MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.
This Writer Thinks 1t Undesirable,
but Inevitable.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Abstractly, nothing is palmer than that
the city should own the water, gas, cleo
tric, telephone and all such plants. and the
time will come, but it will be a century
hence, and only after most expensive ex-
periments. when all American cities will
control all such indispensable contributions
to city life; but concretely, nothing is more
hazardous and unwise. When a city corpo-
ration shall be managed as a railroad cor
poration or an insurance or banking corpo-
ration is, then all such enterprises will be-
long to the city, but not until then. The
men who control in all such affairs pay not
cent of the expenses incurred. except the
few who have managed TO ingratiate them
selves into favor with the masters of the
situation. A careful comparison of the
election rolls and the tax duplicate shows
that more than 60 per cent. of the voters of
Indianapolis pay not cent of tax, and
never did Indeed, we do not have to go far
back to find very influential members of the
Council in this category. What do such
men care how much the property of other
people is taxed to maintain them? The
water works of this city have been man
aged from the beginning to be fairly
remunerative to the stockholders, but who
managed, the city can even pay expenses
from present rates of toll cannot have
studied our municipal methods. To go no
further back than year. There is not an
intelligent man in the city who spent an
hour with TIE gang that was at work on
the Pogue's run Improvement year ago but
would conclude that the water works, the
street railroad, the Big Four or any other
private corporation would have done the
same work at less than half the cost.
When the water works comes under the
same management, and come 1t will, for
the voters, not the taxpayers, demand it,
the result Will be the same. 1t is not ex-
travagant to assume that the running ex-
penseS Of the water works will be double
the present expenses when the manage
ment comes into the hands of the city,
which, as a corporation, is controlled by
men who have TO interest in it, except as
they may live off it.
But what are we going to do about it?
What can we do? Only one thing is posi-
BILE, and that is 70 let our masters have
their way. The city will get the water
works, and after a while the gas works,
and so on. The demand of those who pay
no taxes is all in that direction. 1t will be
a costly experiment, but the school of ex-
perience is always expensive. But by and
by will have experience enough to break
away from the tyranny which now die
tateS how men who pay taxes muSk be at
the mercy of those who pay none. We have
a great deal to learn yet about municipal
aged. We are learning, and the time will
come when the species of robbery now in
vogue will not be tolerated. Yes, let us buy
the water plant, seeing we have to, and
the next century either drop it or modify
the method of electing directors. They will
do the latter. L. l.. SEE.

SUNDAY WITH THE POLICE
A VARIETY OF CASES THAT CAME
UNDER THEIR OFFICIAL EYES.
An Arrest on Account of Numerous
Fires-FuneraI of WiIharm,
Who Was Murdered.

William Hahn, eighteen years old and liv-
ing at go Rural street, was arrested yester-
day by Patrolmen Rooms and Kurtz and
charged with embezzlement and arson. 1t is
said that he, with two other boys who have
already been arrested, is accountable for
several fires in the south part of the city.
Three times in the last month has the barn
in the rear of 531 South Capitol avenue been
set afire, and the last time. this boy was
caught running from the place, much ex-
cited. He said then that other boys had
started the fire, and he was trying to keep
out of trouble. These boys did not like John
Robinson, who keeps a shop in the barn.
The other charge was made against him by
a Mrs Frye, who lives at the corner of
Norwood and Eddy streets. She says the
boy took q quantity of water melons and
grapes which were her property, and failed
to turn the proceeds of their sale over to
her.

Two forms slipped cautiously to a side win

The boys then withdrew into nearby alley
to wait and see If anyone was aroused Mr.
Mcdonald did not show himself and the
boys soon returned and started in. Then
Mcdonald rushed forward and frightened
them away, but not before he recognized
them. He reported their names to the police,
who arrested the boys yesterday.

ANOTHER STORY.
Did Wives of English Noblemen Fit
Out the Steamer Ravenna.

