NEEDLESS TORTURE, THIS.
WORN OUT CAR TRACKS AT THE GRAND
CIRCLE CAUSE RACKET WHICH
PREVENTS SLEEP.

People living in the neghborhood of the Grand
Circle. at the junction of Broadway. Eghth-ave.
and Fifty -ninth-st, are up in arms against the
Metropolitan Railroad Company. They say that
because of the ruts in the tracks at this point
the racket of jOting wheels at all hours of
the day and night has become utterly unendur-
able. On the other hand, the noises which have
attended the construction of the rapid transit
subway through the circle and in either drec-
tion in Broadway have caused much discomfort
but little complaint. All who have watched
the work of excavation realize that some noise
is inevitable and must he endured. Then. again
in the dead of night the laborers in the subway
suspend work and there is quiet in the big
trench
But the humping and humping Of the surface
cars as their wheels jolt over intersecting tracks
continue day and night. Those who have
amined the tracks only cursorily say that this
condition of things is ineXcusabe. and that a
remedy the evil.
Three double tracks cross at the Grand Circle
one is the Crosstown line. just south Of the
Columbus Monument; a second is the Eighth
line. which curves around the monument
and the third is the Broadway line, running di-
agonally past il.
An examination Of these tracks which was
made yesterday by Tribune reporter dis
closed the fact that the noise complained of is
caused by the bad crossing of the Eighth have
and Fifty-nnth-st. lines. The wheels here
have worn deep grooves in the intersecting rails
over which the cars jolt as If running over stony
ground. The condition of these tracks, It
found. had not been caused by the subway
Cavation, since the latter is thirty feet or more
distant Furthermore the interseCtinE tracks
which are over the excavation have been laid so
evenly that passing over them shaken

DEATH RETURNS IMPORTANT.
Are often i'm Demand I'm Law
suits-A Recent Case.

at Is surprising that people cannot be
made to understand the Importance of
the death returns that are sent In from
counties in all parts of Indiana TO the
State Board of Health" said Captain An
derson. clerk of the vital statistics depart
ment of the Health Board. yesterday.
Scarcely a day passes that we do not re-
ceive requests for copies of these returns
from people who wish to use them In law
suits. in settling up estates or in obtaining
pensions. The death returns ought. of
course, TO be written legibly and in ink, but
we receive a great many that have been
written with lead pencil and that are so
ilegible that often we cannot decipher the
name Of the deceased. Only the other day
we received a call for one Of these certifi-
Gates from a man who wanted TO use IL in
settling up an estate in Germany belonging
to a man that died i'm Indiana some time
ago. i understand that in Germany they
have death returns running back several
hundred years. We in Indiana began TO
keep such a record as recently as October,
1899. less than two years ago. II seems TO
me we ought to start right and nave these
certificates in perfect shape.
There is a rule of the State Board of
Health that requires that no burial permit
be issued for a corpse unless the death GER
tifcate shall have been made out in proper
form and In ink writing. but this rule is
often disregarded. / hope that the people
who are interested in this matter-physi-
clans. coroners. health officers and under
takcrs-will make up their minds 10 CO.
operate with the State Board of Health, TO
may be kept. one that will be valuable for
all time To come.

Mayor Taegart Takes Charge Of
Affairs and Makes Charles Ma
guire "the" Candidate.
BELL MADE A MISTAKE
SAID o lis HONOR" HIS NAME
WOULD BE ON TICKET.
List of Candidates Will Close This
Observation-Disclosures and Lit
tie for Police Judge.

