ing TO the State from this Office were al
most $4,000 more last year than the
receipts of the preceding year. The annual
report of Sid Conger, State oil inspector.

and has benefited the State during the
first year of it's enforcement by $31,9O4 more
than has ever been collected in one year.
The new laws require that one-half the
proceeds from inspection shall so to the
State. whereas under the old laws the in

barrels inspected was $50. SIS. an increase of
almost IL per cent. over last year.

BARRY is COMPELLED TO
SUBMIT TO REELECTION
No Friction Is Evident at Annual
Election of the Central Labor
Union.
YEAR PROSPEROUS ONE

Contrary to all expectations, the election
of officers of the Central Labor Union last
night was almost totally devoid of friction
Reports had been circulated last week to
the effect that a number of new candidates
would be sprung last night, but the ful-
fllment of the prophesies was lacking. and
all the old officers were reelected with two
exceptons-the secretary and the general
organizer, both positions being left vacant
until the next meeting. Despite Edward
Bary's protests against remaining in the
presidents chair for another six months, he
was made by q unanimous vote TO con-
tinue in office. The other officers were re-
elected as follows: Vice president George
Gunery, of the Iron Molders; financial sec
retary, d. l.. Stoddard, of Carpenters
Union 2S1; treasurer, Lillian Fredericks, of
the Garment Makers; sergeant-at-arms,
Frank Gerard; trustees, Frank Broden,
Henry Friedman and j. w. Madden; stat
istician, Thad Gurley. The election one
of the most quiet that has been held in the
Central Labor Union for many years.
AS is generally the case on election night,
there was very little business transacted
by the Central body. Letters were read by
the secretary from Senator Beveridge ana
Senator Fairbanks, saying that at the prop
the efforts of the Central Labor Union TO
get an anti-injuncti0n and eight-hour bill
through the United States Senate.
Minutes Were also read of a meeting OF
the executive board of the Central Labor
Union, stating that they had considered
carefully the proposition presented at the
last meeting of the central body to organize
more c0mpactly the laundry workers OF the
city. To that end, the communication stat
ed the board had decided to secure one OF
the laundry workers general organizers,
who will arrive In the city within a short
time and begin the work of organizing all
the laundry workers in the city.
An interesting communication to the body
last night was the report of the statistician.
Thad Gurley, which showed that the year
just ended had been one of the most sue
cessful the various local unions have ex-
perienced. The report showed that in no
case has there been a reduction of wages in
the unions, while in the majority of cases
the members have secured an increase vary
ing from a few cents to so cents more an
hour. The report is the fullest and most
complete that has been submitted to
the organization. 1t will be published In the
next issue of the Union.

safeguard against any Of the doctors send

case OF this kind occurred at the semi
annual examination. but fortunately the
ruse was discovered before the license was
granted.

BOY MURDERER GIVEN
PLAINF|ELD SENTENCE
Marshall Harrington Found Guilty
of ManSlaughter on Little
Playmate Nicholas.
MAKES PATHETIC CASE

One of the saddest cases that has ever
been tried in a Marion county court was
begun in the Criminal Court yesterday
morning. when little fourteen-year-old Mar
shall Harrington, charged with the murder
of his twelve-year-old companion, Albert
Nicholas, faced Judge Afford. The two boys
were shooting sparrows in the rear of the
Harrington home 226 East Morris street.
with Flobert rifle. on Dec. l, when in
some way the rifle. which was in Harring-
toms hands, was discharged, and the bullet
entered Nicholas's groin. The little fellow
died three days later. Harrington was de-
Tended by Judge McCray. and Prosecutor
Ruckelshaus represented the State. The
courtroom was crowded with the friends or
the two boys during the entire day. The
jury was empaneed yesterday, all the evil
dence given, the argument was heard and
the jury retired to its room at o'clock A
verdict of mansaughter was returned at
1880 o'clock last night, and Harrington will
be sentenced TO the Indiana Reform School
at Plainfield this morning.
The testimony introduced by the prosecu-
tion showed that Harrington had told young
Nicholas that he intended TO shoot him. 1t
was further shown that the defendant had
a bad disposition and had made a nuisnce
of himself in the neighborhood by shooting
his rife on the streets
Judge McCray introduced testimony to
prove that the shooting was entirely acci-
dental. The theory of the defense was that
Harrington slipped on the ice and fell. and
the fall caused the rifle TO be discharged,
and the bullet struck Nicholas. Character
witnesses were placed on the stand by the
defense I'm the afternoon. and they testified
that Harrington was a good boy and had
never been in any trouble before William
+. Piel. of the Piel starch works. where
ION fiaH hat H
boy had a good disposition and was very
faithful and conscientious in his work
Judge McCray, in his argument in the
boys behalf. made strong appeal for ac-
quittal. and IL was thought by many that
the verdict would be in favor Of the boy.
Prosecutor Ruckelshaus said last night that
he was completely worn out after his hard
fight for conviction.

