PROHIBITION ALLIANCE.
The Local Prohibition League VIII
Apply for a Charter.

The Indianapolis Prohibition Alliance has
been formed. When the Prohibition League
met in its regular session last night the
question of the organization of a branch
of the alliance was brought forward by
Mr.. l.. c. Masters. of the state committee.
A few favored the organization, while
others opposed it. AS the members warmed
I'D to the Importance of the suggestion
of Mr.. Masters it was announced from the
chair that the meeting was for other pur-
poses and that if there were any present
who desired to become members of the
alliance they could do so after the meeting.
When the regular business had been dis
posed of the greater number of male mem
bers remained. F. T. McWhirter was the
first man to again mention the subject by
saying that to organize a branch of the
alliance it would be necessary to raise $50
shares of stock. Each share of stock rs
valued at 5 cents. and the 25O shares are
for the benefit of the county. state and ma
tional committee. This stock is payable
monthly. After matters had become
Strengthened out it was moved by IL. f..
Watson that the same officers in charge
of the Prohibition League should serve for
the Prohibition Alliance. They are: Presi-
dent, Edward w. Clark: vice president, L.
n. BunneTl; secretary. Miss Belle Kettron;
treasurer. Walter V. Ogden; organist, Miss
Ora Johnson.
The organization will at once apply for
a charter. 1t was said the reason for the
organization of the alliance is To strengthen
prohibition work in every precinct and ward
in the city. 1t was also said that if a
strong alliance is formed in this city it will
aid in bringing the state headquarters of
the Prohibition party to this city, which
has been desired Tor a long time.
During the regular meeting +. Il. Nc
Whittier debated with r.. w. Clark on rs
the Dram Shop a Greater Public Evil than
the Policy Shop?' Mr.. McWhirter took the
Affirmative. while Mr.. Clark took the Mega
tive. Mr.. McWhirter spoke for twenty min
utes on the evils arising from the liquor
trade. In Mr.. Clark's address he said that
no greater evil faced the American people
than that of gambling. He said it was after
a man had ruined himself at the gambling
table that he took to drink, and generally
suicide followed. The Rev. Joshua STAINS
held closed the meeting with an address on
temperance.

HOTEL LOBBY GLEANINGS
FRED PABsT, SOY OF MILWAUKEE
BREWER, IN THE CITY.
He Talks of the War Tax on the
FrOthy Beverage-Man that
Saw Paul Kruger

A tall young man of athletic build, wear
ing a light colored suit of clothes and a
black derby hat, turned away from the
newsstand in the lobby of the Denison
Hotel yesterday evening about s o'clock.
He had just purchased a newspaper and
was preparing to make a rush for the
Union Depot. He did not seem at all irri-
tated when a stranger approached and de-
layed him. The young man was Fred
Pabst, son of the millionaire brewer of Mil
waukee. He is practically the manager Of
his fathers immense business and is now
making a tour, paying visits TO the different
agencies of the Pabst Company. Young
Pabst married the laughter of Lents, the
millionaire brewer OF st. Louis. He is an
extremely affable young fellow and is said
TO be an excellent business man.
He explained that his visit here had no
special significance. 1T is simply a bust
ness trip he said. He declared, how
ever, that unless the government takes the
war tax off of beer the price of the bever-
age will have 10 go up. The only thing
that would prevent a rise in the price would
be a reduction in the cost OF material used
in making beer. Mr.. PabSt thinks there Is
no danger of the price of beer going above
5 cents a glass. He says if brewers have
to put up the price retailers will have TO re-
duce the size of the glass in cases where
they have been selling unusually large
bowls" Mr.. Pabst is rather optimistic
about the matter, however, and say he
thinks the government is likely to remove
the tax by July. Mr.. Pabst went TO Terre
Haute last right

USED CHAIR AS WEAPON
GEORGE o. NEwCONB CREATED A
DISTURBANCE IN COURTROOM.
The Decision of Justice SmOck Did Not
Suit Him and He A~ssauIted
u. 5.

