CIVILIZED

Ii is an interesting coincidence that at a
moment when tie civilized world is startled
by a violent md murderous uprising of
Chinese againstforeigners a dispatch from
a town in Califrnia announces that "two
hundred minersand smelter employees last
night drove twnty-one Japanese railroad
workers out of own The Japanese were
not miners or shelters, and were not in
terfering with tlat class of workers. They
were simply foreigners. Outbreaks against
foreigners are MT a novelty in this coun-
try. The old Enow Nothing party was
based partly on that idea and partly on
the narrower one ef religious hostility. The
Chinese have been ostracised and perse-
cuted in this country ever since they first
began To cme here, and are now excluded
by law. III California they are taxed for
. public schol purposes while the schools
are not opa to their children. An anti
Chinese riot occurred in Denver, Colorado,

INEZ CRAVENS'S DEATH
ANDERSON YOUNG WOMAN DIES AT
THE CITY HOSPITAL
sensational Charges Made by the
Friends of the Girl-State-
ment of the Physicians.

The newspapers and dispatches from An
derson last night told of the death of Miss
Inez Crayens, whose parents live in that
city. on an operating table at the City
Hospital here. Charges of awful cruelty
and neglect are made against the hospital
surgeons. The father after being advised
of the girls death came here and il was
claimed found the body uncared for lying
on a table in the basement with large
gashes. the presence of which were unex-
planned by the hospital physicians.
Relative to the Anderson story, DIR.
Poucher, superintendent of the City Hospi-
tai, said last night the charges made were
without foundation. The girl he said came
TO the hospital from 32l East Market street,
being transferred by DIR. Virgins In the
Dispensary ambulance. She was afflicted
with a disease which had taken a violent
form. She was taken into the surgery for
treatment and died about four hours after
admittance to the hospital. An incision
was made into the abdomen after death
for the purpose of determining the exact
| cause of death. but the cut was only about
three inches long and just through the skin
and muscles of the abdomen walls.
DR.. Poucher said the girl had been

advised as to her being taken to the hos
pital. She was in a critical condition when
taken into the hospital. and when yet con-
scious told DIR. Poucher of having taken
one and one-half grains of morphine and
twenty grains of acetanilide, which had
been prescribed by the doctor, and is a
common remedy for the reduction of fever.
1t was thought that the drugs had been
administered with indiscretion by the at
PENDANTS upon the girl while at her room
ing place.
With reference to a deep cut oil the

relatives. The cut, DR.. Poucher said. was
only a small one. DR. PoGcher also said
that after death and the preparation OF
the body ii was taken TO the morgue in
the basement, where il was wrapped, as
is customary, i'm a winding sheet, which
was about it when viewed by the father,
instead of nude, as claimed by him.
The father, it is said, made no complaint
whatever regarding the manner i'm which
the girl had been treated and cared for
and there was not the slightest sugges-
ton of dissatisfaction. An undertaken

CITY OFFICIALS PLEASED.


PntCn W
City Controller Johnson is greatly pleased
| with the decision of the Supreme Court in
the school bond case. He said last night
he had been expecting such a decision. but
1t was gratifying nevertheless. As a result
of the decision the city is saved great en-
barrassment. II is now possible for the
City Council to pass the ordinance recently
introduced providing for a bond issue Of
sl50,0o0 TO improve the fire department, City
| Hospital and market house. Mr.. Johnson
further says it will now be possible TO
make a temporary loan of about $4,000.
to pay the city's expenses until the fall
| revenues come in. OF this amount $40. 900
will be borrowed about Aug. /, to be paid
in sixty or seventy days. and the other
$40, 600 due in forty or fifty days. Mr.. John
son says the School Board can do nothing
towards selling it's bonds until a reply is
received from the letter sent to Rudolph,
klybolte & Co., of Cincinnati, regarding
the purchase of the 800. 900 refunding
pany yesterday.
Mayor Taggart is also pleased with the
decision of the Supreme Court. Il have
been confident all along" said he last night,
that the Supreme Court would render
such a decision as it has, for the question
of the school city and civil city being
separate in regard to their respective in
debtedness was apparent to me. 1 did not
expect the Supreme Court to render any
other decision than the one handed down.
1t is now possible for the city to make
needed improvements in the fire depart
ment, City Hospital and market house,
for which an ordinance was introduced in
the City Council not long since
Councilman Megrew, chairman of the
committee on finance of the City Council,
was asked last night how soon the commit
tee would take up the ordinance providing
for a bond issue of $50 600. He replied
that the committee will meet within a few
days tc consider the ordinance. but il is
probable, he said, that the ordinance will
be returned to the Council to be changed
before Ii is reported upon. The ordinance
was repar by clippings from the bridge
bond ordinance and was not sufficiently
revised before being presented to the
Council. Mr.. Megrew says he does not be-
lieve the committee has the power to make
the changes in the ordinance and will
therefore ask that ii be properly prepared
before action is taken upon it. 1t is very
probable that 1t will be amended by the
committee, as part of the members believe
the amount asked for is too large.

