POOLROOM CLOSED.
Police Invade the Place Operated by

Superintendent Quigley gave orders yes
terday for the closing of the poolroom in
the rear of Irons saloon. on North Illi-

on all the races in the country has been
INDUCED in without molestation by the po-
lice. The place has been under the man
agement Of Mike Tcomey and 1t is said
TO have been immensely profitable to its
owners. The end came yesterday. when
Captain Dawson and Sergeant Laporte en-
tered the place. at 2:30 o'clock, and notified
Toomey that he must close at once and for
good. A large number of patrons were there
and manifested no uneasiness over the
presence of the policemen. Toomey asked
for sufficient time 10 wind up the current
days business and ran off, another race

iously issued on It,
When asked why he had closed up Irons
place, Superintendent Quigley said he had
decided that all such things had "got TO
stop and he thought he had waited long
enough before taking the step. He said
that hereafter gambling will not go in In
danapolis." and the only reason other
places were not shut up was that he did
not know of any besides Irons.

Attorney LaFollette.
No, SIR. answered the witness and Mr.
LaFollette looked puzzled
There was hurried consultation between
Mr.. LaFollette, Mr.. Boyd and Revenue
Collector Boone. and then 1t was found
that the witnesses in an entirely different
case had been brought in. None OF them
was intended to appear In the case against
Tullis, but all were intended TO appear in
q case In which the defendant had not vet
been arrested. Mr.. Boyd did not know
the difference, as the papers were given TO
him in a bunch TO serve, so the Use was
postponed until the proper witnesses for
Tullis or the proper defendant for the wit
nesses could be secured. Tullis was sent

FEDERAL COURT ATNIGHT
SESSION HELD TO HEAR AN ARGU-
MENT BY THOMAS G. sHEARMAN.
Old Bondholders Before l.. f. & st. l..
Consolidation Inferesteo-'
shearman on single Tax.

Judge Baker held a night session OF the
United States court last evening 10 near the
arguments on the masters finding on the
intervening petition of Kimball Loring and
others In the suit against the LOUISVILLE
Evansville & St. Louis Consolidated road
The petitioners represent the holders Oh the
100000 worth of bonds of the Huntinsours'
Tell City & Cannelton road, which was IN
Guided in the first formation OF the LOUIS
vile. Evansville & ST. Louis. The original
organization provided for the issue Oh ponds
to cover the Indebtedness of all roads taken
into the consolidation and these bonds were
secured by a mortgage on the entire system
The bondholders of the branch named dlo
not exchange their bonds for those or the
consolidated road and now the reorganlza-
ton committee does not desire the division.
These bondholders brought suit to require
the reorganized road to exchange their
bonds for those of the entire system, but the
master to whom the case was referred found
against them. The suit was brought by the
original consolidated road and Floyd Woods
represented the bondholders and filed excep-
tons to the masters report. The reorgan-
ization committee was represented by
Thomas q. Sherman, of New York. The
night session was held TO accommodate him,
as he desired to return to New York this
morning. Mr.. Woods submitted the case on
a brief so as to give Mr.. Sherman the time
for oral argument.
Mr.. Sherman contended that for five
years after the agreement was made where
by these bondholders could exchange their
bonds for those Of the original consolidation
they did not do so. but drew their interest
semi-annually on the original issue of bonds
and thus practically made ten reflections of
the proposition. He further contended that
the suit which is now pending and which
was brought by these same bondholders to
foreclose their mortgage. constituted an
other rejection, which makes eleven rejec-
tons In all. He would not concede that
proposition had been made for the exchange
of bonds of the new company for the old,
and said that had II been intended that
direct proposition was intended, the agree
ment would have contained a clause provid-
ing that IL one bond was presented for ex-
change. all should be. and such a clause
was not found in the agreement. He further
commended that lapse of time prevented
them from bringing such an action now. Mr..
Sherman submitted a brief with many
citations after he had concluded his argu-
ment.

UNNECESSARILY ALARMED.
Street Cleaner Sends Volume OF
Smoke Into the Park.

