rial Association were perfected yesterday
at a meeting of the executive committee of
the association at the English Hotel
The meeting will be held Jan. 21-22, at the
Claypool Hotel. The annual banquet will
take place on the evening of the 21st, while
the 22d will be devoted to the business ses-
sions of the association. The programme
for the banquet and business sessions was
arranged, but II will not be given out until
acceptances have been received from all
those invited to make addresses and read
papers.
However, 1t Is known that Governor Dur
bin, Senators Fairbanks and Beverage. and
several members of the Indiana delegation
In the lower branch of Congress will be
present at the banquet Governor Durbin
and Charles l.. Henry, of this city, have
accepted invitations to respond to toasts.
The members of the executive commit
tee present at yesterdays meeting were:
Charles Of Liberty president Of
Greenfield, secretary; F. T. Singleton, of
Martinsville; Julian D. Hogate. of Danville;
L. A. Remy. of Seymour, and w. +.
Downs, of Connersvile.
RECORD BREAKER.
"Our midwinter meeting this year will
eclipse any ever held by the association"
said President Stiyers last evening. In
terest in the work of the association is
growing rapidly, and the members are anx-
ious to make the coming meeting a great
success. The programme will be one of
both business and politics. and unless our
plans miscarry woefully it will be better
than ever before. We are already assured
of a record-breaking attendance, and that
means we shall double our efforts to ar
range big Republican editorial love-feast
that will be both enjoyable and profitable. -
Other members of the committee were
equally enthusiastic over the prospects for
a banner meeting of the association 1t
had been decided originally to hold the
meeting Jan. 2S but a change of date was
found necessary because the hotel could
not arrange for the affair to the best ad-
vantage on the 18th.

GAS MUST STAND TEST
TO Be MADE BY CITY
Candle Power Contract Will Be
Enforced by the City
Engineer.
COMPANY NOT AFRAID

A practical and thorough test Of the candle
power of the gas furnished its patrons by
the Indianapolis Gas Company will be made
soon, probably the latter part of next
week.
The company's contract with the city pro-
vides that it must furnish gas giving an
eighteen-candle-p light through a burn
er consuming five cubic feet of gas per hour.
AS number of complaints have been made
that the candle power of the Indianapolis
company's gas was not up to the standard,
the engineers department began making
ready for a test some time ago.
Apparatus for the test will cost about
5000. Some of it made in this city,
while other parts were purchased in Phila-
delphia City Chemist Walter Buehler will
conduct the work.
John R. Pearson, manager Of the gas COM
pany is confident that the test will prove
that his company is furnishing gas of the
required candle power. I'VE welcome such
test" he stated yesterday.
z. j. Ryan, inspector of weights and meas
ures, stated yesterday that he would make
immediate arrangements to test the gas
company's meters, as he believes this work
comes within his jurisdiction.
Under the charter of the gas company the
Board of Public Works has authority TO
inspect and test the company's meters, at
the cOmpanys expense, and number or re-
quests have been made by patrons for a
test.

UNNECESSARY EXPENSE
IMPOSED UPON POLICE
Action of Safety Board Creates
Dissatisfaction Among
Blue Coats.

A proposed movement on the part of the
Board of Public Safety to compel the men,
bers of the city police force to equip them
selves with new revolvers as to insure
uniformity in make and calibre is pro-
voking considerable dissatisfaction among
many members of the force.
One policeman is authority for the state
ment that at least 20 per cent of the force
are now armed with 80 calibre Smith &
Wesson guns. They are good guns, Of
good caliber and the most improved pat
term" said the officer land ii seems to some
of us that the best thing for the Safety
Board TO do would be 10 direct the other 80
per cent. of the force to equip itself with
the same guns.
AS there are nearly 200 officers now on the
city's force. and as the new guns will
probably cost about s13 each. the proposed
change In armament will cost the members
OF the department over 81, 500.
The. Board of Public Safety will probably
ask several big revolver manufacturers to
bid for the contract of furnishing all the
guns. but nothing in this direction has been
done as yet. 1t is said that the board favors
the Colt make of revolvers.

