WILL DECIDE TOMORROW
WORKS BOARD WILL RETURN An
SwER TO RAILROAD COMPANY.
Belief Exists that New Line to Chi
cage Will Get It's Franchise
Elevated Track Question.

w will decide Monday morning whether
the question of granting a franchise to
the Indianapolis. Logansport & Chicago
Railroad shall go to the Council Monday
night"
This announcement was made last night
by Harold c.. Megrew. president of the
Board of Public Works. The matter likely
will be discussed in open session. The
board has not considered the roads petition
in executive session, Mr.. Megrew said.
From Mr.. Megrew's statement that the
board will decide tomorrow whether the
matter of granting a franchise to the In
dianapolis. Logansport & Chicago Railroad
shall be considered by the Council to-mor-
row night is taken to Indicate that the road
is to be given a franchise. For, if the
Board OF Works did not consider the roads
petition favorably there would be nothing
for the Council to decide in the matter.
Ii the Board OF Works refuses to grant a
franchise then the matter is dead and
Council has nothing to do with il.
Not the smallest bit OF information has
been given out which would indicate what
the Board of Works proposes to do in re-
gard TO track elevation in deciding upon
the petition of the new read. The Com
mercial Club has protested against the
road being granted a franchise unless the
franchise provides that the road elevate
its tracks in the city at once. Quincy A.
Myers. of Logansport, secretary of the
road. was before the Board of Works and
declared that the Indianapolis. Logansport
& Chicago Railroad should not be required
to elevate Its tracks unless all the roads in
the city do so. People living along the
route of the road between Indianapolis and
Logansport have written to the Board of
Works asking that the franchise be grant
ed whether the road is willing to elevate
it's tracks or not. Most of the leading real
estate brokers of the city say the new road
would be a big thing for the city.

COULD NOT PUT HIM OFF
CONDUCTOR AND MOTORMAN VAINLY
FOUGHT WITH MILLER.
The Latter Sues Indiana Union Trac-
ton Company for $4,000 as Result
of Treatment Received.

In the Superior Court yesterday George
B. Miller, of Pendleton, secretary and
treasurer of the ingalls, Lime and Cement
Company, filed suit against the Indiana
Union Traction Company for $1,000 for per-
sonal injuries sustained July L.
1t is claimed by Miller that on that date
he was a passenger on one of the COM
pany's interurban cars from Pendleton to
ingalls,. He rendered a s. bill to Conductor
Chester Monks in payment of his scent
fare. The conductor had no change, but
said he would get it presently. Just as they
were leaving Pendleton Miller was told by
the conductor that he would have to get off.
Miller refused and the conductor
to put him off. A struggle resulted and
Miller remained on the car, the trainman
being unable to carry out his threat. He
then called on the Motorman, Clement
Young, and the two together were equally
unsuccessful. The three men then strug-
gled in the car for several minutes. when
the passengers on the car prevented
Miller's election. One Of the passengers
paid Mfller's fare, and he was later able to
get change for his bill from another of the
passengers to repay the man who had paid
his fare. The motorman and conductor
were later brought before the town clerk
of Pendleton and fined each s. and costs
for assault and battery.
1t is declared that the offer of IS was a
good tender on the part of Miller and that
the conductor misled him when he said he
would get the change.

MUST MIND P'S AND Q'S.


Members OF the local companies Of the
Indiana National Guard are much inter-
ested in the coming military m~aneuvers,
which will be held at West Point, Ky. In
diana will be one OF the seven States TO
participate In the event, and the compa-
MES are all planning 10 make a good show
ing at the time of the display. Besides the
States OF Indiana. Ohio, Kentucky. Ten
nessee. Michigan, Wisconsin and Illinois.
the regulars, which are on duty in the de-
partment OF the lakes. will take part In the
exercises.
The troops will not be massed together,
as IL would require too much time 30 ham
die such a large army. but will be brought
to the camp in three divisions. OF about
3.0o0 men each. The details OF the arrange
ments have not yet been stated.
The commanders OF the different compa-
MES are already following out the orders OF
General Mckee. 10 hold as many drills as

WRIGHT s. JORDAN DEAD
WELL-KNOwN RAILROAD MAN Sue
UMB TO BRIEF
He Was Travelling Passenger Agent
of the Big Four, and n Man of
Great Business Ability.

