SUBSIDY is NOT VOTED
LAWRENCE TOWNSHIP NOT FAVOR
ABLE TO THE NEW RAILROAD.
A Voting Machine Is Used mt Law
renee with Good Results-Rail-
road People Unsettled.

The election in Lawrence township yes
terday, was an overwhelming triumph for
those who opposed the granting of SUBJ
sidy to the Indianapolis & Fl. Wayne Rail-
road which it is proposed to build. 1t was
proposed to vote a subsidy Of $4,000 to the
enterprise. The voting places were at Cas-
Teton, Lawrence and Oakland.
AT the two former places voting machines
were used. At Lawrence the United States
voting machine showed that 22l votes were
cast, 2OS of which were against the sub
sidy. At Castleton and Oakland there was
a big majority against the subsidy.
At Lawrence, where the United States
voting machine was used, it is claimed
the result was known in forty-five seconds
after the last vote was polled. Many votes
were cast in from one and half to three
seconds. One of the officers of the railroad
company said last night that he understood
the machine at Castleton caused some con-
fusion during the morning. About IL o'clock
IL was opened and those in charge found
that it had registered no votes. 1t was
then necessary to bring in those who had
already voted and have them vote again.
One of the men interested in the railroad
venture said last night that the company
would have to change its plans on account
of the defeat in Lawrence township He
was not prepared to say what would be
done.

CARRIE SCHWARTZ ARRESTED


Carrie Schwartz, who is accused by Mrs
Haley Of having something to do with
the disappearance of her diamond ear
rings. was arrested yesterday by Bicycle
Police Bray and Lancaster. She did not,
however. see Martha Meyers, her room
mate. at the police station, as she prophe-
sled in a remark made when she left their
rooms shortly before the arrest of the
Meyers woman, for the reason that the
latter had been released on bond.
Yesterday afternoon the police were ad-
vised that the Bird Transfer Company had
been asked to go to the house where Miss
Schwartz lived and get a trunk. Bray
and Lancaster were sent out and in front
of the house found the transfer wagon.
They waited on the opposite side of the
street, but their presence soon became
known to the driver and helper on the
wagon, who then told the landlady they
would not take the trunk. Someone had
seen the order given for the trunk and the
officers were told of an address which
appeared thereon. They went to the place
9 East Nesrth street, and asked for Miss
down the stairs. She was placed under ar
rest and sent to headquarters.
The actions of the colored men on the
transfer wagon indicated that they had
been told not to touch the trunk If police
officers were about and they attempted to
throw the police off.
The case against the Meyers woman was
continued yesterday in Police Court. Carrie
Schwartz is charged with grand larceny

MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS
VIII Receive Attention from the
state Board of Commerce.

One Of the subjects which will be con-
sidered at the coming annual meeting of
the Indiana State Board of Commerce will
be a movement to secure a careful revision
of the municipal laws OF Indiana with a
view to giving the smaller cities and towns
better methods of local government. The
present system of municipal government
in the towns is radically and seriously at
fault, and relatively operates as greatly
to the disadvantage OF the public as the
old system of government did in Indianap-
oils, Evansville, Fort Wayne and Terre
Haute prior to the granting of new char
tiers TO these cities.
AT the last annual meeting of the State
Board of Commerce report on the i'm
portance of this work was presented by the
committee on municipal affairs, Of which
A. l.. Mason is chairman. 1t is suggested
that the work in Indiana should be some
what along the same lines as that of the
Municipal Code Commission in Ohio, and a
paper on this subject is being prepared
for presentation 10 the State Board of Com
merce by Mr. W. W. Thornton. II is ex-
pected also that the committee on munich
pal affairs will have further report.

LOCALLEXOW COMMITTEE
REPUBLICAN CAUCUS DECIDES UPON
AN INVESTIGATION.
1t Is Probable the Workings Of the
City Administration Will BE
Thoroughly Aired.

