A NEW BOARD OF SAFETY
MAYOR TAGGART ANNOUNCED THE
APPOINTMENTS LAST NIGHT.
n. j. Hyde aad w. s. Mcmillan Sue
coed Messrs. Mack and MOrse-PO-
liticaI Complexion of Board.

At least part OF the anxiety Of Mayor
Taggart in making a long list of appoint
ments was set at ease last night when he
concluded the personnel of the new Boar
OF Public Safety at a conference at the
Grand Hotel. The new board will be COM
posed of Charles Roth, N. J.. Hyde and w.
S. Mcmillan, the latter being the Republic
can member Mr.. Roth will be the presi-
dent of the board.
In making these appointments Mayor
Taggart stated that he was careful to Sc
leet men whom he believed would be per-
tectly fitted TO act on such an important
board. The retiring members leave with the
kindliest OF feeling toward the mayor. Mr..
Mack and Mr.. Morse sent to Mayor Tag
CART some time ago their formal resigna-
tons as members OF the board and both
called on the mayor stating that for bust
ness reasons Of their own Ii would be i'm
possible for them to accept a reappointment.
Mayor Taggart stated last night that he
will probably make more appointments
within a few days.
The two new members of the board have
lived in indianapolis practically all their
lives. Mr.. Mcmillan represents the Nichols
* Shepherd Company. manufacturers Of
agricultural implements, and has been more
or less active In Republican politics for sew
eral years. although he has never held any
oflce. Mr.. Hyde is the owner of the Grand
Hotel Cafe, is a lifelong resident of In
der Governor Matthews. He has held no
other offices. Z

TYLER JURY STILL OUT
NO VERDICT REACHED IN THE SCOTT
COUNTY LYNCHING CASE.
Jurors Were Allowed to Separate mt
IL O'clock Last Night-Views
OF Attorneys.

At II o'clock last night the jury In the
Tyler case had not agreed upon a verdict,
and there Is much speculation rife as 10 the
cause. Some maintain that there is a diver
sity Of opinion among the jurors as to the
amount Of damages that should be returned.
Others say that there are jurors in this case
who would never consent TO a verdict for
the plaintiff and that as a consequence there
will be a hung jury"
Mr.. Rocker. in speaking Of the case yes
terday. said he felt well satisfied with the
presentation OF the case, and he honestly
believed that the jury would return a SUBJ
stantial verdict for the plaintiff. Said he:
IF the jury gives us a verdict In this case
that amounts to anything. you can
rely on ii that there will be no more lynch
ings I'm Scott county for a long time to
come" Neither Mr.. Rocker nor Mr.. Eek
ley. his counsel, could understand why the
jury was SO long in reaching a verdict,
but both Of them argue that it means a
verdict OF some kind for them, even IL il
should be a compromise. On the side of the
defense ii is said that it begins TO look
like a disagreement. and that would mean
tacitly the same thing as a victory for
them.
Since the jurors began their delibera tons
they nave not given u sign that would in
any way indicate why they have not
reached a verdict in the case. Their pres
ence in the jury-room would be unsupported
by any one VINO stood Immediately outside
the door. Not once have they asked for in
structiCns, so the theory cannot be advanced
that they cannot agree as to the La in the
case. There remain but two theories, II Is
said, either tue jury cannot agree as TO
the matters OF fact, or ii cannot agree to
the amount OF damages TO be assessed in the
verdict. At IL O'Clock last night the Jurors
were allowed TO separate. but under the in
structions OF the court they will reassemble
this morning. and continue their delibera-
tiOnS.

President Donnelly. of the international
Typographical Union. was notified yester-
day that the officials Of the Chicago Typo

the ccmpos!tors and pressmen in the en-
ploy OF the different members. and that a

GLASS MEN WANT RATES.
VIII Demand Concessions from Tramc
Association.

The National Flint Glass Manufacturers
Association, which has been in session at
the Bates House. has arranged to send a
committee 10 New York TO confer with the
Central Traffic Association over the conces-
sions which the glass manufacturers will
demand from the association in the way Of
rates on small shipments. Ii developed at
the meeting yesterday that the traffic asso-
citation intended TO raise freight rates to
an exorbitant figure by raising the minimum
Tonnage on car shipments from 5000 to
3,UJ pounds. The average tonnage for g.ass
bottles in carload lots is $500 pounds, and
by raising II 10 5000 the railroads will
practically kill the business OF the smaller
concerns. Ii is said, moreover, that the traf-
nc association intends TO advance the ship
ments or Jess than carload lots from third
TO second-class freight. and this will result
in making the freight charges about double
what they are at present.

WANTED SENATOR SHEA
HIS PRESENCE WAS DESIRED BE-
FORE GRAND JURY YESTERDAY.
A Misunderstanding Cleared Up-Ex-
Councilman Harston Appears Be-
fore the Jury.

