PHYSIO-MEDICAL DOCTORS.
Annual Meeting of the State Associa-
ton in Progress.

Men who believe that cayenne pepper is a
better stimulant than whisky in cases of
illness and who assert that the after eff
fects are not harmful are holding a session
at the Denison Hotel. OF course, their treat
ment Of disease is not entirely confined 10
pepper. They are all doctors and they be-
Ions to what is known as the physio-medi-
cal chool Of medicine. This is the f~ortieth
anniversary OF the Indiana Physio-medical
Association, of which G.. II. Smith, of
Greensboro, is president. The vice presi-
dent Is A. r. Harold. of Indianapolis, and
the secretary and treasurer is n. w.
Fisher, of this city.
The sessions Of the association began
yesterday afternoon and are being held in
the Century clubroom. An interesting
paper was read yesterday on THE Care of
Young Children" The paper was by N. +.
Harold, of this city. Another paper was by
DR.. Elizabeth Roberts. of Connersville. in
which she described a case she had treated.
During the discussion the question of the
use of cayenne pepper came up, and the
trend of talk indicated that the physio-
meds are great believers in it's virtues.
The association will meet again this morn
ing at 9 o'clock.

CLEAN-STREET CRUSADE
MERCHANTS WILL BE PROSECUTED
FOR VIOLATING ORDINANCE.
Mayor BookwaIter and Major Megrew
Make n Tour of AIIeys-Mu-
nicipaI Affairs.

Street cleaning was the main topic OF city
officials yesterday. The subject called for a
days work on the part of Mayor Book
walter and Chairman Megrew. of the Board
of Public Works, and incidentally a pill
grimage. They took up the subject early
in the day, and as one of their first con-
illusions came an order TO Rust, Kenning-
ton & Co, street-sprinkling contractors,
TO begin their work tomorrow morning.
The firm has divided the city into forty
districts. and work on all will begin to-
morrow. The contract calls for three
sprinklings each day on most streets and
two each day except Saturday. when three
are to be made, on the rest. The contract
also calls for sprinkling downtown i'm
proved streets.
The second result of the work was an or
der 10 flush all downtown alleys. This is
a new scheme. Flushing the streets has
been frequent, but not before has this
method of cleaning the alleys been at
tempted. Mr.. Megrew says he thinks it
will be Of great assistance in reducing the
amount of dirt that reaches the streets
from alleys which cannot be thoroughly
cleaned with sweepers.
While discussing alleys the mayor and
Mr.. Megrew reached the conclusion that
business houses down town were, by neg
ligence in putting their sweepings in al
leys, one of the principal causes of the
presence of small rubbish in the streets.
In order to demonstrate for their own sat-
isfaction the truth Of this they spent three
hours in the afternoon examining the al
leys. They found some business men COM
planning of the dirt in the streets, but an
inspection of the alley in the rear of their
places of business showed that they were
habitually putting rubbish and sweepings
in the alleys. In some places they found
large boxes of paper in the alleys, and the
eddying wind was whisking them out of the
boxes and out into the streets. In the
rear of one newspaper office a crate con-
tanning excelsior in loose form was left
and the wine was carrying the straws half
a block away. Many places were visited,
and the mayor and Mr.. Megrew agreed
that il would be necessary TO take drastic
measures to keep the streets clean. Ac-
notified Superintendent Taffe to instruct
the patrolmen, and, if necessary, to provide
a special detail, TO inspect daily business
places and TO take into custody any store
keeper or merchant who was guilty of
throwing dirt or rubbish in the streets or
alleys.
1.-The streets are as clean now" said Mr..
Megrew, las IT Is possible to sweep them.
If the merchants will cooperate with the
rubbish in the proper way We can keep
them clean. OF course, people must con-
slider the unusual high winds in the last
month, which bring from the crevices and
the roofs of buildings whatever dirt is ac-
cumulated there and scatter it about"

Mayor BoOkwa1ter Urgent About the
Freight Rate Question.

Mayor is Fastening the fix
ing of a schedule of interurban freight rates
and it may be the schedule will be adopted
by the Union Traction Company before the
week passes. The mayor called c. w. Nc
CURE, assistant TO President McCulloch,
over the long-distance telephone yesterday
and notified him that the Union Company
must adopt a schedule Immediately or
cease freight business with other cities in
its system, which is a discrimination
against indianapolis shippers. Mr.. MCGUIRE
said he would visit the city to-day and take
up the subject with the mayor.
From the company's basis the solution of
the freight question seems to be a serious
one. Under Its contract with the city it
should now be maintaining a freight sys-
freight business between many of the cities
ir its system and the rates charged nave
become familiar to the shippers. 1t now
remains in order to comply with
the provision of it's contract here,
TO readjust its entire freight bust
ness and Mr.. Mcclure admits that this
is likely 10 be a delicate matter. However
the city administration believes that this
question must not be longer left in uncer-
tainty. Mayor has asked City
Attorney Joss for an opinion as to the pow
er of the city to supervise the rates in the
schedule. 1t is the mayors desire to procure
the lowest rates possible and he wants to
know just what control over the rates the
city NAV exercise.

STONE BRIDGE CONTRACT
AN ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATION OF
$4,000 NECESSARY.
william Fife & Son Will Build the
Bridge if Enough Money Is
Forthcoming.

