A WORD TO AUToMOBILIsTs.

The Journal has never discouraged the
use OF any new convenience for humanity.
but it has no hesitation in discouraging its
abuse. and certainly there is a disposition
on the part of a very considerable number
of automobilists to utterly abuse the priv
ilege of the streets given their machines.
Fortunately there have been comparatively
few serious accidents from this cause In In
dianapolis thus far, but the hairbreadth
escapes have been legion, and it has been
remarkable that there have not been more
fatalities
The city has an ordinance regulating the
speed at which automobiles may be run in
the city, but the difficulties in the way of
its enforcement are obvious. The swiftness
of the machine makes escape easy for the
culprit, and the means of Identification are
inadequate in daylight and utterly worthless
at night, when most of the fast running is
done. Almost any evening, on various resi-
dence streets, if one will but wait few
minutes. he is pretty sure to see a machine
whizz by at rate of anything from twenty
to thirty-five miles an hour. This is re-
garded as sport by the occupants. and if
1t were dangerous to them alone it might
not be so Objectionable. but it is dangerous
to everybody on the street. Indeed, not
few Of the principal residence streets are
becoming nearly as dangerous as an open
railroad track where there is frequent
switching.
Automobiles should take this matter in
| hand themselves and assist in enforcing the
law as it stands. Otherwise the people will
be driven to demand much more drastic
legislation. In some cities of Germany they
have found way by making it INSIDE
meanor to drive an automobile along any
street not occupied by trolley roads. and one
or two English towns have adopted regula-
| tons driving all machines above certain
power, admitting of not more than twelve
| miles an hour. off the streets altogether
Where any practice becomes a dangerous
nuisance a way can always be found to
| stop it,

The FOUR.YEAR COURSE
GRADUATES IN OSTEOPATHY MUST
CONFORM TO STANDARD.
Board of Medical Reputation and
Examination Falls Into Line
with Other States.

BY taking the stand that all physicians
to the Indiana examinations for physicians
licenses shall have graduated from a four
year course in all branches Of medicine
except the science of the administering of
medicine, the Indiana State Board Of Med
ical Registration and Examination has
fallen into line with number Of other
States in different parts of the country to
bring the reputable schools of osteopathy
up to the standard Of the best old-school
medical colleges.
The Indiana board has, within a few
years. enlarged it's scope and requirements
until students who have not graduated
from a reputable college whose course is
to the examinations for licenses. But this
high standard of work does not tend to les
sen the number of those physicians who
want to practice in Indiana. The class being
examined this week Is the largest ever ex-
amined in Indiana. The semi-annual ex-
animation will be concluded this evening.
The last meeting of the National Associ-
alton of State Medical Examiners expressed
itself as favoring a higher standard among
the colleges and schools of osteopathy. The
Indiana board adopted a resolution this
week by which the college or school of
osteopathy from which it will admit APP
plicants to the examinations for State
licenses shall be different from the old
school medical colleges in just one thing
that they shall not be required to teach
materia medica: the science of the admin
istering of medicines In all other respects
the institutions of osteopathy must be on
an equal standard with the homeopathic
and allopathic schools and colleges.

As TO OUR WATER SUPPLY.

