CONGRESS TO BE ASKED
TO AUTHORIZE TIE PAYMENT OF
100000 FOR SQUARE SO.
1t Is Thought the Matter Can Be Dis
posed of QuickIy-Assistant Sec
rotary TayIor's Plans.

The statement that check for $4,000 for
the payment of the indianapolis postoffice
site has been forwarded to this city proves
to have been an error. What was done was
to refer a request on behalf of the govern
ment to the court here to hold up the decree
in the condemnation proceedings until Con-
gress can have an opportunity to authorize
the payment Of the full 5000, 900 involved Ac-
cording to the terms of the bill authorizing
the construction of the building here, only
$3.50, coo is available at the present time. Such
being the case. the secretary of the treas.
ury has decided that he has no authority
even to accept the decree, which would be
in effect entering into a contract binding
the government to pay out 1883 goo, the diff
ference between $4,000 and $609, 900. Con-
gress having made provision for a building
to cost $l,250.000, can easily be prevailed
upon to give specific authorization for the
acceptance of the site and the payment OF
the full amount demanded. This can be
done by joint resolution, which can be intro
duced in the Senate by either Senator Fair
banks or Beverage and in the House by the
Indianapolis member, Mr.. Overstreet. Only
a few days ought to be consumed in secur-
ing the necessary consent of Congress, and
it is the belief at the Treasury Department
that the matter can be closed up before the
holidays. Assistant Secretary Taylor, who
has personal jurisdiction over the office of
the supervising architect, informed the
Journal correspondent yesterday after
noon that the plans for the In
dianapolis building would be drawn
in the department. and the con-
struction would be. under the direct charge
of the supervising architect. Secretary Tay-
lor said that he was strongly in favor OF
using only part Of the site which would be
required, and of so locating the building
that what remained could be sold by the
government. He could see no use in retain
ing permanent possession of more land than
was actually needed. and was OF the opin-
ion that the government would be doing
good thing to reimburse itself in part for
the outlay for land. Until a decision Is
reached upon this point work upon plans
will not be commenced. Mr.. Taylor old not
state when the departments mind would be
made up, but intiTnated that on the general
principle that 1t Is not wise TO count chick
ems before they are Matched, decision might
be reserved until the ground was actually
Congress acts in compliance with the de-
partment's plans and suggestions. and gives
authority for the payment of S0J9,Ooo, there
will be no necessity for haste in disposing or
the old postoffice building. Secretary Tay-
lar thinks the government should get more
than the 100000 offered for the old struc-
ture and the real estate upon which 1t
sale at that figure. He admitted that there
had been no offer of an amount In excess
of 100000. but seems TO have little doubt
that better terms could be secured.

THE SUITS ARE DISMISSED.
A Controversy Involving Some Insur-
ance Policies Is Settled.


In the Circuit Court yesterday the suits
of William A. Buchanan and John Martz
against the Equitable Life Insurance So
ciety of the United States and John F.
Kight were dismissed by agreement. The
plaintiffs are Montgomery county farmers.
They brought suit against the Equitable So
ciety and Right, claiming the latter. who
was the agent of the Equitable, had In
duced them to give up the policies they held
in the State Life Insurance Company and
take out policies in his company They
claimed that Right represented to them
that their policies in the State Company
vent. They assigned their policies in the
State Company to Right, taking in ex-
change policies in the Equitable. They
averred that they paid much higher year
ly premium in the Equitable Society than
in the State Company. 1t was also charged
that Right received from them the balance
of unearned premiums on the policies they
turned over to him from the State Com
pany. They claimed that they afterward
learned that Right misrepresented the
financial condition OF the State Company
to them. and they asked the court 10 set
aside the entire transaction. The plain
their policies in the State Company. and
the Equitable Company pays the costs of
the litigation and pays the plaintiffs $50
in money. The suit brought by Right
against Buchanan and Martz and the State
Company. in which he claimed there was
$50 due him on account of the transfer of
policies was also dismissed.

In those early days I had already pub

consider that that counted. In my view, q
person who published things in a mere
newspaper could not properly claim recog-
milton as literary person; he must rise
away above that; he must appear in mag
azine. He would then be literary person;
also. he would be famous-right away.

THE CHOSEN FRIENDS
ARREST OF THREE OFFICERS IN H.
LIMOS CAUSES NO ALARM HERE.
Supreme Recorder II. Ii. Linn Thinks
the Matter Will Be AmicabIy Adj
justcd-Cause of Trouble.

