School children of Indianapolis will
be given modern. sanitary, fireproof
school buildings to replace the port
ables, temporary shacks and make
shifts now used by 5000 pupils if the
school board is permitted by the State
tax board TO carry out its building
program.
This was made certain Tuesday
night when the board, without dis
senting vote, approved plans for new
buildings and additions at six schools
and announced that plans for two
others will be taken up as soon as
they are completed.
Hearing Next Wednesday
The action was taken in the face Of
a remonstrance signed by fourteen
persons, said to be taxpayers, now
pending before the tax board. The
-remonstrance for the time being at
least has prevented the sale Of
81, $50, 900 worth of bonds for the cree
ton of the eight buildings. Hearing
on the remonstrance has been set for
next Wednesday at 9 a. m.
Approval of the plans and specifi-
cations for the six buildings was made
after Commissioner Charles L. Barry
made a long speech in which he said
that, although he was in favor of the
building program, he believed action
should be delayed until after the board
could consider the plans at greater
length. He did not vote against APP

Status of Signers Questioned
They said there was strong prob
ability investigation would show that
at least five of the signers were in
duced to sign under misapprehension
of the facts or were not qualified by
law. In this event the State tax
board will be asked to throw out the
petition. The law requires that a
remonstrance be signed by ten tax
payers other than poll tax payers.
The matter was touched upon by
Richard o. Johnson, business direc-

He said, otto Graf, who signed the
remonstrance, says he was misled by
some one from the Office of Edison r.
Wood into signing the remonstzance
and desires to have his name removed
therefrom. John G.. Mccullough claims
that he signed the remonstrance at
the request of Mr.. Wood, not knowing
its purport, and it is to be presumed
that the two men connected with him
in office also signed under like mis-
apprehension.

HORSE RACING
At FREEHOLD
Elaborate Plans for Return of
Thoroughbred Racing
Being Made

Elaborate plans are going for
ward for a notable return of
thoroughbred racing at Freehold,
N. j. The National SteepIechase
and Hunt association has granted
the Freehold club dates for a five
day season from August 81 to 81,
inclusive, and it is promised that the
sport will be better than any racing
in New Jersey since the days of the
old Monmouth track.
This meeting will be under the
sanction of the governing body of
hunt club racing and the manage
ment has the hearty cooperation of
that body, Joseph l.. Donahay of
Freehold is the ruling spirit of the
Freehold club and in preparation
for this meeting the track, which
for years has been a popular rae
ing ground, is undergoing a rebuild
Ing to make it adequate for the sea-
son.
The old grandstand, which has
served for some of the smaller meet
ings conducted successfully at Free
hold, is being replaced by a COM
modious and modern structure that
will be capable of comfortably seat
ing 5000. The old stand will be
utilized for the construction of ad-
dition stabling facilitie. and the
plans contemplate in addition to the
new stand, restaurant facilities and
an immense dancing floor.
Freehold, situated as 1t Is on the
direct automobile highway between
New York and Atlantic City, enjoys
peculiar advantages for the sport
loving public. 1t is of easy access
from Atlantic City and in past sea-
sons with no such promise as is
held out this season short meetings
have been eminently successful. For
the coming meeting the program
that has been prepared calls for the
distribution of $4,000 in purses
and the prizes will be such that
many of the best horses in train
ing will be attracted. Briefly, it
is the first real return of racing to
the State of New Jersey in almost
a generation and the sportsmen
who are behind the venture are
building with a view of permanency.
The dates chosen make possible the
drawing of stables of importance
and the assurances that have al
ready been received from several of
the most prominent stables leaves
no doubt of the quality of the
horses that will make up the fields;

thrilling contest. The inmate nine
is in the Railway city league and Is
considered to be the leading con-

Reports that the left of Luis Fir

present champion, will be given a
real test at Boyle's Thirty Acres in
Jersey City tonight where he will

Since the start of their respective
ring careers. Willard and Firpo have

right hand. Trainer De Forest has
schooled the South American boxer
at Long Branch and as a result of
this training, Firpo is said to have
a better left than the champion. The

win the right tonight to fight Demp-

ted to be in better condition than
