THE DRAMATIC CLUB PLAY.
A Remarkably Clever Performance
Given Last Night.

The entertainment given by the Dramatic
Club last evening was pronounced by those
present to be one of the best in the his
tory or the organization. The play pre-
sented was John Kendrick Bangs's amusing
little farce. "A Dramatic Evening"" The
committee in charge, Mr. and Mrs. Clifford
Arrick, Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Grover and
Miss Mile Colgan, assisted by Mr.. Nc
Gibeny and Mr.. Sam Miller, took the sew
eral roles. Just as Mr.. and Mrs Thad-

Mrs. Bradley Miss Colganl, a woman of

(Sam Miller), and Baron Won Berlitz (Mr.
McGfbeny), amiable villains. These peo-
pie proceeded to arrange the house for an
amateur dramatic performance according
10 previous arrangement forgotten by the
Perkinses. A casual reader OF the Bangs
play would hardly discover the action that
the curtain rose until IL fell the Perkins
home was in a whirl of excitement, and
the audience in a corresponding state of
amusement. All the parts were well taken.
MRS. Arrick, as a woman who struggled to
be polite to her guests while her bric-a -brac
was being destroyed, and Miss CoIgan ami
mated by the stern purpose of arranging
the room at whatever cost, sustained their
roles admirably. Mr.. Grover, Mr. Miller
and Mr.. McGibeny showed distinct talent

dianapolis. During that year Mr.. Rohback
was elected as one of the faculty of the
Indiana Law School. being also appointed
secretary of that body. In the time THAI
he has been In this city he has acted as
the business manager OF the Law School,
and since the death of Mr.. Fishback he
has virtually been the dean of the school.
His ability in filing the duties of that of
fice caused the trustees TO unanimously
elect him to the place.
Another matter before the trustees was
the appointment of four persons to vacan-
cies on the board, only one of which WAS
filled. tho. appointee being John r. Wilson.
A committee, composed of John r. Will
son, Hilton u. Brown and DR.. G. T.. Hunt,
was appointed TO consider the matter of
filling the three remaining vacancies. The
appointment of c successor TO Allen Nj.
Fletcher as president of the board was
discussed informally, but no definite con-
clusion was reached. The reports of the
different departments of the university
show a substantial increase in the attend

A JULY ELOPEMENT.
As N Result of Ii Minnie Brooks Seeks
the Courts Aid.

An elopement in July last seems 70
have been the cause OF an estrange-
ment between father and daughter, and
a replevin suit in Justice Shocks court
yesterday. Minnie Brooks, seventeen
years of age. brought suit in replevin
against her father. James c. Ayres, and
Austin Jones. who lives with him. She
demanded possession of one sewing ma
chine, which cost 81. two rugs which
were purchased on the installment plan,
two tables which cost 9S cents each, an
old dress skirt and one suit of under
wear. The evidence showed that she had
eloped in July last, going to Cincinnati
to be married, not being able to secure
the consent of her father TO marry She
said she had not been TO see her father
since that time. except for the purpose Of
getting her things, which were refused
her. The case occupied several hours,
causing much amusement TO witnesses:
The arguments were concluded about 8
o'clock, and the case taken under ad-
visement. One who had heard all the
evidence said at the conclusion: Both
OF them ought to be spanked with a hot
shovel" and there were no dissenting
opinions.

A SOLDIERS POLL TAX.
There Is Some Dispute to Whether
LOrenx Gregory Should Pay Ii.

There is small controversy on over the
poll tax of an arsenal soldier. The matter
has been before the county officers on for
mer occasions and it was thought it had
been settled, but the old question came up
again yesterday in the county auditors
office. Lorenz Gregory, a soldier at the
arsenal, received a notice from County
Treasurer Koehne, who is at this time
pressing all delinquents, notifying him that
unless his poll tax and the assessments on
his property are paid his goods will be
levied upon. The soldier came to the audi
tors office yesterday and asked Deputy
Shepard why he was charged so much. He
did not resist the payment, but thought the
figures were excessive, and questioned the
necessity of paying poll tax when he is
soldier and had never voted.
Gregory is married and has home out
side the arsenal grounds. but his time is
spent, with the exception of one day each
month, on United States territory. and he
lives under the military law. 1t is the COM
mon law that If poll tax is collectable the
citizen is allowed to vote. 1t is said that
Gregory was a resident OF this State when
he enlisted and this fact alone entities him
TO vote, the fourth section of the Con-
stitution of Indiana provides that NO per-
son shall be deemed to have lost his resi-
uenCc III state Dy T0dSOn VI HIS dDSeDCe
either in business OF tits State or of the
United States" Another provision of the
Constitution says that residence cannot
be acquired by soldiers in consequence of
having been. stationed in the State, but as
Gregory has always lived here this exemp-
ton does not apply TO him and he has
right to vote. The soldiers at the arsenal
have never voted and IL any come under
the provisions of the Indiana Constitution
they have been deprived OF their suffrage
AS to the legality of assessing poll tax
there have been as many opinions as there
are sides to the question. 1t is the common
understanding that when soldier enlists
in the army he ceases to become citizen
of any State. but becomes citizen OF the
United States, in order that he may be
taken from one State to another or en-
tirely out of the United States. Thus, the
matter of suffrage is left 70 the discretion
OF the States, and the soldiers at the arse
nal who have a residence have right TO
vote under the provisions OF the Indiana
Constitution. AS to the question OF poll tax,
a number OF leading attorneys in Indian
apolis who were consulted were of the
unanimous opinion that poll tax cannot be
collected from Gregory.
Auditor Smith was not In the ONCE yes
terday and the matter was postponed until
he is consulted. and Treasurer Koehne
promised 10 not push the collection until
a decision Is made in the case.

THE SEEDS OF DISEASE.
Health Officers Make n Discovery In
Irvington.

DR.. Ridpath, secretary of the Marion
County Board of Health, accompanied by
DR.. y. j. Perrell. health officer of Irving
ton. made thorough investigation, yes
terday afternoon, into the causes for the
sickness of Butler students. The health Of
hcers were very painstaking in their in
vestigation and DR. Ridpath said last night
that as the disease was typhoid fever it
must have had a local origin. He and Dr.
Perrell went over the ground where the
sick students boarded in Irvington, and
found that an old sewer three or four
squares long which was connected with
several houses and also with Mrs. Aliens
boarding house, empued about forty feet
from the rear Of the boarding house onto
the open ground. In none of the houses
examined could there be found any devises
used for shutting off sewer gas which
naturally would be generated. Or. Ridpath
was astonshed. he says, that the health
board allowed the contents OF the sew r
To be emptied onto the open ground. and
said that II IL Is not resnedied and the
houses arranged so the sewer gas can b.
shut off, IL will play havoc with the stu
dents of the college and the residents of
the suburb living in the vicinity.
