tional.

ment Is Conspiring Again Pres
ent Administration.
BARREL HOUSES NEAR

Friends Of the city administration are
making the charge that the liquor inter
ests of Indianapolis trying TO wreck
the Hoffman administration. This charge
is based letter received yesterday by
the Board of Public Works. from one
Snyder" who did not sign his full name

short one, as follows:

'Gentlemen-No dippers on the following
fountains: Corner of Meridian and Nc
Carly streets, in front of barrel house.
Corner Dunlap street and Madison avenue.

OF the dippers from those particular foun-
tains is Indicative of some fell design on
the part of the neighboring liquor houses.
Query: Would man, intent on getting
drink of some sort description, having
tried to get a dipperful of water from a
fountain, and having failed. have recourse
to the nearest saloon or brewery for a

ANOTHER VERSION OF
VATICAN MONEY STORY
100000 Alleged to Have Been
Restored by a REGULATING
Official.
AN, INDIRECT CONFESSION

ROME, Dec. 22.-According to the Mes
sagero the story that Cardinal Gotti. pre-
feet of the Propaganda, recently handed
to the Pope 100000. said to have been
confided to the cardinal by the late Pope
Leo XIII, originated in the fact that in the
financial investigation following Pope Leos
death deficit of over 100000 was found.
After diligent search and although no pos
tive proof was obtainabIe it appeared evil
dent that the only person who could know
where the money had gone was a certain
monsignor living In the Vatican. He at
first asserted that he knew nothing of the
matter. but being more closely questioned
and the evidence gathering against him, he
one day said to the Pope: BE patient,
God will provide for the needs of the Holy
See" Soon afterwards the monsignor ap-
peared with friend and said that Pope
Leo had confded the money TO him, re-
questing him 10 return it to his successor

The Christmas chimes are pealing high
Beneath the solemn Christmas sky.
And blowing winds their notes prolong
Like echoes from an angels song;
GOOD will and peace. peace and good will"
Ring out the carols glad and gay.
Telling the heavenly message still,
That Christ the child born to-day.
In lowly hut and palace hall
Peasant and king keep festival.
And childhood wears fairer guise
And tenderer shine all mothers eyes.
The aged man forgets his years.
The mirthfui heart Is doubly gay,
The sad are cheated Of their tears
For Christ the Lord was born to-day
