JEWELER GIVES UP THE FORT

Hase the BalldlnK.
"He's ducked. The remaining brick In
this building now for sale."
This statement, pointed In large red let
ters on white imisVn. Is displayed at the
corner of the Odd Fellows' building at
Pennsylvania and Washington streets, In
dianapolis, and marks the end of the fight
with Louts Baum, the Jeweler, who held
his quarters in the building for three
weeks, despite the showers of bricks and
plaster that the wreckers threw Into his
room and the drenching rains that came
almost dally and flooded his establishment.
Baum's fight against the Odd Fellows
was perhaps one of the most remarkable
that ever has occurred between landlord
and tenant.
He had occupied a room irt the building
for years, and his lease still had two years
to run. The Odd Fellows concluded to
tear down the building and erect a more
pretentious one on the site. They gave all
their tenants notice to And other quarters.
Baum, thinking of his unexpired lease,
asked what there "was In it for him,"
and received the laconic reply, "Nothing."
Believing this was a bid for the opeulns;
of negotiations, he made out his demamis.
He wanted the same space in the same cor
ner of the new building on the terms of
Ms lease in the old building and a bonus of
110,000 for his Inconvenience and the hiss
which would' result from a change of loca
tion until the new building was completed.
His terms were rejected and Baum was
given formal notice to get out, and that
without delay. He Ignored the order and
the wreckers began to tear awsy the build
ing. Story after story came down, but

Ice Case la Compromised The Pries
Lake Ice company and I. W. Barr were
brought to an understanding by Acting
Mayor Johnson Friday morning and until
further notice the company will continue to
deliver ice to the Barr household. Manager
Deck of the company explained that he
had no personal objection to delivering
ice to Mr. Bsrr. but that he had but one
wagon and in hot weather found it Imprac

weather was cooler and for this reason
could not cover the entire district over

celling were torn away, leaving only the
plastering as his protection from sunshine
and rain.
Then bricks from the chimney and walls
began to fall through, carrying laths and
plastering with them. Still Baum refused
to go. He stocked up at a neighboring gro
cery with meat and bread, got water from
a street hydrant. Insured his life, and an.
nounced that he would stay as long as the
building did.
What little plastering still remained over
his head was sop.ked by rain and began to
fall. The wreckers, noting Baum's ahsenoe
for a few moments, sent showers of bricks
Into his room. Laths, piaster and other
debris made such a pile on the floor the
tenant could hardly get back. But he did.
with an extra large supply of edibles and
water. The wreckers became discouraged
'and a truce was called. The attorneys of
the Odd Fellows were soon In communica
tion with Baum's lawyers, and at last
Baum moved out.
Just what agreement was reached Is not
known. Neither Baum nor the Odd Fellows
will discuss the matter, but It is estimated
that alt the points for which Baum con
tended were conceded as fatts, and that on
this basis the courts will be asked by him
to assess damages Chicago Tribune.
Members of the county board are de
cidedly of the opinion a bond proposition
for the building of a new court house will
be submitted to the voters of the county
this fall. Just what the proposal will con
tain has not been decided yet and probably
will not be determined upon definitely until
the members of the hoard can have a
chance to feel the public pulse. The re
sult of the meeting Thursday night at the
rooms of the Fontanelie club was very sat
isfactory to the members of the board, who
want a new building on the present site.
In order to find out Just how the public
feels about It petitions will be circulated
and public mass meetings held at which
everyone will be free to express his opinion.
After a preliminary campaign the board
will get together and decide on the terms
of the proposition to be submitted.
Commissioner Solomon expressed himself
ns satlsfod that the question of voting
bonds would be submitted to the people
this fall and he thought the amount would
be $1,000,000 and the site the present court
house grounds Mr. Kennard declared he
thought the amount of the bonds alone
should be submitted.
"I do not believe It would be wtso to
make It a double question by putting In a
qualification as to where th court house
should be located," he said. "I believe a
very large majority of the voters favor
the present location and I think that is
where It will be built. If we wanted to
sell the block we now own and purchase
another site It would require a vote of thi
people, so a change. If made, would be up
to the people, anyway."
Commissioner I're said he thought a bond
proposition would be submitted this fall.
The question as to the location, he said,
would have to be settled after the matter
has been agitated and public sentiment
determined. Mr. Tralnor said ha favored
a thorough test of public sentiment before
deciding on the location.
The proposition probably will not come
up before the commissioners in definite
form for several weeks.
PASSING OF OATHS IN COURT
Solemn Custom Iteeomea Obsolete
Because "Klsstna; the Book"
Is Unsanitary.
"Kissing the book" is going out of vogue
in the United States, and lately there has
been an almost united chorus from British
Judges In favor of a change in .taking the
oath In legal proceedings, especially with
regard to "kissing the book." Recently
Judge Smyly gave Instructions that a Tes
tament kissed by a consumptive patient
should be destroyed.
Of all the many forma used In the courts,
perhaps the most picturesque Is that which
the Mohammedan is required to take. It
is a silent ceremony. The son of Islam
places his right hand flat upon the Koran
and puts the other on his forehead; then
he brines his forehead Jofii to and In
contact with the book.
He then raises himself and looks up
steadfastly for some seconds. The officer
of the court then though he sometimes
forgets this asks the Mohammedan: "Are
you bound by the ceremony you have per
formed to speak the truth?" And the
answer is: "I am." In India the ceremony
has been abolished In favor of an affirma
tion. The most literary and comprehensive outh
Is that administered to the Buddhist. The
officer says to the assenting follower of
Guatama: "You declare as In the pres
ence of Buddha that you are unprejudiced,
and If what you speak shall prove false,
or If by your coloring truth others shall
then may the three Holy
of clause- of individuals for laborers,
weavers, ale-tasters and all sorts of con
ditions were at one time required to take
solemn oaths to do their work well have
b in abolished; and In the light of tiie
perjury now committed there la a strong
section of legal reformers t ho would iml

In England, custom requires the kissing t

in the "Book of Oaths," published In 1G&9. ,
Lord Coke, In his famous "Institutes," ,
referring to the method of taking the oath '
In his time, says that the witness touches '
the Bible during the ceremony. "It is
called," he ssys, "a corporal oath because
he toucheth with his hand some part of
the Holy Scripture. " j
It became general toward the close of the
eighteenth century, and In all probability 1
this was duo to the great efforts muds ;
during that century by certain early Bible i
societies to disseminate the scriptures;
throughout th country. '.

Christian or Jew to take Ills osth without;

that time Judges snd magistrates did their j
best to make the act Inoperative, but thej
home office Issued a strong circular on the
subject, and since then the practice has i
steadily Increased.
After all, why not? The form Is won-1

hand high above his head and says: "I '
swear by Almighty God (as I shsll answer
to God at the great day of Judgment) I
will apeak tbe truth, the whole truth, and
nothing hut the truth."
