THE OUTSIDE OPINION
WATSON'S CLOSE SHAVE
THE LIGHT PLAIIT MAY HAVE FIGHT
Indianapolis News Declares it to be
in Interesting . Question and , one
That Will Provoke Much Curiosity
Among Politicians.
Comment on Watson's close call in
the Sixth District i3 the subject of much newspaper comment all over
the state and the Indianapolis News
editorially said last night:
"Two years ago Mr. Watson had a
plurality of 7,043. his year his plu
rality is only 1,505. If it be said that
he was helped In 1904 by the popular
ity of Mr. Roosevelt, and by the fuller
vote of presidential year, a comparison with the vote of 1902, when he had a plurality of 4,106, is not comforting. Two years ago Mr. Watson had a plurality of 3,950 in Wayne county, as against 346 this year. Rich mond, with a normal Republican plurality of 1,400, gave a plurality, last Tuesday for his opponent. The result it seems to us, is sufficient ground, if not for dissatisfaction, at least for a serious Inquiry into causes. Mr. Watson does not seem to have been personally unpopular. Nor was there much factional fighting, though there were several rather ugly postoffice rows. He may have been the victim of the house-cleaning zeal which is ,
now so noticeable in Indiana. Indeed
it is intimated that Mr. Watson may
have suffered in Wayne county by reason of the fight made against
State Senator Kirkman by the Repub
lican Reform League. Another factor
is found In the opposition of the Rich
mond manufacturers to the standpat
theory. His attitude on the immigra
tion question may also have cost hm
pome votes. But whatever the influ
m a -
irnces at worK may nave been, the sit-
hiatiou is sufficiently . interesting to
Iprdvoke curiosity."

The Improvement which the Light
Heat & Power Company is making at
its plant, will it is -asserted, make it the most complete lighting plant in
Eastern Indiana.
At the same time the city light
plant is being greatly improved and the Board of Public Works believes
that it will be equal to that owned by
the private corporation. There seems to be no question that there is to be a fierce fight between the companies
for new business In the near future
and with increased capacities and
improved facilities both the city and the Light, Heat & Power Company expect to receive increased patron
age.
As the business in a city of Richmond's' size has a limit, and as light and popwer rates are much lower than in most cities, there is considerable speculation as to how the war, if one takes place, can be conducted without great loss to one or both companies. The Light, Heat & Power Company did not give up the game when it failed to buy the city plant. To the contrary it went straight ahead to lay plans for a vigorous cam paign of business getting and the city has duplicated the trick.
Many papers in the Sixth District are now mentioning the Rev. T. H. Kuhn as the possible Democratic can
didate for governor, owing to the splendid race he made against James K. Watson for congressional honors. Up to the present time Mr. Kuhn has not been heard from on the subject but it would occasion no surprise if he came out as a candidate for gov
ernor at the proper time. The Green
field Star says of Mr. Kuhn that he has the essentials of a good executive
and is a vote getter besides. The
Greenfield Republican stated that if
Mr. Kuhn made the race for governor
he would prove to be a good runner.
The Tipton Tribune has the iollowing
to say "Mr. Kuhn has all the moral courage that an executive should
have and he is a debater of ability
The party might fare a great deal
worse by not taking the Rev. Kuhn as
its standard bearer.

W. J. Lawrence, for many years at the head of the Federal secret service in
the northwest, with headquarters here, died suddenly today at his boarding house. Death was due to heart failure, brought on by paralysis. Captain Lawrence was 63 years old and was one of the oldest employes in point of service in the secret service
department. His widow and family
live at Union, Iowa.
The Saturday evening market at the
southside market house told in no un
certain way that the open season for hunters was on. One hundred and twenty-five rabbits were on display,
all the result of the first day's harvest of bunnies, and they sold like the pro- j
verbial hot cakes. The toothsome
Hoosier bunny is a delicacy that is not
to be sneered at by any means and in
these cool November days the nimrods
will find plenty of "him" to bag. The
hunting season had a fairly good start. Weather conditions were good and
there were scores of men in the field
with guns and dogs. The festive quail does not shop up in the market !
places for it still is a violation of the
game laws to sell or give away these

rPublishers PressJ
Indianapolis, November 11. Attor
ney-General Miller, of Indiana, upon
request of Auditor of State Bigler,
as to the interpretation of the law governing the organization of mutual
fire insurance companies, has Riven
the opinion that the $20,000 cash re
ferred to in the law can be put up by
whomsoever the organizers choose
and that it does not have to repre sent cash premiums. In closing Mr,
Miller says:
"I am of the opinion that the offi
cers of a mutual fire insurance com
ppany, after securing the latter
amount in premium notes, may them
selves pay to the company $20,000
in cash, though none of it is received from those who execute premium
notes. '
The Attorney-General has also been
asked to define what constitutes an insurance company. The question
arose over tfce establishment of sev
eral hospitals in the city upon a plan
or guaranteeing treatment and medi
cal service to subscribers, as neces
sity might arise, during a certain period for which subscribers paid a
fee in advance. After considerable ar
gument and lengthy briefs on the
part of attorneys representing the in
stitutions concerned, the Attorney
General ruled that they were insur
ance institutions and would have to comply with the insurance laws of the State. There is one such institu
tion now in the city, the Indiana Home Hospital, and its officers are in consultation with the insurance department as to what must be done.

uous objections to this clause in the ordinance and announced that ordinance would be Ignored. It was also charged by the Central Union people that the ordinance had been drawn up in the interests of the Home Telephone Company. Consequently when the Central Union began to reconstruct its system on Main street it
is done overhead. This action on
e part of the Central Union people
was called to the attention of City Attorney Gardner and after examining the ordinance he declared it to be ineffective and illegal and'had the ordinance which comes up for its final reading at the next council meeting drawn up. Spending Much Money. The Central Union has expended several thousands of dollars In recon
structing its system and "It Is almost certain that the company will not go to the expense of reconstructing its lines over again without a hard legal fight. Mr. Study In discussing the new ordinance which will be passed by council stated to the Board oi Public Works that there was no question In his mind that the city did no have the right to order all poles off of Main street but that there was some doubt as to the legal right of the city in ordering wires placed In underground conduits. However, it is obvious that if the city orders the removal of poles off of Main street the Central Union company must either place their wires overhead on streets and alleys in the neighborhood of Main street or place them underground.