III GAS QUESTION.

The new agitation of the natural gas
question comes at a time when residents
of this city can consider the question in
all its bearings and make timely prepa-
rations for next winter. The decision of
the Supreme Court that no company may
pump gas out of it's wells because the pro-
cess tends TO exhaust a common supply
to which all companies are equally en-
titled will, if sustained. seriously cripple
the indianapolis companies. If the latter
have TO depend On the normal flow
from their wells without being allowed
supply local consumers will fare worse
than ever. But the decision of the Supreme
Court seems lame in that 1T assumes as
d premise a theory of gas production and
supply which may or may not be correct.
The courts cannot take judicial knowledge
Of facts concerning which no court and
not even any expert has definite informa-
ton. In this respect the decision of the
court rests largely on guess work. 1t
seems further lame in that ii denies one
VI COMPANIES a liShN" hiN "a CQeohy
open to all. Even admitting that no COM
pany should be permitted TO have a mo-
nopoly of pumping, it does not follow that
any company may not exercise a privilege
that is open to all. No court would hold
that. any company might not sink as many
wells and pump as much water as it
pleased from it's own land. If water, why
not gas? TIL question is too important
to rest on the decision of any but the high
est court in the land.
The proposition of the companies to intro
duce meters as a means of conserving the
gas supply probably comes too late to be
of much use. If it had been done at first,
and not only in this city but IN all others
drawing on the gas field no doubt it would
nave added materially to the duration of
the supply. But the mischief is done.
There has been reckless, criminal and ir-
reparable waste, and to introduce meters
now is a good deal like locking the barn
door after the horse is stolen. Neverthe-
less ii might do some good. and Is worth
considering.

The State Department has received a
copy of a report of trade conditions made
by the British consul at Manila, in which
he reports great improvements in the city
and predicts that under American govern
ment and enterprise Manila may become
a great commercial power in these waters
before the first quarter of the century is
passed" The consul does not discuss the
political outlook further than saying that
Law and order are being restored as
rapidly as possible and that "the natives,
I believe, would willingly return to their
agricultural pursuits, but the influence of
their leaders appears sufficiently strong to
keep them from surrendering." He might
have added that the leaders receive much
encouragement from disloyal Americans.

Judge Baker filed a concurring opinion.

the civil city of Indianapolis are separate
corporations, and that the debts Of one
should not be counted in determining
whether the other is indebted TO the con-

CASTOR to say, however, that the present
decision is not in line with the majority
opinion in the case of Wilcoxon VS.. City of
Bluffton. 153 Ind. 261. His apparent object
was to show that the rule declared in that
case was wrong. as he urged at the time
in a dissenting opinion.

1t is one of the misfortunes of politics
that presidential campaigns unsettle bust
ness, and this is particularly the case when
one of the opposing candidates represents
dangerous principles. If some fidelity and
trust company dealing in futures would
guarantee the election of Mckinley and
Roosevelt next fall the American people
would begin right now to enlarge business,
engage in new enterprises, construct new
factories and mills, open new mines and
furnaces and build more railroads with the
certainty that the investments would pay.
Every farmer, every laborer, every me-
chanic. every factory hand and mill hand.
every wage Garner of whatever kind would
feel that such a guarantee meant for him
continued prosperity. employment and good
wages. But that feeling will not prevail
as long as there is even a remote possibility
of the election of William Jennings Bryan.

with the Democratic platform adopted in
Illinois that he would be willing to have it
taken as a model for the national platform.

question or the ratio. Such a reafirmation
OF the Chicago platform as that will be as
offensive to conservative Democrats as the

SCHOOL BOARD MET.
The Successful Bidders Notified Of the
Decision.

The school Board held a meeting at 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon and took up
the question of notifying the successful
bidders for the bonds. The successful bid
ders are Rudolph. Klybolte e. Co, of Gin
cinnati. and as they have never withdrawn
the deposit which accompanied their bid
and have never indicated anything to the
contrary it is opposed they still want the
bonds. The board decided that it would not
pay Interests on the bonds for the four
months during the tendency of the suit,
but would transfer the bonds with coupons
bearing interest from the date of delivery.
Rudolph. Klybolte e. Co. were t~elegraphed
