TOBACCO AND RELIGION
ATTEMPT TO INTERDICT SALE OF
THE WEED AT GREENWOOD PARK.
Members of the Holiness Association
Are Sticklers for Unworldliness
Opening Session.

Greenwood Park, which has been the
scene OF so many picnic gatherings, gay
parties or young folks and amusement seek
ers, will take on a ministerial air for the
next two weeks while the annual camp
meeting of the Holiness Association is in
session. The meetings opened last night
when MIS-. Matte Wines, of Whiteland,
Ind, preached, and will continue until July
~. There will be five services a day, at the
following hours: Six a. m, $50 a. m 10 80
a. m, 2:30 p. m. and O'Clock in the even
ing. The speakers will alternate at these
services.
Yesterday was spent in getting things in
shape for the opening, and Rev. George
Church, president of the association, and a
number of those at the head of the work,
were busy changing the dancing pavilion
into suitable house of worship. The park
is owned by the Greenwood Interurban
Railway Company and there was a good
deal of discussion among the members of
the Holiness organization over the conduct
of the grounds during their services. They
wanted all the swings taken away and also
strongly objected TO the sale of cigars and
TOBACCO at the restaurant on the grounds.
However, the swings were retained and the
storekeeper says he will continue to sell to-
bacco.
There was a good deal of dickering be-
tween the churchmen and the storekeeper
about the sale of cigars. The members of
the Holiness Association asked him to
make a proposition to what he would
charge to refrain from selling tobacco dur
ing the two weeks of their meetings. The
owner of the restaurant. who derives much
profit from the sale Of the forbidden weed,
replied that 800 would suffice, but the Holi-
ness members did not think 1t was worth
that amount, and the sale Of cigars goes on.
The camp OF the Holiness Association was
held at Acton Park last year, but it is said
that one member explained that the atmos-
phere of the Methodist grounds was entire
~ too worldly for any good to be secured
from the sessions. The Greenwood Park
begins to take on busy appearance. Tents
are being erected and IL is expected that
about one hundred people will be in camp
A large dining tent was put up and every
thing will be done to have a successful
meeting. Among the prominent members
Of the organization who will speak are Rev.
Thomas Hodgins, of Greensborough, N c.;
Rev. John Hatfield, known as the Hoosier
evangelist, of Cleveland, Ind; Rev. Seth c.
Rees, of Chicago, and the Rev. w. c. Ave,
of Cayuga, Ind. Rev. d. G. Bacon, of this
city, will not be present.
The regular routine of the meetings will
begin TODAY.

WIN. BAXTER CRAwLED THROUGH
HOLE IN THE ATTIC WALL.
-Four or Five Policemen Worked Hard
I'm His Capture-Charge Against
Baxter and Wife.

William Baxter and Kittie Baxter, his
wife. OF so Indiana avenue. were arrested
yesterday afternoon by Patrolmen Admire
and Gillespie and Bicyclemen Askins and
Duncan and locked up at the police station,
charged with assault and battery and dis
turbing the peace.
Baxter and his wife, Ii Is said, went to
the home OF Mrs. Baxter's mother, at 5ls
West North street. yesterday afternoon and
started q fight, in which the old lady re-
ceived more than her share OF the punish
ment
The entire neighborhood was aroused by
the fighting, and a crowd OF about three
hundred people were assembled about the
house when the police arrived on the scene
On seeing the police Mrs. Baxter locked all
of the doors OF the house and sent her hus-
band Up into the attic and locked the door
after him with strong iron paddock The
police demanded admittance. but were re-
fused. and were forced TO break in the
front door to gain entrance to the house
Three locked doors were opened before the
attic could be reached. and, on seeing the
police enter the attic door, Baxter crawled
through narrow hole in the wall into the
attic OF the family occupying the other side
OF the house. With long stick two OF the
policemen went TO the other side of the
house and poked the man back through the
mole, IKE a rabbit In a hollow tree into the
arms OF the two policemen who were wait

trouble has been made by Baxter recently
and yesterdays arrest makes the third time

HEAT DROVE HIM CRAZY
AUGUST TAYLOR, OF LOUISVILLE, IN
A DEPLORABLE CONDITION.
Patrolman SamueIs Had All He Could
Do to Drag the Demented Man
to the Station.

August Taylor, Of Louisville, KY, was
arrested yesterday afternoon by Patrolman
Samuels at the corner of Illinois and WASH
ington streets, and by sheer force was
marched to the police station, where he
was locked up on a charge of insanity.
Taylor terrified women and children and
scared many of the sterner sex by his an
tics on the streets yesterday and crowds
followed the lone patrolman as he dragged
the demented man along the street to-
ward the city prison. but none offered
assistance. The man was in constant fear
that some person was making an attempt
70 end his life and seemed to think that
every passer-by had knife hidden in his
coat sleeve which was intended for use
on him. He would call out to people on
the street TO look out for the man with the
knife and would tell them that he had but
a moment before been stabbed.
AT the corner of Washington and Della
ware streets Taylor informed the policeman
that he had gone as tar as he intended and
would turn and go back towards the center
OF the city. From that time on IL was nee
essary for Patrolman Samuels TO drag his
man. push him and pull him until the door
or the police station was reached. Once in
side the police station and the trouble
had barely begun, for Taylor refused TO
enter the cell which was open to receive
him. and the combined efforts of two turn
keys and four patrolmen were necessary to
place the man behind the bars.
During the scuffie cries OF murder"
fire" and police" were emitted from the
mouth of the maniac. and he put up a
fight that would have done credit TO a man
of much larger stature.
He will be held at the police station
until this afternoon. when an insanity COM
mission will sit on his case. IL Is said that
IRENE heat OF the last few days, as he
complained along that line.

