aT try to prevent it

JOHN EVANS SAYS THAT HOOSIER HAS OFFERED TO BUY HIM OUT, BUT HE WON'T SELLOTHERS HAD OFFERS.

The factory owners on North Four- , teenth street, between the railroad and North F street, are up in arms over the proposition of the American Seedlnf Machine Company which was submitted to the city for closing that portion of North Fourteenth street. It is probable that they will saon get together and devise some plan of action for fightinK the scheme. Proprietor John Evans, of the Quaker City Machine Company, stated yesterday that the closing of North Fourteenth street would mean a big loss to him and that he was against the plan, first, last and all the time. "My factory is located right on the railroad, so that it is not necessary for me to do any hauling," he stated "and if the street is closed I will be forced to move and there is no other site in town that would answer my purpose. Fourteenth street is the only outlet I have and in the event of the street being closed I would be Bhut in hereand the value of my property would depreciate over fifty' per cent," Carr Asked Evans to Sell. Ho stated that President Carr of the American Seeding Machine Company had asked him so submit figures with an end In view of selling the property, but that he had not done so and probably would not. Proprietor Wm. N. Gartslde, of the Diamond Clamp and Flask Company, 638 North Fourteenth street, said that he was very well satisfied with the location of his plant and that he did not desire to move. Mr. Gartslde further stated that Mr. Carr had asked him for a price on his plant and that he intended to name it, but that in caso tha property was not purchased ho would expect damages from the Seeding Machine Company. Mr. Gartslde stated that the Dllle & McGulre Lawn Mower Company, which Id located on North Thirteenth street Just back of his shop, was rapidly crowding the Diamond Clamp and Flask Company out, owing to their more rapid growth, and that at the present time, he was renting to them the second floor of his factory building. "It will only be in the course of a short time when the Dille & McGuire people will need more room," said Mr. Gartslde, "and I will then be in a position to sell my plant, but if Fourteenth street is closed my property will greatly decrease in value." J. E. Jones Is Worried. Proprietor J. E. Jones of the Advance Company, machine repair shop. Is greatly worried over the plan of the American Seeding Company. At the present time he is building a large addition to his shop, but if the street la closed he will be obliged to seek another location. "It would not bo so bad to sell out to a private concern, but I do not like to see a corporation try to crowd out other people," said Mr .Jones. He was asked if he had received an offer from the American Seeding Machlno Company, and he stated that he had not yet been approached. Don't Affect Dille and McGuire. 'The officials at the Dille & McGuire . Company stated that they were not prepared at the present time to give out any statement, but that they intended to announce what position In the matter they would take, in a shor. time. The Dille & McGuire people are not dependent alone on Fourteenth street for an outlet from their factory, as they have outlets on Thirteenth street and on North F street. It is understood that this concern would not greatly object to having Fourteenth street closed.

NOT DECIDED ON ACTION

EMPLOYERS ARE RETICENT Factory Owners Do Not Care to Discuss DemanJs Made on Them by Moulders, But It Is Understood Thty Are Willing to Compromise.

Just what action "will be taken by the officers In the local factories which are affected by the demands recently made by the local moulders' union for an increase in the wage scale from $2.60 to $3.00 per day, has not yet been announced. Several of these officials were asked yesterday what action they would take in the matter, but their answers were vague and indefinite. President Howard Campbell, of the Gaar, Scott & Company, stated that the demand had been received, but that no decision had been reached. He was asked if the Wayne Works, Gaar, Scott & Company, Richmond City Mill Works, Hoosier Drill and Robinson & Company intended to get together and reach some decision. He replied that he knew nothing of such an arrangement and thought that no conference would be held. Just what the time limit the moulders have set on receiving an answer to their demand, is not known, but it is the general impression that some answer will be given them by their employers shortly. It is thought that a compromise will be suggested and probably accepted on the part of the moulders.

Party of Big Traction Line Officials Inspect the Road and Would Like to Own it If the Price Were a Shade Lower.

Palladl im Spetlai. Indianapolis, Ind., May 11. A party of traction magnates yesterday made an inspection trip over several of the interurban lines. In the party were: Charles O. Lenz, H. H. Porter, Leo. A. Phillips and Samuel B. Thompson, of New York; E.W.Rollins and George D. B. Green, of Boston; W. Kesley Schoepf and J. B. Foraker, Jr., of Cincinnati, and Hugh McGowan, of this city. Particular attention was paid to the Dayton & Northern, which has practically passed into the hands of the Widener-Elkins syndicate. The Dayton & Western, running from Dayton to Richmond, Ind., was also inspected. The syndicate has long had envious eyes on this line, but the price, said to be $3,000,000 is thought to be a barrier. The magnates declined to talk about the object of their inspection other than to say that they wished merely to see the condition of the various lines. Leaving Muncle last evening, the party went to Dayton, where the members last night attended a circus.

THE SIOUX INDIANS SUE

ASK AN INJUNCTION WRIT

Shock at Petersburg.

Palladium Special. Petersburg, Ind., May 11. Two distinct earthquake shocks were felt here at 12:50 a. m. today. Buildings shook so violently that people jumped from their beds. The second shock followed the first at an interval of forty seconds. A vivid flash, similar to lightning, and a low, rumbling noise from the west, preceded the first shock.

Th3 prize of $23, which was offered to the students of Earlham by the Misses Mary and Frances Seabury, of New Bedford, Mass., for the best essay on "International Peace and Arbitration," has been divided by the faculty of Earlham .into two prizes, one of fifteen dollars and the other of ten. The faculty has also seen fit to make the essays in the form of orations, and the contest will be held on this subject, February 1, 1907. The winner of this contest will represent Earlham in theinter-state contest to be held in Cincinnati in April or May of .1907. It is thought that at least $100 will be awarded in prizes at this contest. This will stimulate interest in the preliminary contest. It was announced yesterday in chapel that a gentleman had offered $100 to be distributed to the Qebaters and orators of the college just as the faculty saw fit. This in addition to the Cogwill prize of $30, will stimulate interest in the State contest, as it has neve rbeen before. With two preliminaries and two state contests, in oratory for next year, there is no reason why Earlham should not turn out a winning orator next year.
