge Hall Association, the Ger
mania, Logan. Capital, Philoxenian Defour
Carroll and Mesheknoughquogh lodges, the
Grand Encampment, the Metropolitan En-
campment and the building committee con-
sisting of John F. Wallick George Shirts,
H. G. Thayer, u. Z. Wiley, Benjamin
Franklin, T. H. Stevenson ]. A. Wildman
and w. H. Leedy, are all named as defend
ants
The complaint asks for an injunction to
restrain the defendants from going ahead
with proposed plans. 1t also sets out the
fact that Center Lodge has an interest in
the present Grand Lodge property, and it
is demanded that the property be sold for
the partition of the proceeds. The plaintiff s
complaint gives the history of the building
of the present lodge building, which was
first proposed in 1853. The Grand Lodge
agreed to donate $4,000 towards the new
structure, and was to have rent free for
ever. Stock with a face value of $25 was
sold to subordinate lodges and to individ-
uals in order to raise the remainder of the
amount necessary to put up the building.
Ihere was also an issue of bonds In 1860
1t is ayerred, the original stock was called
IN and final certificates, representing orig
lnal payments and interest, were issued.
The total face value of these certificates
amounted to $36,475. The number of shares
held by lodges was then 1459, Center Lodge
holding III of these shares.
The complaint sets out that in 1874 a GER
tlncate for 400 shares. with face value of
SlO,OO0 was issued to the Grand Lodge with
out any authority or consideration. 1t was
said at the time that this. was on account
OF the original gift of the Grand Looge.
Inc complaint, however, AYERS there was
an express understanding that this $40, 900
donation was TO be purely a gift and not
subscription for stock. 1t is averred that
all the owners of Grand Lodge Hall stock
except Logan and Carroll lodges, held a
meeting May l, 1897, and over the protest
of Center Lodge agreed to form the Grand
Lodge Hall Association. May IA last it is
asserted, the corporation was formed not
understanding the protest of Center Lodge
that 1t would not be bound by such action
The complaint filed yesterday has not vet
been brought before the court Some of
those who favor the erection of a new build
ing assert that Center Lodge has attempted
10 dispose OF its stock in the old property
at an exorbitant figure.

Kurtx,s Telephone scheme.

A meeting of local capitalists was held IN,
the Stevenson building yesterday for thel
purpose of organizing the Home Telephone
Company, which proposes to use the ap-
paratus of the Kurtz National Telephone
Company. 1t is the expectation of this COM
pany to take up the franchise Of the Citi-
zens Cooperative Telephone Company,
which was granted in 1886. BY the terms
of this franchise the company would have
to turn its plant over to the city at the end
of twenty years. Representatives of seven
independent telephone companies OF the
State were here to join in the organiza-
ton for Il state exchange. These companies
are located at Lafayette, Laporte, Michi-
gan City, Kokomo, Fort Wayne and Chi
cago. 1t is the intention to form state
organization and agreement by which the
companies can use each others lfz&eS for
long-distance telephonng.
w. j. KurtZ, the general manager of the
Kurtz company, claims that its telephones
can be put in at about half the cost of the
Bell telephone and are much more satisfy
tory. He makes a long technical eXplana-
ton of this difference to demonstrate the
fact that in his patent there is no loss of
sound waves. Mr.. Kurtz claims that they
have over 1900 subscribers under contract
in Indianapolis, and will put in an exchange
capable of accommodating 10000 subscribers

CHANGES In SCHEDULES
A RAILWAY CUSTOM FOR WHICH
THERE Is LITTLE JUSTIFICATION.
r., FIT. w. & c. Inaugurates a New LO-
cal Freight service-New Immi-
grant Pool VIII Do Good Work.

Most of the Indianapolis lines will to-mor-
row make numerous changes in their time
schedules. What benefit is derived from the
changes the shrewdest transportation man
cannot tell. 1t is not to run slower in the
winter than in the summer. as but little
change is made in that direction unless it
be to meet the wishes of competitor who
has longer distance to run and threatens
to cut rates if such time is made This
however, is not cutting any figure in the
schedules which go into effect tomorrow.
{. f. Daily, general passenger agent of the
Lake Erie & Western, said the changes
were unnecessary unless new or faster
trains are put on. He had been on the
Lake Erie & Western or it's predecessor for
fifteen years and between Indianapolis and
Michigan City no changes had been made;
in fact, he thought two of their trains each
way had been running on the present
schedule thirty-five or forty years, and on
the main line there had been no changes
of Importance. A few years ago it was
said that no person need carry a time table
of the Lake Shore road, so many years had
their principal trains been run on the same
schedule; new trains have been put on with
faster schedules. but the trains that do the
work and earn the most money are seldom
changed on well managed roads. Frequent
changes, especially of local trains do much
harm, and as all are scheduled at about
twenty-five miles an hour, stops included,
there is no necessity for frequent changes.
Most local trains are scheduled to best ac-
commodate the business between such
points as Louisville and Indianapolis Terre
Haute and indianapolis and Cincinnati and
Indianapolis and most are run at hours that
fit in well with the demands Of the travelling
public.

Judge E. d. Crumpacker, representative
of the Tenth district, was in the city yes
terday looking after some private business
preparatory to returning to Washington
next Wednesday. When asked by a Journal
reporter concerning the prospects for cur
rency legislation at the coming session. he
replied: 1T is difficult to say what can
be accomplished The lack of a Republican
majority in the Senate makes it impossible
to say what can be done. am convinced
that we ought to have a gradual and con-
sentative plan of reform that will In time
do away with the treasury notes and other
demand obligations of the government. AL
most all level-headed men who have given
any attention to the subject agree thus
far, though they differ in details If the
monetary commission shall be able to pre-
sent a safe and feasible plan for doing
this, 1t may not be impossible TO accomplish
the reform at this session. l have a high
regard for the abilities and character of
the commissioners and believe their recon-
mendations will bear weight with Con-

Probably half the people who see this

commonest diseases and one of the most
obstinate People nave it for years and just
because it is not Immediately fatal they
neglect it. Carelessness causes no end OF
suffering. Carelessness about so simple a
thing as piles has often caused death.
Hemorrhages occur from no apparent cause
and loss of blood causes death. Hemor-
rhages occur during surgical treatment,
often causing death.
Piles are simple in the beginning and easi-
ly cured. They can be cured, even in the
worst stages. without pain or loss of blood.

The executive officers of the Chicago-St.
Paul lines will hold meeting in Chicago
next Tuesday for the purpose of considering
the rate situation. While there have been
no further cuts in the rates, the feeling has
not improved in any respect and the gen.
eral opinion is that an explosion is likely to
come at any time. If the stronger lines
would be willing to keep their hands off the
party business and allow the weaker roads
to have this, there would not be so much
danger of trouble. The smaller roads say
that with the small proportion of first
class business that comes their way they
think that it would be no more than right
if their strong competitors would let them
have the party business as method of
evening up on the traffic. This the strong
roads will not agree to do. The Wisconsin
Central has made it plain that unless some
measure is taken which will insure it a
fair share Of the business it will not permit
the withdrawal of the So rate and may even
find it necessary to make a further reduc-
ton for the purpose of securing it's share
of the traffic.
