CITY HEALTH BOARD IN NEED OF
STILL MORE MONEY.
Controller Breunig VIII ecomme
Immediate Building of Pest
house - City Affairs.

Still another appropriation will be asked
for by the City Health Department. City
Controller Breunig and DR.. Buehler. secre-
tary OF the Health Board. got together yes
terday afternoon, and. after checking up
smallpox expenses TO date. discovered that
at least 5000 in addition to what has been
asked already of Council will have to be
provided.
At the last meeting of the city fathers an
ordinance appropriating $,01 to pay quar-
antine and other expenses was introduced
by the controller at the request of the
Health Board Al the regular meeting
next Monday night that ordinance Will be
passed in all probability, but it will have to
be supplemented, the controller and city
sanitarian find, by another appropriation of
1000. Bills presented within the last two
weeks will eat up the S3,eO0 and unless
Council grants the additional sum decided
upon yesterday the Health Department Will
still be in a financial hole. AT present
there is just 4 cents left in the original APP
preparation.
Since the 1st day of January smallpox has
cost the city of Indianapolis the tidy sum
of 5000, and the controller estimates that
the expenses will reach $1,000 before sum
mer heat puts an end TO the spread OF the
scOurge. Most of the money so far ex-
Dtllltu mas SDnC I pay wages u quar-
tine guards and for buying supplies pro-
vided for quarantined families. During the
critical period of the epidemic the expense
reached for a while $500 daily. At present
the daily cost is about $50.
The controller and the city sanitarian also
considered plans yesterday for the perma-
nent pesthOuse and detention pavilion,
which will be erected on a site yet to be
chosen before the LIST of July. The con-
trOller stated that he is anxious TO push
the project to an early contamination and
that he will to the mayor that
the much-needed smallpox hospital be built
at once. He said that the heavy expense
to which the city has been put in the last
two months TO maintain guarantees and
buy supplies should be a sufficient lesson as
TO the need of a ~pesthouse.
DR.. Buehler informed the controller that
he has devoted some time to considera-
ton of plans for the pesthouse. He stated
that he thought a suitable brick building
could be erected for 5000 or 1900. 1t should
be two stories in height, he said, and should
have accommodations for seventy-hve pa
tents. In connection with the main build
ing there should be a pavilion for the de-
tention of persons exposed to smallpox. III {
informed the controller that he has in mind
several locations that might be suitable.

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES.
Apparently There Was No Interest In
the Meetings.

TIL Democratic primaries yesterday even
ing were ~listless affairs as far as could
be learned. The primaries wYre held to
select members of the county committee,
and were held in each precinct. The vote
in most precincts was light. it was stated.
1t was told last night that in the eleventh
precinct of the Sixth ward but one voter
showed up" 1t is said he remained there
from 4 until Z p. M, and then declared
himself elected committeeman. His name
was Mcclure. 1t was said that James
Renihan and Joseph Gates, appointed by
the Ounty chairman TO serve as members
of the election board, failed to be pres
ent.
A crowd OF Democrats gathered in the
Lombard building last night, seeking COun-
ty Chairman Sullivan. They desired to
make reports from the different precincts,
chairman did not come down to his office
and the secretary could not be found.
Chairman Sullivan has his office i'm the
Lombard building. OF the floor occupied
by the Democratic State committee. When
the men from the different precincts found
Chairman Sullivan's office dark they tried
TO invade the State committee rooms.
However, no one there had been appointed
TO receive reports.
The new committee will be r~eorgdnized
Thursday at Masonic Hall. 1t is likely that
w. w. Spencer will be chosen chairman.

THE WHEN SMOKE TEST.
1t Proved Completely satisfactory to
All Concerned.

The test of the smoke preventer made by
Prof. Henry G. Cox, of the Manual Train
ing High School, Friday and Saturday i'm
the furnaces of the When building were
satisfactory beyond the hopes of the ex-
perimenters. Professor Cox demonstrated
clearly by his experiments that the ap-
paratus could do away with about so per
cent. of smoke and that the saving in fuel
resulting would be very considerable. Prof.
Cox believes that if the device were TO be
used in connection with some automatic
stoker Of approved design all smoke might
be prevented. 1t is stated that the tests
made by Professor Cox have been the only
ones made i'm this city from which results
completely satisfactory have been obtained.
In making the test slack coal was burned
each day for nine hours under a horizontal
tubular boiler. The utmost care was taken
To obtain accurate results. The coal was
carefully weighed, as was the water
pumped into the boilers. and the record of
the steam pressure was kept. As the flames
left the fire they were struck by jets of
air. which prevented them from entering
the fue at once, and forcing them against
a low brick arch built over the fire. In
this way the gases are consumed

The amount of coal used Friday was

FRANCHISE.
IL VIII Not He Signed Until Citizens
Are Heard.

