day morning between Mayor Taggart and

duitt and II. c. Adams, representing the new
Indianapolis Creosote Company. in regard to
the contracts recently awarded the COM

The four men, who in reality comprise the
new creosote concern, emphatically denied
the charges brought against the company
by Clarence A. Kenyon. They declared that
while they have no creosoting plant in work.
ing order at the present time, they will be
manufacturing creosote within six weeks
time, and will be in a position to fulfill their
paving contracts with the city without fail

be completed by Sept /, the time set by

He stated that the new plant would be a

paving companies, and that IL would be
erected at cost of about 900.
AT its meeting this morning the Board
OF Works will decide whether the new COM
pany is competent to carry out the contracts

SEARCHED THE TABERNACLE.
The Police Thought Perhaps Robbers
Were Inside.

Late Monday night two night policemen
On North Meridian street discovered that
the Tabernacle Church was lighted up and
the front door open. Upon further investi-
cation they found a dog standing under one
of the windows of the church. The police
men scented a robbery and telephoned TO
the police station for assistance. Sergeant
Corrigan soon arrived with squad OF pa
troImen. and the church was surrounded.
The sergeant. accompanied by two OF the
officers, made a tour of the building from
top to bottom but could find no burglar or
any traces of one. The police think that
either the janitor of the church had an at
tack of observation-disclosures in regard to his
duties or that the midnight marauder, If
there was one, was frightened away before
carrying out the purpose OF his entrance
into the church.
