MONON MAY REDUCE NUMBER OF TRAINS

Rumored at Lafayette That Passenger Trains Are to Be Combined From Monon to Chicago. A persistent rumor at Lafayette 4a to the effect that the Monon route will indulge in considerable curtailment in its passenger service in the near future, and in all probability a new schedule will go into effect Sunday, May 24th. ffhe plan, as rumored, is to go back to the old plan of combining the Louisville and Indianapolis trains at Monon, and running them singly hereafter. This will mean that trains Nos. 37 and 38 will be taken off at Monon and there will be only one northbound afternoon train and only one southbound morning train. This plan, if adopted, will be In extenuation otf the curtailment recently made at the shops in Lafayette* and the passenger train crews thus saved will be sent to freight service and the freight crews demoted as neeessary to complete the reduction.

Rowdies Caused Trouble At Sophomore Class Party.

It seems to take Rensselaer a long time to outgrow that shamefully (backwoods practice olf Its , rowdy element in annoying members of classes when they undertake to hold class parties, and several hoys, whose parents were probably not aware of their conduct committed acts at the home of W. C. Baibcock Friday evening that would justify their sentence to the county jail for a week or two. In fact, at Idaville, a-week ago, boys whose acts were not so bad were actually' sentenced to jail. The sophomore class of the high school held a patty, the annual class affair, at the home of 'Margaret Babcock, a member of the class. The party was only well In progress when several boys, young men in everything except conduct, appeared and began measures to tantalize the participants. They, used "Jimmies” to pry open the windows, and then nailed them open. They made an effort to steal the ice cream and other refreshments and. almost succeeded, and they threw water through a win- 1 dow and soiled the dresses of two or three of those present. Mrs. Baibcock, who tried to prevent them from pTying open a window, had one finger severely cut- with the “jimmy” in the hands of one of the rowdies. They congregated on the cellar door . and broke it through and their acts of depredation deserve the attention-of the officers. Finally they left after the nightwatch had been called for. The party, aside from the annoyances, was a very pleasant affair and the large class enjoyed ft very much. . i ;

LAST OF COLLEGE GYM BEING TORN DOWN

Debris Will Be Removed and New Structure Will Be Started—--7 Architect Was Here. The tearing down of the college gymnasium which was .wrecked by fire some six weeks ago has gone on lor three or four weeks and it Ser came necessary to use some dynamite this Saturday morning to complete the razing of the structure. The debris will be removed now, which will take' considerable time and then will start the rebuilding plans. The architect for the new structure was here earlier in the (week and it is understood the building plans, have been practically agreed upon. The entire building will not be erected this year, owing to the fact that the money required is niot forthcoming, Father Wagner, Who is looking after the rebuilding plans, made a trip to the headquarters of the society in Oarthagenia, Ohio, some ten days ago, and itTwas decided that not to exceed $65,000 could be appropriated for the building this year. It is estimated that the building which is needed will cost in excess of SIOO,OOO. It will be necessary, therefore, to build it only in part this year. - The loss of the gymnasium has been keenly felt at the college, and the students have had no place for recreation during the cool spring days and during the rainy weather.' The need of a gymnasium is more deeply impressed upon the faculty than ever before and every energy will be put forth to have the new building ready for use by the time the cold weather sets in next fall. I ~ The Republican understands that the proposed new structure is to be 70 feet in width by 200 feet long and ds to be four stories high, that is, the loops at the side are to be. four stories, but the gymnasium floors are to occupy the center, one above the other and to take the entire height to accommodate them. The swimming pool will not be built thus year, but the gymis and the music room will be complete. ./1.;.'..,;.... Contractor Frank Medland and foree from Logansport are tearing the old structure down. Mr. Med» land was the contractor for the remodeling of the old building and had the work almost completed when the fire destroyed the building.

REBELS IN WILD SEARCH FOR ARMS

Attitude of U. S. Regarding Embargo Causes Constitutionalist Agent to Act Quickly. V- -l V* . ’' • El Paso, Tex., May 15.—The attitude of the American administration with regard to the embargo on aims, caused tmmecyate activity along this section of the border, today. The shortage of ammunition has been recognized by those in close touch with constitutionalist affairs* t» be the greatest problem the government of northern Mexico had to face. i When the announcement came over the wires tonight that there was no prohibition against shipping arms and ammunition into Tampico, from the U. S., or elsewhere* there was an immediate exodus eastward of constitutionalists’ purchasing agents, and arms and ammunition salesmen, who hurried away to reach the point where they could come into closest touch with arms shipment. tfhe constitutionalist agents, according to well informed men along the border, were uncertain as to whether American arms companies -would sell their products to them. Although Tampico is open, it was said the most logical way to obtain ammunition for Villa, from foreign ports, was to transship the product to American manufacturers. It ha% been freely stated by the arms agents that a silent and tacit prohibition from the state department would prevent the sale of a single cartridge from the big makers, and would present a more effective embargo than the guards along the border. With the announcement tonight the problem of the constitutionalists is .solved, according to R/oberto V. Pesqueria, personal representative of (General Carranza. “We have understood from the first,” he said, “that the embargo was an order only of the war department. This makes it possible for us to enter vfaiat munitions of war we wish, through sea or gulf port as the navy has not placed an embaigo on Tampico. “I can say that the constitutionalist officials have little or nor fear of a blockade by the federal gunboats Bravo and Zaragoza. The vessels have not sufficient ammunition and could not establish a complete 'blockade, and I feel confident the commanders of the vessels wdll not attempt such a move.” Mr. Pasqueria said the constitutionalists had a large shipment oi French artillfery waiting to be moved into Tampico, which he thought would be landed. within a few days.

C The experimental stage of Republican classified ads passed long, long ago. We placed the rate at about half the price charged in most cities of this size. This made it possible to advertise the little things that otherwise would have been wasted. The result has been tremendously satisfactory to our customers and ourselves. We have established regular customers who have tried over and over again and who make a profit of many dollars by advertising the little things. We expect our classified column to continue to grow. It started with a quarter of * column and now it is almost two columns. Three classified advertisements have been telephoned to this office in the past half hour. We make a -ticket against you if you telephone the ad and collect later. Our phone number is 18. We like to have you call and hope to have you try advertising, believing you will become a regular customer. Call today. -, y
