WORKS BOARD SURPRISED.
1t Accepts an Offer of S512.50 for
wreckage of Old Iron Bridge.

When ]. NJ. Kaminsky submitted a bid
yesterday to remove the debris Of the
old Washington-street bridge, Offering to
pay the city $512.5O, the Board of Works
received a genuine surprise No such
favorable offer had been anticipated. The
board expected to pay out some Of the
cash of the city to get the wreckage re-
moved, and Mr.. Kaminskys offer caused
a ripple of pleasure to flow around the
dignified assemblage. 1t is evident that
the other wrecking companies that sub
mitted bids for the work had no idea that
any man or company would be willing
to pay the city anything, although the
specifications stated that the contractor
should take the old iron work as part
payment. The Indianapolis Wrecking Com
pany offered to do the work If the city
would pay it 1915; the Canton Bridge Com
pany, of Canton, o., submitted bid offer
ing to do the work for $500. By accepting
the offer of Mr.. Kaminsky the board saved
the city a good sum of money, since the
difference between the bid accepted and
the bid of the Canton Bridge Company was

MIGHT TAKE A CHANCE.
Fire Department in an Emergency
Would No Doubt Cross Old Bridge.

At the request of Fire Chief Coots the
Board Of Works will probably instruct City
Engineer Nelson to have barriers placed at
the entrances of the wooden bridge over
White river that may be removed easily in
case of emergency. such fire In the
western part of the city. The present bar
riers would cause the department lot Of
trouble. the chief stated to the board yes
terday, in case run should be attempted
across the bridge. Mr.. Nelson would not
agree to have barriers erected which could
be so easily demolished; but since the fire
chief has absolute power to use the bridge
with or without permission of the board,
the order will probably be issued. The
chief said yesterday that if the bridge
should be blocked so thoroughly that the
barriers could not be torn down, it would
be bad for West Indianapolis in case of a
big fire. Too much time would be lost by
the department, he said, in, going around
by way of the Kentucky avenue bridge or
the Michigan-street bridge. He wants the
board to have barriers built that will keep
traffic off the wooden bridge but which will
not be so heavy that they cannot be re-
moved quickly by his men if necessary.

of Samuel Stephenson against DR." John

Christian Catholic Church and self-pro-
claimed Elijah H." to recover $1S5.OOO al
legged 70 have been fraudulently obtained
from Stephenson. Attorney Reeves. for
Stephenson, after a conference with Judge
Tuley, asked the court to be allowed to file
an amended bill of complaint. This move
was strenuously fought by Dowie's attor-
neys, who maintained that inasmuch as
derogative statements had been made
against Dowie, the court should rule that
Dowie be eXonerated the original bill
The bill as amended so modifies the original
allegations that the claim of fraud is prac-
tically withdrawn The petition asks that
the contracts made with Dowie be set aside
on the ground of undue influence, alleging
that Dowie is head of the church and ex-
acts obedience from its members On the
other hand, the bill asks that in case the
court does not view this procedure as Just

TEA AND BEER TAXES.
Reduction to BE Considered by the
Ways and Means Committee.

WASHINGTON, Jan. a.-The Republican
members of the ways and means committee
to-day decided to begin consideration of
the bill reducing the war revenue taxes,
and after conference attended by all of
the Republican members of the committee
Chairman Payne gave out the following
statement:
1.-The Republican members of the COM
mittee ways and means met to-day, and
have taken up the subject of the war rev.
enue. They decided to have a hearing be-
fore the full committee on Monday, the
9th inst, on the question respecting the
duty on tea and the war revenue taxes on
beer. They will hear the people interested
in the subject of the duty on tea at 10
o clock in the morning, and those interest
ed in the subject of taxation of beer at
o'clock in the afternoon. There will be no
further hearings"
Some significance was attached to the
restriction of the hearings to tea and beer,
but ii was explained that these were the
only interests which had asked for hear
ngs. The desire of the beer interests is to
take off go cents from the SLIGO per barrel
now levied on beer, thus bringing the rate
TO 81, where it stood prior TO the Spanish
war. The total reduction in revenues of
this item would be 81, 900. The reduction
on tea would aggregate about IS, 000, 900.

Philippine Tariff Bill Before the Sem

FrankinG Privilege.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-The legislative
programme which is slowly forming in
Congress puts a vote on the question of
Cuban reciprocity off until late spring or
early summer. The Philippine tariff debate,
which may last for month. will bring to
the front a full party discussion of all
phases of the Eastern question. After this
will come the shipping subsidy and then
the canal bill Possibly the order will be
reversed. Both of these bills will take con-
siderable time in the Senate. The canal bill
is expected to develop a prolonged struggle
as to the choice of routes. The friends of
the canal now are fearing a legislative
deadlock this point. These debates will
carry the session along into the spring.
when the Cuban reciprocity question may
be taken up if other matters do not inter-
vene. In the meantime the sugar and to-
bacco questions are being fought in the
House committee. The President is deter
mined to make a strong showing in Con-
gress at this time for reductions in tariff
favorable to the Cubans. He has sent for
Tasker II. Bliss, the chief fiscal officer Of
Cuba. who will make an argument for the
islanders. Whether the House will decide
on the Cuban policy after these hearings
is problematical. 1t may reduce it's view
to potential legislation at once, or it may
wait until the Senate is nearer the ques-
ton. In either event the real settlement
must wait on the Senate, for if the House
comes to a decision it may expect radical
Senate revision. The policy which inf1u-
ences this action is based on the conviction
that 1t is not wise to negotiate Cuban
treaties when certain sections of the coun-
try are inflamed over possible reductions.
After two three months have elapsed
the excitement will subside and in its place
will be the sober common sense of the peo-
pie. BY that time the Cuban government
will have been established and Congress
will know better how to get at the reci-
procity proposition. In short, it is only the
skirmish which the sugar and tobacco
