STREETS CROSSING PARKS.
Bureau Will Not Permit system to Be
Chopped Up.

One effect of the proposed park system
along White river and Fall creek would be
to prevent the opening and extension of
streets that do not now cross those streams.
Take the north part of the city, for in
stance; at present there is a bridge over
FAN creek at Meridian street, and another
at Central avenue intermediate streets end
at Fail creek, or, at least, do not have
bridges across it. When the parkway is
completed, the city will not permit the
opening of streets that are not already es-
tablished thoroughfarest as to do SO would
chop the park UP into small blocks. The
Park Bureau asserts that there arc enough
thoroughfares already established TO pre-
vent any of the section of the city north OF
the creek and west of the river becoming
landlocked, but this assertion has been
there is a bridge across the river at Wash
lngton street. The next bridge north is at
Michigan street, a half mile away. Still
farther north the stretch between bridges
Is even greater.
Residents of "Cerealinetown' have been
talking about a new bridge at Sixteenth
street for some time, but proposition to
to Rembrandt and place bridge over the
creek was voted down at q meeting held
one night this week, when requests that
are to be made of the Board of Works was
discussed The bridge proposition was
voted down, as it would have cut across
park lake. Councilman Bowser and Green
Hagerman, on behalf of the meeting, re-
quested the Board of Works for fire els
tern and additional lights yesterday.

CENTRAL UNIONS CAMPAIGN.
Issues "a Pamphlet Instead Of Lower
ing Rates.

The Central Union Telephone Company
mas at last aroused itself to action against
threatened competition, not by q reduction
OF the high rates which prevail, but by the
Issuance of a pamphlet showing why there
should be but one telephone exchange in
indianapolis, and, incidentally, that one the
Central Union plant. The pamphlet quotes
a number of firms in Indiana cities to the
effect that two exchanges in a town make
a business nuisance. The first page contains
a letter from w. S. Osborne, of the Ken
dallville, Ind, Sun, who lays down this
proposition in beginning: mo firm or COM
pany can control all the business in their
line in community, but it is not necessary
to start . second enterprise on this ac-
count" None OF these letters has refer
ence to the rates in Indianapolis.
1t is said by friends of the new company
that the existence of two telephone ex-
hanges in Indianapolis will not bother the
people much, the subscribers too the old
company are fast signing contracts with the
new company, and when the new exchange
is in operation there will be little occasion
for patrons to maintain the old phones.

THE MAENNERCHOR CONCERT.
The First One Under Direction of
Franz BelIiEger.

Unusual interest was evinced in the
concert of the Maennerchor Society
given last evening, as it was the
first under the direction of Franz
Bellinger, who has but recently come
to this city from Philadelphia The
selections were all OF an order which
combined excellencies of composition and
melody. The style of the new director is es-
sentially different from that of any previous
leader of the Maennerchor. Tonal quality
and attention to rhythm are prime factors
and in these the chorus has done remark
ably well in the short time in which it has
been singing. The first number was WAN
derlust," by NJ. Peuschel, and the other was
"Elslein Won Caub," by NJ. Filke, sung by
the Maennerchor. The mixed choruses were
especially well sung. The Ave Verum'' was
solemn and impressive, the voices harmon
izing richly III the full round tones. The
'Koenigen Waldlieb' by Meyer-Olber
leben, was, perhaps, the most difficult of
any number, with its varied modulations
and changes, and the singers kept the pitch
with unusual evenness. The last number
was ''Sternenwelt. in waltz time, one part
carrying the waltz. while the others sang
the accompaniment. 1t was an excellent
male to the programme. Mrs S. Kiser
played the piano accompaniment for the two
mixed chorus numbers, sustaining them
with force and sympathy.
The Maennerchor was assisted by Miss
Mamie jenkins, young pianist of the city,
who played Grieg's Concerto A Minor, Op.
10" The pianist gave fine rendering of the
number, playing with dash and vigor UNI
usual for an amateur. Her lingering was
graceful and the octave passages were Sus-
tanned brilliantly. Mrs. Kiser played an or
chestral accompaniment on a second piano,
and shared in the honorS with Miss Jenkins
the two playing together as one, with sue
cess. Miss Louise. T. Pfaffiin, who has but
recently returned from Cincinnati, where
she has been studying, made her debut be-
fore the society. Miss Pfaff1in has a con-
tralto voice, which she uses well. Her tones
are deep and clear, and there is a quality
which is alike throughout, the low and high
notes being unusually similar in this re-
spect. For the first, she sang the ''Du Ring
an Meinem Finger" by Schumann, a quiet
melody, and for the second the Hearts
Delight" by W. w. Gilchrist, a more elab-
crate number Miss Pfafiin was enthusiastic
cally applauded and returned to bow
thanks and get two large bouquets, but that
was not enough to satisfy her hearers, and
she then sang Good Night by Rubinstein.
the piano quartet, the "Jubel Overture by
Weber which was admirably played by
Miss Jenkins, Mrs. OBoyle Miss Halpin
and Mrs. Leckner Mr. Frank Fl. Ormsby,
who was to have sung, was obliged to be
absent from the city. Mr.. Bellinger received
many congratulations from the large audi
ence, as did the individual members of the
chorus and the assistants of the evening,
who contributed toward making the concert
such success. After the concert there was
the usual dance and a supper.