HALF HOLIDAY MOVEMENT.
Some of the Stores Close on Friday
and Others on Saturday.

Each year more and more of the large re-
tail stores are adopting the custom of CIV
ing their employees fewer working hours
during the hot months. In a number of
cases in this city it has been done for sew
eral years. but only within the last few
years have the dry goods stores taken UP
the custom of closing their doors at noon
on Saturday. The Bobbs- Merrill Con pany
has given it's employees an aftei =, off
each week for the past ten years, clos at
1890 o'clock every Saturday during he
three summer months. 1t is continuing the
custom this year. Beginning tomorrow
Charles Mayer & Co. will close Saturdays
at IL o'clock during the months of July,
August and September and will make their
working days from a. m. to p. m.
Most of the large dry goods houses will
also observe the habit of curtailing the
working days from now until fall II. p.
WATSON & Co. will give their employees the
first of the half holidays tomorrow, closing
at 1 o'clock. However, on the other days
they will keep open until in the evenings
Several years ago the company tried letting
Its employees off on Friday afternoons, but
the scheme did not work satisfactorily.
thinks that Friday is the most propitious
day to let its workers off. The manage
ment claims that it discommodes the public
less and the employees like it better than
Saturday. Consequently the store is closed
on that day at 1890 and at $50 on other
days during the summer On SATURDAY. the
store is open until o clock
L.. 5. Ayres q Co. close at IL 80 on Satur-
days and at o'clock on other days.
The clothing stores are making no dis
summer. The haberdashers and the music
stores are also not observing the custom.
Most of the large tailoring houses and
hardware stores expect to give their men
one afternoon off each week and work
shorter hours on other days. Kinks cloak
house and Besten & Langen give their en-
ployes a half holiday, as has been their
custom for years.

LUNATIC AT LARGE.
Harry McGrath Makes His Escape
from the Central Hospital.

An escaped lunatic from the Central Hos
pital for the Insane wandered the streets
OF indianapolis last night and frightened
women and terrified children by gazing at
them out Of his expressionless eyes. He
was seen time and again by pedestrians,
who made haste to get out of his way, not
knowing that he was regarded as harmless.
About o'clock last night Harry McGrath,
the man who caused the excitement,
knocked out a window in the ward where
ne was confined in the Insane Hospital tore
the iron bars out as If they were straws
and climbed to the ground by the aid of a
fre escape. His absence was noticed short
ly after he escaped, but In spite OF the fact
that a searching party was immediately
started In pursuit OF the runa way he eluded
them and was soon seen in the heart of the
city. The police were notified and a search
or the town was made. but up to an early
hour this morning the mailman was still
at large McGrath has given the author
ities at the hospital great deal of trouble
during the nine years he has been in con-
finement there, and has escaped three or
four times. His relatives live in the city
and II is thought that his plans are TO wait
until this morning. when he will make them
a friendly call. as that has been his custom
on former occasions.

SHORT WATER SUPPLY.


Chicago Is undergoing the same experience
In regard to a scarcity of water that is now
troubling Indianapolis. Yesterdays Inter
Ocean contained the following story of the
situation In the Windy City:
Although on the shores of the great in
land seas. Chicago is facing a water famine
that, IN the opinion of city officials, will
grow worse with every succeeding year
Too prodigal use, carelessness and abuse of
sprinkling privileges are the causes. Water
Superintendent Nourse holds out the only
remedy the installation OF water meters.
According to statistics, there is water and
to spare for every citizen. Despite these
official figures. however, there are hundreds
or nat buildings throughout Chicago in
which the water is seldom to be had by resi-
dents on the top floors. The figures follow:
Gallons
Pumped last year. 100 600 OOO 900
dsteu IN ieaks.....'............. gI5O0,OOO,OO0
Sprinknng ........."............... 9I5O,OOO,OOO
Used otherwise by citizens. % $50, 0O0, 600
CITY officials say that these figures show
why there Is water famine In many parts
Of Chicago. Water Superintendent Nourse
says he has never. In the history of the
water bureau. received so many complaints
from citizens who are unable TO get an ade-
Quate supply of water.
The following figures show the financial
policy governing the water bureau:
Expended in the last ten years on
pumping machinery ................ SO, 100000
Expended last year. 100000
Cost or installing 5000 meters. 100000
THE finance committee has had for a long
time an ordinance for the gradual installa-
ton of meters at the rate of 5000 a year.
Mr.. Nourse says that with the first 5000
meters the need for more machinery every
year would be obviated.
John Ericsson, recently city engineer, de-
clared that the first 5000 meters installed
would obviate the need for the annual ex-
penditure of 100000 to increase pumping
power, and, therefore, effect a saving OF
$500 600: The finance committee did nothing
with the ordinance.
In apartment buildings in which water
will not at all times in the day rise to the
upper stories the health department has for
long time been requiring the establishment
of tanks and machinery to pump water into
them"

TURNER DREW HIS PISTOL.


The case of Robert Turner, colored, who
was arrested on Wednesday night at River
side Park and slated at the police station
for carrying concealed weapons and draw
ing deadly weapons, was continued by
Judge Whallon, of the Police Court. yes
terday morning until tomorrow, in order to
give the colored man a chance to secure
witnesses.

revolver in his possession while at the park
with a colored girl neither would have
escaped beatings. or insults al the hands of
a crowd or bungaloos. When he and the
girl entered the park. he said, crowds of
whites gathered around him and did not
disperse until he drew his pistol and threat
ened to shoot. The girl corroborated the
