THE CAPTAINS TWO ARRESTS.
DanvilIe Driver who Laughed at
the Police.

1t is unusual when captain Of police has
two arrests credited to him in one day, but
such was the record yesterday of Captain
Dawson. and he had to run to catch each of
his prizes. He was out in his buggy in the
afternoon, lesurely driving toward head
quarters, when, at the corner of Washing
ton and Pennsylvania streets, farmer driv-
ing large load of boxes on the left side
of the street attracted his attention. Pa
trolman Hagerman had called to the man,
but he only laughed at the policeman and
at slightly faster speed. The captain
turned his horse quickly and started in pur-
suit. He called and warned the driver, but
again laugh was the only response. The
heavy load nearly ran over the corner man
at Meridian street and passed on unmo-
Tested. but the captain was angry by this
time Urging his horse, he quickly passed
the imprudent fellow and drove directly in
front of him. Then Patrolman Lund, who
ran forward, was ordered to place the driver
under arrest. He gave his name as Everett
Ray, and said he lived in Danville. He was

FIREMEN AND POLICE
TWO DEPARTMENTS ARE ANXIOUS
ABOUT THE SALARY ORDINANCE.
Generally Believed Wages VIII Be
Raised Next Year-Opinions
of City officials.

The police and fire departments are en-
gagged in discussing the ordinance intro
duced in the Council, which WILL if passed,
have the effect of raising the salaries of the
guardians of life, peace and property The
policemen, particularly those who have in
quired what the salaries Of the departments
of other cities are, argue that indianapolis
should be abreast Of other cities in pay
ing it's employees. Cincinnati it is said, pays
its patrolmen as much as Indianapolis pays
It's captains. Similar examples are cited, and
expressions are heard at the police station
that the new ordinance should be passed.
The firemen are now struggling under a
salary cut OF one-seventh, made necessary
by the fact that the appropriation would
have run out before the end of the year
had not decisive measures been taken to
prevent it. They will be glad to receive
their lawful salary and delighted to get
raise The new law would go into effect
the first of next year.
In the offices OF the city government the
new ordinance is not given much COM
mendation. There are those who say the
policemen and firemen make as much now
as men in similar stations of life receive.
1t is asserted that If any of the city en-
ployes' wages are raised they should be
those of the clerks in the city Offices 'Of
course Ed Little introduced the ordinance
for the political effect" is one Of the express
sions heard in the basement of the court
house.
Mayor Taggart was asked yesterday what
he thought of the ordinance. 81 have not
read it,, he replied, "but 1 believe that if
the city has the means the wages of the
police and fire departments should be
raised" This is one of the mayors char
acteristically noneommittal statements.
City Controller johnson does not believe
in the proposed ordinance because, he says,
1t will force raising of the tax levy. This
objection it is pointed out by several who
have heard of the city controllers opinion
is not so strong, because it is certain that
the tax levy must be raised anyway. The
fact of several appropriations being away
too short, it is averred, is sufficient evil
dence that the levy must be raised.
The fire department brought great pres
sure to bear on councilmen for relief when
the order was made by the Board of Safe
~ to cut the tiremens wages and the police
department seems to have strong reason to
believe the ordinance will go through easily
The two departments control a. good MANY
votes and it is asserted they will have little
olInculty in getting what they want Be-
SiueS there seems to be little general obiec-
fire forces.

Advertising the state Fair.

Indianas state fair has been extensively
advertised this year on bill boards. Every
hamlet in the State either has been or is to
be billed In the larger cities and towns of
the State large stands of twenty-four sheets
are being put up. One stand is a pictorial
illustration of the Battle of Manila" which
appeared. in Golfers Weekly, and is used
by permission. The display bills are of
handsome design and cooring. Several thou
sand stands of three sheets and as many
one sheets adorn the bill boards of Indian
apolis and other cities of the State and
thousands of hangers and window cards, are
used. The designing of the cards and of
nearly all Of the advertising, including
premium lists, was that of Marion Tuttle.
Secretary Kennedy, of the state board, says
Of the fair itself that it will be one of the
best the State has known ana he. is conf

Battle of Manila will be the means of
drawing thousands to the city.

