her attention was attracted to the per

Gibson because of his clerical appear

IT BLEW OFF HIS HEAD
EXPLOSION IN LIEBER BREWERY
KILLS ALBERT HETZEL.
Oak Head of a Pumping Vat in the
Cellar Flew Out-Henry GOetz,
"a Companion, Escapes.

Albert Hetzel, an employee at the P. Lie
Der branch of the Indianapolis Brewing
Company, was killed yesterday by a Pc
culiar accident. He was a ''kellermann," or
cellar man, and his duties We're to run beer
from vat to vat as it progressed in fermen-
tation. The beer is kept in the cellar for
from four to eight months before it is put
into kegs and bottles, and during the time
it is there it is moved from vat to vat, and
when it reaches the last vat it is ready for
shipment. To raise the beer from the lower
cellars to the department where it is placed
in kegs and from one cellar to another
air pumps are used. The beer stands in
huge upright open watts, and when it is to
be elevated it is run off into a horizontal
cask, which is lower on the floor than the
watts. This is made of heavy oak and is
closed so that air forced into it will force
the beer up through the pipes. About ff-
teen pounds of air is all that is required to
do the work.
Yesterday afternoon at o'clock Hetzel
and Henry Goetz were at work in the cell
lar. The pumps were at work as usual and
the men were engaged in running the beer
from the big upright watts into the one
from which it was pumped. Suddenly there
was an explosion. The pumping vat had
standing almost directly in front of the
cask when the head blew out of it. A
heavy piece of the oak. timber struck Hetzel
in the neck and almost severed his head
from the body. Goetz escaped with few
slight bruises.
The explosion did not attract much atten-
ton and not until Goetz came up and gave
the alarm was it known that his fellow
workman had been killed. The body was
carried up into the air, and it was merely
a body, for Hetzel must have died instantly.
His neck was broken. The body was taken
to Herrmanns mOrgue, on South Delaware
street. 1t was viewed by the deputy cor
oner and verdict of accidental death was
rendered.
Hetzel had been employed at the brewery
for number of years and was looked upon
as a good workman and an industrious man.
He lived at III Charles street and leaves a
wife and one small child. He was twenty
nine years old.
Just how the accident occurred is not
clear. 1t is said that more than the required
amount Of air to force the beer up cannot
be forced into the cask. 1t requires such
little pressure that it is believed by the
workmen that enough to cause an explosion
could not be forced into the pipes. The
theory is that some gas, generated from the
beer which had been standing in the closed
cask longer than usual, when mixed with
the air, caused the explosion.

A WIDE TAX EXEMPTION
A LEGISLATIVE AMENDMENT THAT
MAY THREATEN A BAD CONDITION.
NOnresidents' Property Held i'm Trust
to BE Taxed Only for state
and County Purposes.

Controller Johnson has learned that. as a
result of an amendment to the tax laws
made by the last Legislature. the city Will
be cut off from considerable revenue. The
effect OF the amendment is to exempt the
property of nonresidents of the State whose
property is held in trust from paying any
taxes other than for State and county pur-
poses. The amount of taxable property in
the city held by nonresidents of the State
has not yet been ascertained. A separate
section. which was amended provides that
any person or corporation holding personal
property in trust shall pay the taxes in the
county in which is situated the court which
appointed the fiduciary. While the amend
ments were being passed it was said on the
floor of the Legislature that the purpose of
the latter amendment was simply to pre-
vent a trust estate from being taxed twice.
1t said that the trust companies We're
compelled to pay taxes on all estates being
settled by them both in the counties in
which they were located and the counties
in which the estates were administered.
MIR. Johnson learned yesterday of four es-
tates from which the city will receive no
revenue. They are being administered by
the Union Trust Company. The company is
trustee of Florence l.. De Paw, Blanche
:. French and Lydia n Hit and assignee
der the new law the company refuses to
pay taxes in this county. The latter sec
ton seems to have some justice in it, but
Mr.. Johnson says there is no reason why
nonresidents of the State should be exempt
from municipal taxes. and he doubts wheth-
er it was the intention of the Legislature to
pass an amendment to the tax law that
would make such exemption, but it is so
worded as to produce this result The
courts will doubtless be asked to pass on
the constitutionality of the amendment as
it means that the towns and cities of the
State Will be cut off from a large amount
OF revenue from people residing in other
States. Although living in other States, the
property of nonresidents receives the same
protection and benefits that of resident
freeholders, and the Supreme Court has
held that it is subject to like charges.

BRUNO SCHMITZ in TOWN
THE MONUMENT ARCHITECT BRINGS
PHOTOS OF THE SIDE GROUPS.
Expects To Let Contracts for the stone
Before He Returns to Eu-
rope in June.

Bruno Schmitz the German architect who
designed the Indiana soldiers and sailors
monument and who has the completion of
the shaft under his supervision, arrived in
Indianapolis yesterday from New York and
is stopping with the family of Captain j.
A. Lemcke at Vermont and Meridian
streets Mr.. Schmitz landed in New York
from Hamburg last Friday and hurried on
at once to Indianapolis.
The architect brought with him from Ber-
lin photographs OF the War" and Peace"
models as he has them designed in his Ber-
lin studio, and before he returns the board
of regents will have definitely settled on the
style of groups they desire placed in posi-
ton Yesterday afternoon the architect had
a brief conference with two members OF
the board Major MenZies and General Fred
Knefler. General Jasper Packard, the third
member, was not present, but will attend
the conference to be held to-day. Since
his last visit to Indianapolis Mr.. Schmitz
has modified his original designs for the
groups in accordance with the ideas of the
board of regents. After the models have
been accepted by the board work will be
commenced on the groups at once. All the
work will be done here by American stone
masons Mr. Schmitz will have a repre-
sentative here who Will see that his ideas
are carried out. The architect expects to
let the contracts for the stone before he
leaves the city. The groups War" and
Peace" are to be constructed of Bedford
stone of the same quality that was put in
the shaft. The huge blocks will be placed
in position on the monument as they come
from the quarrieS. Then the figures will be
chiseled out. Mr. Schmitz says the contract
calls for the completion OF the groups by
Aug. l. 1898. but he thinks he will be able
TO finish the work before that date.
Yesterday the architect visited the monu-
ment and watched the workmen engaged on
the excavations for the new fountains. He
SAYS this work is progressing as rapidly as
possible and will be completed some time
during the month of August These inn
provements are TO be in accordance with
the drafts furnished by the German archi
tect.
Mr.. Schmitz Will sail for his own country
June and must of necessity make but a
brief stay here. He has a great deal of
work IN progress and is eager 10 get back
TO his studio. About the middle of June he
will attend the unwilling of one of his
monuments at CoblentZ-on-the He
has lately undertaken a great task-the de-
signing OF a monument 10 be erected at
Leipslc Mr. Schmitz says this is the larg
est work he has ever attempted. Last sum-
mer during exhibit at Berlin given by
the business and industrial interests, Mr.
Schmit9's designs took the lead and We're
the most popular of all the Berlin archi-
tects.
