NEW COLUMBIA CLUB HOUSE.
Building Committee Will Visit Vari-
GUS Cities of the Country.

The building committee that has the SUI
pervision of the new clubhouse of the Co
lumbia Club is at present considering the
subject of selecting an architect Prom
inent architects of Indianapolis and few
from other cities will be requested to COM
pete. after certain plans now in mind have
been carried out. Between now and Jan.
the building committee will visit the prin-
cipal cities of the West-Chfcago, St Louis,
Cleveland, Dayton Pittsburg, Cincinnati
and others-to get ideas on club construc-
ton. 1t is the purpose to learn by per-
sonal inspection all that can be ascertained
about club life, including the construction
of clubhouses, in ordersthat errors made by
other clubs may be avoided and that the
Columbia Club may have the advantage of
features that have proved especially at
tractive and desirable in other cities. A
subcommittee of the building committee
will also go to the large Eastern cities for
the same. purpose
After all the knowledge possible has been
attained on this subject the committee will
prepare specifications for the guidance of
the architects that are to be asked to cCm-
pete. 1t is announced that the committee
will at all times be glad to receive sugges-
tons, not only from members of the club,
but from citizens of Indianapo polls and the
State a large, with reference to features
that might add to the usefulness, comfort
and beauty of the club home. The building
committee intends TO adopt conservative
course, and will not take any steps that
have not received careful and mature con-
side ration.

DID NOT SUSTAIN SHOWALTER
Judge WOOds's Decision Not Neces-
sarily to Be Taken that Way.

City Attorney Kern said, after reading
Judge Woodss decision on the 3-cent-fare
appeal in the Journal yesterday morning
that it did not seem in any way to sustain
Judge Showalter's decision that there is
federal question involved, although it does
not exactly reverse it. In effect Judge
Woods holds that there may be federal
question. 1t lays with the Supreme Court
of the United States to decide this point
Judge Showalter held that while the right
TO amend the street-car law was reserved
in the original act to the Legislature, such
amendment must be in conformity of Sec
ton 2 of the State Constitution, which re-
Quires that all laws passed shall be general
and not special in their operation. Judge
ShoWalter further held that the 3-cent-fare
law was rot of a general character and was
therefore in violation of the State Constitu-
tion AS an attempt had been made to
zens Street-railroad Company in an uncon-
stitutional way, he drew the conclusion that
the S-cent-fare law would impair the con-
tract Proceeding by this stage he arrived
at the conclusion that it was therefore in
contraVention of the national Constitution,
which declares that no State shall pass laws
impairing contracts. On this proposition
Judge Woods said: The proposition is be-
lieved to be novel, and for the present pur-
pose that may be its chief merit, since, so
long as the contrary has not been estab-
lished, it may be asserted with the better
snow or reason.
Instead of saying whether or not Judge
ShoWalter's doctrine was correct, Judge
Woods said: Whether 1t is sound or tenabe
is not now the question, but it is not inn
proper to observe that if sound 1t has
wider scope than has been suggested That
is, that the Legislature, If Il could not
amend the law except to conform to the
present Constitution of the State, could not
amend the Constitution SO as to provide for
the passage of special laws that would eff
feet the supposed rights of the company
Mr.. Kern said that the Sioux City case, TO
which Judge Woods referred as being most
similar to the present case, had been adj
vanced by the city. Mr.. Kern said that
there seemed to be some ambiguity in the
conclusions drawn different questions
which the courts jurisdiction was denied.
While not holding that there is a federal
question involved. the decision leaves the
impression that there is sufficient doubt TO
make the subject one on which the Supreme
Court should pass. In the last paragraph
of the decision Judge Woods seemed to in
innate that there was more in the conten-
ton that the company has vested right
to charge a scent fare than in the conten-
ton that the 3-cent-fare law is impairment
of the contract between the city and the
street car company in contravention of the
national Constitution. AT least more stress
was laid on the vested-right contention in

Friends of c. C. FRANKIE, the street con-
tractor, who disappeared two weeks ago,
have about decided not to visit either Chi
cago or Hammond to investigate the al
legged finding of a body of dead man that
had $500 on it, Word has been received
that relatives of George II. Brown, of
Rensselaer,, investigated the report and
concluded there was nothing in it, the
officials of Hammond and Chicago had
heard nothing of such a report a story
was published in an afternoon paper here
containing an account of the alleged finding
of the body. The coroners of Cook county,
Illinois, and Lake county, Indiana, as pub
lished in the Journal yesterday, have in
formed the attorneys for Frankes family
that they have no knowledge of such a case
as that reported in the press dispatches.
Franke's friends still hope that he will be
found alive and well.