DAMAGED BY FIRE.
Two Concerns Lose to the Extent of
$1,000.

At about $50 o'clock YESTERDAY afternoon
fire broke out in the barns of the Capital
City Sweeping Company, at 446 East Wash
ington street, and rapidly communicated to
loft full of hay, where it ragged for
short time. A second alarm was almost
Immediately turned in The employees about
the barns, however. worked with the chem
ieals, which were literally scattered
throughout, and soon had the blaze in con-
troll. The stock, harness and sweepers were
quickly moved to the street. and the dam
age to the hay and framework inside the
barns was the extent of the loss. The
Monarch Governor and Enclosing Com
pany, which occupies the rooms at 44S and
45O East Washington street, suffered also.
The water was unavoidably turned on some
of the finest machinery and IL is said did
much damage. The people in the barns of
the sweeping company say the fire broke
out in the hay which lies next TO the wall
of the enclosing company and they think
the heat of the foundry caused it. The loss
to both concerns was about 81 800.

THE CHIEF TERMED DEWEY"
Four of the BungaIoo Gang Caught
by the Police.

The "Bungaloo gang" appeared in battle
array about the Statehouse yesterday, and
succeeded in creating trouble which finally
landed four of them in the station house.
Each carried a slungshot and a pocketful
of pebbles. which they hurled at passers-
by. One old man was struck on the back
of the head and disabled for few minutes
The police were called, and Bicycle Patrol
men Steit and Schroeder responded. They
came upon the boys from opposite sides, and
as the lads started to run each policeman
collared two boys. Earl Logan, Charles
Hicks, Arthur Hayes and Burnie Sullivan
were the names given. Already several Of
the gang are in the workhouse, and if these
boys are convicted, it is believed the gang
which has proved such nuisance in the
west, part of the city, will be broken up.
The boys. are fully organized, but instead of
captain" or chief as a distinguishing
mark the leader bears upon the front of
his cap, in large letters Dewey"

of the order" 1t will be sold for the benefit
of his estate The souvenir book is now in
the hands Of w. B. Burford for publication
and will be issued in a few days. 1t will

cially valuable to members of the order,
which information was compiled by Secre-
tary Bowers, of the executive committee.
There will be a general historical sketch
of secret societies; an account of the
ganization of the Knights of Pythias, his
tory of the organization of the Supreme
Lodge, the spread of the order the organ
ization of the Uniform Rank, which took
place in Indianapolis twenty years ago this

The indianapolis Knights of Pythias
lodges will make a hard fight for the cash
prizes offered to Marion county lodges par
ticipating in the street parade to be held
Tuesday in connection with the biennial en-
campment of the Uniform Rank. The secre-
tary of each of the local lodges has sent
personal letter to every member of his
lodge urging him to participate in the
parade and to wear the uniform adopted by
the lodge for the occasion. The letter APP
peals to the member to join with his lodge
and possibly win the prize and if not, to
do our part to make great event

The street parade is expected to be a
great event" indeed. The announcement of
percentage prizes has started a rivalry
among lodges everywhere which is likely to

Cost of Special Policemen.

The forty-one special policemen employed
during the l.. A. w. meet cost the city $43O
more, as was facetiously remarked, than
the wheelmen left in the town. During the
knights of Pythias encampment one hun
dred special policemen will be employed on
the force, and, besides, the clerk Of the
Board of Safety Is granting special police
powers to q large number of men who will
be connected with Camp Colgrove. Market
Master Goebel has a laudable ambition to
turn as large amount of fees into the
city treasury as possible and, for that rea-
son, he complains that the grand stand be-
ing erected on the south side of the court
house prevents a large number of farmers
