Veterans seek flags in monument parade in violation of law
A letter to Adjutant General Smock from the Nineteenth regiment veterans requests allowing Civil War flags to be carried in the general parade on monument dedication day. The committee and Gen. Smock say law prohibits removing flags from the state house except for the monument exercises, so flags will only move from the state house to the monument. Color guards comprise veterans who carried or saved the flags, with named captains and guards from Seventh Indiana, Nineteenth Indiana, and Fifty-second Indiana units listed.

Butler of the State board of charities advocates extending current prison labor contracts for six years despite criticisms of the contract labor system tied to Michigan City jail troubles.

City sanitation plan for burning houses in Indianapolis unlikely
City measures led by Buehler to burn several S Meridian st houses for disinfection will probably be dropped. Officials doubt the building inspector can order the action, the board of works prefers formaldehyde, and council purchase of the houses for burning seems unlikely. Supt Zion of the Indianapolis union railway company, Mrs Zion, and Miss Marie Katzenbach will depart Monday for New York for a week, where Mr Zion will attend the American railway association meeting on April 23.
