INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May l9.-The
constitutionallty of the three-cent
street-car fare law, so far as the case
of the state is concerned, is the special
order in the supreme court to day. An
appeal to the United States supreme
court has been taken against the decis-

should the state supreme court uphold
the law, fixing the fare at the reduced
rate, the decision will have weight with
the supreme tribunal of the land.

TOOK ROUGH ON RATS.
Laura Carlson Tries without Sue
cess to Kill Herself.

Angry at parental rebuke for re-
naming away from home Saturday
night, Laura Carlson, the fourteen
year-old daughter of c. A. Carlson, u
carpenter living at No. 228 East Water
street, attempted to end her life, yes
terday morning, by taking a large
dose of Rough On Rats
The girl took the poison shortly after
o'clock after being upbraided for her
failure to return home Saturday night.
Mr.. Carlson had taken his daughter to
task for her action Sunday and re-
newed his admonitions before going TO
work yesterday morning. Scarcely had
he left the house when the girl swal-
lowed the poison The girl suffered
intense pain but refused proffered as
sistance and declared she did not care
to live Mrs. Duford, a neighbor, was
called in as soon as the girls action
was known, and realizing the serious
ness of the situation forced the girl 10
swallow an emetic, which caused her
to be relieved of a portion of the
poison, and when later DR.. Leavitt ar
rived, her condition was not SO dan
gerous though she still insisted that
the treatment of her parents had rem
dered life a blank and that she pre-
ferred to die. Last night, however, the
child expressed regret for her action
and desire to get well.
Inc origin or the girls act is Sald To
be her reception of the attentions OF
Frank Duford, the eighteen-year-old
sen of the woman who probably saved
her life The girl appears older than
she really is and Of late is said to
have been going to places Of enter
tainment with young Duford, contrary
to the wishes of her parents. When
she did not come home Saturday night
Mr. Carlson thought she had spent the
evening at public dance, and chided
her for her conduct. When young Du-
ford learned of the girls attempt upon
her life shortly after she took the
poison, he forced his way to her bed
side and remained with her throughout
the day. The young fellow sat beside
the girl when a reporter for the
Globe called at the house late in
the afternoon, but refused to say any
thing about the affair. The girl. how
ever. said her relations with Duford
had nothing to do with the quarrel be-
tween her and her father.

TRYING TO SETTLE
DAVIS, OF DETROIT, WANTS TO
COMPROMISE WITH THE GAME
COMMISSION.
LAWYERS IN CONFERENCE,
HOWEVER, FAIL TO GET CLIENTS
WITHIN $500 ON THEIR
FIGURES.
INVASION OF FEDERAL RIGHTS
Is Charged by Davis, Who Contends
the Game Was Shot on the
Reservation.

An important conference was held
yesterday afternoon at the office Of
Executive Agent Fullerton, Of the state
game and fish commission, at the cap
itoI. the conferrees, beside MIR. Fuller
ten, being t. E. Byrnes, counsel for
the commission; E. w. Davis, Of De-
trOit who is charged with violating
the game laws, and his counsel Mr.
CoUntryman.
The defense made a proposition to
return the game to the state and call
that a settlement. The commission de-
mands 81, 500. There is a considerable
difference in the figures, and thera
Is some question of the agreement be-
ine arrived at without considerable
haggIing
Mr.. COuntryman endeavored to con-
viEce the representatives Of the COM
mission that their case was not a sure
one, and that it would be better for
them to accept the terms proposed
than to push it, as it would certainly
be fought by the defense every inch
Of the way.
During the discussion, the point was
raised that the state had no jurisdic-
ton over the game which was seized,
in spite Of it's laws, the game having
been slain on the Indian reservations,
which are federal possessions. 1t was
cOntended that the state laws, how
ever stringent they might be for the
protection Of the game at large in the
state, could not be made effective on
such tracts, and that, therefore, the
case OF the prosecution must fail.
The commission, however, contends
that all wild game in the state belongs
to the state, Deer bear and other
wild animals take no notice of the po-
litical divisions. ard, as it would be
possible for them to run over into the
reservation and out again as often
as they pleased, they could not belong
to the state one minute and not the

GETTING ROUND SHOULDERED.
Market House Committeeman Are
Weiphed Down With Trouble.

"What's all de round shouldered
blckes dom in de market house?' Is
der a mass meetin' Of de hump-back
society bein' held today?'
Don't get too fresh, sonny" said
the big policeman, who stands at Sew
enth and WabaSha streets, them
the committee on public buildin's from
the council. and, If you had to carry
the market house on your shoulders
like they do, you'd be a little stopped,
too o."
This was the conversation overheard
yesterday afternoon as Messrs. Craig,
THOMPSON, KaldunSki, Shepard and AL
brecht marched in enc door and out
the other at the market house. The
committee was on a tour OF lnSpec-
ton. and, endeavoring to come to some
decision as to what would be the best
way to settle the market house prop
lem. Previous to making an 1nspec-
ton of the building, the committee had
been closeted with Charley Steele dis
cussing what had better be done with
the premises. The committee, since
taking charge Of the market house,
have had a varied experience. The
theatrical troupes have given them
the laugh for rent Of the upper hall
for something like 5000, and about all
the committee have to show for their
management Is an increased eXpendi-
ture for services of a fireman.
Aid. Shepard had an idea that the
best thing to do would be to tear down
the shed on Seventh street and have
the windows washed. Marketmaster
Webster thought this was personal
reflection, but was assured that he
had nothing to do with the washing
Of the windows, as that devolved on
the janitor. Mr.. Albrecht was in favor
of renting the Wabasha street half of
the building &c a bicycle firm for SIS
per month. Mr.. Thompson did not
think this was right, as the city ought
not to go into the business Of renting
stores when there were any number of
vacant buildings on which property
owners were paying taxes. Aid. Shop
ard agreed with Mr.. Thompson, but
said something should be done to make
the property pay expenses. AS it was
now, the rents from the tenants were
less than the running expenses. He
favored the cleaning UP of the building
and particularly the halls in the upper
part, and then the adoption Of sched-
ule of rentals which should not be de-
waited from. Things began to look
soually, and Mr.. Craig suddenly re
membered that he had another en-
gagement. The other members of the
committee split out to look over the
premises, and the result of their expe-
dition will be made public at the as
sembly meeting Thursday night.
