RECEIVER FILES DEMURRERS.

'Sets Up Statute of Limitations Against Stockholders. Jacob C. Kolsem, receiver of the .American State* bank, has filed de murrers in the Superior and Circuit

Courts to the suits for damages which have been brought against the bank and its-receiver by stockholders. It is alleged that the cause of action in the -suits is barred by the statute of lim itations, and that the action for damages for deceit does not lie against an

Insolvent corporation or its receiver. The demurrers say the plaintiffs did not use sufficient care in ascertaining whether or not a fraud had been com"ttiitted, and that the increase of stock -was a de facto increase. It is also alleged that the false representations were matters of opinion or promises as to the "future, the truth or falslty of which the plaintiffs knew or had means of knowing equally as well as the defendants.

Revolt Leaders Hear of Plotting of Old Regime—U. S. of Russia May Be'Pormed.

PETROGRAD, March 24.—Minister of. War .Gutchkoff's admonition to the Russian people today to guard against enemies within the new democracy was not based on mere conjecture, according to information which developed tonight. It was learned that there is Ofjinsiderable anxietyf among the provisional government leaders over the machinations of -members of the old regime—including the famous Black Hundred*

These elements, It was believed, are seeking to foment a counter revolution, their present efforts being directed mainly toward the peasants, seeking to incite them into demands for a free distribution and partition of Russia's agricultural lands.

The land problem has always been an acute one amonfe the peasantry.

PETROGRAD, -March 24.—Russia will be the "United States of Russia" —a republic—if the leaders of the present provisional government prevail in the constitutional assembly shortly to be caJled. Sentiment here in Petrograd among the general public supports this pie n—the name as well as the form of government.

Duma committee members afe now enroute to all provinces of Russia to spread to the people the gospel of the revolutionists to explain how the Duma seized ''control and to urge the people to consider what form of government they desire.

Indicating- the rapid order which is being installed everywhere and the active operations of the provisional government seeking to eliminate enemies from within the empire, Secretary of War GutchkoflC today issued a warning to a^l citizens to guard carefully against spies and urging unity of action against Germany. He said Germany was now massing men and mu' nitions on the .northern border, contemplating an invasion toward Petrograd.

INDIAN BOYS PREPARE.. CARLISLE, Pa., March 24.—Three hundred original Americans—Indian boy students— at Carlisle industrial school are ^rainjpd and ready to fight for the white men who wrested frojri them the land Columbus disoovered, trained, drilled and equipped by army officers, these three hundred redskins are ready to answer the nation's call.

mine. Army officers and department officials are known to be virtually unanimous in favor of immediate adoption of. the system. Secretary Baker and President Wilson have yet- to indicate the position they will take in. this big question.

On one point, however, there seems to be no question. The army will hav9 to be vastly augmented, even if it is ljot dtecided to send an army abroad. .A request for large numbers of additional officers to put into training an adequate army is expected as one. of the first steps.

There was every indication today that the pending army appropriation of $327,000 000 will not stand. Just how much "war money" .will be asked of jedngress for land defense, officials said, will depend on what congress wants the army to Mo and what system will finally tie adopted.

Though the last congress failed to pass the army •appropriation measure this fact does not hinder the collection of needed army supplies. On the contrary, contractors are taking the contracts without' signatures, realizing that they will be paid when the bill passes the new congress. Hence the ordnance branches are going ahead thoroughly and efficiently: Secretary Baker said, tonight that, all the army measures which failed of passage are being Inspected and will be presented in a sort of budget to the new congress.

24 DESTROYERS ORDERED.

Navy Department Awards Contracts for Fleet of Fast Vessels. WASHINGTON, March 24.—Contracts for twenty-four new 35-knot destroyers were awarded today by the navy department. All will be built on the basis of cost plus 10 per cent profit. The order was divided as follows: Union Iron Works, San Francisco, ten William Cramp & Sons, Philadelphia, six: Fore River Ship Building company, Quincy, Ma^s., eight.

The department established a precedent by awarding contracts on the same day that bids were opened. The boats will require the complete capacity of the companies to which awarded. Every offer to the department -wa^ accepted and builders who did not submit figure stoday have been called up for estimates as to how many addi-. tional destroyers each can make.

BRINGS SUIT ON CONTRACT.

Warren T. Ferguson filed suit for specific performance against William H. Griffin in the Superior Court Saturday. Ferguson alleges he and Griffin entered into a contract by which Griffin agreed to deliver to him (the plaintiff) certain property in the .city for a consideration of $800, but that Griffin has not done this.

