George Washington.

A meeting OF the general committee on Uni
versity day was held last night at the Indian

committees indicated that all IL colleges of the
University of Indianapolis are ii harmony and
a grand success. Notwithstanding the dispute

ought to be included in the Washington birthday
celebration.
Most of the evening was spent in voting in
structions to the various committees. 1t was
unanimously decided that only the university
color, royal purple, should be worn by the stu
dents on that day. The various colleges or de-
partments of the university will be designated
merely by the banner which will head the dele
gaticn OF students from each department. The
only yells to be given on that day will be uni
versity yells. DR. Hunt, of the dental college,
has been appointed by the directors of the uni
versity to have an elaborate university flag made
for the occasion This flag Will head the entire
parade and will be carried by a stan consisting
OF one student from each OF the four colleges.
The indianapolis Military Band will be secured to
lead the parade and will be the Only band in
line. 1t was unanimously decided h. the general
committee that none of the colleges should pro-
cure bands to head their own delegations. No
one college is to make itself conspicuous in any
way.for its own selfish good, but all four are 10

A MILE in PIT.


The extra bicycle races at Tomlinson Hall last
night were the most exciting of any. The crowd
was better than the weather would have warrant
events. ellie Anderson and Dottie F~arnsworth
had a n Itch race Of ten miles, in which the
terrible Swede'' had easy sailing throughout,
and Christopher and Baldwin rode ten miles to
decide who should have fourth money in the
race Of last week. In both events Allen paced.
assisted by the other two riders. who were not
riding at the time.
In the Anderson-F arnsworth race the time by
miles was as follows: 2:S1. 2:27, 2:22, 2:25. 2:22.
2:25. 2:3o. 2:2S, 2:44. 2:1T-24:31. The last mile
was ridden at The fastest pace that has been
for nothing and think of nothing but TO win the
race. They had been paced until the eighth mile
was finished, when the pacemakers dropped out.
The ninth mile was omewhat slower than the
others on this account, but as soon as the cards
dropped to show that the ninth mile had been

Farnsworth finally closed the gap and was hug

announced that four more laps would finish the

worth more than a length and kept this lead
almost all the time for the last four laps. DC
casionally FarnswoIth would close a little of it,
but not Tor very long. The ten miles were ridden
at an average of 2:2I.

BOTH SIDES CAUCUS.
Action on the Appellate Court Bill in
the HOuse Marked Out.

Immediately after adjournment last even
ing both sides of the House held caucuses
on the Appellate Court bill. In the Repub-
Iican caucus there were forty-six members
with all the rest accounted for but Mr..
Hall, and, though nobody had heard him
express himself on the bill. there was no
reason 10 suppose that he would decline
to support it. Mr.. Reynolds excused him.
self from the caucus to attend a conference
with the anti-cigarette women, who spend
most of their time in the Hobbies of the
House, but he was vouched for by others
present as a supporter of the bill. A num-
Der of speeches were made and the roll
was called, showing all those present
ready TO support the bill, and the absent
ones were vouched for.
The caucus then took up the question
of the Gibson county contest, and the mer-
its of the case were explained by Chair
man Canala, of the elections committee.
The caucus agreed unanimously to sustain
the report of the committee, seating Mr..
Cockrum, when 1t Is presented to the
House.
The Popocratic members held their eau
Gus in the Supreme Court room and squan-
dered much time in trying to figure out a.
method OF amending the bill. There are
seven or eight Democratic members who
propose to vote for il, and If the leaders
of the minority could amend it so as 10
make ii two instead Of four years that the
life of the court is extended they would
offer no opposition to the bill. Their theory
is that two years hence they may be able
TO elect the Appellate Court and the Legis-
ture, and then they would extend the term
four years. They could not discover. how
ever, any method by which they could force
an amendment at this stage. 1T requires
a two-thirds vote to carry a motion to re-
commit with instructions to amend when
the bill is on third reading. Failing In this
they agreed to try and force a postpone
mont nf the measure to-day l1nfi after tho
election contest and the apportiOnment
bill shall nave been disposed of.

WORK OF THE SOLONS
PREPARATIONS FOR A FIGHT ON
THE APPELLATE COURT BILL.
House Passes n Number OF Measures
Grant Superior Court-Weight
of Onions.

The Legislature yesterday started the in
vestigation of the States claim against the
Vandalia upon lines suggested by the at
torney general, both houses passing a bill
and resolution drawn by that officer. The
bill requires of the company a thorough
accounting for the period during which it
operated under a special charter and the
resolution provides for a joint
of inquiry.
The Appellate Court bill came up on third
reading in the House. and it developed that
the Democrats had agreed TO make a de-
termined effort to limit the life of the court
to two years. They failed TO amend at the
proper time and could not change the bill:
therefore, they decided yesterday, in eau
Gus, TO try TO postpone action on the bill
when it comes up as a special order to-
day. The Republican members also held a
caucus and found they had enough TO pass
the bill.
The House passed the Grant Superior
Court bill and advanced the bills for divid-
ing the Laporte-St. Joseph and Howard
Upton circuits to third reading. The Bo-
bilya bill, which passed the Senate last
week. prohibiting the killing of quail and
grouse in any fashion for two years, died
in the House without a struggle upon adj
verse report of the rights and privileges
committee. Among the bills advanced upon
favorable committee report were the thea
ter-hat bill and the bill declaring football
unlawful. Senate bills passed the House,
changing the time for holding court in
Harrison, Crawford and Montgomery coun-
ties. Two House bills were passed by that
body, one by Mr.. Morris, permitting city
councils to license and regulate street
fakirs, advertising bills of all sorts, poles
of various kinds and branch stores opened
for temporary business.
Aside from the Vandalia matter the Sen
ate was occupied all day with the advance
ment of bills on second reading. Among
the measures discussed were the Shively
a~nti-cigarette bill, the Duncan bill relating
to discharged c~onvicts and the bill concern
ing the grading and testing of wheat. The
only bill passed was one for the incorpora-
ton of missionary societies.

Walter Wilmot has dropped out of the
bicycle race enterprise, and will cave this
noon for Chicago. where he will remain
until the opening of the baseball season. He
said last night that he had only one man
signed for next season. and would have to
hustle to get as good n team together as
he had last year. Perry Werden goes to
Louisville. This he cannot prevent, and he
says he is mighty sorry for ii. He regards
Werden as the best Businessman in the
country, and said last night that big
Perry could outhit. outfield and outrun
any man playing that position in the Ma
tional League. Besides this. as Wilmot
says. Werden is a hard fighter, a great
jollier and popular with the crowds every
where in spite of the way he fights for ev-
cry point. The Minneapolis manager re-
grets the loss OF the big first baseman more
than is generally known, and feels that it
will be a difficult task to replace him. Will
mot is a hustler. however, and when the
season opens he can be counted on TO have
a strong team ready for the hot race that
will be run. He and Manager Watkins will
have a talk this morning over a little deal
that has been on for some time.
