MERCHANTS ARE ACTIVE
IN URGING LENIENCY ON THE PART
OF THE WORKS BOARD.
Board of Trade Committee COnfers
with the Board of Works ON
Franchise Question.

A conference was held yesterday after
noon of a committee representing the
Board of Trade and the members of the
Board of Works to discuss the interurban
franchise question. Member of the Board
of Trade held a brief conference at the
meeting of the board Monday night and 1t
was decided to confer with the Board of
Works to recommend amendments to the
franchise for the interurban companies.
The two main features TO which the
members OF the Board of Trade objected
were the tax of 500 placed on each car to
be run into the city and the length of the
franchise. AT the conference yesterday aft
ernoon which was held in the office of
Joseph w. Smith, a member of the Board
of Works, the committee from the Board
of Trade. consisting of George w. Sloan,
George G.. Tanner and E. w. Bassett, set
out the reasons for making the objections
to the franchise.
1t was argued by the Board of Trade
committee that a tax of 800 a car was en-
tirely too much, as ii would prevent the
companies from running as many cars as
they would otherwise and in this manner
the number of people who would be brought
TO Indianapolis would be materially fewer.
Members of the committee said the inter
urban companies would bring into Indian
apolis a great many people who would do
their shopping in this city and the lines
would increase the business of the Indian
apolis merchants. For instance, a woman
in the poultry and butter business living a
few miles from the city would bring her
product TO this city OF the cars, as the
fare would be cheap and she could secure
a better price for her produce. Then she
would spend the money with the Indian
apolis merchants where she could purchase
what she desired. 1t was argued that the
interurban companies would increase the
business of the indianapolis merchants and
the companies should not be compelled to
pay an exorbitant tax. 1t was
that a tax of So or $40 a car would be suf-
argued that the franchise to be given the
interurban companies should be for as long
a period as the one granted the Indian
apolis Street-railway Company instead of
for twenty years. The members of the COM
mittee believe the companies should not
be compelled TO accept and issue transfers
or to accept tickets, as the traffic from
outside the city would be injured, but this
Point was not discussed TO any extent.
| Chairman Sahm, of the Board of Works,
| treated the committee with courtesy and
told the members that the franchise ques-
ton would not be settled until Friday
There may be amendments to the franchise
on the questions brought before the board
by the committee but there were no prom
Uses made by the board.

members of the family not to call him In
the morning, as he wanted to sleep. The
family went out during the morning and
when they returned at noon Wines was
still i'm bed. Efforts TO arouse him were
unavailing and DIR. Gates was called. There
were evidences OF poison and he was
treated for morphine poisoning. but died at
go y. m.
Wines was forty-five years of age, and
married, but had been separated three
years from his wife. He leaves four chill
Gren. 1t was afterward learned that he pur-
chased the morphine at Tracy's drug store
on Twenty-third street. He left no message
or explanation for his act and the only
cause could be assigned was remorse, as
he was addicted TO the excessive use Of
LIQUOR.

Before noon today the S. P. Co.
blacksmith shop was deserted. the
men taking off their aprons and leav-
ing in a body. They unanimously say
they were and have been for some
time past uniformly spoken to and
and ordered about BY Fore
sman Wilson as If they were dogs.
That ne had outraged their manhood
repeatedly until they could no longer
bear 1t. That he ever has been brut-
ally insulting and is without the in
stinct Of gentleman or the knowledge
or experience Of properly handling
men. That he is surly and ignorantly
domineering. That he has great ca
pacity for stlnging insulting sarcasm of
the low order. That they could Ill af-
ford to lose their positions but would
sooner starve than serve under him.
The general impression among rail-
road men not influenced is that Mr..
Wilson is not qualified for the posi-
ton he holds by reason OF his man
ner in particular. There is small doubt
It would bear mending.
