QUIZZING THE CANDIDATES.
Christian EndeavOr Committee Wants
to Know Their Views.

Charles Z. Newlin, chairman of the Chris
tan Citizenship committee of the Christian
Endeavor local union, has sent a letter to
each of the candidates for mayor, asking
that they declare their position on five ques-
tions of vital interest to the welfare of the
city. The first was in regard to what in
structions would be given TO the chief Of
police and the Board of Public Safety rela-
tive to sale in the city of immoral litera-
ture. such as the Police Gazette, the New
York Standard and various other similar
publications; the second was relative to the
gambling now being openly conducted; the
third as to the enforcement of the saloon
law, and especially in regard to the closing
of saloons at IL o'clock, on Sundays and
legal holidays; the fourth was relative to
the houses or prostitution, and the fifth
relative 10 Sabbath dissertation, particular
ly in regard to beer picnics and open beer
gardens.
The same questions will also be asked Of
ether candidates for city Offices The ex-
ecutive committee of the local union in
structed the Christian Citizenship commit
tee TO prepare the questions, but had at the
time no definite object in view except to
secure from the several candidates a dec
laration Of their position. 1t is said that
to the city campaign, but at present the
organization Is after information only. The
candidates for mayor have announced their
intention of replying as soon as possible to
the communications, but could not say what
the answers would be.

A STUDY In ETHIOPIAN NUDE
Batch of Young Swimmers Dashed
Through the Streets.

Yesterday morning, while Patrolman
Terry Moore was passing along Vermont
street, near the canal, he heard sounds of
splashing coming from the water and saw
clothing on the bridge. His first thought
was Of a suicide. Instead, he found a crowd
of colored boys bathing in the canal. He
made rush for the clothes about the same
time the boys started after seeing him.
Moore got there first, and the boys, seeing
they could not get their garments turned
and ran away. They were entirely naked,
and the spectacle presented was rather an
unusual and shocking one to some of the
residents Of that neighborhood. They ran
through several streets and alleys and sep
arated at West street. Moore took the
clothing to the No 1 engine house, on Mich
igan street, and then called in colored boys
to act as messengers to advise the ones who
had abandoned their clothing Of its where
abouts. Upon a promise that they would
not be arrested the lads, dressed in bor-
rowed garments. called, one at a time, for
them.

THE BODY HASTILY BURIED.
Each of Two Families Think the Dead
Man Was a Relative.

Miss Hattie Rover, APT Hudson street.
who thinks the man found Sunday hanging
from a tree near Carmel. Ind. was her
father, returned yesterday afternoon from
that place, indignant over the actions OF
the township trustee, j. W. Morrow, who
buried the body Monday afternoon upon
orders from a deputy coroner or Hamilton
county. She returned to Carmel last night
with the intention Of having the body ex-
humed in order to make more certain the
identification. Those in this city who have
had to do with the matter condemn the
officials of Hamilton county for their haste.
The body, which was found Sunday. was
yet warm, showing that life had been ex-
tinct but a short time, and with proper at
tention there could have been no difficulty
in preserving the body and allow sufi-
cient time for identification. Miss Roger
feared that instead Of burying the body it
was turned over TO some medical college.
She said her father Robert Watt Roger.
was a contracting carpenter. but was oc-
casionally given to excessive use of liquor.
at which times he became respondent and
kept away from relatives and acquaint-
anees. Miss Roger also COMPLIANCE at not

son, who lived and worked at Hagerstown.
Davis said the names in the papers taken
from the memorandum book found in the

REVOKED A PAROLE.
Governor Orders Ja mes Baker, a MUIR
derer, Returned to Prison.

Governor Mount yesterday ordered War
den Harley. of the State Prison. to go to
Alien county and take back TO the prison
James Baker. who was paroled Aug I. The
order was sent by telegraph. Baker was
serving life term for the murder OF Will
liam Howell and had been confined in the
prison since 1ss2. The murder was most
brutal one. and there was a strong pro-
test against the granting of the parole. but
Governor Mount believed Baker to be of
unsound mind His wife owns forty acres
OF land. which is titled by her son. and
they made all kinds OF promises 10 care for
Baker. and have been working for his re-
lease for years. Baker had not been home
two weeks before they attempted TO have
him committed TO the Eastern Hospital for
the Insane. but failed In this. They then
had him sent TO the Allen county poor
farm. and he has been there since. For
that reason the Governor ordered him taken
back TO the prison. Some of the other men
paroled have been negligent about reporting
and In other ways. and II Is highly probable
that they will be ordered back TO the prison.
The Governor reserved 10 himself the right
TO take this action In every parole granted.

ried Ten Days Ago.

Miss Carrie Kiemeyer. daughter Of Will
liam Kiemeyer, was married to John Shaw,
of Chicago, a week ago last Sunday The
wedding, which occurred at the home of the
brides parents, No. 33l South New Jersey

ment. Mr.. Shaw, who was associated with
his brother in the dry goods business on
Virginia avenue for number of years, has
known Miss Kiemeyer from childhood, and
it had been arranged that the wedding
should take place this fall. While on a re-
cent visit to this city Mr.. Shaw learned
that it would be impossible for him to be
here at the right time, and, although
nothing had been prepared for 1T, the we'd
ding ceremony was performed at once. Fol-
lowing the wishes of the young couple MOTH
ing has been said about the affair and Mr..
Shaw returned to Chicago to make prepara-
tons for the reception of his bride. Inas-

THAT AT MERIDIAN STREET Is TO
DE Of STEEL AND CONCRETE.
Seventy-Feet Roadway and Walk, to
be Paved with Asphalt
and Cement.

The plans and specifications of the eight
new bridges the city is TO build will be pre-
sented 10 the Board of Public Works by
the city engineer this week-part of them
to-day and part Friday Three of the new
bridges will be over Fall creek at Meridian
and Illinois streets ard Indiana avenue. two
will be over Pogue's run at Market and Pine
streets, two will be over Pleasant run at
Minnesota and Linden streets and one will
be over White river at Washington street.
The amount received from the sale of bridge
bonds is $4,000, and the bridge fund may be
drawn on for more if necessary. The Board
of Works will advertise for bids imme-
diatey.
The Meridian-street bridge will be of steel
and concrete construction, faced with stone.
The bridge will be of three arches, each
seventy-fve feet long and seventy feet wide.
Forty feet of the bridge will be taken up
with the roadway, and the sidewalks will be
fifteen feet wide. The roadway will be
paved with asphalt and the sidewalks with
cement. The arches will be ten feet at the
rise, and the spring line will be six feet
above the water, making the tops of the
arches sixteen feet above the water. The
estimated cost of this bridge is $4,000
The bridge over White river at Washing
ton street will be more costly than the Me-
rdian-street bridge because 1t will have one
more span. Each of the spans will be one
hundred feet i'm length, and new stone
buttresses will be built. This bridge is now
of three spans and of truss construction.

the present bridge will be used In construct
ing the two bridges over Pleasant run. The
Market-street bridge over Pogues run will
be made of simple ~ beams and the bridge
