THE JUDICIAL SITUATION AS NEWTON COUNTY SEES IT

The race for the Republican nomination for Judge of the Thirtieth Judicial Circuit, comprising the counties of Newton and Jasper, promises to become interesting in view of the fact that there are six candidates in the field. , Jasper county has five candidates. Those seeking the nomination from that county are George A. Williams, Moses Leopold,. Abraham Halleck, J. A. Dunlap and Emmet M. Laßue, all good lawyers and legally competent to fill the place if nominated. The sixth candidate is R. R. Cummings of Newton county. Mr. Cummings did not make the announcement of his candidacy until last week, in the belief that the Jasper county candidates would get together and center on one man, and in that event —Jasper being the larger of the two counties —there .would be little chance for a Newton county man to win. On the other hand Mr. Cummings points out the fact that in the past sixty years, or since the organization of Newton county, there has one Judge elected from this county. The first Judge to serve this circuit was. Charles H. Test of Indianapolis, his term running from 1860 to 187 Q. Following Judge Test came David R. Vinton of Lafayette, from 1870 to 1873; Edwin P. Hammond, Rensselaer, from 1873 to 1883; Peter H. Ward, Newton county, from 1883 to 1890; Edwin <P. Hammond, Rensselaer, 1890 to 1892; Ulric Z. Wiley, Fowler, 1892 to 1896; Simon P. Thompson, Rensselaer, 1896 to 1902; Charles W. Hanley, Rensselaer, three terms, from 1902 to 1920. From this showing it would appear that Newton county has a strong claim for the place, the tice of which must be recognized by all, and Mr. Cummings has received much encouragement to enter the race. , _ . . As all the candidates stand fairly equal as to qualifications the claim of Newton county will doubtless be given due consideration by the voters. Mr. Cummings has entered on an active campaign and is asking the support of his friends. —Newton county Enterprise.

NEW FUEL FLUID SURPASSES OIL

St Louis, Mo., April 15.—(Special) —Colloid chemistry, dealing with substances composed of units too small to be seen separately with the naked eye, yet larger than molecules, was a special order on the program of the American Chemical society at its closing session today. A new fuel fluid of greater heat value 4 per unit than either coal or fuel oil, and hence particularly valuable as a. fuel for steamships and battleships, giving them a wider cruising radius, was described during the discussion of colloids in a paper by Jerome Alexander, a New York chemist, which was read by Dr. Harry N. Holmes of Oberlin college, chairman of the National Colloid Research council. The paper declared the new fuel utilizes coal waste and cheap tars, these ingredients being dispersed in fuel oil by colodial action, and that the addition of a certain fixing agent, whose nature is kept secret, results in a fuel which combines the valuable qualities for heating of both oil and coal. Peat, lignite, cellulose waste, sawdust, and similar • inferior fuels may be utilized in the new process, Prof. Alexander declared. He said that the new fuel could be piped, stored, and burned virtually as fuel oil is, and that as a fuel for steamships it is virtually double the value of either coal or present forms of fuel oil. He also declared the new fuel to be very valuable for laying smoke screens in warfare.

ABSENT VOTERS BALLOTS.

* Requests for absent voters ballots are already being received at toe clerk’s office. This reveals that the absent voters are bearing the primary in mind and are wanting to have a voice in it. The election commissioners suggest that it again be announced that no registration of voters is necessary for the primary. If you will be entitled to vote in the general election next November, you are entitled to vote in the primary. The registration has nothing whatever to do with it.

DISSENSION IN NEWTON?

Says the Morocco Courier: “In our next issue we hope to print a complete, list of candidates to be voted on at the May primary. With characteristic nerve, Kentland is making a 4 bid for almost every available office on both tickets, and seek to clothe their ambitions with a mantle of county unity. There was no county unity in evidence when we sought to get a state highway through this end of the county. We got nothing but opposition from Kentland.”

ELIAS ARNOLD RETURNS FROM VISIT IN CALIFORNIA

Elias Arnold, who has been spending the past two months in California, arrived home Thursday night. In the return he stopped off in Texas for a visit with W. N. Pence, formerly of this county. While in Texas he visited the oil fields and was so well impressed with the chance for making money in the oil fields there that he invested in stock in the Texas-Louis-iana & Gulf Oil Co., of which Mr. Pence is the secretary-treasurer. This company holds leases in the Homer and other fields of Louisiana, the Pecos field of Texas and the Tularosa Basin of New Mexico, all proven oil fields of immense richness. Their leases are surrounded with paying wells and the company will shortly begin drilling a well on' their Texas lease. Mr. Arnold says enough natural gas is going to waste in the Texas field to supply a great part of the United States with air the heat needed fbr a long time. There being no market there for the gas, it is piped away from the wells and allowed to go to waste in the air.