Through a misunderstanding. the county
prosecutor came near issuing an attach
ment for Senator Shea yesterday. The SEN
ator is wanted by the grand jury to testify
in the street-railway investigation. For sew
eral days he has been engaged I'm the lynch
ing case In the United States court. The
fury wanted to hear what Senator Shea had
to say last week, but he was unable to get
away from the Federal Court. Prosecuting
Attorney Pugh understood that the senator
had promised to come as soon as the lynch
ing case was completed and the matter was
allowed to rest.
Yesterday afternoon another inquiry was
made for Senator Shea, and 1t was re-
marked that the case in which he was inter-
ested in the Federal Court was no longer
occupying his attention. The prosecutor
said he would get the senator. and at once
united up Judge Afford, Of the Crimina
Court. The prosecutor stated that he de-
sired to issue a capias for Senator Shea and
he wanted to do 1t at once. While the
prosecutor and judge were preparing the
capias. Deputy Prosecutor Wall happened
to come In. When he learned that the
strong arm Of the aw was about to be laid
violently on Senator Shea, he FASTENED to
explain that a mistake had been made. 1t
appears from Mr.. Walls explanation that
the senator informed him some days ago
that after the iynching case was completed
he would be ready to go before the grand
jury, and he requested that q telephone
message be sent him from the Criminal
Court when he was needed. The capias was
not issued and the senator was notified last
night that the grand jury would be ready
for him this morning.
Ex-Councilman Al Harston was called be-
fore the grand jury yesterday afternoon,
and ii is supposed he was asked about the
story related by j. +. Mason. Whether
or not he gave the jury anything important
to work on is not known. Matson was be-
fore the grand jury last week, and Ii Is pre-
sumed he told the same story In the jury
room that he related before going into the
chamber. He said that Harston stated to
hat he (Harston) received money for
his vote in the Council in favor OF the ordi-
nance granting the street-railway franchise.
Harston was before the jury ABOUT three
quarters of an hour.
Among the others called before the jury
yesterday were Hilton u. Brown, G. II.
McCaslin, Frank Stuckey, w. II. Blodgett.
Conrad Bender. Fred Heller. Thomas Sher-
fey and Joseph E Berry.

To Unite American Exporters.

j. f Sitterly. treasurer of the United Ex-
porters and Traders Association of Amer
lea. was at the Bates yesterday after a trip
through Europe. Asia, South Africa. South
America and the Southern States. He said
the great drawback to the expectation OF
American manufactures was the lack Of
facilities for placing their wares before
buyers in European and Asiatic countries.
when asked what the conditions were in
South Africa he said that while he had
spent considerable time there a few weeks
ago, he was under pledge not TO talk Of
south African auairs until he returned to
New York. He said he had stopped in In
dianapoiis at the request OF several OF the
prominent manufacturers OF the city whose
trade had sunered since The war began. Ills
association, which maintains warerooms in
the principal cities OF the word, mas ar
ranged 10 represent many manufacturers

ice I'd manufacturers on any concern in the
world without charge, the purpose being TO
promote American expectation.

COL. HIGHLANDS REPORT.
He shows that the Curfew Law Ia q
Success.

At the annual meeting Of the executive
board of the Boys and Girls National
Home and Employment Association. held
yesterday afternoon at the Commercial Club
rooms, Colonel Hogeland presented his
annual report, which was received and it's
recommendations indorsed. 1t was voted to
request Governor Mount to place in the
hands Of the executives of other States
copies Of the FIVE laws mentioned in the
report in the hope that the State legis.a-
lures may enact the same. and apply their
provisions TO every city and town. In his re-
port Colonel Hogeland said in part:
1T affords me pleasure to state that since
the meeting of the board a year ago. have
visited a number Of cities, remaining in each
of them long enough TO familiarize the city
officials and general public witt the simple,
ducing and home-blilding influence Of the
curfew, and to select in each an auxiliary
curfew board of thirty persons 20 look after
the doption and enforcement OF the ordi-
nance. / am convinced that the ordinance
is in force in over four hundred cities in
various States. AS a method OF surpresSng
crimes among youth, without subjecting
them to the humiliation of state and city
prisons, courts and reform schools, the cur
few has no equal. So far as | know. no city
enforcement than Indianapolis. and the zeal
of your police officials in enforcing the cur
few has proved an inspiration to the officials
In many other cities that have since adopted
IL. The Indianapolis officials report a de-.
crease of so per cent. in commitment OF
youths to the Reform School. There are
four other laws that might, with equal
propriety. be enacted with the curfew. They
are respectively: First, the Imprisonment
of youths apart from old and hardened
criminals; second. the detention OF tramp,
ing BOYS and girls by officials of cities and
towns. and restoring them to their homes;
third. protection of children in immoral and
d;ssipated homes: fourth. opening OF free
intelligence offices where boys and girls MAJ
themselves. or through their parents. reg.
lister for homes or employment. Many or
the hest lega, men, including city Judges,
regard these additional laws as important as
the curfew. They will serve as forms Tor
adoption where not In conflict with state
laws already in force"