OPINION IS CHANGED.
City VIII Not Attempt to Force
Interurbans to Garry Freight.

In a long letter TO the Board of Public
Works, received at it's yesterdays meet
ing, City Attorney Warrum gave his opin-
ion the question of whether interurban
roads in this city could be compelled TO
handle freight; also on the question as to
whether the same roads can be compelled
to build freight depots within stated
time.
The city attorney revised his opinion Of
some time before, in which he stated that
the roads could be compelled to handle
freight and to build freight depots at any
time, as there has been discovered a SEEM
ing discrepancy in the franchises on file in
the office of the Works Board and those
printed as copies of the same. Ii is now
stated that the board will not attempt to
enforce the carrying of freight and the
building of freight depots until specific
charges are filed against the roads. These,
ii is expected, Will be filed within a short
time by certain interested parties.

OF LIGHT
CONTRACT is A PROBLEM
City Engineer Jeup Calls Works
Boards Attention to Some
Things to Guard Against.
TO RECEIVE BIDS JAN. 27

Specifications for the city's lighting for
the next ten years. dating from April l, 1905,
which had been prepared by the city en-
gineer and attorney. were submitted to the
Board of Public Works at yesterdays
meeting of the board accompanied by a let
ter from Engineer Jeup In this letter the
engineer called the attention of the board
to some of the provisions of the existing
franchises of the Indianapolis Light and
Power Company and the Merchants Heat
and Light Company, and stated some of
the difficulties of the problem of preparing
the specifications which would place the ex-
listing companies having franchises for
lighting in this city and any new company
desiring TO bid on the contract on an equal
footing. Among other things the engineers
letter stated:
ANY burden placed on the bidders In the
way of provisions regulating incandescent
lighting. either by compelling the successful
bidder to extend lines so as TO serve all
people desiring the same. and regulating
prices for such lighting, which will tend TO
materially increase the bid for public light
ing. must be avoided.
''rhe duration of the franchises of the
existing companies and the different per-
centage of gross receipts which shall be
paid annually TO the city have made il diff
ficult to place all these companies an
equal roofing. In theSe SpeClflca-
tions we have attempted TO place all of the
companies on an equal footing for bidding
on the public Lighting contract, and have
added only such provisions In regard To in
candescent lighting as could reasonably be
required and which would not materially
increase the cost of public lighting"
The specifications for the lighting con-
tract were received by the board and taken
under advisement, with the board holding
itself open 10 suggestions on the subject
from any source. Bids are to be received
Jan. p. according 10 present plans, and the
contract will then be let before March l.
a petition Tor better service on the Stock
Yards car line was presented To the board.
signed by a large number OF patrons. IL is
probable that the board will make strong
representations TO the street car company
with regard 20 Improvement In this line and
will demand that these be made soon.
Bids by the Central Union and the New
Telephone Companies for certain telephone
services coming within the Jurisdiction OF
the Works Board We're rejected by the
board because too high.

The matter of the extension of the Col
lege-avenue street car line north of Twenty
eighth street, which came up before the
Board of Public Works some time ago. and
was referred by the board TO the city engi-
neer, will probably be reported upon by the
engineer at next Fridays meeting of the

recommend that the district asking for
