REINBOLD REPLIES TO 1HACTI0N JITNEY SUIT

ff Inquires If Company Paid for Franchise, Who Got the Money— Denies Union Boyooti.

In answer to the charges, which were made by the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern Traction company through its bonding company, the Fidelity Trust company of Philadelphia, as grounds for Federal Judge A. B. Anderson enjoining the jitneys from operating' in this city, Phil K. Keinbold, president of the Central Labor union, said last night: "The complaint which Mr. Beasley filed with the federal court is a fit example of the justice which the traotion company would mete out to the poorer citizens of this oity if they wero given a free rein. A short time ago Mr. Beasley was quoted as sayi|»g that he would leave all the 'mud slinging' to the jitney men. The complaint, which he has filed, is an announcement fc that he will be the first .after all to enter the arena of the "mud Blinders.'

The complaint is a besmirching ma» llgning attack from beginning to end. "In the complaint it states that the traction company has paid a valuable consideration for the franchise under which it operates, or rather is supposed to operate, in this city. If I have not been misinformed the city has not been paid one single cent for the franchise.

nllr

I wonder if Mr. Beasley or any of the other traction men could tell the peopie of Terre Haute who did get the money, if it was paid.

Mentions Freight Cars.

''The complaint states, that the traction company

haB

a right by law

to do the business which would rightfully come to it without unauthorized competition. When did the Terre Haute, Indianapolis &, Eastern Traction, company receive its franchise for hauling freight through the city of Terre Haute? They profess to have a great, deal of interest in the city, but if'anyone will read the complaint «f*^"th% traction company he will readily see that the only interest which it has is to extort money from the citize-is oi Terre Haute to fill the Goffers of the eastern capitalists backing the company. "Almost every Sunday, the only religious holiday which the worklro? man has, his eye smust be offended by the sight of those lumbering freight cars .. of the company plying up and down the ptreets. The only interest of the traction company is in extortion. "The complaint states that therevenue, which has been derived by the company, has increased each year up to the time of the advent of the Jitney, when it has fallen off about $3,000 a month. Mr. Beasley, in preparing the complaint, forgets that with the added incr«ase in the profits of the company Sit has failed to put any money back •into the development of the city during that time. The company has failed s'-to give proportionate improvements with the added income.

No Boycott Needed

"•'the complaint charges a boycott of the street car by the union men of this city Do the traction officials think i'that it is only the union men who patronize the jitney? Do they see at last the benefit of .the union? If so why do they allow their own poor wage slaved to become organized instead of attempting to break in the heads of those who tried to organize them.

when

"There is not a law in the land which gives to a corporation 'the exelusive privileges of utility .service. Even the constitution of the United States gives to every one th.e... same rights. "If it is right and proper for the traotion company to file injunction suits against the jitney men for the competition which they are making, then why should not the railroads also have filed the same sort of proceedings

the. interurban car was in its

"•Infancy. Surely it took soitip of the ^patronage away from the railroad. "There is but little doubt in my mind that the future method -of transportation is by prasoltne power, and the jitney is a big evidence of the success with which such power is being met by the people."

EVANS PREDICTS WAVE

Root Store Advertising Manager Says Terre Haute Will Feel Big Business Coming.

Maybe inle-tenths of the people in Terre Hautel are pessimists or have felt pessimistio since the war began, and maybe everyone In Terre Haute, with the exception of one man, feels that way, but thefe Is one man at least who sees the bright side of lite and predicts an era of prosperity, not only for Terre Haute, but for the entire country He is Thomas C. Evans, advertising manager of the Root store. "Tom" Is a congenial sort of chap at any odds and stoutly maintains that when a store like Root's feels prosperity in the air it is time for each and every individual in the city to lay down all hammers and begin boosting. One way of advancing the theory that two wrongs don't make a right.

All Business to Prosper. "There Is a wave of prosperity coming on," says Mr. Brans, "and all of the forces of nature and money will have a hard time keeping it down. Doesn't a million dollar wheat crop, larger than ever before, point to prosperity. Every business and manufacturing concern in the country is' having a hard time filling orders, the reason being that business is picking up. "These calarnlty howlers and hard times criers are the one& who are putting a temporary check in the wave. We can see nothing but the rosy side of life here at Root's because the good times, and soon everyone will fepl the same way about it. "Traveling men come In every day and really enjoy themselves in telling of how business is picking? up all over the country. Then, too, we have men on Wall street every day, and they see the prosperity wave on the way."

GTTERINGER GRANTED RESPITE. Man Sentenced to Death for Assault .on Miss Scheidler to Get New Trial.

Vic Guerihger, once sentenced to death for a. criminal assault on Gertrude Scheidler Johnson, of Terre Haute, and later granted a new trial by the Supreme Court of Missouri, who was to be tried last week again in the Kansas City courts, hap been granted a brief respite. The trial will be held on October 4, according to Adrian Beecher, one of the attorneys in the casae

During the past few weeks Mr. Beecher in company with the prosecuting attorney' from Kansas City has been engaged in gathering evidence which will tend, he thinks, to acquit the man. Depositions have been taken from more than a dozen Terre Haute people, and it is likely more will: be taken. Several of the witnesses who live here will be called to testify on th^gtand.

PACKERS ASK U. S. AID. Chicago Meat Men Seek to Save Cargo Seized By British, rji

NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—Chicago packers today formally enlisted the aid of the United States in the attempt to say© 12,600,000 worth of meat belonging to them from confiscation by the British government. The cargoes were condemned by the British prire court as being shipments intended for Germany. Secretary of State Lansing conferred with Arthur Meeker, head of the packers' committee, at the Biltmore here this afternoon. The secretary garve assurance that the case would be given consideration. The packers contend that there has been a denial of justice, that the case is outside of the jurisdiction of a prize court, and they will lose not only the $2,500,000 involved, but a sum approximating $15,000,000 involved in all meat cargoes held up.

Merchants Get Ready

Dress-up

National in scope, "Dress-Up Week" marks a wave of enthusiasm on the part of the merchants of this city and of the whole country to contrlbuta to the pride of the national dress. As Easter in the springtime marks a period when all the young men put on their new clothes and parade the streets, so does Dreis-Up Week mark a similar event In the fall.

A period from October 1 to 9 has been set aside as the time for everyone to do their shopping in preparation for Dress-Up Sunday which occurs October 10. On that day, It is the merchants' expectations, all the men in the city and in fact all the men in the nation will don their fall "togs" and parade the streets for the edification of the fairer sex.

But Dress-Up Week is not alone for the men. Toung girls and women, too, are expected to contribute to the BUCcess of the plan by appearing in the height of their glory. Both the men's furnishing shops and the women's stores are already preparing for the period which has been set aside for the purchasing.

In order that the people may take hold of the plan and push it through, the merchants all over the country are planning special bargains for the purchasing period. Every inducement will be offered by them to make the people realize that it is to their advantage to support the efforts of the merchants to bring the proposition to a successful conclusion.

The local merchants announce that they will make sacrifices in the sale of all their wares during the time set aside and they feel sure in view of this inducement that the people will not fail to appreciate the opportunity.

The plan for the support of the proposition among the local merchants was born at a luncheon of the merchants held at the Deming hotel recently where letters from some of the biggest furnishing houses in the country were read and the plans of the clothiers in other cities reviewed. The luncheon ended after almost every merchant in the city had pledged himself to the support of the proposition.

When buying at this store there is the positive assurance of one price for all customers. No discounts for favored friends, nor special classes. All are equal here.
