proposition TO reduce the capital stock

The amount fixed upon was purely arbi-
trary.
"A large part of the stock remained In
the treasury. Now we ind that we can
as we'll reduce the amount and still leave
enough In the treasury to add to our
holdings anything we are likely to want
In the near future, so wa decided to retire
the surplus stock. Should we need 1t at
some future time, the stock holders may
again authorize It's issue"
Mr.. Morse said the company had been
able to gather during the recent GOLD
weather. more than 1000, 900 tons OF ics.

The races OF which mere summary IL
given poorly describes the scenes OF yes
.terday at Clark's Pond, for there were
many lively brushes in which many well
known horsemen participated. Clifford
Randall was there with Blackstrap, and
Sweeney sent Lucky Wilkes across the
track. Frank Collins PAGER made an oc-
oasional brush and looking around Phil
Doyen was seen holding the reins over
Socks. Ernest Gross thought, and justly
so, that westfield was worth showing and
John Sullivan looked as II there "were
no flies" on EIfreda. g. N. Trefethen
held the ribbons proudly over Julia, and
William TayIor's bay horse was not to be
sneezed az. Reuben Dyer's horse showed
up in good form, and taking the day &
sport IN one grand general review. 1t if
safe TO say that the hundreds Of visitors
found no just cause to complain. The
fun, which was advertised exceeded the
most san1uine expectations.

Lovers OF harness horses were afforded
yesterday a day OF rare sport at Clark 4
Pond for the weather was fine, there was
no wind and the conditions were favor
abs In every respect. The card OF events
was sufficiently attractive to call out
gathering Of from 1900 to 5000 people who
went In private oonveyanoes, and by
Cape cars so that when the signal for the
start was given an eager crowd was pres
emit TO watch proceedings. 1t was ex-
ecsed that David Mnrdock's "Gilly'
would met Deehan's mare, Lucy
Wilkes" and the contest was anticipated
with the livelisst interest.

D postponed and all eyes then conferred on
the rs class. There were four entries
the starter being Hugh Sweeney and the
jud ges and time keepers were Charles
Ayers, Fred Bibber and Mr.. Hatch. The
race lie on, and the way in which ID J.
made the snow fly at the start led every
one to believe that she was too good and
snifty to be reached, and the animal fur'
nisheu q sure winner. Brad ford b. was
a good second and 1t looked as II this
good horse would keep the crowd a guess
ing, but down the home stretch IL was
apparent that staying qualities were
lacking. In the three minute class W. N.

but they were outclassed. The summary

A Big SAVING OF GAS
FIVE l. FEET A DAY CON-
SERVED AT HARTFORD CITY, IND.
John II. Johnston Says 1t Is Due to the
Efforts of Manufacturers-Be-
Iieyes in Mr.. Leach.

"A saving Of five million feet of natural
gas per day has been effected through the
efforts OF the manufacturers at Hartford
City to stop the waste OF the precious fuel, "
declared John K. Johnston, Of the Johnston
Glass Company Of that city. at the Hotel
English yesterday. That amount of gas
is more than enough to supply every home
and business house in Hartford City" con-
tinued Mr.. Johnston. 'Of course we intend
to cooperate with the association OF manu-
facturers formed at Anderson Tuesday to
fight the waste of gas. but we propose to
pay particular attention TO our own field. =
Mr.. Johnston is entirely out of sympathy
with the attacks that have been made upon
State Supervisor Of Natural Gas J. c. Leach
recently. Mr.. Leach is doing all right in
our field" he said. and is putting forth
his best efforts TO carry out the laws
against waste of gas. 1t must be borne in
mind that Nh. Leach has a tough PROPOSE
ton TO face. He has so many conflicting
interests 10 deal with-the oil interests, the
gas interests. the pipe line interests and
the manufacturers-until his position is far
from being a snap. L cannot see the sense
in lighting Leach. He is the man the manu-
factuTers want TO cooperate with in Secur-
ing enforcement OF the laws"
Mr.. Johnston was keeping an eye on the
Grand Hotel. His factory is a cooperative
concern, and there seemed a prospect OF
some agreement being reached between the
independents and temperatures

A big. hustling boiler maker down at
Niles. o.. had an experience with Grape
Nuts Food that is worth knowing. George
Preston says there was a time when his
appetite for breakfast failed him. and it
came from stomach trouble caused by his
way Of eating.
He would get hungry from his work
about 9 or 10 o'clock. but was not allowed
10 eat during working hours. and. when
dinner time came he would overeat and
would be in misery the rest OF the day,
and not able TO eat any supper.
He says: u was troubled with head
aches and so dizzy from STOPPING over
that 1 would stagger when Strengthening
up.
"Grape-Nuts being called TO my atten-
ton / took a package 10 my boarding
house and had some for breakfast, and |
did not get hungry until near the noon
hour. l now knew what was the matter
with me- i began 10 eat a good, healthy
food. and II agreed with me, so ! have

His Recommendations Are mbodie

Sitting in Special Session.
AN ORDINANCE INTRODUCED
1T WILL BE PAssED AT ANOTHER
SPECIAL MEETING TONIGHT.
The PIan of the Mayor Endorsed by the
Republican Members of the
Council.

