GOAL AT HAND, WOMAN
LOSES RACE WITH DEATH
Sight of Her Home Denied Dying
Traveller, Conquered After
Brave Struggle.
HUSBAND SEES THE END
Wife Dies in Arms of Companion,
Who Is with Her in
Fated Train.

Travelling from windfall. Kan. in an
effort to reach her home in Columbus, Ind,
before her death, Mrs. Mary Bierhoffer died
on a Monon train yesterday afternoon just
as the train was entering this city. Her
husband was with her when she died.
Stricken with tuberculosis some time ago,
Mrs. Bierhoffer went West in an effort to
regain her health. The trip was frutless.
She failed rapidly. and. realizing that death
near, longed TO once more see her
home.
A telegram from Kansas brought the hus-
band TO his dying wife's side. At the
sight of her helpmeet the stricken woman
rallied, and it was believed she would
be able TO stand the long triS and have her
last wish gratfed.
Bravely she stood the strain of travel
until near Chicago, when she began to
show signs of decline. Her spirit was un-
conquered and the race with death was
continued. AS the swiftly moving passen-
ger train was entering the city the woman.
who had been dying for some time, with
gasp sank into her husbands arms.
Death had won the race.
Deputy Coroner Gels was called and the
body was taken to Renihan & Blackwell s
undertaking establishment. 1t will be sent
TO Columbus to-day

1O-YEAR LIGHT CONTRACT
SOON READY FOR BIDDERS
City Officials Complete Specifica-
tons and Await Proposals from
Local Concerns.
DOWN DETROIT PLAN
Reversal Scheme to Insure Munic-
ipal Plant Is Blocked by Legal
Obstacles.

Specifications for lighting the city for
ten years, dating from April l, 1904, were
adopted by the Board of Public Works at
special meeting yesterday afternoon. Bids
on the contract will be received by the
Board Feb "a
But few notifications of the specifca-
tions as originally drawn by City Engi-
neer Jeup and City Attorney Warrum,
were made by the board, although the mat
ter had been thoroughly discussed by the
members and representatives of the COM
panies which propose TO bid on the con-
tract, and by the Commercial Club at sew
eral meetings.
A number of minor changes made at the
suggestion of the Commercial Club, chief
ly relating to commercial lighting, were
made.
The board decided that the suggestion
made by the club that a provision be in
corporated for readjusting the maximum
rate for commercial lighting of ten cents
klowatt, at the end of every ten years,
could not be followed because of legal OBJ
stacles The Indianapolis Heat Light and
Power Co. objected to the clause requir-
ing the payment to the city of per cent
of the gross receipts of the company hold
ing the franchise, but this was retained
in the specifications
The specifications were not changed so
as to allow a bid by a Detroit firm. This
concern wished to put plant in that would
be absorbed by the city at the end of ten
years.
Mayor Hoffman said yesterday that he
thought the strongest feature OF the new
specification is the clause providing for an
all-night schedule TO take the place of the
moonlight schedule now In force. The
franchise for commercial lighting will go
along with the public lighting contract for
twenty-five years.

POLICY GAME RUNNING
At PRESENT IN THE CITY
Reporter for the Journal Secures
One of the Tickets from
Runner.
EFFORTS AT SECRECY

After several months, during which there
has been nothing doing" policy is again
running full blast in Indianapolis. The
game has been going about two weeks. but
it opened up right yesterday. Tickets
are OH sale in several of the downtown
saloons and in many of the barber shops,
but unless one happens to be ''in'' it is
rather difficult to get hold of one.
New players, old ones, whose
faces are not familiar TO the proprietors of
the places where tickets are sold are re-
buffed. The operators of the game have
made every effort to keep the news that
policy is being played from the police and
new faces are viewed with suspicion.
At the present time but one runner is en-
ployed, but 1t was given out yesterday even
ing that before the week is over at least
one and probably two more will be needed.
The runner working is known as
Fatty and he looks the part. He said
business was good while making his rounds
yesterday afternoon, but he was wise
enough not to tell the places where he
leaves the tickets.
Drawings are held every day in a room
on Indiana avenue and the list of winning
numbers is announced by the runner when
he makes his rounds the following day.
That is, the drawing yesterday was held in
the afternoon and the winners will be an
nounced this morning. In policy the play
er does not stand to win time out of a
game is all in favor of the man who is run
ming it. He personally conducts the draw
ings and makes out the list of winners, but
occasionally, just TO encourage the back
ward ones who are beginning to become
anxious to get a run for their money" he
lets some one, usually some one who is in
terested with him, win a neat sum- The
tip is given out that quite a sum of money
has been won by a certain party" and
the backward ones are encouraged TO play
again.
Just who is behind the game this time is
uncertain. The wise ones are all at sea- or
profess to be. Bill Kissel formerly known
as the policy king, is not believed to be in
terested in the game.
well known gambler, who is at present
located on Indiana avenue, is believed to
be the man behind the game. 1t is known
| that he has been interested in almost every
| thing in the policy line in the city for some
| years and tickets are sold in his place of
business.
There are several factions among the
| gamblers in this city and the members OF
| one faction are quite ready to knock the
| members of the other one, but the person.
| or persons, behind the game this time are
| not advertising the fact that they are run
| ming it
policy slip, secured by a Journal re-
| porter yesterday, contained the following
4 numbers.
