WARD OWNED BY P0LSTER
MOORE DEMOCRATS EXPECT W.
FAIRNESS IN SIXTH.
Mcguire Told Wo1sffer That After
Saturday There VIII BE No
Moore Men.

Mr.. Charles Mcguire, machine candidate
for the Democratic nomination for mayor,
has again undertaken to enlighten the pub
lie on a few points which were heretofore
only matters OF conjecture. In looking over
the Fifteenth ward. Mcguire happened to
run across John Wolsiffer. the Democratic
candidate In that ward for councilman.
How are things down here, Wolsiffer?'
asked Mcguire.
"well. If you want the TRUTH" replied
Wolsiffer. lit looks TO me like Moore
would get nearly everything in sight"
1T may be that way now" said Mcguire,
but after next Saturday night Moore
Democrats will be hard to find"
Moore's supporters say that the state
ment OF Mr.. Mcguire is proof positive that
next Saturday night has been fixed upon
as the time for the machine pay car to
move. 1t is also evidence. they say, that
Moore is not TO be given a fair deal at the
primaries. The sentiment of an entire
ward. they maintain. cannot be changed
in a single night. without trickery is re-
sorted to.
The Moore managers said. yesterday,
that they expected 10 get a raw DEAF in
che Sixth ward. which Charles Polster
claims TO carry in his pocket. 1t is said

ears of Tanning, PoIster was sent for to
explain why such things were allowed to

voters want, it is what l say about it,"
The statement of Polster is said to have
been very satisfactory to Tanning and the
rest of the city committee.

before that of Little. This assertion of
Chairman Tanning, who, on the night that
the ticket was arranged by the primary
ton Of Little had been filed only the day
before. Cox's petition was filed three days
before the ticket was arranged. When
asked about the matter yesterday Little

A committee of colored people. composed
of the Rev. b. ]. Morgan, of Simpson
Chapel, w. T. b. Williams, J. c. Bryant,
Miss 5. Golfer Smith. Bud Day, Miss Lii
liam Henderson and Joseph H. Ward, have
in hand plans for the organization of an
industrial school for colored people here.
The institution. it is said, is to be modelled
after the one organized at Tuskegee, Ala.
by Booker II. Washington. The
has the support of the Charity Organization
Society of this city. The home of the
school will be for the present at the Flan-
ner Guild Cottage. on Rhode Island street,
near Blake street.
All lines of industrial work will receive
attention, but the number at first will be
limited, Ii being the object TO make the in
stitution as nearly -self-supporting from the
start as possible. Cooking, sewing, wood
carving, housekeeping and poultry raising
will be taught.
A prospectus just issued outlines fully the
scope of the work and it's advantages. and
in this an appeal for contributions is made.

Mrs. Leona Minturn. member of the board
of control of the Women's Prison and Girls
R~eformatory. stated yesterday that Miss
Pray, the assistant superintendent. had
been made temporary superintendent. as

evening Mrs. Minturn talked with her over
the long-distance phone TO ascertain If

piled that she had decided to decline the
position, as she was afraid she could not
make a success.
Mrs. Coffin and Mrs. Elan. members of
the board. are absent from the city, and

Private Water Rates.

Vice President Davis. of the indianapolis
Water Company, says the City Council has
no authority TO pass an ordinance reducing
rates for private consumers unless the
rates are higher than the average in other
cities of the United States of practically
the same size and governed by similar
conditions. He does not believe the ordi-
nance to be introduced by Councilman Per
rott will affect the agreement between the
company and the Board of Works.
Mr.. Davis says the ordinance OF 1870 gives
the company the right to charge private
consumers as much as the average rate
in other cities. He claims the rates can be
arbitrated. but in no case can the city fix
the rates. He says the company can exer-
else it's right to arbitration even should
the Council pass an ordinance regulating
the price at which water shall be supplied
TO uriYate consumers.

OTHER CLERKS ARE WRONG.


The attorney generals recent opinion on
the Jacksonville "Gretna Green" or mar
riage industry. has provoked a great deal
of discussion, and the statement is being
made that clerks in other counties besides
Clark are issuing marriage licenses to per-
sons that come within the inhibition of
Mr.. Taylor's opinion. 1t is said that most
of the county clerks of the State issue Ii
censes TO women who are not residents of
their counties.
Deputy Attorney General Moores thinks
the marriage law should be amended, and
one of the changes he suggests is that the
statistical information required now to
be furnished the county clerk by the
officiating minister or magistrate be sup
piled by the contracting persons at the
time they apply for the license. Ministers
and justices are said TO be very slow in
making returns of marriages solemnized
by them, and in some cases such returns
are not made at all.
