SUNDAY FISHING

TO BE AL Prosecutor Jessup Says That He Will Be Lenient with Sunday Fishermen. A. STATUTE FORBIDS IT IT WILL NOT BE ENFORCED IN THIS COUNTY, HOWEVER, BECAUSE PROSECUTOR THINKS MEN 8H0ULD HAVE REST. Many Inquiries In regard to the Sunday flan laws are being heard on all sides and this spring, since the finny tribes have begun to nibble at the bait, the many followers of the sport of angling are wondering how safe it Is to go out along the river for a little stroll. There is a statute which forbids Sunday fishing in thi3 state and those who Indulge can, under the law, be prosecuted. In Wayne county, however, it is afe to say that there will be no prosecutions. Wilfred Jessup the County Prosecuting Atorney, stated yesterday that he could see no harm or Infraction of the law when a man went out and fished in the regular way with hook and line, on Sunday. His argument was along the line of a man's needed recreation. Mr. Jesup stated that 95 per cent of the people who like to fish have no opportunity to do so on any day other than Sunday. They could go at night, but then they should have rest, not recreation. He said that if any complaints came In, he would recommend that there be no prosecutions unless the offender was guilty of more than merely fishing and conducting himself in an orderly manner. Must Remain Orderly. Many people like to go with their families and spend the day along the river banks in different parts of the county, fishing and picnicking. As long as they do not get intoxicated and disorderly, the law will not interfere with the sport in this city. Prosecutor Jessup explained his statement by saying that he is trying to enforce the laws as they are meant to be enforced according to his interpretation. On his own responsibility he Is allowing Sunday fishing as long as the fishermen do not disobey other statutes. He ea:d that he felt as if he were acting consistently in this matter and would refrain from prosecutions as mucn as possible. He said that he is not a "blue law" man and to keep, people in the city every day In the week would be the same as closing on Sunday all drug stores, M A t .

GRAND JURY BEGINS WORK

EXAMINE TURNKEY HARRIS Known That Jurors Are Investigating the Escape of John Locke It is Said Alleged Laxness at Jail Will be Looked Into. The first day of the special session of the April term grand jury was spent in a steady grind, and from the time the jury convened yesterday morning, until night, several persons were admitted to the private room and gave their testimony. The case which is being investigated is the escape of John A. Locke from the county jail, and among the important witnesses was Turnkey Ray Harris, of the county jail. This case will probably occupy several days, as neither Mrs. Locke or Charles Ludlum, the two persons who are suspected of having known about Locke's escape and who are now under arrest, were given a chance yesterday to testify. From all appearances, the special session will be a busier one than the first meeting, in April. Besides the escape of Locke it is understood that the jury will Investigate the alleged lax condition of affairs at the county jail. In delivering his Instructions, Judg Fox asked the jury to be as expedient as possible for their own good. He told them to go to work under the direction of Prosecutor Jessup, and do such work as he advised.

EL TILS COUNCIL OF TRIP Ex-Councilman Picked Up Many Valuable Points from His Visit to Germany. MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT OVERHEAD WIRES, STREET IMPROVEMENTS, GRADE CROSSINGS AND FRANCHISES ALL TOUCHED ON. Ex-Councilman Blickwedel, who recently returned from an extended trip through Germany, submitted an interesting report to council last evening on municipal government in the Fatherland. Mr. Blickwedel was given a vote of thanks for his report, which is as follows: To the Mayor and Common Council of the City of Richmond, Indiana: Gentlemen: Believing that you might be interested in hearing something of my recent trip to the Old Country, I will try to give you some information with reference to some of the things that attracted my attention, such as the manner of telephone, telegraph and electric light wire construction, and also street railway and steam railroad construction in the several cities that I visited. In the large cities In the eastern part of this country it is noticeable that the railroads are fast doing away with grade crossings, the tracks either being above the roadway or below the surface of the street, and all wires are placed underground. In Germany this system prevails in all the cities that I visited. The only wires that are placed above the ground are placed on top of the buildings and attached to Iron poles, this is especially true of telephone wires. My attention was especially called to the matter of railroad crossings, and street railroad accommodations on account of the condition this city is in at the present time, it being almost impossible on account of the dangerous grade crossings to get a street car line to the North part of the City which is fast building up and is certainly in need of street car service. The fact that the Reid Memorial Hospital is also cut off in another reason why some effort should be made to force the railroad company to either raise or lower their tracks in order that these grade crossings can be done away with. Cleaning and Repairing Streets. Another thing that I noticed was the matter of Street construction, and the manner in which they are kept clean. In the residence districts asphalt is used to a greater extent than any other material, and on the streets where their is any heavy traffic there is a great deal of brick, bltulithic, and granite block used. In Germany the streets are all cleaned by hand, and the revenue to pay for such cleaning is almost all raised by a vehicle tax, and while there are a number of cities that I visited in this country whose streets are clean, none of them can compare with the cities of Germany in this particular, especially. In the business part of the cities in Germany snow is never allowed to lay on the sidewalks or streets during the daytime, It is all hauled og in the nlghtime and the street railway companies are compelled to see that that pdrtlon of the street between their tracks and for a certain distance on each side is kept entirely clean and free of snow. Awarding of Franchises. Another source of revenue to the several cities is the fact that a franchise Is never given away, the corporation receiving a franchise Is compelled to give a certain portion of its profits to the city. In the laying of conduits for underground wiring, (a subject with which this city is at present struggling,) I found that a great many of the cities of Germany and some of the cities in this country are constructing them under the sidewalks, and it is said that this manner of construction is much more satisfactory than placing them in the streets. I also found that a great many of, them are owned and controlled by ; the municipalities and are a source of revenue to the city. I desire to say in conclusion that my trip was one of extreme pleasure and satisfaction to me in that it enabled me to meet a great many of my friends and relatives and to see many improvements that have been made in the old country. I also wish to acknowledge my appreciation for the leave of absence granted me by the Common Council, thus giving me an opportunity to make this trip. Respectfully, A. W. BLICKWEDEL, Ex-Councilman of the Fourth Ward. John McConoIogue Insane. An Inquest to determine ths sanity of John McConlogue. Sr., held Saturday in 'Squire Abbott's court, resulted in McConlogue being declared of unsound mind and a recommendation to Easthaven being made out McConlogue is 65 years of age and was bora in Ireland.