'ice and fire departments of -the city, whiph look after the protection of "lives am*, property of the citizehs of Terre Haute. These men should be residents of the city for years in order 'to know it well, should have considerable business training and have the qualities of grood executives. They should know tlic men welt whom they appoint on the police c-r fire department, and should select those men who- have the best qualifications to serve- the heads of these departments.

The members of the board'of public health and charity »sho\iid be physicians of recognized standing throughout the city, who have had the training and practice that makds pne capable of looking after -the health of the entire city, minimizing to the best of i-he-r abilit) ali diseases of the community on the highest' possltfe plane.

To be a memoer of the board of public works one should have had eon siderable training alonsr some line of trade wherein -he has ccme to know the value .which should be re-ceived for the expenditures pf moneys for supplies, equipment, etc.,.and also along the engineering and construction lines, as in the hands of these men the citizens place the power to give tlienr j?ood streets sidewalks, sewers and alleys. Also to design, order, contract for and complete the Improvement or repair of any property, real or personal. belonging' tti the city, aud the erection of all buildings for public purposes. They superintend the repair, cleaning, lighting, etc., of all streets, ma lire contracts for the furnishing of light and water for the city and in general ca»»-y out the plans foi thi upkeep of public property.

The street commissioner is an important official under the supervision of tho board of public works, and to him one looks for the maintenance of thb streets and alleys, their repair, cleaning, •sprinkling, etc. He should be one who can handle men in order to obtain fhe best results of their labor at all times and have a good knowledge or the method of buying materials nnd supplies for the Use on the upk-jep of the city's thoroughfares.

The inaxr qualifications of, the city corr.ptrol er, wl?o is head of the department of finance, is of'course that he should possess a good knowledge of financ, as all moneys received and disbursed by the civil r-.itv throughout tr.e ycs.r passes through his office, where a careful record of the same must be kept. 'Ho must issue and sisrn all orders for money upon the city treasury, prescribe the forms of reports to be rendered his department, audit all accounts in which the city is -concerned and at ail times work for the lowering of the outstanding indebtedness of the city, together with minimizing Current expenses as far aj it is in his power. He should at \ny time, bo able to present an intelligent report to the city council or mavor. showing the financial results of 'the city's business for any given period an-1 of its financial state or condition at any given time.

JAMES, M. GO'SSOM, Mayiflr! Albert Owens Speaks.

Albert Owens, city judge candidate, said in part: "Ladles: You have always been fellow citizens with the right of voting deprived. It is most unusual for a candidate to be invited to speak before a body of voters. Usually the candidate must go out and get up his own audience, having no idea of the manner in which he will be received. •"The City Court is a court of limited jurisdiction. This jurisdiction is to the extent to allow the judge to asseas six months' imprisonment and a $600 fine. If a man is not able to pay the tine, the sentence then would, amount to 670 days, little less than tWo years. "It is important, therefore, that some one should be judge of the City Court who has had experience and who is able to differentiate in cases who is able to read character who is able to judge humanity. "When a prisoner comes into the court room he is presumed to be innocent until proven guilty, but it is very difficult to consider a man innocent when everything surrounding him points toward his guilt.

He classified the cases that com# into the City Court as felonies and misdemeanors. These, he said, were subdivided. "It would be my idea to be. jealous of the rights of the state And also' jealous of the rights of the defendants. I am not In favor of suspending sentences. The City Court hasn't the right to do this. It can withhold judgment, but cannot suspend sentences. "If I am elected city judge I pledge

"Bring back any Goodrich Black Safety Tread Tires you feel have not given you the right serviceThus ran our 1917 message to the world.

If there were such tires we. wanted them back and we said so as emphatically as we could say. it—particularly to the owners of Ford automobiles.

From the thousands of Ford Size Goodrich Tires sold we had a right to expect a- certain number of tires to come back. Our tires have come back—loaded with "a surprise.

Paul Shafer, also candidate for city judge, s'aid in part: "A great spirit of awakening has taken hold of this country in the last few yeare. As4 a result, progress has come on in the lines of legislation. Prominent in this line of progress has been woman suffrage. "I am glad, indeed, that suffrage has come to the women. In many ways they are better qualified for their new duties than men. I think my wife should be placed upon the same plane that' I am upon. /'From the city judge's bench, thpre are two sides to be looked upon. In considering these, cases we have to consider the welfare of the prisoner, and further^ back, we have to look to his family and ivhat tho prisoner is doing in society. "If the accused man has a wife and two or three sons or daughters,f and his off#nse a minor one, then the state of Indiana Should consider that this man's family should be looked after and supported by him. "It is necessary that in passing sentence on an individual the judge should have a broad understanding of human nature. While I haven't-been a member Jf the Vigo county bar so long, previous to that I have had the experience of being the head of a college in the south, and in that I have had the opportunity of looking into character and studying humanity.
