Vera Cruz Consul Has Jasper County Relatives.

The Indianapolis Star of last Saturday contained a picture of William W. Canada, U. S. consul at Vera Cruz, meeting the American Vice Consul John R. Silliman, as he reached Vera Cruz after his release from the Mexican prison at Saltillo. Mr. Canada ds a cousin of Mrs. H. E. Parison and Austin O. Moore, of this county. He is a native of Randolph county and was educated at the Indiana State Normal School. He practiced law for some years at Winchester. He has been a leader in republican politics of his home county and the state for many years. He was appointed consul at Vera Cruz in 1887. At that time Vena Cruz was not a desirable place to live, owing to the fact that (there were epidemics of yellow fever there. But of late years the sanitary conditions have been improved and other civic improvements inaugurated. Consul Canada has been called upon to take a prominent part in many of the international situations arising from the turbulent conditions in Mexico and it was his duty to look after the hundreds of refugees who were fleeing from Mexico through the /port of Vera Cruz. He seems to have been thoroughly qualified to handle the diversified requirements of his office.

Says Interurban On Street Is Valuable to Property.

These has been some objection to granting a franchise to the interurban for the use of Cullen street, on the theory that it Win be a detriment to property. Several who held this view in the first place have changed their minds and instead of opposing it are now directfavor of ft and will be disappointed if the interutban is not run on that street, crossing Washington street at the Makeever hotel. The writer has 'lost no opportunity to talk with people about the effect street cars and interurbans have cor property and experience seems to be that the property in front of which the oars pass is greatly -benefited instead of damaged. Delphi forced the Wabash Valley Traction company to skirt the edge of the town and this fact has proven a great disadvantage to business interests as well as to inconvenience to the public. Delphi people today wish that the interurban ran right through the heart of the town. Mr. L, J. Burdge, of Logansport, who is connected with the credit department of the International Harvester Co., comes to Rensselaer several times a year. He stated today that (he owns property in .Loganspoert right on the street car end interurban road and that his prop erty is valued ait SSOO more than property a block off the line and Otherwise of equal value. He-says that bis experience every place is the same. He stated that the hauling of freight cars through the streets off Logansport by the interurban is in no manner objectionable and that he likes to see it. He says that the advantage to Loganspotrt business interests in having the interurban run through the business district is inestimable. Business comes in abundance that would not eome if the cars simply skirted the outskirts and left the passengers from three to a dozen blocks to walk before they reached the stores.

The Republican believes that every residence property on Cullen street will be enhanced In value if the interurban is constructed over that street, and that Rensselaer should desire to make this road so attractive to (the people who will live along the route that they will want to come (here frequently. We may be a big city some day. We are located (right This railroad will help us and we want to have this road traverse the part of the town where the passengers will want to alight We can’t afford to be small or reactionary. Sixsevenths of the people of Marion township voted a subsidy tax for the road and we believe ninetynine hundredths of them want the road built and want the city council to grant a franchise that will bring the greatest advantage to our business interests. Cullen street is the logical route and is the very one the council should exact that the road be constructed on.

Boyd Porter returned to Valparaiso yesterday. Leo Myer, of Flora, is visiting his uncle, Dr. W. L. Myer. Leo Mecklenfberg, who attends St Joseph’s college, went to Chicago yesterday to receive treatment for his eyes. (Mr. and Mrs. Robert Sheets left this morning for their home in Chicago, after he bad spent several days here and she had been hers for the past Six weeks. Rat Miller, the Mt Ayr man against whom there are several indictments for the illegal sale of intoxicating liquor, is confined in Jail here, unabel to give bond. A salutary health hint for hot weather is to be careful hot to go ih water over your depth, if you can’t swim. Such a practice has a noticeable .tendency to shorten life. “Aunt" Sarah Watson continues very low at the home of John Kresler on Cullen street and there has been no improvement since yesterday. She is the widow of Charles Watson and is a sister of Mm KneeleL • Mias Ruth Wiltshire and Mrs. Gilbert Albtn and two babies we#t to Chicago yesterday to vdsit Mm.

SUMMER CAMP FOR STATE MILITIA

Indiana National Guard Will Bo Sent to Camp Dodge, lowa, AugnstlOth to 20th. 1 Army .maneuvers will be minimised this year because -the regular troops are so generally in use along the Mexican border, and the camps will be largely confined to the militia, with perhaps a company of regulars at each maneuver eamp. The war department has announced the dates and places tor holding the various summer camps and Indiana tor the first time since the maneuvers at West Point, Ky., will be sent out of the state They will encamp at Fort Dodge, lowa, August 10th to 20th, inclusive. The big war games planned earlier in the year have been abandoned, owing to the fact that the army has been so busily engaged in the Mexican matter. Colorado troops will not go into eamp this summer, because of the fact that they were on duty in the strike district for so long. The novelty of going out of the state for the camp will be pleasing to the militia organizations of Indiana and should inspire many enlistments. 7 ~ —~

Dan Simms, democrat, was among the first speakers, and Isaac S. Wade, Prohibitionist, also (bore testimony to his high regard for his fellow townsman, saying that if a prohibitionist is not to represent this district he would favor his neighbor and trend, Senator Wood.

Several other counties in the district were represented by speakers who paid high tribute to the nominee, and Judge Babb, of Logansport, and John C. Wingate, of Montgomery county, though outside of the tenth district, contributed their heartfelt endorsement and congratulations and Joined in general enthusiasm of the hour.

Senator Wood responded, with feeling to the hearty demonstration to his behalf, saying he would rather have the friendship and esteem shown him at that meeting than to be elected to the highest office. He pledged himself, if elected, to be •the representative of the people, "but whether elected or defeated,” said he, “words cannot express the gratitude I hold for the honoi; shown me tonight, and it to a treasure I shall always prize.” Following the speaking the guests repaired to the club case, where luncheon was served.

Republicans Surprised at High Vote Cast in Primaries.

Bedford, Ind., June 9.—Republican workers of Lawrence county could hardly believe their own eyes when the totals-of last Saturday’s primary were footed up and showed a total of 1850 votes cast In the 1912 primary, held in February before an open division had materialized in republican ranks, the total republican vote in this county was but 1500. In 1912 there were a number of contests for the nominations, while this year there were but few contests for nominations; the primary in 1912* was held at a time when the voters could easily take the time to go to the polls; the primary this year was held when the farmers were very busy with their work. The republican vote in the recent primary showed a gain over the republican vote at the presidential election in 1912 of 18 per cent. “The primary vote in Lawrence county was 300 in excess of the primary vote of 1912 before dissension arose in our ranks,” said Chairman Allen of -the republican county committee. ‘The showing is little short of remarkable when it to taken Into consideration that this to the farmers’ busy season. We are feeling fine over the showing and we will now start in on our task of putting Lawrence in the republican column with determination. This primary vote means that the voters want the G. O. P. returned to power.”