The courts having failed to give the de-
sired satisfaction TO George o.. Newcomb.
he tried in Justice Shocks court yester-
day afternoon to get satisfaction by using
a chair over the head Of u. S. Beckner,
proprietor, of an employment agency at 40
Monument place. For a moment the court
room was a scene of wild confusion. but a
half dozen constabies fell upon Newcomb
and succeeded in restraining him until he
sault and battery.
Some time ago Newcomb went to Beck
ner's employment agency and gave him IS
as a retainer to secure him employment.
Beckner says that before he had a chance
TO get him a position Newcomb came
around and demanded his money back.
Beckner refused to return 1t. Newcomb
then caused an affidavit to be filed against
Beckner in Police Court, charging him with
petit larceny, but he was acquitted. A civil
suit for recovery of the s. was then in
stituted'in Justice Shocks court. The de-
cision had just been made against New
comb, when he picked up a chat and made
for Beckner. The latter had put on his
overcoat preparatory to leaving and turned
his back to Newcomb. Newcomb struck
a vicious blow at Beckner. but the chair
was frail, and, striking him first on the
shoulder. did not injure him. In an instant
the deputies, who were half doing in the
room, were upon Newcomb and dragged
him away. In the scuff1e he suffered sew
eral scratches on the face. Justice Smock
then fined him for assault and battery.

In Memory of c. Il. Thornton.

At a meeting of the board of directors
of Butler College yesterday morning the
following was adopted:
rOnce again the ranks OF the directors
of Butler College have been reduced. This
time death has taken one who has spent
almost his entire adult life either as a
student or director of this institution.
Charles Z. Thornton has from the day
in 1874 when he entered the freshman
class been known and respected by But
Ter students and alumni. He was gradu-
ated in 1873. after a college career, which
earned for him the esteem Of the students
and faculty. Absolute devotion to his duty
and all of his obligations IN life was a
ruling characteristic. After he left college
we have observed constantly that fidelity
10 college. to city, to church. to family
and friends, which were observed by all
who knew him in younger days. His in
tegrity. industry and faithfulness made
their mark upon all his work. and upon
this. community. where he had established
himself as one of the c~ommunity's leading
and most prominent citizens. We feel q
sense of serious loss 10 this institution
in his death, and direct the secretary to
make a minute of this memorial. II is
also resolved that the directors attend the
funeral in a body. that the secretary send
suitable floral tribute and that a copy OF
this expression be mailed TO the widow of
cur deceased director

TALKED WITH KRUGER.
c. G. Fitzpatrick, Bicycle Rider, Visited
South Africa.


c. G.. Fitzpatrick, who has the sensation
al bicycle act at the Grand Opera House
this week. is an ardent Boer sympathizer.
He was telling yesterday of a visit made
to South Africa a few years ago when he
and his wife gave a bike" exhibition in
one Of the parks at Pretoria for the enter
tainment OF the school children at that
place. After the exhibition they were pre-
sented to Paul Kruger, president of the
South African Republic. Mr.. Kruger pre-
scented Fitzpatrick with a sovereign on
which was engraved the names of the
donor and the recipients. "I talked TO him
through an interpreter" said Fitzpatrick,
and the conversation was carried on be-
tween the president and the interpreter in
the German tongue. Paul Kruger under
stands English and can speak II, but his
hatred for the English was so bitter that
he would not speak in the English tongue.
While in the presence of President Kruger,
Fitzpatrick said to him, through the inter-
prefer, that America had produced two
especially great men. Mr.. Kruger wanted
to know VINO they were and Fitzpatrick
mentioned the names of George Washing
ton and Abraham Lincoln. When these
names were spoken by the interpreter Mr..
Kruger said TO him: Tell the young man
that l perhaps know more about the his
tory Of those men than he does" Fitzpatrick
thought this indicated that the president
of the South African Republic was a stu
dent of history.
fitzpatrick was raised at Danville, Ill,
but has not lived there much i'm recent
years. In 1891 he organized the Gas Belt
Baseball League. He distinguished himself
q few years ago by riding a bicycle down
the west steps of the Capitol building at
Washington. With a man with two good
legs this would have been a difficult feat,
but the fact that Fitzpatrick has only one
leg made his act tremendously thrilling TO
those who saw it. Kilpatrick's wife is a
trick bicycle rider and is now in Europe.

to be a little afraid of newspaper inter
views. Brandon Hurst, ore of Mrs. Fishes
leading men, who is. staying at the Deni-

Hurst. who, by the way, is an exceedingly
good-looking young man, played the hero
in a modest way. One morning while on
his way to rehearsal he saw a unaway
