CROP PROSPECTS GOOD.


y. 8. Eustis, general passenger agent;
OF the Burlington, the c., B. & O., has
returned from q tour OF Inspection Of
the northwestern division OF the sys-
tenn. He reports the prospects as being
highly satisfactory at the present time.
Recent rains in the Dakotas and Min
nesoa have brought about wonderful
Transformation all thru that section OF
the country. While rains did not come
soon enough to prevent the wheat crop
from sustaining very serious injury,
still 1t was much benefited, and all
other crops were SAVED materially.
Corn. fax and grass especially were re-
deemed and there Is now every. reason
to hope that there will be full crops Of
these. Reports Of the corn crop in Me-
braska since the recent copious rains
3 there are very fattering. There is
every reason to expect that that state
Will have a full crop this year.

JUDGE TAYLOR'S ARGUMENT
Is Concluded I'm the Vandalia Case
Followed by MIR. Williams.

Judge Taylor, attorney for the State In
the Vandalia case, who began his argu-
ment of the law in the case on Monday,
concluded at IL o'clock yesterday morn
ing. He said that it was a settled point
that the company should have the re-
turn Of its capital, with 10 per cent. inter-
est before the State would be entitled to
is share He said the only questions to
be determined were the amount Of capital
stock and the time when the stockholders
had received their money back. He argued
that the cost of the road did not figure
in the case. In speaking of turning the
earnings into the construction of the road
he said il would have made little difference
for it would have postponed the ultimate
intention of the law for only short time.
for when the capacity of the road was
broadened il meant the making of larger
dividends later on. He said the manifest
purpose of the law was the more profitable
the road the sooner the State would come
into its own.
Judge Taylor was followed by Attorney
Williams for the company, who occupied
the entire afternoon in a discussion of the
facts, and will probably continue with his
argument all of to-day. He will be followed
by Attorney Pickens, who will argue on
the law o. the case.

THE LUMBER DEALERS.
Retail Men I'm Session at the Grand
Hotel-Committees Appointed.

The Retail Lumber Dealers Association
of Indiana held its first session yesterday
afternoon in the Grand Hotel, but little of
general interest was done. The principal
thing was the reading of a report Of the
Lumbermen's Mutual Insurance Company
by c. E. Merrifield, who said that the COM
pany was the outgrowth of exhorbitant
rates on the part of the old line companies,
and had demonstrated that lumber yards
are better risks than the other fire insur-
ance companies will admit. He said that
when a start was made to organize the
company 1t was found that the State law
was so framed that it practically shut off
all efforts of that kind. BY hard work the
law was amended. however, and the COM
pany organized. He said the company had
paid out since its organization in 1897 $12,
972.59 in fire losses and So, rs in dividends
while at the first of the present year there
remained on hand in cash $4,530.1 He said
the annual expense of operating the COM
pany, including all salaries to officers, was
81 ,9S1 Is, which he said was a marvelously
low figure. He also said that the company
had ascertained from circulars sent out by
the old line insurance companies since the
organization of the lumbermen's company
that rates on old line insurance had been
reduced in some cases as much as 6319 per
cent. to lumbermen.

SECRETARY ROOT REPLIES.
To the Governors Request to Have
Gen. Lawton's Body Lie I'm State.

Governor Mount yesterday telegraphed
the secretary of war asking that the re-
mains of General Lawton be brought to
Indianapolis to lie in state at the Capitol
before interment at the National Gene
terry at Arlington. The Governors action
voices the sentiment of not only the citi-
zens of Indianapolis, but of the State of
Indiana, who are all anxious TO pay last
tribute to their dead hero. But those who
had hoped to again see the face of the be-
loved soldier are doomed to disappoint-
ment, for it is deemed by Secretary Root
to be unwise to expose Mrs. Lawton and
her children to the rigid climate of this
city after having been in the tropics for so
long time.
The following telegram is from Secretary
Root in reply to that of the Governor:
THE remains Of General Lawton will be
brought to this city from San Franciso
over the Southern Pacific. Mrs. Lawton
and her children have been in the tropics
so long that 1t is not deemed wise TO ex-
pose them to the rigid climate of the
Northern route, and also to avoid any delay
incident to storms liable to occur on the
more northern route at this season OF the
year. For these reasons the department is
unable to comply with your request to have
his remains lie in state at Indianapolis"

THE RACE PROBLEM.
Editor Henderson, of Rhode Island,
Has a Solution, He Says.

