Expression of nn ImllKiinnt Volun teer Jvi-Oflloer. Lieutenant McCorrnick, who was out to the Philippines in Colonel Dorst'a volun teer regiment, which saw its share of fight ing and "hiking." when asked yesterday what he knew of "the v.af r torture or cure." said: "What do I know of it? Why. 1 never heard of it until I got home. I J!vcr saw any severe punishment of Filipi nos. After we had chased a band several miles over the hills two companies of our regiment got in the rear of them, only to Und tlie men who had been shooting at us withou'. arms and professing ardent regard lor ua. A lieutenant who could speak enough of the language to make an ap parent leader understand what was meant asked for the arms. 'Amigo. was his reply. Thereupon the man was told that if he did not tell where the guns were he would be knocked down. He did not, and he was knocked down with the fist. As Foon as he was on his feet the lieutenant knocked him down again. When he had been knocked down lour times the Filipino concluded to give up the hidden rifles. That is the nearest to cruelty that I saw, and if the man had not been forced to give up the arms they would have hern used to Phoot us If we had not carried our prisoners away. The United States authorities have been too lenient with some of thtse people. Why. one leader, after giving his word to annoy us no more, was arrested three tlme3 with weapons. He should have been shot when captured the s-.-ond time. Just think of thot;e men in Washington who want to call Agulnaldo here because they cannot believe American ofhVer.s! Cursing is no relief for the wrath such a proposition stirs up." Lieutenant McCorrnick told of several re volting cruelties and murders perpetrated by Filipinos which came under his observa tion. He said: "Do you note the testimony taken by the Senate committee? It was well that Senator Heverldge brought out the fact that ne witness had been refused certification to the regular army because of drunkenness. I met in this city a man wrho served in the Fourth United States Infantry who expects to be called by the Senate committee. I aked him if he bad seen any cruelties. He replied that he had aen some things, but he added that he de sired to get after two or three nthVers who had not used him as they should. The whole thing is a dirty conspiracy to blacken the reputation of American ot'icers." NEW INCORPORATIONS. A Ntt Mining Concern nnti a Neve .Mannfnetnrlne Company Here.

Contractor Claim that There I 3Inch Les Iluiltltn In View This Year thnn I.aat. For the first time in the history of In dianapolis the general contractors and car penters yesterday afternoon held an open conference in discussing their wage scale. The open meeting was the result of the re quest of members of Carpenters' Union to admit representatives of newspapers. They asked that they be given admission in or der that both sides of the question might be reported to the public, as it is as much interested In the settlement of the scale as members of the two organizations. The Joint conference committee was composed of J. E. Shover, Oeorge W. Stanley, Ed Craig, AI Von Spreckelsen and Louis C. Rrandt, representing the contractors, and Charles Newman, D. Z. McClure, Herman Longere. Harry Armstead and W. O. Sulli van, of the carpenters. The meeting was held in Mr. Shover's office on North Ala bama street. At first the contractors did not take kind ly to an open meeting. D. Z. McClure moved that reporters be admitted. In sup port of his motion he said the newspapers would send reporters to gather news of the strike and would see various members of both organizations,' with the result that each paper had a different report contain ing prejudicial information given out in favor of one or the other's organization. He said all labor conferences are now be ginning to open to the newspapers, and that It gave a dignity to the meetings to have the proceedings reported in the news papers. The argument could then be given to the public, he said, In an unbiased man ner and the public would receive such in formation as it desired. He said the car penters had nothing on their side which they wished to conceal, and that as the question so vitally affected the public he thought the contractors should take the same view. SOME OPPOSITION. George W. Stanley, chairman of the Joint committee, said the contractors .had noth ing they wished to conceal, but that the differences were so "insignificant" that he did not think it was necessary to have a detailed renort of the proceedings. J. E. Shover said he was not averse to allowing the reporters to remain. When the ques tion was put the carpenters all voted for an open meeting and the contractors did not vote. Chairman Stanley submitted a compro mise proposition, offering a minimum scale of 35 cents an hour. The first proposition coming from the contractors' association was a maximum scale of 3T cents. Their concession was to change the offer from a maximum to a minimum scale. Mr. Stan ley made the principal argument for the contractors. He said the price of all build ing material had advanced, so that in vestors were timid and there is little build ing being done. He based his argument on the number of building permits issued Monday, which, he said, was an average