Did Wives of English Noblemen Fit
Out the Steamer Ravenna.
New York Special.
There has been a mystery in the Brook
Ign navy yard. Laborers and mechanics in
the yard have told strange stories of a
craft that has been tied to the Cob dock
since the war got under way. Many said
she was a deserted Spanish boat, and that
the coal in her hold was alive with internal
machines. This vessel that has excited so
much curiosity was a runner fitted out in
England by American women, wives of Brit
ish noblemen and other Englishmen, with
projectiles and ammunition for the New Or
leans which was forced from England I'M
equipped when hostilities began.
A reporter visited the vessel. On her
stern is the name Scplo but under this
name there is plainly to be seen through
thin coat of paint the word Ravenna. 1t
was a the Ravenna, it is said that she was
sent by the daughters of America in the old
country. When war was declared the New
Orleans, in England from Brazil, had to
leave her English port and the American
born Duchess of Marlborough who was
Consuelo Vanderbilt, became aroused to ac-
ton in aid of the United States. She
planned, with the approval of her husband
and interested other fair Americans, in
Guiding, it is whispered, the wives of high
political personages, in her scheme. Such

officer high in the navy. Continuing the
story, he said: Those American women
knew that the New Orleans had been forced
out by the neutrality laws without obtaining
projectiles and ammunition necessary for
her English make Of guns They bought the
Ravenna outright, and loaded her down
not only with projectiles and ammunition,
but with some of the guns which the New
Orleans had not had time to mount before
sailing. One morning the cruiser Columbia,
whether by accident or design has not been
officially stated, picked up the Ravenna off
CapeS Henry and Charles 1t was singular
that the cruiser should have been there and
it is more so that the Ravenna had not a

sary, but the lifeboats were missing and
the crew has never been heard of, and prob
ably never will he'

Getting Back to 1t.
Baltimore Sun.


The Democratic convention in the Second
congressional district yesterday announced
itself to be in favor Of the coinage of both
gold and silver at such ratio as shall pre-
serve the parity and value between the two
metals" The ratio that would do that is at
present about 81 to /. A piece of gold weigh
ing one ounce is just now at parity" of
value with about thirty-two ounces of sill
Yer. Declaring in favor of coming silver at
this ration of 81 to 1 is equivalent to de-
claring for a 100-cent silver dollar, though
cloudy words are used to give the declara-
ton free silver ring. Various straddles
Of the silver question have been attempted,
but this one has the merit of showing a dis
position to get back to sound principles. The
16-to-1 slogan is dropped and instead of that
we are to have such ratio as shall pre-
serve the parity Sixteen to one would not
hava preserved the parity We are evidently
ma king progress. After a time we shall
have Democratic conventions plainly urg-
ing free coinage at the market ratio. which
is the honest ratio. But the silver men of
the silver-mining States will take no inter-
est in free coinage at that ratio.

ammunition She few the British flag and
was the Emma k, according to the name
on her stern. 1t was a rather peculiar
name for a tramp steamship. and it aroused
much curiosity, especially as it was evident
that she had taken much risk in carrying
contraband of war. There was lively spec
ulation as to what port she could have come
from and how she managed to clear. No
body would or could tell anything about
Ter however. Not even the name of her
captain was to be learned. Powder and
other ammunition was shipped from her TO
many forts.
1t is known now that this vessel. like the
Ravenna, sailed from Antwerp. whence, in
some way the United States managed to
get many war supplies, even after HOSTILE
ties had begun.

Warren Kelly, a twelve-year-old son of
DIR. ]. d. Kelly. of this city, was sent to the
police station yesterday by the township
trustee of Franklin. 1t appears that the
boy was placed on a train, expecting him
to go to Frankfort where it is said an
uncle, Mahlon Parkinton, lives. From a
letter which was in the boys possession,
his father and mother have separated and
the father was sending his child to the uncle
for safe keeping, until he could take it IN
charge. 1t is supposed a mistake was made
in the trains, and Superintendent Quigley
wired to Frankfort yesterday afternoon TO
learn if such a man lived there. No answer
was received at a late hour.
