BEVERIDGE And BAILEY
THEIR NEXT MEETING MAY TAKE
PLACE IN THIS CITY.
Secretary shipp Says the Committee
Territories May Hold
Session in indianapolis.

1t is very probable that Senator Bever-
idge, of Indiana, and Senator Bailey, Of
Texas, will meet in Indianapolis before
the next session of Congress. Their last
meeting on the closing day of Congress
was unpleasant one, but should they
come face to face in Indianapolis it is very
probable there will be no allusion to the
unpleasant episode. Senator Beverage is
now en- route to California. where he will
take a long rest before returning to Indian
apolis. His private secretary, Thomas r.
Shipp, stated yesterday that he did not
know when the senator would return, but
said efforts are being made to have the
Senate territorial committee hold a meet
ing before the next session of Congress,
and it is not at all improbable that the
meeting will be held in Indianapolis II
the committee should meet here the Indi-
ana and Texas senators would face each
other for the first time since Congress adj
journed.
Senator Fairbanks is also out of the city
at the present time, but many letters are
being received at the offices of both Indi-
ana senators in this city from Fort Wayne
people asking the senators to importune
the President to pay Fort Wayne a visit
when the new Allen county courthouse is
to be dedicated Senators Fairbanks and
Beverage have invited President Roose-
welt 10 visit Fort Wayne, but answers to
lhe invitations have not been received.

There was no meeting scheduled during
the day, but a good audience heard phon-

Lennox and was very much enjoyed. AT
$3.50 this afternoon the Rev. II. w. Kellogg,
Of this city, will deliver the opening ser
mon. This will formally open the assem-
bly,. In the evening Rev. II. W. Baldridge,
OF Madison, will give lecture on Views in
the Life of Christ" The lecture will be IL
lustrated by stereopticon views.
II is expected that by tomorrow night
there will be a large number on the grounds
and the hotel will have number of Wis
itors. The first morning sermon will be de-
Hvered tomorrow at 10 O'Clock, by Rev.
Baldridge. In the afternoon THE Church
of the Twentieth Century will be dis
cussed by Rev J. II. Doddridge and at 1:3O
Mr.. and Mrs. Frame will open their evan
gelistic services. One of the most lmpor-
tant days in the calendar of the assembly
this year will be next Sunday, when cen.
John B.. Gordon will be the speaker OF the
day. The day will be made a patriotic one
and Mr.. j. Z. Hills, of G-eencastle, a Well
known singing evangelist, will have charge
of the large chorus. While II is not posi-
lively known, ii is thought that the trac-
ton line may be running cars from Shelby
Vile by next Sunday.

MUNCIE GAS SITUATION
RESIDENCES WILL NOT BE SERVED
FOR FUEL AFTER SEPT. 30.
George j. MarOtt, Large StockhOId-
err, Tells why the Decision
Was Made Necessary.

George ]. Marott, who owns half the
stock of the Heat, Light and Power Com
pany of Muncie, said last night that his
company will have TO discontinue distribu-
ton of natural gas for fuel purposes in resi-
dences unless the Muncie City Council Will
agree to fix a meter rate OF % cents. No
tice has been served, Mr.. Marott states.
that after Sept. 30 gas will be distributed
for purposes of illumination only.
II would like to have it known" Mr.
Marott said last night, that since its or
ganization the Heat, Light and Power
Company has not realized a dollar in
dividends to it's stockholders. We have
found it necessary to put every cent the
company earned back into the business to
meet the conditions arising from the con-
stantly failing gas supply. We have built
eighty miles of pipe lines and have made
many other costly improvements and things
have come to such a pass that the COM
pany cannot further continue in the bust
ness of furnishing gas for fuel unless we
are given a fairer rate.
1.-The meter question I'm Muncie is much
like it is here in indianapolis. There is too
much politics in it, Instead of considering
the question on It's merits and getting at
IL as Stflclly business proposition, pOlltl-
clans have used II as a vehicle TO adj
vance their popularity and to gain votes.
think there is no doubt that the people of
Muncie would agree TO an advanced rate:
but the Council is opposed apparently to
giving company the treatment we think
conditions demand.
THE meter rate we charge in Muncie now
is II cents. We believe that If we were
granted rate OF Is cents we could meet
discouraging conditions and still be able
TO give the people a supply without losing
money ourselves. But IL is certain that
unless Council agrees 10 give that rate the
company will have TO quit the fuel bust
ness.
Probably that statement should be
limited slightly will say that besides fur
nishing gas for illumination our COMPANY
will endeavor- to serve factories in the sum-
mer time. 1 do not know now that that
can be DONE but / say that we will make
an effort to do IL. Under the present law
we cannot cut off fuel TO one man without
cutting ii OF TO the other. If we furnish
John Smith with gas why Bill Jones can
go 10 law and get IL If he is on the same
line. The only recourse have is to cut
off residence fuel lines altogether. But we
Will not do away with the factory lines
yet"
Mr.. Marott states that there is no under
standing between the Heat. Light and Pow
er Company of Muncie and the Indianapolis
Gas Company in regard 10 the refusal 10
furnish gas after Sept. 80. On account of
the fact that the time set for discontinue
ance Is the same IL has been thought that
an agreement may exist. but that Mr.
Marott denies.
The City Council OF Muncie will meet
in special session next Friday night TO con-
slider a plan OF action on the part OF the
city. Mr.. MarOtt states that his company is
acting strictly within legal rights that the