day. "I believe that there are about 1.SO0 carpenters in the city," ?aid he, "and at the rate building permits were Issued yes terday all of this work could be done by all of the carpenters in the city in about one third of a day, leaving them idle the re maining two-thirds of the day." He said a minimum scale of 3TVa eents asked by the carpenters would mean that the contractors would have to pay all the way from 45 to 50 cents an hour tor expert workmen. He said only about 25 per cent, of the union members are competent workmen, and the remaining 73 per cent, are incapable of earning the wage scale asked. D. '.. McClure took the stand for the carpenters In behalf of thfir demand by comparing the wage scale of other mechan ics with that of the carpenters. He said the brick masons receive 50 cents an hour, stone masons 45 cents an hour, plasterers 45 cents an hour, painters 35 cents an hour, steam fitters $.1.5o a day. electrical work ers 30 cents' an hour, and that structural iron workers would demand 40 cents an hour on May 1. He said many of the elec trical workers learned their trade in train ing schools, and that after Oct. 1 their scale would be the same 'pay for eieht hours, which would make their scale about cents an hour. All the trades men tioned, be said, bad to lay out only a few dollars for tools, while the carpenters had to expend all the way from $. to $75 for a kit of tools and keep them up besides. He said if the carpenters wete given work eight months in the year their wages would average about $2 a day. and under the present scale they average but Jl.73. He said this was hardly surlicient for a man to pay car fare, send his children to school and keen his wife away from the wash- tub. He admitted that all members of the union are not first-class workmen, but he said it was necessary to establish a minimum scale. Otherwise, he said. hc grading process would be employed and poor workmen would be found working at reduced wages, ami the good workmen, unless they would take the lowest scale, would be found walking the streets. A SSOC I ATI ON TOW E REES S. J. E. Shover said that the association had instructed the committee to submit the proposition and that it was powerless to grant anything. He said he had been un able to do much contracting on account of poor health this spring and did not know so much about the status of building. He said he had bid on but on .contract. W. O. Sullivan, of the carpenters, said there were many plans lying on the shelf in architects' offices and that the contrac tors had a prearranged plan to not bid on any specifications until the wage scale was settled in order that work would not be stopped. He said Mr. Shover had stated at the last meeting that he had been beaten out of thousands of dollars' worth of work by nonutdon contractors and he asked him how it was that he now said he had not bid on work. Mr. Shover replied that it was last year that he was beaten out of contracts. Sullivan said there was one thing he wanted the contractors to under standthat there would be no dealing in dividually with the m?n. He was asked if William P. Jungclaus had not dealt in dividually with his men, and Sullivan said he had not; that he dealt with the com mittee and the business agent. Ed Craig, contractor, said the building permits this year were IHW.O" short of last year. Sullivan said that if the specifica tions were removed from the architects' shelves the permits would exceed those of last year by that amount. George W. Stanley raid he did not know of any "prearranged" plan whereby the contractors were to make no bids, and sev eral of the contractors sr.ld they had vis ited architects and that they had done nothing this year. At the conclusion of the conference the carpenters said they would make one con cession, they would strike out the clause asking for pay at the Job and allow the contractors to pay at the office or Job. Mr. Stanley aid: "Thank you; that is a very liberal concession." The meeting then ad journed. The carpenters' committee immediately reported to the union, and it was voted to reject the compromise offer of the contrac tors and stsnd bv their demand for 37'i cents an hour. Thu officers of the union ay that nearly three-fourths of their men are now at work at the new scale and tlicy will not recede. DUE TO HIGH WIND. Two Peron Have Xnrrow Ecnpofi from Falling Gins. Two peculiar accidents due to the high wind were reported yesterday. The first was one in which Mrs. August A. Urtewicz, of 1ST.3 Union street, had a. miraculous es cape from being lacerated by a falling pane of Klas. A large pane of plass fell from the fifth Ptory of the Vonneut Hardware Company's building, on Washington street, and struck Mr?. ITrlewiez on the head. Luckily the pane sailed through the air and struck her head flatwise, creating a shower of glas around her. Mrs. Urie wicz was stunned, but not cut. Had the plars fallen edgewise it undoubtedly would have caused her death. She was taken to the City Dispensary And revived. The other accident befell Bailiff Charles Dawson, of Police Court. While Fitting at his desk a large window in the police sta tion was blown out, and the fragments of the window fell around him. He, too. es caped injury, although his de?k was badly scarred.

