A SENSATIONAL APPEAL
ATTORNEY GENERALS CHARGES IN
A MEDICAL BOARD CASE.
Allegations as to the Prosecution OF
Mrs. Eliza Il. Coffin.
of KNOX.

Attorney General Taylor yesterday filed an
appeal in the case of Mrs. Eliza Ellen Cof-
fin, of Knox, who was refused a license to
practice medicine by the State Medical
Board some time ago. The facts in the case,
as alleged by the appeal. are that Mrs. Cof-
fin has acquired Il bad reputation in the
practice of medicine and was indicted by
the grand jury of Starke county for per-
forming a criminal operation. The appeal
says that the record of the indictment was
cut from the county records, along with
eighteen others, and that since then nothing
has been done with her case.
When she was refused a license by the
Medical Board the complaint says that she
appealed from the board to the Circuit Court
of her county. Deputy Prosecutor Bradford
Il. u. Glazebrook was at that time absent
with the e-hundred-and-fifty- Regi-
ment in which he served as first lieutenant
of Company H. The court called up the
case. and in his absence a lawyer named
Robbins took the prosecutors place, with
out however, receiving any authority from
that official. 1t is alleged that he was In
the pay of Mrs. Coffin, and when he APP
peared for the Medical Board he did so for
the purpose of allowing judgment to be en-
tered against the board. As soon as prac-
ticable tho State asked to have the case
tried again, but the court refused to reopen
it, and the attorney general yesterday ap.
pealed the judgment TO the Supreme Court.

TRACK ELEVATION.
Mayor Promises to Give Matter Early
Consideration.

The Commercial Club railroad commission
has turned over the communications which
it has recently received on the elevated
track problem to Mayor Taggart, who
promises to give them early attention. The
commission is disposed to at once begin an
active campaign for this great need of IN
dianapOlis. One of the letters received YES
terday in response to the inquiry sent over
the country by the commission was from
John Wanamaker of Philadelphia Says he:
THE elevation of the tracks of the Penn
sylvania Railroad has been an advantage
to the city of Philadelphia generally by
reducing the delays and dangers. AS to
shipping, it has practically made no differ
ence. 1t is quite as convenient to get and
deliver goods as before. There has been no
noticeable change in the rates resulting
from the elevation of the tracks,
This is similar to other expressions made
to the commission by its correspondents
Among the business men of the city the
question is receiving earnest consideration
Mr. Thomas c. Day said yesterday that he
is decidedly in favor of the tracks being ele-
waited, that it would be in keeping with the
progressive thought and action of the times
and that sooner or later Indianapolis must
meet the problem as Chicago and other
cities have done. John II. Holiday, one of
the early advocates of track elevation and
a member of the commission, in speaking
of the matter yesterday said that the sooner
the question is met the better. 1t is ex-
pected that Mayor Taggart who has here
tofore expressed himself as being in line
with the track elevating movement, will
take decisive action at an early date.

B00MS INDIANA COAL.
MIR. BIatchIey Thinks Gas VIII Not
Last Long.

state Geologist Blatchley believes that
the people of Indiana should think more Sc
riously OF the possibilities of the coal fields
of the State than of the failing gas supply.
His forthcoming report will deal with this
eXhaustively. In his last report Mr. Blatch-
ley called attention to the fact that the
gas fields gave every indication that the
supply could not last more than four years
IN any considerable quantities, and that the
people, both manufacturers and household
ers, would be compelled to return to the use
or coal at an early date. IN speaking of
inns yesterday he said that the sections of
the state i'm which the coal deposits are
being worked are destined within COM
paratiVely short time, TO be the manufac-
turing center of Indiana. He viii show in
MS report that there is coal enough to last
Two centuries. AS the industries i'm the gas
belt are obliged to seek new fields on ac-
count or the failing supply of gas, they will
De lrresistibly attracted to the coal field
Mr.. Blatchley says it is his personal opinion
that the heart of the gas belt will supply
gas Tor manufacturing purposes only two
or three years more, and within that time
the real value of the Indiana coal deposits
viii be realized as they never have been
before.
