Are Decided Upon.

At meeting of the directors of Butler
College yesterday at the Columbia Club
plans were discussed in regard to the adj
visibility of changing the present prepara-
tory system. Instead of preparatory de-
partment it was suggested that they fur
nish only the preparatory instruction nee
essary to enable freshmen to make up their
deficient work. The directors decided to
adopt this suggestion and to concentrate
their energy in the development of other
lines of college work. Final action as to
the pedagogical department was referred
to a later meeting.
The resignation of Prof. Omer Wilson,
superintendent of the preparatory depart
ment, was received and accepted with re-

FIRST CHRISTIAN CONGREGATION
ANNOUNCES PLANS.
Building VIII he Erected at Martini
dale Avenue and Seventeenth Street
ministerial Institute.

A new Christian church will soon be
erected at the corner of Martindale ave-
nue. and Seventeenth street. The cost will
be about 5000 and the structure will be
modern in every detail. The lot is fifty
five and one-half by 40 feet. The build
ing is to be put up by the members of the
First Christian Church, also known as the
East Seventeenth-street Christian Church,
of which the Rev. ]. F. Morris is pastor.
Work will likely be begun on the church
this summer

ference of Christian Churches, composed of
Rev. L. w. Hercules. of Center; Rev. NJ.
NJ. Wiles, of Kirkland; Albert Cody, of
Palestine. ILL.,; Rev. j. F. Norris, of In
dianapolis; Rev. G. d. Foster, of Kempton;
Rev. H. B. Whitecotton. of Indianapolis.
and Rev. M. c. Teter, of Goldsmith. will
meet next week to take official action on
the matter, but the preliminary arrange
ments have been made and the plans have
been approved. All that is necessary is
the sanction of the committee. which has
been assured.
The new church will be a memorial
church, to be built by the State Conference,
which intends erecting houses of worship
all over the State. This will be the Sec
ond, the other being at Muncie. The pastor
of the Muncie church is the Rev. J. F. Bur-
nett. This Christian Church is not of the
sect called "Campbellites," although the

cation, of which Mr.. Morris is pastor,
while bearing the title of Christian, is alto
gether a different sect from that termed
Disciples.
The Christian Church was organized
about 1898 and sprang from the Methodist
Episcopal Church on account Of a rupture
to government. The Rev. j. O'Kelley
one of the founders, and the new
sect was first seen most prominently in
North Carolina. An invitation was ex-
tended to all Christians, irrespective of
sect, and the church is entirely congrega-
tional, allowing individual Interpretation Of
in this section of the United States, but
has a large following in other parts of the
country.

the Indiana Miami Reserve Conference,
which has been in session at the First
Christian Church, closed last night with
a sermon by the Rev. j. F. Burnett, of
Muncie, who preached on BE Ye Ready
to Every Good" Yesterday morning the
Rev. J. r. Morris talked on the purpose
of the existence of evil. His sermon was
interesting and one of the best of the ses-
sion.
The session was to have continued to-
day and this evening, but for various rea-
sons was closed last night.

MCCULLOUGH SEES KEACn
SATISFIED, HE THEN ANNOUNCES
HIS CANDIDACY FOR MAYOR.
Chairman Tells Him Democratic Ma
chine Will Be No Candidates Auto
mObile-LocaI Political Gossip.

James E. Mccullough has formally an
nounced his candidacy for mayor on the
Democratic ticket. Mr. Mccullough has
been expected TO say yes for several
days, but he has been coy or cautions
His mind was made up yesterday, after a
visit to Chairman Reach. He said he wen,
to see Mr.. Reach TO thoroughly under
stand his attitude, as chairman, toward
candidates for nomination. He says Mr..
Reach satisfied him that he would not per-
NIT the Democratic organization to become
any candidates machine. and as this was
the last point OF consideration, he made a
formal announcement that he would seek
the nomination.
Mr.. Mccullough has lived in Indianapolis
since 1883, and has been a representative
in the Legislature from this county. For
several years he was in law partnership
with Henry n. Span. Mr.. Mccullough is
well known as lawyer and public speaker,
and he was on the committee that prepared
the Indianapolis city charter. He has also
been interested in legislation for primary
election reform.
At the outset of the Reach movement
McCullough's name was connected with
the mayoralty contest Hoffman was
really believed to be Keach's man until
Reach declared at a public meeting that If
Holtzman should in the end be the candi-
date he would have to win his spurs be-
fore he could wear them" The idea has
not vfsibly diminished that Reach would
like to see Hoffman nominated. Mr..
Hoffman has been receiving numerous ad-
visors, and they unanimously urge him 10
become a candidate
In the meantime Joseph z. Bell maintains
silence as TO whether he will be a candidate
or whether he has ever been one Mr.. Bell
seems to be taking ample time to judge the
character Of the field before he makes up
his mind. Friends of other candidates are
speaking of him ideal city attorney.
Mr. Bell was deputy city attorney under
Kern and Leon o. Bailey.
