CHARGES AGAINST WHEAT
Sustained by the POstomce Depart
ment at Washington.

Acting Postmaster Shideler received word
yesterday that the charges preferred
against James c. Wheat, former clerk at
Station A, had been sustained. Accom-
panying the letter was an order for his
removal. Wheat was arrested some time
ago on the charge of assaulting a woman.
The evidence adduced at the hearing was
forwarded to Washington, and it is upon
that evidence hat the order of removal
is based. The removal of Wheat means
a promotion for five or six other postofice
employees. Charles G.. Keiser has been
transferred from the mailing room at the
postoffice to Station a. The transfer of
Keiser means an advance to Albert H. Steel
of from 500 TO $500 a year: John Engleke is
advanced from $500 TO 500; John E. Hanley
from $500 TO $500, and John NJ. Falvey. a
substitute clerk. is appointed to the $500
vacancy. There have also been several
other transfers to this office from offices
outside of the State. Mr.. r. p. Reed has
been transferred TO this office from Clarks-
burg, W.. Va in place of Charles w. En-
sey, who goes 10 Clarksburg. Carrier B.
j.. Yantes comes here from Chicago in
place of j. D. Porter, who takes Mr.. Yam
tess place at Chicago.

Consumers Enter a Vigorous Protest
Against Meters.

While the Common Council was in ses-
sion and the ordinance prepared for the in
~stallation of gas meters was being intro
duced, on the floor below, the police roll
call room was occupied by a gathering
which was there for the purpose of enter
ing protest against the adoption of such or
dinance by the Council. AS early as $50
o'clock last evening citizens curious as to
what would develop at the anonymously
called ''mass meeting began arriving at
the police station. At s o'clock there was
quite a gathering and finally some one
said. 'Come on fellows" and into the roll
call room they went.
Patrick Mahoney called the meeting to
order and Charles A. Gauss was selected
as permanent chairman. He briefly stated
the meeting had been called for the pur-
pose of hearing voiced the sentiments of
the people on the proposition of the COM
pulsory introduction OF gas meters, follow
ing which he gave a lengthy view of his
ideas regarding the matter. He said he had
In his possession the statement of a man
who had used meters for nine years, re-
ducing his gas bills from s12i per year TO
half and less. This. he said, was an argu-
ment against the use Of meters by the
poorer classes. for the reason that the man
referred TO had a large number of burners
and used some of them only when unfre-
Quented rooms were used for special pur-
poses. Continuing. he said. after referring
to the provision OF the law by which citi-
zens may now demand meters at a rate OF
10 cents per thousand cubic feet of gas:
w have come here TO say to the City
Council hat the introduction of meters
does not mean 10 cents per thousand. but.
as in Chicago. 90 cents per thousand. They
say they cannot get more gas from the
field. but II We use meters We will have
more pressure. You and / believe that IL
this gas shall disappear. we want IL 10 be
a thing of the past with the poor as well
as the rich This gas has made the city of
indianapolis. If the Board OF Works and
the Council and the mayor should open the
throttle I'm the gas field and throw of the
regulators which they have there to hold
down the pressure. there would be suffi-
cient pressure TO blow up the city of In

was greeted with applause. He said: II

SCHOOL BOARD MEETS.
Some of Mr.. Goss's Appointments Not
Confirmed.

The Indianapolis School Commissioner
held an adjourned meeting last night for
the purpose of considering the appoint
ments made by ex-Superintendent Goss for
the ensuing year. Calvin n. Kendall, the
new superintendent, arrived from New
Haven yesterday and met with the board
last night. The board refused to confirm
several of the appointments made by Mr..
Goss. but in no case did the refusal reflect
on the teacher under consideration. There
were some who had been appointed at a
salary larger than that prescribed by the
rules Of the board and In a number of cases
teachers had been appointed to places
where there were no vacancies. In one in
stance ii was said, a teacher who had been
appointed by Mr.. Goss did not have a
license. The board declined TO make public
the names of those whose appointments
were not confirmed until after the teachers
themselves had been notified. The full list
OF appointments has not yet been gone over
and the meeting was adjourned until next
Friday night In order to complete the work.
Superintendent Kendall at the meeting last
night appointed the following assistants
for the High School: Chemistry, Harry
Wells, civics. Claude McGinnis and Fred
Herzsch; drawing, Alexis Many. The board
heard a large number of complaints and
protests from teachers on account of grades
which had been lowered by Superintendent
Goss. The matter was referred TO Superin-
tendent Kendall, who was empowered to
take such action in the matter as he saw
fit.
Mr.. Kendall was granted a leave of alb
sence by the board until the 10Th of August,
when he will return to this city and take
up his permanent residence.

