MOVEMENT STARTED TO AID THE INTERURBAN PROJECT.

Pronator Purtelle Asks S6OO to Square Labor Accounts and Committee Is j At Work. A meeting of citizens was held Thursday evening at the request of Eugene Purtelle, the promoter of the Indiana Northwestern" Traction Co., who asked that financial aid in the sum of |SOO be given him by citizens of Rensselaer and also that the citizens procure for him the right-of-way through the township. Mr. Purtelle stated that the unpaid labor claims at this place would be taken up at once if the money was procured and that he would return to work on this end of the line. y Father Christian Daniel, of St. Augustine’s Catholic church, was present and spoke for President Seifert of St. Joseph’s college, saying that the college would not only donate the right-of-way through their land but also give other substantial aid if the road was certain .to be built. The college would ask that it be protected by guarantee from substantial parties.that their property would be restored to its present condition if the road was started and not completed. Mr. Purtelle stated that the route of the road through Rensselaer would be changed and would follow College road from the south to the northern limits of the city. A committee consisting of Mayor Meyers, C. J. Dean, Moses Leopold and J. H. S. Ellis was appointed to try to raise the money and about $125 was raised at the meeting, all conditioned on raising the full amount. This sum was increased this morning to $250 and the committee is at work this afternoon. Mr. Purtelle haß agreed that the money shall be deposited in a local bank and used for the settlement of claims for labor here. The people here are anxious for the road and many believe that if Purtelle can secure aid enough to permit him to build a few miles of grade that some company will take hold of the project and build it. J. J. Lawler has given the right-of-way through his Newton county land and also has secured the right-of-way through the land of another wealthy land owner, a total of 9 miles. He also offers to give his ropd grader after ire has completed some work of his own. Mr. Purtelle was accompanied here by his engineei-, E. A. Slibeck. W. A. Roby was fined sls and costs at Monon last Monday for intoxication, it being his third convicted offense. He then swore out an affidavit charging Marion Jacks with having sold him the liquor. Jacks plea<y*‘not guilty” and his case was continued until August 15th.

J. J. Montgomery was in Chicago last evening and witnessed the soldiers in the tournament being conducted on the lake front The Chicago colored regiment had the main part/ of the performance Thursday night The ctowd that witnessed the show is estimated at 175,000. Jack says it is worth anyone’s time to go to Chicago to show. Hasty Bros., manager of the depot grocery, are moving the same from the A. Simpson building to the Nowels block, north of the railroad. They are combining with a shoe stock and will use the double store room to display their stock. They consider that the new location will be much the best, especially after the depot location is changed. * Isaac Lilga, a young Swede who has been employed hauling gravel for the match factory, had the thumb of his right hand badly lacerated this morning. He was coming from the pit with a load of, gravel and' his thumb was caught between the wagon bed and the wheel. The bone was bruised but it is thought that it was not seriously injured. Several stitches were taken in the wound to close it up. A postal card from Arthur Tuteur, who with his mother, Mrs. Anna TJuteur and his sister. Miss Maurine, are now in California, says they have had a delightful trip. The card was written, from Salt Lake City and says: “We were out to Saltalr, on the lake, last night, saw a bull fight and all the sights. Today we will go through the 'great Mormon temple and all ovs* the city and leave for Los Angeles this evening. ’ We came here over the Denver A Rio Grande railroad, passed through the Royal Gorge, saw Mt Holy Cross, etc. Simply too grand for words. This is the finest city I have ever seen. Wide streets "and very clean and mountains on every side.

The fellow who le satisfied with the leaving* generally gets 'em.

COMPROMISE WOOL BILL PASSED BY THE SENATE.

Lafolletto Draws New Bill That Reduces Tariff and House Passes It By 48 to 96 Yote. Washington, July 27.—Out of whai bad appeared to be a chaotic condition in the senate, there suddenly arose today a coalition of democrats and insurgent republicans Which , bolted over the regular organization and passed a compromise for the revision of the woolen tariff by 48 to 32. -This new force in the senate, united on a material reduction of tariff dufies all down the line and Hushed with victory, tonight is threatening 1 not only the so-called house farmers free list bill into law next Tuesday, but to put through a cotton bill as well. The insurgents want the sugar and steel schedule included in the program. The house democratic leaders are not willing to accept the compromise bill as it passed the senate today, but they are more than willing to meet the senate conferees. Chairman Underwood, of the house ways and means committee expressed the belief to ‘night that a bill satisfactory to both houses was more than likely to be agreed upon. This would put the wool issue up to President Taft and there is mucb speculation as to what his course would be. Mr. Taft would make no comment on the situation. While the president in the past has denounced the present woolen schedule of the Payne-Aldrich law as indefensible, therd have been strong intimations from the white house within the last few weeks that he would not hesitate to use the veto on any tariff schedule passed in advance of reports from the tariff board. The acquisition of power by the democratic-insurgent combination today was the outgrowth of a similar coalition formed in June 21 to send the woolen bill to the finance committee, with instructions to report it back July 10th. The standlpat senators then admitted that their control of the uppers, house of congress had been broken and that they would no longer hold themselves responsible. The finance committee, shifting responsibility to the floor of the senate, re ported the bill back adversely the next day. Today those regular senators again showed their resentment in defeat and declared they would not serve on any committee of conference with the house of representatives. Ther*. is likelihood, therefore, that the conferees will be Senator Lafollette, in-

surgent republican, and Senators Bailey and Simmons, democrats. Senator Penrose, chairman of the finance committee, freely predicted today that President Taft would veto any wool measure that might come out of the conference. This statement will not ruffle the democrats, who announced that they would insist on a cut in rates far deeper than that proposed in the senate measure. The demqcratic leaders, in .fact, are said to believe that their position politically would be greatly strengthened if Mr. Taft vetoes the bill.
