CATCHER POWERS PURCHASED
Manager watkins Proud of New
Acquisition.

Manager Watkins has strengthened the
Indianapolis ball team by purchasing
first-class catcher of National League ex-
perience and ability. The new acquisition
is Catcher Powers, who was with the
Louisville and Washington teams last sea-
son. The deal for his purchase was con-
summated a few days ago and last night
Manager Watkins received the signed con-
tract from Powers. He will report here at
once. Powers is a frst-class backstop and
can play in the game every day If neces-
sary. He is noted for his batting and
throwing to second. and but few men sue
coed in stealing base when he is behind
the bat. He fights for the game at all
stages and never knows what it is to quit.
The addition OF Powers will set at rest all
uneasiness on the part of the fans as to the
strength of the team in the catching de-
partment.
The local players are getting into form
as rapidly possible during the present
weather. The wind is a trifie too chilly to
permit OF much hard practice, but the play
ers say they are doing nicely in taking the
kinks out of their arms. The park will no
doubt be in shape for the game Saturday
with Rochester.

Chairman HernIy's View of Admiral

said what was attributed to him this morn
ing in relation to becoming presidential
candidate" said State Chairman Hernly,
yesterday afternoon, helping himself lib
orally to the contents of his silver to-
bacco box. do you want to know what I
think? My candid opinion is that the adj
miral's wife must have dictated that in
terview in his absence. 1t sounded very
Il don't know whether to say womanly
or womanish. I don't think the admiral's
presidential aspirations are to be taken
seriously for a moment I think he will
take it all back inside of two weeks"
Chairman Hernly left, yesterday after
noon, for Washington, Ind, where big
love feast and banquet will be held this

fore the councilmanic investigation of the

sion. The first witness called was Otis c..

missioners. He was discharged from that

SO due him as his regular salary. and the

Bert Feibleman, the new clerk, in getting
out the December work. which amounted to
as much the other eleven months of the

of the board. after his dismissal, and pro-
tested against being removed, but Mr.. Eng
lish said he could not help II, as there were
three members of the board against him.
John Doyle, who with his brother ran a
saloon at 4S4 West Washington street last
summer, and whose place was closed last
December. was the next witness. He said
they did not have license, but paid the
Terre Haute Brewing Company 81 week
toward paying for license, believing that
Mr.. Donnelly, the brewing company's
agent, had taken out the license for them.
He said License Inspector Manning called
at the saloon three times In December and
told them to take out a license. Thursday
before Christmas Manning called, and on
Saturday following, after they had pur-
chased two half-barrels of beer from
Hamilton, o., brewing company. their sa-
loon was closed by the police. He said they
refused to pay the Terre Haute Brewing
Company s. a barrel for the beer. They
paid sos to Mr.. Donnelly toward paying for
the license.
Edward Doyle, brother Of the witness,
testified in reluctant manner, and Attor-
ney Harding asked him if he had not been
talking with members of the police force
before being called to the stand in regard
to his testimony. He denied having done
so. He was told If he did not answer ques-
said when the place was closed that Mr.
DOnnely, of the Terre Haute Brewing
Company, returned him the money he had
paid toward license.
License Inspector Manning was called to
the stand and told of having ordered Doyle
to take out a license, and as he did not do
so the place was ordered closed. Manning
claimed he knew nothing or Doyle having
purchased beer from the Ohio brewery, and
said IL made no difference TO him what
brewery he bought his beer from.
Nelson J. Hyde, a member OF the Board
of Public Safety, was Intercepted by At
torney Harding regarding the saloon order
prohibiting patrolmen from entering sa-
looms except In the line OF tneir duty. ne
said he had heard of no complaints about
the order, and believed the patrolmen had a
right to enter saloons If they suspected
anything wrong. -
W. S. Mcmillan, also member or the
board was again called to the stand to tell
what he thought of the saloon order. He
said 1t might be modified and made better
but he believed IL to be good order,
