SUBURBAN DAY PLANS

Merchants Contemplate Putting on Extra Clerks to Handle Out-of-Town Trade.

The get-together movement of the Watash avenue merchants in the promotion of the plans for Suburban day is progressing smoothly. From all accounts that have been received there will be one of the biggest crowds on the streets next Wednesday, the first of the Suburban days that are to follow, that has ever been In Terre Haute. "Word has been received by some of the business men of the city that a lange delegation of shoppers will arrive from the nearby towns in Illinois and it is thought that the crowd from the In--diana side of the line will be just as large.

Several merchants are contemplating putting on an extra force of clerks to handle the expected crowds on that day. They announce that should the day prove to be such an attraction and there is an enormous crowd that every effort will be made to make their pa trons as comfortable as possible.

Situated as it is, Terre Haute demands the attention of hundreds of people living in smaller towns and cities in the vicinity where the opportunities for shopping are limited As the hub of a wagon wheel Terre Haute is located in the center of a vast district inhabited by countless numbers of people who want and de,mand the best. Following out tho figure of speak, the spokes of the wheel are represented by interurban and steam railways radiating in all directions. Good roads and railroads will also bring in their toll of buyers. The merchants have decided that it is due these patrons to establish a special day on which they can come to the city and buy the things that are necessary. The cut prices which ^ill continue during the sale will allow an ample margin by which the buyer can pay for his transportation from his home to Terre Haute. Of course to the patrons that live in the city and the very near vicinity the cut prices will mean more than to those who live farther away for the cost of the travel will not be so heavy.

There will be one rule that governs the whole, so that those who get the unexpected benefit of the cut prices 'without the outlay of traveling expenses are just so much to the good.

MINE STRIKE SETTLED AT BOONVILLE SHAFT

Company Agrees to Employ Only Union Men In Future—Powder Dispute Taken TJp.

Announcement was made at the offices of the United Mine Workers of District No. 11 Saturday morning that the strike of 150 men at the Warrick mine at Boonville had been settled by District Board Member W. H. Raney. According to District President Stewart the men have all been reinstated, the company has agreed to employ only union men and the miners will be reimbursed for the tools they have lost on account of the mine being shut down. The miners also will receive pay for the coal mined which was left in the entries when the mine was closed. The strike was caused by the company employing non-unioi men.

Three international executive board members who are in the city to assist in settling difficulties have taken up the question of prices for permissible powder. The miners at Bruceville have reported considerable trouble over this question. The mLners assert that no contract exists regarding the prices while the operators say contract was made between the joint committees appointed by the last joint convention of the miners and operators. The international board members expect to clear up this situation before they leave.

FORMER TRUSTEES SUE. Hathaway and Wiley Ask Judgment Against Architect.

William H. Wiley and Arthur S. Hathaway, former school trustees, have filed suits in the Superior Court against Jupiter G. Vrydagh, architect of the school board, and Ewald E. Reiman, in which each asks judgment for $760 on a bond given by Vrydagh, with Reiman as surety, in suits filed in the Circuit Court in May, 1910, to restrain Wiley and Hathaway from acting as school trustees. The suit was an attack on the Beal school law, passed by the legislature in 1909, which provided for the election of the trustees by popular vote. Wiley and Hathaway were the first trustees elected in this manner. Vrydagh brought suit to restrain them from interfering with the work on the Davis Park school, claiming that they were serving unlawfully as such trustees. Later the suit was tried in the Circuit Court, and when Vrydagh refused to plead, the restraining order was dismissed, and judgment rendered against him for costs. Each of the plaintiffs claims that his attorney's fees In the case were $500, and that the loss of time on his part in defending the suit was $250. Dnvall & Whltaker and McNutt, Wallace & Sanders represent the plaintiffs in the case.

RESULTS OF EFFORTS

All Day Task of Terre Haute and Brazil Boosters Puts Highway In Good Shape.

As the result of the efforts of a small band of good road enthusiasts, the National road today is in better condition than it has been for years. Armed with picks and shovels the road boosters observed Friday as good roads day and spent the morning and afternoon in filling chuck holes and grading the road to the county line. From Brazil a large delegation headed by a band worked toward the county line and met the Terre Haute workers there.

The Terre Haute workers left in automobiles and worked under the dl rection of Ransom Phillips, county road commissioner. In his automobile Mr. Phillips carried E. H. Clifford, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, and Judge James H. Swango. Spencer F. Ball, president of the Chamber of Commerce, took with him Charles T. Nehf and P. B. Garrott. Joseph Elder filled his machine with workers furnished by the Chero-Cola company and one man furnished by Charles McKeen, Patrick O'Leary, the contractor, donated the use of two teams and a force of men. Later in the day, W. A. Braden, Allen Weinhardt, L. .R Witty and Charles and Richard O'Leary joined the party.

Graders on Job.

The graders did much work which put the road in good condition. W. A. Braden furnished two graders for getting the road in condition. The workers returned to Terre Haute at noon and moved west of the city to work there.

Practically all of the bad holes in the road have been filled and packed with good material. One noticeable change which will meet with the approval of tourists was the planking of several of the bridges length wise. This will eliminate the necessity of slowing down at bridges and increase the wearing time of the bridge.

Just on the other side of Seelyville, the car sent over the road by The Tribune met a delegation of high school boys from Brazil. For a quarter of a mile they had scraped and raked the road so that scarcely a stone could be found. The road resembled a newly macadamized road with gravel on it to protect the wearing surface. The high school boys were in charge of J. W. Liddle. In the evening they were entertained with a supper by the Civic league of Brazil.

Farmers Turn Boosters.

Great interest was manifested in the work of the road boosters by the farmers along the road. When they were told what the movement means they at once caught the spirit. Many of them promised to personally look after stretches of road in front of their farms

West of the city the road boosters found a big task. The recent heavy rains had left many places to be filled and the boosters were kept busy. Those places which could not be filled will be repaired this week, Mr. Phillips assured the workers. This road will be dragged all next week in order to have it in condition for the tourists who will pass through the city on their way to Indianapolis for the speedway races.

Saturday night Secretary Clifford and Mr. Phillips will meet with Seelyville boosters In an attempt to arrange for the improvement of the highway in that vicinity, which is said to be in bad condition. A delegation of Brazil workers are expected to attend the Seelyville meeting, which will be held at 7 o'clock.

with the Jury after which he continued: "I am more moved by this verdict than it is possible for me to express. None of you, I assure you, will ever have cause to regret your action. I am especially gratified that such a verdict came from a jury composed of men of every political faith."

The foreman of the jury said that forty ballots in all were taken before the verdict was finally agreed upon. The first ballot, taken more than forty hours before the jury came in today, was nine to three in favor of the defendant. It remained at that figure for about five hours.

The foreman of the jury in a statement said: "After the first ballot we stood 11 to 1 in favor of the defendant. Those fi,gures were never changed, Mr. Bums refusing to change his vote until this morning. "Except for Mr. Burns the jurors who voted for the plaintiff on the first ballot, did so, because they did not want it to appear that they gave insufficient consideration to the great mass of evidence that was presented during those five long weeks. We are all very tired, I assure you."

One Reason

for the surpassing excellence of

Champagne Velvet

The water used in brewing our product is taken from our own deep-driven wells. Water is a most important constituent of beer—a particular kind and quality of water is required to make the best beer.

The water we use in our brewing has ideal qualities for brewing purposes—it helps to make a perfect blend of malt and hops.

And so in water lies one reason for the palate-pleasing wholesomeness of Champagne Velvet.

That Champagne Velvet is aged to mellowness—then freshly bottled and freshly delivered, are other reasons for its excellence.
