HELD UP A BREWERY DRIVER.
Part of the Suspected Crowd Arrest
ed Under the Belt Bridge.

Yesterday afternoon Patrolmen Smith
and Dugan heard that a crowd of men was
drinking a keg of beer under the Belt
bridge. south of the city. They were in
formed that these might be the men who
assaulted brewery driver the night be-
fore and took a keg of beer from the
wagon. Patrolman Smith secured a posi-
tion on the bridge where he could cover the
men with his pistol while Dugan charged
upon them. The men started TO show fight
but when they found that Smith had the
drop on them two of them surrendered.
Two others ran and escaped.
The two arrested are Timothy Hessan
and William Brickley. T. j. Manley was
arrested earlier in the day on suspicion of
being one of the men, but the police are
convinced that he was not with the gang
of ruffians Saturday night. Frank Koke-
miller was arrested Saturday night as the
leader of the crowd.

LITTLE SISTER OF THE POOR.
Passing of Theodore Mary. Who Was
Only Twenty-Three Years Old.

Sister Theodore Mary lies dead at the
house OF the Little Sisters OF the Poor. All
day long yesterday a stream of visitors
kept the little entrance gate swinging to
and fro as the loving ones who have been
helped by the sweet young sister came to
pay their homage at her bier.
Sister Theodore Mary was the youngest
member OF the community in which her
last work was done. being aged only twen-
ty-three years. She took her vows i'm Bos-
ton three years ago and shortly afterward
removed to Brooklyn. There her health be-
gan To fail. the consumption germs having
entered her system, and year ago she
came to indianapolis in accordance with
the advice of her physician. Here I'm the
community at the corner of Vermont and
East streets she has labored with unfailing
zeal for the needy. never ceasing when her
health grew weak. never faltering when
the light grew dim, always sweetly resigned
TO her fate and Cheering those about her
till the last. She was finally compelled to
take TO her bed, and New Years night lust
left the tortured. weakened body and Sis
ter Theodore was at rest.
No better tribute TO a life OF self-sacrifice
could well be paid than the scene at the

MINORITY JUST SCARED
SCHOOL BOARD FINANCE REPORT
CONTAINS No STRUCTURES.
Ii shows, However, that a Big Grow
ing Debt Stares the schools
in the Face.

A little more light the subject brings
out the fact that the minority of the School
Board was more scared than hurt at the
prospect of hearing the report of the
finance committee read Saturday night
without having first had a chance TO know
what ii contains. This report is that
the committee has prepared merely because
il was suggested in a conversation between
several members of the board that 1t would
be advisable for the finance committee to
prepare in a tangible shape a full state
ment of the condition of the boards
finances to make a showing before
the Legislature when power is asked TO in
crease the tax levy and make provision for
paying off the boards debt. In accordance
with this suggestion the report has been
prepared. 1t will fill little more than one
column in newspaper When the report
was submitted last Saturday night and
there was Immediately such strong effort
TO head off the reading of 1t, those who did
not know just what it contained Immediate
ly conjectured that 1t contained some
structures on the present minority for the
acknowledgement of affairs in the past. In
fact, that was about the only thing that
could have been surmised. The report had
been in the hands of Miss Ridenour a min
ute when Mr.. Adam began his efforts to
head il off. He was persistent that the
spectators and others who did not know the
contents of the report Immediately con-
cIuded that he knew what Ii contained and
was afraid TO have it made public.
Ii is now known that the report contains
nothing in the way of censure on the
minority and also that Mr.. Adam is entirely
ignorant of what it does contain
The report deals in an unbiased manner
with the finances of the board. 1t Nnds
that certain things are facts and so states
them without entering the causes that
brought about the conditions which may
be deplorable. On this account ii is be-
lieved that the report cannot be considered
Objectionable by any faction of the board.
Just what recommendations the report
makes cannot be learned and probably will
not be known until next Wednesday night
when ii is read.
The report takes the finances of the board
for the last ten years and makes the Ner-
age for the time a basis for the yearly cal
culation for the next five years, adding to
the basis each year the amount of esti-
mated increase tor the year. The receipts
are treated similarly, showing what
amount of money the board can expect to
have curing the next five years. The whole
makes rather startling showing. 1t dem
will not be sufficient to keep up the schools
and that the board will either have TO go
deeper in debt by means of temporary loans
or will hay 10 curtail the efficiency of the
schools. Either means is looked upon as
most undesirable.
The report also shows the Indebtedness
of the board. The exact figures cannot be
given, but approximately they are as fol-
lows:

1t is shown that this debt is getting larger
every year instead of smaller, and that with
the present tax receipts ii is impossible for
il TO be otherwise. The temporary loan of
81 10 600 is such only in name 1t is a perma-
nent obligation that has been hanging over
the board for years and is not what the
name indicates. 1t is much of fixed
obligation as any of the bonds, for the
board has no means of liquidating it ex-
cept by negotiating another temporary
loan for the purpose. Affairs have reached
the point where il has been found absolute
ly imperative that even this temporary
Ioan shall be increased instead of de-
creased. At the meeting Saturday night
authority was given the finance committee
to advertise for temporary loan not to
exceed $200O 1t is not expected that this
amount will be borrowed, but the amount
will be considerably more than $4,000. All
these facts are set forth in the finance COM
mittees report. and there are some sugges
tions as to what the Legislature shall be
asked to do for the relief of the board.
What the suggestions are the members of
the committee will not say, and others
do not seem to know.

PETTY INSOLENCE.

He is contemplate and dispica-
BILE, beyond all comparison. To
the honor of human nature, let it
be said that no man in Oregon,

ever had such alacrity in sinking
to depths below depths in the es:

him. No word or pledge of his,
of any kind, on any subject,
