Legislature News. indianapolis March 4—An analysis of measures passed by the legislature and signed by the governor previous to- Saturday night- show that of the thirty-five laws, seventeen are purely local, eight are expenditure measures, and-the remaining ten are of minor nature. 3 Not a single state-wide measure of major importance is jincluded in the whole bunch. ‘ Four bills have been signed providing for increases in salaries, three call for additionl courts, and then the $lOO,OOO appropriation for the expense of the legislature completes the expenditure bills this far passed. The most important new law is the Bennet bill providing that the state and not the counties must maintain detours used when state roads are being -built or repaired. Representative P. Curtis Bennett Dillshoro was th author of the measure.

Every effort of a strong minority in the two houses to put through a program of constructive legislation affecting utilities, economy, election reforms, taxation, and needed changes in present laws has been blocked at every turn.

. Representative Edward P. Eagles, Noble County, has been one of leaders of the group seeking to break the legislative control of Clyde Walb, Republican State Chairman, and George Coffin, Indianapolis political boss, whose every influence has been detrimental to legislation for the masses.

‘The effort of this group to create more political jobs and increase salaries, to destroy the primary system and again return to a boss controled convention, to protect opulent campaign contributors and to reward for past donations has been blocked by Eagles and his associates in the House, while the reactionary Senate politicians have succeeded in blocking legislation of a constructive nature. The Noble representative has stood four square against boss control and special interest domination.

Badly Burned.

Richard Green wood 23 of Fort Wayne was probably fatally injured Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock when hé came in contact with a high tension wire at the Spy Run plant of the Indigna Service corporation and 4,400 volts of electricity went through his body. F

Gréenwood employed as a lineman by the traction company was working on a 35-foot pole when two of the wires became crossed and the flash from the connection severely burned him about the face and shoulder and threw him to the ground. In falling he became tangled in the wires and received a second shock as he struck the ground:: His clothing was practically burned from his body on his left side, and his face and chest were so severely seared that flesh fell from them as he was being rushed to the St. Joseph’s hospital in an ambulance.

RYSN e el 4R A e O AT TP S T T ' EmY GO_K'!;BOL OF BOYS ; H. D. Miller Stresses Need for Starting - Right in Training at » : Elks Event, The Connersville News printed the following item concerning a former Noble County boy: . An address by Harry D. Miller a member of the faculty of the senior high school on the subject, “Boys”, was a feature of the Fellowship banquet held by Connersville Lodge, No. 379, B. P. 0. Elks last night at their club rooms. Seventy members attended the banuget the meeting, proving to be one of the most successful ever held. s Mr. Miller pointed out the importance of starting right in the training of boys, shgwing the necessity of securing early control if they are to become useful citizens. He" stated that the new psychology makes a difference between boys and men as against the old theory and expressed the opinion that the latter day belief is correct.

Boys around the age of 14 are unreliable the gpeaker said and it is then that they need kind, helpful advice. Generally it is said, that a boy at the age mentioned is unaccountable and the speaker said that the fact that they do things that men wouldn’t do proves the truth of the new theory that there is a difference. He advised agoainst harsh tréatment of boys, but said that one must be firm in his ccunsel. His experience in school work is that coercion is the best method to gain control and early action generally means success in bringing out the best ‘in the youth. . ‘ ‘

Mr. Miller is a brother of Mrs. Lelia Smith, Mrs. John Kirkland and Mrfg. Myron Kirkland of this city and also of Sol Miller of Syracuse.

February Warmest in Twelve Year. George W. Kinnison writing in the Goshen News-Times says: Last month was the warmest February in Goshen in twelve years. Records showed that the daily mean temperature was above normal. The lowest mark was 16 above on the 10th. ;

It was also, comparatively, the sunniest month since June. Every month in the interveming period had less than the normal amount of sunshine, but February showed five per cent above normal. e

The question now comes what will the month of March be as compared with February. From the way it has started out if continued there will be a poor month ahead for making maple syrup. No one can fortell the coming March weather.

State Sues to Collect License Fees The state of Indiana, through Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom, has begun suit to collect gasoline fees from H. C. Crawford of Churubusco. The plaintiff states that Crawford is engaged in selling gasoline at Churubusco to purchasers for purposes other than resale and that under the law he is required to make a verified: statement of the total number of gallons of gasoline sold on or before the 15th of eachmonth. The state alleges the license fee amounting to $489.72 wers due for the sale of gasoline. The state also asks for the appointment of a receiver for Crawford, alleging that he is on the verge of becoming a bankrupt.

IS WORLD’S GREATEST BANK

Lioyd’s Total Now Mounts Up to No Less Than Five Hundred Mik lion Dollars.

