ses with less than a 4-cent fare said he,
"a provision for such a fare ought TO be
made. | believe in dealing fairly with a
street-car corporation as well as any 9TH
erS. If 1t is practicable for the street-car
people to operate with a 2-cent fare, that
IS what the city ought to require, but If it
Is necessary for them TO charge a Accent
fare in order to give q good service and
make fair dividends on their investment,
that is what the city ought to permit"
Other councilmen who have discussed the
vote or no confidence in the administra-
ton insist that the present city officials are
amply able to protect the city's interests
and to get the best terms II might expect to
receive as well as any other, regardless Of
poIltlcal complexion. Mayor IaggaTt was
tending the funeral Of his brother-in-law,
and what he had to think Of the proposition
that the settlement of the street-car ques-

far as to assert that If Mr.. Smith is not
nominated and Mr.. Parry shall be so fortu-
nate as to be nominated and elected Mr..
Smith IS to be his president of the Board
OF Public Works, and that between them
they propose to settle the street-car Ques-
ton. d. M. Parry seemed to be amused
when this idea was presented TO him by a
Journal reporter last night, asserting that
there is not a particle of truth in 1t and
that he is not nor would not be q candi-
date for mayor if he lived a thousand
years" He also said that the idea that If
he were elected mayor he would make Mr..
Smith the president of the Board Of Works
was AL bosh." The whole purpose Of the
clause In the resolutions adopted by the G.
F.. Smith committee, said Mr.. Parry, was
to leave to a vote of the citizens of Indian
apolis whether they wanted a three-cent
street-car fare.
A number Of members Of the c. F. Smith
met at the Commercial Club at
noon yesterday. Evans WCollen, ordinarily
secretary eX Officio Of club committees, was
not made secretary of this committee, but
Alfred T.. Potts was appointed in that ca
pacity.
A mass meeting was called for Monday
night in Plymouth Church. and a subcom-
mittee was directed to request the Indian
apolis representatives in the General AS
sembly to postpone final action on the
amended street-car bill until after that oc-
casion. The committee was unable to Sc

DRAGGING INro POLITICS.
Claim Made in Connection with the

Claim Made in Connection with the
street-Car situation.
Regret has been expressed by many peo-
pie that politics should be dragged into the
settlement of the street-car situation,
which, it is claimed, was done by the COM
mittee named by Charles F. Smith, at a
meeting of the Commercial Club a few
nights ago. At a meeting of this committee,
on Friday, a resolution was adopted urging
that nothing should be done toward a settle
ment of the street-car controversy until
Jan. /, following the next city election. BY
many members Of the administration this
was regarded as a vote of mo confidence
in the present Council. Board Of Works and
mayor, who must pass upon any contract

bers Of the Council were rather indignant
at the imputation that they were not COM
petent to deal with the street-car question.
Some of them. like James H. Costello, chair
man Of the finance committee, were not
slow in saying that they regarded the reso-
luton as an open charge that the present
body is not competent to deal with the stu
alton. DIR. Moffett, chairman Of another
committee, characterized the resolution as
bumptious, -presumptuous and dictatorial."
John r. Allen, the senior Republican mem
Der of the Council. while being opposed to
4 thirty-four years franchise, said that

now entertains toward the proposition of

There has been a claim advanced that the
workingmen would not have the advantage
of Accent FAIRS, as they could not afford to
pay out 81 at a time for tickets. To offset
this argument it is advanced that grocery
men, druggists and others dealing with the
~workingmen will find it to their advantage
to keep tickets on sale, Just as many places
now do postage stamps. While there is no
will that is in itself advantageous; besides,
it is said that the stores might make a
slight profit by buying tickets at twenty
five for 81 and selling six for % cents to
those who want them in small quantities..
