CITIZENS ENTER PROTEST
THEY DO NOT WANT BRIDGE PERMIT
GRANTED TO TRACTION LINE.
New Structure Should He Buflt I'm
Direct Line Of Northwestern
Avenue, They Believe.

A delegation of citizens of North indian
apolis win go before the Board of Works
to-day to protest against the granting of
permit to the Logansport Traction Com
pany to build bridge for its line across
Fall creek at Northwestern avenue. and to
petition for a new bridge to- take the place
Of the present structure, which is old and
in such condition that the heavy cars OF
the traction company cannot be run across
ii with safety.
The avenue makes a curve at Fall creek
and the present bridge is not in the direct
line of the avenue. The traction company.
1t is stated, asks a permit for a bridge
in the direct line of the avenue. the posi-
ton which the North Indianapolis people
believe should be reserved for a new bridge
at this time, urging that one should be built
that can be used by both the interurban
and the city cars, as well as vehicles and
pedestrians. A fifty-foot bridge is desired,
also. instead of the twenty-foot structure
contemplated.
ID. Nj. Parry, Ed Armstrong, John CHS
lett, James Monroe and William l.. Elder
are among those who are leading the move-
ment of the North Side citizens.

RUN TO MAMMOTH CAVE

BEERS STOP In THE CITY.
j. Walter Scott Talks About Miserable
Roads Found in Ohio-Seventeen
Machines on the Run.

]. Walter Scott. of Chicago. yesterday
Joined the members of the Chicago Auto
mobile Club who stopped off in the city
Saturday night on a run to Mammonth
Cave. Mr.. Scott came down from Detroit
and had expected to join the party at La
fayette Saturday, but he got in there little
late. Mrs. Scott Joined him there, and in
making the run in to-day they caught
President Gray, of the club, who was late
in starting from Chicago and could not
catch the other members of the party until
they made the stop in Indianapolis.
II enjoyed the run down from Detroit"
said Mr. Scott last evening at the Grand.
"for 1 had enough interesting experiences
to make a book However, l was certainly
up against it on the road proposition.
never would have believed that such miser-
able roads could be found in a civilized
country as i found for fifty-six miles in
Ohio. 1t took me nine hours to run that
distance, and 1 thought for while that
never would get through with whole ma
chine. After l got over into Indiana the
roads were not quite so bad and 1 made
40 miles in the second nine hours
There are now seventeen machines of the
Chicago club in the city, and the party
natl and the cave some time to-day. The
start may be delayed few hours, how
ever, as it was discovered last evening that
one of the machines has a bad rim, and it
may take some little time to get K re-
paired or replaced.

PUSHING WORK RAPIDLY
STREET-CAR COMPANY REPAVING
ALL IMPORTANT LINES.
Mayor BOOkwalter Pleased with Re-
suit of Order Issued Last Year
The Lines Improved.

BY the first of September the Indianapolis
Street-railway Company, in obedience to
the orders of Mayor Bookwalter, will have
completed the paving with brick between
the tracks and outside for eighteen inches
of every important street-railway trunk line
in the city. 1t will be the first time in his
tory that the city has been able to secure
an improvement of that nature on such a
large scale.
The street-railway company has already
finished paving with brick between the
tracks and the street for eighteen inches on
each side of the tracks on Massachusetts
avenue to the little depot, and on Senate
avenue, from Sixteenth street to Twenty
first street, and it is now working on West
Washington street. from White river to
Belmont avenue. When that work is COM
pleted the tracks from the L. E. e. w
tracks on East Washington street to Rural
street will be improved similarly Then
the ProSpect-street line will be given at
tent1on, and the company will pave be-
tween and outside the tracks on Prospect
street from the fountain to keystone ave-
nue.. That will complete the programme
undertaken when the orders were issued
by the mayor last year.
Mayor Bookwalter is much gratified at the
rapidity with which the work is being
pushed to a conclusion. He says the people
who live along the lines and the property
owners along the streets improved are COM
menting on the increased smoothness COM
fort and appearance of the lines since the
repaving was done.

Who Brought Their Coun-
try with Them.

Charles De Garmo. in Gunton's Magazine.
Our problem In Porto Rico is TO Amer
icanize million immigrants who have
brought their country with them. Had they
left it behind. distributing themselves
among US as other millions have done. there
would have been nothing new In the task
But. as matters stand, the work Is both
new and difficult.
To Americanize people OF other civiliza-
tions is to tit them for liberty and seif-gov-
eminent When foreigners come here We
expect little change In the adults, but place
our reliance in the education OF their chis-
dren. This education comes partly through
the school, but more largely through par
tlcipation in American life. In the case OF
Porto Rico, however, we can but partially
affect the school education OF the children.
and must content ourselves with what little
spirit of American life we can manage to
impart through our officials, teachers and
business men.
Porto Rican society seems TO have been
made up of two classes-the exploiters and
the exploited. The exploited number ninety
out OF every hundred inhabitants. We
sometimes think we know what explolta-
ton I'm its extreme form means. but really
we know very little about IL. In Porto
Rico IL means reduction 10 a nonm0ral
state. Marriage. even. was impossible
since the priests charged fees which were
prohibitiye for the masses. Ii meant 10 live
on bananas and plantains and 10 huddle
like beasts In a -one-ro0m shack without
beds tables or chairs. II meant that the
children should go naked and the adults b
clothed like sayages.