With its recent acquisition of the ' Wilts & Dorset Banking company, Lloyd’s bank of London becomes probably the greatest financial corporation of its kind, as its deposit and cur rent account now aggregates more than $500,000,000. ; L Lloyd’s bank has a history extending over a long period of years, as the private bank out of which it was formed was established in 1865, and the present banking corporation was formed in 1865. Including its latest acquisition, the bank has absorbed no less than 48 other banking housés since 1865, and of these 35 were private banks, one of these dating back to 1677. The bank is represented in 46 out of the 52 counties in England and Wales, and a subsidiary company was formed in 1911 to open a branch in Paris, an old French private banking house being taken over. ' It is unusual for an English joint ‘stock bank to organize a subsidiary for doing business in a foreign country, but this plan had to be adopted. Under the French law, to conduct a banking business in Franc/g; would have rendered the entire capital of the bank, no matter where located, subject to taxation. In all, Lloyd’s bank now has 880 separate offices. While an incorporated bank, the traditions of the private banking days yet remain, and practically every.official.of the bank and its branch managers were educate% in private banking houses, and preference is always given to men so educated in taking on new employes.—Wall Street Journal.

FEAR TO TRUST THE MARRIED

Men in High Place Give the Best Po. siticns to the Bachelors, for ~ ‘Ungallant Reasons.

The- stars in tieir courses seem to be fighting against the married man, says the San Francisco Argonaut. It appears that he is now to be discriminated against on the ground that he is certain to impart trade secrets to his wife, who, as we all know, is equally certain to impart them in her own peculiar ways to the world at large. The latest employer to join this unholy league against the married man, and thus to increase the natural perils of his position, is Sir Thomas Lipton. His only chance to win the America cup is to preserve inviolable secrecy as to the design of his new yacht, and he is therefore rigid in his decision that only bachelors need apply for work in his yard. . Another impenitent offender in this respect is Lord Kitchener, who not only refuses to have any married man on his staff in time of war, but who promptly removes from his staff any officer guilty .of matrimony during active service.. It seems, therefore, that the old charge against women of inability to keep a secret must be enlarged. Not only are they themselves incapable of keeping a secret, but they decline to allow their husbands ta do so. : :

Uncle Sam Will Test Your Watch.

Regular testing of watches for the pubdic was inaugurated by the United States bureau of standards recently, thus taking up the testing and certification of watches in a similar manner to that carried on by the Kew observatory in England, the Besancon observatory in France and the Geneva and Neuchatel observatories in Switzerland. Preliminary tests upon the various types and makes of American watches have already been made, the results of which have been the modification of European testing niethods and the establishment of certain standards of tolerances for practical service. The possession of a government certificate will enable the owner of a “certified watch” to know that he has a timepiece which conforms to the average and reasonable performances; of high-grade adjusted: watches. The: fees for tests will .merely cover the actual cost of thé trials.

Terrible Misfortune. : “They are shifting. consuls on _ the merit system,” said - Jerome S. MecWade, the Duluth: cpllector. “Here's a man in Shanghai at $4,500 getting shifted to Barcelona at $3,000. Another consul with a Warsaw job at $4,000 is shifted on the merit system to Fiume at $3,000. A few mare such ‘'shifts, and where will the poor fellows land? : *“‘Shifting consuls on the merit system’—that’s a good way to express it. It reminds me of Bilson.’ “‘Have you heard of the terrible misfortune that has befallen Bones? Bilson said to me. : “‘No!” Isaid. ‘No!’ ; ".‘Bones, poor fellow, said Bilson, ‘has eloped with ‘my wife’” =

i Earth’s Unfortunates. Sing Sing’s prison newspaper,: the Star of Hope, notes the recently, published bulletin of the.census bureau ‘that 493,934 persons were committed to prison in the United States in 1910, 14,147 of them children. If five persons ~were affected directly 'and disastrous1y by the commitments, 2,500,000, people, or one in 40 -of the, country’s inhabitants, suffered because some one close to them went to prisom.

Charles “Doc” Riter, who hag W‘! i_turne& on foot to Huntington from Tampa, Fla, alded by sympathetic motorists declared that anyone who will offer to buy gasoline can gat all kinds of chances to come north from Frorida. : : Acording to Riter, who went broke, in Tampa a little over a week ago, many who do not possess sufficient money to buy gasoline are making their way north in the same manner with signs, “Give me a lift” attached te their backs. . ; Mr. Ritter decided to return to Huntington about a week ago, and after observing many start on foot, decided to start the method himself.- He declared that many motorists had ma chines but no money to buy gas.
