in THE FISTIC ARENA
A BLOODY CONTEST IN THE EAST
ERN PART OF THE CITY.
ssINid" DAILY and aKid" King in a
Seven-ROund COntest-No Po-
1iccmcn There.

Two aspirants for fistic honors styling
themselves kid" DAILY, of this city, and
kid King, of Cincinnati. have been try
ing for a month past to meet in the arena
to try their science on each other. They
met last night in a small hall in the east
ern part of the city TO try conclusions. The
men both weighed about 135 pounds and
both had trained carefully for the fight.
About sixty friends of the principals and
promoters witnessed the affair, paying 81
apiece for the privilege
1t was evident from the start that the
Cincinnati man was not to win the battle
and for seven fast rounds the men fought
fiercely, neither seeming to have any APP
probable advantage. 1t was said that by
Encouragement King was not to be hand
leo when In his corner according to ring
custom and in that way his vitality was to
be forced down gradually. From the num-
Der of right and left swings which reached
Kings jaw in the seventh round this as
so often and hard in this round that his
had been hit about ten times he fell I'M
conscious to the floor until counted out.
All this was being carried on apparently
without the knowledge of the city's guard
ians. At no time during the fight was
there any apprehension the part of the
spectators that there would be police in

PRINCIPAL OCCUPATION.
Mr.. ShideIer Grows Facetious Over
Departmental Questions.

Assistant Postmaster Shideler was Ia
boriously working on a report yesterday
afternoon, and when a reporter found him
he was perspiring over some of the ques-
tons to which the authorities at Washing
ton demanded an answer. One of these
questions was: what are the number or
persons employed in the different callings
in your city to whom mail is delivered?
Enumerate them thus: Merchants, 200;
bankers, so; laborers, 500, etc" This was
where the assistant postmaster passed,
as the saying is. How the department
expects me to enumerate the different vo-
cations of the 10000 residents of Indtanap-
oils is more than l can figure out" he said.
This task is more than the whole census
department has been able to do in several
months, and it is perfectly certain that

DOWN IN THE COAL MINES.


Mother" Jones addressed a meeting of
mine workers and their friends in the Grim
inal Court room last evening on the sub
ject of Employment of Child Labor in the
Mines" Although her address was primar-
lily intended to be in the interest of the
miners, she made a general plea for all
branches of labor. Quite a number of
working girls were present and the elo-
cuent appeals made in their behalf met
with hearty applause from them. The
speaker described the condition which pre-
walls among the breaker boys of the mines
OF Pennsylvania. where boys of eleven
years work thirteen hours a day for
wage scale of cent an hour. The miners
and their families, she declared, are the
helpless slaves of the great combinations
OF capital and the operators who own and
control the mines. In those regions when
a child is born, the day is eagerly looked
forward to when he will be old enough to
dc a days work. and when that day ar
rives he is taken by his father to the oper-
ator OF the mine, to whom his services are
offered for pittance. Some of the worst
details of the present system were gone
into and the need Of organization among
all the miners of the country was strongly
urged
Let us arouse ourselves" she said LET
us get together and form a combination
that will protect and not destroy. Let us
do what our brothers have done, and are
doing in other countries. In France and
Germany and Italy our brothers are be-
ginning TO realize the necessity of organiza-
ton, and they are beginning 10 study social
conditions and TO reach down into the

ginning TO ask what right company has

should be owned and operated by the gov
crnment. We believe in compelling a man

THE PICKING PROCESS
NEW WATER CONTRACT DIssECTED
BY COUNCIL COMMITTEES.
1t VIII BE Sent Back to the Works
Board with Amendments-Mu-
nieipaI Affairs.

