' Coroner Drayton was called yesterday afternoon to a farm near Millersvllle by the death of Frank Smith, colored, who was shot by his half-brother, Robert Smith, with a shotgun. The negroes and their families were cele brating Monday evening the birthday an niversary of Mrs. Robert Smith. A quar rel ensued, arfd Frank Smith got an ax iind attempted; to strike his brother with It. The member of both families inter fered and peace reigned for a yhort time. The quarrel was renewed a little later. Frank Smith went behind his bed and took down a rifle, which was always kept load ed. Robert ran from the house and went to the home of a neighlor named Stevens and a5ktKl to borrow a shotgun for the pur pose of killing weasels. With the shot i;un he returned to the house for his wife and children, '.and as he approached the door Frank Smith shot al him with the ritte. He returned the tire with the shot Kun. the charge spreading and part of it striking Frank Smith In iru- abdomen and the other Jn the arm. Hubert outside got Ills wife nnd children about him, walked with them to the home of Mr. Stevens, where the shotgun was loft upon the door step, and after bidding them good-bye left. The police here were asked yesterday to watch for him. Coroner lirayton said last night his verdict would be that Robert Smith r.cted in self-defen.se, his dead broth er r.Hv.ng first shot at him and having pre viously threatened to kill him. CONFIDENCE IN ROOSEVELT. Senntiir Fnirbnnk (iive Iii Opin io n of the etv Premldent. Senator Fairbanks was asked last night for an expression concerning the new ad ministration and in reply said: "President Roosevelt's ability, character and experi ence in the public service amply justify the oplnlo.i that he will administer well the af fairs of the government. He has made a very excellent- beginning. In the difficult work so unexpectedly tast upon him h( should und will have the cordial support ol every true patriot." The senator takes no stock In tho talk to the efVct that a change In administra tion has caused or might cause a disturb ance In business. "The? change In administration has not disturbed confidence In business circles at all.", he said "If there was any appre hension, it has disappeared ami confidence Is well established." Senator Fairbanks leaves this morning for New York to be gone several days. He may go to Washington before he returns to lndianaioH. HARRISON MONUMENT FUND.

THE LICENSE RECORD IilMHIMI.N ATION AGAINST "15 UTA IN .sai.oov Ki:i;ri:ns. -'ither Hint or tlie t lty Administra tion Has Iteew Guilty of ;rom .Negligence. DILATORY ABOUT RENEWALS J.IAMS Kl.l.l'CltS WHO FAll.HI) TO ACT IN PUOMI'T MANNKIt. What an In ea;lgnt ion of the Ree tirilx In th Auditor! und Con troller' OtUeo Show. An Investigate. i of the city liquor li cense record in the city controller's of l'.ce and the slate license record in th ?junty auditor's oflic shows that certain jaloonlsts have been favored by the co administration in that they have tten al lowed to continue business without renew ing their licenses, or else it has been gu'Hy 01 gross negligence. The fact that William Miller, who has a saloon at C7 Fast Court street, was arrested because he allowed his license to lapse two days while other Haloonists were from a week to a month behind with their licenses, leaves the con clusion open that Miller was discriminated against. It Is openly charged by Miller and his friends that politics ami his refusal to pay a $30 campaign assessment were be hind his arrest. Miller had always been a Democrat until the present local campaign. He was a Democrat in national politics until free silver ,lecame an Issue and then he voted for McKinley, yet supported the local Democratic ticket. This fall, however, he saw fit to change his politics locally and this is said to have Incensed the Demo cratic managers of the city administration. Charles Polster, representing the Demo crats, is said to have demanded s.0 from Miller as an assessment for the support of the Democratic ticket. Miller refused to pay the assessment and was arrested for running his saloon without license. His license had lapsed two days. He was ar rested on Saturday, Sept. 14. and released the following Monday without a trial, lie had paid for his license before his arrest, but because the county treasurer's office was not open at the time his license could not be issued. OTHERS NOT MOLKSTED. The records show that many saloonlsts have been allowed to run their saloons after their license expired without being molested. The county records show that the license of L. E.

