AN OFFER TO CANTRELL
BE SAYS A MAX WAMS HIM TO
LEAVE THE CITY.
Offer of n Bond If He Would Quit
Indianapolis Detectives Will Con
tlnoe Their Work.
Rufus Cantrell yesterday, In talking to
sis attorney, Cass Connoway, said he had
been approached by a prominent attorney
who agreed to furnish him bond if he would
leave the city. Cantrell said he would
not accept bond unless it was also fur
fllshed for the other negro ghouls. He
said it would not be right to disclose the
name of the man who made the offer, as
It was done in confidence. Cantrell said
be thinks he is not being treated right by
the authorities in regard to his bond. He
thinks It should be made lower, as he has
tod everything he knows and the detec
tives and prosecutors have profited by it in
arresting the other white ghouls. He aaid
be would not close his mouth now, as he
baa firmly made up his mind to tell every
thing and Incriminate everyone who has
bad anything to do with the stealing of
bodies.
Cass Connoway. Cantrell's attorney, said
yesterday when he heard of the offer made
to hit client, that Cantrell, although a
negro ghoul, had yet some principles that
would not allow him to accept the offer
made by the attorney. "Cantrell," he
dp. id. "could not be induced to leave the
city at this time, even If he were let out
a bond." He said that from what Can
trell has told him In confidence the in
vestigation is not yet one-third through.
There are many yet to be arrested, he
said, and some of them are men prominent
In the medical profession.

Of grave robbing against each man.

SCHOOL BOARDS OF STATE
THE FIRST CONVENTION A SICCESS
Ol EVERY WAY.
An Amendment Favored by Cans. W.
Moore, of This City School Su
perintendents Adjonrn.
The first annual meeting of the State As
sociation of School Boards was concluded
in the Statehouse yesterday. The meet
ing was a success in every particular and
the next annual meeting will be held In
November of 1903. The following officer?
were elected for the ensuing year: Presi
dent, W. H. Anderson, Wabash; first vice
president, A. C. Huber, East Chicago; sec
ond vice president, S. B. Lowe, Bedford;
third vice president. Clem Pelzer, Boon
llle; fourth vice president, Allan Ham
ilton. Fort Wayne; fifth vice president,
Charles W. Moores, Indianapolls; secretary,
J. W. Ratcliflf, West Tcrre Haute; treas
urer, the Rev. Wilson Blackburn, Mount
Vernon; executive committee, A. M. Swee
ney, Indianapolis; W. C. Chaffee, Hunting
ton; B. F. Bennett, Qreensburg.
The address of Charles W. Moores was
the principal thing before the meeting yes
terday. Mr. Moores made a sharp arraign
ment of the Indiana school system and
proposed several changes in the laws. He
said that most schoolhouses in Indiana
are poorly heated, lighted and ventilated.
He said poor conditions exist in the cross
road schoolhouses and in larger cities. He
said the day of manual training in the
wood has gone and soon the children of
those who had the benefit of it must do
without or look for its substitute in the
schoolroom.
Mr. Moores advocated an amendment to
the Indiana school laws to end what he
called the present legalized favoritism in
the distribution of the school tax. Mr.
Moores said that Marion county paid into
the State tax from $30,000 to 150.000 more
a year than she drew out to assist in
maintenance of her schools. He said he
believed a community ought to have the
right to levy all the tax It can afford upon
its own property to support its own schools,
but it ought not to have to make any levy
upon its own property for the support of
schools in other municipalities. Mr. Moores
called attention to the padded enumera
tions In some parts of the State, where
officials make returns showing more school
children than there are in their districts, so
they may, in the per capitr. uistribution,
steal from the State school revenues to
keep down the local levy. To overcome
these inequalities Mr. Moores suggested
the following plan: "Wipe out all of the
State levy except a small tax to swell the
common school fund; give to each munici
pality power to levy whatever Its own
schools need, and take away or greatly
curtail the power to borrow." He also sug
gested the need for new liquor legislation.
He said present unlicensed dealers should
be compelled to pay a license.
Mr. Moores said teachers should be bet
ter paid, school terms in rural districts
should be longer and schools should be
better equipped.

SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENTS.
A Committee Named to Work for a
New Normal School.
The Town and City School Superintend
ents' Association concluded its annual
meeting at the Statehouse yesterday. Next
year's meeting will be held In Indianapolis
at such time as is set by the executive
committee. The principal business at the
closing session was the report of the com
mittee selected to examine into the feasi
bility of establishing another State Normal
school. The committee reported favorably,
but the place for Its location was not men
tioned. The report was adopted, but not
unanimously.
The committee, composed of J. W. Carr.
C. M. McDaniel and R. A. Ogg, was re
appointed as a special legislative commit
tee to present the matter before the next
Legislature.
R. A. Ogg, superintendent of the Kokomo
city schools, spoke of his stand on the
vaccination question. He explained that
personally he was In favor of vaccination,
but that he did not believe a child should
be kept out of the schools because its
parents were opposed to vaccination. He
urged that a bill should be Introduced that
would limit the absolute authority of op
pression of health boards that might be
wise or otherwise.

CENTRAL-AVENUE CHURCH.
Remlnlseenees of Early Days Related
by Old Members.

Methodist Episcopal Church,
presided at a prayer and praise service held
there last night, in the celebration of the
twenty-fifth anniversary of the church.

other old members of the church related
reminiscences of its earlier days, and of

laeorred Enmity of His Pals.
Sheriff Bradley and Marshal Hill, of
Frankfort, left last night at 7 o'clock for
their home, taking with them Harry Fisher,
colored, John ("Crip") Reed and Maley
Hayes. three boys of this city who are
charged with robbing several stores In
Frankfort. The boys, while seated in the
detectives' office, admitted therr guilt.
Fisher began by telling what he knew of
the robberies, and in so doing incurred the
anger of the other two. A war of words
followed, and it took the efforts of Captain
Gerber and the two Frankfort officers to
quell the disturbance. The boys belong to
an organised gang of thieves of this city.
Mr. Sherrick's Appointments.
State Auditor-elect Sherrlck has definitely
selected the subordinates for the office dur
ing his term and there will be no change
unless one or two who have the matter
under consideration should decline. Hav
ing so far settled the matter it will be
useless to urge appointments by petitions,
letters or personal Interviews. Those who
have been informed of Mr. Sherrick's se
lections assert that they are first-class men.
It is understood that the present Incum
bents have been requested to serve until
the close of the session ot tne Legislature.

MRS. M 'Ml' RR AY WASTED TO COL
LECT nStRA.ME.
Succession of Incendiary Fires Traced
to Her by Arrest Last Might
She Confesses.
Several times the fire department has
been called to extinguish small fires at the
home of Mrs. Jefferson McMurray, colored,
lnl5 Broadway. On the occasion of the first
fire, about one month ago, the firemen de
tected the odor of kerosene. Their suspi
cions were aroused, and they reported the
matter to the police. Other tires at the
same place brought the firemen, and each
time the odor of kerosene was prominent
about the little house. The third and
fourth times the department was called
several of the firemen noticed charred
pieces of newspaper lying In the yard near
where the fire started. There was no doubt
In their minds that efforts had been made
to set Mrs. McMurray's house on fire. It
was said by some that the woman's hus
band, Jefferson McMurray, who is sepa
rated from his wife and boarding at HI
West Eleventh street, was responsible.
The residents in the locality f Tenth and
Broadway had become alarmed. They
asked the police department to keep watch.
It was said by some that McMurray often
came in the neighborhood after dark, and,
while not going to his wife's house, would
walk through the alley In the rear, and also
walk on Broadway opposite the front of
the house.
The matter was cleared up last night,
shortly after 7 o'clock, when another fire
was discovered at the McMurray home.
The firemen, after extinguishing the slight
fire, made an investigation. On their ar
rival a small blaze was seen in the middle
of one of the rooms. After breaking In the
rear door the odor of kerosene was again
detected. The fire consisted of a pile of
newspapers in the middle of the second
room. It was quickly put out. The firemen
found that the front and rear doors had
been nailed tight. Patrolmen Condell and
Jordan, who arrived at the place shortly
after roll call, were apprised of the case.
They sought Mrs. McMurray, who had just
returned home. She was questioned about
the burning of the place, and at first de
nied it. Her husband was also found
Both were arrested on the charge of arson.
Mrs. McMurray. after arriving at the po
lice station, admitted that she tried sev
eral times to burn her hme. She said that
she had the house and furniture Insured
for $30ii. and it was to get this money that
sh tried to burn the place. The hous- is
a small one-story frame structure, just
south of Allen Chapel.

