TROUBLES PILING UP

Tn like Famine, in Les M~iserables,' +"
said City Controller Dunn yesterday after
noon; "Ive had everything happen TO me
that can happen, L guess"
The last one OF the many troubles that
have followed after Mr.. Dunn ever since
he took up the duties of city controller, on
the 18th Of October, was directed at his
head yesterday, when Judge feathers is
sued an alternative writ of mandate COM
handing the controller to issue a warrant

amounted to $445. which was approved by
the last Board of Health on Oct. IL, just a
few days before il went out Of existence
at the change of the city administration
This bill Controller Dunn has refused to al
low, and DR.. Carter has had recourse to
the courts TO compel the payment Of this
sum If possible.

again have disastrous effects on the BUSH
ness of indianapolis and Indiana.
In local real estate there has been great
a~ctivity-an increase in transfers of Sl,OOo,-
900 over last year. The volume of whole
sale trade was $4,000 larger for 1903 than
for 1902. The trade in local securities
amounted to S33,OO0,OOO. Inquiry for invest

to easier money and a greater volume OF

general calamity can give this city a bad

After a horrible catt strophe like that at
Chicago it is always easy to point out how
it might have been averted or mitigated,
but the advice comes too late. In this case
IL IS evident the destruction OF life was
due TO a combination Of causes. including
the failure OF the asbestos drop curtain
70 work. the senseless cry of FIRE" the
absence of fire escapes and the wild panic
OF the people. IL is remarkable that the
IRE should have occurred less than a month
after the opening Of the theater and that
the fire safety curtain should have failed
10 work the first time It was used. Such
an appliance ought 70 be a perfect piece Of
mechanism and beyond the possibility OF
failure to work from any cause whatever.
Tho management Is TO blame for opening