At a recent caucus of the Republican
of making a complete investigation of the
city administration in regard particularly
to the recent action Of the Board Of Safety
I'm making the wholesale discharge of
policemen and firemen, was thoroughly dis
cussed, and 1t is very probable that within
short time an investigation similar TO the
famous Lexow investigation will be con-
Quoted I'm this city. This information comes
from a councilman AT the caucus a large
majority of the councilmen was strongly in
favor of instituting such an inquiry. 1t is
said that some of the councilnen cited
reports that had come to them bearing on
the city administration which should be
given complete investigation, they claim.
A prominent attorney was consulted by
certain members of the council and he re-
ported that the Council could conduct an
investigation. and if a witness did not
testify to the truth and answer all ques-
lions that were asked him. he could be TAX
en- before the Circuit Court and punished
for contempt. Several members of the
Council said they had received reliable in
formation of men who were in the saloon
business prior to the last election and a s
they used syndicate" beer they were al
lowed to conduct their business regardless
of the hours, but if they did not use syn
dictate" beer they were required to live up
TO a strict enforcement Of the law. Cases
have been reported to members of the
Council, it is said. OF saloon men being
practically run out of business because
they did not contribute to the Democratic
city assessment. These charges, together
with those made by discharged policemen
and firemen. will be thoroughly investi-
gated by the Council providing it is decided
TO investigate.
Another caucus will be held within few
days at which, ii is stated. plan will be
outlined TO carry out the work.

STANDS THREE TO TWO
REPUBLICAN MEMBERS OF COUNCIL
COMMITTEE DIVIDED.
For Two Hours the Proposed Gas Or
dinance Is Considered-Anothcr
Meeting Probable.

For over two hours last night Council
men Evans, Billingsley, Keller. Munro and
Negley. the Republican members of the
committee on contracts and franchises,
which has the proposed gas ordinance IN
der consideration. met in downtown office
and discussed the ordinance. 1t was given
out before this meeting that a report would
be prepared to be handed back TO the Coun-
Gil at the next meeting, Monday night, but
after all the discussion nothing was
accomplished toward report.
At the last meeting of the committee,
held in the city clerks Office a few days
ago, the Democratic members of the COM
mittee. knight and Bernauer, were in ia
vor of reporting the ordinance back TO the
Council without making any amendments,
but two of the Republican members IA
vored making a report against the ordi-
nance, while the other three Republicans
stated that they were in favor of making
report on the ordinance with few amend
ments. the most important Of which would
be the changing of the pressure at the
point of consumption from three ounces, as
the proposed ordinance reads, to a two
ounce pressure.
IuOSt WIZ are III IdNOT Ol lllS dIltilu-
ment would not give in at the meeting
held last night, while the two members of
the committee who want a report made
against the ordinance were just as strong
In their arguments as they were at the
last meeting of the committee.
The prospects of report being made to
the Council at the meeting next Monday
night looked dubious for awhile, but be-
tween now and then another meeting will
be held, at which ii is believed report
will be agreed upon by the committee
The two who are against making report
at all on the ordinance will probably be
persuaded to join the ranks of the major
ity, and suitable amendments will be made
TO the ordinance to meet the suggestions OF
all members of the committee.
The three who favor the ordinance, pro-
viding certain amendments are made, will
insist on a provision that will protect both
the consumers and the companies.
1t has been argued that INSCRIPTIONS
people could get the best of the gas COM
panies under the ordinance it now reads,
but an amendment will be prepared, pro-
viding a report is made on the ordinance
making certain regulations to protect the
gas companies. Amendments will also be
made whereby the gas companies will not
be allowed to regulate the pressure in GER
tain parts of the city. with the idea in
view of cutting those districts out Of gas
entirely.

DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL CAUCUS.
Two or Three Pending Ordinances
Are Considered.

The ordinance appropriating $1,000 to the
free kindergarten which was introduced
in the City Council recently will be re-
ported back to the Council at the meeting
next Monday night by the finance COM
mittee with recommendations that it should
pass Councilman Dickson, the Democratic
member of this committee, it is said, signed
his name to the report as being In favor of
the adoption of the ordinance. 1t has now
leaked out that at recent caucus of the
Democratic councilmen one of the ques-
lions considered was the free kindergarten
ordinance and it was decided to vote
against 1t.
At this caucus the gas ordinance was
gone over, 1t is said, and the Democrats
decided that If report should be made to
the Council favoring the adoption of the
ordinance as IL now stands they should
vote in favor Of 1t, but If an amended ordi-
nance were to be reported back they would
vote against its adoption. The annexation
of Irvington and Tuxedo Park also received
due consideration from those at the caucus.
1t was the consensus of opinion that under
no circumstances should the Democrats
vote in favor of annexation.