LET as discuss the contract as we go
along and in that manner we can arrive
at a more intelligen. conclusion on the sub
ject," said Councilman James II. Billings
ley at the meeting of the committee on
contracts and franchises last night to con-
slider the new contract TO be made with the
indianapolis Water Company. Chairman
Evans had read part of the contract and
had just begun the paragraph regarding
the payment OF $40 per year rental for each
Ere hydrant.
1--WE will take up the section pertaining
TO fire MIGRANTS first" continued Mr.. BIZ
Kingsley. 'and I want to say that the cost
for each hydrant should be reduced from
s45 to SIS a year as $35 is plenty TO pay for
them. In all Of the big fires there is some
thing the matter with the water service
and the water company has some sort of
an excuse to make for not giving better
pressure or better service. The hydrants
should not cost the city over $S5 each a
year."
In this argument advanced by Mr.. Bill
Kingsley several others Joined and Munro
agreed with Billingsley. Others talked OF
the rate having been reduced s. from the
previous rate but no one said he would
be against still further reduction.
discussion also arose regarding the
section OF the contract which provides
that the water company shall furnish suf-
ficient pressure to force eight streams
OF water through one-inch MOBILES 100 feet
vertically in the air within six minutes
after an alarm Is sounded. Members of the
committee believed that the section should
be amended TO provide that this pressure
De given after passing through at least 500
feet or hose before reaching the nozzle.
Councilman Munro raised point that the
water company when laying mains be COM
PEELED TO extend all service pipes 10 prop
erty lines so that consumers would not
have TO pay for connections, but this sug-
from other members of the committee
The section pertaining to the flushing of
streets may be amended so that four
streams of hose can be used for flushing
at the same time. Mr.. Negley thought the
section regarding the analysis of the wa
ter should be amended so as to give the
Board OF Health exclusive power to order
such analysis.
Several OF the members OF the commit
tee sneered at the section regarding the
free use or water TO the city and IL is more
than likely that this section will be lit
orally torn TO pieces, IL does not meet
with the approval of the members who
think the section was included in the con-
tract as a blun 20 make the city officials
nothing.
The rates TO be charged private con-
sumers were not discussed as il was agreed
that Chairman Evans should send each
member OF the committee a COPY of the
rates before the next meeting 1t was
argued that the rates to be charged pri-
vate consumers should be fully considered.
The committee will meet again this week
and the contract will be ordered sent back
10 the Board of Works with recommended
lions for certain amendments to be agreed
upon.

MANY WOMEN ARRESTED.


The police continued their so-called anti
vice crusade last night and by 10 o'clock
twelve women were arrested and waiting at
the police station for some one to go on
their bonds. Two women were arrested in

beer garden on West Market street. Be-
sides these three others were arrested at
the resort adjoining Stout's place. All
were charged with lettering. Stout gave
bond for the seven arrested In his place
and the others were locked up. All were
regular frequenters.
The police say they never saw so few
women on the streets as were out last
night. Most Of the places of the character
OF those that were raided were almost de-
serted.
Later last night two women were arrested
in Joe Gates's place. at Capitol and In
diana avenues. Sergeant Giblin and Pa
trolmen Shine and Paulfel made the ar
rests.

ADDITIONAL CAPITAL.


1t has all along been the desire Of the d.
rectors of the new American National
Bank to have as shareholders every active
business man wishing TO interest himself
in the enterprise. as they realize the great
advantage of such active influences. Every
effort has been made to accomplish this end
without increasing the capital. which is
now s25O0O0-but the applications from the
business men of this city and bankers
throughout the State have been so numer-
GUS that the directors have decided to
recommend an increase of the capital from
$250,000 to 100000. The necessary steps will
require thirty days, but applications will
be taken at once.
The banks commodious quarters at Nos.
% and "A East Washington street, will be
ready this week, so that the doors will be
thrown open for business on Monday next,
February 4-the day originally fixed upon.

the suit for damages which David A. Jen-

zens of Washington county to strike out
certain articles of the allegations. While
it is admitted that there was a newspaper

that should be settled by the Democratic
national committee, and is not subject
for the United States Court.
That portion of his complaint which bears
on the charges against his domestic life
is declared to be blind and an attempt
to cover up certain parts of his record.