At a meeting Of the City Council to-
night, called yesterday by Mayor Book
walter, Controller Breunig will be given
authority to issue bonds of the city of In
dianapolis to the amount Of $4,000.
Previous to the special meeting of the
Council the Council committee on finance
will meet and recommend the passage of
general ordinance No. 81, which allows the
controller to issue bonds for the ~refunding
of the numerous temporary loans foated
last year under the Taggart administra-
ton.
The action Of the Council in passing the
ordinance will be the first step toward re-
lieving the city of the temporary loan an
noyance. 1t is the policy of the present
administration to do away entirely with
temporary loans. and the mayor in asking
for the passage of the pond ordinance takes
the only practicable means of Kidding the
city of the incubus. The load Of debt with
which the city was burdened by the last
administration will be concentrated at low
interest, and as provided by the ordinance
may be %liquidated entirely in ten years
without fixing upon the city any additional
burdens. Mayor Bookwalter believes that
by the ssuan Of bonds and the ~refunding
of the temporary loans so that their pay
ment may be placed at such intervals that
the inances of the city will not be en-
barrassed is the only businesslike, economic
way of dealing with the problem be-
queathed by the Taggart administration
With Controller Breunig he is convinced
that it is possible to direct the financial
affairs of the city of Indianapolis in a man.
ner so economical as to do away with the
Gripping makeshifts Of temporary loans
and pay off the bonded debt with ease. His
solution of the question is approved by the
members of the Council m on
finance and by his associates in the adj
ministratiOn. Controller Breunig and the
mayor have had the question of the city's
finances under careful consideration for
several days, and yesterday the opinions
Of both officials, prepared after careful
examination of the state of the city's
finances and consultation with members OF
Council, were submitted for the formal
consideration of that body last evening at
its special meeting, called by the nay
yesterday morning, in the shape of a
recommendation by the mayor urging the
passage of the ordinance and embOdying
in it the recommendation and figures OF
Controller Breunig.

BOXING AT THE EMPIRE.
Jack Cullen and ollie Chill i'm Ten
Round Go-Other Contests.

In the ten-round boxing contest last night
at the Empire Theater between Jack Gull
len and Ollie Chill the match was declared
a draw. The agreement between the two
men before the fight was that If both were
standing on their feet at the close of the
contest neither was 10 be given the decision.
IL was a pretty contest. Cullen appeared
in the ring weighing 133 pounds, while
Chill claimed he weighed 126 pounds. From
the tap Of the gong in the first round both
men were rather shy Of doing any leading.
Cullen was the first aggressor and tapped
Chill lightly on the ribs.
This seemed TO bring out the fighting in
stinct Of Chill. The latter was inclined to
hang on 10 Cullen as often as Cullen jabbed
him on the body. In the second round Gull
len forced Chill into the latters corner and
gave him severe punishment. Chill
weathered the storm OF blows and came
back to the center of the ring smiling. The
third round found both men well on their
guard. Cullen tried TO force matters and in
doing so Chill chung 10 cullen. The latter
I'm making a swing slipped to the floor,
carrying Chill with him. They rolled around
in the dust as though it were a wrestling
match. In the fifth round Cullen again
was on the aggressive and forced much OF
the fighting. Chill saved himself from much
damage by clinging to Cullen. Chill, in the
seventh round, forced the fighting some
what and found Cullen always waiting with
a straight lab. Cullen conunued the lead
ing and did most OF the lighting until the
end. In the last round Cullen did not al
low his opponent TO rest for one second.
He kept up a continual jabbing on Chills
ribs and neck until the sound Of the gong.
II was evident that Cullen had the better
of the fight, as he was always leading and
his defensive work was good. and IL was
by arrangement that Hugh Raymond, the
referee. decided to call the contest q draw.
Preceding the main attraction three pre-
Lminaries were put on. In the first Harry
O'Brien and Ben Bruner struggled through
four rounds Bruner displayed the more
skill and had O'Brien all but out when the
bell sounded Bruner was awarded the de-
cisiOn. Kid Long and kid" Oliver then
followed for the same number of rounds.
Oliver was much smaller than Long and the
latter at all stages of the contest had
Oliver at his mercy. He was awarded the
decision. Timothy Lee, surnamed Young
Sharkey," next came on with TOmmie Car
rol for six rounds. Lee was lighter than
Carol. but displayed greater agility. The
