COLONIAL ROOFS DEFINED
New England Type Not So Ornate
as That in South.

New England Colonial architecture is
distinguished by an austcrity of line
and simplicity of decoration we'll in
keeping with the storied character of
the early settlers in Northeastern
America. While the Colonial homes of
New England were by no means con-
fined to the simple gableroof design
which has come to be accepted as the
only true New England" Colonial. it
is true that New England Colonial
architecture is simpler in line than that
developed in the more Southern sections
of the country.
New England Colonial roofs may be
either of the hip or gable types. Many
New England roofs were constructed
in the gambrel style, although this Is
mistakenly supposed to be an evidence
Of Dutch Colonial" origin. The New
England gambrel roof. however, was
higher than the Dutch type while gen.
orally possessing less space inside than
the Swedish Colonial roof, 1t afforded
an opportunity for sleeping apartments
on the second floor. which the Dutch
type generally did not,
Both frame and brick construction
was much used in New England. Both
double hung and easement windows
were used the latter being the earlier
type. Ornament was usually confined
TO simple forms like pilaSters at the en-
trance doorway and plain dentil mold
ings under the caves. The interiors Of
some OF the houses of the period. how
ever were elaborately paneled and
sumptuously furnished.

CITIES FIXING CENSUS
LIMITATIONS FOR 1890
Areas Not Purely Urban Being
Eliminated. u. S. Chamber of
Commerce Says,

In preparation for the forthcoming
census - cities are defining their
metropolitan regions In order that the
returns may be compiled hereafter to
show the rate of growth for such units.
It is recognized that the American city
has spilled over its limits and is now
an aggregation Of municipalities, the
Chamber Of Commerce Of the United
States finds.
Nearly all the cities have recognized
the purpose of the metropolitan regions
and have drawn boundaries which con-
Servatively outline areas that are urban
IN character and that are closely asSo-
ciated in the work Of the central city.
In one or two cases after maps have
been received and the accompanying
data studied. it has even been suggested
"a those cities that the boundaries
should be enlarged in order TO include
an area evidently of an urban character.
In only one case so far has city
definitely suggested including territory
that old not fall clearly within the pur-
pose Of the work.

Three Indiana National Guard
units of Indianapolis will be stricken
from the rolls and the men mustered

or early winter, it was learned to-
day.
Indianapolis half million dollar
armory has proved inadequate to
house the TOO men comprising the
strength of the local unit, accord
ing to Adjt. Gen. William H. Kersh-
ner.
Although none of the units are up
to full war strength and the ma
iority are below peace strength the
new armory does not provide enough
supply store and dri'' room space as
a result.
Adjt Gen. Kershner faces the
necessity of discarding three COM
panies, and making the recon-
mendation that a wing built on
the east side of the Irmory.
Other Cities First
No decision had been reached as
to which three units will be elimf-
mated, KerShner said.
II am waiting for reports on the
fitness of the companies p the en-
campment to determine which COM
panies we shall reduce.
Il will not be able TO make a de-
cision or take steps toward increas-
ing the size of the Armory until
next spring, but 1 will have to cut
three units from our organization
this fall inasmuch as we have not
sufficient supply room and drillroom
space in the Armory."

Former Guard Makes Ac-

Fight Likely.
BIZ Times Special

BIZ Times Special
MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, Aug. o.
Charges that efforts we're made at
the Indiana State prison here to
drive D. C. Stephenson, life term
murder convict, to insanity, and
plans of his counsel to carry his
fight for liberty to United States
courts are latest developments in
the case of the former grand dragon
of the Indiana Ku-Klux Klan.
James B. Davis, prison guard
twenty-five years, asserts prison OFF,
cials sought to cause Stephenson to
become insane. He says the object
was to have him confined in the
institutions hospital for the insane,
thus preventing him from having
communication with attorneys or
friends.
Refers to Protection
"I have protected those in this
for more than a year." Davis de-
clared, "but 1 will talk now." Davis
charges that on one occasion Ste
phenson was placed in solitary con-
flnement in an effort to force him
to reveal the method by which he
slnuggled letters out of the prison.
Commenting on Davis charges,
John A. Brown, secretary of the
State board Of charities, expressed
confidence in Walter H. DAILY, prison
warden. He said Davis had been dis
missed at the prison after an in
vestigation of letter smuggling by
Stephenson.
Robert H. Moore, Gary lawyer,
who is the life convict'S chief coun-
sci, announces "If the courts of IN
diana are barred to Stephenson, we
will have to go to the Federal
courts" referring to blocking of
efforts to obtain a hearing Tuesday
in Laporte Circuit court on habeaS
corpus petition.
Hearing Blocked
With the hearing only few hours
away, writ Of prohibition was is
sued by the Indiana Supreme Court
on application of Attorney General
Arthur L. Gilliom, forbidding Judge
John G. Richter of the La Porte
court to act.
Sept. 4 has been set as a date
for hearing in the Supreme Court
for Judge Richter to show cause
why the prohibition order should
not be permanent. He has retained
as counsel Ralph N. Smith, La Porte
attorney. and Lem j. Dare, South
Bend, former judge of st. Joseph
Superior Court 2.
Moore stated that counsel for Ste
phenson planned to petition the Su-
preme Court to become a party to
the prohibition action.
"In truth, Stephenson is the man
seeking relief and we want to take
part in everything that concerns
him." Moore said. 1--WE will make
an effort to become party defendant
to the prohibition writ along with
Judge Richter.
I'VE have looked into the law and
believe Stephenson has the right to
a habeas corpus. This new move
merely delays us"
