Judge Sustains Fire Prevention Officials.

The fire marshal won the first case in which he appeared before a court to assist an Indiana city in the enforcement of a section of its ?*, building ordinances. The case wtas that of Francis L Stultz,«owner of the Home Hotel building at Huntington, against the city of Huntington. The fire marshal had ordered Bred Bippus, former owner of the hotel, to tear down the structure, since i t was a fire hazard. Bippus failed to comfily and sold the building to tultz, who immediately started to move the structure from its former location to another site, also within the city fire limits. Because the Huntington ordinance stated that no property owner could move a wooden structure already within the city fire limits, so another site within the limits, city officials Interfered with the movng of the hotel. Stultz at once brought suit to enjoin the city from interfering, stating to the cqjirt that he intended to repair the structure and erect a. 'building of brick and concrete. The city officials asked the fire marshal to assist them in the case, in accordance with the fire marshal lew Judge Paulus, of Marton, . ruled that the city could not be enjoined from Interfering with the removal of the building and sustained the fire marshal and city officials throughout The rultog is regarded as another victory tor fire prevention, and will mean the reduction of building hazards in Indiana cities, according to the fire marshal.

Again thanking you and the progressives of Madison county, I am with best wishes, Very truly, JAMES O. LEE.” Charles S.

SEEK TO BLOCK OUR INTERURBAN PROJECT

Warner T. and Blanchard Elmore Of Remington, Appeal Tax Collection Order. , Warner T. Elmore and son, L Blanchard Elmore, of Remington, through their attorney, Moses Leopold, prayed and were granted an appeal by the commissioners o: Jasper county against an order placing the interurban tax subsidy on the collection docket. The Elmores own some land in Marion township. They both reside in Remington and the former has not only taken a very active part in defeating the proposition to vote a subsidy in Carpenter township, but is now associated with the project that C. L. Brown and M. A. Peoples ate working and which has shown no greater strength so far than an effort to defeat the lindiana Northwestern Traction Co. Attorney Leopold, who represents the Elmores, is the city attorney for Rensselaer and has shown some activity against the granting of a franchise by the city to the Indiana Northwestern Traction Co. The action of the Elmores comes with very bad grace, Inasmuch as it presents antagonism toward this city and township, where 85 per cent of the voters supported the subsidy. The tax aid voted was 2 per cent, but only 1 per cent was ordered collected this year, based upon the 1913 assessment This order has been delayed pending the appeal by the Elmores. The action is not apt to even delay the collection, as it will probably be disposed of at the September term of the circuit court It might, however, interfere with the sale of bonds, by which means the promoters expect to secure the money to begin construction. The loyalty Of our people to the interests of this community should not falter in the least by the methods which are inspired by jealousy or in the Interest of some other proect. Rensselaer needs an interur>an railroad and needs it badly, The men who are behind the Indiana Northwestern Traction Co. have acted on the square and deserve the hearty co-operation of our people and we are convinced that public sentiment is backing them and that the opposition which is being made at this time win amount to little more than the snarling of a phlst at the heels at An elephant. Now is the time for our people to push with vigor. Don’t be dissuaded from the support of this project on the very threshold of its accomplishment Let those who are identified with the retrogressive crowd of knockers do their hammering, but those who are really interested In Rensselaer should and do unanimously favor the hasty construction of the Interurban, ;he granting of the franchise and the fulfillment of the subsidy which was voted by such an overwhelming majority.

FRANCE WILL TREAT COLONEL AS EX-RULER

Roosevelt Will Be Furnished With Special Permit Given Only To Few. Paris, June 2.—The French government decided today to treat Colonel Theodore Roosevelt in the same way it does former rulers and furnish him with a special permit, authorizing him to pass , through the police lines at all times on his journey through France on the way to Madrid to attend the wedding otf his son, Kermit, with Miss Belle Wyatt Willard. Many classifications of-these special passes are issued to, diplomats and others, but all are limited in regard to the privileges accorded except the white permit, given only to visiting rulers and ex-rulers and members of royal families. This Is the kind which is to be handed to Colonel Roosevelt. Gabriel Hanotaux, former French foreign minister, is making arrangements to give a luncheon Saturday in honor of Colonel Roosevelt unless the visitor is obliged to hasten to Madrid. A letter written by the colonel before his departure from the United States indicated he desired to proceed to Madrid by the first train after his arrival in Paris. The members of the Roosevelt party will be guests of Myron T. Herrick, American ambassador, if they stay there.
