MUSICIANS
COLLIDE
WITH AUTO

Quite a little excitement was caused
In 14Sth street, not far from White Oak
avenue. yesterday morning. when four
half drunken musicians who had evil
IDENTIFY been out all night, undertook to
get gay" with three men in an auto
mobile, who had stopped their machine
for some slight repair and who were
about to start up the musicians
came down the road.
The musicians spread themselves
across the street and tried to block the
way. Twice the machine was stopped
while the occupants argued with the
musicians and ordered them out of the
way. Thinking. however, that they
were perpetrating quite a joke on the
automobilists, they persisted with the
result that one of their number was
knocked down. This had the effect of
stopping the car again and when it
was discovered that the man was not
hurt, but was merely fastened to the
road by the coat. one sleeve and the
tail of which were held firmly by a
front wheel, the chauffeur without
further ado sailed into the member OF
the band who stood nearest him. An
other of the automobile party engaged
a second of the musicians and the only
remaining one, seeing that his COM
panions were getting the worst of it
took to his heels. 1t was not long be-
fore three fleeing figures were Logging
it toward White Oak avenue.
In the meantime the fourth had beer
squirming in the dust of the road un-
derneath the machine, and as the rest
were disposed of he lay In an agony
of suspense wondering what would b,
! his fate. 1t did not take him long. The
machine was lifted from his coat, bur
| before he was allowed to go each OF
| the trio who had been annoyed by the
| smart alec maneuvers of the drunken
quartet took a kick at him.

TIMES BUREAU
AT THE STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 10. The
inheritance tax bill which passed the
house some time ago. was passed by
few amendments that amount to lit
tie. 1t is expected that the house will
quickly concur in the senate amend
ments and that the bill go to the gov
ernor at once for his signature. That
he will sign 1t there is no doubt be-
cause he has been in favor of the in
heritance tax and gave his approval
to the Tingle bill before 1t was intro
duced. The bill provides for a graded
tax on inheritances, ranging from
per cent up to per cent, according
to the size of the inheritance and the
degree of relationship between the de-
visor and devisee. sInheritances under
a certain amount are exempted, as
also are inheritances by wife, and
gifts to educational and religious in
stitutions The bill was amended also
in one spot SO as to provide that in
heritances or gifts to Catholic bishops.
This was put in because on the death
of the bishop of Catholic diocese all
church property in the diocese goes to
the successor as bishop. The inherit
ance tax on such an inheritance would
be large.

In accepting the Erdman method of

in wages which will give them from

ask for two firemen on the heavier To-

entered the senate chamber and some
body told him to vote aye. He did
not know what the bill was but he
voted aye, and the bill was passed by
his vote. Whether, the bill will pass
the house is question.
The senate also passed the McCor-
mick loan shark bill, which is a copy
of the Hughes bill which passed the
house a few days ago. Since both
branches have taken favorable action,
it is thought that TIE senate will ac-
cept the Hughes bill, which was first
passed. and pass it and allow the Nc
Cormick bill to rest peacefully in the
house.
The Mccormick and Hughes bills
provide that any lender of money who
loans sums up to $3.50 at more than

petty loan brokers. A petty loan brok-
er is required to register with the
county clerk and pay a license fee OF
$50 year and take out license.

TWO COPS To WATCH THEM.

I'VE have to have two negro police

good industrious negroes in Gary there
are a lot of shiftless ones. Our police
officers have been instructed to inquire
of every negro who does not seem to
have any means of support as to
whether or not he Is working. If not
he is run out of town. We have run
200 undesirables out of the city in the
past week.

Negroes who commit crimes in Gary

These loan sharks are not permitted
to charge more than per cent
month interest and not more than SO
fee for investigating the security when
a chattel mortgage is given as secur-
ity.
This schedule of rates is vastly diff
ferent from the 10 per cent more per
month which the sharks now charge
for the:r money.
1t is said that already the loan
sharks are planning to defeat the pur-
pose of the bill by a scheme whereby
they will split a loan of $25 in FIVE
parts of SIS each and charge So for in

last night.
The school trustees were informed
that Forrest p. Rundell will be will
ing to sell his is acres at Fifteenth
avenue and First street for $4,000. Five
more acres adjoining it can be secured
by condemnation proceedings. The
sentiment of the trustees was that the
land would be taken at the figured
named and a tract of that size is de-
sired as the board will have a joint
park and school playground in Tolles-
ton.
As soon as the site arrangements
are completed the construction work
will be started on the Toliestony school
which will cost $500, 1000 and which will
house so teachers and 2.500 pupils. 1t
is expected to have the foundation
completed by autumn.
An increase from 81 800 to s2,1o0 a
month was voted to all school prin-
cipals, heads of departments, and the
