FRESHMEN OF WABASH
YET HOLD ZIMMERMAN
Willing to Surrender Sophomore
Leader Conditionally-Class
May Leave College.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Ind, Feb. IL
James Zimmerman. president Of the soph-
omore class Of Wabash College, is still miss
ing, having been abducted by the freshmen
last Sunday, and his whereabouts is as
much of a mystery as ever Tomorrow
morning the sophomores will meet to con-
slider a proposition from the victorious
freshmen.
The latter class, at a meeting this morn
ing, was addressed by Prof. j. A. Cragwell,
the class officer, who advised the surrender
of Zimmerman as a concession to the fac
ulty and to avoid unfavorable criticism OF
the college, not as a concession TO the sopn-
omore class. The freshmen then passed a
resolution which the faculty has been
asked to submit to the sophomores, and the
latter will meet tomorrow morning to con-
slider it. 1t provides that Zimmerman will
be given up by his captors If the sophomore
class will surrender Internationally and
withdraw from the Washington birthday
rivalry, condition to which they are very
unlikely to accede.
In case the sophomores refuse to come to
these terms the statement of President w.
P. Kane that he will deprive all freshmen
found to be implicated of their term credits
will likely be enforced. and the entire class
probably will walk out If this is done

RECEIVER FOR PEOPLES
NATURAL GAS COMPANY
Minority Stockholders Petition
Court to Make Appointment to
Protect Interests.
MANY CHARGES SET UP
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
RUSHVILLE. Ind, Feb. u.-Recent de-
velopments in the management of the Peo-
pies Natural Gas Company eliminated to-
day in the filing of complaint asking tor
a receiver of the company by C. f. FELTON,
and Anna NJ. Finney. representing the mi
nority stockholders, against w. E. Havens,
A. F. Riggs, r. A. Innis, 7. NJ. Green and
DR.. F. G. Hackleman
The complaint says the defendants, hold
ers of a majority of the stock, are con-
spring TO defraud the minority holders OF
their interests; that they have drawn
money from the treasury from time to time
not on vote of the directors, as required by
the bylaws; that they have raised the di-
rectors salaries from SIS to $500 per annum
in defiance of the bylaws and against the
protest of plaintiffs, and paid the salaries
of the directors for 1903. as illegally adj
vanced, before they were earned and due;
that after collecting two years advanced
salaries in one year they raised the dlrec-
tors salaries on Oct. % last to 500 per an
mum and voted themselves free gas, TO the
detriment of the other stockholders and the
consuming public; and that on Dec. q last
they further paid themselves half-yearly
salaries in advance at the rate of 500 per
annum.
1t is alleged that the sinking of new wells
is necessary to keep up the supply of gas
and TO maintain the company on a paying
basis, and that the directors and defend
ants refuse to sink the needed wells; and
that by reason of these various acts and
omissions the company, though earning
more than enough to pay expenses, has not
been maintained in good repair and will
soon become worthless; wherefore the ap-
pointment of a receiver is asked, and that
he, when appointed, be ordered to drill
necessary wells and otherwise increase the
effective capacity of the plant and to re-
cover from defendants the various sums IL
legally converted to their own use.

EVANSVILLE SITUATION
IS DECIDEDLY BETTER
Additional Power Is Supplying the
City with Water, and a More
Hopeful View Is Taken.
BUILDING MAY BE, SAVED
Special to the Indianapolis Journal

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
EVANSVILLE. Ind, Feb. 1.-THE situa-
ton at the local water works was much
improved to-day. The West End pumping
station was put in commission this morn
ing. and the three millions of gallons OF
water per diem that it can add to the same
amount now being furnished by the old
water works and the new plant greatly re-
lieves the situation.
Pressure was better to-day than il has
been for a week. With pump No. ''cut in
to intake pipe No by Sunday, the regular
supply of water can then be furnished. I'm
til the end of the week the city is in danger
of a short water supply, especially II an
accident occurs to either of the three sta
tons now furnishing water to the city
mains.
Unless the mound on which the water
works plant stands is undermined more than
is expected, the engineers believe there will
be no further damage to the building. The
cracks are now extending around the wall
on the east side and Captain Hollerbach,
who is in charge of the excavations over
the broken intake pipes, thinks portion of
the wall may have to be removed. There
will be no way to stop the caving until the
intake pipes are bulkheaded, and this can
not be done until temporary repairs are
made as the combined capacity of all three
stations is barely enough for domestic use.
