COUNCIL WILL KNOW HOW
PROCEEDS ARE EXPENDED
Sum of Money Realized from
$4,000 Bond Sale Not Con-
sidered Sufficient.
WAS ESTIMATE TOO LOW ?

In what manner and for what purpose
the funds realized by the sale of s125,Oo0
flood bonds authorized at the last Council
meeting shall be expended was considered
yesterday at meeting in the mayors office
attended by Mayor Hoffman. City Engi-
neer Jeup. Park Engineer Power and the
Council finance committee.
The discussion brought out the statement
from Engineer Jeup that his estimates of
the cost of necessary repairs to public
works on account of flood damages. made TO
the Council at the special meeting called
for the purpose, were in his judgment too
low. On these estimates based the
quest OF the city administration for an is
sue of 500 900 of bonds. but this request was
refused on the ground that the estimates
were hastily made and probably high. Mr..
Jeup now believes that the actual cost of
repairs will be higher than his first esti-
mate.
1t was decided at yesterdays meeting that
the engineer make up a list of the repairs to
be done Immediately with careful estimates
of the exact cost of each. Ii will then be
known whether another issue of bonds will
be necessary to cover the entire cost of
flood repairs.
II do not think this was absolutely neces-
sary,'' said Mayor Hoffman yesterday aft
ernoon. but l preferred that ii should be
done. The Council has a right TO know
Just how these funds TO be expended.
Every official at the meeting this afternoon
was in favor of the plan"

HEARST DOES NOT KNOW
WHAT MANAGERS WILL DO
Proposition of Starting Paper
Seems to Be in Hands of
Advisers.

Reports received in Washington that it
was the intention of William Randolph
Hearst to start a newspaper in Indian
apolis attracted some interest there. When
questioned on the subject Mr.. Hearst would
not give direct answer. To one inquirer
he stated that he was not in the habit of
discussing his plans and TO another he said
that he was not advised, on the subject.
IF my managers desire to start paper in
Indianapolis l presume they will do So"
said Mr.. Hearst, who did not indicate
whether he alluded to his business or poll
tical managers.

decided TO take the national convention to
St. Louis the Hearst boomers declared that

Hearst has not invaded the st. Louis field.

II. LAUTER EXPLAINS
THE FLOOD SITUATION
Claim Made that City and County
Authorities Did Not Do
Enough.

II. Lauter, a manufacturer Of furniture
and sufferer from the recent floods, said
yesterday:
IL read in the paper that 1 wanted the
fire department TO pump the water to the
sewer, back to White river and that the
fire chief claims that il will take him
thirty days to do this. In answer to this
| wish to say that the high flood ten days
ago OVERLOADED all the low land west
the river. Instead of the city and the
county stepping in TO release the factories
and dwelling houses from this calamity,
the city. we'll the county, did not do
a thing. They allowed the railroad COM
panes TO fix their banks without leaving
culvert for the water to flow back to the
river This made the situation such that
we have to wait until all the water seeps
through the ground and finds its way back
to the river.
81 thought this was a time when the city
and county engineers should have stepped
in and used their best means and knowl-
edge TO get the water off the quickest way,
that the factories could resume opera
ton, which otherwise will take ten TO four
teen days longer.

Issues His Call.
NUMBER OF DELEGATES

Harry B. Smith, chairman of the Repub-
lcan county committee, yesterday issued
call for the primaries to select delegates
to the state convention. 1t reads as fol-
lows:
Pursuant to the regular call heretofore
issued by the Republican state committee,

State of Indiana, will meet in their respec-
tive wards Friday, April %, 1904, for the
purpose of electing delegates TO the state
convention, TO be held in Tomlinson Hall,
city of Indianapolis. April 26 and o. 1904,
for the purpose OF adopting a platform for

Phi Kappa Psis, who are here in the bien-
NAL national convention, took a rest yes
terday morning. deferring the work APP
pointed for that time until the afternoon,
when reports of the committees appointed
at the first session were heard.
II was the unanimous opinion that from
the reports of the various committees the
fraternity has never been in better con-
dition. This is true both financially and
otherwise. The committee on the state of
the fraternity showed that without ex-
ception every chapter in the fraternity had
met every obligation to the national fra
ternity and that there was not an outstand-
ing debt in the active chapters.
The report of the auditing committee re-
vealed similar conditions. Credit for such
conditions was given to the present trea-
surer of the paternity. c. F. NJ Niles. of
Ohio. who is finishing his second term of
office in this capacity. Mr.. Niles will retire
from the treasurer's office this year because
of pressing business duties. but it is gen
orally conceded that if he should want re-
election it would result unanimously.
The new song book for the fraternity
which for the last four years has been be-
ing compiled is now ready for the publisher,
IL was announced yesterday, anu Will DC
ready for distribution in a very short time.
Steps were taken on the report of the
chapter house committee" yesterday, max
ing it compulsory wherever possible for all
active chapters to become either renters ov
owners of chapter homes. The tendency for
later years has been in favor of the chapter
house and the sentiment which was once
divided on this subject is now unanimous
in its favor. The report showed that in the
last two years the number of chapter houses
for the fraternity had increased more than
100 per cent.
Walter L. McCorkle, of New York, a
former president of the fraternity, arrived
given an ovation when called upon for a
speech. Mr. McCorkle is perhaps the most
Widely-knOwn member in the fraternity.
W. G. Wilson, the chairman of the new
constitution committee and the first presi-
dent of the fraternity after the adoption of
the new constitution in 1885, was present
yesterday and addressed the convention.
The most interesting part OF the conVen-
ton will occur to-day with the election of
the officers for the next two years. There
has been a noticeable absence of rivalry
among the candidates this year and it is
generally conceded that this annual cleo
tion will take place without contest While
no slate has been fixed, it is generally con-
coded that George Bran Baker, of Boston.
Will be elected to the presidency, and the
Rev. w. l.. Alexander, of Washington d.
c., will be reelected to the office of vice
president. Mr.. Baker is a graduate of
De PAW University and is we'll known in
Indiana.