Mack, 1401 Kentucky avenue, expired on Sept. 1, and was not renewed until the 16th. The rec ords in the city controller's office do not show that he took out city license. James Finn. lUrJ Oliver avenue, took out license Sept. 16, after a delinquency dating back to the first day of the month. E. Hase, 1712 West Washington street, allowed his license to go delinquent from Seit. S till Sept. 16. MOKE THAN ONE MONTH. The state license of James W. Murphy, 22 West Court street, expired Aug. 13 and was not taken out until Sept. 16. The city records show that he renewed his city li cense on Aug. 13. C. J. Gardner, 119-121 West Market street, did not renew his license, which expired Sept. 4, until Sept. 17. The license of John F. Lanahan, 1413 Hillside avenue, expired on June 5, but was not taken out until Sept. 20. The license of Patrick Naughton, 701 West New York street, expired on March 21 and was not taken out until Sept. 20. The records do not show that he has re newed his city license.

Jacob Crone. 21 East Wnühlngton street. rnwel hi license on ?ept. 21. and It ex pired on Sept. 4. George R. Parke renewed his license on Sept. 24; It expired on Sept. 11. TIME OF RENEWALS. These renewals were all In the month of September. The records were not gone over hack of that lt. It will be seen that In the last few days, and particularly slnee Miller was arrested and the discrim ination was made public, there has been a rush for renewals. Out of the thirty-two cases above mentioned, which cover none lefM than a week delinquent, twenty-three licenses were renewed after Miller's arrest, although they had expired before that of Miller's. Besides these mentioned there are many that went for two to four or five day without renewing, and the records wl. show that no less than llftv licenses ex pired this month and were not renewed until they were delinquent. The records in the city controller's office show that many city licenses were renewed long before new State licenses were taken out. This is accounted for by the city seeking revenue. The city received the payment for the license before the State granted any. plating the fees at the Im mediate disposal of the city administration. This prac tice has been followed, and while it is raid to not be illegal, the city has realized an immediate profit. Generally, the licenses expired and were renewed on the same day both In the auditor's and controller's offices. No explanation is given why all of thse delinquents were permitted to run their saloons unmolested while Miller, less guilty than the great majority, was singled out as a law viola tor, unless it was discrimination because of his refual to pay a campaign assess ment. The city employs a license inspector to see that renewals are made promptly. ASSESSING SALOON KCKI'CIlS. They .re Heqtiired to Pay ly the Democratic Co in mil tee. It is no longer a secret that the saloon ke e pers are bring assess 1 by the Demo cratic city committee a stipulated sum for campaign purposes. While the saloon mon are reticent about discussing the assess ments, many acknowie-dge that such as sessments are being made. The names of the saloonlsts arc kept in a book and the amount they donate Is checked opposite their names. From what could be learned by a caiuass of saloons the down-town places are being assessed ." each and the saloons outside- the business district ?2.". Where one man owns two saloons his as sessment Is double. The assessors show no willingness to compromise in their de mands, atul through fear the money is paid with no material protest. Many saloon keepers say they can afford to stand the assessment rather than have their saloons dosed at 11 o'clock and on Sundays. They say they could stand clos ing at 11 o'clock elurlng the week on all days except Saturday, when thev have a big tra.le from 11 till 12. The "Saturday night and Sunday trade alone, they say. is worth the assessment. The example that was made of William Miller has had a pleasing effect for the representatives of the Democratic committee, and the saloon keepers have been lel to believe that the warning that things would be "made warm" for them if they did not pay was maele in earnest. WILL HAVE NEW BUILDING REPRESENTATIVE OVERSTHEET JSE c:liu:s an initi i:jii:nt. A .IIiich-Needeil Addition to the Local PoMtoflice More Free Deliv ery for Thl County. The people of Indianapolis will rejoice to learn that within a short time they will not be compelled to buy stamps in one building, go Into the outer air and enter another' building to mall their letters. Tills assurance comes at an opportune time, since winter Is not far away. The accom plishment of this public blessing is due to the efforts of Representative