said last night that more than $200 was real ized from and an immense amount of groceries fruits canned goods provisions table linen bed furnishings and the like obtained Jameson cited as an example of tills the division of a fund in which a little work was done along all Creek and the re mainder of the money expended along Pleasant Run These conditions he said were removed by the new park law under which one park district is assessed for the improvements within its borders He laid stress on the point that progress would be made slowly and that it would take years to accomplish great results 1 Mr Kessler paid Indianapolis many compliments saying that the city is a park as it stands that its trees and foli age are abundant and that its architec ture compares favorably with that of any other city Indianapolis lacks he said is a connected scheme of park and boule vard development a union of the real dence districts and park properties and a connection with the business He explained that this connected scheme of development was that being planned by the Park Board and urged that it be given encouragement and sup port By means of a map he showed that only two stretches of boulevard were needed in addition to the parkways now mapped out to surround the city thus making each park property easy of ac cess from any portion of the city One of these stretches of boulevard would run from the northern line of Riverside Park east on Thirty eighth street to the all Creek parkway and boulevard the other to continue from there southeast through Brookside Park to the Run park way Urges Importance of Streams Mr Kessler urged the importance of se curing to the city the use and control of both banks of all' natural waterways and the preservation of their natural beauty instead of developing them artifically all Creek he said offered unusual ad vantages and he demonstrated the beauty of the stream by means of a series of stereopticon views Some of these showed work already under way by the Park Board and others showed work to be taken up in the future Views which aroused intense enthu siasm were a series of "before and photographs taken in Kansas City show ing improvements effected there under the direction of Mr Kessler Some of these photographs offered contrasts of a nature so startling as to bring an invol untary tribute of applause from the audience Mr Kessler referred to the project of a plaza beginning at the west side of the State House and continuing west to White River He said that every city is now projecting something of this nature and contended that in advertising value alone it would yield ample returns on the investment plaza is a he said "but it is a dream that can come He referred also to the bridges that have been built in the city and said that no city within his knowledge has done better with its bridges In answering questions from the au dience in the discussion which followed Dr Pameson said that the work of the Park Board now and for several years to come would be In the direction of ac quiring park and boulevard properties and that development and improvement would be secondary He explained that the two would go hand in hand but that i acquisition would be first In their plans as regards the expenditure of funds Tells of Saint Gaudens i ox of the Herron Art Institute made a brief address urging the club

Stat? yesterday to take steps for the revision of the English course in the high schools of the state In taking this step the board indulged in no condemnation of the present system nor in any severe criticism of the teachers Changes can be made in a number of essentials and a committee is to be appointed to map out the course as it is to be for adoption The essential difference it stood will be to place more nnon exnression both written Cleaner speech and the ability to say clearly upon paper what is to be con veyed is desired The aim is not to make poets and novelists but to make the pupils capable of expressing themselves definitely and clearly by letter or other written communication Instead of reading and analysis there is to be more writing Howe Calls Attention The matter was brought to the atten tion of the board by Prof Howe author of the readers adopted by the board and a member of the Indiana University faculty Prof Howe made a report to the board of an investiga tion

Engineer Says Warnings Were Sounded and Other Witnesses Say Victim Was Confused That his whistle was blowing and his bell sounding when his engine struck Prof Herman Chamberlain a few days ago in Irvington was the state ment of Engineer William Duncan yesterday to Coroner Blackwell He said his train was going only about twenty five or thirty miles an hour He said he was almost blinded by the snow and hardly realized that he had struck a man out anew someining nau crossed natn fore it had gone a square ireman Charles Housun who like the engineer lives in Columbus said that he did not know a man had been killed until the engineer leaned over and told him he had struck something He said that they were running about thirty miles an hour Andrew Wilson the flagman said that he had warned the professor and that the professor acted as though he thought he had referred to a freight train that was approaching from the opposite direc tion He said that another freight train that had just passed obscured the view of the approaching passenger train from where Mr Chamberlain stood Charles A Brown 341 Hamilton avenue a brakeman on the second freight train recited the accident as he saw it similar to the way the flagman told it coroner will continue Investigation $471413 for board The average4 cost for each tramp was $128 The majority were kept only over night and we are safe in believing that many went forth only to commit depredations against the people of the county which gave them shelter "That the number of tramps received Is a matter of administration only has been proven again and again by the Te ports of the sheriffs to this office A county can readily establish a reputation for hospitality to this class Henry Coun ty seems to have done so There were 385 tramps in that jail during the last fiscal year In the jails of the six coun ties that adioin Henry there were only rnnse counties Madison 103 Delaware 29 Ran wayne ayette hv iuisn "Another striking

than the money itself William Henry ox director of the Art Institute was looking for the etrongest safety deposit vault In Indianapolis yes terday The money wait In the form of gold coins and while the quantity was not so large but he could carry It ip bls pocket Mr ox aald they were the most valuable gold pieces that were ever Jingled in the city The coins belong to the American Numismatic Society of New York which has lent them to the Art Institute for display while the Saint Gaudens exhibition is In progress The coins Included the eagles and double eagles whirl: Saint Gaudens designed for the government After some of them were struck at the Philadelphia mint and sent into circulation they were recalled that Saint Gaudens might make some modifi cations Some of the designs which he turned over to the mint were made Into coins that never found their way to the public as they were later changed by tho sculptor But all of the different designs appear In the collection which came from New York While there are a number of the gold pieces still held by collectors the one lent for the exhibition Is one of tho few complete Issues which show every change which Saint Gaudens made In them Keep Coin Under Guard Mr ox found a safety deposit where he thought the coins would be safe and left them there until the exhibition at the Art Institute is ready for them In addi tion to these coins the plaster models which Saint Gaudens made for the use of the mint will also bo shown at the Insti tute There are a number of the casts each as large as a dinner plate and the color of old ivory But the coins and the models do not show the great amount of thought and effort which Saint Gaudens gave to them He made seventy models of an eagle be fore he obtained one which he thought worthy of a place on the $10 gold piece The sculptor died before the coins as they are now known to the public had been issued from the mint The commis sion to design the coins came from Presi dent Roosevelt and it was among the last works of the sculptor The coins are so valuable that they will be under guard during the time they are shown at the Art Institute They are looked upon by critics rather as medals than as coins and they are also regarded as the only coins of this day that are above the mere draftsman level It is expected that the collection lent by the New York societv will excite much in terest while they are on view here AST TRAINS WILL CONTINUE of the hookworm Mr Butler indulge In any reflections upon reflation of the hookworm in He floes not make any effort to makes
