same length of time amounted to a few

possible the imposition of increased duties
abroad. The petition is in preparation by a
committee composed of c. S. Dikeman, F..

This petition will be to the effect that the
danger of having their foreign business in

motives of retaliation, juStifieS a material
reduction in the United States tariff on BIZ
cycles. The present rate is As per cent ad
valorem and it is the desire that this be
reduced to about 10c pound, which is less
than the duty imposed on imported ma
chimes by the nations having the lower
rates on tariff. The cycle manufacturers fur

cycles is not now a source of revenue to
the government, but would be likely to
prove so at lower rate.
The countries whose tariff foreign BIZ

more liberal policy on the part of the Amer

conformity with the rate proposed by
American manufacturers. The manufactur-

TARIFF ON WHEELS.
Manufacturers Themselves VIII Ask
for a Reduction.

Just now when Congress has passed the
war revenue bill. which imposes a tax on
almost everything not necessity. is a bad
time for any class of people to seek re-
duction of the tariff on anything. But the
leading cycle manufacturers of the United
States think it is the correct time to ask
a reduction in the tariff on foreign made
wheels and to that end a petition to Con-
gress Is now being drawn up and will doubt
less receive the signature of every manu-
facturer who has a foreign trade or hopes
to create one. This movement has been
prompted by an agitation now being made
in several European countries. where manu-
facturers are bringing power 10 bear on
their governments to increase the duty on
American bicycles, owing TO the fact that
their Introduction is materially injuring the
trade of the native manufacturers. The
chief argument of the foreign makers is
that the United States, having placed pro-
hibitive tariff on their machines 1t is only
fair to themselves that their own govern
ments impose an equally prohibtiye tariff
on American wheels coming into their coun-
tries

ers sell more wheels in Europe In a single
season now than their total outputs. for the

COL. LILLY's WILL.
NO Mention Made of the Interest in
His Great Business.

The will of the late Eli Lilly was probated
yesterday, and brings to light a strange
situation, inasmuch as the instrument fails
TO mention or bequeath specifically the in
terest OF the deceased in The. business of
Ell Lilly & CO.., which is by far the largest
Item OF his estate in point of value The
reason for this is found in the fact that a
contract between the members of the firm,
made many years ago, provides for this
emergency, so that Mrs Lilly receives the
entire benefits of the business during life
without such arrangement coming from the
probate court under the provisions of a will
CONSERVATIVE estimates place the value of
TINS business as an asset of the estate at
or the estate, aside from the business, ag-
gregate approximately $50 600, though these
figures are not borne out by the will, SO far
as a direct statement goes.,s
All or the personal property, together with
the home at 1926 North Meridian street is
left to Mrs. Lilly, with $4,000 in cash In
addition, Mrs. Lilly is given an annuity
presumably from the business of Eli Liliv

gross income in 1897 from the profits of the

heretofore unknown to New York team.

IT MAY NOT INDICT HER
GRAND JURY HAS TROUBLE IN THE
KLINE CASE.
Will of Col. Ell LiIIy-OiI Concerns
COmplicatiOns-Matt in
the Courts.

The grand jury is still considering the
case of the acid throwing in which Dr.
Aimee Haskinson received such serious in
juries, and the chances yesterday were that
there would be no Indictment found against
Mrs. Lulu Kleine along the lines hoped for
by the prosecution. 1t was expected that
an indictment charging assault with intent
to Kill would be the result cof the inquiry
by the grand jury, but at late hour the
jurors were evenly divided, three being in ia
vor of returning the indictment along these
lines and like number being loath to do
it. The line of reasoning advanced by Pros
ecutor Wiltsie, in conversation with re-
porter yesterday on this subject. is having
weight with the grand jury, and is certain
ly open to argument. Mr., Wiltsie reasons
in this manner: IF they are to indict Mrs
kleine, on what charge will the indictment
be brought? Can it be proved that she did
commit an assault with intent to kill, and
If so, how are we to establish the fact of
the intention? Then, again, is vial of acid
really deadly weapon?''
The difficulty lies, according to Mr.. Wilt
sic, not as to whether the accused merits
indictment, but rather that the law on this
point is lame so far as arraigning her on
such charge is concerned While there is
little doubt that there will be some kind of
an Indictment returned against her, it is I'M
likely now that it will be that of assault
with intent to kill.
1t is stated on good authority that there
Will be no indictments returned in the Moore
murder case by this grand jury. Prosecutor
Wiltsie yesterday admitted candidly that
there was no new evidence in the case since

standing the report sent out to the effect
that the police had secured such evidence.

AFFAIRS OF AN OIL COMPANY.

terday filed petition in the Federal Court
against the assignment of Bettman, Watson
& Bernheimer, of New York, which com
pany was one of the heaviest owners of
producing oil wells in Indiana prior to it's
failure May 81. The three petitioners hold
claims amounting to SIS, $50. and they set
out that the assignment was made for the
ben benefit Of certain other of the, creditors.
The petition asked that the assignment be
declared void. Judge Baker granted the
petition. He held that all creditors should
have the right to share in the proceeds
tied up.
A short time ago the court, on petition Of
Mr.. Watson, one of, the members of the
company. issued and injunction against
other members removing or selling that
part of the property in Indiana. He al
legged that he had been drawn blindly into
agreeing to an assignment and that the
other members of the company, after vast

speculation, were trying to defraud him of
his share of that sum which remains 1t

LEFT LYING In THE STREET.
Bright People who Passed by "a suf-
fering Woman.

Mabel Boyle, living at the Plaza Hotel,
was the victim of a peculiar accident last
night. Shortly after dusk as she was rid
ing bicycle just west of the Ilinois-street
bridge over White river she was seized with
an attack of heart failure and fell uncon-
scious In the road, where she remained for
over half an hour until the arrival of the
City Dispensary ambulance. While lying in
the road she was noticed by several persons
passing by, but the nearest approach to
help rendered TO her was that of one per-
son who notified the Dispensary physicians.
When placed in the ambulance she stated
that she conducted store in Haughville
and Sunday was taking a holiday at Broad
Ripple While in boat on the river the
waves from a steamer caused the boat to
rock so badly that she became frightened
and tainted, and while out riding last night
the memory of the occasion exercised so
strong an effect over her mind that she fell
from her wheel unconscious. DR. MacIvor,
who attended her, recommended her to con-
suit a physician. as her life was endangered
BY the weakness of her heart.

Judge Cox Declines to Fine People
Who Have Lost Them.

Judge Cox yesterday discharged ]. w.
Smith, who was arrested on a charge of
not displaying a vehicle license on the har-
ness of his horse. Mr.. Smiths plea was
that he had bought a license and had fas-
tened the tag to the harness, but that the
metal was SO soft that it broke away from
the rivets. The case is one of many of the
same nature that have come before Judge
Cox He feels that it is not right to fine
the defendants when the fault is the city's
in not supplying tags of good metal. The
tags now furnished are too soft to prevent
wire and rivets wearing through and allow