With suddenness that was appalling
the hundreds of people who were gathered
In the Park Theater last night to spend an
evening OF enjoyment made maddened
rush for exits while rollicking love scene
was in full blast upon the stage. The
stampede for the street was caused by an
unwarranted fear that the theater was on
fire.
The excitement came in the second act
and occurred so quickly that the house at
taches were dumfounded for an instant
While pretty love song was being sung
noisy street cleaner, pouring out dense
volumes of black, unbearable smoke passed
on Washington street. AS the song was
concluded the wind suddenly waited the
smoke into the theater, and when ii was
inhaled by the large crowd present the peo-
pie rose In their seats in an instant and
the stampede for the exits was made. The
first person to cause the rush for the door
was small man sitting near the front row
of the balcony. With the first breath Of
the smoke he jumped from his seat and
started in a mad frenzy for the balcony
door. in an instant the entire crowd in
the balcony followed him. Then the people
down stairs were frightened. and in the
rush to get to the outside world majority
of the crowd acted as il mad.
No one was foolish enough 10 give the
alarm of fire, but that was not necessary

the audience in a few seconds time. In

swooned away before they could get from
their seats 10 the aisles. and their escorts
were compelled 10 place them back In their
seats. This was far better for them than
TO be crowded into the throng which was
rushing toward the door. All of this hap
pened within few seconds. But for the
promptness of the attaches OF the house
and Manager Fred Dickson. together with
Sergeant Hyland and three or four patrol
men, serious accidents might have occurred.
Manager Dickson promptly ordered his men

ward quieting the audience, and the orches-

SINGLE TAX MOVEMENT.
No Recognized Leader Since Henry
Georges Death.

Thomas G.. Sherman. OF New York, who
argued a case in the United States Court
last evening. is one OF the foremost of New
York's attorneys and Is one Of the most
prominent advocates OF the single-tax
theory now in the country. Mr.. Sherman
was warm friend of Henry Ward Beecher,
and it was he who defended Mr.. Beecher in
his famous trial. Speaking of the single-tax
movement, Mr.. Sherman said:
"Snce the death Of Mr.. George there has
been no recognized leader of the movement,
nor is there any central organization, but
believe it is gaining strength. Mr.. Fill
brown, of Boston, is one of the most active
men, and while his meetings are not large,
he gathers together the most intelligent
class Of people, and the idea is spreading
rapidly in Massachusetts, because so many
Of the most intelligent people are adopting
1t. 1t was not the intention of Tom L.
Johnson to close out all his business inter-
ests and devote all his time to the promul-
cation of the single-tax idea, as was re-
ported. 1t is true, he is giving much of his
time and attention to 1t, but II is in connec-
ton with his business or where he may be
located Last winer he secured the passage
OF bill by the Senate of Michigan provid-
ing that all municipalities which desired to
adopt the single-tax idea might do so. The
bill was about ready to pass the House when
some of the farmers became alarmed and
defeated it. Mr.. Johnson was at that time
interested in the s.reet-railroad systems of
Detroit and worked for the sngle-tax idea
while there on business. By working wher-
ever he may be he can be more useful than
in any other way.
Henry George. jr., is working on a BIZ
ography OF his father, and is not giving
his time 10 single tax. There will probably
not be such another movement for many
years as was made by Mr.. George some
ten or twelve years ago. l believe the
movement is gaining strength throughout
the country"
Mr.. Sherman is a great admirer of Henry
like him in the history OF this country"
he said, ''as he occupied a peculiar posi-
ton. He was man OF massive intellect,
and made deep impression on all who
came near him. and yet he was SO kindly
felt Ill at ease with him. He was straight
forward and manly and of high moral char
acter. i have noticed that since his death
no man has arisen to fill his place. When
great public question comes up there Is
now no man to whom everybody will listen
and whose views everybody desires as they
did Beecher's. Even his enemies wanted to
know what he thought and what he would
say. Every other man in our history has
had large measure of his prominence
from an official position he occupied. Had
jefferson advocated the principles he did
and never been President he would have
made but little impression on the history OF
political life and President, 1t is doubtful
IL he would have made an impression on his
tory. Mr.. Beecher never held an ONCE and
never was in public life more than his own
remarkable man and occupied a place by
himself In our history"
