ton Company. of Springfield. ILL.,, a de-

gests affection and remembrance. In a

Deputy City Attorney Bell was asked
yesterday afternoon If the franchise TO be
given the interurban companies had been
completed, and he replied that Ii will be
ready to be submitted TO the Beard of
Works in a day or two as soon as the
board agrees on one or two questions. Re-
garding Mr.. Henry's idea to run the cars to
the city limits unless certain concessions
are granted his company, Mr.. Bell said
the city would probably let him stop his
cars at the city. limits. as the concessions
would not be granted. He said the citizens

be observed and an interurban electric
company would not be permitted to come
in here and ignore those rights. The resi-
dents of streets on which these interurban
cars will run would not take kindly to the
idea of seeing the cars fly by without max
ing any stops or refuse to carry local pas
sengers for less than 5 cents.
Mr.. Bell said the transfer system had not
been agreed upon. but the interurban COM
panies which come into Indianapolis will
have TO accept tickets for fares.

MR.. ROTH TO THE FRONT
HE INTERPRETED TO PREVENT THE
ARREST OF A FRIEND.
The Latter Had Been Arrested for
Having No Vehicle
Municipal Affairs.

Chairman ("Croker") Roth, of the Board
of Safety. conducted himself in such a
manner yesterday. as TO cause the other
city officials to even wish for his removal
from the office he holds with the city adj
ministration. Mayor Taggart is out of the
city and the story goes that Roth took
occasion. yesterday, to assume an officious
air and show his authority in such a man.
ner as to have a tendency to demoralize
the police department.
Two Of the patrolmen arrested a man.
said to be in the grocery. business. who
failed to have a license for his delivery
wagon. and as the patrolmen had received
orders TO carry out a strict enforcement of
the vehicle ordinance they were going to
send the man TO the police station. He i'm
mediately summoned his friend, Chairman
Roth, so the story goes, and when that
official arrived, it is said, he berated the
police officers in a very harsh manner for
making the arrest. 1t is said he ordered the
patrolmen to let the man go. which was
done. The patrolmen reported the matter
to police headquarters and a conference
was held in the Office of City Controller
Johnson, acting mayor, in the afternoon.
What transpired at this conference is not
known, but after it adjourned Mr.. Johnson
said the conference referred to the vehicle
licenses, and the story of Roth's action was
told. Acting Mayor Johnson told the police
officers that, hereafter, they must obey the
law and do their duty. This is construed TO
mean that when Chairman Roth. OF the
Board of Safety, endeavors TO intercede
for q law-breaker to prevent his arrest.
the policemen shall do their duty and pay
no attention to Roth.
The city officials who were told of the
matter by those interested were very indig-
nant that a man holding the position Roth
does should try to intercede in behalf of a
friend TO prevent his arrest when he was
violating the law, and. furthermore, berate
the officers who were doing their duty.
One prominent official said that such ac-
tons would demoralize the police depart
ment and there should be a stop put TO IL.
Some time ago Mayor Taggart had occa-
sion to call Mr.. Roth on the green car
pet" for talking too much. and at that
time Ii is said he was told that he must be
more careful of the manner in which he
showed his authority. City officials did not
care to discuss Roth's latest breach of Of
fetal etiquette yesterday. City Controller
Johnson said the owners of vehicles have
had from the first of the year to procure
their licenses and have been notified time
and again TO take them out. He said about
so per cent. of the people owning vehicles
have taken out licenses, and the other 20
per cent. will not be allowed to disregard
the law.
