CITY IS MADE DEFENDANT
IN LATEST GAS TRUST SUIT
Federal Court Asked to Declare
indianapolis Liable in Amend
ed Bill of Complaint.
BASED ON ORDINANCE

BY an amended bill of complaint filed in
Federal Court yesterday In the suit of
Byron c. Quimby against the Consumers
Gas Trust Company the city of Indianap-
oils has been made a defendant In the
case.
The bill yesterday embodied nine amend
ments, the principal one being the intro
duction of the city into the suit. The object
Is TO make the city answer TO the claims
and assertions that the Consumers Gas
Trust Company is under obligation to con-
tinue In the business OF supplying natural
gas TO the citizens of Indianapolis The
complaint holds that the only obligation
imposed on the company by its acceptance
OF the ordinance of 1885,, which permitted
the use OF streets and public places for
pipe lines, is TO continue supplying gas as
long as IL makes use of streets and public
places, but that IL can discontinue its sup
ply at any time on condition that IL sur
renders and abandons the use of the streets
etc On this ground the bill alleged that
the company is under no obligation either
10 the city or it's inha bitants to continue the
supply of gas.
Another amendment of the bill embodied
the request that the defendants, other than
Hugh III. Hanna, Henry Coburn, John c.
Williams, John II. Holiday and Henry
Schnull, be enjoined and restrained during
the tendency of the suit from further con-
unuing operations of the company.

STATE TO INVESTIGATE

Members of the Indianapolis Retail
Grocers' Association are interested in con-
ditions among the foreign fruit, candy and
sausage vendors in this city 1t is prob
able that proceedings will be begun against
them under the State labor laws.
Labor Commissioner Mccormick. being at
the camps of the Shut Improvement Com
pany. cannot be seen by the men at the
head of the movement. They are active in
their investigation of the proposed reforms,
however.
1t is said by members Of the association
that the Greeks and Italians in the city,
whose street stands are seen at almost
every corner, are organized for purposes
both offensive and defensive. While the
tendency of this organization has not been
detrimental to local business interests. re-
cent fights on street corners cited in
support of the claim that the alleged organ
izatiOn exists as u menace TO order In the
city.
The immediate cause of reform plans is
the treatment of children, who are forced.
from dawn to nightfall. to do laborious
work of hOuse-tO-hOuse peddling. 1t is
said that frequently lads from ten 10
eighteen years of age are forced to work
until they quit from sheer exhaustion
A case brought TO the attention Oh the
association is that of Franco Crusa, an
Italian lad who lives with his parents on
Virginia avenue, near the viaduct-

groceries and fish markets were alike
solicited to buy his fruit. Crusa carried a
basket on his back weighing seventy-eight
pounds He told a Journal reporter that
he had not been home since early in the
morning. His only food had been two
oranges taken from the basket. For this
his father will exact portion of the lad
earnings.
The office of the State labor commissioner
has been visited in the interest Of such
violations. This matter will be considered
as soon as Labor Commissioner McMormlck
returns, probably to-day.

was not success. as several of the teach
