Work llounl AfTnlr. Lincoln lane residents were before the Hoard of Works yesterday protesting against the proposition to allow the street car company to take up its tracks In Lin coln lane and put them in South East street. The board answered that the mat ter was now before the street car company, but advlsed.the South Side people to agree on the extension proposition, so that some thing can be done. One delegation wants the South East-street line extended, end suggested that the Lincoln lane part of the Garfield Fark line might be abandoned. This caused the controversy. The New Telephone Company made a complaint to the board that the Indianapo lis Light and Power Company is placing its wires beneath those of the telephone com pany on Muskingum street.! Mr. Sheerin, of the telephone company, s:ys it has been the rule for each company to overconstruct the other according to precedence in the etreet. Chairman Sahm suggested that the telegraph and telephone companies and the hot water heating and electric companies get together and see if they cannot agree on the pole and wire question before re ferring the question to the board.

HOW THE FRACAS STARTED IIAIITHMIEH WILSON IIA KNOCKED DOWN BOIlEItT 3FOUAT. Ilnrnrtt W'nm with 3IeOnnt. inI After Some Argument Shot Wilson Twice He AVIII Die. The Bates Inn, a resort In the rear of the Windsor, across from the Bates House, was the scene of a shooting affray last night which will probably result in the death of Frank Wilson, white, the barten der. Wilson was shot just above the heart and collapsed and was unable to talk more than to say -the shooting was done by a negro who accompanied "Bob" McOuat. The story of the affair, as gained from a number of persons, each of whom knew a little of It, was to the efTect that Robert L. McOuat and r. colored man, said to have been the famiiy coachman, went into the saloon about 11 o'clock. Wilson was on duty at the bar and in the rear of the bar room was Dan Lynch. All except Lynch were in the front of the room when an ar gument began over a matter unknown. A fight started and Wilson knocked McOuat down. The negro drew a revolver and threatened to shoot Wilson, who grabbed him by the arm and began talking and try ing to get him to put the weapon in his pocket. McOuat and the negro were intoxi cated. Wilson took the negro back through the barroom, through a door into tho "cafe" and to the door In front, over which is a sisn reading "Ladies' Entrance." During the walk to the front door Wil son talked with the negro, advising hiiÄ to be quiet and put up his revolver. The negro put the weapon into his pocket and peace fully continued the walk to the door. As he went through the doorway he again took the revolver from his pocket, turned and fired two shots. One of the bullets took effect In Wilson's body, striking him just above the heart, first passing through his coat and cutting in twain his watch chain. The negro ran and Wilson cried, "My God, Dan, I'm shot!" Dan Lynch had gone from the barroom to the door where the negro left the building and had just turned to go back when the shots were fired. He went at once to the telephone and called for tho bicycle police and the City Dis pensary physicians. FELL TO THE FLOOR. Wilson turned and walked, or rather staggered to the rear end of the room, and there fell to the floor, where he tore his shirt off. What became of McOuat at that time is not known, but it is thought he left the building by another frontdoor at the time Wilson started to the rear with the negro. Tom Hedian, Superintendent Quigley's clerk, xassing on a street car, heard the shots and ran to the place, rinding Wilson on the floor. He was unable to get from him then any information other than that he had been shot by a negro. Mrs. Holland, the cook, came in and took care of Wilson while Lynch and William Reed brought a couch from an upper room. Reed heard the shots while in the loft of an adjacent livery stable and ran to the rear end, looking through a window out onto the alley. He saw two men running, but was unable to recognize them. He called to three negroes standing in the en trance to the Bates House kitchen anil asked, "What's the matter?" "Oh, some body's shooting at a dog," was the reply. Reed, however, hurried elown and in the saloon found Wilson, from whom he was unable to elicit any information. Wilson was apparently failing fast until the arrival of the Dispensary doctors, when ammonia was applied to his nostrils, and he revived sufficiently to tell Captain Daw son that a negro who accompanied "Rob" McOuat did the shooting and later to say that he had no revolver and did no shoot ing. A CROWD PRESENT. The "cafe" was filled with curious per rons for a time. Continual efforts we.e made to get Wilson to give the name of his assailant, but he was unable to do so. Just before he was taken to the City Hos pital Lynch, who was an intimate friend, dropped to his knees beside the couch and, kissing Wilson's face and lips, said: "God bless you Frank." In the room were a number of hackmen and others who had seen McOuat about the streets and saloons during the even ing In company with a negro, who was known to be the family coachman, and their description corresponded with tint given by Lynch. The bicycle policemen and a number of the district patrolmen were sent out from the place and Grittln and Manning found Mc Ouat at the English Hotel, where he was looking for his hat. His face was covered with blood and across his nose was a cut from which the blood was running. On his cheek was a scar freshly made. He was drunk and unable to talk plainly or with any understanding. He was taken to headquarters and charged with drunk enness. He claimed to know nothing of what happened and at llrst denied having been around the saloons with the negro coachman, lie later admitted this fact, but said he could remember nothing of what happened except that he was In some place