Overstreet, begun several months ago and crowned with success on the occasion of his recent visit to Washington. Mr. Overstreet has succeeded In getting from the Treasury Department the permission necessary to allow the owners of the site of the present postoffice to erect a building in the court between the main building of the postof fice and the mailing department, such building to be rented to the government for the use of the local postoffice. At the time the people of the country were receiving favorable news of President McKlnley's condition Mr. Overstreet ar ranged to go to Washington to settle the postoffice matter, and his trip was only hastened by the death of the President. Immeellately after the funeral in the na tional capital Mr. Overstreet visited the Treasury Department for the purpose of obtaining the necessary authority to erect the building mentioned. The construction of the building will be gin in a few weeks and will go forward rapidly. Mr. Overstreet said yesterday that he feels certain that by Dec. 1 the people of Indianapolis will bo able to transact all their postal business under one roof. The additional building will reliene a congested condition In the carrier depart ment ot the office that has worried Post master McGinnis for a long time. It is expected also that there will be additional room sufficient to allow the money order department to escape from its present cramped condition. The expense to the government will be only $2,0t0 additional each year for rent of the new building. The annual appropriation for the local postoffice will be increased by this amount. RURAL FREE DELIVERY. While Mr. Overstreet was in Washington he did a good stroke of business for his constituents in the Seventh district out side the city of Indianapolis. He made ar rangement whereby the rural free deliv ery service; that now exists in Marion coun ty will be greatly improved, and those points not now reached will have the bene fit of the service. Mr. Overstreet is having prepared a map that will show all points in Marlon county now reached by the rural delivery system, and he will use this map in making up his list of improvements to bo submitted to the authorities In Washington, and also to show the places in the county that are at present without the advantage of rural free delivery of mail. He confidently ex pects the entire county, which is now the Seventh congressional district, to be sup plied with rural delivery routes by the first of the year. The general public is scarcely aware of the growth of this branch of the postal business in the short time in which it has been operated. A visit to rural delivery headquarters, in the Majestic building, is calculated to open the eyes of the uniniti ated. This department is in charge of Frank M. Dice, superintendent of rural free delivery for the entire State, and he and his corps of assistant reejulre four large rooms In which to transact their business. Mr. Dice was. until recently, compelled to occupy a stuffy little room on the third floor of the postoffice building, in which he and his assistants had to el bow and proceed with great care wnen they desireel to enter or leave the office. The present headquarters of the service are roomy and fitted up in comfortable style. FUNERAL OF REV. N. A. HYDE. A Simple hat Impressive Ceremony In ThU City. The funeral of Rev. N. A. Hyde, who died at his summer home at Ludlow. Vt., on July 13, was held yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the family home at 1316 North Delaware street. The services, which were conducted by the Rev. R. S. Osgood, pastor of the Mayllow er Congregational Church, of which Dr. Hyde was formerly pastor, were attended by about two hundred friends of Dr. Hyde and his family. The services were brief and simple, consisting of songs by the Mafllower Church choir, a solo by Mrs. Fug.ite and a sermon by the Rev. Mr. Osgood. The funeral sermon was a beauti ful tribute to the memory of Dr. Hyde, who was known by all as a mn of sweet and noble character who had accomplished a good work. The honorary pall bearers were Noble ('. Butler. T. C. Day. . T. Steele. Jacob K. Irving. W. H. H. Mlllr and the Rev. F. D. Curtis. The active pall bearers were all Kraduates eif Yale College, from which the Kev. Mr. Hyde graduated. They were Clinton L. Hare. William P. Herod. Louis Howland. Merrill Moores. Jamex M. Wint ers and Evans Woolen. The burial was at Crown Hill. t'hnrle llnrlnnd Arremtetl. Charles Harland, colored, of 51: Mus kingum street, was arrested yesterday by Captain Kinney and Detectives Asch and Wallace, and charged with entering the Hildebrand shoe shop at Z North Illinois street early yesterday morning.