The recent investigation of the city water
supply was water haul' as far as dis
covering any material impurity was con-
cerned. The investigation had it's origin In
sensational rumors. and was not called for
by the unusual prevalence of typhoid fever,
which Is sure sign Of contaminated water.
AS long there are no decided indications
of the prevalence of typhoid fever in COM
,munity it is safe to assume that the water
water supply may be at present. II is graft
flying to know it will soon be rendered
almost ideally pure by one of the best sys-
TENS of sand filtration in the country. AS
between sand filtration and mechanical
filtration there is doubt that the former
is vastly superior. The latest investigation
on that point was made by a committee of
the United States Senate in connection with
the establishment of a filtration system in
Washington. The report of three filtration
engineers employed to investigate the SUBJ
ject at Washington was unqualifiedly in
favor of sand filtration over mechanical,
and the Senate committee reported that
''the fact that slow sand filters have been
doing efficient work for three-quarters of a
century under widely diverse conditions of
operation in the largest cities of the world
would make the argument from experience
conclusive in favor of the slow sand sys-
tenn"
AS the future water supply Of this city
Is to be drawn from an inland stream, the
question of filtration as an assurance of
purity is a very important one. The Senate
committee found, after careful inquiry that
In four American cities where sand filtra-
ton systems were put in there was an
average reduction Of rs per cent in the
number of deaths from typhoid fever while
seven cities which used the mechanical
process showed an average increase of 20
per cent. In Berlin, Germany. the deaths
from typhoid fever were reduced from one
in every 5000 OF the population before ultra
results were reported in other cities. While
typhoid fever has not prevailed here 10 an
alarming extent. there is every reason to
believe that the death rate from that cause
will be materially reduced after the in
stallation OF the sand filtration system
This will be in about four months. The
capacity OF the plant will be 100000 gall
Ions per day. and it will be increased as the
future growth OF the city may require
After Its installation every gallon OF water
used by the city or It's people for any pur-
pose whatever will be as nearly ideally pure
as the most improved methods can make it.
| and its standard will be maintained by
| tests and analyses made hourly by .

LAD KICKED BY A HORSE
HE OBLIG!NGLY HELD THE ANIMAL
FOR THE OWNER.
While the Latter Was I'm a Drug Store
the Boy Was Hurt-Skun Ire
pinned at Hospital.

William Winburn. the six-year-old son Of
George L. Winburn of 227 East Minnesota
street, was kicked in the head by horse
last evening in front of 1901 South East
street and was taken to the City Hospital
in the hospital ambulance in an unconscious
condition. An examination at the hospital
showed that the skull had been fractured
by the blow from the horses hoof and ii
was necessary to perform an operation as
part of the bone had penetrated the brain.
The skull was trephined by DR.. Jobes, as
sisted by DR.. Wallace, the hospital sur
geon and the boys condition was reported
as much improved at an early hour this
morning.
Young Winburn was playing in front of
Painters drug store with some other boys
when Oscar Neister drove up In a buggy
and. jumping out, asked Winburn If he
would hold the animal until he could make
some purchases in the drug store. Win
panions drifted on toward their homes.
When the owner of the animal returned
from the drug store he found the lad lying
on the pavement in an unconscious condi-
ton and he called the ambulance. No one
could be found who saw the horse kick the
boy, but ne undoubtedly injured in
that manner. DR.. Wallace, of the City
Hospital stated last night that he was
quite positive that Winburn would recover
and said he did not anticipate any compli-
cations from the operation.

International steve Mounters' Union
quarters Question Goes Over.

After heated discussion yesterday aft
ernoon the International Stove Mounters
Union, which is holding its tenth annual
convention in this city in the Cleveland Club
Hall, decided to increase the monthly dues
from 80 to 20 cents. A greater part of the
afternoon was devoted 10 the matter, and.
although there was some objection to the
increase, most of the discussion centered
about the determination of the increase. The
per capita tax. which goes TO the general
fund, the defense fund and the death ben
efits, was also increased from so TO As cents.
Another important matter brought up
the resolution offered by the resolution COM
mittee that the Iron Molders, the Metal
Polishers and the Stove Mounters adopt a
universal label. At present each union has
a different label, making three labels on
each piece turned out of the shops. The
convention adopted the resolution and au-
thorized the committee to confer with the
executives of the other unions about the
adoption of one label
The motion TO move the unions headQuar-
tiers from Detroit to indianapolis came up
In the morning, and was laid on the table
10 be acted upon to-day or tomorrow.
A matter of some Importance to-day will
be the ratification of rates agreed upon be-
tween the Stove Mounters and the Stove
Founders National Defense Association at
their conference in May. The latter asso-
citation is composed of manufacturers, and
committees from both organizations meet
annually and adjust the yearly scale Of
wages and the prices new stoves. The
committee on officers will also report to-day.
Several changes and amendments were
made in the constitution yesterday. They
were recommended by the constitutional
committee and ratified by the convention.
The delegates of the convention were pho
tographed yesterday at the monument steps.
About fifty were in the picture. Tonight
the convention banquet will be held in the
Cleveland Club Hall.

THE EVANSVILLE MOB AND THE
MILITIA.

