PROTEST ON ROAD

Opposition Develops to Plan for Pavitog Highway East of Terre Haute.

A delegation of eHizeft? m»le a preliminary appearance before the board county commissioners Saturday of

morningr to enter protest as to the route of the James A. Dodd road as set 'out in a petition presented this morning Attorney O'Brien appeared for tho!« who remonstrated and re quested the board to heap them, although admitting that legally there was no call for such a hearing.

The petition to p^ire the Dodd road Was presented to the board signed by farmers living in the southeast part of the county. It is proposed in the petition that the road run east from ttic city limits to Margaret avenue, am. thence to the Riley road.

The petitioners maintain that this road will open up an entirely new area and be a boon to farmers living in that portion of the county. Margaret ave-, nue extends from the river east to the' county line, and has no improvements, thus causing many residents in Harrison and Riley townships to make a wide dtour in an effort to reach the city. The route proposed, however, cuts off a small portion of the Lockport road on which stands the Mount Pleasant church, and it was said that there would ba some abjections on tlUb ground.

Proposed Route Longer.

The Petition presented will cause about a quarter of a mile more pavement for the road, but it is thought that this will be more than offset by the many property owners wJio wiL benefit thereby.

The main objection seems to come from residents living on the Hamilton church road, a branch off the Lock port, starting near the church, who will not have a direct paved route. It i.' claimed by the Dodd road advocates however, that the Lockport road is one of the best in the county, and that tta objection* are unreasonable in the faA the general situation.

Attorney O'Brien asked iwem'bprs of the board to hear objections from about seven residents of that portion of the county involved and was granted permission to have them state their case after considerable squaDbling with Attorney S. H. Rawley for the petitioners. Mr. Rawley stated that it was not the proper time for complaints to be registered and his positicta was upheld fy County Attorney l^eveque. It was finally agreed, however, to listen to the arguments and the road was taken under advisement.

Bridge Contract Awarded.A contract for the building of the FVwc bridge in Riley township was awarded to Lloyd & Weeks on a bid of $1,025. Other bids received were W. H. Rupper, $1,578 Curry & Wood, $1,650, and P. O'Leary, $1,570..

Word was received here Saturday morning that the state tax board passed favorably on two proposed county pavements and rejected one. Those favored by the board were the John L. Smith road, on Twenty-fifth street from the railroad to Lafayette avenue, and the William Dinkle road, College street from Twenty-fifth street east to Fruitridge avenue. The board disapproved the pavement of the John L. Crawford road on Maple avenue from the C. & E. I. railroad east.

Fire Chief Cart Juvinger" appeared before the commissioners and called their attention to the intersection at Twenty-fifth street and Wabash avenue, stating that the corners were not paved and that it was very dangerous for fire apparatus and other vehicles. One of the- fire trucks tore a tire off while making the turn not long ago and it is desired that the interesection be paved on all corners. The board decided to. take up the matter and consider it* The fire chief is also planning to ask the traction company to pave its tracks -across Xweaty-fiftl street.

A petition for the paving of the William E. Eppert road from North Terre Haute through Otter Creek township to the Parke county line, was also pre*sented to the board of county commissioners Saturday morning

HUSBAND'S EVIDENCE QUEERS MCE CASE

UnusuAl Conditions Brought Out In Hearing Saturday Before S Judge Gleasoxu

Three divorces were granted in Superior Court Saturday morning by Judge William Gleason, and two suits dismissed. There were also some hearings fbr allowance in cases now pending.

Michael McConnell lost an apparently good suit for separation from his wife, Martha McConnell, just about the time things seemed to be going his way by making an unwary admission of relations with his wife after the suit was filed.

Michael is a Scotchman 'and served recently in the Canadian army. In his suit he charged that Martha was not only cruel and inhuman but careless with her morals, having trifled with, others than her lawfully wedded husband. To prove his assertion Michael brought into court a family friend, also Scotch and also of the Canadian army. The friend testified that he had been very intimate with' Martha during h«r husband a absence, although he was a trifle hazy as to dates.

The case seemed to be a bit strong when Miehltel himself was placed on the stand, but it fell through when }ie admitted having relations with the wife since suit for divorce was filed Judge Gleason dismissed t,he case forthwith.

