A RUMOR is CURRENT
THAT EX-GOVERNOR BRADLEY, OF
KENTUCKY, is IN THE CITY.
1t Is Said He Accompanied Ex-Secre-
tary of state FinIey-Can-
not BE Located.

Tt is now intimated that Ex-Governor
State Finley are both in this city, with no
great desire to have their presence known.
1t could not be learned last night where
they are stopping, but pretty reliable in
formation is to the effect that these two
prominent Kentuckians and supporters of
Governor Taylor have been in Indianapo-
lis for several days. 1t is also intimated
that Mr.. Finley is not merely here because
Governor Mount would refuse to honor a
requisition from Mr.. Beckham. There is
another reason, it is said, for his presence
in the city.
The fact that a Frankfort Ry.) newspa-
per man connected with the Associated
Press arrived in the city yesterday gives
color to the rumor that the ex-state OFF,
Gals are here in retirement.
Ex-Governor Bradley is one of the attor-
neys and close political advisers of Gov
ernor Taylor and if he is in the city II
may have unusual significance. The Goe-
bellies are particularly bitter against Mr.
Finley, alleging that he was responsible
for calling the armed mountaineers to
Frankfort, and his life would not be worth
much IL is said, If he should return tC
Kentucky and fall into the hands of his
enemies.
How long the Kentuckians expect to re-
main in this city is apparently known only
to themselves.
From a reliable source last night the In.
formation was gained that Ex-Governor
Bradley, Mr.. Finley and others of their
party will leave indianapolis tonight.

REPREsENTATIvE Lands HERE.
He Gives His Views on the Porto RI
can Tariff Bill.

Representative Lands, who came from
Washington last week to spend few days
at his home in Delphi, was at the Denison
Hotel last night and met a number of his
friends from the Ninth district. He will
return to Delphi to-day and expects to go
back to Washington some time this week.

Lands, 1.-THE Porto Rican question was

and 1 believe it right now. Should the bill

legislation, giving nothing away that We

people of Porto Rico should begin to con-
tribute in small way to their own treas

could be devised that would bear as lightly
on them as a small revenue tariff. The
idea that this bill was passed by reason of
influence brought by trusts Is ridiculous.
The plain truth is, as everybody in Wash
of the House, the trusts and all their in
fiuences were on the side of free trade
and these influences received the hearty
cooperation OF almost a united Democracy.

THE SOUTH SIDE CLUB
ALL OF THE PRELIMINARY AR
RANGEMENTS ARE MADE.
Temporary Officers Chosen and Conn
mittees Named-Intoxicants
Will Not He Sold.

The movement Of South Side citizens to
organize a club for the promotion of mu-
nicipal interests has begun to materialize,
and last night a preliminary organization
was accomplished at the Seventh Presby-
terrain Church. The meeting was called by
the committee having the project in
charge, and was in response to postal
cards that had been sent out to citizens
requesting their presence and promise to
take stock in the club. There have been
about eighty returns from prominent citi-
zens who will take an active interest in the
organization.
The club will be called the indianapolis
Civic and Improvement Club, and it's pur-
pose is to promote the commercial and
manufacturing interests of the city, to in
terest the people in municipal affairs, and
to provide place OF entertainment and
instruction by the erection of suitable
building. The capital stock of the club will
be $4,000 at IS share, payable in INSTALL
ments. There is no limit placed upon the
number of shares, but it is the intention of
the promoters to make it popular thing
and get as many to take shares as are at
tainable. The installments will also be
placed as low as advisable to induce a
general subscription. The membership fee
will be 81, but the members who are not
stockholders shall have no voice in the
election of the board of governors. The
club also provides for junior membership
and a ladies' auxiliary. The club will be
free from all political influences or associ-
ations, and will not be partisan on public
questions. The sale of Intoxicating liquors
will be prohibited.
The greater part of the evening was spent
in discussing various forms of organiza-
ton, but nothing was accomplished until
the suggestion that those present enter
into temporary agreement and deposit a
sum of money as a token of good faith and
was elected permanent chairman to serve
until the organization is completed and a
board of governors is chosen. r. j. Bren-
nan was elected secretary and Charles b.