STREET CORNER EXCITEMENT.
Gathered Mt Meridian and
Washington Streets.

There was quite a crowd and a good deal
of excitement at the corner of Meridian
and Washington streets about half past 8
o'clock last night. The central figures in
the crowd were four bicyclists-two young
men and two young women-and an elderly
man holding by the hand a sobbing child
of about six years of age. The little boys
father was angrily insisting that the two
men ~bicyclists while stopping at the corner
for some unknown reason had deliberately
held the child's wrist against a hot bicycle
lamp and burned him severely. The riders
protested that the child had accidentally
run against the lamp in his effort to escape
from another boy who was running after
him. The little fellow was taken to a near
by drug store where his wrist was dressed,
while the bicycle party rode away without
giving any names. The boys name is
Johnny Edmonston. His father is a street
VendOr.

Cold Air Corporation.

A "Cold-air Corporation has sprung
into existence and yesterday made a prop
osition with the Board of Works to cool
the city in the summer and warm IL in
the winter providing it is allowed certain
privileges, all of which is a take-off on the
Stuckmeyer franchise for waste paper
boxes. The "Cold-air Corporation" wants
TO construct its plant under the surface of
Washington street. between Illinois and
Meridian streets. n 10 place manholes
on the sidewalks at intervals of twenty
feet. Huge fans ninety feet in diameter
erected on big iron stands would be placed
at every street intersection. The company
also asks the privileges OF covering man
holes, fans, etc, with advertising. The
proposition stated that a representative
of the company would call on the board
as soon as he returned from Nashville.

THE BRENECKE CASE.
Prisoner Is Wanted I'm the Province of
Ontario, Canada.

William Brenecke, who is wanted in the
province of Ontario. Canada, on the charge
of larceny, was arrested yesterday at
Marion and brought to this city and given
a preliminary hearing before United States
Commissioner Moores. At the conclusion Of
the hearing Brenecke was sent to the
Marion county Jail 20 await the action of
the United States authorities at Washing
ton, who are expected to grant a requisi-
ton for his extradition.
Brenecke was under arrest at Marion and
had sought to secure his release by habeas
corpus proceedings. Before the hearing in
the habeas corpus proceedings was had,
however. j. w. Murphy, chief inspector of
police of the province of Ontario, arrived
in this city and procured a warrant for
Brenecke's arrest. charging him with lar
ceny. He proceeded at once to Marion, his
warrant taking precedence over the local
proceedings, and as a consequence il is
probable that Brenecke will soon be on his
way to Canada

Against Knitting Company.

The Postofice Department at Washington
has issued a fraud order against the Co.
operative Knitting Company. of this city.
In future the local office will decline to
cash any money or postal orders addressed
to the firm, and even the letters which
may be addressed 10 the company will
either be returned TO the writer. where the
address is given, or forwarded TO the dead
letter office. Some time ago John NJ.
Hunter. president of the company, was
arrested and charged with fraud. but the
jury disagreed. and nothing further was
done in the matter. But the authorities
have evidently taken a different view of
the business conducted by the firm.

THE COMPANIES SUPERIORITY

The Union Trust Company does all kinds
of business in the management or prop
erty that an individual can do. Besides It's
great financial ability and responsibility
1t can give the very best service for the
following among other reasons:
THE TRUST COMPANY is more eau
tious thar the individual, moves more safe
ly and has an invaluable reputation which
its managers are ever Jealous TO protect
and enhance.
THE TRUST COMPANY'S acts are open
and not secret. They are always particle
pated in by several, and thereby dishon-
esty is made impossible.
THE TRUST COMPANY'S charges are
more reasonable than those of an indi-
vidual, for it has in it's own office and law
department every facility for performing
many duties that ordinarily would have TO
be given out to others at heavy expense to
the trust.
THE TRUST COMPANY'S affairs are en-
tirely removed from every species of specu-
lation. All investments are made by its
finance committee, thus enlisting the COM
bined wisdom, experience and capacity OF
several successful men.
THE TRUST COMPANY keeps a clear
and complete record of everything Ii does.
which is subjected at regular periods to
rigid scrutiny by the courts and the state
authorities.
