THE GAS

The effort to save the Consumers Gas
Trust Company for the original purpose of
its organization. the furnishing of gas to
the people of indianapolis. will culminate
in the meeting of the trustees of the COM
pany to-day for the purpose of electing
directors. If The Journal knows these
trustees-and it believes it does-a few
things may be counted upon with certainty.
In the first place, they will be thoroughly
advised of their powers in the matter by
the best legal talent obtainable, and will
be similarly advised as to the powers of the
company, whether it is competent for it to
construct a plant TO furnish artificial fuel
gas and whether any additional legislation
on the part of the city is necessary to this
end.
Again, the trustees will know before they
get through whether the active manage
ment of the company has done all within
its power to continue the natural gas serv-
ice, and whether it has done this in the
best way. They will know how the pump
ing stations have been conducted. and
whether there is any truth in the PROPOSE
tion that the dangerously uneven pressures
have been due to natural or artificial causes
In the work of COMPRISING the gas at the
| stations for pumping and regulating.
Furthermore, the trustees will, before
they finish their work, know all about the
financial condition Of the company. They
will know whether or not it has had suffi-
Gent resources to pay the last 5 per cent
of the original capital stock. with the
per cent. dividends thereon, and, If so
Why these payments have not been made
and the company thus put in a position t.
carry out the promise of its charter to fur
nish gas at actual cost. They will also
know If any of the assets of the company
have been disposed of, as alleged in the Ma
rott complaint. And, what is more to thu
point, they will know very thoroughly thu
men they elect as directors, and will know
that whatever policy they may determine
upon will be carried out. The members O.
this board are not only conscientious men
but very thorough men, and they will %
likely to get to the bottom Of thirgs.

by the negligence of the employees of the
company is not, as a general rule. entitled
to an action against the company to re-
cover damages beyond the limit of compen-
sation for the injury actually sustained.
In this case also the injured persons earn
ing powers are taken into account, and
reference may be had to his business at
the time of the accident. In addition to
this the injured person is entitled as dam
ages to compensation for the bodily injury
sustained. the pain suffered, the effect of
the injury on his health. according to its
degree and probable duration, the expenses
Of his sickness or treatment resulting from
the injury. and the pecuniary loss sus-
tanned by reason of inability to attend to
his business or profession. In the case of
a student there could be no estimate of
earning powers, and, of course. no allow
ance for interruption to his business or
profession. He would be allowed for his
bodily injuries, pain and suffering, and for
all expenses connected Herewith, and. if
crippled for life. he might be allowed for
the injury to his future earning capacity
10 IL reasonable amount In the case Oh
injuries, as in that of death, the theory of
the law is that the measure of damages
must be reduced as nearly as possible to
a money basis without reference to any
sentimental considerations. The fact that
a parent would not take a million dollars
for a child. or that a young man would not
part with one of his legs for a hundred
thousand dollars, cuts no figure in the
question of damages. The law says it must
be reduced to dollars and cents. This is
doubtless the reason why a large majority
OF such cases are compromised.

There are two sides to tho question of
regulating the speed of railroad trains
within the city limits. The preservation Of
human life should be the paramount OBJ
ject, though it is believed that more lives
are lost in cities by grade crossings than by
a high rate of speed. But the travelling
public demands speed, speed. and always
higher speed. As Superintendent Van Win
kle said yesterday: when people start
from New York or Lafayette or anywhere
else they want to get to their destination
as quickly as possible" Everybody knows
that is true. The ordinance makes the legal
rate of speed in this city five miles an hour.
Railroad men say that if this rule were en-
forced in all cities and towns it would in
crease the chedule time between New York
San Francisco by four and a half days.
They say it would take more than an hour
for some passenger trains to pass through
this city. 1t is doubtful if the travelling
public would submit to that. The regula-
ton of the question is not free from diff
culties, but it is not fair to charge all the
responsibility on the railroads when the
travelling public is constantly clamoring for
quicker time.

OLD AURORA B0REALIS.