The recent riot in Evansville has resulted
in bringing out some disagreeable facts
relative to social and political conditions in
that city. The latest Is a statement that
five members of the local militia company
that responded to orders and rendered good
service against the mob have been dis
charged by their employers from positions
formerly held by them. Three of the men
were employed by breweries. one by a
druggist and one by a grocer. No other
cause for their discharge was assigned ex-
cept that they. had served in the militia.
though 1t was added that union labor had
demanded their dismissal. AS the wide
open saloon policy is said to have been a
main cause Of the lawless spirit in Evans
vile, and as the breweries the main
supporters of that policy, it is not surpris-
ing that they should make service in the
militia against mob drawing its inspira-
ton largely from the saloons, cause for dis
missal from their employment. While
gagged in promoting lawlessness they could
hardly be expected to retain in their
ployment persons who assisted in putting
it down. AS for the other cases. they
showed their sympathy with lawessness by
yielding to local clamor which demanded
the punishment of men who served in the
militia. If it is true as stated. that the la
Dor unions any OF them demanded the
dismissal Of the militiamen from their bust
ness positions, then the burden of proof is
on the unions 10 show why they sympa-
thize with lawlessness and mobs against
law and order. The National Guard of In
diana represents the strong of the
State for the enforcement of law. 1t stands
behind the State government for the sup
preston of lawlessness in any part of the
State where the local authorities are not
equal to the task. Its services are never
volunteered 1t only turns out when or
dered to do so. and then in the performance
of high duty. 1t simply obeys orders
which are necessary to the enforcement of
law and to the peace and welfare of the
State. Therefore, whoever condemns the
militia for turning out in obedience to or
| ders to enforce the laws thereby shows
| himself at heart sympathizer with law
lessness and with mobs. The breweries and
| business men of Evansville who have dis
| charged employees because they served in
| the militia have put themselves on record
as favoring lawlessness instead of law Ac-
| cording to any just standard of American
| citizenship, they should in any time of
tumult or danger be ranked with the vicious
| element of society.
These facts show that the atmosphere of
Evansville is permeated by influences which
do not make for good citizenship. and it be-
hooves the good citizens of the town to try
and devise a remedy. 1t is not creditable
to the city nor to the State that at time
when the press generally throughout the
| country is praising the Governor for his
promptness in suppressing the mob Evans
! Vile men should be losing their employ
| ment on account of their service in the

Will MEET AGAIN TO-DAY
MACHINISTS' COMMITTEE GOES To
WABASH TO INVESTIGATES.
Point at Issue Is n shorter Day, and
VIII Be Left with the Employees
mt wabash.

Although a conference was held yesterday
morning in ar effort 10 adjust the trouble
between the rnachinists and the employers
in the Big Four shops at Wabash. nothing
was accomplished and the matter Will be
brought up again this morning i'm similar
conference. AT the conference yesterday
were d. w. Roderick. of Chicago, business
agent of the nlachinists employed by the
Big Four; Thomas Hawkes., secretary OF
the district lodge of machinists; George
Thomas, chairman of the district lodge; w.
Grass, delegate from the district; twelve
representatives of the machinists' unions In
the Big Four shops in this State and Will
liam Garstang. superintendent of motive
power of the Big Four.
Mr.. Garstang represented the Big Four
and stated that il would not yield TO the
demands of the machinists for nine hours
work day instead of ten. The agreement,
he said, specified that the men were TO
work nine hours a day as long as enough
machinists could be secured to accomplish
the work. But he said there was more
work on hand than the men could do in a
nine-hour day. The machinists asked that
they be allowed to go to work under the
creased revert to the ten-hour schedule. Mr..
Garstang refused to consider this PROPOSE
ton, stating that the company meant to
employ its men the accustomed ten hours.
The machnists asked that they be given
time to consider the matter, and hence the
conference again to-day. 1t will be held in
Mr.. Garstang's Office at the Big Four shops.
COMMITTEE AT WABASH.
The committee representing the machin-
lists, composed of d. w. Roderick, Thomas
Hawkes., George Thomas and w. Grass,
went to Wabash yesterday afternoon to
confer with the striking machinists in the
shops there. 1t is understood that the
proposition will be presented to the men
and If they agree to go back to work at
the same conditions the committee will APP
prove the decision and the matter Will be
settled. On the other hand, II the strikers
a definite proposition will be drawn up and
presented at the conference to-day. If the
disagreement cannot be settled satisfactor-
lily appeal will be made to President In
CALLS and, in case this fails, general
strike will probably be called in all the Big
Four shops. Mr.. Garstang said last night
that il the men refused TO go back TO work
the company would have to bring In ma
chinists from surrounding cities.
The point at issue in the Wabash shops is
not a large one. The regular working day
of a machnist is nine hours, and the Bis
Four plant at Wabash has been working
the men ten hours. Last week the mer
asked for a curtailment to the regular nine
hour day. The demand was refused and
hence the walkout of the men.

