WILL BUILD LOMAX HALL
BUSINESS MEETING OF FACULTY OF
INDIANA MEDICAL COLLEGE.
The Building VIII he Three Stories
High-A Building Commit
tee Appointed.

At the regular monthly meeting of the
Indiana Medical College faculty last night
1t was determined to at once proceed with
the erection of a new medical college build
ing to be known as LomaX Hall, in COM
memoration of the late DR.. William Lo-
max, of Marion, who, ten years ago. do
mated his estate TO the college. The build
ing will cost 900. and will be completed in
time for the opening of the fall term in 1901.
The building will be three stories in
height, and will occupy the lot on West
Market street adjacent to the present
building. The first floor will be occupied
by the Bobbs Free Dispensary, which has
outgrown what were thought to be ample
quarters five years ago, when the present
building was constructed. The second floor
will be used for the microscopical, the his
talogical and the meteorological labora-
tories, and the third floor entirely for the
departments of organic and physiological
chemistry.
A building committee was appointed as
follows: Drs. j. III. Oliver and Frank Nor
rison, representing the faculty at large;
DIR. =. III. Baker, head of the department
Of chemistry; DIR. Frank b. Wynn, repre-
senting the pathological requirements of
such building, and DIR. w. N. Wishard to
arrange the floors for the clinical rooms Of
the Bobbs dispensary. Such changes as
are necessary IN the present building will
also be made the coming vacation. The
money for the new building is already Sc
cured from the Lomax bequest in part,
and in part by the accumulation of the
present year, amounting to over $4,000
The Indiana Medical College is peculiar as
an educational institution in that no pro-
fessor draws a salary for his work. For
ten years every penny the college has made
has gone into betterments. The college
now has go students. and the laboratories
are overcrowded. The new building will
provide ample room for the 800 students
with which II is certain TO open the coming
century. The faculty also ordered that
certain departments of the old college
building be named in commemoration of the
great teachers and physicians. Drs. Harvey
widow Of DR.. Lomax, be invited to sug-
DRY of her husband, to be placed in the
new building. A committee consisting of
Drs. Baker, Morrison and Potter was ap-
pointed to divide the college work as 1t af-
fects both the course of study and the ex-
ecutive details among some ten or twelve
different committees, according to plans
suggested by Professor Baker and in con-
sonance with the customs of modern col
leges with four-year courses of study. The
building committee was authorized to meet
to-day. organize, receive suggestions from
the departments, and to visit the new col
lege laboratories at Chicago and elsewhere,
so as to select the best approved plans of
structure, at the expense of the college.

GREAT FINISH TONIGHT
WOMEN RIDERS WILL END TWELVE
HOUR RIDE TONIGHT.
Anderson Finished First Again Last
Night-GIaw's Admirers Not Dis
couraged-Matinee To-day.

The largest and most enthusiastic crowd
of the week witnessed the hour and half
riding of the twelve-hour international
championship race in Tomlnson Hall last
night and again saw Tillie Anderson push
her wheel over the tape ahead of Liseete
and CLAW in furious sprint for the finish.
The hour and half did not lag, for the
three leaders seemed anxious to gain lap
If possible, and many interesting sprints
were seen during tie time. Claw again fin
ished third, but her admirers have not lost
hope, claiming she will be able &c push her
wheel across the tape first this afternoon.
when the tenth hour OF the race will be
ridden, and tonight at the finish of the
twelve hours.
Miss Claw experienced trouble with her
wheel during the evening, the saddle be-
coming loose. She was allowed eight laps
to change to her reserve wheel. In MAX
ing the change she was off the track but
three laps, and after the saddle was read
justed she changed again within the eight
laps. The saddle worked loose again, but
she did not take chances on changing to
her reserve wheel. When she left the track
she showed fatigue from having ridden on
wheel on which the saddle was out Of or
der
The pace during the hour and a half was
very rapid, and Anderson showed she was
out for another finish from the start
When she was in the lead she set terrific
pace, as did also Lsette. The latter showed
that she had evidently stayed In second
place up to the end OF the riding last night
with the intention OF making harder
fight for first place this afternoon and to-
night.
Each one of the three leaders endeavored
to gain laps last night, but the attempt
failed, for they were all on the alert for
just such moves by their rivals. La Tour
set the pace just before she was taken off
the track about seven minutes before the
finish. Anderson was second with Lisette
hanging closely to Anderson's rear wheel
and Claw bringing up the rear. When La
Tour dropped out to allow the leaders to
speed and managed to stay in 'front.' al
though the other two riders swung around
the track three abreast, but were unable
to take the lead from Anderson.
The hours riding this afternoon will do
a great deal in determining the prospective
winner, although the real finish does not
occur until tonight, 1t is very likely that
the hours riding this afternoon will be one
leaders will have TO be able to follow the
fastest pace that no doubt will be set DUR
ing the race. The admission this afternoon
will be 70 cents to all parts of the hall.
The last two hours of the race for the
twelve-hour. championship will be ridden
tonight, starting at $780, 1t would be a
hard matter to pick winner from the
three-Anderson, CLAW and Lisette-for
her best, able to display her endurance
and sprinting ability for the tape at the
conclusion of the twelve hours, riding.

TO SUCCEED MORRIS.
Fred Rfttman, Of Ohio, Appointed
Fourth Auditor of the Treasury.

Fourth Auditor of the Treasury.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2s.-The President
has rendered to Fred Rittman, of Cleve-
land. O., the position of fourth auditor of
the treasury, made vacant by the tragic
death of Auditor Morris. Mr.. Rittman has
for some fifteen or twenty years been en-
gagged in the banking business in Cleve-
land, and previously auditor of
railroad accounts. He Is about fifty years
of age, stands high in business and social
circles. He is lifelong friends of Senator
Hanna, through whose influence he has Sc
cured his appointment, and is also known
by President Mckinley. There is thought
to be no doubt that he will accept and it is
expected he will assume his duties on the
first of January.
The condition of Samuel Macdonald, Who
shot and killed Auditor Morris, is consid-
cred worse to-day. The change is due to a
renewal of his efforts to thwart the meas
fureS necessary to his recovery. He re-
fuses to take nourishment and assists i'm
anything that is likely to bring a fatal re-
suit. His attitude is attributed to the fail
ure of his brother, w. III. Macdonald, the
opera singer, to reach Washington. Mac
Donald, who is member of the Boston
ians, now playing an engagement in Den
yer, has telegraphed here that he cannot
leave the company at present, owing to
the illness of two of its members.
