PRINCE HENRY COMING
HE WILL SPEND HALF AN HOUR IN
INDIANAPOLIS.
ARRANGEMENTS May BE Made for a
Drive Over the City-WiiI Also
Stop at Cincinnati.

The committee that has in charge the ar
rangements for the tour of the United
States to be made by Prince Henry of
Germany has decided that he will spend
a half hour each in Cincinnati and Indian
apolis. 1t is not yet decided whether he
will stop on his way to Chicago or COM
ing back.
The mayors of the two cities will be noti-
fed and the municipal authorities will be
directed as to the sort of reception which
is TO be arranged. Nothing will be left
to chance. After the details have been
arranged they will be finally approved by
the German embassy.
1t is not expected that the royal party
will leave the passenger station in either
city, although it may be decided that Prince
Henry shall take short drive. The stop
ping places are being increased. at the re-
quest of the Prince who desires to see
as much of the country possible.
The other day John p. Frenzel and Louis
MUIR called upon Mayor BoOkwalter and
Governor Durbin to secure their co-Opera-
ton in an effort to have Prince Henry visit
this city, and both promised to use their
earnest efforts. The aid of the United
States senators was also enlisted, and it
seems with success.
AS indicated above, the local reception
arrangements will be subject to approval
by the general committee that will have
charge of the tour.

MISS HARNESS WORK.


Miss Helen +. Barnes secretary of the
American committee of the Young WOm-
ems Christian Association, addressed two
large audiences yesterday in the Y w. c.
A building. Miss Barnes. in her address
at the noon hour yesterday took for her
theme her work in the Industrial centers.
She says she wishes to interest employer
and employed. as the time for this is ripe.
Miss Barnes's efforts are TO improve the
condition of the women employed. and if
this can be done she thinks it will work
great results for the employer. The sec
retaries do not touch on the subject of
wages or hours" she said. THAT will come
I'm its own good time We are not pOliti-
cal. but simply moral force. and we want
TO change the sanitary conditions. / have
no criticism to make of any employer. 1t
Is quite remarkable for me 10 say that i'm
all my contact with men who employ
women / have never met one who did not
listen with interest 10 a statement of our
efforts. Capital and labor should work to-
gether. The wrong is on bob sides but
believe the time is coming when the men
will not grind down the emplOye and the
latter will give better service"
Miss Barnes takes an optimistic view of
capital and labor and expresses the belief
that this y the turning time when girls
are beginning To recognize their own wOm-
aEhood and the employers recognize women
as human beings.
Miss Barnes addressed another large
meeting last night. She gave an evange-
listic service, taking for her subject Dan
lei
This afternoon at O'Clock Miss Barnes

Need of Young Women"

COUNTY'S AUTHORITY.
1t Cannot Aid the City in Bridge
Building. 1t Is Now Said.

County Commissioner Thomas Spafford
says the commissioners would like to build
the new bridge over White river TO replace
the fallen iron bridge and to assist the city
OF Indianapolis in its financial embarrass-
ment. Mr.. Spafford recognizes the fact
that Indianapolis pays S. per cent. of the
taxes collected in Marion county and that
there would be nothing unjust in the coun-
tvs spending a part of the taxes for the
benefit of the city. Mayor Bookwalter has
stated 10 the Journal that he stands ready
to accept any offer on that line made by
the commissioners, and Major Megrew
agrees with the mayor.
An obstacle appeared yesterday morning,
however, when County Attorney Martin
Hugg delivered an informal opinion to the
commissioners relative to their authority
in such matters as city improvements. Mr..
Hugg holds that the adoption of the In
dianapOlis charter took away whatever
power the commissioners may have had in
the matter. They have now, he says, no
authority to build bridge for Indianapolis,
that power being altogether in the hands
of the Board of Works. Commissioner
SpaffOrd says that the board probably will
follow the advice of the attorney, and that
the project is at end so far they are
concerned.
A member of the Board of Works, in dis
cussing the question yesterday. refused to
believe that Mr.. Hugg's opinion is correct.
The member while refusing TO be quoted
the matter, stated that he thought it
possible some agreement might yet be
reached with the county so that a stone
bridge could be built.

ORDER TO BELT RAILWAY
WORK OF RAISING TRACKS AT
SHELDON STREET STOPPED.
Board of Works Takes Prompt Action
in the Matter-COunty's Bridge
Building Authority.

The Board of Public Works yesterday
ordered the indianapolis Union Railway
Company TO discontinue the work of rails
ing its tracks at their intersection with
Sheldon street. The board was notified
that employees Of the Belt were at work
at that point and it took summary action
The reason the mandate was issued is be-
cause of the recent order for the opening
of Sheldon street across the Belt tracks.
Sheldon street is the thoroughfare used for
the most part by hundreds of children on
their way TO the new Washington School,
and for that reason ii is one of the most
important streets in the city. School Com
missioner Moores recently secured an or
der providing for the opening of the street
with a proviso that either a subway under
the tracks or a viaduct over them should
be constructed to insure the safety of chill
dren. The Improvement, in any case, will
be costly, and the members of the board
say that if the Belt raises the elevation OF
its tracks at Sheldon street before the city
engineer completes his plans for the open
ing and for either the subway or the via
Duct it is liable TO derange the plans of
the engineer and cost the city more money
than was estimated. The order issued yes
terday was Obeyed, it is stated.