MUCH PROGRESS is MADE
REPRESENTATIVES, OF INTERURBAN
COMPANIES MEET.
Hugh j. McGowan and George f. Nc
CulIoch Say the Question Is
Big One-City Affairs.

Representatives of eight interurban lines
met with President MCGOWAN. OF the IN
dianapois Street-railway Company. at his
office yesterday afternoon TO discuss the
proposed union terminal system and sta
ton. The meeting consumed about three
hours. Those present were G. +. McCul-
loch. representing the Union Traction and
Indianapolis Northern Traction companies;
Frank NJ. Fauvre, representing the Green
field line; c. +. Smith, representing the
Martinsvile line; Albert Lieber, represent
ing the Plainfield line; w. 5. Reed, repre-
senting the Lebanon & Frankfort line; 10
seph L. Irwin, representing the Greenwood
& Franklin line, and w. n. Harding, repre-
senting the Shelbyville line. During the
meeting the various details Of the terminal
situation were discussed, and when 1t ad-
journed all said that much progress toward
a solution of the question had been MADE.
1t had been the purpose to have James H.
Reach and other Indianapolis shippers.
who have been agitating the insertion OF
maximum freight rate in the proposed
franchise, present, but Mr.. Reach was out
of the city and this prevented more than
passing discussion of this phase OF the
question. 1t is hoped to have members or
the shippers committee present this after
noon, when the representatives Will again
meet to continue their discussion.
c. +. McCulloch said after the meeting
that, considering the magnitude OF the
subject before the interurban representa-
tives, the conference had made great prog
ress, but further discussion would be neces-
sary to enable a definite proposal to be
made to the city by Thursday afternoon
Hugh J. MCGOWAN said the interurbans
were dealing with a question which must
be settled for thirty-One years now and
they are necessarily threshing out every
phase of it. He said he extremely
hopeful from the progress already made
that ii would be possible to present gen.
eral proposal to the city tomorrow after
noon.
During his stay here George F. McCul-
loch will arrange all the business of the
Union and Indianapolis Northern Traction
companies for his absence from the coun-
try for two months. He and Mrs. McCul-
lOch will sail from New York for a stay
in Europe. largely to recuperate Mrs. Nc

DETENTION HOSPITAL SITES.


The Board of Public Works will probably
take up at once its investigation of sites
offered for the Detention Hospital, or, as it
is better known, the pesthouse. For the
purchase of ground and the building and
equipment of the hospital the Council APP
propriated $13500. Four sites have been
offered. One of them contains twenty
acres, has a substantial house on it and
complies with the mandate of the ordinance
requiring IL to be at least three-quarters of
d mile from the city. 1t can be bought for
$1,000 Other sites offered have less acre
age.
Even with the money appropriated the
board has not yet solved the problem be-
fore II. 1t must have suitable site. I'm
provements are not an object, the board
will have TO build for the purposes desired.
The building will be of brick. and will be
as nearly safe from fire as it be made
In addition, a detention pavilion will be
built, where persons exposed to the disease
who have not yet shown its symptoms
may be cared for. In addition. the site
must, in a measure, compromise somewhat
with the popular prejudice which the word
pesthouse" inspires. NeighborhoOds do
not like to have a contagious-disease hos
pltal planted near them and sometimes
violence is threatened. This is one reason
why the new hospital will be protected
from easy destruction by fire. The profess
sional Judgment of physicians that no dam
ger attaches is not salve to the wounded
neighborhoods al all times.
In spite of the vigilance of the Health
Board force there have been cases of
smallpox that were not discovered. Yes
terday afternoon a German who lives on
Remington street called on DR.. Buehler,
city sanitarian, and asked for a certificate.
What kind of a certifcate?" asked DIR.
Buehler.
AS his eyes rested on the man his ques-
ton was answered. The man had reached
the advanced stage of convalescence called
''peeling." His face showed the marks of
the disease and the skin was ''peeling" in a
number of spots.
Have you had the smallpox" the doc
tor asked

Dr. Buehler was indignant at first, but
/ finally concluded that, in the face of such
