Lafayette and Bloomington Partisans in Indianapolis.

The proposition embodied in Senator Van Auken’s bill to consolidate Indiana and Purdue universities at Lafayette, has aroused the people of Bloomington and Lafayette to exercise every effort in their personal interests. Bloomington wants to keep the university and Lafayette wants it consolidated with Purdue We believe that educators believe that Indiana will have one of the greatest schools in the middle states if the consolidation can be effected. We believe that parents who are sending and who will in the future send their children to the big colleges of other states will send them to Lafayette if the two colleges can be combined. Some five hundred businessmen from Lafayette went to Indianapolis Monday, headed by Mayor Thomas Bauer and Congressmanelect Will R. Wood and Mr. Wood was main spokesman in presenting to the senators and representatives in a very effective way. Bloomington was also represented with & big delegation to present their claims. Lafayette has prepared, it is said, a scheme by which members of the faculty of Indiana and fraternities with houses in Bloomington will be partly reimbursed for their property losses if the consolidation is affected. It is proposed that the state normal school at Terre Haute might be moved to Bloomington to occupy the buildings vacated by the state univeroJty It will be a hard fight and there hardly seems time enough at this session of the legislature to accomplish it

FAMILY THE CAUSE OF M’COLLY’S RELEASE

Kankakee Township Man Who Choked Girl School Teacher Should Toe Mark in Future Henry McOolly, of Kankakee toivnship, can credit his release from jail to the fact that he has a big family who would be deprived of his support if he was kept In jail. He is the man who choked Miss Lulu Nelson, a young lady school teacher in the township where McOolly lives, because she would not let his children take from the schoolhouse books which were the property of the township and not the personal property of the McOolly children. When the case was called in the circuit court Monday McOolly pleaded guilty and was given a fine of $25. Prosecuting Attorney Hess recommended -> that pending good behaviour judgment be suspended and MeCqlly was released. This is some times wfth some people the best way to do and it is hoped McOolly has the ability to appreciate his good fortune and the manhood to change his attitude toward the school authorities. He is said to have been a menace to the schools for some time and to have assumed the roll of “bully” which was a common thing some fifty years ago. . Truant Officer Steward states that McOolly has kept his children out of school in violation of law and has been defiant In his attitude. He should not accept his good- fortune in escaping severe punihsment for his shameful assault on Miss Nelson as meaning that there will be any further excuses and he should be compelled to keep his children in sphool and to show the proper respect and demeanor to the teacher and school authorities. If arrested again for any similar offense his family’s needs should not stand in the way of him receiving appropriate punishment. o

Other cases in the circuit court are as follows: Arthur H. I&pkins vs, Nicholson & Nicholson et a! Action to foreclose chattel mortgage. J. A. Dunlap appeared for Nicholsons and P. R. Blue for Michael Jungels, who is made a defendant on account of having purchased some of the mortgaged property, consisting of com and other grain grown by Nicholsons on the Springer rach. The cause will be heard in the April term. Sanderfer vs. Jordan. Set for trial March 2. State vs. Zeigler. Defendant arrested and gives bond in sum of S2OO. Set for trial (March &. J. A.

Blue the defendant Caldwell in both case This action is for breach of warranty in deed from Boyle to Caldwell and Caldwell tp Michaels, on account of an assessment ol! oyer S4OO on Dexter diteh which was a lien on the land conveyed at the date of the execution of both deeds.

The argument occupied all Monday afternoon and the court announced that he would make his decision before close of this term. This is the case tried at the November term in which the plaintiff got a judgment of $10,750, for services rendered Isaac V. Speck covering a period of 14 years. American Agriculture Co. vs. Cochran.

M. L. Pass Victim of Yeggmen at McKenna, Wash.

McKenna, Wash., Feb. 14, 1915. Editors Republican: Even in these days of reform it seems difficult for any person to pass up a pass. Presumably this is the reason why yeggmen who blew open the safe otf the McKenna postofflce nailed a registered letter containing S4O of my hard-earned money. A man who can save S4O during a democratic administration ought to have a crown of roses (nix on the cross of gold and crown of thorns) but when he falls a victim of cracksmen he certainly has his oppression greatly multiplied. These yeggmen werp very considerate, they left my letter and bankbook but took the “cush.” I presume I will get it back, as this government ought to be good for S4O, but it will require enough red tape to stretch from here to the entrance of the exposition. Well, well, here’s the worst otf all. T am informed that my registration was only good for $25, for I am bound to lose sls of the amount I was sending to bank. Well, after a moment’s consideration, I expect that is about the per cent of loss that is reasonable to expect when the government ship is being steered by desciples of T. Jefferson et al. Here’s forgetting my fifteen and hoping for the gladsome day w r hen I can register my ballot for the dismissal of the present insum bents of the white house. Here’s hoping that four-fifths -of the population look upon things just as I do, and judged from what I can see out here there are no democrats left but postmasters. VMry respectfully yours, M. L. PASS.

FARMERS DEFY THE UTILJTIES BOARD

Baswell Fanners to Erect Co-Oper-ative Telephone System in Occupied Territory Boswell. Feb. 21.—Two hundred and fifty Benton coijhty farmers in the vicinity otf Boswell have declined to abide by a ruling of the public service commission of .Indiana and are proceeding to build a co-operative telephone line. Dissatisfied with what they considered to be the unsatisfactory service of the Boswell Telephone company, they started in to organize a cooperative farmers’ company and build a line of their own. The first attempt was before the coupty commissioners, who could not make any decisive order on account of lack of jurisdiction. Thft next was a hearing before the public utilities commission (for a franchise and the result decided that there was no occasion for a second telephone company in Boswell and ordered the old telephone company to make certain improvements and eliminate some concession phones which they have. The farmers proceeded with the organization of their company with the intention of building a line outside of Boswell and waiting for some future opportunity that would give them an entrance into that place. Upon the advice of Attorney Joseph B. Ross, of Lafayette, they proceeded to‘organize a company and issue stock. They are mow facing a suit by the utilities attorney, Bert New, under a statute which forbids the selling of public utility stock under a franchise and permit has been granted by the utilities commission. If convicted and the law upheld they are liable to a fine ranging from $lO to SI,OOO per day, but upon the advice of their attorney they are going ahead to construct the telephone line and have been erecting poles this week. ‘The farmers are only acting within their rights,” said Attorney Ross. ‘They have not been given proper service and they are going to build a rural line of their own. That section of the public utility law which prohibits the issuance of stock by a utility company that has not procured a permit is plainly unconstitutional and has been so held by the Minnesota courts and the supreme court of the U. Sy A few days ago we received notice from the commission that we could avoid prosecution under the statute by disbanding the.company and proceeding no farther with the project. But we are going ahead just the same and we will win out.”