The petitions of Joseph T.. Bell and John
w. Hoffman are to be withdrawn from
the chairman of the Democratic city com
mittee this morning. and the race for the
Democratic nomination for mayor will be
made by Charles Mcguire, the new ma
chine" candidate, and William f. Moore.
the leader of the anti-administration Demo-
Gratis.
This new arrangement was completed to
the satisfaction of the Democratic mana
gers last night. The time of speculation is
over, as no further petitions with the
names of candidates can be filed after IL
o'clock this morning, the law providing
that no petition shall be received within
ten days of the date of the primaries. If
Mr.. Bells statement had been accepted
the Journal would not have been able to
publish his withdrawal this morning, as he
stated ION his honor to it's representative
last night that. his name would not be
withdrawn" and that "any story to the
contrary was untrue" Within a half hour
Mayor Taggart assured the same repre-
sentative of the Journal that the names of
both Mr.. Bell and Mr.. Hoffman would be
withdrawn and that the race would be be-
tween Mcguire and Moore.
On Wednesday afternoon the Democratic
managers were in the slough of despond,
but before twelve hours had elapsed their
troubles were forgotten. The magic change
ir conditions was attributable to the fact
that Taggart's disgust or amusement at the
dilemma into which the city committee had
worked itself had overcome his resolution
to keep his hands off the nomination. With
in three hours Mr.. Taggart had arranged
a meeting and Wednesday night at the
Grand Hotel the name of Mcguire was
added to the list of Democratic candidates
for the nomination for mayor.
The mere fact that Taggart had a finger
in. the pie aroused all the dormant en-
thusiasm Of the "machinists," and yester-
day they doomed Maguires candidacy with
tration candidate. IL is noticed, however,
that the new supply of enthusiasm is fur
nished entirely by those who dance when
Mr.. Taggart plays. The anti-machtne
Democrats are more dissatisfied with Ma
guire than they were with Bell. They point
out the fact that Bells weak spot was his
well-known connection with the Taggart
machine. why will the people then support
Maguire?" asked a Democrat last night.
Everybody knows that he is a hundred
times closer TO Taggart than Bell. He has
been connected with his administration
ever since Taggart was first elected
mayor" Mcguire is at the present time a
member of the Board of Public Works, and
during Taggart's first two terms was a
member of the Board of Safety.
The name of Luke Walpole will be certi-
fled to Chairman Tanning this morning as
a candidate for police judge. His petition
has been signed by Austin Brown. w. O..
Beck. Daniel Monninger, Michael OBrien
and Sherman Steele. Edward w. Little has
been mentioned as the administration can
didate for the place.

Mr.. M'ABEE HAS A PLAN
STATE ON
BRINGING FACTORIES HERE.
Would Have Real Estate Men Form n
Company to Build and
Sell Plants.

State Factory Inspector McAbee has read
with interest the statements I'm newspapers
recently concerning efforts hat are to be
made TO secure the location of new fac
tories in Indianapolis, and has done con-
siderable thinking on the subject on his
own account. He said yesterday that he
believed he had devised a feasible plan for
bringing factories TO a city without giving
bonuses in cash or free sites.
~ do not want to be placed I'm the posi-
ton of suggesting a visionary scheme" he
said, but l want to give my idea Of how
the city might secure factories without
the necessity of bestowing cash bonuses
or giving free sites. My plan is this: To
have the real-estate men and merchants of
Indianapolis form a stock company and
raise any sum or money that the members
may choose, the larger the better, then
build plants according to the plans of men
who will guarantee to operate them and
buy them on the installment plan. l would
fix the price Of a plant at a sum sufficient
to bring TO the stockholders of the de-
velopment company a fair dividend on the
money they have invested.
There are many men," continued Mr..
McAbee. "who would agree to operate
plants, but who are not able TO build for
themselves, chiefly because they cannot
afford TO abandon the plants they already
own where they are now located. / think
my plan could be followed out To excellent
advantage I'm the case of a window glass
plant. a bottle house or a rolling mill. The
development company should be controlled
by a committee or a president, who should
be men that have been successful in bust
ress, and then. before a plant is construct
cd, the or president should sat
isfy themselves that IL could be operated
at "A fair profit.
"AS fast as "A manufacturer would paw a
part of the purchase price OF his plant the
money could. If desired, be reinvested in
another new plant, either large or small.
The stockholders should, of course. be
the merchants and real-estate men of the
city, for they could thus reap a double
dividend from their investment, not only in
their stock i'm the development company.

and the commodities i'm which they deal.
Suppose that one factory could be secured
that would pay out a sum ranging from

Il believe this plan would be found bet
ter than bonuses o. any other plan that has
been suggested. / am not sure. but |
think il has been tried with success in
other places. II is certainly far superior
