ACTON PARK MEETING.
Heat Made LIZ Unpleasant for C~ottagers
The Services.

The sweltering heat Of yesterday made IL
very unpleasant for the cottagers in Acton
Park. a short religious service was TO
have been held in the morning at 1890
o'clock. when Or. Hickman. chancellor of
De Pauw University. was To have delivered
an address. DR.. Hickman telegraphed that
he was detained in Indianapolis on pressing
business. and this service was dispensed
with. The people who had crowded into
the large pavilion and worked energetically
with fans strobe out OF the building and
sought a breeze under the trees.
DR.. Lewis. president Of Moore's Hill Col
lege. was the principal speaker at the after
noon service OF $3.50 o'clock. Or Lewis
took for his subject The Relation Existing
between DenominatiOnal Schools and the
Church" The speaker cited statistics 10
show the vast differences between a state
university and the denominations school.
"In fifteen state universities he said.

WORKING FOR DELAY.
Another Change of Venue i'm Haines
Case-POIiticaI Notes.

TIL case of the State of Indiana VS.. Alvin
e. Haines, who was arrested for illegally
voting at the Republican primaries TO elect
precinct committeeman, came up for hear
ing for the second time yesterday before
Justice Shuck, of Haughville. and, as in
the former hearing before Justice Sheppard,
the defendants attorneys were prepared
with afidavits and obtained a change OF
venue TO the court of Squire Hawkins, at
West indianapolis. The case has been reset
for hearing for next Saturday. Under the
law the defendant is entitled to a change
OF venue from the township in which the
affidavit is originally filed against him.,
and TO a second change of venue from the
justice to which it is referred. The case
is, therefore, certain TO be tried next Satur-
day, as the defendant has exhausted his
means of delay.
Republicans are under the impression that
the Democrats are endeavoring to delay the
trial of Haines until some time near the
date OF the Democratic primaries, so that
In the event he is convicted it will AVE the
effect of lettering Republicans from voting
at Democratic primaries. IF that is their
object said Secretary Muir, of the Re-
publican city committee, yesterday. they
are going to unnecessary trouble, as no
Republican desires TO vote at their pri-
maries. and will be quite content II they
will refrain from trying to vote at ours"

D~fspensary Told that a Girl Had
Burned TO Death.

A telephone call for a City Dispensary
doctor at 1722 South West street yesterday
afternoon caused a needless trip for DIR.
Gray and delay in attending patients who
were seriously i'll. The report said a girl

burning pile of rubbish. No such address
could be found and nothing of such an &C
cident could be learned along the street
Recently the DiSpensary doctors have
been often called on such cases. and the
problem of how TO avoid such imposition
remains unsettled. Sometimes persons call

cited that they cannot give d straight re-

person who is greatly in need of help may

PERR0TT Is AGAINST IT
HE WILL PROBABLY OPPOSE ANNEX
ALTON OF TUXEDO.
Property Owners Given n Hearing by
the Ordinance Committee-PoIice-
men Must Wear Coats.

A delegation of Tuxedo residents, COM
posed Of Henry Mohr. c. o. Dunn, j. Ran
dolph. Charles Collins, o. Kelly and j. b.
Monticue. appeared before the council
manic committee on ordinances last night
TO speak in favor of the ordinance annex
ing Tuxedo 10 indianapolis. They offered
a slight amendment so as to include the
property south OF Washington street to the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company's right OF
way, instead OF making the dividing line in
the middle of Washington street.
The arguments I'm favor OF annexation
were proceeding nicely before Chairman
Keller and Mr.. Wheeler. of the committee.
until Councilman Perrott. the Democratic
member of the committee, arrived, about
three-quarters of an hour late. He imme-
diately proved a disturbing element and
placed a damper on the enthusiasm dis
played by the Tuxedo committee, by de-
claring that he was against annexation.
Chairman Keller informed Mr.. Perrott of
the proposed amendment TO the ordinance,
and Perrott retorted:
Going 10 the railroad tracks does not
improve the conditions as far as revenue TO
the city is concerned. What is the use
of taking in territory that Will cost the
city about $1,000 a year expense and only
secure about $500 r%evenue2 l don't think
that is a business proposition"
One OF tire Tuxedo residents said the
principal reason why residents Of the park
wanted TO get into the city was 10 secure
grades TO improve the sidewalks. He said
the objection raised to the ordinance intro
duced I'm the Council over a year ago for
annexation was made by Mrs. Streight and
MIR. Lancaster, who are now in favor OF IT.
he said the property owners in Tuxedo
stood almost unanimously in favor of COM
Ing into the city. He said IL was not the
desire OF Tuxedo people 10 ask for great
improvements at once. as they will come
later as the town increases.
- The question OF BrightwoOd having been
annexed came up In the discussion, and
one of the committee claimed that there
was twenty times as much uncultivated
LAM In Brightwood when IL was taken into
claimed the suburb needed fire protection.
as there have been three fires in that place
recently.
Ferrott offered the suggestion that If the
Tuxedo people desired fire protection they
could incorporate as a town. The argu-
ment took a rapid turn TO politics, and the
question was raised as to how Tuxedo
stands politically. Perrott said he was con-
versant with the political situation there,
Republican one of the visitors offered the
suggestion that that was probably the rea-
son PerrOtt was opposed to the annexation.
The members of the Tuxedo
showed their diSapproVal OF Perrott's argu-
ments and soon left the room. Chairman
Keller said the committee would visit the
suburb and a report will be made TO the
Council at the next regular meeting. The
Republicans OF the committee will likely
