beside which the little ones would live more
healthful lives on account of using pure
food. The secretary of the board SAYS that

whom he has discussed the idea look upon
II with favor. Parents with children need
Ing cows milk could secure 1t at the labo-

would know that 1t was not only pure but

Senator and Representative.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
LAPORTE, Ind, Feb. 23.-The citizens
committee to-day called an indignation
meeting for Saturday afternoon of the tax
payers of Laporte county for the purpose of
adopting resolutions demanding the resigna-
tons of Senator Uriah Culbert and Repre-
sentative Henry Schaal and the repeal by
the Legislature of the bill creating the
Laporte-Porter-Lake Superior Court. The
feeling in Laporte county outside of Mich
igan township is most intense against the
Legislature for having passed the Superior
Court bill over the veto of Governor Mount,
and on every hand are heard expressions of
Indignation. The most prominent Repub-
icans of the county as well as the Demo-
Gratis are condemning the action Of the
House and Senate, and the Herald, the lead
ing Republican paper in Laporte county,
and one of the most influential in the north
ern part Of the State, this evening appeared
with a double-leaded editorial demanding
that the Superior Court be thrown out of
Laporte county, and that the schemers who
have foisted this Infamous measure on the
taxpayers Of the county be downed, no
matter 10 what political party they belong. >"
Governor Mounts prompt and emphatic
veto OF the bill is being commended by Re
pubhcanS and Democrats.

The Indiana State Association OF Master
Plumbers met yesterday at the Indianapolis
Associations Exchange. on East Court
street. About thirty delegates from other
cities of the State were present. The prin-
cipal business was to elect officers for the
ensuing year, which was done, as follows:
President-George F. Kirkhoff, Indian
apolis.
Vice Presidential. A. Westbury, South
Bend.
Secretary-Herman A. Golf, Indianapolis.
Treasurcr-Charles ~Anaeshansel, Indian
apolis.
Executive Committee-W J.. Freaney,
James M. Haley and j. S. Farrell, ndian
apolis.
The members of the association discussed
the bill in the Legislature providing for a
state board, to serve without compensation,
to issue licenses to master and journeyman
plumbers. 1t was agreed that there was
little hope of getting the bill passed this
session. They felt that it should not be
looked on as other state boards that have
been considered, because a reform in plumb
ing is a part of sanitary progress. If the
bill fails this session, it was unanimously
determined, the members of the association
will bend all effort toward making it sue
ceSSful two years hence.

POLICE PENSION BILL.
Obnoxious Features Now Said to he
Remedfed.

Chairman Hugg. of the Senate committee
on affairs of the city of indianapolis, last
night announced that the committee had
amended the Indianapolis police pension bill
SO as to do away with all objections which
have been urged against it by either the
Governor or interested citizens. He ex-
planned that when the bill was drafted it
had not been the intention to have it pro-
vide for a pension for a public servant who
might be killed unless 1t was in the line of
duty. and the Objectionable clause crept in
without any one noticing its vicious effect.
AS soon as the matter had been called to
the attention of the committee the bill was
at once altered. Since then the bill has
been submitted to the Governor and it now
meets his approval.
