company on the other hand.
The patrons Of the Central-avenue line

schedule far below the needs Of the terri
tory were alleged by the petitioners who

toners aroused feeling, but did not end
TO clear the air
= The Board of Works took the matter

Pedestrians Slip and Fall When
They Attempt to Gain
Foothold.

Weather conditions. in league with care
less or negligent property owners who had
failed TO clean their sidewalks of snow,
made yesterday. particularly morning and
evening, day TO be remembered by many
residents Of Indianapolis, whose pride and
bodies were lowered al the same time.
BY the freeze of Sunday night the slush
and snow that covered the streets and side
walks was frozen into a solid mass of ice
making walking difficult. This condition
was changed for the better in the middle
OF the day, when the ice gave way TO the
rising temperature. but even then the ice
stayed in the shaded spots where the sun
was not warm enough TO melt it. Last
evening the slush had again frozen, and
navigation afOOt again a precarious
thing.
The weather indications are for slightly
warmer weather. but not enough warmer
to take away all the snow and ice inme-
diately. The alienation of slush and ice
will I'm all PROBABILITY continue for several
days.

To establish the standing Of the trained
nurses Of Indiana-to secure recognition as
co-workers with members of the medical
profession-was the purpose of a meeting
attended by over sixty nurses yesterday at
the Grand Hotel. Delegates were present
from Fort Wayne. Peru, Wabash and many
other Indiana cities
At the afternoon session articles of in
corporation were signed. and the Indiana
State Nurses Association will be author
lied by the secretary of state to-day.
At noon dinner was served to the dele
gates at the Grand Hotel. The move
ment to organize the nurses of Indiana
started late last year. when sessions, pre-
sided over by Mrs Z. G.. Fournier, were
held at Fort Wayne. The local nurses
affiliated themselves with the movement,
and now form q majority of the members
of the new association.
Due to the nonarrivaI Of delegates. the
morning session was brief. Committees
were appointed at this session.
DR.. Rilus Eastman delivered an address
to the delegates in the afternoon. He said
that the standard of nursing methods was
higher in America than in Europe, and
said he regarded the nurses profession IL
this State as worthy of legal recognition.
After a song by Miss COrinne Robinson,
Mrs Z. c. FOurnier, of Fort Wayne, chair
man of the meeting, addressed the nurses
on organization.
THE time has come when our profession
Will be recognized by law said Mrs. Four
nier, land we should regulate these COM
ing laws, rather than the physicians" She
traced the movement of trained nurses
since the days Of Florence Nightingale, and
said that the day of Sarah Camp had
passed a long time ago. She declared
that the relations of nurse and physician
TO patient were relatively those of father
and mother. Her remarks were spirited
and were interspersed with applause.
After this opening of the business session,
Mrs. S. +. Belk-Brown was elected chair
man of the legislative committee, and by
a unanimous vote the articles of incor-
fed The proposal TO send a delegate &c
the next convention of the National Coun-
ell of Women was discussed, and also the
matter of representation at the next meet
ing of the National State Nurses Associa-
ton. At its meeting in Philadelphia, APP
plication will be presented by delegate
for the recognition of the new Indiana as
ISOLATION.
Although some members of the associa-
ton, IL is said, are ineligible to registration
under the proposed standards, the associa-
ton will at once begin work to secure leg
islation. BY this means registration will
be made compulsory. Applicants must have
four years of training, two years in
any accredited nurses school.
Similar laws now govern In New York
North Carolina, New Jersey, Virginia and
Illinois.

did not receive it until prosecution had
been begun.
