against this ordinance because several of
the men they nave recommended for places

The Democratic councilmen believed that
Superintendent Quigley was instrumental
in having the men they had recommended
rejected. and they plotted to kill the junk

FARMING IMPLEMENTS.
Ex-Director John Nugent Asked
About Repair. to the Warden's Res
idence-win Meet Again To-Day.

The Indiana Reformatory investigating
committee met yesterday afternoon and ex-
amined three witnesses. The first one
called was William Dinkle, who is gardener

ments on the farm being stored in the Re-

barn and are there now with the exception
OF a moving machine, hay rake and
breaking plow.
Witness said Mr.. Jenner. steward at the
Reformatory, sold the moving machine,
hay rake and breaking pillow. Witness
guessed" the moving machine and pillow
were sold to man in New Albany. The
breaking plow was also sold. He did not
know whether Jenner sold these imple
ments or gave them away. Witness was
asked whether the implements were sent
to Superintendent Hert's Lawrence county
farm. He said he could not say.
John Nugent, OF Evansville. was next
called. He became member of the board
OF directors OF the prison south in 1895 and
tuition became a reformatory. He said
that at one meeting OF the board Of di-
rectors they allowed $1,000 for repairs at
the prison residence. II was afterward an
rounced that the repairs would cost a few
hundred dollars extra, but specific sum
was named. The repairs were made, and
as the bills began to come in they were
charged to the general maintenance fund
Witness said he understood the repairs
cost about 5000 The prison residence be-
longs to the State. Witness said that when
ne and the other members OF the board of
directors visited the prison they took their
meals in the guards dining hall and slept
in the prison. Witness did not contribute

Haute, testified that he was formerly a
guard at the Reformatory. He went there
I'm 1885 while the institution was known as
the Prison South. He said that horse

Captain Henry, one OF the directors. Wit
ness did not know whether or not Mr..
Henry was paid anything for the use Of the
horse.

INFLUENCE OF ARCHITECTURE.
Prof. Zcublin's Lecture on "Libraries
and Public Buildings"

Professor Zeublin delivered the fourth
lecture of the university extension course
at the Manual Training auditorium last
night. His subject was Libraries and
Public Buildings" He began by pointing
out the fact that libraries and other pub
lie buildings have ARCHITECTURAL as well as
intellectual connections. and that the Ii
braries of cities should have some relation
to other buildings OF a public nature. He
divided his discussion into three parts, con-
s:dering in their order Libraries, public
buildings in general and public school
houses He said public building should
be built on commanding and at the same
time a convenient site. In most cities one
or both of these conditions Is apt TO be
lacking, while in many places a command
ing location is secured at the expense of
general public convenience. This condition
ne said, is true of Milwaukee, where the
library Is situated in a most commanding
location on a hill, but Is some distance
classes of people In Chicago. on the other
hand, convenience and accessibility are OBJ
tanned at the sacrifice or the other feature,
the library of that city being hemmed in
on all sides by warehouses and other un-
slightly structures. Professor Zeublin called
attention TO the fact that public buildings
Sf this character can serve TO a large ex-
tent as lpublic educator in artistic and
architectural matters and the matter Of
location has much 10 do with this feature.
The library of Indianapolis was commended
because OF its central location, command
ing site being impossible on account OF the
topography of the city
Concerning public buildings in general the
speaker used the city halls OF various mu-
inequalities as illustrations. He called par
tIcular attention TO the City Hall OF Phil
adelphia. which cost an immense sum.

LETTER CARRIERS BALL.
1t Is Given Mt Tomlinson Hall by the
Ladies' Auxiliary Club.

The Letter Carriers Ladies' Auxiliary
Club gave its first ball in Tomlinson Hall
last night. The attendance was not large
enough to crowd the hall, but the floor was
comfortably filed with dancers during the
entire evening. Financially, the club esti-
mates that it cleared about $3.50. The pro-
gramme danced was lengthy. and started
off with the usual grand march at o'clock.
This was led by Postmaster McGinnis and
Mrs. j. F. Poe, president of the club; AS
sistant Postmaster and Mrs. Shideler.
Frank J. Richmann and Miss Matthias, j.
F. Poe and Mrs McGinnis. daughter-in-law
of Postmaster McGinnis. There were sew
enty-two couples in the grand march, but
many more came in later.
The reception and floor committees were
active all evening. So successful was the
ball that the managers at once decided to
make 1t an annual affair, and from now on
the social event will be repeated each win
ter
The purpose of the ball is twofold-to pro-
mote the social welfare of the organiZa-
ton and to furnish financial assistance to
the treasury of the letter carriers asSo-
citation. The letter carriers pay sick men,
bers a weekly benefit as long as they are
unable to attend to their regular duties.
This manner of increasing the benefit fund
is intended to detract from the system of
assessments for benevolent purposes, and
at the same time give members, their
wives and friends a season of pleasant So
cial intercourse.
On the reception committee were Mrs. ].
f. Poe. Mrs. A. FL. Arbuckle. Mrs w. L.
Cook, Mrs. J. A. Parker. Mrs. Ed l.. Craw-
ley, Mrs. r. S. Coke, Mrs. II. M. Trimpe

BANKS CREGIER In TOWN.


Banks Cregier, vice president of the
Municipal Signal Company, of Chicago, ar
rived in the city yesterday in the interest
Of the new fire alarm system to be installed
in this city. Mr. Cregier called upon Chair
man Hyde, of the Board of Safety, yester-
day and said he did not bid on the new sys-
tenn for Indianapolis because he had not
seen the advertisements for bids. He is
anxious. however, for his company to have
an opportunity to bid against the Gamewell
Company, and he said last evening that he
will address a communication to the Board
of Safety to-day asking that the bid of the
Gamewell Company be rejected and that
new bids be advertised for.
Mr.. Cregier Is the man who caused the
sensational disclosures IN Cleveland when
he secured permanent Injunction prevent
ing the city from accepting the bid of the
Gamewell Company for a police system in
that city. He secured evidence that alder
men in Cleveland were to be paid $500 each
for their votes for the contract, and one
of the aldermen disclosed the scheme when
he was only paid 500.
apolis Mr.. Cregier said there is not the
slightest doubt there was collision among
the manufacturers of such systems. He
said he knew of other cases where the
Gamewell Company had been in collision
with other companies, and the fact that
some of the other companies did not bid
on the Indianapolis contract is evidence of
collision.
Mr.. Cregier said he could put a first-clas SIS
fire alarm system in Indianapolis for sew
eral thousand dollars less than the Game
well Company's proposal. He said the bid
of the Gamewen Company to furnish new
alarm boxes at a cost of S125 each was out
rageous, as the company offered TO put the
boxes in at Cleveland for SO. He said the
mountaineering boxes were not used in larg-
er cities, as they were not a success. He
said the Gamewell Company proposes TO
place lot of appliances in the central sta
ton which only made the system look to be
more costly. Mr.. Cregie. will remain in the
city until he receives an answer from the
board regarding his communication.

ard urged that this fact should at all
times be considered in the erection of pub
