M'ABEE'S RECOMMENDATIONS.
Change at Industrial school for Girls
and Woman's Prison.

State Factory Inspector McAbee has COM
pleted and forwarded to Mrs. John b.
Elan, president of the board of managers
OF the Indiana Industrial School for Girls
and Women's Prison, his recommendations
Tor certain changes in the operation of
the institution. The inspector recommends
the placing of a watchwoman on each floor
above the first; also the furnishing of fire
or smoke stops in the corridors near each
landing. He further suggests the aban-
comment of the fourth floor for use as
sleeping apartments. The inspector doubts
his authority 70 order watchwomen in this
institution, but thinks that, inasmuch as
hotels required by the factory inspec-
ton law 10 keep watchmen, a state insti-
tuition ought TO be as carefully guarded Mr..
McAbee also recommends additional fire
escape for the prison, the escape to con-
sist OF iron balconies three feet wide, TAX
ing in the middle windows on the east side
OF the south wing on the west side of the
building TO the third floor taking in the
window on that floor. He says II these i'm
structions complied with, and he has
no doubt they will be- the institution will
be in excellent condition as regards pre-
cautions against danger from an outbreak
of fire.

gramme rendered last night were many
classic pieces The work of the first year
students was such to cause surprise and
admiration from those in the large audi
ence. The singing Of Miss Nellie Clark a
small girl. showed sweetness and power
that is seldom equaled by older vocalist.
Her first piece. Spanish Gypsies," was
given so we'll that she was forced to re-
spond 10 an encore and gave Nevin's
Rosary" The work of Alphonso Burrows,
as organist. showed much skill. Louis Mar
tin gave several selections on the piano that
were greatly enjoyed

A SPECIAL ELECTION.
to Succeed John VI. Hig-
gins to he Elected.

After consultation with City Attorney
Kern, Mayor Taggart has decided to call
special election to fill the vacancy in the
Council, due to the conviction of John NJ.
Higgins.
In announcing his decision yesterday the
mayor said he did not know just when he
would issue his call, nor what day the cleo
ton would be set for, but it is generally ex-
pected that the call will be issued within
the next few days. The Supreme Court
handed down its decision refusing TO grant
Higgins a new trial a week ago yesterday
but the decision has not yet been certified
down 10 the Criminal Court. 1t is popularity
supposed that the vacancy in the Council
occurred the moment the Supreme Court
handed down its decision, and as the law
provides that the call for an election must
be issued within ten days after the vacancy
occurs Mayor Taggart would have to issue
the call not later than Thursday. The may
or says. however, that the ten days limit
begins from the time the decision is certi-
fled down to the Criminal Court and pro-
poses to act on that theory. The election
must be held not less than twenty-five or
more than forty days after the call.
The cost of the election, according to City
Controller Johnson will be between $500 and
$500.