THE PARTY MANAGERS work is now m;i; done in i:n- TIIISIASTIC MANNER. The Ilepiibl iemiM Are De-votln Their Efforts to Perfecting Their Org li nizntloii. DEMOCRATIC BEER PARTIES THEV ARE ItEINt; HELD "ON THE CIMET" i:EHV EVENING. Wenk Spoli in Their Oitii Party Ne leeted nnd KfTort Made to l)ls nlTect Republican Voters. The political managers of both parties are enthusiastically discussing the new zeal that has been infused into the campaign since the be ginning of the present week. A week ago the politicians were apparently content to let the campaign run Itself, bdt beginning with Monday the party workers discarded their slothfulness and have gone, to work in earnest. Monday night the Republicans held fifty live precinct meetings, all of which were well attended by party workers, and last night they let out another link and hail a meeting in every precinct in the city. There is nothing to say of these meetings other than that they Indicate the line of action which the Republicans have mapped out for the campaign. The former defeats oi the Republican party in this city have al ways been attributed to the fact that Re publicans failed to get out their vote. The city is unquestionably Republican by a large majority and the party managers realize this year that If they can get thedr voters to the polls victory is assured. With this end in view the Republican city committee is directing its energies to the perfection of party organization. Very little attention is being paid by the Re publican managers to the Democratic vote, although they fully appreciate the fact that there are hundreds of dissatisfied Demo crats, who will not support their own ticket this fall. Cnder these circumstances and working with the idea of perfecting art organization which will get out the Re publican vote as nearly as possible the Re publicans have not found It necessary to expend any great amount of money in "keeping in line." which is always costly and uncertain. AFTER REPUBLICAN VOTES. On the other hand the Democrats, know ing that they cannot hope to win without the assistance of thousancis of Republican votes, have in a measure neglected the weak spots in their own party ami have exerteel themselves in what the Republi can managers say has been a vain endeav or to disaffect the Republican vote. The effort of the Democratic machine has been especially directed toward the capture of the colored vote, and such men as Charles Polster, "Dill" Kissel and others have left nothing undone to bring about the desired result for the Democratic managers. Beer parties, to which a select few are invited, nave been of almost nightly occurrence for the past four weeks. Money has been dis tributed almost lavishly in certain colored" quarters of the city. But with it all it is ciaimcHl by the Republicans that the col ored vote was never before so well '"lind up" for the Republican ticket. Club after club, some with large memberships and others with enlj a few, have been organ ized among colored voters, and, without exception, they arc evidencing more en thusiasm than any other class of voters in the city. Another thing which makes the Repub licans feel confident of success is the fact that at this election they will have their own inspectors, and there will be no chance for any chicanery on the part of any per sons who might desire to return a different vote from that put in the ballot boxes. At the last regular meeting of the City Council a new list of inspectors was elected. To determine the validity of their election the Republican city committee will bring another suit in the Superior Court to compel the Board of Election Commissioners, which is Democratic, to recognize the regularity of the appoint ment. MR. CULBERT MAY RESIGN. He Has Offered to Take Thnt Step If He In InellKlhle. The resignation of Uriah Culbert, a mem ber of the board of control of the State Prison, will, according to a state official, be presented to the board at its meeting In the Governor's parlor this morning. The meeting was called by Enos II. Nebeker, president of the prison board, at the sug gestion of Governor Durbln. ' According to those Immediately Interested, the meeting will have nothing to do with any other matter than the heating plant for the prison. Frank Martin, deputy auditor of state, said yesterday that he felt sure this was the object of the meeting, since Mr. Nebeker had asked him during the after noon yesterday if certain appropriations for the prison, among them the repair fund, will be unavailable after Oct. 31 Mr. Martin said all appropriations for the fiscal year from Oct. 31. 190). to Oct. 31. 1901, would be unavailable after the latter date. Henc the presumption is that the board desires to complete arrangements for the Installation of the new heating plant be fore the appropriation passes from its con trol. Governor Durbln declined to talk about the allegations that Messrs. Culbert and Coulter are disqualified from holding their position on the State Prison board by rea son of connection with companies transact ing business with the institution. Attorney' General Taylor was closeted with the Governor yesterday afternoon, but when asked If he and the chief execu tive had been discussing the Culbert-Coul-ter affair declared emphatically that they had not. There is a great deal of talk about the prifon trouble among state officials, but no one will say anything for publication, al lowing the use of his name. "If you will not print my name." said one state official. "I will say to you that I think Mr. Culbert 'worked' the Governor. The