Democrats to stir up strife among. the
friends OF Union =. Hunt. of Randolph
county and j. j. NJ. La Toilette, of Jay
county, both of whom have been men
toned candidates for the secretary OF
state nomination. The Sentinel contained an
article charging that Hunt was using his
official connection with the X. of p. to down
La Toilette. AT the same time the Journal
published letter from MIR. La Toilette
stating that he was not a candidate and
would not allow his name to be presented &c
the convention, as he had said to others he
did not intend to be candidate. AS mat
ter OF fact, Mr.. Hunts candidacy was an
nounced over a month before Mr.. La Fol-
lettes name was mentioned by some OF his
friends, who did not know that he had dis
claimed being a candidate.
Equally futile have been the attempts to
make political capital out of a difference of
opinion that has arisen between Alexander
Hess, clerk of the Supreme Court, and Dep
uty Auditor of State Hart, concerning fees
collected in the office of the former. 1t was
stated in a morning paper yesterday that
Mr.. HesS's salary had been held up for sew
en- months, pending a settlement of the dis
pute. This is said to be false at the auditor S
office, where it is explained that Mr.. Hess
has received all the salary due him. save
that for the quarter which ended July l.
None of the state officers it is said has yet
made a statement of his fees and received
receipts and releases as 1t takes some time
to prepare them, and Mr.. Hess is no more
delinquent in this respect than Others. The
new law went into effect last October and
Jan. l he filed the required statement of
fees received by him for the remainder of
that year, and drew the salary due him, as
he did also April l. Since then ii has been
suggested that Mr.. Hess ought to account
for fees paid the clerks in his office for max
ing transcripts of opinions. even though
they were made after hours and were not
part of their official duties. Mr.. Hess has
held that the fees paid for the transcripts
made by his clerks on their own time were
not official fees and he was not required to
account for them. The question has not
very small and is more than covered by the
quarters salary now due Mr.. Hess.

ALL GO OVER TILL FALL
SUITS IN WHICH CITY is INTEREST

MIR. Kern to Go East to Get Evidence
i'm Gas Litigation-Three-
Cent-Fare Case.

Nothing will be done until fall in either
the three-cornered case of the city, the
Citizens Railroad Company and the City
Street Railroad Company; the 3-cent fare
case or the suit of the Indianapolis Gas
Company against the city for permanent
injunction against the latter enforcing the
ordinance reducing the gas rates City At
torney John w. Kern will go East in
week or two to collect evidence in the gas
case. He has settled on a line of evidence
which he will pursue in fighting the gas
company, but, of course. he will not let it
become public. This case is at issue in the
Federal Court. Mr.. Winter. who has gone
to Europe, will be back by the opening of
the next term of court, and will handle the
case for the gas company.
The points in the street railroad tangle
are all involved in the Hamilton county
case, Mr.. Kern says This is the case in
which the city, the Citizens Street Railroad
Company, and the City Street Railroad
Company are parties. 1t has been ap-
pealed to the State Supreme Court. The
briefs will all have been filed by Septem-
Der, and the case will then be up for oral
argument.
Mayor Taggart said last night in regard to
the Scent fare case: I'VE are trying to get
the case into the United States Supreme
Court in one jump without going through
the Court Of Appeals. Mr.. Kerns visit East
will only be of a few weeks duration. When
he returns the case will be pushed rapidly.
Mr.. Kern has tried to get the street rail-
road company's attorneys to act in the mat
ter. AS it stands now there is an injunction
against us, and we cannot force the COM
pany to take S-cent fares until the injunc-
ton is dissolved"

them reduced to a business question. and

PERROTT & GORMAN CASE.
Judge Harvey Refuses to Grant On
Party Injunction.

Judge Harvey Refuses to Grant One
Party Injunction.
Judge Harvey, of the Superior Court has
refused to grant an injunction in the suit of
Samuel V. Perrott against his ex-business
partner, Patrick j. German. Perrott & Cor
man were formerly engaged in the loan and
real estate business, but few months ago
dissolved partnership. According to the
claim of Mr. Perrott. they We're largely en-
gagged in loaning money to firemen. police
men and other city employees. When the
firm dissolved partnership it was under
stood that German was not to engage in
this feature of the business again for
year. Two weeks ago Samuel V. Perrott
brought a suit in the Superior Court charg-
ing that German was again loaning money
to city employees, and asking that he be en-
joined from doing.
Judge Harvey yesterday heard the merits
of the case on the afhdavitS of the parties
to the suit German asserted that he has
made but one loan to city employee since
the partnership was dissolved, and this loan
was made on a chattel mortgage. He said
that Perrott told him he did not care what
he did in the way of loaning money on chat
tel mortgages" The defendant asserted that
his sister, Ella f. German has a desk in
his Office and is engaged in loaning money
on her own account The defendant directs
city employees to his sister when they want
to borrow money The court held that the
evidence did not warrant him in granting
an injunction.

had a great deal of trouble getting his work
done. 1t finally fell on a girl, the daughter
of a man named Thomas. who drove the
tank wagon. The bondsmen of Hamilton
are Charles Girton and William l. Ripley.
To save themselves they took the contract,
and will carry on the sprinklng in the dis
tricts that were formerly Hamiltons. Ham
ilton's contract called for sprnkling in Dis
tricts and 10 and on Capitol avenue, from
Indiana avenue to Twenty-first street. The
residents of these districts complained the
work was not half done. An inspector was
sent out to investigate He reported Ham

Thomas, and Thomas turned the work over
to his daughter. Hamilton was warned by
the board his work was not satisfactory.
This seemed to do no good Members of
