HANDIWORK OF TAGGART
SEEN IN THE SIDETRACKING OF
BENJAMIN f. sHIyELY.
How the Local Boss Engineered the
Deal for kern-Local Po-
litical Gossip.

THE real handiwork Of Mr.. Thomas Tag
CART, the boss of the Democratic ring in
indianapolis, is now coming TO the front
in the Democratic-Populist camp and there
is quite row on hand in the cussing room
of the inner circles" This assertion was
made yesterday by man who knows
something of the councils Of the Democ-
racy. Continuing. he said: 'Taggart wanted
Shively. of South Bend, sidetracked from
the race for Governor and before he would
allow Parks Martin 10 be reelected chair

he made Martin promise to use the ma
chine to nominate John w. Kern for Gov

Taggart wanted more gold and less OF the
free silver craze in the campaign, Mar
tin agreed to play into his hand and the
deal is now being contaminated. Hence all
the trouble at Democratic headquarters.

Is the noise. IL the Taggart proposition
can be carried out. Taggart is trying to
get control of the state government and
to do that he must not only snipe the gold
bugs. but must keep the free silver push
in line. To this end he has placed Allen
w. Clark out of the State. Clark was the
king of the free silver push in Indiana
in 1896 and he gave Taggart more trouble
than any other living man, but he is re-
moved and is now in Chicago at work for
the Democratic national committee. Tag
CART has him out of the way and the ring
of which Mr.. Taggart Is the head and to
which Parks Martin and the Democratic
committee plays second fiddle, is now using

JULES GUTHRIDGE HERE.
He Speaks Of Present Political Con.
ditfons I'm Kansas.

He Speaks Of Present Political Con-
ditfons I'm Kansas.
Jules Guthridge. of Washington, d. c..
who has been prominently connected with
Hugh III. Hanna in the work Of getting
sound-money legislation through Congress,
arrived in the city yesterday and is staying
at the Bates. He expects to start for
Washington some time this afternoon. He
came to Indianapolis from Topeka, Kan,
where he watched the proceedings of the
Kansas state convention on Wednesday Of
this week.
Mr.. Guthridge, with a number Of other
gentlemen, was the guest of Mr.. Hanna
last night at dinner. Mr.. Guthridge says
that no special significance attaches to his
visit here. He was only passing through
the city, he said, and thought, since he was
so close. he would stop over and see Mr..
Hanna. A meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the monetary commission will be
held either in New York or Chicago within
the next two or three weeks, and at this
meeting Mr.. Hanna will probably make a
full report of the work accomplished by
him and his assistants. AT this meeting the
future plans of the commission will be de-
termined upon
Mr.. Guthridge was for years a we'll
known newspaper correspondent in Wash
ington, and only gave up this work few
years ago. For several years he has paid
close attention to political conditions, and
on his recent visit to Kansas could not
help noticing the enthusiasm of the Repub-
licans of that State. He says the temper
of those in the state convention indicated
that there are bright prospects for Re-
publican victory In Kansas this fall. He
was told that the farmers are prosperous,
that they are able to borrow all the money
they need at reasonable rate of interest
without going far from home, and that they
are rapidly paying off their mortgages.
THE Kansas Republican" said Mr.. Guth-
ridge 'is a dyed-in-the-wool sort of man,
and he certainly means business this year.
He has had to fight Populism and fusion
so long that he is in no mood for trifiing
this year" Mr.. Guthridge says that al
though there is factional fight going on
among the Republicans in Kansas, he feels
sure the party will be victorious at the
polls. In the state convention every refer
ence to Mckinley and his administration
was roundly cheered. Mr. Guthridge also
visited West Virginia recently. and says the
chances for Republican victory in that
State are very good. The gold Democratic
element is very strong in West Virginia,
and IL the Democrats cling TO the free silver
fallacy as an issue Mr.. Guthridge says the
sound-money Democracy will come out for
Mckinley He says the whole country
must have forgotten the Porto Rican tariff
matter as he did not hear 1t once men
toned while on his trip.

INSPECTOR JoHNsON's REPORT


the Fire Department.
The full report of William II. Johnson,
who inspected the Indianapolis fire Depart
ment several weeks ago and which was
referred to the National Board Of Fire
Underwriters in New York. was received
by the Indianapolis Board of Fire Under
writer's yesterday. The report contains a
great deal of information regarding the
local fire department and the general con-
ditions in the city as they affect fire in
surance rates. 1t is stated that through
out the business and manufacturing dis
tricts there is much combustible property
and fires, under adverse circumstances,
would prove disastrous.
Inspector Johnson says it is difficult to
designate all the numerous places where
serious fires are liable TO occur in the mer-
camille or congested sections. He refers
to the block between South Meridian and
South Pennsylvania streets and East
Washington and East Pearl streets as a
part of the business center which Is in
need of improvements. He says a big store
is connected with an inclosed bridge to
it's warehouse on East Pearl street and
that iron shutters are used on the first
floor, which are hindrance to firemen
gaining entrance to the building in case
of a fire. He also refers to other stores,
which are similarly provided with iron
shutters, and recommends that such
bridges and shutters be abolished. He
further says serious fires are liable TO
occur at the extensive pork packing estab-
lishment of the Kingan Company. The
manual force and equipment of the city
fire department are entirely inadequate for
reliable protection, he says. Since the last
inspection a number of modernly con-
structed buildings have been erected. The
water facilities are good for reaching
upper floors Of most buildings, but the
tallest structures cannot be reached by
the aerial ladders in use. Inspector John
son says, in his report, that there are or
dinances in Indianapolis regulating the
construction and inspection of buildings;
also laws that regulate the sale of oil
and combustibles and dangerous explosives
He also says there is an ordinance in
preparation providing for an inspector,
whose duty will be to inspect all electric
wiring.
The report gives detailed account of all
the apparatus in the fire department and
also of the water supply. In referring to
the water company, he says 1t has fully
kept up TO the requirements of the city.
He says that at recent fires there has been
excessive loss by water damage, which
has been mostly caused by the use of the
Glazier turret nozzles. The use of these
nozzles, he says, encourages too much
street playing of immense streams of
water that are forced into the buildings
without accurate direction. He says they
should be used to prevent the extension of
fires and not for ordinary service.

street, was pulled. but the alarm was not
sounded. Investigation showed the wires
were in bad condition. The board will or
der a complete investigation OF the entire
system, and the watchmen In the tower
have been ordered TO be on the alert for
fires in case the alarms are not sounded
when boxes are pulled.
The board decided to purchase n horse
from Joe FlacR for S115. Flack first asked
$500. but the commissioners insisted on him
knocking off SOS Superintendent Quigley
will use the horse for his buggy.
The resignation of James Hignight, q fire
department lineman. was received and &C
cepted. Superintendent Quigley reported
that he had ordered the street-car company
not to store cars on the Mclean place
switches. Complaint had been filed against
this by Lucius b, Swift
