The county grand jury, in a report to the
Criminal Court, yesterday announced the
following indictments: Philip Toner, grand
larceny; John Finley and John Armstrong
petit larceny; Thomas Mallen, Otto Randall
John Sharkey and Arthur Seger, burglary
and grand larceny; Noah Baney, Della
Baney and William Short, grand larceny;
Philip Toner. entering house in daytime to

ceny: Scottie Balfour, assault and battery;

and Fred Corners, burglary and grand lar
ceny; Paul Rogers, assault with intent to
kill; Fred Rentsch and John German, bur-
glary and petit larceny; James Reardon,
burglary and petit larceny; Bud Snyder,
burglary and grand larceny. The jury
recommended the discharge of the following
prisoners on account of insufficient evidence
on which to find indictments: John p Rus
obtaining money by false pretenseS; Fred
Horn and William Berchman, burglary;
Lizzie Stewart and Florence Melton, grand
larceny; Eddie Meadows Otto Zigler, Guth-
RE Powers and John Moore, petit larceny;

The grand jury recommended that addi-
uonal facilities be provided at the poor farm
for tire care of demented inmates. 1t is
sugges, that a building might be erected
separate from the main building for the ex-
elusive use of the insane Door. The Jurors
point out that in the event of fire in the
building where the demented inmates are
at present confined there would be a posi-
bility OF great loss of life, as many Of the
inmates would be unable to escape. Before
the jurors separated yesterday evening AL
bert SalRm the foreman, addressed a few
remarks to Judge McCray, in which he
thanked the court for courteous treatment
accorded the jury.

CARETTES FOR THIS CITY
INQUIRY BEING MADE OF THE Az
TOMOBILE MANUFACTURERS.
Doubtful if Electricity Can He Used
in the Large Vehicles at
Present!

L. s. Dow. secretary Of the Indiana
Bicycle Company, said when questioned yes
terday that well-known business man of
this city had inquired at what cost the COM
pany could furnish electric motor vehicles
or carettes, for the purpose of establishing
regular lines upon some Of the principa
streets of Indianapolis The officials replied
that at present the company is not attempt
ing to manufacture vehicles of sufficient size
for public service, and did not consider 1t
practicable just at present. The business
man said that he and other wealthy bust
ness men desired to be informed as soon as
the company was prepared to supply such
vehicles.
Mr.. Dow said yesterday that while there
would probably be no attempt to carry out
the scheme of the business man for year
or two, it is entirely practicable, and the
motor vehicle will some time take the place
of the present street-car system upon the
well-paved streets of this and other cities.
He said that If the streets were poor the
street car, running upon carefully-laid rails,
would have a decided advantage, but he
thought that upon the excellent streets of
Indianapolis a motor vehicle, properly pro-
PEELED, would be superior. Not only could
a. motor car have a high rate of speed, but
"
1t would make very little noise, and it
would save the great expense involved in the
laying of the tracks. The entire cost Of a
system in the city of Indianapolis Mr.. Dow
did not think would exceed 500, 900. In ths
execution Of the plan, however, Mr. Dow
did not believe that electricity can be used,
at least for many years, because 1t cannot
supply the required power, but he believed
that steam could be used satisfactorily to a
motor car of such size. In Europe there are
already steam wagons used for delivery
which will carry from five to seven tons,
and the use of the motor vehicle in carrying
passengers is being rapidly cXten1ed.
Mr.. Dow said that the vehicles which the
company is now manufacturing win prob
ably be placed upon the market in large
quantities by spring 1t is desired that the
details Of construction be perfected first. 1t
is thought that at that time they will be
completed at a rate of from five to ten a
day. They will then be manufactured only
in lots of one hundred. About forty vehicles
for the carrying of passengers and fifteen
delivery wagons are now being made. Most
Of these wild be sent persons in the East.
A very few will remain in Indianapolis. 1t
is thought by the manufacturers that by
next year the demand for the motor vehicles
will approach that in Europe, where the ex-
ceent roads make them servicable in al
most any part of the country.

Blacksmith Bursan,s Suit.

In the Superior Court ]. C. Burgar

tract which Burgan made with the trans

No Appropriation for Advertising.

The members Of the State Board of E1duca-
ton met yesterday morning to make ar
rangements to advertise for bids to furnish
the schools with arithmetics, readers and
copy books during the coming year. Moth
ing was done, however, principally for the
reason that Superintendent Geeting called
the attention of the members to the fact
that there was no appropriation on hand to
pay for the advertising Last year when the
contract was to be let the board had a
credit of 81 900 for the purpose, but the au-
ditor notified the board that the appropria-
ton was not a continuous one and that at
present there was no fund to the credit of
the board for this purpose.
In order to settle the question of the APP
preparation being continuous, the board
asked the opinion of the attorney general
on the subject The board, in advertising
for bids, claims 1t does not expect to secure
a much cheaper price on the books, but
hopes to better the quality, and it is believed
there would be some lively bidding among
publishers to secure the contract if the APP
preparation is made.