The Indianapolis Southern franchise will
not be signed tomorrow, according to Ed
win Logsdon. of the Board OF Works. 1t
was expected that the agreement made by
the city and the Southern Company would
be formally c-Onsummated at the conference
tomorrow, but Mr.. LOgsdon says the city
is not yet ready to bind itself. The board
wants citizens generally to appear before
it tomorrow TO have something TO say
about the terms of the contract, the route
chosen, the coal rate, the provision regard
ing elevated tracks and anything else that
they may wish to give opinions on. Mr..
Logsdon said that the board has no in
tention Of delaying final action on the fran
chise, but that il wishes TO give every
body who desires a chance to say some
thing on the matter before signing.
The Board of Works yesterday notified
the officials of the Indianapolis Interurban
Terminal Company that it could not give
them a hearing next Thursday, as Origi-
nally intended. There is so much other
business on hand that they have no time
TO give to the terminal officers for at least
a week. The hearing will take place, prob
ably, one week from to-day.

SMALL SEWER CONTRACT.
The Bidders, Two I'm Number, Try to
Their Bids.

The Board of Works yesterday refused to
permit Contractors II. c. ROney and j. s.
Hudson TO withdraw bids they had made
for the construction of the Lasalle-street
sewer. IL looked very much 10 the men,
beers of the board as II the two contractors
had entered into "A combination 10 force the
board 10 increase the estimates on the i'm
provement- The events OF the day seemed
10 show that when the two men found that
there were no other bidders and that the
board would not raise the estimates they
decided 20 withdraw their bids and leave
the board In a hole. Hudson. who is a col
ored man, bid $1-13. ROney's bid was S1.25.
Usually for jobs OF the kind the board re-
ceives at least a half a dozen bids. When
only two were received yesterday the mem
berS or the board were surprised. The
were more surprised later when both Ronev

tractors said that materials had advanced
so much that they could not maxi a profit.

Some Were Mystifed.

Some of the Republican candidates were a
bit mystifed yesterday morning in g~lancing
over what purported to be a revised list of
candidates to discover that their names
were not in the position they had expected
TO find them. The trouble was that in the
list printed In the Journal some of the
names had not been copied as they appeared
horizontally on the ballot.
Chairman Elliott has abandoned the idea
of procuring election booths from the Coun-
ty Commissioners for use on Friday at the
primaries. He found ii would cost too much
money 10 use the booths. The chairman
has sent out notices to the election in
spectors TO provide as much secrecy for the
voter as pOssible.

CARRIE YORGER'S SUIT
SHE SAYS SHE LOST PROPERTY
THROUGH NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
Thought She was Being Released
from Paying Interest on SI,GOO
Other Court Cases.

A suit to set aside an alleged fraudulent
deed was filed by Carrie Yorger yesterday
against Emma Schlegel and her husband.
John NJ. SchlegeL The complainant tells
a lengthy story Of how the property OF
Mrs. Yorger came into the possession of
Mrs. SchlegeI, who is her s~ister-in-law.
by alleged misrepresentation and how she
came 10 sign a quitclaim deed for all Of
her property when she AYERS that she
thought il was only an agreement of minor
Importance.
Henry Yorger was the father of Mrs.
Carrie Yorger's husband and Mrs. Schlegel.
He owned 10 acres Of and and when he
died in 1859 mis- will bequeathed this as a
life estate to his widow and left eighty
acres TO his son, John c. Yorger, husband
OF the platatif. The will set out that he
should pay 6 per cent. of S1.O00 TO his sis
ter. Mrs. Schlegel. each year and at her
death 500 should be paid over TO her
children. The eighty acres was designated
as a charge upon this provision In adj
ditiOn to this the pIaintiff i'm the suit says
that her husband had sixty acres which
he acquired by purchase. In 1885 he died

liar with business transactions and con-
scented to the oral agreement. The COM
plant then AYERS that she was induced
to Mrs. Schlegel TO Indianapo-
MS and TO a law office, where she was asked
10 sign "A paper purpOrting 10 be an agree
ment. In fact she signed a quitclaim deed
TO all OF her property. the plaintiff alleges,
I'm favor of Mrs. Schlegel. She AYERS that
she knows nothing about legal

ton that she was only signing an agree
ment that would relieve her of paying the
o Ter cent. on the 1900.
