SUPREME COURT MAY BE CULLED IJJ SPECIAL SESSION

'tflMES EL'REAV. Jlt States Capital. INDIANA PC LIS, Ind., July 11. It is Vheved here that a meeting of the supreme court of Indiana, called as a special conference of the court, may be lie 14 some time next week. Several of the, judges of the court were in Indionapolis yesterday attending the meeting of the Indiana Ear Association, and following their visit here the (.pinion prevailed that the FO"c!fiI ssflin of the court might ho called within the next week or ten days. There are several cases that the court has under advisement which are of statewlie interest, and o'hers that are of reculiar local interest, and it is believed that if a special session of the body Is called some action may be looked for in some, cases. Nope of the judges who attended the meeting of tho bar fessoclatioa here yesterday would discuss the details of the possibility of the Epecial ca'l. but it was known at the tima the court adjourned for the Slimmer vacation sottv; time ago that if the necessity arose a special metingr r,f the court might be held to dispose of whatever matters individual members of the court might have to present. One of the c-as-s th.it has been before

l:i which the constitutionality of the s-;ate highway commission law is attacked. This Tvas an appeal from a Hamilton county court rullns, wherein the local court held the highway lawunconstitutional. Since that time, the state highway commission has taken practically no action towards further r.rsanization of its work and has disbanded practically its entire force of workers, pending action by the supreme con rt. Another case now before the court in-volvt-s the right of the. public service :ornmispkn to assume Jurisdiction over the appeal of the Indianapolis Traction and Terminal Company, which sought to abolish si.-for-a-quarter fares in Indianapolis. It is reported here that a meeting; of the board of trustees of the Indiana Reformatory win be held In this city. pi"b;ibly- next "Wednesday, at which time a successor to Major D. C. Feyton. the present superintendent, will be selected. ;. A. Jf. Phide'.-r of Marion, superintendent of the Indiana Hoys' School, is the man to be selected for the place, nr.d Jesse II. Tlsehhach of "Warsaw is heir:g mentioned as the possible successor to Shideler. F.alph Howard, assistant superintendent of the state farm.

These Influences were demanding the building of the car line on One Hundred end Forty-first street, because, cs one man frankly admitted, he had forty acres of land that would be benefitted by the extension. Council Held It Tip. Th Baldwin management, however, insisted on the granting of franchises over routes now- in operation. There vqs ft deadlock. The council held up the Green Line's franchise for many valuable week?. Finally business conditions chanced. The money tightened up, the parte of 1P14 was approaching. Finally the big business interests of East Chicago sav the danger of losing the, F.aldwin and council members were told that they would havn to pass the necessary franchises or suffer the consequences. The measure was finally passed but it was too late. The changing business conditions of the. country changed the plans of tho Baldwin management and the Kast Chicago project was abandoned for the time. Works Would bs Built.

No sooner did its attorney appear hefore the, council with the necessary franchise than ho was met with hostility from many sources. One would have suspected that a fine lnterurban line would be a great detriment to the city. Many property owners living on Indinna avenue announced that the new interurban line would have to stop at eery street corner or they would oppose the franchise. Another Council Was Off. The argument was made thit an interurban line is not like a street railway and could not make time by such frequent stops. Other objections were made, among them the fact that the new line proposed to carry freight. This was strenuously objected to by the property ow ners. Then hostility developed in the council. Every alderman wanted the line to go over some street in which ho was interested. It was selfish views that prevailed Instead of the interests of the ei t y. Finally F. J. Lewis Meyer, the attorrey for the road who had the franchise matters in hand became disgusted and abandoned the effort to route the line through the down town district. Charged Bribery Openly. He openly made tho charge that bribes had been sought by the grey wolves of the council. He declared that

RUSSIA IS WAKING UP

WASHINGTON. July 11. A sudden awakenmsr of Ilussla to the danger of German invasion is adding zest to the American-Allied plans for aid to Russia. It ! admitted that much of the success of the econcmic commission plus a police propaganda force of sol-

! diers depends upon how the Russians ; rally to its standards. Success to the j ' 'zei ho-Si ivaks and the w elcome teni dered theru bv the people there, the revr.it of I'kra'ne against German oppr"ss!on and tho co-operation of Rusj siar.s on the Murman coast with Mtirjman coast with Allies are regarded j a.t most encouraging. Phould the rzecho-?lovaks meet with . defeat hnwever. the problem would be

serious. The allies are counting on them for "emergencies." These possibilities merely emphasize the difficulty confronting the Allies.