Woninn Crolngr Narrow Uridine with Her Hnnhnnd In Seriously llnrt. The high wind which raged yesterday came near causing the death of a woman. Mrs. Shearer, living at 612 West Tenth street, was crossing the aqueduct over Fall creek with her husband about 5 o'clock in the afternoon. When the pair had got in the middle of the narrow bridge they met three men coming in the opposite di rection. Mr. and Mrs. Shearer stepped aside to allow the men to pass. There was a very strong wind from the west, and as the country at that place is open there was no obstruction to break its force. Mrs. Shearer stepped slightly to the rear of her husband, and as she did so a gust of wind caught her and whirled her into the canal. Her husband was saved by grabbing an iron rod. Mrs. Shearer fell into the water, but as the canal there is in a trough it is not deep. Shearer, with the assistance of the other three men, quickly pulled Mrs. Shearer out. She was taken to her home and Dr. Templeton called. He found that one hip was fractured and one leg badly bruised. STATEHOUSE PLUMBING. The Contract I Secured hy Freaney Uro., of Thl City. Samuel R. Shutt, engineer of the State house, yesterday awarded the contract for the plumbing of the building to Freaney Rrothers, of this city, whose bid was $tJ.12S. There were nine bidders, and the prices ranged from JS.ooO to the lowest, by Freaney Rrothers. The contract calls for new walls and floors in the closets and in the wash rooms. All the woodwork now in these parts of the building will be torn out and replaced by marble slabs. The other con tractors and their bids were: Frank L. West. $,7:0; Kirkoff Rrothers. JG.SL'l: Ed ward Strong, J,7); Herman Goth, $f,47; C. C. Shipp. of Shelbyville, $'.775; George Riser. $7.::'5; D. S. Farrell, Jf,?lJ; C. W. Meikcl. J''..Ks- FIGHTING THE WOLVES. Dispatches in the daily press give a brief, but thrilling description of how a Western man fought a pack of wolves to save his wife, though the story dwelt more upon the peril of the woman than the courage of the man. This is natural, for it is a part of a man's duty to stand between his wife and peril. It is to be expected that if he sees her in danger he will hasten to her rescue. Yet. curiously enough, the man who will rush into a burning building at his wife's cry for help, or face a horde of wolves in her defense, will neglect to protect her from nt-ed in case of his sudden death, something ho can easily accomplish by the simple purchase of a life insurance policy at a small yearly cost. This neglect is not that the husband is unsympathetic or care less, but because h rarely stops to consider what his loss would mean to his family. o- if he does he procrastinates, thinking that next year or next month he will surely attend to this important matter. Then, with no warning whatever, the end comes and the wolves are at the door, and all because the hasband failed to take the precaution he owed to those he loved.