Poultry show opens Tuesday.

The eighteenth annual poultry and pet
stock show given by the Indiana State
Poultry Association will open in Tomlinson
Hall Tuesday and continue the rest of the
week Entries have been coming in for the
past two weeks and the list is much larger
than ever before. Sid Conger president of
the state association, will probably have
the greatest number of birds entered. He
sent word to Secretary Pottage yesterday
that he would be here Monday with one
hundred. The Cleveland poultry show is on
this week and a number of fanciers who are
showing there this week have asked per-
mission to enter their birds as late as Tues
day night On account of the big list of
entries in many of the varieties it has been
decided to give four premiums instead of
three, as has heretofore been done.
Aside from the big showing in the poultry
classes the pet stock will attract much at
tention. Several new specimens of Angora
cats have been received in Indianapolis dur
ing the past year and will be on exhibition.
There will also be a number of guinea pigs,
rabbits and ferretS.

STREET-CAR FUNERALS
MIR. MONTGOMERY SUGGESTS A REM
EDDY FOR STREET BLOCKADEs.
One Procession damned n Prominent
Corner for Twelve Minutes Yesterday
-Morris-Street Improvements.

Funeral professions crossing Washington
street frequently delay traffic. A long pro-
cession stopped street cars, wagons and
drays, causing a blockade that extended
two or three blocks in each direction for
fully twelve minutes yesterday. Aside from
the Inconvenience L. causes vehicle traffic
much danger occurs to pedestrians. Those
who do not like to cross the track of the
death march are often vexed when COM
PEELED to wait several minutes for process
sion to pass. 1t has been suggested that it
would be well to require funerals to keep
to certain streets. Those coming from
South-side churches almost invariably
choose Virginia avenue and Pennsylvania
street. which necessitates crossing the most
busy street intersection in the city. 1t was
suggested to T.. J. Montgomery, Of the
Board of Works, yesterday afternoon, that
some method Of remedying the trouble ought
to be adopted.
II think the solution of this trouble lies
in using street cars for funerals" said he.
There is scarcely a church or a section of
the city that could not be conveniently
reached from street-car funerals. In Chi
cago and other large cities the railroads
are patronized, and I believe in some cities
funeral cars pass over the street-car tracks.
All of the cemeteries can be reached by the
street cars. In winter time it would be
much more comfortable for people to attend
funerals in cars instead of open carriages.
where they are exposed to disagreeable
weather. And then the delay of traffic
would cease"
Some time ago the Journal had an inter-
view with citizen who mad just returned
from the City of Mexico, where he reported,
funerals are conducted on street cars. Mr..
Montgomery believes that indianapolis is
coming to the point where such a plan
should prevail.

Monday evening there will be meeting
of citizens of. the southwest part of town
at No. IL engine house, corner of Morris
and West streets, to consider means of hav-
ing improvements made to Morris street
A good many think that steps should be
taken to raise the grade of Morris street
from Dakota street to the river bridge, be-
sides which they declare that some sort of
passable sidewalks ought to be made. Nor
ris street is one that has a great deal Of
traffic, as 1t communicates directly with
West Indianapolis.
Another subject that will be discussed
will be footwalks at the Morrs-street
bridge across the river. Now foot passe myers
have to use the main roadway, at consid-
cradle danger and inconvenience. Woman
have complained about having to cross the
bridge with children, as many cattle are
driven across 1t. Projecting from the bridge
on either side are timbers upon which it
is claimed a foot passage could be laid at
small expense. These subjects will be dis
cussed and some steps taken TO lay them
before the Board of Public Works.

work is being put in place and the small
amount of brick work about the steel con-
struction is going up. 1t will be done in
two weeks. The stone masons and sculptors
have finished their work. The last scaffold
was removed yesterday. after the compile