The County Commissioners yesterday de-
cided to award to William Fife & Son the
contract for building a stone bridge across
White river at Washington street, provid-
ing the County Council will make an addi-
tional appropriation of $4,000 to meet the
bid. The bid OF the firm for an eighty-foot
bridge was $215, 900. s65, 0CO above the appro-
p~riation of the County Council. If the
Council will not increase the appropriation
the contract will be let to the Brown
Ketcham iron works for a steel girder
bridge on their bid of SIS, 500, and to William
Fife & Son for the substructure, making
the total cost about $147,OO which is the
lowest bid within the appropriation. A no.
tice was at once issued for a special meet
ing of the County Council, which will con-
vene in one week and pass upon the addi-
tional appropriation.
Following are the bids submitted: Stone
Marion County Construction Company,
eighty-foot bridge, $265. 900: William Fife &
Son, seventy-four-foOt bridge. 5000. 900; Will
liam Fife & Son, eighty-foot bridge, $215, 900;

Expanded M~etal-Geisel Construction
Company, eighty-foot bridge, 1893, 900; sew
1lty-foot bridge, $3.50, 700.
In letting the provisional contract the
commissioners have unanimously expressed
themselves in favor Of a stone bridge. In
view of the fact that the bid of William
Fife * Son is so far below the others it is
considered an exceptionally good bid and
the commissioners would like to avail them
selves of the opportunity to place a solid
and durable bridge at Washington street at
the figure named. However, the board de-
cided definitely what will be done, and the
letting of the contract depends entirely
upon the action of the County Council. If
the Council makes the appropriation the
county will have a stone bridge, and If not
the bridge will be OF iron.

HOTEL LOBBY GLEANINGS
II. RADCLIFFE WHITEHEAD, A
LEMON GROWER, IN THE CITY.
California People, He Says, Are at the
Mercy of RaiIrOads-Other
Hotel Visitors.

r. Radcliffe Whitehead. a lemon grower
Of Santa Barbara, Cal, is a guest at the
Denison Hotel. With him is Hervey White,
Of Chicago, a young man who has also
spent considerable time in the lemOn-gcow-
ing districts Of California. Whitehead was
raised in Yorkshire, but for several years
has been a resident of California. Yester-
day Whitehead and White were talking
with some friends about conditions in Cali
fornia and incidentally the story of 1.-The
Octopus" written by Frank Norris, was
alluded to as depicting certain unpleasant
conditions in some of the California dis
tricts. The Octopus" is an unhappy story
of how the great growers of California
have been at the mercy of the Southern
Pacific Railroad. Whitehead said he had
not read The Octopus but knew some
thing of the character of the story. From
what he told of the experiences of the
farmers in his part of the country there
are many things about Norris's story that
are true TO life. Whitehead says the lemon
growers are kept down by the exorbitant
tariff rates charged by the Southern Pa
ciic and the Santa Fe railroads. This, he
says, is the greatest drawback to lemon
growing, and, in fact. any sort of farming
in the West. He said that this winter he
picked many lemons and left them lying on
the ground. They were fair. but were not
good enough to fancy prices, and
1t is only the fancy lemons that the plant
ers can afford to ship. on account of the
high freight rates. rs there no hope for
your asked one of the group. Cant you
go to Washington and get relief there?'
No" said Mr.. Whitehead. 'our only hope
is in socialism-government ownership of
railroads. The Southern Pacific owns too
~ ~ " nnnn1nN NArhANAAAA1 49, a. CA,EL
ern Pacific owns a man in every town in
his locality. The presidents of the South
ern Pacific and the Santa Fe some time ago
held a conference in Santa Barbara and
the people of that section feel that the two
roads pool their interests when it comes TO
gathering freight rates from the farmers.
Speaking of NOrris's novel, 'M~cTeague,"
Mr.. Whitehead remarked: I'VE are not all
cut-throats and thieves in California"

JanitOrs Ask Salary Increase.

The janitors of the courthouse yesterday
filed a petition with the County Commits
sioners for an increase in wages in pro-
portion to the increase in the cost of living.
Following is the petition:
1--WE. the undersigned, j~anitors of the
Marion county courthouse, do hereby re-
spectfully ask your careful consideration
for an increase In wages.
owing TO the present cost of living we
find il difficult to meet our expenses.
Hoping for a favorable consideration of
this matter and thanking you for past
favOrS, we are, very respectfully. Martin
S. Greer, Isaac Leap, +. L. McManis, T. s.
Carney, Ephraim Palmer, Joseph Golaskai,
August Witthaupt, w. w. Richardson, W.
L. Morgan. John d. Kidd, William Jackson,
John Sullivan. George Yanthis."
Alonzo Graham was the only janitor that
did not sign the petition, and the others do
not feel kindly toward him for il. Graham
said he was in favor of an increase as
much as the others. but did not approve
of their method OF getting il. He said he
wanted two or three Of the j~anitOrs TO go
TO the commissioner and have a talk with
them about an increase, and not make III
appear as if they were afraid OF the board
by filing a petition. The board said il could
not grant an increase because the County
Council had already made the appropria-
ton. The ~janitors receive $40 a month.

SMOKE INSPECTOR URGED.
Report of the Special Commercial
Club Committee.

The Smoke committee" Of the CONNER
cial Club reported yesterday to the board
Of directors. The committee took a trip to
Chicago and inspected smoke consumers in
use there. The report urges that the club
ask the city administration 10 appoint a
smoke Inspector. The inspector would con-
fere with manufacturers, suggesting meth
DDS to do away with smoke. AS is done in
Chicago, the inspector wOul give three
warnings before proceeding against fac
tories producing a great amount of smoke.
Manufacturers Will find, says the COM
mittee. that smoke consumers work eco
nomically. One OF the main causes Of
smoke is that fremen throw in too much
coal at once. reducing the heat In the fire.
box below the point of ignition OF gas. and
this results in gas and particles of coal
rushing out through the chimney without
being consumed. Automatic coal distrib-
utors give the fire just enough coal and so
prevent smoke and save fuel.