The arrest of three officers Of Alpha
Council of the Order of Chosen Friends at
Peoria, ILL.,, Friday, charged with being Of
ficers of an illegal fraternal and beneficiary
society, and the threat to arrest other off,
GERS who are transacting business Of the
order in Illinois, is causing no great con-
Germ to the home office of the order. which
is in this city.
The membership in Illinois is extensive,
and large sums have been paid out to in
sured members, and this is the first time
the scope and scheme of the society has
been called into question. Supreme Record
err T. b. Linn thinks the matter will be
easily adjusted when the insurance depart
ment's attention is called to the steps taken
by the order TO conform in every way to the
statutes of Illinois So many people are in
terested in these policies in Illinois that he
does not believeIthe insurance department
will take any decisive step until the I'M
pleasant affair at Peoria is thoroughly in
vestigated. The arrest of II. c. Dimon,
Mrs. Alice Norvell and Mrs. Martha lamp
lin, 1t is understood ahere, resulted from an
intsrnal dissension Involving but a few
members in the Peoria council. 1t is claimed
there was a collection of funds for some
local entertainment and that over the dis
tribution of the money arose dispute, one
party making charges to which the others
retaliated by swearing out warrants against
those arrested.
The fraternity technically violated the
statutes of Illinois, but upon its attention
being called to it action was taken as early
as possible to cure the fault. The order
has been issuing form of certificate which
practically gave member paid-up policy
when his assessments paid aggregated $500.
and there was also another clause in the
bylaws which provided for the adjustment
Of the policy value where member desired
to withdraw. This the Illinois authorities
claimed would exempt the Order of Chosen
Friends from the benefit of the Illinois stat
ute applying 10 fraternal societies. At a
recent session of the Supreme Council held
IN this city a few weeks ago the organiza-
tons bylaws were changed in conformity
with the Illinois and Indiana laws on the
subject, both being the ''Fraternal Congress
will make formal application before the in
surance authorities of Illinois. In order
to comply with the spirit of the Illinois
law the society has been soliciting no new
business in the State since it's attention
was called to the law and will make no
further propaganda until the adjustment is
complete.
In Illinois the order has paid out $3.50. 2e5
and has only received $621 033. In one coun-
ell of Chicago, Crescent, it has paid out
thirty-three claims, amounting to $50 900,
or $3.50 more than was paid in. Most of
the Chicago councils, however, show a ball
ance in favor Of the membership.

TWO BIG DAMAGE SUITS
WHICH RECALL RECENT ACCIDENTS
Al THE GRADE CROSSINGS.
The Death of Bennie Doran and the
Shaffer Family Northumberland
Jury RepOrt-COurt Cases.

In the Superior Court yesterday Henry
6. Doran began an action for damages
against the Lake Erie & Western Railway
Company on account of the killing of his
little son, Bonnie Doran, on Sept 70 last.
The child, who was nine years of age, was
on his way home from school when the
accident happened. He was run down by an
engine and cut of freight cars near the
Intersection OF Lewis and Twentieth streets
with the railroad The engine was backing
the cars and, it is charged, they were run
ming at the rate of fifteen miles an hour
which was in violation OF an ordinance
regulating the speed of trains 1t is also
claimed that the engine was not properly
equipped to connect with the air-brakes.
The charge is made that had the proper
equipment been attached and the speed of
the train been less the accident might have
been prevented. The plaintiff is demanding
$4,000 damages.
A suit growing out of a tragic happening
at Delaware street and the Union tracks
last summer was brought yesterday by Mrs.
Lucretia K. Stephens. She is suing the c.,
H. & l.. the c.. II. & d. and the Indian
apolis Union Railway companies for S25.-
900 damages. The accident in which the
plaintiff was injured happened on the night
OF June Y last. She was driving with her
husband, Samuel Stephens, her little grand
child, Hazel Shaffer, and daughter. In
crossing the tracks at Delaware street, the
vehicle in which they were riding was
struck by train. Hazel Shaffer was killed
and the others were -all injured. Mrs.
stephens was thrown on the pilot of the
locomotive and carried nearly square. She
says she was permanently injured. She suf-
fered injuries to her spine, she says, and
her skull was fractured. 1t is charged that
the train which struck plaintiffs vehicle
was behind time and was running thirty
five miles or more an hour. The plaintiff
says the safety-gates were open when they
started across the track and that the men
in the switchhouse gave no warning of
the approach of the train.
