Several Merchants Contem-
plating Making This Move,
Believing It More Effective
Than Old System.
FIRST MEETING HELD
At COMMERCIAL CLUB
Plan Is to Assign a Machine to
Every District and Have
Regular Hours to Make Dis
-tributions.

Merchants Of the city are consider
ing the advisability Of doing away
with their delivery service and allow
ing it to be handled by a merchants
delivery stock company. Yesterday af-
ternoon at q meeting. in the CONNER
cial club rooms, between several cit
izens and an automobile agent, the
proposition was considered and re-
garded as very feasible. 1t is proba-
BILE that an effort will be made soon
to organize stock company.
Several of the Main street mer-
chants who have been investigating
the proposition for some time find
that it has been very successfully car
ried on in other Indiana cities. In the
east and the northwest the merchants
also find a central delivery system to
be a saving to. themselves and the
most practical way Of doing the busi-
ness.
The agent who met with the mer-
chants yesterday stated to them that
his company had organized several
such systems and that they have
proved to be successful. He broached
two plans. one for the merchants to
organize q company and promote 1t
themselves; the other was to have a
company organized by outside par
ties
In other places where such delivery
systems are in vogue i've trips are
made on five week days and seven
trips on Saturdays, at the following
hours. 1880, 800 and again ut IL
O'Clock, and the fourth and fifth trips
at 200 and $3.50 in the afternoon. res
pectiyely. On Saturday evening the
first trip is made at 8 o'clock and an
other two hours later. Where the
system has been tried the patrons OF
the merchants seem to be better sat
isfied with the service accorded than
under the old system which Is more
irregular.
1t is believed by the merchants that
six or eight automobile delivery wag-
ons could handle all the business
very easily. The machines. with .
few incidentals, would be the only In
vestment and the other expenses
would be OF small amount Each au-
! tomobile would be assigned to Ger.
! tain district and the delivery would
|. be systematized much on the same or
der as the mail delivery il. The ex-
pense for deiiverymen would not be
more than that expended at present,
and, possibly. less. because It would
require . less number to do the work
In fact in some places It has been
found that . saving was made by each
!merchaat in labor accounts. and also

Quite Probable That Stau-
bach Will Succeed Bailey as
Chief and That McManus
Will Be Let Out.
NONE OF PATROLMEN
KNOW MAYORS ACTION
Officers Don't Know Whether
They Will Be Expected to
Put in Applications to Re-
tain Their Jobs.

Will George Staubach be appointed
superintendent of the police depart
ment to succeed Jesse 4. Bailey and
will Daniel McManus, first sergeant,
lose his job, after Mayor Schillinger
assumes the direction of police af-
fairs in this city?
There is reason to believe both
clauses of the question will be ans
wered in the affirmative. Just now the
prospect of what will happen is the
chief topic of discussion in police cir
cles. Hard at work." was asked one
of the patrolmen on night duty. mot
very, what's the use until you know
what's going to happen down at head
quarters?" was the response.
In semi-coma State.
As a matter of fact the police de-
partment is in a state of semi-coma
at present. None of the members
the mayor names a new board. All
expect a shift in the superintendent.
This will carry with it a change in
sergeant. Supt. Bailey is conducting
the department at present as assidu-
.Ously as the first day, when he took
the office. He expects to keep on un.
til the end, although he realizes the
end most likely is quite near.
Members of the force are left en-
tire1y In the dark and some do not
know whether they will be expected
to put in applications to retain their
positions or not. IF We don't resign

E Staubach 4 Favorite.
Staubach is known to stand in line
member of the police force for several
years before. he resigned to accept q
Schillinger nomination as a member
OF the board of public works. At one
time he was doomed for the super
intondency and his most ardent
friends circulated petition asking
that he be named. But the republican
board chose republican. It is ex
pected that Harry Watt. the demo
cratic member Of the present bOar6
will be retained by Mayor Schillfnger
It is also believed that either Edgar
Hiatt or Eddy Shera. the republican
members, will be retained. Pettis

Urging the supremacy Of mind over mat

Recognized as the leader in this city Of
the movement started by Rev. Elwood
Worcester. of the Emmanuel Church Of
Boston. DR.. Winbigler drew a large con-
gregation.
Man has gained physical perfection, q"
he said but 20 attain perfect mastery
over himself he must assert the great
power of the mind. Mans lack Of control
over himself makes him pay a frightful
price in retarded spiritual growth.
Man now stands on the threshold Of q
great spiritual awakening" he said. Il

principles Of the movement are not new

Talk on Various Phases of HUI

"The call of the Wild" was the subjec.
Of an address given By Rev. DR.. Wilbur F.
Sheridan at the mems meeting held un-
der the auspices OF the Young Mems s
Christian Association yesterday afternoon
More than 800 men were present in the
New Masonic Auditorium 10 hear the
Baltimore clergyman and 20 assist at q

Knowles Cooper. secretary OF the asso-
citation.
Adapting the title OF Jack London
story. DR.. Sheridan explained what the
call Of the wild meant I'm relation %
mankind He touched lightly upon the
inherent qualities in man that cause him
TO seek pleasure in nature and TO appease
those instincts that beckon him TO the
forest and country IN summer.
The other call OF the wild deals with a
phase Of humanity that has been con-
tended against by Christians since the
world began. II is the inclination in man
that leads him to seek pleasure in evil and
TO revel in the sinful exeesses Of the
world said Dr.. Sheridan. beginning his
address
1t is this latter call that TOlstOi de-
nounced and which caused him to con
denim the SUperfciality and the hypocrisy
Of certain classes. Christ understood the
ways of humanity. and He accomplished
His divine mission 20 warn His followers
10 combat the wandering desire which
leads from grace.
What causes man 10 incline to evil IS
a question that may never be answered.

ton 20 fight against the occasions of sin
and TO direct your fellow-man in the op-
