PARK BOARDS PLANS.


People will have a chance to listen to
the band in the parks this summer. Com
missioner Coffin came forward at the meet
ing Of the Park Board yesterday with a
plan hat will likely be adopted by the
board. He said he thought it would be a
good thing if visitors could listen to band
music in at least two parks every Sunday
during the hot months. The bands could
play at Brookside and Riverside parks one
Sunday and at Garfield and Military parks
the next Sunday; or the plan could be ar
ranged in any form of alienation the
board thought best. Since music forms no
small part of the attractiveness of the
parks when the thermometer is UP in the
nineties, the park commissioners are in
favor OF providing as many bands as the
finances will permit.
Commissioner King suggested that the
public be given an opportunity TO battle at
Riverside Park. and that a building of some
sort be put up on the river bank at a suit
able place. The river at Eighteenth street
has a smooth. sandy bottom, the commits
sioner said, and would be the most availa-
bic spot. The building could be used as a
dressing room, and with a man and a
woman in charge, towels could be furnished
the public at a very small charge.
The board decided 10 push the completion
of the shelter house at Garfield Park. This
masonry and stone work have been com
pleted and the contract for the iron work
was awarded yesterday to j. d. Hoss for
S7,O9S.

Lively Debate-A Former Teacher
Visits the Institution.

The last session of the Shortridge High

held yesterday afternoon and was d very
interesting one, being exceedingly lively
and characterized by a good deal of rough
house" Senator. Pritchard's Carl Pritch-
ard bill to not allow a State which dis
franchises its voters representation in Con-
gress was read for the second time and
the discussion opened by its author, who
made a good speech in behalf of his bill.
The measure also found a champion in the
person of Senator Butler albert Burns.)
He delivered a short address in favor of
the bill. The senator from Kentucky
Charles Christian) next gained the floor
and in his usual convincing manner spoke
for the passage of the measure. He was
followed by a Southern senator Crank
Doudican). who delivered a strong argu-
ment against the bill. The latter based his
argument on the theory that the negro is
not capable of exercising the right of suf-
frage.
AT the conclusion of the Georgia mans
speech the fair Senator Mcdonald Gaura
Potter took the floor in favor of the bill.
1t is unusual for the girl members of the
body To take a very active part in the
proceedings, and the speech OF Senator
Mcdonald was well received by the gallery.
Things were not lively enough for certain
members OF the body, and word was passed
through the Senate that something had
better be started" Hence a senator soon
arose and informed the body tina a tele-
gram had just been received from the Pres
ident and should be read at once. The mes
sage proved TO De a wish from the chief
Easter. After a good deal of hot air. the
body adjourned.

". A. WYCKOFF'S LECTURE
UNIVERSITY MAN, ONCE A LABORER,
TALKED ON "CHARITY."
iscusse the Matter Historically and
scientifically, with Slight
Personal Reference.

Walter A. wyckof, a professor in Prince
ton University, was a lecturer of special
and personal interest at the ~Propylaeum
last night. He came in the course of the
lectures on social science given under the
management of the University of Chicago.
He is known TO the general public through
his magazine articles describing his expert
ences as an unskilled laborer in various
parts of the country. He said last night
that when he returned to his university after
his wanderings and experiments his friends
dubbed him Weary" But it was not his
purpose to again narrate his submersion in
the ARM of the internationally employed,
and he did not appear as a horrible exam
pie" Rather he was the typical scientist,
with an easy manner and a careful accent
that fitted evening dress, and was far from
the jumper and overalls.
Mr.. Wyckoff's subject was THE Social
Effects of Charity and he began with the
changing definitions Of the word charity"
In the feudal days, when the baron and
the various classes of dependents formed a
close corporation, there was slight pauper
ism, because the needy went directly TO
their master for relief. When the era of
economic freedom began and developed into
the factory system pauperism increased
proportionately. The press of the pauper
condition resulted in the state adopting
measures to support the paupers when be-
fore it had punished them as criminals.
Mr.. Wyckoff recommended that the the
cries Of the Malthusian, the Socialist, the
Prohbitionist and other reformers of diff
ferent schools be not accepted individually.
Pauperism, he said, came from many, not
one source. The Malthusian idea that hu-
man propagation was too rapid for food
production was as inadequate as the Social
lists theory that collective ownership of
property and utilities would solve the prob
lem. He pointed out that the situation was
slowly being relieved by isolation of differ
ent kinds Of paupers. Children were being
raised in industrial schools and the aged,
the insane and the epileptic were being seq
regated. The world had profted, he said.
by the preservation of its paupers. for so it
had learned foresight and had been in
structed-by examination of the incapable
in the science of prevention. The subdiyi-
sions OF this science-medicine. surgery.
and. latterly, bacteriOlogy-thus arose. The
theory Of some biologists, Herbert Spencer
conspicuously, that cutting off the defective
persons by exposing them to the struggle
and abetting the survival Of the fttest, 4"
was thus refuted.

VISIT OF FORMER TEACHER.
Mr.. A. L. DOty, of New York, Spends
Day at Shortridge.

Mr.. A. I. Doty, who was at one time a
member of the Shortridge High School
faculty, and one of the most popular teach
ers in the school, paid a visit to Shortridge
yesterday. He is now instructor of Latin
in the De Witt Clinton High School, New
York city, and this is his first visit t, In
dianapolis since ne removed TO his present
residence. Mr.. Doty will return home to-
day.
Mr.. Doty left the Shortridge High School
in 1899, and there have been many changes
since that time. II see many new faces"
said he. but find that same excellent spirit
which characterized the school when / was
here, and which has always been a part of
the Shortridge school, Mr.. Doty talked
very interestingly of the high schools in
New York city. There are three schools of
the kind, one for boys, one for girls, and
school is allowed to choose the one he de-
sires to attend. The pupils in the New
York schools are of an entirely different
class than those in our schools. The
scholars in the former city are largely from
the foreign element and il is very hard 10
instruct them in such subjects as Latin. be-
cause they cannot speak English very well.
Mr.. Doty remained at the school all morn

" has changed somewhat since he was
here. Although living a long distance from

Arrest Without Observation-Disclosures

The question of the right Of an officer TO
make an arrest without a warrant is one
that is constantly coming up for the courts

Supreme Court OF New York il is held that
q police officer cannot arrest for a misde-
meanOr without a warrant, unless IL was
committed In his presence. Nor can he
make an arrest for a misdemeanor without
a warrant on his own suspicion or hearsay.

TO believe committed il. IA New York Sup