GRAND WARDEN CONTEST
EDWAED K ARR AR, OF Rl SHVILLE.
WIM THE FIGHT.
An Important Change Made In the
Laws of the Cirand Lodge Nam
ing of the Officers.
The Grand Lodge, I. O. O. F., adjourned
yesterday afternoon after a lively session
in which Ed Farrer. of Rushville. won the
contest for the office of grand warden.
Karri's leading opponent was R. H. Holly
wood, of Indianapolis.
On the first ballot there were twenty-one
candidates and Hollywood led by a sub
stantial number. However, several of the
candidates dropped out on the second ballot
and Farrer received enough votes to tie
him with the Indianapolis man. The third
ballot was thrown out because of alleged
stuffing of the ballot box, and on the
fourth Farrer was declared the winner.
Considerable time was consumed with
each ballot, It requiring several minutes to
collect the thousand odd ballots and still
longer to count them, but instead of wait
ing in idleness the Grand Lodge filled in
the intervals with the consideration of
routine business, disposing of a number of
committee reports.
The session was opened at 9 o'clock In
the forenoon and reports of committees
was the first order of business. In this line
one important change was made in the gen
eral laws of the Grand Lodge. This was a
provision that any Odd Fellow who was
convicted of running a saloon, or owning
a saloon, or acting as bartender, should be
expelled. The Sovereign Grand Lodge had
had this law on Its records for several
years, but the Grand Lodge of Indiana has
never had it and some little trouble has re
sulted because of the omission.
Another important law adopted was one
to the effect that a candidate must present
himself for Initiation within six months
after being elected to membership, other
wise he will forfeit his rights. In line with
Secretary Leedy's warning that the Grand
Lodge was paying sick benefits, etc., out oi
proportion to its resources, and that if
the policy were continued it might result
disastrously, it was ordered that a member
in order to receive nurses and watchers in
sickness at the expense of the order must
have his dues all paid and be in good
standing. Heretofore a member could se
cure these attentions no matter how much
he was delinquent.
A committee on necrology was appointed
to prepare accurate obituaries of deceased
officers of the Grand Lodge at the earliest
post-ible date after death.
The Grand Lodge voted to refuse an offer
of $275.000 for the lot and building owned
by the order at Pennsylvania and Wash
ington streets. It is understood that the
ofier was made by a company of Indianap
olis capitalists, although It is not known
who were in the company. The Grand
Lodge will sell its property, but It wants
at least $300,000 for it.
In addition to Grand Warden Farrer,
other officers were elected as follows: E. E.
Pryor, Martinsville, grand master; Alex
ander Johnson. Fort Wayne, deputy grand
master; W. H. Leedy, Indianapolis, grand
secretary; W. A. Morris, Frankfort, grand
treasurer; W. A. Bornwasser, New Albany,
grand representative; E. G. Hogate, grand
trustee.
The following appointive officers were
named: Grand chaplain. Isaac W. Singer,
Anderson; grand instructor, W. H. Tal
bott, Orleans; grand marshal, Hurry C.
Hay. Shelbyvllle; grand conductor, John H.
Jones, Martinsville; grand guardian, H. M.
Kean, Jasper; assistant grand guardian,
H. V. Dunkin. Spencer; assistant grand
herald. A. B. Hodlock. Logansport.
The following committee from the Grand
Lodge attended the funeral of Past Grand
Master Binkley at Bichmond during the
day: George L. Bhlnehart, E. G. Hogate,
T. R. Jessup and M. A. Chlpman.
Appreciates the Honor.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
RUSHVILLE, Ind., Nov. 20. Edwin Far
rer, who was elected grand warden by the
Indiana Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows in
Indianapolis to-day. is editor of the
St.ir-Graphic, of this city, and is one of
Rushville's most prominent and popular
men. A movement is under way for a
suitable expression of the city's apprecia
tion of the honor brought to it in Mr. Far
rer's election.
PLYMOUTH CHURCH MEETING.
Site for a w Building; May Be Se
lected Mondny Night.
An annual meeting of Plymouth Church,
which Is temporarily holding services in the
Jewish Temple, corner of Delaware and
Tenth streets, was held last evening. The
meeting was for the purpose of hearing a
report of the committee regarding a site
on which to erect a building, and also to
choose officers for the ensuing year. The
annual meeting at which the reports of
the financial standing of the church will
be made will be held early In January.
The committee to investigate sites for a
new church is composed of Mrs. John B.
Elam, chairman, and Albert Babb, David
A. Myers, Frank M. Fauvre, Frank M.
Blanchard, Frank M. Flanner and Henry
H. Fay. Two lots were reported on, one
of which will likely be chosen at a meeting
of the congregation of the church next
Monday night. The sites which the com
mittee referred to the members of the
church for consideration are the Porter
property on East Michigan street, between
Delaware and Alabama, and the property
of Granville Ballard. 539 North Meridian
str-et. The one most desirable is not
known, and the price of each is kept a
secret by those In charge of the matter.
The Porter property is Gu by 120 and the
Ballard lot is t0 by 130. Either would be a
good location for a church. The former
Is surrounded by streets and alleys, while
the other property is in a good location
and would make a desirable church lot.
The whole congregation will meet next
Monday night and vote on the two sites.
All of the old officers of the church were
re-elected as follows: Henry H. Fay, clerk;
Edwin F. Hill, treasurer, and Henry M.
Stackhouse and David A. Myers, deacons.
The trustees elected are F. W. Flanner
and F. M. Fauvre. The former takes the
place of Charles S. Lewis.
The committee on church work, which
Is a sort of executive committee, was se
lected and Is made up of the following
members: Mrs. M. A. Allerdlce, Robert W.
Hobbs. William C. Koehne. Mrs. O. S. Run
nells. Dr. C. B. McCullough. William A.
Bell, Mrs. Samuel Denny, Miss Augusta
Paver. Charles P. Doney and Mrs. George