BEAR OCCUPIES CELL
AT CENTRAL STATION
Found Lettering He Is Arrested and
Furnishes Much Amusement.

That humor is needless of environ
ment was demonstrated yesterday
morning in the grim lookup at the CEN
trail police station. A cell in which
hundreds of petty criminals and Of
tenders have been cast to languish
drearily over night was the scene of a
comedy, the central figure of which
was a small brown bear, recently cap
tured in the wilds of Montana.
The cub, unused to the customs Of
city life and ignorant of ordinances
forbidding prowling about the streets
at night was arrested by Patrolman
Holland, who found the young cub at
the corner of Sixth and Franklin
streets about 5 o'clock yesterday morn
ing.
The bear had recently been sent to
Dr. Archibald from a friend in Mon
tana, and DR.. Archibald kept young
bruin in one of his offices in the Lowry
arcade. In the same room with the
bear was a parrot, and Tuesday night
the bear and the parrot had dispute,
which led. to the bear breaking his
tether, and, leaping from an open win
dow, to escape the taunting epithetS
which the parrot hurled at him. Be
fore effecting his. escape the cub did
what he could to chew up a mat and
remove plaster from the wall.

made his way to the ground by means
of coping and awning. He had not
been gone long before he was picked
up by Patrolman Holland, who led him
to the station. Bruin was assigned to
cell II and booked as mike Doofey,'.
charged with lettering.
When the day shift began to arrive
each man was made the victim of a
joke. Jailer Hamnles was the first.
He was informed that the occupant of
cell II was dangerous character and
that he should approach him with eau
ton. Nothing daunted by the sugges-
ton the jailer boldly entered the cell,
the dim light not revealing the occu-
pant The jailer made a hasty exit
when the bear, who had been clinging
on the bars, pounced upon his head.
Each of the detectives, as he entered
the station, was sent up to cell II to
interview a noted crook who refused
to speak.
/, DR.. Archibald donated thu bear to the
Harriet island zoo, where he was taken
later in the day.

antiseptic, and it is necessary often to-
day to use it in certain products, 9TH
erwise fermentation is bound to ensue,
but with the additional knowledge that
manufacturers are gaining each year
and the tendency of packages becom-
ing smaller, the use of an antiseptic is
becoming less and less necessary to
the business. But in it's present condi-
ton, as have said, there are several
preparations that we have not been
able to make successfully and with
stand all the climatic changes without
it's use.

Mr.. Evans continued, commonly call
ed canned goods, does not require the
use of an antiseptie, as the -preserv-
ing of these goods is accomplished by
sterilization, which is done by sub
jectings the goods, after being placed
in the cans, to a certain temperature
for a given length of time. When
these ssteriiized goods reach the con-
sumner they are in good condition, but
if they are left open they will spoil,
as they will ferment. Experiments

cussion. Mr.. Evans prefaced ms re-
marks by stating that his firm looked
upon the food commissioners as It's pest
friends. as from the intelligent expert
ments and research conducted by the
state officials in the matter OF pure
foods it had received much practical
benefit.
He went on to say that the preser-
walton of pickles and condiments as
whole is not very difficult process,
although it requires much care ana
skill. 1t used to be that the house
wife made the preserves in the kltcn-
en- and it practically kept her there
all the summer. With the greatest
care it was difficult to keep them. She
would carefully place them in the cool
est and darkest place in the cellar,
leave them undisturbed for a few days
and then inspect them Oftentimes she
would find that fermentation had set in
and it would be necessary to recook
them.
If the manufacturer could keep his
goods in a dark, cool place until they
were ready for use there would be
very little trouble, but they have to
be so put up that they will Withstand
the cold of winter and the heat of
summer without showing any bad eff
fects. Often in the course of travel to
their destination they have to with
stand the two extremes during a very
short space of time, and then, when
they arrive, be just as good as mother
used to make"
The great bugbear Of the manufact-
urer is fermentation. Preserves, GU
cumbers and tomato products, if kept
in the factories in the ordinary way,
