SEARCH FOR A QUORUM
WILL BE CONTINUED BY MEMBERS
OF THE COUNCIL.
The Estimates and Mayors Recon-
mendations Not Turned Over
Municipal Affairs.

1t was Sis O'Clock last night when Vice
President Megrew called the Council TO
order and after the notice of the special
meeting was read the roll call showed but
seven members present. Mr.. Megrew then
announced that there would be no meeting,
as there was not a quorum present.
The principal business to have come be-
fore the Council had there been quorum
was the receiving of the estimates and
recommendations from the city controller
and Mayor Tageart for the appropriations
of the various city departments for 1901.
Mr.. Williams, the mayors secretary, was
at the meeting with the estimates. but did
not refer them to the Council. The esti-
mates are substantially the same as have
been published and the recommendations
show that 73-cent levy will be required
to defray the expenses of the city for 1901.
This includes the one cent each for the
police and firemen's pension funds.
Mayor Taggart sent communication
with the estimates setting out the need
of improvements in the police and fire de-
partments and also Improvements at the
City Hospital He recommended that i'm
provements be made by an authorized bond
issue, the bonds to become due in a few
years.
There was talk last night of a meeting
of the Council being called for tonight,
but should this be done ii is hardly prob
able that a quorum will be present.

FIRE HOUSES VISITED.
The Council Committee Makes a Tour
of Inspection.

The committee. composed of Council
ley. Keller. Negley, Spiegel, Kelly and
knight, appointed upon Negleys resolution
to look into the needs of the fire depart
ment with view of making the improve
ments suggested to the Council many
weeks ago, started out yesterday afternoon
on a tour of inspection.
The inspection had little bearing on the
improvements contemplated except in the
matter of the fire alarm system, the work.
ing of which and the cause of the failure
of the present system to work were ex-
planned to the committee at headquarters
where most of the time yesterday after
noon was spent. In carriages the commit
tee drove to a number of the stations and
looked over the buildings and the equip
ment. all of which seemed to meet their
approval, though it was many times Sug-
gested that little paint and plaster would
considerably improve the conditions in
some of the houses. From the appearance
OF the substations it was easily seen the
visit of the committee had been previously
announced, for in each of the stations
visited the floors had been recently cleaned
and the boxes used for cuspidors had been
filled with clean sawdust.
The committee members had little to say,
except TO ask questions, and another tour
of inspection will begin Thursday after
noon, after which the report to the Council
will be made with the recommendations.
The Council committee was accompanied
by Chief Barrett, of the fire department,
Lineman Holderman, and four of the In
dianapolis fire insurance board. They were

UNION LABOR OUTLOOK
PRESIDENT JOHN MITCHELL SAYS
THE HORIZON Is BRIGHT.
A Remarkable Increase i'm the Fed
Grafton of Labor Membership
"A Meeting To-day.

