THE QUESTION OF HEAT
PROBLEM THAT CONFRONTS THE
SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS.
Business Manager Cleland Reports to
the Board ON the Conditions
-Other Business.

President Sloan of the School Board
opened the meeting last night by passing
around cigars TO celebrate the fifty-second
anniversary of his career In the drug bust
ness.
Business Manager Cleland reported that
he had inspected many of the schoolhouses
&c ascertain if they could be arranged to
use coal for heating purposes. Since the
gas has been discontinued one of the MEM
hers of the board announced that Indian
apolis has the biggest assortment of cold
storage plants in the country in the public
schools. Mr.. Cleland inspected Nos 8, 16
and 30, where gas engines are used TO force
heat through the buildings supplied by
artificial gas. He was accompanied by
Architect Adolph Scherrer when he in
spected No. %, On College avenue, near
Twenty-first street, and found the fiues
would not permit soft coal to be used.
Anthracite coal is now being burned at
that building.
Regarding the gas engine in the library
building. Mr.. Cleland reported that he had
Investigated the cost of furnishing power
to run 1T. He inquired as to the cost of
artificial gas and was told ii would cost
from S<fo 10 you n month"; SO ne ulu not
investigate any further that kind Of fuel
Gasoline, he said, would be much cheaper,
as five gallons would furnish 1000 feet of
gas, and 1t would require about forty gal
Ions a day. The Indianapolis Light and
Power Company offered electric power at
SO cents per 10000 watts. The gas engine
is used 10 propel the motor for furnishing
incandescent lights and the fans used in
forcing the warm air throughout the build
ing. Before the conflict with the gas COM
pany the gas engine was supplied with
natural gas. Mr.. Cleland reported that he
found the best method of heating many of
the school buildings would be by steam or
not water systems In the buildings. At
No. 10 building he estimated the cost of
a hot water plant at 1900
Mr.. Cleland further reported that he had
signed lease for No. building in Square
SO. now owned by the government, to be
In force until Sept Is, 1901. He also APP
pointed Charles II. Funk night engineer
and Waterman at the Manual Training
High School, to succeed Thomas Kinney,
who resigned.
superintendent Kendall reported that the
school children had contributed s42396 in
response to the appeal from the Galveston
school children for the aid Of the storm
sufferers The commissioners allowed the

The question of consolidation of the Sons
of the Revolution with the Sons of the
American Revolution was also brought up
at the business meeting and discussed in
formally, but with considerable spirit. The
opposition to consolidation is based on the

that the other society admits new members
on too slight showing of eligibility.

Major Charles vi. Travis, of Craw-
fordsviIIc, Says Old Soldiers
VIII Vote Right.
TO CHICAGO AFTER MONEY
TAGGART AND MARTIN SAID TO
HAVE SHIELD ups MIR. JONES.
A Tidy Sum to De Added to Croker's
Gift of $4,000 - Political
News OF Interest.

Major Charles NJ. Travis. OF Crawfords-
vile. one of the best-known pension attor-
neys of the State, was in the city yester-
day, and while here called on Chairman
Hernly at Republican state committee
headquarters. Major Travis was formerly
department commander of the g. A. r. of
the State, and held commission under the
government during the Spanish-American
war He is familiar with the Republican
politics of his county and State. and is es-
pecially well acquainted with the political
affiliations of the veteran soldiers, being
brought into contact with many of them
during the regular course of business.
Major Travis makes the positive asser-
ton that the Republican veterans of his
county are in line for Mckinley and Roose-
Welt, and what is true of Montgomery
county he believes to be true of the entire
State. and the whole country, in fact. ''In
1885, said Mr.. Travis, 1--WE had in our
county an organization of Mckinley vet
Grams numbering about 800. This campaign
We have reorganized the club, and we have
them all with us again except one dis
gruntled soldier. In all of Montgomery
county I know of but one man who voted
for Mckinley in 1896 who will not vote for
him again this year.
Major Travis says that while II is true
that sixty days ago there was some dis
satisfaction among the veterans of the
State over pension matters. they have for
gotten these things now and will support
the administration almost to the man.
They have realized the dangers of Bryan
ism were it given full sway, and they con-
slider 1T their patriotic duty to come to the
assistance of the administration. They be-
lieye IL is a duty they owe country and flag
to re-elect President Mckinley, and they
propose to do their share towards IL. I'VE
have General John C.. Black at Crawfords-
Vile tomorrow night" remarked Major
Travis. He comes under the auspices of
the veteran soldiers organization, and
General Lew Wallace is 10 preside, and
will, of course, make a speech. The fact
that General Wallace Is to preside ought
to be enough to convince everybody of the
generals attitude in this campaign. 1t is
true that at one time he was not exactly I'm
accord with the administration. having diff
fered with President Mckinley on what
General Wallace called the Presidents
colonial policy But there never was
time when the general was not loyal TO the
administration so far as voting for Mckin-
ley Is concerned, and to-day he is squarely
in line" Major Travis says that ten sons
of yeterans-frst yoters-have been added
TO their organization this campaign.

sulting with Chairman Jones.

tee, were in Chicago yesterday, consulting

received from Boss Croker I'm New York.
The statement is made that Mayor Tag
CART told Chairman Jones that the Indiana
committee must have assurance that mon
ey would be coming this way for the clos
ing work of the campaign. 1t seems to be
the understanding that Chairman Jones
will do something for Indiana, but just how
much this State will get has not been de-
cided. Mayor Taggart gave il out in Chi
cago that he and Chairman Martin were
there to see about getting some speakers
for the closing week of the campaign.

Complaint Lodged with the Republic
an State Committee.

publican state committee that certificates
OF nomination filed with county clerks by
joint legislative and joint senatorial can
didates have disappeared in some instances.
These certificates must, according TO law,
be fled within fifteen days of the election
to insure the candidates name going on
the ballot Three kilograms were received
at state headquarters yesterday telling of
the disappearance of certificates in thr.s
counties. Stolen by Democrats" one of
the kilograms said IL is explained that IL
the certificate OF a joint legislative or sena-
torial candidate was not found on file at
the proper time in one of the counties he
sought TO represent his name would not go
on the ballot i'm that county. IL this county
CHANGED 10 have a Republican majority and
the Other county was Democratic county,
the candidate would stand a good chance
of being defeated. The state committee. OF
course, has no means OF knowing whether
these certificates were willfully stolen or
whether they have been accidentally mis-
laid.