to pay on a church lot.

is that the Peggt originally came from
England, and were among the earliest
settlers of Philadelphia. Daniel Pegg. it is
said, obtained possession of over 900 acres
on which the principal business portion of
the city is now situated. In 1793 or 17V4,
It Is said by some of the heirs, he leased
his land, which had then dwindled to 350
acres, to the city for a period of 99 years.
Daniel Pegg. it is said, died a bachelor,
but William and another brother married,
and the heirs who gathered here yesterday
are their descendants. A number of the
Peggs reside in Randolph county, this
State, but there are members of the family
in several other counties.

Drama Ends in Marriage.
Laura Luella Lenentine and Benjamin
Padrick procured a marriage license yes
terday. Miss Lenentine is known in the
city as Lucy Leslie, and her fame comes
from her leading part in the production of
"A Pipe Dream." which was unsuccessful
and stranded recently. Mr. Padrick was
also a member of the cast and his lines In
the farce, particularly those of love to the
leading lady. Miss Ienentine, began a
courtship which lasted through the short
tour of the organization and ended with
their marriage last night.
An amusing incident occurred while Sam
Shank, a deputy clerk, whose specialty is
the records of Room 2 of the Superior
Court, tried to issue a license to Padrick.

procedure of issuing marriage licenses and
tried to record the license in the book pre