HIGH WIND HELPED FLAMES CHIEF COOTS CALLED FOR MORE AID IN SHORT ORDER. The Tolnl Los 1VI1I Reach Into the Thousand A Police Tntrol Established. Fire that threatened the destruction of the entire northeastern portion of the city started in a barn in the rear of Charles Kinander's saloon, corner of Seventeenth street and the Lake Erie & Western tracks, shortly before 5 o'clock yesterday after noon. A number of homes were laid waste by the flames and the losses will aggregate thousands of dollars. How the fire originated is a mystery. Einander, the saloon keeper, was in his saloon when a man ran into his place and told him that his stable was burning. Einander had a valuable horse in the barn and ran to rescue it. The flames grew so rapidly that the man and animal were soon under a sheet of flame. The horse became unmanageable and kicked Einander. He fell on the barn floor and it required all of his remaining strength to creep from the burning barn. The horse perished. When the first companies began to arrive they saw the embers from the barn being carried far Into the northeast by the wind, which was blowing a gale from the south west. The flames next communicated to a barn in the rear of the residence of Rert Dawson. 1710 Alvord street, and more fire brands began flying through the air. The Dawson barn was reduced to ashes in a few minutes, and then the fire assumed its most dangerous aspect. CALLED FOR MORE HELP. While the firemen were fighting the burn ing barns the embers ignited the roof of the house of Herbert Green, colored, 1714 Alvord street. The firemen were Joined now by Chief Coots and he telephoned for more companies. Five additional compa nies appeared and they were soon in serv ice, but unable to cope with the onward march of th fire. Adjoining the Green residence is the home of Frtd Meyerose, sr., 171C Alvord street. The flames from the house occupied by Green swept into the roof of the Meyerose house and damaged it $5on. The Green house is owned by Fred Meyerose, Jr. In surance tc the amount of Jl.noo is held by the Meyeroses. When the Meyerose home began burning Chief Coots saw the immense Eaglesfield planing mill and lumber yard at Alvord and Nineteenth streets endangered. He called for four more companies at once. By a mere stroke of good fortune the flames leaped across the street from the Eagles field mill and took tenements for their prey. Had the Eaglesfield mill caught the firemen Would have been completely baffled, as the fire would have swept low into the street and would have cut off their hose connections. The northeastern end of the city, with its thousands of frame cottages, would have been laid desolate by the flames. From the Meyerose home the fire Jumped Alvord street and took the home of Henry Rudd. 1711 Alvord street, for its prey. This Is directly opposite the Eaglesfield mill and lumber yard, which covers almost an en tire block. Adjoining the Rudd home is a double tenement occupied by the families of John Gall and James Meyer. The Rudd home and the double tenement were gutted. The Rudd home Is owned bv John L. Ba con. The loss on it will be $700. The Gall Meyer tenement loss is estimated at JSflO. The families saved a portion of their house hold effects. Firebrands carried from the Gall-Meyer tenement swept over a dosen other frame tenements and set fire to a barn in the rear of the home of Remus Moore, 1931 Alvord street. This was two blocks from the place where the fire originated. The Moore barn was burned quickly and communicated to sheds in the rear of the residences of Caesar Hardy. 1H35 Alvord street, and Mrs. Annie Brown, i:37 Alvord street. Here a tint of humor appeared in the waste. Among the ; losses Mrs. Rrown placed two setting hns in wnicn sne nad placed great hone for spring fries, and she was unable to estimate her loss. ACROSS THE ALLEY. Across the alley are sheds tn the rear of the residences of Lafayette Miller, 1938 Yandes street; "Warren Cobb, J 32 Yandes street, and Fred Kuhn, 1940 Yandes street. Kuhn had a small blacksmith shop In one of the sheds and his loss on tools will amount to $250. The losses on the sheds will aggregate 55X). From the burning sheds the wind carried embers to the home of E. J. Young, 2043 Yandes street, in the next block. The fire men were fighting the embers at close range now and they quickly had the Young fire under control. The loss hero was trivial. While the firemen were working on the sheds the embers ignited the roof of the home of Charles Ayres, 2oy Yandes street. Mrs. Ayres procured a ladder and. with the assistance of a little boy. fought the flames and saved her home. The house of Luke Wood. 2011 Yflndes street, was also slight ly damaged. In this district the fire spent its force and at 6 o'clock all companies were ordered back to their quarters. The work of volunteers served to keep down the losses very largely. Ladders that had not been used in years were brought out and homes were saved by bucket brigades. Within a radius of six blocks the residents moved their furniture into the street. The fire corps of the Atlas engine works, which adjoins the burnt dis trict on the east, was ordered out to help the city firemen