After a short illness Wright s.. Jordan.
travelling passenger agent of the Big Four
Railroad. died early yesterday morning at
the Deaconess Hospital. Mr.. Jordan was
sick only a week, and last Wednesday was
removed to the hospital, where it was
hoped he would speedily recover. His death
was a great shock and surprise to his rela-
tives and friends. Infammation of the
bowels was the cause of DEATH.
Mr.. Jordan came to Indianapolis in 1850
and opened a ticket brokerage Office on
South Illinois street, and five years later,
on account of his bushes ability, was ap-
pointed travelling passenger agent of the
Big Four Railway.
He Is survived by his widow and laughter
Marguerite. The funeral will be held from
the residence, 22l0 North Illinois street, on
Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock and the in
terment will be at Crown Hill.

ed that two trophies be put up. one to be
held by the company that makes the pest
score in target practice during me year;
guardsman that makes the best score at
target practice during the same time, TO De
held a year at a time by the company ana
guardsman winning them
OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS.
Other recommendations in the report are:
That the entire guard be supplied with
service uniform and an extra blue flannel
shirt before the fall maneuvers at West
Point, KY, that the companies be required
to practice guard duty at their home sta
tions; that officers carry revolvers instead
of swords, except on ceremonial occasions,
and that the companies be inspected during
the year at their home stations by an offi-
Ger. The assembling of the guard for en-
campments on Sunday was termed of doubt
full propriety. So many cheap excursions
running on that day preventing sufficient
transportation being obtained to assemble
the guard promptly.
The complaint in regard to the armory
allowance Is taken up, and 1t is suggested
that the next Legislature be asked 10 erect
armories in the larger cites. ACCORDING 10
the report labor unions affect the L. y. u.
in a minor degree, so small in fact that 1t
would be useless to consider 1t were II not
for the prevalent opinion that they are an

antagonism is more apparent than real is
a question. The militia belongs to the ex-
ecutive branch of the government and acts
only under the orders of the Governor
when civil authorities fail. 1t would seem
that any organized body that antagonizes
the militia would be ranging itself against
law and order, the report says.
MATTER OF PATRIOTISM.
1t is stated in the report that a general
complaint Is made that employers of the
guardsmen refuse to permit some of them
TO camp without loss of their positions.
Patriotism would suggest that these en-
ployers urge their men to attend to their
military duties and pay them their wages
while absent. During war or a riot these
guardsmen willingly and without murmur
stand between their employers property
and destruction.
The work of the Evansville company is
highly commended in the riot at that city.
Their s~elf-control and the preservation of
their fire TO the final and critical moment,
and the fact that the officers were able TO
control their fire at the end of the first vol
ley, is the best evidence OF the superior
discipline of the company"
The report states that the guard was very
fortunate in being able TO secure the serv-
ices of Colonel Wagner and Captain Win
ship. of the regular army, during the en-
campment, and that much good will come
from their visit 10 the camp.

Condition of the Jails.

Secretary Butler. of the State Board of
Charities. left last night for Michigan City
TO attend a meeting of the Prison Reform
Board. which will be held tomorrow. One
of the important questions for discussion
at the meeting is the condition OF some OF
the county jails OF the State. Warden
Reid. president of the board. at the request
OF the Governor has been making a rigid
examination OF the county jails and will
report his result to the board tomorrow.
Secretary Butler said that the conditions of
some OF the jails were very bad. especially
in the counties OF Floyd and Delaware.

Labor COMMISSIONS Mccormack will leave
to-nigh for Clay City, where the Labor
Commission has been called to arbitrate a
question of a scale of wages in the Clay
City Packing Company. The question will
be considered tomorrow. There are about
$50 employees in the factory and they desire
to have a contract with their employers
drawn up according 10 law. The contract
will probably involve a slight increase in
the wages of the working people.

Back in Washington il special
report, submitted last year by A. r.
Green, special agent of the interior
department, which it is alleged
there, was the last argument that
induced President Roosevelt to de-
mand, imperatively, Commissioners
Herman's resignation. Calls for
that report have been made in
Washington. Influential men of
national prominence have request
ed to be permitted to see it. The
interior department has answered
all requests with the statement that
such reports are confidential, and,
when detrimental to the standing
of any official, they are retained
from the people. The inference has
been that that report could not be
published, unless by the consent Of
Mr.. Hermann. The proposition
made sometime ago by the Reame's
people that Mr.. Hermann produce
the Green report has been ignored.
To ignore it was to say in effect
that they dare not produce it. Is
not such an inference logical, and
nstifed by the situation2 If Mr..
Hermann could safely do SO, would
he not do SO?
