INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, April s.-The
unusual sight Of a well-known young
woman walking into a police station
with a prisoner whom she had
arrested in the street, and a few
moments later returning with his COM
panion, whom she had also arrested.
was witnessed yesterday when Susan
Noble took a prisoner TO the Office OF
Captain Hyland and demanded that he
be locked up on the charge OF vagrancy.
Miss Noble is a grandniece Of the
late Gov. Noah Noble and Senator Ben
Noble, and with other women engaged
In charitable work, has been taking spe-
cial interest in the poor. These women
have found the city overrun with beg
gars from other cities, and have de-
termined TO begin a war against them.
Miss Noble was accosted by a beg

Louis. Taking him by the arm she com
manded him 70 accompany her, but the
beggar became insolent.
IF you don't come" said Miss Noble
I'll call that policeman yonder," and
the beggar made no further effort TO re-
lease her grasp from his arm. She
took him TO the police station.
AS Miss Noble returned down the
street she saw another beggar stand
ing at a corner, and asked him why h
was begging. He told her the usua
hard luck" story and said he was from
ST. Louis. Under threats Of calling ar
officer Miss Noble forced him 70 ac-
company her 10 the station, and he also
was locked up as a vagrant-

Mr.. Cockran's speech consumed an
hour and ten minutes. From a purely
oratorical standpoint 1t was the most
noteworthy of the session.
Mr.. Dalzell Replies.
Representative Dalzelrs reply was to
the effect that Mr.. Cochran had made
general charges. but had given no par

had run amuck'' in his speeches In the
House. and had touched upon every sub

He said that 1t was nonsense to say
that the rights OF the House had been
violated lust because the Pension Blu
reau had framed a new order governing
pensions.
Mr.. DalzeH denied that the order
would entail an appropriation OF $50,

Mr.. Cochran disputed the denial. and
showed that Secretary Hitchcock had

Discussion is rife on the Chinese
treaty problem. which occupied all OF
the time of the Cabinet meeting yestef-
day The question at isste is, Does the
expiration of the present treaty, which
was negotiated in 1894, Leave the coun-
try without any provision fer the regu-
lstion of Chinese immigration?
The present treaty was so worded
that it could be rendered null at the
end of ten years by either nation Civ
ing notice that il was objectionable
China has given such notice. The laws
of 1882 and 1892, each of which was
for ten years. and the latter made TO
extend and supersede the former. were
each made dependent on the treaty in
vogue.
1t is true that the treaty of 1850 would
remain, on which is based the Geary ex-
cluSion law, but Democrats in the Sen

ate contend nat his treaty has been
repealed and rendered null by the sub
sequent treaties, and that any law de

This would leave US without any lcgisla-

1t IS understood, however, that this

General Knox, who has given the matte T

remain In force on .he expiration OF the
present treaty. A high Government Of
ficial this morning gave the assurance
that there need be no fear that there
would be unrestricted admission of the
Chinese, even granting that this country
should find itself without treaty rela-
lions on the point with China.
The interest being taken in the matter
is evidenced by the fact that the Cali

VILE will have a complete system of

at the special election held yesterday
afternoon. the people empowered the
town council to issue bonds to the
amount OF $50, 900 for that purpose. The
large negative vote was d surprise 10
the friends Of the measure. but IL ap-
pears that a systematic and active can

by the opposition, while the other side
had contented itself with a few com

would raise the rents, so that none Ct
them could AFFORD 70 live in Hyatt

Ii was the intention OF the council, in
selecting the Judges and clerks OF cleo
ton, to make an equal division OF senu-
Tnent but IL turned out that all or these
officers, with one possible exception
were IN the opposition. There were nine
ballots against sewers which were not
made out in accordance with the re-
ouirements OF the law. and which were
objected TO by Mayor Wells as Illegal
These were laid aside until the compile

way.
Immediately after the count was I'm
