PARENT OF GYPSY CHILD
ALLOWS DEATH BY INCHES
After Being Burned in Frightful
Manner, Doctors Aid Is
Refused.
OFFICIALS INVESTIGATE

Her body almost covered with burns in
ficted some time ago, Eleanor Itell was
found yesterday afternoon by DR.. Jones, of
the City Dispensary. at the home OF an
aunt, 972 West Washington street.
The condition of the child, the doctor said.
could hardly be described. One eye was
completely burned away The sight of the
other eye was impaired and the suffering
little girl will probably be blinded for life.
The mother refused to permit a physician
TO treat her child. Although warned that
the little one was in a dying condition and
that nothing but the most heroic treatment
could save her life, the mother would not
allow the doctor 10 dress the burns, saying
she was treating them and that the girl
was getting peter. The woman had been
using a paste composed mostly of flour and
water, to dress the burns.
The matter will be reported to the Board
OF Children's Guardians this morning and
an effort will probably be made to take
the child from the inhuman mother.
Some time ago, while west of the city,
the horses drawing the wagon became
frightened and ran away. The Wagon was
overturned and the child was thrown
against a red-hOt stove which stood in the
wagon.
The child was born in the wagon while
the family were making the trip from Day
ton to Cincinnati, o., nearly three years
ago.

COUNCIL CALLED
FOR A SPECIAL SESSION
Appropriation for Bridges Will
Be Considered on
Feb. Is.
COUNTY CLERKS CLAIMS

Notices will be sent to members of the
County Council to-day announcing a special
meeting of the Council 10 be held Feb. %
to consider the question Of building new
bridges across White river at Morris street,
River avenue, Michigan street and Emrichs-
Vile On the action taken by the Council
at that time will depend the number and
character OF the new bridges. whether all
four asked for will be given, and whether
they will be of stone. concrete or steel.
County Surveyor Harry Klausman has
completed and submitted to the Board of
County Commissioners surveys for the four
bridges. and will prepare estimates OF the
cost OF the three kinds OF bridges for all
four places. Knowing the cost
for each kind at each point. 1t will then be
up to the County Council TO decide what
shall be done In each case.
II is understood that the commissioners
are i'm favor of stone bridges I'm every case
where the character OF the ground and the
width OF the river will permit IL. That can
only be determined after the report of TIE
county surveyor. In the event tina the
Council decides that stone bridges cannot
be built at all four of the places, il is
thought that the commissioners will insist
on a stone bridge. of and art
istic design. at Emrichsville. and steel and
stone bridges at the other three places,
similar TO the bridge now building at West
Washington street. The stone bridge AT
Emrichsville is urged and insisted upon by
the mayor and the city officials because the
bridge leads into Riverside Park, and be-
cause the banks OF the river are high
enough TO give ample room for a good
stone arch at that point.
Besides considering the question of a bond
issue TO cover the cost OF the new bridges
the County Council will take up the claims
OF county clerks and sheriffs for sums OF
money a~ggregating $4,000 said TO be due
them for court attendance by a recent de-
cision OF the Supreme Court.

SCHOOL FOR TEACHERS

1t was unanimously decided last night at
the meeting Of Marion county Sunday
school supertntendents that printers ink
could be used TO advantage in the work Of
the Sunday schools.
A long discussed question as to the length
OF time that should be devoted TO the study

time could be given TO this study.
At the next meeting Of the County Sun
day-school Teachers Association, Feb. &c,
the proposition to establish a Sunday-school
Teachers Bible School in this city will be
further discussed.
1t is the intention of those backing the
movement to have a regularly established
training school for teachers, and to engage
a faculty to teach all branches of Sunday
school work.
Judge Thompson. VINO is interested in the
movement, said last night that there were
such schools in Cincinnati, Chicago and
other large cities, and that there is no
reason why Indianapolis should not have
one.

MORE MONEY IS NEEDED
FOR INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
Nine Bids Are Rejected Pending
New Appropriation by the
Legislature.
DEFECTS IN MEASURE

All plans for a State Girls Industrial
School have been temporarily abandoned.
The board of trustees. after wrestling with
financial problems which have arisen over
the award of bids. finally decided yester-
day to refer the whole matter back to the
Legislature, requesting at least 500. 600 ad-
ditional.
This sum is needed to build an institution
which will fulfill the purposes defined by
the Legislatures act.
Since the passage of the appropriation
measure the number of probable inmates
for the school has increased 40 per cent,
and the trustees can do nothing with Arch
itect Martindale's plans until a larger ap-
Precipitation is available.
No provision was made for the temporary
maintenance of the school, from Oct. 81
until the succeeding January, and the Leg
islature will be asked 10 remedy this defect
also.

TO BUILD CONCRETE
BRIDGE ACROSS CREEK
City Officials Favor that Construc-
ton for New Structure.

A concrete bridge will probably b. built
over Fall creek at Northwestern avenue,
according to City Engineer Jeup. The sale
of 5000 in bonds to furnish funds for
building the bridge leaves no obstacle in the
way of proceeding with the work. The new
bridge will resemble the bridges across Fall
creek at Meridian and Illinois streets. Its
estimated cost is about s45, 200. In the opin-
ion of Controller Dunn the interurban rail-
way companies using the bridge should be
made TO bear part of the expense OF build
ing il.