Warren Bgler, OF Wabash, former secre-
tary of the Republican state committee ard
present member of the executive commit
tee, was caller at headquarters yesterday.
The only political news he brought with him
was the confirmation OF the report that
James F. Statesman, of Peru. viii be a can
didate for lieutenant governor. II haven't
talked with Statesman myself" said Mr..
Bgler, but on the Fourth of July he made
a speech in our county in which he said he
had not fully decided what he would do
and few days later a Peru man who is
close 10 him told me that Statesman had
determined to be a candidate"
Apropos of Warren Sayre's reputation for
caustic comment, Mr.. Bigler told a story
that is decidedly pat.
Some time ago Sayre was employed as
an attorney TO defend company against
suit for exorbitant fee brought by an
other attorney" said Mr.. Bigler, land when
he and the officers of the company held
opinion that the other lawyer was after
everything in sight. Several sharp COM
ments had been exchanged about the law
yer, and finally they all turned to Sayre.
i think said Warren in his deliberate
way, that this man is certainly entitled to
unusual distinction, and when he dies /
don't know of more appropriate monu-
ment that could be erected over his grave
than can of lard with this inscription:
Here lies John Blank. and this is what he
was all through Hfe-pure hog.
James P. Goodrich, chairman of the Re-
publican state committee, was here yester-
day and spent few hours at headquarters.
II can't say when the committee will elect
new secretary" he said in answer to a
for haste, as at this time of year there is
really very little for the secretary to do.
1t will probably be some weeks yet before
the matter is taken up.
The name of Jerry A. Mathews, of this
city. secretary to Senator Fairbanks, was
mentioned yesterday in connection with the
secretaryship of the state committee and
the suggestion met with Endorsement in
many quarters. However, Mr.. Mathews
says he is not an aspirant for the place,
and has not the slightest intention of be-
coming a candidate. He is well contented
with his present work. I'm fact, he said,
Il have never been more pleasantly stu
ated in my life, and have no reason to seek
a change"
Mr.. Mathews is abundantly qualified for
the position as secretary OF the state COM
mites as he Is experienced in work Of that
nature and has a wide acquaintance among
Republicans in every section of the State.
There is one reason, however why the po-
sition would not appeal to him strongly
the salary attached is several hundred dol.
lars less than the one he is now receiving.
George d. Heilman, Of Evansville, who
was assistant secretary of the House dur
ing the recent session of the Legislature
was here yesterday to see the state printer
concerning the progress of the work on the
| House journal. He says it will probably be
several months before the journal is ready
| for distribution.

THE TOWN OF CHURUBUsCo.


A cross bill Of complaint was filed yester-
day in the Federal Court by the town of
Churublsco against Horace S. Oakley,
trustee. and j. Erb in the case Of the FL
deity Trust Company of Buffalo and
Amory houghton. jr.. against the Churu-
busco Water and Light Company, the town
of Churuhusco and others. The purpose of
the bill is to foreclose the deed of trust exc
cuted by the Churubusco Water and Light
Company. The deed, il is stated, embraces
among other securities certain franchises
executed by the town and certain contracts
for the using IF water and light. 1t further
states that the subsequent deed Of trust
was executed by the Churubusco company
to Horace s. Oakley. The bill of complaint
claims, therefore, that in so far as the
ordinance provides for the taking of water
and light a contract therefor is in excess
of constitutional powers.