and did good work. Iast idght the police guarded the effecfp saved from the burned homes. An all-night patrol was established by Superintendent Taffe. Three House Damaged. Fire of unknown origin wrecked the home of William Grim. 1336 Olive street, yester day afternoon. The flames communicated to the homes of Carl Metzger and J. Whet stein, adjoining the Grim home, and caused considerable damage. The loss on the Grim home is estimated at $1.2X. The Metzger loss will be J,X) and Whetstein's about $00. City Dump on Fire. The city dump at Eleventh street and White river caught fire at 9 o'clock last night and caused the firemen to take a long drive in a rainstorm. A number of com panies were sent out. but the rain did the work that had been given the firemen to do. Farmer Home Destroyed. A defective kitchen flue is said to have been responsible for the destruction of the home of D. M. Morgan, former trustee of Perry township, yesterday morning. The house Is situated on the Greenwood line five milts south of the city. Pnrlor Draperie! Itarned. A gas Jet in the home of MaJ. W. J. Richards, 1531 North Pennsylvania street, set fire to the draperies in one of the par lors last night, and the fire department was called. The loss on furnishings is estimated at (iavi OrYenae to "Women. George T. Miller, giving Pittsburg as his place of residence, was arrested yesterday afternoon by Sergeant Schwab on a charge of assault and battery and offending people on the stiet. Miller is said to have ac- rosted a Mrs. Schneider, living on West Morris street, at the Union Station. The woman Flapped Miller foe his Insolence and then complained to the police. The same charge was placed against Joe Xorake, a Greek, living at 70K Marmon street. He was arrested by Bleyclemen Simon and Morgan for being offensive on the street. DELEGATES SELECTED. .Marion County Fhyslcinn AVho Will Attend State Society Meeting. The Marion County Medical Society mat last night and selected delegates to attnd the meeting of the state society, which will be held at Evansville May 22 and 23. The delegates chosen are: Doctors Oliver, Clark, Wilson, Dunning, Cook. White, Graham, Stilson. Kyle, Scott. Erlap. Kahlo. Cole. Cline, W. M. WIshard, Bannhill. C. E. Fer guson, Moffett, Charlton, Scherer, Morrison, Burkhart,. Pantzer, John Wishard, Pfaff.in. Totter, Wynn. C. E. Wright, Ross, East man, Nehrbas. Pfaff, Little, Alexander, Rrayton and Noble. Dr. J. H. Oliver was selected a member of the nominating committee. The address before the society last night was made by Dr. J. G. Nehrbas. on "Mydriatic and Me chanic Therapeutics." The leaders in the discussion were Doctors S. P. Soberer and J. Kolmer. With this year the new plan of organi zation of the American Medical Association goes into effect. The national organization as now constituted is made up of the state and territorial medical societies, the so city of the District of Columbia and the medical corps of the army, navy and Ma rine Hospital Service. The state and terri torial societies are made up of their county societies. Membership in the state society and medical association originates In the J county society; thus the American Medical Association Decomes siriciiy lepieaemn tlve body of the American medical profes sion. Members of the county society have the privileges of the national organization. The scientific proceedings of the American Association are participated in by all mom bers present, but the general and legislative business is committed to a house of dele gates, about 150 In number. These dele gates are selected by the various state and other constituent societies. At the Evans ville meeting of the state society four In diana members of this house of delegates will be chosen. This plan of organization of the American Mdicai Association is largely a copy of that under which the Indiana State Medical Society has long been working. ORDER OF EASTERN STAR.

It la Said Ho ReloiiRed to the Hoyt Gang nf RarRlars. Frank Mayer, living at 320 West Mc carty street, was slated at the police sta tion, last night, by Detectives Colbert, Hauser, Dugan and JJanning on a charge of grand larceny and burglary. Mayer was connected with the notorious Hoyt gang of burglars arrested a week ago. Mayer 13 an aristocratic burglar. When the Hoyt gang robbed the S. Rlnzer store, on West Washington street, they secured two small savings banks that, Rinzer says, contained $75. The boys say the banks con tained $27. While the rest of the pang was looking for diamonds and other high-priced booty Mayer was looking at Binzcr's stock of patent leather shoes. He finally secured a pair to fit him and carried them away. Mayer was wearing the shoes when ar rested, and in his confession told the de tectives that he wanted to look decent. AN INSANE PATIENT.

When the policemen arrived they found the attendants almost exhausted and it re quired the combined strength of the oftieers and attendants to accomplish their purpose. During the struggle the insane man caught hold of a revolver belonging to one of the officers and he instantly placed it against Bicycleman Stre t's abdomen Streit saw the move and quickly regained control of the weapon.