fact that he has never called on the Governor since the wtory was printed about him looks very strange. I do not believe Governor Durbin had the slightest Idea that Culbert was Ineligible when he ap pointed him." HttM Written to Governor. Special to th InaiAnApolts Journal. VALPARAISO. Ind., Sept. 24. Ex-State Senator Uriah Culbert. of Michigan City, was here yesterday, and stated that the report which has gone out that he had resigned as a member of the board of di iectors of the state prison was not cor rect. Mr. Culbert has written Governor Durbln that he will resign at once if the attorney sneral decides that his oversight has in any manner compromised the Gov ernor or himself. MONUMENT PAID TOR. The Soldler' nnd Sailor' Shaft nt I.at Knlly Completed. There was rejoicing in State oincial cir cles yesterday when the news epread about that the board of momitne-nt regents, at its meeting shortly before noon, had made the last payment on the sohllers' and sailors' monument. "Yes. It is true that the monument Is at lsst completed and paid for." said Col. I. N. Walker, the only mtmbtr ef the board tht resides here. "We gave Sculptor Schwartz a warrant for. SsM this morning, which was the last of the Vs.ri"U h was to receive under his contract for the Peaco group on the west side of the monument. We also paid the balance of the $4.(mi due on the bronze doors, bronze frames and candelanra dec orations made by Schultz et Holdeflelss. of Berlin. Those were the only claims out standing on account of the munumen. an. Its accessories." An examination of the contract for the peace group showed that the board of regents hid paid M-. Schwartz before they were legallv bound tr do so. The be are explained this by saying that they very much desired to clear up a'.! thes claim before the life of the present board expires, which will be Oct. 21. The contract sa: s: "Ten per cent, of such installments (aggre gating $S.j.ti) to be retained until the ex piration of sixty-five days from the comple tion, delivery and putting in position )f the group and the acceptance and approval thereof by the board." The Peace group was not formally accept ed until yesterday's meeting, no that Sculp tor Schwartz received his money sixty-five days before it was legally due. The regents were all present at yester day's meeting and held a Jollification ses sion after the regular meeting, congratu lating themselves and the people of the State that a great undertaking had finally been finished. The exact cost of the monu ment has not yet been figured, but it is known that it will reach beyond S&jo.OVi. THE QUIGLEY CHARGES CLERK IIA VIS NVILL, LAY Til KM IIE FOnn THE BOARD FRIDAY. .Mr. MeMillen, of the Hoard, Doe .Not Want to Be Held ltoioiilble City Affair. Edward H. Davis, c lerk of the' Board of Safety, announced yesterday afternoon that he will lay the charges again Superin tendent of Police Quigley, Captain Kruger and Patrolman Shine, preferred by the Civic Alliance, before the board when it convenes in special session Friday after noon. Davis said he would do this on his own authority and nothing would prevent the board receiving the charges unless they are withdrawn by the attorneys for the alliance or unless they fly away, or further, unless the board does not meet. The special meeting Is called for the purpose of re ceiving bids for ooal for the police and fire departments. Members of the board have been censured for delaying the hearing of the charge against the pedice ofHcers. who are charged with failure to perform their duties in al lowing saloons to remain open on Sundays. The board was to have met n regular ses sion last Friday, but it did not, for rea sons best known to the chairman, it is said. Those who are intereste! in the charges will not wait and see if the Demo cratic members of the board are present Friday. "I don't like to be censured for the delay of the board In hearing the charges against the police officers." said W. S. MeMillen, Republican member of the board, yester day. "I am no party to the evident scheme to keep the matter under cover and I want the people to know that I have nothing to do with the delay in holding the investiga tion. 1 am always willing to meet with the other members of the board and hear any charges that are preferred or trans act any other business that may come he lore the board. The charges against the police officers have now been on file for some time and should be investigated. "The board was scheduled to hold a reg ular meeting last Friday. I came to the board'B office Friday morning and was told by the clerk of the board that there would not be a meeting in the afternoon. Clerk Davis was evidently instructed by Chair man Hyde to furnish me this information. I waited for Chairman Hyde and he came later in the morning and I asked him if the board would meet that day. I am toing away and there isn't anything par ticular to come before the board any how, said Hyde. I do not know whether he left the city or not. but I do know that the investigation has been delayed without Just cause." Carnival Association Papers. The articles of incorporation of the Car nival Association were signed yesterday afternoon by the promoters. The articles provide for future events of the sort, as well as the one proposed for this year. The site which will have the main attractions has not yet been selected. The promoters insist that gambling shall not be allowed, and that the police will be asked to co operate in its suppression. 91.25 Cincinnati nnd Return $ 1.23. Via C, II. & II., Sunday, Sept. 20.