Editor Joseph w. Henderson of Provi-
dence, r. l., founder and national organizer
Of the American Protective League, and
Miss NJ. Genevieve Burnett, assistant ma
tional organizer, arrived in the city last
night from Cincinnati. where they have
been conducting successful two weeks
campaign in the interest OF the organiza-
ton. The league is a national organiza-
ton of colored people. the first branch Of
which was formed in Providence, r. l.,
March Is, 1895. Mr.. Henderson believes
that the solution of the race problem will
be found in a wiser and more general dis
tribution Of the colored people in the over
crowded and lynching districts of certain
Southern States, throughout the various
parts of the country. The aim of the
American Protective League is to buy lands
In the sparsely settled portions of coun-
ties and States in the Eastern, Central and
Western States, establish thereon indus
trial communities and enterprises that
would open up an Independent livelihood
out interfering with the business interest
of others.
Branches Of the league have been estab-
lished in Rhode Island, Connecticut, Mass
achusetts, New York, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania, Delaware, Ohio and many South
ern States. Mr.. Henderson and his assist
ants nave been organizing Tor over six
months and now claim a membership of
some 1000 or 10000.
The membership comprises men, women
and children. Mr.. Henderson and his dep
uties take none of the membership fees
but leave every cent of it with the local
branches A national convention will be
held in June for the purpose Of forming a
National League. By that time, the or
ganizer predicts a membership" Of 100, 600.
Mr.. Henderson is now en- route for the
Pacific States, but will establish leagues
in Indianapolis and other portions Of In
diana before leaving.

NEW APPROPRIATIONS
Contained In an Ordinance Of the
County Council.

The County Council yesterday prepared
an ordinance containing the appropria-
tons which the council has practically de-
cided to make. Although the ordinance
has not yet been passed 1t has been pre-
sented on first reading. Among the ap-
preparations are the following: Insurance
on County Hospital for the Insane. $1,000:
for pay of experts for examining county
records, s1,2SO; attorneys fees for opinion
as to validity of county bonds to be sold
in June, 1900, $500. for completion Of asylum
building at Julietta. s2e.45.25: for equip
ment of building. 5000; for barns. etc., for
the Julietta Asylum. 5000; for completion
OF Central avenue bridge over Fall creek.
s35.0S316; for bridge over Fall creek at
Hammond Grove. s2.67L
The Council will allow the necessary ap-
preparations for bridges over Crooked
creek. Indian creek. Brady creek, Dollar
creek and Little Eagle creek.
The following amounts will probably be
allowed for telephone service: Courthouse,
$3.50; jail, $50; Workhouse, $50; County Asy-
Ium. $136: Childrens' Guardians Home, $50.
For the payment of outstanding orders
against the general fund, ii Is proposed to
allow $9.9S5.23- The sum of s., S50.22 will be
allowed for the payment Of orders against
the turnpike fund. At least this is the sum
mentioned In the ordinance.
The Council has declined to allow the
County Commissioners $500 for miscellane-
ous expenses. Last year this sum was
paid the bailin In the Commissioners
Court. but last fall when the Council met
IL cut of this expense. The commissioners
have had To do this work since the first of
the year. They insist that they cannot find
time to do the work. County Auditor
Smith supported the Commissioners in their
claim for this allowance. but the Council
declared that II would be unlawful TO make
the appropriation since the law does not
provide for clerk or bailiff for the Com
missicners.

PRICES MAY 90 UP.
Indiana Camera Association Dis.
cusses the Price OF Goods.

The Indiana Gamers Association met
yesterday in the Hotel English and will
continue in session to-day, when it is ex-
pected to definitely settle the price for the
coming years pack. Representatives were
present from the tin-plate mills who offered
to sell to any and all Gamers alike. the
price to be s4.65 box for tin cans, which
is 81 higher than the price last year. AS
nearly as can be estimated the Gamers ex-
pect their product to cost them 20 cents a
dozen more this year than last, and 1t was
decided to materially raise the price of the
goods. Throughout the discussion the fig
ures ranged from IS to S7ia cents a dozen,
and finally a committee was appointed to
set the price. Last night 1t was understood
that IS cents had been agreed on. This Is
looked on by the Gamers as equivalent to
a material loss in profits TO them.
During the afternoon the following off,
GERS were elected: ]. r. Thompson New
Castle, president; William Nading. Shelby
vile, vice president; William A. Sampson.
Muncie, secretary and treasurer.
