~oNE-MAN" FIRE SERVICE.


The "one-man" service OF the city fire
which people have heard little. yet 1t has
been IN many cases of greater value than
the work OF the departmental service an

is danger OF the building or Office furniture

breaks into the place and turns out the

So far this winter only seventeen OF these

OF these were made last night. In many
cases a chemical Is sent out. only as a mat

F. C. Y INJURED.
He Was Burned in n Fire at His
Residence.

Thu residence of Frank c. Payne. of the
indianapolis Press. at 2165 North Pennsyl-
vania street, was partially destroyed yes
terday morning about 8 o'clock by fire,
which started from an overheated oil stove
in the bath room on the second floor. Mr..
Payne discovered the fire and attempted
to put 1t out by smothering it with a rug.
He was severely burned about the face.
He was taken to st. Vincent's Hospital.
where it was said the burns were not very
serious, though they would keep aim con-
fined for two or three days.
The loss on the furniture was about 500,
the salvage corps protecting ii very ma
terially. The house was badly damaged,
the roof being destroyed. The loss on the
building may reach 81. 500. There was a
blunder in calling the department. 1t first
the chemical was requested by telephone,
and the department lost about ten min

REPRESENTATIVE CLEM's VIEWS.
He FavCrs an Executive Mansion
Changes I'm Reform Law.


Changes I'm Reform Law.
Representative John D.. Glen, Of vigo
county, is one of the younger members of
the Legislature. He has pronounced ideas
on a number of matters and may introduce
some legislation bringing out these ideas.
He is not in favor of raising the Governors
salary, but wants the State to maintain a
residence for the chief executive. He is
not entirely satisfied with the township re-
form law passed at the last session of the
Legislature, and says the people of some
of the townships in his county are also
dissatisfied with it. 9TH township reform
law has not been entirely a success with
ter now that the advisory board
created by the law is elected by the
people. The first boards We had were APP
pointed by the judge of the Circuit Court,
and I know of instances where the ap-
pointments were made on the recommended
ton. of the trustees. OF course, in these
cases the members of the board were the
creatures OF these trustees. Besides, the
salary of a member of an advisory board
is So a year. / think there should be a
change in the law, making the salary at
least $50 a year. This would have a ten
dency TO make men feel that their salaries
were something more than a joke"
Representative Glenn is much interested in
the Terre Haute Normal, and Is anxious
for the Legislature to give the institution
an appropriation of sufficient size to pur-
chase an electric-lighting plant.

The rules of the Senate do not provide
for halliday sessions but Mr.. Gilbert says
he is i'm favor of holding them whenever 1T
is deemed necessary to give the commit
tees plenty of time in which to perform
their work. The Senate will convene Tues

usual order of business. The introduction
of bills is eighth in the order of business.

Committees an Opportunity to

SPEAKER ARTMAN'S POLICY
HE BELIEVES IN THE PHILOSOPHY
OF DAvY CROCKETT.
Policy That May BE Followed in the
Upper Body-LegisIative
Gossip.

Speaker Artman, of the House of Repre-
sentatives, said yesterday that he would
announce his committees on Tuesday or
Wednesday. He called attention to the fact
that it is no simple task to appoint the
number of committees required. There are
to be ~forty-seven committees in the House
and three joint committees. which will make
fifty in all. These committees average
about nine members each. The first man
selected on each committee acts as the
chairman.
81 am selecting the member of these
committees with a view to placing each
mar where he can best serve" said Speaker
Artman yesterday. o the Republican
side I know most of the members and of
course that is a great benefit to me in
making up the committees" On Friday
Speaker Artman announced before the ses-
sion adjourned in the morning that he de-
sired to see all the Democratic members
that afternoon in his room adjoining the
House. This led to a sensational story in
an afternoon paper that Mr.. Artman was
ignoring the Statesman men and inviting
the Democrats to come and see him. AS a
matter of fact the speaker invited the

could, by talking with them, ascertain
where best they could serve in committee
work.
HALLIDAY SESSIONS.
Unless the members of the House see
fit to do otherwise, there will be only half
day sessions for the first fourteen days.
House rule No. 70 says: 1.-The sessions of
the House shall convene at 9 a. m, and
o'clock p. m., each legislative day.. pro-
vided, however, that for the first fourteen
days. unless otherwise ordered. there shall
be but one session each day, beginning at
0 a. m" Speaker Artman says the pur-
pose Of this rule is to give the commit
tees a chance to work in the afternoon on
the bills introduced in the morning. For
the first several lays the bills will pre-
sumably come thick ard fast, and the com.
mittees will have all they can do to keep
up with the business. 1t is expected the
House will be prepared for the introduction
OF bills by Tuesday morning. Speaker Art
man says he is much impressed with the
body OF men who sit before him. He be-
lieves they will act with much wisdom on
the various things that will occupy their
attention. my policy will be to act with
great care on the different measures" said
the speaker, rather than TO act with haste
in an endeavor to dispose of a large guam
tity OF business. / am a great believer ~

you are right and then go ahead"
