Ha aald Gate wanted to take a one fourth interest in the romj.any and waa wllHng to put tha money in. 11a said there waa no aug geation that be knew of that Gates ahould be jaii a salary, of (3.aj a year or any nei amouuL Furnas did not ear In bis hearing, aald. that he would rather pay Oatea a fixed amount.

He said he could not do that anJ lKk Ptuckmayer In tha facf. He said he and Furnas would have kept Ptuckrn)er with hem If they ha. got the contract thla year. Thought Gates waa in Company. Fuehring aald that when the Marion County Construction Company bid on and got the contract thla year he suspected that Gatea waa in the company.

Fuehrtng had sold his equipment to George Belbert. who bid for tha Marlon County Construction Company. Whan he asked Belbert for hta money, Hubert told him to wait until the neat Friday at 8 o'clock, when hla "moneyed man would be home. Just to see If his suspicion was correct. Fuehring had Furnas call up Harry Gatea.

He got the reply that Gatea waa out of tha lty, and wofald be borne the neat Friday at o'clock. Mr. Noel got from the wltneaa a maaa of matertul relating to the method of letting sweeping contracts In tha paat. the amount of work that can be dona by on st agon, tit prices In each year, etc. Thla Information, he aald.

he propoa ed to use later on. Mr. Fuehrtng aald that In IKS Oraree and Jouea got the contract away from htm and Furnas by underbidding them, but In 1K9 he and Furoe got It back. He aid be always felt that the Tasrgart administration made a mistake In letting them hava the contract that year, for they were practically fined out of the bual 'Tagxart wanted Graves and Jones to have the contract, ha aald. He aatd the nea in were asseased notwithstanding tha fact that.

In that year tha city got the bt sweeping it has eret had before or since. He and Furuaa loat mouey that jrear. LetxStuckmeyr Bid It In. In 19n0 and he and Furnas got the contract by letting. Charlee Btuckmeyer.

a friend of the administration, bid It in. They were not afraid of heavy fines while Ptuckmeyer held the contract. 1 The arrangement with Btuckmeyer was that ha waa to bid In the if he could gat It at lVcenta. and Fur naa and Fuehrtng would do the work for IT cents, giving Stuckmeyer profit of av cent and a quarter. Stuckmeyera profit from thla ouroe.

No objection waa raised to any question. Before the opening of I the session the committee and the attorneys talked informally of tha scop of the investigation.

Noel aaid th committee being a standing committee on investigation and Impeachment, had the power to Investigate anything It wished without special Instruction from the. Council. He aatd that later on he expected to go into aome matters that had nothing hatever to do with Iogadon. The committee will meet again next Monday night. COLLECTED ON RAINY DAYS.

It Appears that Contractor Were Paid rfor Day Men All Season. The record In the Board of Works office ahow that certain sweeping contractors collected pay from the city for day laborer and tea ma practically every day during the aweeptng season. This necessarily shows that the city' paid for day I men on rainy days as on ah other. From one to four men were always paid for on Sunday. the explanation being that these, men were employed ia the streets about tha market house, aa market closed too late on Saturday nights to allow the to be cleaned before it ON THE RIVER ANY That canoeing la a coming fad.

The flats of fashion fix the fade and in some mysterious manner fha canoeing fad ha slipped in. In many part of the country (and it 1 not Improbable that Indianapolis wllf follow suit), canoeing Is dividing the honors with golf as a leading outdoor sport with both aexea. This water sport has developed Into craze among the member of the Canoe Club, whose home, a structure of architectural beauty, lies opposite the main entrance to Riverside Park.

Easy of and with a stretch of water which abounds in fine scenery for many miles, this club is taking Its place among, the foremost country clubs of the country. The demand for canoe is smother Indication of the popularity of the pleasant sport of canoeing. A floating covered dock used as a canoe house with facilities for fifty canoe, was found inadequate, and this week the club launched another dock coating SI. 100 with facilities for 100 more canoes. Nearly all the spaces have been asked for, showing that the club's fleet this year will exceed 100 canoes, in addl Sunday.

This same system prevail un Qon to several launches and row boats der the Marlon County Construction Company's contract. The record ahow that Stuckmtyer collected for day labor era as follows: March. 4 days: April. 29 days; May. 51 tSaya; June, 90 days: July.

Women Are Interested. This sport among women la encouraged by the club. Already the women are taking part in the discussions over the respective merits of the canvas and cedar canoes, the difference between the decked and open canoes, ami the double and single paddles. Canoeing' especially appeals to women, because they are able' to present an attractive appearance when dressed appropriately for the pastime. If she can learn to get Into a canoe gracefully and handle a paddle adlen tlficaMy sho Is the master of the sport.

She acquires an ease while mastering these requisites. The sport is a safe lone as It ha been shown that all accldients have been due to gross or recklessness. Canoeing is within reach of the city home and the person who enjoys indulgence in this pastime can usually find an hour or two every day during. the warm monua taae vp me sport. The type of the canoe that Is most popular, where It is a question of its use by women, although ther Is a tendency to ttii; na distinction between the caoo I uss by women and that by men.

Islands, varying la else from a few feet to several acres, mark the rlyer'a surface. High bluff at different points mark its course. The roost delightful canoe excursion 'Indulged In by members cf the club is a trip to Broad Ripple and The.

up trip Is made by way of the canal. Canoes are carried from the river to the canal at the Golden Hill springs, a distance of a few "block north of the clubhouse. At this point th river and canal are not more than fifty feet apart. At Broad Ripple the canoe are carried from the canal into the river, and 7 the delightful trip down the winding stream follows. No more beautiful trio can be found than this one.

The round trip requires about five hours. Canoeing has made the Canoe Club a success. The club owns, free of Incumbrance, one of the finest country clubhouses In the "West. The structure cost about (10,000, and with the bathhouses and boathouse. the property is estimated to be worth S3.000 In excess of this amount.

The membership Is nearly 900. The golf link In Riverside Park, Just across the river. Is one of the chief attractions for the club member. Bathing Is another srpoft greatly enjoyed. There 1 a toboggan chute, 130 feet In length from an elevation of fifty seven feet, that proved one of the attractions for Riverside Park last summer.

Frequently hundreds of people would assemble on the bank opposite the clubhouse to watch the bathers come down the chute with lightning speed and tumble Into the clear water with a splash that would bide them from view. The members of the Canoe Club declare their venture a great success. LINDSAY SUGGESTS GRAY. The Former Senator Does Not Think Cleveland will be Nominated. WjBHINGTON, May 9.

Ex Senator William Lindsay, of Kentucky, a close friend of rover Cleveland, Is in the city. When asked regarding Cleveland's candidacy. Senator Lindsay said: "If the Democrats could elect anybody, Mr. Cleveland would be the man. but I do not expect to 'see him at the bead of the ticket.

I witnessed the gi tit demonstration for him In St. Louis the other day, and know how greatly the ovation pleas ed him. Mr. Cleveland has had the re ij markable experience of living to see all' the obloquy put removed. Ills greatness is appreciated tty Ca.T by the whole country.

should like to see the Democrats sagacious enough to pick out as strong a man In 1904 as George: Gray, of' Delaware, He would probably be beaten, but he would emerge from the battle with honor, and the party would be In good condition for the next contest. If the Democrats could get together on a sensible platform, eschewing the which have wrecked the organisation, they wonld prove themselves worthy of a party that has had a glorious history and which may yet guide the destinies of the nation."
