Mr.. CREGIER'S CLAIMS
HE SAYS HE COULD HAVE SAVED
THE CITY A LARGE SUM.
Charge Made that the GamewelI Bid
Is ExOrbitant-Other Munic-
ipaI Affairs.

n. Banks Cregier. vice president of the
Municipal Signal Company, of Chicago,
was In the city yesterday and criticised the
Board of Safety for giving the Gamewel
company the contract TO place a new fire.
alarm system in this city. Mr.. Cregier
made the claim several days ago that he
could save the city at least $4,000 from
the bid submitted by the Gamewell com
pany, and he said yesterday that he would
have saved the city over $4,000 had his
company been given the contract. Had he
been allowed to compete his bid would
have been about $4,000, he said.
Mr.. Cregier claimed he would duplicate
the Chicago system in indianapolis. and
thought it strange that the board would
not consider his proposition. in view of
the fact that the members of the board
praised the Chicago system.
Mr. Cregier said it was not surprising
that the Gamewell company had asked
such exorbitant prices for appliances when
not care 10 sell appliances when it had a
chance to get a big, fat contract for the
entire work. Mr.. Cregier said the Game
well company will get $4,000 for boxes,
and the other $42, 200 will be used for Of
hce equipment. He claimed st. Paul got a
bid from the Gamewell company for Of
flee equipment alone for $4,000. Mr.. Cregier
said he may return TO Indianapolis in a
few days.

Cases of DestitutiOn Found.

DR.. Clark, secretary of the Board of
Health, and Health officer Cramer visited
several houses yesterday that are under
quarantine for smallpox. DR.. Clark said
he found the sanitary conditions 10 be very
had, and the board will at once take steps
to improve conditions. DR.. Clark visited
Mrs. Lottie McFerrin, living i'm the rear of
2207 Yandes street, and found her to be in a
dying condition. She was removed to the
pavilion at the City Hospital, as her condi-
ton is very critical and she is not expected

rags and her husband, who is a mental
wreck, was suffering from hunger i'm the
little room. He will be given attention by
the board. DR.. Clark will order the con-
tents of several of the places he visited

REPORT OF INVESTIGATION.
Senator Agnew's Draft of IL Will BE
Considered

The Senate committee which completed
the investigation of the Indiana Industrial
School for Girls and Woman's Prison last
Wednesday night has not yet decided on
the report which shall be laid before the
Senate. Senator Agnew, chairman of the
committee, who was authorized by the
committee to draw up a report, submitted
a draft yesterday to the various members
of the committee. but late last night a
part Of the committee had not even seen
il and did not know whether they would
approve il or not. One member OF the COM
mittee yesterday, who had made a cursory
examination of the report submitted by
Senator Agnew. said there were certain
portions OF il of which he did not approve,
but declined to state wherein he differed
from Senator Agnew. The committee in
tended TO meet Yesterday afternoon in or
der to discuss the report, but, owing 10
the late session of the Senate, postponed
the meeting until this morning
The report prepared by Senator Agnew,
after reciting that the committee has care
fully inquired into the charges made
against the institution and has heard the
testimony of every witness who desired to
be heard, sets out the following findings:
The charges of financial mismanage-
ment Of the said school are not In any wise
sustained.
THE charges that the superintendent is
or was addicted 10 the use OF narcotics or
intoxicants are not sustained.
has been guilty of improper treatment OF
teachers and officers are not sustained.
"On the question of the charges Of
cruelty to inmates your mmitt desires
TO say that there is evidence that girls
and young women have been whipped: that
such practice has been in vogue since the
establishment Of the institution; thai there
were less whippings inflicted during the
last few years than formerly; that dur
ing the past six or eight months the prac-
tice Of whipping has been reduced to the
minimum"
From these facts the report concludes
as follows: a
1T is the opinion Of you COMP
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1901-03-08

that these matters can be remedied and
the moral condition and comfort of the
girls be largely bettered by providing a
separate institution for the girls and a
separate one for the women, so that they
may be entirely separated and have no
communication. The two institutions ought
not be under the same superintendent. and
we therefore recommend that a site be pur-
chased for each one of these institu-
tons and appropriate and suitable build
lngs erected, and that such legislation
be hereafter enacted as will provide a
separate superintendent and corps of Of
hcers and teachers for each institution.
In our judgment, il is not necessary
that they be managed by a separate board
OF managers. We believe that these in
stitutions should be managed by women
exclusively. The present board of man
ayers is almost entirely new. one of them
having been appointed in June of 1900, and
the other in January 1901.
THE term of office of one Of the man.
ayers has already expired and a success
scr may be appointed at once. Our judg-
ment is that the present board of man
ayers has instituted a better order of af-
fairs and that the matter of changes should
be left with the Governor for the present

Will Did on Fire Engines.

Several representatives Of manufacturers
of fire engines and other fire apparatus
are in the city to bid on the new apparatus
to be furnished the city, according to
specifications now on file at the Safety
Boards office. The bids for two new fire
engines will be opened by the board to-
morrow morning. A representative of the
Ahrens company is in the city. He said
yesterday that ii is probable that the bids
for the two new engines will exceed the
appropriation of s1O,5O0 provided for that
purpose. He said the board asked his
company for estimates for two new en-
gines, and the price was given at $500.
He has since learned that the board has
provided in the specifications that the en-
gines shall be fitted with rubber tires,
which means an additional cost of about
$500 each. He said the board has also asked
for larger capacity engines than his COM
pany originally figured on. The engines
to be bought will have a capacity Of LOO
gallons a minute, which. Mr.. Ahrens SAYS,
is next to the largest engine made.

MEETS WITH FAVOR.
Some Members of the Council on Pay
of Policemen.

Councilman Perrott's plan to introduce an
ordinance in the City Council providing for
an increase in salaries of members Of the
police department and a few of the clerks
in the city offices is meeting with general
approval I'm view of the fact that the Legis-
lature has passed a bill increasing the pay
of the fremen. One of the prominent Re-
publican members of the Council said yes
terday that he was in favor of such an
ordinance. He criticised the Legislature
for meddling with the affairs of the fire
men. He did not believe the members of
the police force should be Disseminated
against, and said he was willing 10 vote for
an ordinance to increase the policemen's
pay.
1t is said the members of the fire force
claim they are on duty twenty-four hours
a day, but the member of the police force
say the firemen seldom have TO leave their
firehouses, while the policemen are on duty
twelve hours and often have TO report at
the City Court as witnesses. The policemen
claim they nave TO spend about 500 more a
year for uniforms than the fremen and
their duties are just as p~erilous.

train No. 3, on the st. Louis division of the
Pig Four, was one clerk short, and he
accordingly undertook to make the run 10

assumes this work. although he is perfectly
competent to run On any route out of In

to catch the mail at Tollgate, Ind. be-
cause he did not get to the door in time.
