The statement made by Will

candidate for Congress in Con-
necticut, of the calls made on
him for money in the late cam
paign is credible aside from the
character of the man making it,
The Boston Herald SAYS: I'VE
have had Repu bIican testimony
from that State in previous years
OF the extent to which voters
there are Durchasable, and it is
not probable that vote buying is
confined to one party. 1t may
be that Mr.. Bishop in his chagrin
Overestimates the extent to
which it is done when it saws
that three fourths of the voters
in the small towns of Connecticut
sell their suffrages, but if this is
true OF half or quarter of that
mum Der of men, it is discour-
aging. 1t would be almost COM
zeal, If it were not worse. to find
this selling of votes had got into
the churches. There is aDDar

stance of clergyman who wrote

PRESENTED BY ARCHITECT BOHLEN
TO EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
How the North Side of the Monument
VIII Be IncIOsed-Other Matters
Considered.

A meeting of the executive committee on
the dedication Of the soldiers and sailors
monument was held in the Governors par
lors yesterday afternoon. Capt II. c.
Adams presided. a number OF matters of
routine were attended to. Major Mulky
present 10 see about the place in the
procession for the Mexican veterans. The
matter of greatest Importance was the plan
for the dedication of the monument pre-
scented by Mr.. Bertermann, of Bertermann
Bros, drawn by Mr. Bohlen, architect, who
presented plans for the platforms to be con-
structed the north side of the monu-
ment.
d. A. Bohlen & Son have made an elab-
crate design for the speakers stand. The
whole north end of the monument will be
inclosed. From the north side of the West
Market-street entrance and running around
the monument to the East Market-street
entrance Will be a wooden Enclosure about
six feet in height. This will be built from
the outside of the monument curbing and
extend to the door of the north entrance TO
the monument. The large platform Will be
160x72 feet in dimensions and will be capa-
BILE of holding 200 people. In the center of
this platform at the north end, facing Me-
ridian street will be the speakers stand
proper, which Will be about sixteen feet
across and about eighteen inches higher
than the stand Back of the large platform
will be a tier OF benches rising amphithea-
ter-like, which four hundred members
of the chorus will be seated.
Around the large platform and stationed
about eight feet apart will be standards.
These will be wrapped in old bat
tie regimental flags. The flags
will be closely tied to the stand
ards and will not be allowed TO float to the
breeze. This is done it is said. on account
of the tattered condition of many of the
flags and also to protect the relics from the
vandalism Of souvenir hunters. To further
protect the flags it is said that a Gordon of
militia Will be placed around the entire
speakers stand with fixed bayOnets to ward
off any attempts at taking away portions of
the old flags. The lower part of the stand will
be draped in red white and blue bunting.
From the south side of West Market-street
entrance around to the south side Of East
Market street there will be a number of
standards placed about the segments
draped in flags. On each of these standards
there will appear the names of great bat
ties. dating from the battle of Vincennes to
the late Spanish-American war, in which
Indiana soldiers or sailors participated.
While the committee is not making much
noise the arrangements progressing
satisfactorily. The different departments
of the work are in the hands of committees
that are looking after them.

SUICIDE IDEA CHILLED.


Young COIored Woman Felt Water in
Canal and Decided to Stay Out.
A young colored woman last night went
10 the bank of the coal at West New
York street with the intention To kill her
self. She was mulatto, dressed in black
skirt and a pink shirtwaist with a large
sailor collar. She wore no hat. Her strange
antics as she walked unsteadily from one
bank to the other over the little bridge at
tracted the attention of a number of en-
ployes of the ice plant and the chair fac
tory near by. The woman, while running
about, kept sobbing, and all questions
asked her We're answered either in an in
audible tone or a curt manner.
AS the crowd increased she noticed the
attention she was drawing, and several
times gave out screams that could have
been heard for blocks away. When she
had emitted these the crowd increased I'M
til there were nearly five hundred people
gathered about the woman. She finally be-
came tired or walking about, and once de-
scended the. bank on the east side to feel
the water. She wrung her hand as if 1t
were chilled by the water and then walked
across the bridge to the west side, where
she again felt the water. AS she did this
she muttered a few words and rose and
walked TO the top of the bank and leaned
against a telegraph pole. Here she cried
as though in great sorrow. Suddenly she
threw her arms In the air and loudly said,
''I'H be d if L do" She then half ran
TO her home on one of the side streets.
Inquiries about the place brought the in
formation that the woman had had trouble
with a man, and she accused him of being
unfaithful. 1t was said by a colored woman
that the girl had told the fellow that If 'he
did not quit running with other girls she
would Kill herself" The fellow in a tocular
mood told her TO carry out her threat

nicipaI Affairs.

Through John r. Pearson the IndianapO-
lis Gas Company announced yesterday that
IL is ready 10 meet the Council committee
on contracts and franchises for the purpose
Of considering all points connected with the
meter question.
81 am ready" said Mr.. Pearson. Ito meet
the committee in a conference at any time
to answer any questions the members may
ask and to present facts and figures"
Are you willing to discuss the rate ques-
tion in a spirit of COMPROMISED" Mr.. Pear
son was asked.
II must positively decline to be inter-
viewed on that point at the present time"
he replied.
Those who favor a reduction OF the 25-
cent rate may draw some hope from your
unwillingness to reitrate the statement that
the company will not recede from its posi-
tion, it suggested.
81 cannot say anything as to that" he
replied.
Mr.. Pearson brought up the point that
there are hundreds of people in Indianapo-
lis who burn artificial gas for cooking pur-
poses at 81 per 1000 cubic feet who do not
object TO the meter. "Why is it," he said.
that there is objection to natural gas at a
quarter of a dollar when we make the
statement in all sincerity that there Will be
a sufficiency of natural fuel by the meter

has been investigating conditions in Chi

nothing more than just.
1T is a fact" he said that in Pittsburg
and Chicago, where the rates are 70 cents
and 80 cents for cooking purposes, Chicago
having another heating rate of so cents.
you could not drive people back to the
contract system with club. If IndianapO-
lis people would only give the meter a trial
they would soon find out that 1t is more
economical in every way. If the meter
system be instituted there will be any
amount of devices for saving fuel put on
the market at low prices"

and masseur. AIvaradO recently came here
from Anderson and is now being pursued
by Mrs. James II. Turpin, widow of An

SMOCK WANTED HERE.
A Man Arrested Near MartinsvilIe Is
Accused of Theft.

Thomas Smock, who was arrested near
Martinsville yesterday, charged with horse
theft, is wanted in this city for the al
legged theft of bicycles belonging to the
George c. Detch Wheel Company. oO6 North
Pennsylvania street, and Watson & Co,
i96 East New York street. Warrants for
his arrest are now in the hands of the po-
lice and he may be asked for by the local
authorities
Smock rented a bicycle from the Watson
Company week ago last Wednesday, and
the firm says the wheel was never returned.
A strange coincidence marks the disappear
ance OF Smock and the wheel. The Wat
son Company has evidence that Smcck sold
the wheel here and received a gold watch
as collateral. Smock traded the watch to
another person and the latter went TO the
store of the Watson Company and wanted
10 trade II for another wheel Thus the
purchase price of the stolen wheel was to
be used to buy a wheel from the first
wheels owner.
The Detch Company rented a wheel to
Smock week ago yesterday. The wheel
was not returned and the company began
search for ii. Smock was sought at his
home on Kenwood avenue, this city, but
he could not be found. He went to Alex
andria and rented a horse and buggy. He
drove out of Alexandria and was caught
at Huntsville by a sheriff. He then con-
fessed. His relatives in this city are max
ing an effort to stay prosecution here.
