New Concerns.

When the Taisey Pneumatic Service Com
pany completes its organization by filing
articles of incorporation with the secretary
of state. and selects a site for building its
factory Indianapolis will have added to its
long list of industries a new one with large
capital. III. l.. Frazier. secretary and
treasurer of the new company, took its ar
ticles TO the Statehouse yesterday for the
purpose of filing them, but they were found
defective in a minor particular and will
have to be rewritten. The new company
will i'm short time begin to manufacture
on a large scale store service appliances un-
der patents granted +. r. Taisey. and by
him transferred to the company, of which
he is vice president.
MIR. Taisey was connected with the Lam
son Consolidated Store Service Company
for tyenty-one years. The device invented
by him includes the carrying of parcels as
we'll as cash from all parts of a store to
central point, also of manuscript or copy
from point TO point in newspaper offices.
Secretary Frazier says that plants equipped
with the Taisey appliances can be installed
at saving of 80 per cent. in operating eX
penses to the owner Mr.. Taisey is now in
St. Louis figuring on a large contract there.
The new company has $4,000 OF business
with which 10 begin operating its plant
when completed.
Not only will a factory be started in this
city, but the new company Will open branch
offices in all large cities of the country.
Back of the new enterprise are some of the
most substantial capitalists and business
men in Indiana, as shown by the list of
directors, which includes: MAJOR Collins,
formerly president of the Central Iron and
Steel Company, of Brazil. and of the In
diana Car and Foundry Company. of In

urer of the G. p. Losh Paper Company.
The officers of the company are: President,
Major Collins, of Brazil; vice president, r
r. Taisey Indianapolis: secretary and
treasurer. III. l.. Frazier, indianapolis. The
company is capitalized at 100000.
significant fact about this latest addi-
lis is that many of the men interested in it
are men who were formerly owners or part
owners of industries which were absorbed
by trusts. 1t is taken as a striking evidence
of the stability of financial conditions in
Indianapolis that this large amount of
wealth should seek Indiana's capital for in
vestment. THE present rate of investment

AN AWFUL Legal TUMBLE
TWENTY-FIVE WITNESSES HEARD IN
THE CHANDLER SUIT.
A Lively Day In Justice smock's
-COurtroom-Motfon and Counter
Motions Made Quickly.

Twenty-Five witnesses were heard yes
terday in Justice Shocks court in the re-
plevin suit brought by Archie Chandler
against r. l.. Springsteen and L. o. Cor
don, managers OF the Decoration day road
race. for possession of the place and time
prize bicycles offered to successful con-
testants. The case was continued at 5
o'clock. to be taken up at 9 o'clock this
morning. and the constables were given
a number of new subpoenas for service.
The courtroom was crowded to suffocation,
and the wrangles between the lawyers en-
livened things throughout the day. The
lawyers relied much upon reciprocal favors.
but these did not materialize to any great
extent Motions and objections galore
were made. asking for all sorts of rulings
and at o'clock another motion was pre-
scented. but not considered. because of clos
ing time. Most of the motions presented
were overruled
Chandler testified in his own behalf, say
ing that he had been told at Broad Rip
pie that ne was sixteenth in the race when
passing there, and that afterward he
passed several groups Of riders, whom he
did not notice. paying all his attention
TO riding. He said he was told at Allison
Vile that he was in the lead there. There
were many witnesses who testified as to
the condition of the crossroads which it
was claimed Chandler took TO secure the
lead The Substance of this testimony was
that the roads were more billy than the
course, and on account of rain and ruts
We're almost impossible. number of wit
nesses testified to having seen Chandler
go through Allisonville. Witnesses agreed
mat a bicycle rider could have made better
time by keeping to the course than by
taking to one of the crossroads for d
"short cut"
There are a number of legal propositions
in connection with the case which are adj
mitted problems. One IS as TO the right
of Chandler TO bring such a suit. A mo-
ton to throw the case out of court
overruled. Another question is to the
liability OF r. +. Springsteen. whose con-
nectiOn with the case resulted from his
permitting the display of prizes to be made
In his window.

HENRY RAUH RETURNS
COMES BACK TO AMERICA IN
PRESSED WITH ITS MAGNITUDE.
He Says Foreigners Reluctantly Admit
This Country's Present Com
mercial Supremacy.

Henry Rauh, of the firm of z. Rauh &
Sons Company. this city, has just returned
from a business trip to England and Ger
many. and comes home more than ever
impressed with the greatness of his own
country-America. lie says that English
and Germans have also awakened to this
fact. Il find that they have been asleep
in Germany and England" he said yester-
day, but have suddenly awakened to the
fact that America is the greatest country
on the face of the globe. They have be-
gun to recognize the supremacy of our
commercial tactics and they recognize the
energy we display in whatever we do. The
trouble with the Englishman is that he
mixes sports and amusements generally
with his business. sort of jealousy seems
to exist on the part of English and Ger
man manufacturers toward Americans. The
latter have taken a good share of bust
ness away from English and Germans BY
virtue of American energy and push"
Mr.. Rauh says he met two or three Amer
leans who were on their way TO England
to establish factories in the neighborhood
or Manchester for the manufacture of
agricultural implements These establish.
ments will employ American labor. Mr..
Rauh says the ordinary laooring man In
England and Germany does not accomplish
as much in eight hours as the American la
borer will in six hours.
The school system in Germany" said
Mr.. Rauh, lis superior to the educational
system in the United States. They have
the compulsory system there, which pre-
walls everywhere and as a result about
9S1z per cent. of German inha btants can
read and write. II We should adopt the
compulsory education system generally in
this country all the world could not out
rank us. Our children, l believe, are nat
uraly smarter than the children of any
ether country.
Mr.. Rauh says that business men and
manufacturers are coming over here from
England<and Germany TO quietly study the
industrial situation in this country and TO
find out what il is that is bringing success
to the American manufacturer. The Ger
mans are especially active in the hives

FUNDS FOR A FACTORY.
An Effort to BE Made 10 Furnish En-
pIoymcnt tn Blind women

The discussion of plans for raising funds
for the establishment of a large factory for
the employment Of blind women was the
principal business before the Indiana
Association for the Progressive Education
OF the Blind yesterday. 1t was thought that
much of the money could be raised by the
issuance OF bonds. A suggestion that the
Legislature at the next session be asked
for an appropriation met with opposition
from many of the members. who thought
a factory could be made self-sustaining and
even profitable from the output of those
given employment.
In addition 10 the discussion an ENJOYABLE
musical programme was rendered and
there were papers by Louis Bechtold of
Fort Wayne. Charles Carpenter Miss Cora
Smith OF Columbus. Miss Susie Patterson
of indianapolis and DR.. Harriet Turner OF
Indianapolis.
A banquet last night closed the session.
