not seriously hurt, attaches of the Union
Station said At the Indianapolis & Vim
cennes despatcher's Office, at the Union
Station. efforts TO secure information were
unsuccessful. 1t was said that the wires
were down and nothing was known about
the wreck. The man in the office claimed
not to know either where Boyle lived or
how badly he had been injured or where he
had been taken In a word he knew nothing
about the wreck.
Other persons about the Union Station
said that the despatcher's office must have
possessed information about the wreck, be-

WITHHOLDING THE FIGURES.
City Administration Keeping the Es
Inmates from Republican Readers.

The criticism of the extravaganza of the
Taggart administration, which found 1t nee
essary to increase the tax rate 10 cents. has
caused the city controller to be chary in let
ting the public know of the figures OF his
office The Sentinel prints this morning
City Controller Johnson's estimates of the
city's expenditures for next year. This re-
port was TO have been submitted TO the
Council last night, but, there being no
quorum, the meeting was adjourned imme-
diately after the roll was called. Mr.. john
son was apparently not anxious that the
Republican property owners who read the
Journal should see the figures. Last night
the city clerk refused to give the report TO
the Journal, saying that, as il had not yet
been introduced in the Council, IL was stiil
a private document. The German news
papers were not permitted to have the fig
ureS either.
Seven members of the Council gathered
last night, the roll was called and Mr.. COLI
ter, the acting president, declared that,
there being no quorum, the meeting was adj
journed. The members who were present
Clark, McGrew and Smith. The appropTia-
ton ordinance and Controller Johnson's re-
port of the estimates or the city's expenses
next year were ready TO be introduced, but,
there being no quorum, the papers were
again locked up I'm City Clerk Stuckmeyer' s
tin box. The appropriation ordinance pro-
vides for reduction of the tax levy to 80
cents and special levy Of ! cent for the
police pension fund.

WHITES AND BLACKS MIX
THE SCENE OF RACE WARS TRANS
FERRED TO MALOTT AVENUE.
Police Fire Blank Cartridges to Dis
perse the MOb-G. ID. Hamilton
Injured in the Spine.

Another race fght-this time between
men instead of boys-took place last night
in front of a colored dance hall on Malott
avenue, near the observation-disclosures
station, and, although it is known that sew
eral were injured, only one was found 10
be seriously so. Throughout the day yes
terday the police received reports of white
men assaulting negroes in that part of the
city, but as they seemed TO be the fights
of individuals no particular attention was
paid to them at the time. 1t is the opinion
now, however, that these small fights
worked up feeling among all the colored
men in the neighborhood and when the
white men showed a disposition TO be ag-
gressive there was trouble.
Last night there was colored dance held
in the room above John Pooles pool room,
on Malott avenue, and quite number of
colored men congregated around the en-
trance. Several white men, some OF them
with women, were compelled 10 step into
the street to pass, and made disagreeable
remarks. This worked up bad feeling on
men around the front of the hall saw
about fifty white men coming toward them
and OWNED their purpose at once: Both
sides shouted and Swore and then closed In
conflict, with the result that after scrim-
mage of fifteen minutes. the colored men
forced their adverSarieS to run. About this
time the police, being informed of the af-
fair, came up, but, seeing everything quiet,
were about to retire, when the white men
with renewed courage, returned to the fight
not seeing the policemen. Before anything
more could be done, however, the police
men shot three times into the crowd with
blank cartridges and dispersed 1t.
After hostilities had ceased @. b. Hamil-
ton of 1916 Sheldon street, was found 10
have been hit in the spine with large rock,
and he was removed to the City Hospital
for treatment. He bitterly denounced the
negroes, claiming they had attacked the
white men as they passed singly. He
claimed to know nothing of any organized
force of white men, but said that the dance
hall was the resort of negro thugs and was
a menace to the safety of the people of the
neighborhood Not a shot was fired during
the fight except those fired by the police
in dispensing the mob. None of the men
taken into custody for being at the scene
of the fight were shown to have taken any
part in the fight and all were released.
Most of them said they found themselves in
the midst of a bowling mob and were glad
to get out, even under arrest.
The police department looks for more Sc
riouS riots of this sort in the near future,
as, in the opinion of most of the officials,
the failure of the Police Court to convict
the West Indianapolis rioters had bad ef-
feet on the lawless factions In the city.

imprcmptu. without prizes, and there was
no speechmaking, although Candidate Tag

expected that Charles A. BookwaIter would
be present, but late in the afternoon il was
announced that he had gone to Elwood TO
spend the day. General attention was d.
rected to Commodore" Higgins. He grew
tired of the festivities and finding a shady

crowds that came later made his retrea I