Millions of dollars have been lost by in
trusting the settlement of estates and trus-
teeships for minors or dependents to in
dividuals. How often the loss of an estate,
through the dishonesty or incompetency of
an executor or guardian, is noted in the
press, and how often sureties are called on
to make good their bonds for defaulting
officials. Why take such risk, then, when
the State authorizes a company to do this
work and hedges it about with the strong
est legal restraints that can be devised? In
selecting The Union Trust Company as ex-
ecutor or trustee you have servant that
will be permanent and financially response

kept separate from its own, and its BUSH
ness is conducted with the greatest care

and know what an administration will cost.

phatic in his assertion that the subject has
never been preached to him.
About the City Hall it is asserted that the

THE INDETERMINATE LAW.
Review OF the Argument i'm Supreme
Court Yesterday.

The Supreme Court heard oral argument
yesterday morning in the case of George
Miller, of Laporte county, against the state.
Miller is a convicted burglar, who is seek
ing reversal of the judgment against him
on the grounds that the new indeterminate-
sentence law is unconstitutional His side
of the case was argued by John w. Talbot
of South Bend, while the states case was
presented by Attorney General Ketcham.
Mr.. Talbot maintained that the rights of
the jury were infringed upon by the law,
and that an administrative board of prison
directors was given judicial functions when
it was endowed with the authority to de-
termine the length of a prisoners term.
This board asserted the counsel, is appoint
ed as a reward for political services -
adopts its own rules and is responsible TO
nobody for it's action in individual cases.
Mr.. ketcham on the other hand, main
tanned that the new law was merely an ex-
tension of the power previously possessed
by prison boards to make allowances for
good time" to convicts. and that the
power to fix the punishment lies in the
LegislatuT ?, and is not an abridgement of
the constitutional provision guaranteeing
the right of trial by jury. The new law,
ne said, was a Salutary one, ana framed
with the end in view or providing an IN
centive for reformation. and was in con-
formity with that provision of the Constitu-
ton which states that the penal code shall
be founded on the principles of reformation
and not of vindictfve justice" He further
said that dozen States had laws similar
to the Indiana law. and that in only one
had the law been declared unconstitutional.
Aside from the consttutionality of the in
determinate sentence, question was raised
in the case whether a trial judge is required
to furnish a transcript of the evidence to
a prisoner asking for an appeal who is not
able to pay for the same The decision of
the court respecting the indeterminate SEN
tence will apply to half a dozen other cases
now pending in the court, in which this is
the PRINCIPAL nnint raised.

In THE HERO" BUSINESS.
kid Mccoy Punches TrOlIey-Car
Tough.

The New York Journal tells of the recent
experience of Kid Mccoy in a new role. 1t
says:
Charles Mccoy, the pugilist, has gone
into the hero business. He has blossomed
as a defender of terrified women and dis
ciplinarian of trolley car toughs. Mccoy is
playing an engagement at a Brooklyn the
alter, and at 11:20 O'Clock Tuesday night
boarded a trolley at the corner of Hoyt ard
Fulton streets. As the boxer climbed the
car steps he heard the shrieks of women
passengers, and looked in the car door in
time to see a powerful, burly fellow using
the conductor as punching bag. The
motorman was terrified the half dozen
women shrieked in fear and a small-sized
man craWled near the front door.
THE bully evidently thought ne had done
his fun duty, for he was about to get off
the car as Mccoy entered Taking in the
situation at a glance, the boxer quietly re-

ceived.

Gilliard Agency Company, who disappeared
about Dec !, has been arrested in Chicago,

charges against him. But he will not be

Late in the night NJ. V. McGilliard, after
consultation with others interested in the
case, notified Superintendent Quigley that
he would not pay the expense of sending an
officer for the man and of prosecuting him.
Superintendent Quigley then wired the Chi
cago authorities to release Wright. The
first announcement of his disappear
ance was made after he had been
gone month. He left early I'm De-
cember, telling his wife he was going hunt
ing and would be away several days. After
a week or ten days it was believed he had
met some mishap, it never occurring to his
employers that he was defaulter. Finally
his accounts We're examined and 1t was
discovered, sc his employers claimed. that

the McGilliard agency and $1,000 with the
building and loan association. He owned

and that concern was amply protected. 1t
Is said that his relatives agreed, shortly
after 1t was found that he was short, TO
