About 2,000 pounds of mall war brought to the city and immediately removed to the main postofflce by two Urge mail trucks which were awaiting their arrival. Postmaster Robert Bryson was on hand to supervise the loading and unloading ol the mail.

Great numbers of the little ones are in constant attendance. Management Efficient The police headquarters at the fair reports a surprising decrease in 'the number of law violators, very few cases being reported "to them, and all are of a small consequence. The efficient management of this year's fair la said to play a large part in the good behavior of the crowds. Practically 500 jars of fruit, vegetables and glasses of jelly are included in the girls' canning club show, and more than a hundred dresses in the sewing club display. Judging has been completed, showing Fountain. Carroll. Hendricks and Bartholomew County girls most prominent winners.

ARMITAGEHURLS lEFI AT FACTION IN CpURJHQUSE Republican County Candidates Endeavor to Stifle Stories of Breach Among Nominees. BAD FEELING CROPS OUT Candidates Approve Organization Work of Freeman in Meeting Yesterday. While Republican county candidates moved today to stifle stories of a breach some of their number and County Chaliman William H. Freeman and William H. Armitage, chairman of the executive committee, Armitage issued a deft to those he considers opposed to him. Armitage said he understood some of the candidates, identified wi*h what he regards as a Courthouse faction as opposed to City Hall Republican leaders, wanted him to get off of the executive committee and stay away from county headquarters. “I was at headquarters yesterday. I am going to be there today and I am going to be there continuously until the campaign ends,” said Armitage. "I’m not going to move out of anywhere for anybody.” While the candidates deny open friction, friends of Armitage and Mayor Shank say Prosecutor William P. Evans’ attack upon Armitage and his brother. James E. Armitage, who resigned from the board of safety, has resulted in such bad feeling among the precinct workers friendly to the city hall crowd that it is difficult to get them to go ahead with registration work. The candidates met at the courthouse last evening, and, according to John W. Castor, candidate for re election as recorder and chairman of the nominees' organization, approved t'.e registration and organization work of County Chairman Freeman. Armitage men say they understand some of the candidates want to open headquarters and operate independently of Freeman’s county organization. Castor said this subject did not come up at the nominee's meeting. “We’re not going to do that, and are not thinking about’ it,” said Castor. Prosecutor Evans was not at the meeting. He denied he stayed away irr anticipation of action approving the Freeman Armitage organization work. “I had other business and I explained to the other candidates I could not lie there,” said Evans “Mr. Evans was kept away from the meeting by some Important investigating work,” said Castor.

Untaxed Competition May Force Traction Lines Out of Business, Says John McCardle

By ROBERT W. SPARKS. "Unless some legislative action is taken toward the taxation of motor trucks, which use the highways for transportation purposes, the majority of traction companies operating in the State of Indiana will go out of business," John W. McCardle, chairman of the public service commission, declared today. “With one possible exception all traction lines in the State are operating at a loss today,” he continued. Not only has the pleasure automobile made an Inroad on the traction companies’ revenue, but the motor truck has taken a large share of the short-haul traffic business In the past five years, and will continue to do so in an in*reaa*d ratio, statistics show.

Anna's Speed Is Terrific Around Divorce Courts Bp United News CHICAGO, Sept. 7. —You men who want to get married just once and stay that way—look out for Little Annie. That’s the advice of statisticians of the Circuit and Superior Courts here, who offer figures to show that girls named Anna get a great many more divorces than those with any other name, on an average of 360 times a year. Little Mary—that good old name—comes third in this respect, with an average of 192, being nosed out of second by Margaret, who attains 218 decrees. The safest girls, say the figure sharks, appear to be Anastasia and Penelope. Anastasia has done It about once in three years, while Penelope makes it annually.

The rescue work goes grimly on, but the workers are dispirited. No more “signal blasts” have been reported. Mine authorities have installed a geophone at the 4,800 foot level In the Kennedy mine. With this, they say, they can hear the sound if the buried men so much as tap a shovel against the rock wall. The mine issued its monthly pay checks four days ahead of time. Checks were given families of the buried. Will Roger:., movie star, wired SSOO to he divided among the miners’ families.

If the traction coiapanies should go bankrupt or otherwise go out of business, the lines which are now strung about the State could be used ns the basis of high tension transmis sion service with relay stations at intervals to supply whole towns and counties with electric energy. This would necessitate the abandonment of the track right-of-way and extension of the trolley lines, but may. some day, be the salvation of the present electrified system It untaxed competition Is permitted to exist.

Organization ofjieials refused to be quoted further. Members of the executive committee were formulating plans for Monday’s meeting. By United Press CHICAGO, Sept. 7.—Striking shopmen are making their supreme effort to gain a peace agreement with approximately fifty eastern and western railroads. Proposals offered to “strategic” lines were to be discussed at a meeting of the shopmen’s policy committee, called to meet here today or Monday. Railroad executives here continued to deny that a peace agreement with a group of the nation’s railroads had been reached, but indicated that such a settlement may result from the latest move. Would Force Others Into Line Acceptance of the compromise by these roads would force other roads into line, a high railroad official declared today. Jewell’s whereabouts were still a matter of conjecture today. The more powerful lines involved in the settlement were said to be the New York Central, the Baltimore & Ohio, the Northwestern, the Burlington, Northern Pacific and the Southern Pacific.

Discussions were understood to be scheduled for today between strike leaders or their representatives and a group of conciliatory railroad executives. Johnston's statements closely followed announcement In Chicago that the policy committee of the shop crafts had been called to meet there Monday. Negotiations Now Going On It was Indicated here that negoliations now going on or in prospect were expected to develop something for submission to the policy committee. While it thus was made clear today that anew peace move has been initiated, so closely were labor chiefs surrounded with secrecy, that not a hint was given of the terms suggested as a basis for settlement. It was made clear that “undue publicity was feared by both sides, as likely to endanger success of the movement.” Leaders Deny Direct Word I,abor leaders here said they had no direct word from Chicago relative to the meeting of the policy committee. But they assumed, they said, that the meeting was called on order of Bert M. Jewett, head of the striking shopmen. Jewell, whose whereabouts for some days have been a mystery, was reported to be on his way to Washington today. The general Impression here was that the strikers' leaders had agreed to discuss settlements with