MISSION OF CHRIST.
'Set Christ aside and Herbert Spencer Is
not far wrong. Reason is admirable in fol-
lowing facts on our own plane-but reason
is as unfit to ascend and explore the infinite
mystery EMPOWERED in the background of
the universe as the child in the nursery
to climb the snowy crags of Mount Blanc.
Christ is a revelation. His object is to
educate human nature forward. His plan
is not negative, but positive. Punishment
may be included but only as a subordinate
instrument when men are too sunken to
respond to elevated arguments. Better be
saved by poor plan than never be saved
at all. Better, however, the nobler method
than the inferior. To aim at attempting
God within. TO propagate the elements or
His character in our character, to repro
duce the heavens in our earthly abodeS-
this Is inconceivably loftier as an inspira-
ton TO correct living than recoil from
sulphurous CULTS or torture rooms of pur-
gatory. For when our intelligence In
creases and these material pictures fade
away, there is danger of a relapse into
unbelief unless the positive love for God
for His own sake and the pursuit of virtue
for its indubitable worth is nur-
tured ir us that even il we expunge a hell
we still behold and adore the opaline beauty
of heaven. For the hatred of sin does not
involve in all cases the love of holiness.
This requires the positive element of char
acter and character is the essence of
heaven. 1 fear that friends too often
speak lightly of going to heaven as people
speak of going to grand opera or Atlantic
City for a recreation or even some serene
resort as a place for nerve cure Our
hymns often picture yon world a para
disc vocal with birds and scented with
blooms. The apostle Peter in this passage
speaks about an abundant entrance for
those who add faith and virtue and temper
ance and goodness and charity and abound
in those strong virtues To share Gods
home we must breathe His spirit. Any
other heaven is a phantom"

CHURCH FREE FROM DEBT
HAPPY DAY FOR CONGREGATION
OF BISMARCK-AVENUE CHURCH.
Pastors Of other Christian COngrega-
COngratulatOry Addresses.

Sunday was happy day in the history
of the Bismarck-avenue Christian Church,
located at the corner of Bismarck avenue
and Walnut street, Haughville. The re-
mainder of the debt was consumed in
flames, the mortgage, which has been re-
moved by the energetic members, being
burned at a special meeting yesterday
afternoon. This church was organized
about fourteen years ago, and the pastor,
the Rev. ]. M Garfield, has occupied the
pulpit for the past two years. The mort
gage was $3.50. and all but $50 of this amount
was raised in the last year. Mr.. Garfield
secured a large part of the money through
Church Union. which is organized for the
purpose of aiding weaker congregations,
also did much toward putting the Bis
marck-avenue Church on it's feet
A large audience was present at the
services yesterday afternoon many attend
ing from other churches over the city to
express their congratulations. Rev. j. NJ
Garfield presided, and after a song and
prayer made a few remarks concerning
the occasion for which the meeting was
called. Greetings were brought from ID.
Charles B. Newman, of the Third; b. L.
Allen, of the Morris-street Christian
Church, and A. L. circuit. of the Sixth.
Howard Gale. president of the Indianapo-
lis Christian Church Union, made a con-
gratulatory speech, in which he advised
the borrowing of enough money TO erect a
room in the rear of the building for bap-
tismal service. He extended the best wish
es of the union and hopes for much sue
cess. DR.. ]. II. Brill. of the Central Chris
tan Church, who is the representative to
the union from this congregation, made a
short talk.
Just before the singing of the doxology
Mrs. Fred Griffin, assistant superintendent
of the Sunday school, burned the mortgage
which ended the struggle of the past and
heralded the dawn of a new day.

Charles Tucker I'm the Tolls.

Charles Tucker, who is said to have a
police record, was arrested yesterday by
Patrolmen Cox and Tickle, charged with
having been connected with the robbery of
William Denny, colored, at Pearl and Mis-
souri, streets. about three weeks ago. The
police have been looking for Tucker ever
since the robbery. but he escaped them until
yesterday morning. He was arrested near
the scene of the robbery. John Dixon, who
was bound over to the grand jury last week
on the charge of having helped to rob
Denny, is said to be fuckers partner.
Tucker declares that Tucker" is not his
name but Patrolmen Cox and Tickle say
they know him, and know that they have
the right man.
