MEGREW NOW AT HOME
WILL CALL A MEETING OF THE
FINANCE COMMITTEE TONIGHT.
The sI5O,OO0 Fond Ordinance viii Be
kiIIed-Mayor Taggart's
Invitation.

Harold C. Megrew, chairman Of the
finance committee of the City Council, re-
turned home from New York Saturday
night, and yesterday he announced that he
will call a meeting Of the finance COM
mittee for this evening. prior to the Coun-
Gil session, to take action on the ordinance
now in the hands of the committee provd-
ing for a bond issue of $4,000 for the inn
provement of the fire department, City
Hospital and market house. Mr.. Megrew
said last night the story as published in
the Journal on Saturday morning concern
ing the probable action of the Council on
the ordinance was correct. The plans
for its defeat had been carried out while
he was out of the city. but he was cogni-
zant of the secret caucuses held for that
purpose and was in perfect sympathy with
the Republican members of the Council
who were opposed to the ordinance.
At the meeting of the finance committee
this evening the Republican members will
submit a report unfavorable TO the ordi-
nance n the two Democratic members,
McGrew and Dickson, will be asked to
sign il. 1t is hardly probable that the two
Democratic members will consent to this
and they will make a minority report fa-
voring the passage of the ordinance. City
Controller johnson says if the ordinance
is killed and the Republicans are in favor
Of passing an ordinance 'appropriating
funds for the improvement of the City
Hospital he will recommend such an ordi-
nance. The city officials are greatly exer-
cised over the report that the ordinance
will be killed in the Council. and it is said
tina special strings have been at work on
several of the Republican members to per-
suade them TO vote with the Democrats.
The members of the finance committee re-
oeived an invitation TO dinner with Mayor
Taggart at the Grand Hotel to-day, but 1t
is known that some of them sent their re-
grets.
At the Council meeting tonight the
committee on public property and improve
ments will make an unfavorable report on
the gas-meter ordinance, and the commit
tee on sewers. streets and alleys will report
on the ratification of the contract made by
Charles ~Stuckmeyer. of the Indianapolis
Clean-street Company, with the Board OF
Works for a twenty years franchise to
maintain waste paper boxes in the city.
The report may be favorable. with a rec
cmmendation that the term of years be re-
dGced.

THE POLITE BOY
Turns Out to BE n Practical Joker
and II Turned Loose.

Chester White. the polite little vagrant
who won a nights lodging from the Of
fcers at the police Nation Saturday by his
POLISHED manners, and was a promising
protege of Bicycle Policeman Schroeder,
was just as interesting a subject when he
awoke yesterday morning, but in another
direction. The officers were enthusiastic
over the lad, n many were already en-
PERTAINING visions of a self-made
bootblack rising 60 the presidency of a
railroad, for instance. Captain Dawson
said he was a typical country boy" and
Schroeder intended to take him home.
While these optimistic opinions were
floating around the station Yesterday
morning the boy walked into the door of
the barn, sat down in a chair, carelessly
pulled out a pipe and crammed it full of
tobacco. Then ne put a pinch OF Come sort
of chemical he carries in a bottle into the
he began to puff volumes of smoke toward
the ceiling. The bicycle men looked on in
establishment, while the lad began to re-
cite the glory of the joke accomplished by
dropping a little of the chemical into a
glass of beer when you step vi to the
Lar IN a saloon to take a drink with a
friend. He said he had seen the trick
played a number of times, and offered the
officers a little to try II. This changed
matters entirely, and the boy was let go
without advice and Schroeder reversed his
mind deciding that the lad was capable Of
making his own way