President John Mitchell. of the United
Mine Workers and fourth vice president of
the American Federation of Labor. re-
turned from Ohio yesterday. where he
made a Labor day speech. He is highly
pleased with the general celebration of
Labor day throughout the country. and
says that more laboring men turned out
to observe their national holiday than at
any time I'm the history OF the country.
This unusually large manifestation of the
industrial classes he attributes to organ
lied labor.
Generally throughout the country cele-
brations were under the direction of labor
unions instead of municipalities, secret or
ders other organizations. This clearly
indicates the rapidly increasing strength
of the organized labor movement. President
Mitchell says, and the prominence given To
organized bodies is showing Of respect
and courtesy not heretofore extended.
President Mitchell says that the last year
has been remarkable one for organized
labor. The membership of the American
Federation of Labor has been increased by
100000 TO 100000 men who earn their bread
at artisan work and manual labor.
This remarkable increase President
Mitchell said, ''can be attributed TO many
causes. Laboring men have shown "A more
favorable disposition toward joining
unions, and the work OF labor organizers
has been more aggressive. in order that
the fertile field might be thoroughly
worked. But the prime factor, 1 believe,
has been the agitation of the union label
movement. All over the country there is
and merchants are beginning to appreciate
the fact that to retain their customers
there must be labeled goods i'm stock.
Factory owners have also found that
union goods are more marketable than un-
labeled goods, and not infrequenty the
proprietors have been led to ask their
employees to organize. The Women's Label
League promises to be great factor in
promoting labor unions, and 1t has done
much already. In our organization We
have an auxiliary composed of wives and
daughters of miners. who have done much
towards forcing union labeled goods upon
the market, thereby assisting in the forma-
ton of other labor organizations.
"Unionism is just now beginning to as
sert itself and 1 think there is bright
future for organized labor. The benefits
it has accomplished for the laboring man
cannot be calculated. In our organization
| ii has not only increased wages but has
| done away with other evils equally as
| scrip payment and the company store
| has been done away with, until now a
miner can get as much for his money in a
company store and be treated as well in
| every respect as any place else he might
choose to trade. Yes, the last year has
marked great changes"

by remonstrance which the board over
ruled on the ground that half of the prop

filed with three new names attached, but

Smith yesterday to enjoin him from plac-
ing The assessment of the indianapolis
News made by the State Tax Board at its
last session upon the tax duplicates and
filing 1t with the county treasurer for col
lection. 1t is set out in the complaint that
the regular assessment was made by the
township assessor and that. no objections
were filed with the County Board of Re-
view. After the county board adjourned
ii is alleged that j. Frank McCray filed an
appeal to the State Tax Board, and the
tax board raised the assessment to 1854, 727.
1t is asserted that the original assessment,
s45 275, is the real valuation of the property,
and that the increased amount is based up
on the good will of the business. 1t is said
that the plant is a tool, and the success
of the business depends upon the efficiency
of it's employees. For these reasons it is
alleged that the action is illegal, and tenn
porary INDUCTION is asked until final hear
ing. and then that permanent injunction
against assessing the good will of the pa
per be enforced.

THE COUNTY COUNCIL.
Estimates for Next Years EXPENSE
to he Considered.

The County Council began Its regular
annual session in the County Commissions
ers' room at the courthouse yesterday.
Estimates for the coming years expenses
were submitted. but the board did nothing
more than organize and complete arrange
ments for considering the figures OF the
various county officials. The county has
now had one year under the new law.
which provides that ali expenses shall be
provided for by appropriation OF the
Council. On account OF the new custom
and the inability to make accurate esti-
mates. some ran short while others ex-
ceeded the amount needed. This year the
estimates are thought To be more accurate.
as the amount every county officer and
institution needs is based upon the appro-
priation made last year and the shortage
or surplus that resulted from the amount
appropriated. No summary has been made
of the amount asked TO carry the county
through for the year, all the figures be-
ing tabulated I'm itemized statements by
each county official. The board took no
action on any OF these except one OF two
minor appropriations for road improve
meutS.

Says He Was Badly Used.

Suit was brought against Henry Hartman
by John Egelhoff yesterday. He demands
$1,000 for damages alleged to have been done
him by false Imprisonment and assault and

saulted by Hartman, who afterward called
the police and had him arrested. He says
that he was imprisoned for a half hour
upon a false accusation which, with the as
sault alleged to have been committed upon
him, has been much to his detriment.

ing to be made preferred creditors i'm the
distribution of assets. The bank held three
notes against the company for s5,546, in lieu
of shares equivalent to that amount taken
as collateral security for loans made to
stockholders When the association was
thrown into the hands of a receiver it was
shown that $4,000 had been paid out in
dividends while there were no profits, 800
of which went to the bank Since there
have been no profits for making a possible
legal dividend, the receiver held that the
amount paid out should be taken as reim-

when they took out their shares. The bank
asks that the full amount Of its claim be
granted.