when a man drew a revolver and lired at him. He said his Injuries were Inflicted by a bullet, but Dr. Christian and others sald the cut was probably mado in some other way. CAUGHT IN THE STABLE. Griffin and Manning then went to Mrs. McOuat's home, 212 North Meridian street, and inquired regarding the colored coach man, Jan.es Harnett. Being unable to learn anything from her they went to the stable and found it locked. After pounding at the doors and windows for some time and receiving no response they broke into the place anil found Barnett, who was either so drunk as to be unable to move or feigning drunkenness. He was much under the Influence of li.juor. When he was aroused he sal I "What'd you want here.'" One of tho marks of description given by Lynch was that the negro carried In his overcoat a folded newspaper. This was found in Harnett's pocket, and the other points corresponded. Barnett was taken by Captain Dawson to the City Hospital, arriving there just after the doctors had announced that Wilson could live but a few moments. Harnett was hurried to Wilson's cot and stimulants ap plied. 1'nder pressure Wilson aroused l.imttlf sufficiently to look at Barnett. He was very weak and could hardly with stand the strain. Barnett was told to talk to Wilson, who asked him If he was the i.egro who was In the saloon with "Boh" McOuat. Barnett said he was and Wilson, sinking back onto the couch, said: "If you are the man who was with Bob McOuat. you are the man who shot me for nothing."1 Barnett was taken away and re-fused to make any answer to the questions of the o'ilcers. At 1 o'clock this morning Wilson was sinking last and it was said he could pot live. McOuat is thought to have been the man who ran through a private alley in the rear of the Windsor block. Into an alley at the lde of the Cyclorama build ing, out Into Wabash street and into the alley bttwtcu Market and Illinois otrcets, disappearing from followers In that al ley. John Fields and several other men who were In the Club stable on Market street, saw a man without a hat run from the alley, and started in pursuit. When they arrived at Wabash street they saw William F. Tanner, of the Zoo, who said. "Shall I stop him?'' The pursuers said "Yes." and Tanner fired two shots from his revolver, which contained only blande cartridges. The shots had the effect of making the fugitive run faster, and when no police officers appeared, the other man gave up the chase. McOuat appeared a few minutes later at the English Hotel without his hat. SERIOUS FIRE LOSSES. Jesse I). llumrlck House Totally Destroyed Other Flren. The residence of Attorney Jesse D. Ham rick, C012 North Meridian street, was to tally destroyed by lire this morning. The fire was discovered about 1:15 a. m. by one of Mr. Hamrick's neighbors. A call was hurriedly turned in to the fire de partment, but by the time the engines ar rived the lire had made such headway that it was found Impossible to save the house or any of Its contents. The loss will reach several thousand dollars. Several Lohnm ly Fire. At 10 o'clock last night the one-story frame residence of John Bowman, 500 Ta- coma avenue, was burned to the ground. The fire originated from . an overheated stove. All the furniture was destroyed. Loss, The department had a run to 513 South Delaware street, vhere a defective flue in the office of the Webb-Jamison Transfer Company caused a slight loss. A colored girl employed at the Indianap olis Glue Company's factors, in disposing ot a lighted cigarette yesterday afternoon, threw It Into a barrel partially tilled with glue, which caused a blaze, damaging the plant to the amount of $2öo. HENRY L. WILSON HERE hi: is the vnitkd states minister TO CHILEAN GOVERNMENT. CoiiHidernhle VnennlneNN In the Sonth ern I'urt of the South Ameri can Continent. Henry I,. Wilson, United States minis ter to Chile, is at the home of John II. Vajen, 63u North Meridian street, visiting after four years of diplomatic service in the South American republic. He left Chile fn Feb. 6 with his family and arrived in Indianapolis last Monday. After reviewing the climatic, industrial and commercial conditions of the republic to a reporter last night Mr. Wilson eulogized the Chil ean for his superiority over all the Span ish peoples in the South American conti nent. The nation Is the most warlike of any In Latin American, he said, and their army and navy is inferior only to that of the United States of any in the west ern hemisphere. "There is at present considerable uneasi ness," he said, "all through the southern half of South America growing out of the controversy between Chile, Peru and Bolivia relative to the disputed provinces of Tacana and Arica. There has been some talk of an offensive and defensiv alliance between the Argentine Republic, Bolivia and Peru for the purpose of forc ing Chile to surrender certain portions of these disputed provinces to Bolivia and Peru, and Chile is being attacked from many quarters with the charge of trying to absorb the territories of her weaker neigh bors. These provinces Chile occupies by vir tue of the treaty which terminated the war with Peru and Bolivia ten years ago. Their final disposition, however, by the terms of the treaty must be determined by popular vote cf the inhabitants. Delays have occurred and no action has been taken. A spirit of bitterness has developed on all sides, but 1 am of opininn that it Is not the disposition of Chile to pusn her boundary line beyond territories that do not belong to her. I feel quite certain that she will not quit a foot of soil which came to her as the result of her victory." TO SELECT A SITE. A Committee Appointed hy the In diana Cluh. The directors of the Indiana Club, the new Democratic organization that con templates the erection of a clubhouse, met last night at the office of Kern & Bell and appointed a committee to locate a site for the new building The committee is com posed of L.
