STOCK EXCHANGE IDEA.


II wish the newspapers of Indianapolis
would continue to agitate the idea of a
stock exchange for this city" said a bank
and trust company officer yesterday. II
believe that such an exchange with a linn
tied membership carefully selected would
be a good thing for the city. and especial
ly for people who buy and sell investment
securities. Brokers who would belong TO
the exchange might not get as large COM
missions as they occasionally receive now.
but they would make as much money. for
they would DO a larger business. OF course
a great deal of care would have to be exer-
cised In listing securities on the exchange
and stringent rules 10 govern it's opera
tons would have 10 be made and enforced.
To talk OF a membership OF fifty. however,
is absurd. Why. the big Stock Exchange OF
Baltimore has not that many members.
indianapolis woul do better 10 lave an
exchange with not more than fifteen MEM
bers. A great advantage OF a stock ex-
change here would be that II would be an
exchange not only for this city, but in SO
far as indianapolis is a financial center IL
would be an exchange for a very con-
siderable territory surrounding the city"

YACHTS IN DEAD CALM.
Constitution, Columbia and Independ-
ence Unable to Race Yesterday.

NEWPORT, r. l., July 1O.-The third
race between the Constitution, Columbia
and independence came to an inglorious
end late this afternoon in a dead calm and
the thickest kind of an Atlantic fog. There
was little time to form judgment on the
relative speeds of the three boats, for in
less than half an hour after the start the
boats ran into the fog. and at no time
after that could all three be seen at one
time. A little over an hour after the start
the Constitution withdrew and came back
to the city. The Columbia and Independ-
ence stood on for the outer mark, which
they rounded with the Columbia about a
mile in the lead. The wind, however, al
most died TO a calm, and the leading boat
could not finish in the time limit. The race
was. therefore. off, and will be sailed over
tomorrow. AT the time the Constitution
withdrew she was leading the Columbia
in beat to windward by nearly a mile, and
the Independence by nearly two miles.
The feature of the day was the magnifi-
cent navigation of Capt. Charlie Barr, of
the Columbia. In a fog so thick that at
times 1t was impossible to see from one
line TO the other he brought his boat sure
and through to the outer mark and rounded
in magnificent style. Another feature was
the remarkably close start, only four sec
onds elapsing between the first and last
boat to cross. TIL independence, the last
boat to cross, was only seven seconds be-
hind the starting gun.

PLEAS OF wv RAILROADS.


A railroad that runs through the forty
fifth parallel of latitude and is known
as the Forty-ifth Parallel road was rep
resented before the State Board OF Tax
Commissioner yesterday. This is the
Findiay, Fort Wayne & Western road.
and its general manager, b. F. Fenton.
made a plea that the roads assessment be
reduced again this year. A reduction Of
$1,000 a mile was made on it's assessment
last year. Mr.. Fenton said that last year.
after paying operating expenses. the road
had a surplus of only $1,000. 1t runs from
Fort Wayne, Ind. to Findlay. O., a dis
lance of about eighty miles. 1t is merely
a small division of a paper road with
large expectations. 1t may be built east
and it may be built west. The roads Sc
curities are largely held by John Jacob

morning and asked a reduction OF the as
sessment OF the part Of the road running
from Chicago TO Brazil from $1,000 to
$4,000. Mr.. Lyford said the earnings OF
the Brazil branch do not justify so large
an assessment. Its length is ls4 miles, and
Mr.. Lyford said IL wells that are being
drilled shall produce gas the road may
pay better. Mr. Lyford said the part OF
the road running from Terre Haute through
the western part of Indiana does an ex-
cellent business. The road from Chicago

trains a day and is double tracked, but
from Danville to Terre Haute 1t is only
