DEALT LIGHTLY WITH HIM.
A Taggart Hustler Who Made False
Returns to HeaIth Board.

returns to Health Board.
The City Board of Health yesterday tried
and convicted one of the employees of the
Board of Safety. 1t was a very irregular
proceeding, but one which will probably be
quietly affirmed by the Board of Safety and
dropped. Horace Cramer is city patrol
man assigned to duty under the Board of
Health. He was accused of making false
returns regarding his work and with gem
eral neglect of duty as set forth in Sun
days Journal. He was aggressvely inter-
ested in keeping Mayor Taggarts fences in
tact while the latter in Chicago and
neglected his work to look out for the po-
litical work he was interested in. Last
Wednesday he was instructed to card a
house where there a of scarlet
fever. He reported that the work had been
done, when, in fact, he had not gone to the
house at ALL but was out at Brightwood
working to insure Taggart's control of the
Democratic county convention.
He was summoned to appear before the
Board of Health Saturday night, but failed
to appear. Yesterday he was there and adj
mitted his shortcomings. The board fined
him ten days pay and gave him severe
reprfmand.
Cramer is an appointee of the Board of
Safety and was assigned to police duty I'M
der the Board of Health. If charter re-
quirements had been observed yesterday he
would not have escaped so lightly. Section
los makes it unlawful for any employe of
the Board of Safety whether patrolman
or fireman, Ito solicit any person to vote at
any election for any candidate, or to chal-
lenge any voter or in any manner attempt
to influence any elector at such election, or
to be delegate or candidate for delegate to
any political convention, or to solicit for
any candidate for or delegate to such
convention or to be a member
of any political committee Any person
violating the provisions of this section shall
which may be added imprisonment for a
period not exceeding three months"

New Entrance 10 Garfield Park.

The Board of Works has decided to carry
out in a modified form, the idea of the old
Board of Park Commissions to provide an
entrance from Shelby street to Garfield
Park. The old park boards idea was to
make a park driveway extending from the
point where Pleasant run crosses Shelby
street down the run to Garfield Park, fol-
lowing the meanderings of the creek This
would have been a somewhat expensive
driveway and about three-quarters of mile
of land along the stream would have to be
purchased. The modified idea is to make
boulevard of Raymond street from Shelby
street. There are practically no houses on
the street in the quarter of a mile of space
between Shelby street and the park. 1t is
feet wide. with a park plot about one hun
dred feet wide in the middle and forty-foot
drives on either side

A Notable Concert at Plymouth
Church TO-MOrrOw Night.

The opening sale at the Big Four ticket
office yesterday for the Pugno concert at
Plymouth Church tomorrow night. under
the auspices of the Amphion Club, was
quite promising. While the sale is good,
there is number of choice seats yet to be
had. Raoul Pugno is the leading French
pianist of the day. He is also a member of
the Legion of Honor and a composer of
note. He has added to his popularity in
Paris by composing a number of comic
operas which have been produced with sue
cess in the French capital. However, his
fame rests upon his piano virtuosity. Oliver

A boy playing along Fall creek at Della
ware street Sunday afternoon found what
he supposed to be the body of a child In the
water. Yesterday the case was reported to
the police and patrolmen of the district
were sent to investigate the matter. 1t was
found that another boy had thrown the
body back into the water. A woman who
saw the body, came TO the conclusion that
it was not child but a monkey. She re-
membered that some campers on the creek

SUBSTANTIAL ROADBEDS
WESTERN LINES COME OUT OF WIN
TER IN FINE CONDITION.
The Big Four Pays Out Monthly at
Indianapolis s06,OOO-PennsyIva-
MIA Relief Department.

Engineers of maintenance of way of In
diana railways report that roadbeds and
tracks are coming out of the winter in I'M
usually good condition, despite the fact
that the traffic moved over them has been
the heaviest ever known in winter months.
The exemption from accidents where the
track was in fault is strong confederation
of the above statement. The wrecks during
the winter were chiefly due to overlooking
cars or getting some old car into a train,
which broke down, and rarely has the track
been in fault for a wreck on any Indiana,
Illinois or Ohio road the past winter. This
is the more remarkable from the fact that
much heavier engines are now in use and
freight cars carry greatly increased weight.
Still 1t is stated that so large percent
age of main lines in the States named is
laid with seventy to eighty-pound-to-th the
yard steel rail, and so much more closely
are crossties laid that even where a road
has light ballast the track is very solid
The conditions could hardly be more ia
vorable," said j. Q. Van Wrinkle, general
superintendent of the Big Four, than they
have been the last six months since freight
traffic became so heavy. Trains have been
run on schedule time, although many are
scheduled several miles faster per hour
than four years ago, track conditions have
been such that full trains could be hauled,
and as a result the roads have been oper-
ated on a much smaller per cent. of gross
earnings than in any winter for many
years.
The heavy rains Of the last few days have
not affected to any extent the solidity of
well ballasted tracks. Indications are that
business for many weeks to come will be
very heavy, and the winter closes with
track and equipment in excellent condi-
ton. There is one striking feature in rela-
ton to the heavy traffic of the last few
months which shows the value of airbrakes
and automatic couplers. There was never
a time since railroading become so import
ant an interest when fewer train employees
nave been. killed or injured and not so
many as in former years, when one-half
the present volume of business was hand
led. Through trains especially are now so
made up that it Is about as safe to be one
or a freight crew one of a passenger
crew Every train has enough cars equipped
with air brakes to admit of the engineer
controlling the train, even in case of
emergency, and so rapidly is the work of
equipping cars with air brakes and auto
matte couplers now going on that every
month greatly lessons the list of accidents
to train employees

special committee of the transcontinental

pose OF settling the troubles between the

tee has as yet been unable to accomplish
anything, but the chances are that an
agreement will be reached after some time.

the rates shall be restored, but not to the

preliminary matter will have to be arbitrat-
ca Defore the roads can arbitrate the main
matter IN dispute. The feeling of the gem

that they cannot settle affairs without a

Miss Barnes spoke of the smallness Of
the amount appropriated for the main

would be impossible to carry them on

also said that if it ever it was proper for
