IMPROVE CAR TRACKS

Work placing the new steel girder at
the south end of the Virginia-avenue via
duct is we'll under way and will probably be
completed within a week. The girder ex-
tends from the center TO the west side, and
it's placing was stated by one of the men
in charge of the work to have been arranged
in the nick of time. as there was serious
danger that the old girder might have given
way and precipitated a street car to the
railroad tracks below. 1t is believed that
the new girder will render the bridge per-
fectly safe until such time, later on, as the
engineers department arrange for a
thorough overhauling of the viaduct and re-
pairs of a more decided and permanent char
acter. The New Castle Bridge Company
has charge of the work.
Taking advantage of the stoppage Of street
car traffic on the west track of the viaduct.
the street car company is replacing the old
rails on that side with new ones, heavier in
construction. and similar to the new rails
About sixtv-five OF seventy men are at work
on the job. New rails will not be laid on the
east track until later In the season, when
the weather Is more propitious for out-of-
door work.
All cars across the viaduct now run on
the east track so that traffic on all Virginia
avenue lines Is delayed somewhat A flag
whether TO go on or wait, so that passage
is arranged. although much delay is occa-
stoned by the waits at either end OF the

SUPT. F. Il. COTTON
TALKS TO STUDENTS

The hundreds of students Of the Indian
apohs Business University listened to an
address yesterday afternoon by State Super-
intendent OF Public instruction F. A. Cot
ton. Mr.. Cotton's address was both COM
mandatory Of technical business education
and advisory to the kind of business
preparation which the commercial world
demands. He paid glowing tribute to the
work Of the old schools of INDIANAPOLIS
showing how the graduates of those schools
In the earlier days were now sending their
sons and daughters to 1t for technical edu-
cation; spoke OF the uphill fight that the
technical instructors had in establishing
themselves; spoke OF the incalculable good
that these schools were doing
He advised his listeners to be sure that
they were competent TO be sure that they
had taken all and understood all that the
school could teach them before entering into
their serious work in life He told them
that their entire after life depended upon the
foundation that they laid I'm the school in
which they were now attending He said that
so important had become this phase of educa-
ton that the National Teachers Associatf ton
at its convention had recommended four
years course In which bookkeeping. stem
ography, typewriting. commercial law and
other business details were to be n part Of
the elective subjects, same as foreign Ian
the same credits toward a degree that other
electives are. The National Association is
now working with several colleges to this
end.

CITIZENS OF ELKHART
GIVE THEIR TESTIMONY
Federal Grand Jury Listens to Wit
nesses Who Were Large De-
positors. in Defunct Bank.
WALTER BROWN IN CITY

The Elkhart defunct bank case occupied
all the time of the federal grand jury yes
terday and from the progress that has been
made it is believed the evidence will be
finished by tomorrow 1t will take
longer time, however, to look over the
books and prepare an indictment, should
one be returned.
James L. Mcintosh, national bank exam
liner, was called to the stand again yester-
day morning.
1t is said that charges are made against
the defunct bank for violating the banking
law in receiving deposits when 1T was
known that the institution was insolvent.
1t is also believed that the grand jury will
investigate the charges Of the officials
making false entries in the bank books to
cover discrepancies. 1t is understood that
depositors of the bank are called to COM
pare their books with the records of the
bank
Several officers and employees of facto-
ries and other institutions at Elkhart, who
were large depositors OF the bank, took up
most of the time yesterday. large num-
Der of Elkhart citizens interested in the
bank failure are here as witnesses. Walter
Brown is in the city, but has not yet ap-
peared at the federal building.

city. was organized at a meeting OF the
architects and engineers held in the as

night. Walter Brown was elected president

fourth Saturdays of each month. A suit

time and the next meeting of the society

MAY FIGHT WEEO-CUTTING
BILLS OF CITY IN COURT
Citizens to Resort to Legal Action
to Resist Payment of Assess
ments Called Unfair.
SAY WEEDS NEVER CUT

Legal action to prevent the city's colec-
ton of fees for the cutting of weeds that
were never cut may be taken by various
property owners who have registered their
complaints at the office of the City Board
OF Health. These property owners claim
that they have been notified of the assess
ment against their property of fees for weed
cutting under the direction OF the Health
Board last summer, and that such work on
their property was never done; that they, in
fact, cut the weeds themselves or hired it
done for them.
Among those who have already complained
to the Health Board in the matter are ]. S.
Cruise, Thomas +. Stanton and E. Zoller.
Mr.. Stanton has filed affidavit with the
clerk of the board to the effect that no
weeds were cut on his property that were
not cut by himself, and that an employee of
the city had nothing whatever to do with
the matter. He stated yesterday that one
lot against which assessment has been
levied was used all summer for a lawn ten
mis- ground and was barren of weeds Mr.
Zoller stated yesterday afternoon that he
would file with the clerk of the board the
affidavits of two men who cut weeds on his
property under his direction. and also the
aff1davft of woman who saw the work
done. Mr.. Cruise states that he found as
o for the n cutting of p weeds against
as coal yard by Charles Stuckmeyer for
several years.
If enough of the property owners affected
can be persuaded to stand together in the
matter, II Is probable that the levying of the
assessments by the city will be resisted.
Mr.. Zoller stated yesterday that he
thought the most practicable way in which
to bring the matter TO n focus is to wait I'M
til an attempt is made to foreclose a lien
held against some piece of property owned
by one of the camplainants in the matter
and TO then fight the foreclosure in the
courts. This course may be followed.
The law on the proposition of weed cut
ting requires every property owner in the
city to see that the weeds on his property
are cut at stated intervals during the sum-
mer. On failure of such property holder to
cut the weeds, after notification by the
Board Of Health. that board may hire some
person to cut the weeds and may assess a
fee of 81 against each lot on which the weeds
were so cut This will stand on the city S
books a lien against the property unless
paid just as delinquent taxes do.
IF you will examine the boards books, -
stated Mr.. Zoler yesterday, ''you will find a
sure evidence of something wrong in the
fact that records OF weeds cut We're made in
August. September and October. That s
pretty late. / had the weeds on my property
cut in July, and am charged on the books
OF the board for weeds on the same property
cut in August. They must have grown

NO LAW FOR ACTION.
Attorney General Finds No Au
thority to Sustain O'Rourke.

Attorney General Miller said yesterday
that he could not find any legal authority
sustaining the action of Judge O'Rourke,
of the Allen Circuit Court. who revised the
judgment against Charles b. Terry. who
is now prisoner I'm the Reformatory at
Jacksonville. Terry was sentenced in 1901
to serve from one to fourteen years. He
stole several hogs from Charles McCul-
Tough and was charged with grand larceny.
Mccullough appeared before Judge
O'Rourke Saturday and made affidavit that
the hogs were only worth 800 making Ter
rvs offense petit larceny. which carries
with IL a sentence of from one TO three
years. Ii Is probable the Governor will be
asked TO pardon the man who has already
served three years.