Kansas City Star.
The telegraph companies arc having much
trouble with their wires to-day in all parts
of the country, particularly in the large
cities where the wires are in conduits. The
interruption is caused by the earth currents.

winter when the aurora barealis begins to

The delicate adjustment of duplex and

said Wire Chief Chester, of the Western
Union Telegraph Company, 1--WE worked
wires to St. Louis without any battery con-
nections at either end. We suffered & great
deal of delay in trying TO adjust our duplex
and quadruplex instruments. Indeed, this
was impossible at times, the waves OF cleo
tricity coming out of the earth in Irregular
waves, sometimes too strong for any in
strument TO carry, and again too weak to be
of any use. We are getting along better
now"
Chief Operator Atchison, Of the Western
Union Telegraph Company. said all business
from the East was being delayed this morn
ing by foreign currents.
In the Northwest territories the telegraph
people are always prepared for the aurora
borealis and frequently send bundles OF
kilograms from Vancouver 10 Winnipeg. or
from that city to Montreal by mail. But in
the central States of the Union the earth
currents are seldom felt, probably not often
er than once in three or four years.

THE FRIARS' N

Word comes from the Vatican that a So
luton of the vexed question of Catholic
Church lands and the presence of the friars
in the Philippines is nearing a solution.
These lands are held by the Dominican,
Augustinian, Franciscan and Recoletean Or
ders. and members of these orders have
been used in the work of the Catholic
Church in the archipelago for many centu-
ries. In round figures they hold their lands
now at 100000 and the American gov
eminent offers for them $4,000, 600, these fig
ures showing considerable concessions on
both sides from the basis on which the ne
%gotiations were begun. 1t Is believed that
further concessions on both sides will soon
result in the sale of the lands, the money to
be invested In government bonds or other
good securities for the benefit of Catholic
Church work in the Philippines.
Once the sale of the lands is consum-
mated the question Of whether or not the
and will be taken care of by the church au-
thorities without further worry for the
government. The Vatican has been work
ing very intelligently to this end, for more
than two years. by gradually placing all the
ecclesiastical power in the Philippines in
the hands of American p~relates. This policy
was begun by Pope Leo and has been con-
tinued even more rapidly by Pope Plus,
until now the whole machinery of the
church in the islands is in. the hands OF
Americans. When the friars have sold their
lands 1t will be for the American Arch
bishop of Manila and his American lieuten-
ants, the bishops of Cebu, Jaro and Neuva
Segovia to say whether the aatipathy OF
the Filipinos toward the friars is still such
as to make them useless in the church
work, and, If they cannot be used in the
work of the church, there will be nothing
for them to do but depart.
This was a new and vexed question 70,
American craftsmanship to deal with, ant
the civilized world will no doubt agree
that the American method of handling il
will compare favorably with that of tn,
French republic, which has been dealins
with the same question in France in &
manner that cannot but seem harsh anc
sometimes cruel. Yet the French NIGH
have had exactly the same sort of ait
from the Vatican that we have had for tn,

sanitation of this claim they point TO the
fact that Mr.. Beck was active last year IN
securing the nomination and election of
two members Of the Legislature, who were
ardent Beverage men.

sion will doubtless be a busy one. but l

Cary c. Cowgirl, of Wabash, was one of
the callers at Senator Beveridges office
yesterday. The Wabash politician was
closeted with the junior senator for some
little time, and when he emerged from the
senator's private ofic his face bore a SER

however, he said that he had merely been
making a social call on the senator.

John w. Lewis, postmaster of Hunting

Queer weather station.
Minneapolis Tribune.

Minneapolis Tribune.
One of the sights of Atlantic City is the
peculiarly shaped structure at the foot OF
Pennsylvania avenue. on the ocean side Of
the Boardwalk. 1t is the new weather sta
ton erected by the government. and its
plan is so odd that it is regarded as a most
attractive curiosity by the countless num-
Der of visitors who flock 10 the seaside dur
ing the warm months.
1t is said TO be the most queerly con-
structed building ever erected by Uncle sam.
1t has been popularity named the shell. on
account of its likeness TO the growth OF the
sea so commonly found on the sands.
This oval structure, formed OF steel and
galvanized iron, has been completed at a
cost of 5000. 1t shows the colors so dear
to the heart of an American, having been
painted in red, white and blue. The ex-
terror and the fancy cornice are OF blue
the interior is of white and the ribs are or
red.
The structure is so conspicuous that IL
can be seen for many miles up and down
the coast, and is visible from a great dis
lance at sea.
A huge weather map, with glass front, on
which is traced daily the changes OF the
weather, the direction and velocity OF the
wind. the temperature, ETC.. as reported 10
the Central Weather Bureau at Washing
ton, and now telegraphed daily TO the state
Observatory now located at Atlanuc CITY,
has been installed.
Visitors will have the opportunity TO OBJ

they are in the neighborhood of the shell
station.
