costumes and paraphernalia afforded one
of the most striking pictures of the
durbar festivities Contingents from all
parts of greater India participated, mostly
retaining the distinctive features of their
customs. The flags and other emblems of
the state of Ouch were carried on camels
and elephants accompanied by armed men
on stills, while Arab irregulars danced past

the princes of by-gone days. The retinue
of the state of Kashmir included a fine de-
tachment of cuiraSsierS and huge giant.

ascetics and number OF quaint musicians.
The camel men of the Maharajah of Alwar
wore uniforms of blue and yellow. An
elephant carriage, drawn by four elephants,

CHARGE is NOT SUSTAINED
BOARD DECIDES CAPTAIN GERBER
DID NOT DRINK ON SUNDAY.
Earring Did Not Produce Additional
Witnesses, But Made Good Argu-
ment-TO Vaccinate Policemen.

The Board of Public Safety yesterday
decided that the charge of Eli d. Earring.
of the Indianapolis News, that Detective
Captain Samuel Gerber took a drink
Sunday, Dec. Ii, in Monningers saloon.
had not been sustained. The conclusion
of the trial occurred yesterday. Mr.. Ear
ing had a subpoena issued for Eugene
Marquette, who. he said, was present when
Gerber and James Ross were in the saloon.
Marquette could not be found. 1t was I'M
derstood that Marquette had named two
other witnesses. but the men named de-
MED they had seen the transaction. The
board refused Mr.. Earrings request for a
further continuance.
Captain Gerber took the stand and stated
that he left the police station on the date
charged and went directly to Illinois and
Washington streets where he took a car
for his home at 5:45. He did not see Ross,
did not take a drink that day and had
never taken a drink with Ross in his life.
Besides he wore soft hat, not Derby, as
Earring had said he wore.
Probate Judge Walker, who defended
Gerber, resented the statements Of the
News that he had deserted his bench to
defend Gerber. Mr. Walker said he had
served three years as Police Court pros
ecutor and had made some of his most
valued friendships amongst the police, and
that he would defend them freely at any
time they asked him to. He said the News
could make stereotype plate of that and
print 1t every day if it wanted to. He then
made an argument, showing that Gerber's
alibi was complete
Mr.. Earring replied with a lucid argument,
in which he sought to convince the board
that Gerber had time between $50 O'Clock
and 5:45 o'clock to leave the police station.
visited Monninger's and take drink and
then go home.
The board discussed the testimony and
found the preponderance in Gerber's favor
and consequently held the charges not sus-
tanned.
The board then planned sort of VEN
geance on the members of the police and
fire forces who are not vaccinated Police
Surgeon Garstang was instructed to vac
cinate all whose vaccination is not now
effective. The visions of sore-armed po-
lcemen and firemen did not alter the board
in its stern command The mems arms will
be protected with celluloid shields until
their abrasions have healed entirely.
The board decided to reinstate Charles
Mcdonald, a fireman dismissed several
weeks ago for INSTRUMENTATION. When he
was dismissed the board loath to
consent to it, but discipline required it,
Mcdonald is a good fireman and the board
believes he will render better service than
a new, inexperienced man.

afflicted with rheumatism for months, was

wanted by charges. The society has sew
eral places in the city where coal can be
greatest burden, he said, was the almost
prohibitive price that must be paid for
soft coal. He said he has been unable to
get the slightest reduction in prices for
coal this year.
He will send out his agents this morning
to cover the city and watch carefully for
the neglected poor who might be freezing
in their sQualid homes. He is of opinion
that the agents cannot reach all the cases
that need attention. In some instances
poor people are tinid about letting their
true condition be known. In these cases
the nelghbors generally appeal to the Char
ity Organization as a last resort. Mr.
Grout said he thinks that there is less real
suHerlng this winter than for several years.
ORDERS FOR COAL.
The coal dealers of the city yesterday
were also rushed with business. None
complained of shortage of soft coal. saying
they had plenty to deliver, but could not
get enough wagons and horses to get the
coal to patrons. George Meyer, of the A.
B. Meyer Coal Company, said yesterday
that his firm had all the business it could
possibly handle Some dealers complain of
shortage of anthracite coal, but this Is
explained by criticisng the railroad COM
panies for failing TO deliver the coal Mr.
Meyer said that his firm had ordered an
thracite coal more than thirty days ago,
but was unable to get it. He thought this
was probably due to the fact that the rail-
roads prior to Christmas had used their
trains for hauling Christmas goods, leaving
coal and similar kinds of freight on side
tracks. He thinks that within the next
few days the city coal dealers will have
plenty of coal. 1t is said that there are
fewer than seven cars of anthracite coal in
the city. Some coal firms are selling. their
supply at $l2 ton. The A. Is. Meyer Coal
Company Will only sell on future deliver
les. At some of the smaller coal yards an
thracite is sold at 50. E. III. Pursel, a Goa,
dealer in Broad Ripple, is selling anthra-
cite al $3.50 ton. He said yesterday that
he would like to sell his coal at the same
prices India napolis dealers are getting, but
he is satisfied with receiving s. 10 81 profit
for his coal. He says he has plenty of an
thracite in stock and several carloads on
their way TO Broad Ripple.
People who have been depending on
natural gas for their means OF heat were
sorely disappointed yesterday. In West In
dianapolis and the territory west of White
river much complaint was registered on
account of lack of gas. People had to give
up gas and take 10 burning wood and coal
Small coal dealers were kept busy supply
ing those who had made the sudden change
in their heating appliances.

the fight for the admission of Oklahoma,
Arizona and New Mexico, criticised the
resolutions, saying the people who adopted
them had not acted intelligently because
the single statehood bill had been with
drawn. He further charged that they did
not represent the sentiment of a majority
of the people of Oklahoma. Mr.. Nelson, of
Minnesota, continued, but did not conclude
his remarks In opposition to the omnibus
statehood bill.
There was a renewal to-day of the talk
of compromise of the differences on the
statehood question on the basis of two
States, one to be composed of Oklahoma
and Indian Territory, and the other OF
New Mexico and Arizona. The leaders on
both sides refused to consider the sugges-
ton, but other senators appeared to re-

close debate which bids fair to consume
much of the time of the session.
