STREET
One of the Things Which Would Fur
ther Municipal Aesthetics.

George Z. Bissell, in Municipal Affairs.
To break up the monotonous angularity
of streets i suggest that a fountain De
pla ced at street intersections, around Its
base a bank of flowers, then a broad walk
and trees around the circle and seats under
the trees. 1 would repeat this place of
rest so often that one would not be out OF
sight or hearing of the fountains at any
point on the street. Between the fountains,
ii necessary TO give variety and add inter
est to the street, / would place monuments,
statues or other decorative works, and sur
round them with ~shrubbery and flowers. A
scheme of this kind offers a chance for z
variety of treatment and is feasible in the
most densely populated districts of a city.
Think of a fountain with trees and flowers
and comfortable seats in tenement districts,
opening up to these neglected parts of the
city places where the bright sunshine might
penetrate and flowers and shade and In
ming water cheer the inhabitants.
Every city has acknowledged the neces-
sity of doing something to improve the
tenement districts by tearing down blocks
and turning those places into parks. But
il is very expensive. For this reason
breathing places and gardens-beautiful
stricken, Woodworking and weary inhabit-
ants of overcrowded tenements-are largely
unavailable by those who most need their
benefits. At the cost of one of these parks
which wipes out of existence scores of
dwellings, and business buildings. and with
them all the revenues TO city and individ-
uals-and without interfering with bust
ness or the sacrifice of a tenement, whole
tenement districts could be made TO bios
som as the rose in spots IL not within sight
of each other. at least within easy walking
distance from one TO the other. 1t is good
business as we'll as good health and good
morals to make the lives of the working
masses as comfortable as possible. And il
is also good politics; for rest and revolution
are born of the unbearable miseries and
neglect of the laboring mayNes. whose only
for redress of grievances is
force.

Mr.. Bell Explains.

In answer to the charges made that City
Attorney Kern delayed the filing of the
suits in the elevated track question, so as
to prevent the cases beng heard this
month, Deputy City Attorney Bell said last
evening that the suits were not completed
ready for filing until late Saturday even
ing. The work on them had been rushed.

necessary data. He further said that had
the suits been filed on Saturday or even
earlier In the week they would not have
been heard this month as the attorneys for
the railroad companies would demand time
to prepare He said the matter
was not delayed to prevent the cases being
heard until next fall.

STRESS OF
Moving Cause in the Suicide of
Former Judge II. b. Long. !

| Special to the indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, July Sit is very
well understood to-day that ex-Judge
Thomas b. Long, who mmitt suicide
last evening, was moved to take his own
life because he had exhausted his financial
resources. After he left the bench in 1882
the judge made little or no effort to acquire
practice at the bar. He had an Office, but
few cases, and In the past half dozen years
it is doubtful if he earned a fee. He be-
came a r~ecluse, except on Masonic occa-
sions. He had a good library. and spent
most of his time in it when not at the
lodge, chapter or commandery rooms.
He had been notified that to-day fore
closure proceedings would be instituted to
take from him his last piece of property,
an Ohio street office building, worth a few
thousand dollars. When the savings bank
undertook TO close in on his residence prop
erty, it was learned that twelve years ago
he had decided it to Miss Froeb, his house
keeper.
Miss Froeb had been a SISTER and mother
and a tried and true friend for seven
teen years and that she is a highly in
tellectual, moral and Christian lady" who
had induced him to attend church and had
made a better man. of him.
A short time before he shot himself he
asked her TO drink a cup or cOffee with
him and then knelt at her side in prayer.
She says this was not an infrequent de-
votfon, and that while his prayer was
very fervent she did not notice anything
in 1t or his manner to arouse her fears.
He went into his library, and a minute
later she heard the fatal shot. When she
entered the room he was gasping, and died
a moment later.
A month ago he wrote something about
his life and placed it in an envelope adj
dressed to ex-City Treasurer John Balch.
one of his close personal friends, and a
brother. Mason. who had been closely as
ISOLATED with him in the order. An added
note. evidently written a few days ago,
said that further details of his life would
be found in the second volume of Repre-
sentative Men of Indiana"
Judge Long was born in Mansfield, o.,
but came to Terre Haute in 1913. when he
was nine years of age. 1t is expected that
a large number of Masons from different
parts of the State will attend the funeral
services, which will be held on Thursday.

BUNTz UNDER SUSPICION.


Fire which started in an unknown man.
ner was discovered in Room I of the Vajen
block, on North Pennsylvania street, last
night. The room is occupied by j. O.
Matthews, a job printer. The fire was or
the smoldering sort. and the smoke was so
dense IL was some time before the men
could get to the fire.
About midnight the department was
called to the Anson-Hixon Company's sash
and door factory, on East Norwood street,
TO put out a fire which was thought to have
been set. and for which Henry Buntz. a
half-witted man living nearby, was ar
rested. The fire was in a shed used as a
warehouse, and did not get into the main
building. The damage, II was thought,
would be about $500.
Buntz was the first man to the fire, and
ii is claimed has been the first one to dis
cover q number of similar fires. He has
been suspected by the police for some time.
They say that while he resided on Harmon
street that neighborhood was troubled with
similar fires, which stopped there and be-
gan in the neighborhood OF the fire last
night on the second night after Buntz's
change of residence.
Last night. Patrolmen Lowe and Vaughan
approached Buntz and said they wished to
talk with him. He Immediately began to
tremble and asserted that he did not do it.
He made contradictory statements, and
when cross-questioned attempted to explain
at just what moment the fire started. He
had previously claimed to have been In bed
asleep and to have been awakened. when
he looked out the rear window and discov-
cred the flames, to which his brother-in-
laws's attention was called. His clothing
showed no evidence of having been hastily
put on, and he was the first man seen at
the fire. People residing in that locality
say in their opinion the police made no mis-
take.