Carrie Clayton* a dusky "bride, was granted a divorce from her wandering husband, Charles Clayton, colored, or. a charge of abandonment. According to Carrie, Charles was inclined to gamble and circulate. He failed to provide for her, and finally on Jan. 4, 1917, circulated clear out of sight and has not reappeared since.

Sam Hawkins, charging that his wife, Emma, quarreled with him, made life miserable in general, and then finally flew the coop entirely, was granted a divorce. Lulu May Whitehead also obtained a divorce from Ray B. Whitehead, whom fehe charged with cruel and inhuman treatment and failure to provide.

MCLEAN

COMMENCEMENT IS MADE NOTABLE OCCASION

Largest Graduating Class In School's History Receive Diplomas At Central Christian Church.

perhaps 111 1 irgest graduating class in the school city held their closing exercises and commencement this week when 138 boys And girls from the McLean center were graduated at the Central Christian church. The class marched into the edifice to the strains of a march playejd by Miss Amelia Meyer at the organ, following which the invocation was impressively given by the Rev. Pettus. The school sang "The Rally," in cnorus, a number greatly enjoyed. Miss Mary Northropp and Cyril Cox at two pianos with the McLean orchestra and Miss Meyer at the organ and Miss Nelle Longman as musical director furnished a musicar program which proved a treat. Miss Harriet Calvert, cornetist, assisted with the orchestra. Miss Margaret Kilroy was heard in a delightful reading,0 "Homeward Bound," followed by a piano duet by twin sisters, Ruth and Mary Shiftlley. The orchestra played a group of two numbers, "Starry Emblem" and "Army Reserve," which were of surprising high order.

Prof. T. W. Records, recently Returned from serving in France and Russia in the Y. M. C. A. forces was heard in an interesting and instructive talk. The orchestra followed with another selection. "Youth and Beauty," and Prof. W. C. Garretson presented the diplomas amid the plaudits of the admiring and perspiring audience. Much credit is due Miss Longman as director of the njusic, which was quite out of the ordinary and showed application on the part of director and musicians. The church was attractively decorated in quantities of garden flowers.

COPS BACK WRONG MAN. Sporting Ones On the Force Picked Willard to Win.

Policemen, individually, and as a, whole, are a pretty good-sized bunch when it comes to heft. In fact, a fellow can't b# one of the little ones and land among the city's finest And, they sort of lend their ways toward the big men physically, which mj|y account for some of them spotting Jess Willard a° a sure win in the big fight at Toledo, Friday.

Anyway, Desk Sergeant Frank Voelker spent" a couple of minutes taking some statements on the outcome of Willard's battle against Jack Dempsey, who is somewhat smaller than th€ former "champeen." And, Frank, after carefully jotting them down, placed the results in his desk, where they came to light Friday morning, -rne tragedy occurred during the afternoon.

Motor Officer Jimmy Allen opined "Willard will just about kill Dempsey in the second round." Motor Officer Cary Thompson considered it profoundly, ajid said "Dempsey will show up like a school boy and dummy. Willard will win in the fourth." Patrolman WyetJa. just said "Willard will win."^

Then, Frank wrote down his own ideas on the subject, saying "Mike Gibbons will get knocked out at Kansas City. Willard will get his.**

Detective Jack Smock tried to outtalk Police Surgeon John H. Hewitt about the scrap, and declared up anc down that Jess could take one sledgehammer drive on top of Dempsey's head and make him shorter than the estimable police surgeon at which Hewitt snorted" copiously and loudly, Jack saying that all the "little fellow has is a barrel of nerve."

But, unless you are particularly well acquainted with the Willard followers don't talk too freey about the fight. So far, Desk Sergeant Guy Bowsher admits that his judgment erred, and it powerfully happy that no one took up his offer for a bet on the outcome.

HELD FOR INVESTIGATION.

William Schneider, arrested early Friday morning in Edgewood Grove with a taxicab bearing: a Michigan license as his dpwny couch, will be held for further investigation, it developed in City Court Saturday morning when his case was called on the docket. While Schneider's story seems plausible to a great extent, there arc some twists developed which warrant further *»namin.n,iop lpto the case.
