''CLUSTER' LIGHTS
GIVEN BLACK EYE
Supt. Johnson of the Light
Plant Says Project Is
Too Expensive.

Cluster lights for Main street were
given a black eye by the board of
works this morning. when a report of
Nimrod johnson. superintendent of the
municipal light plant, showed that this
system of lighting. as proposed. would
cost the city s1.40O more each year
than the arc lights. now in use.
In his report, Johnson said. that
there are at present arc lights be-
tween Fourth and Eleventh street. for
which current costs the city $40 a
piece or s405 for the entire number.
The board of works proposed to IN
stall los cluster light posts. Tunsen
lights are used on cluster poles. prob
ably 100 w, light and three 40 k. W.
lamps, being on each pole.
The average cost for the current
in each light would be Sc, according
to Mr.. Johnson's estimate, of $1.620.60
per year for current in the cluster
lights. Fully 5000 would be spent each
year on renewing bulbs, which burn
out easily, Mr.. Johnson states. max
ing the total cost of the lights each
year $1.S20.6O.
Committee Surprised.
A committee of merchants interest
ed in the cluster lights project, includ
ing Albert Morel. G. G. Allen, William
Fl. Bailey. and Fred Krone. which was
before the board this morning. was
greatly surprised by Mr.. Johnson's re
port. 1t was suggested that the cit,
install the lights and the merchants
pay for the current, and this will prob
ably be considered by the board. al
though the expense Of installing the
lights will be heavy.
Johnson said that installation cos
will be about 800 post, making the
total cost over $4,000. Another plaI
suggested was that the merchants In
stall the lights and then pay for thu
amount of current used, in excess o
that now consumed by the arc lights
This is estimated, would cost the mer
chants about so cents per foot year
not including the cost of installation
which will average $50 for each mer
| chant.
According to Mayor Zimmerman
merchants on the west section of Mali
street will not pay for installation O
lights, because they claim it not wortl
the money. The matter will be cor
sidered at council meeting tonight.

to throw our minds back nearly sixty
centuries. ,Then Egyptians were in
the habit of burying their dead In
shallow holes scraped in the soil i'm

narrow strip Of cultivated land. As
the result Of placing the body In hot
dry sand it frequently happened that,
instead of undergoing process Of
decay, 1t became desiccated and pre-
served in an incorruptible form for
an indefinite time. The burial OF valu-
able and useful objects with the dead
naturally led to grave robbing, which
was already common in the earliest
known prehistoric times in Egypt.
This plundering Of graves must have
taught the people at large that the
forces Of nature were often sufficient
to preserve dead body. In this way
it became a part Of the religion OF the
Egyptians to regard the preservation
Of the body as the condition OF the
attainment Of immortality.
The early Egyptians learned that the
body when placed in coffin or buried
in a Epck tomb usually underwent de-
composition. 1t was widespread be-

trial of Rudolph Tegeler. accused OF
the murder of James r. Meadows, was

long legal battle to save the accused

on the night of June 4, 1907. 1t was
alleged that Tegeler slipped to the
door Of the Meadows cabin, fired the
fatal shot, took the body from the

RAID RESULTS IN
SEVERAL CHARGES
Arrest of Several Negroes at
House Gives a Varied
Assortment.

In a raid on an alleged negro house
of i'll fame, at 61s South Tenth street
Saturday night by Patrolmen Gully
and Remmert, five negroes We're ar
rested. Those against whom charges
have been filed are Ferrist Hayden,
grand larceny in the circuit court,
also prostitution, in police court;
Charles Long, association; Fred and
Clara Jones. keeping house of i'll
fame. and Howard "Kentuck" Harris.
assault and battery. The negroes
were arraigned in police court this
morning and bonds fixed at $50. the
cases being set for Tuesday morning.
Attorney Henry U. Johnson, appear
ing for the defendants, entered pleas
of not guilty.
The grand larceny charge against
the Hayden woman, was filed later in
circuit court by Prosecutor Ladd. 1t
is alleged that the woman. who has
been mixed up in shooting ARRAYS and
other police troubles. went to the
Jones house with Long. When they
started to leave. it is claimed, Long
found he had lost 500 which he car
ried in an inside pocket. He accused
the Hayden girl of the robbery.
At this juncture "Kentuck' Harris
leaped into the room and with a ter
rife right" fioored Long. The lat
ter fed from the house amid a shower
of kicks and blows. but afterwards re
turned to be arrested. The "joint" is
said to be bad one and has been
under the suspicion of the police for
months according to Chief Gormon.
1t is probable the Hayden girl will
be tried in police court first.
Later she may be tried on the more
serious charge in circuit court.

Indiana Democratic Delega-
ton at Washington,
Asserts Its Rights.

Washington. Jan. 23.-Now that the
Indiana members have unitedly put
Lincoln Dixon on the ways and means
committee, some of them are showing
a disposition to take on Ohio ways and
there is a fuss in the delegation over
the states Endorsement for a place on
the committee on rivers and harbors.
Representative Boehne of the First
district, and Representative Cline of
the Tenth, are the contestants, and
neither is willing to yield an inch.
Boehne represents an Ohio river dis
trict, and his constituents are clamor-
Gus for river improvements. The pro-
posed ship canal to connect Lake Erie
with Lake Michigan, via Fort Wayne,
would run through the heart of Cline's
district. The indications are that it
will be about 100000 years before
that canal is constructed, and even
that prophecy seems to be rushing the
season, but Cline's friends have rea-
son to hope he can stay in congress
his natural life if he can get place
on the rivers and harbors committee
where he can whoop it up for the
canal.
Where Hoosiers Agree.
On all other committee assign
ments the Indiana members are sub
stantially agreed. The list of what
what Indiana wants is convincing
proof that Indiana, like Kentucky,
does not hang back when there is pie
in sight. 1t is as follows:
Boehne-Committee on rivers and

Cullop-Committee on judiciary and

tees on expenditures.
Cox-Committee on appropriations.
Moss-Committee on agriculture
and Craftsmanship Of one of the COM
mittees on expenditures.

Finly Gray. the only new Democrat
ic member of the Indiana delegation

ence. He comes from the "Old Burnt"
district, long represented by James e.
Watson. The deadlock between
Boehne and Cline over the rivers and

ton, when the one receiving the most
