Promoters of Columbus and Richmond Traction Line Very Much Elated.

RENEWED ACTJVITY SHOWN REPRESENTATIVE OF BIG BONDING COMPANY GOES OVER PROPOSED ROUTE WITH COMPANY DIRECTORS.

Although the matter has not been haard from in the past several months, owing to the inactivity of the bonding company of whom the directors have solicited aid, the proposed Columbus and Richmond traction company, is once more assuming come tangible shape. LAst Saturday, Frank F. Heck, representing the Senior-Rogers Bonding Company of Chicago, Chief Engineer J no. A. Shafer and Walter McConaha one of the principal backers of the venture, arrived in this city after an inspection of the proposed route of the road, which began at Columbus last Tuesday. The party followed the old route as surveyed several months ago and with a few exceptions Mr. Heck, who is a practical engineer, made no suggestions and seemed to be satisfied with the survey. Promoter's Feel Elated. The men backing the venture feel highly elated with the outlook at the present time owing to Mr. Heck's ap-: parent satisfaction with the road. The backers of the venture appealed i

to the Senior-Rogers Bonding Company several months ago in order to sell their bonds that they might build the road, but up until last week the company took no trouble in investigating the future electric line. In case that the bonding company decides to tcke up enou.ch of the road's bonds in order to give the traction line a new lease on life, actual work of grading and track laying will begin at once. The majority of the shareholders in the company are very anxious to push the work as fast as possible and no stones will be left unturned so as to complete the line as toon as possible. Farmers Want Good Prices. Vp to the present time the promoters have met some difficulty in securing a complete right of way. as sereral farmers along the line are inclined to hold the company up In rev gard to the enumeration for their land, and this the directors are unwilling to stand for. .This will be settled soon however.

URGES FRIENDS' CHURCH TO ADOPT PLAN

OF HAVING AN ANNUAL "ACCEPTANCE DAY"

C. E. Newlin Gives His Views of Method to Be Pursued in Order to Keep

Young Members of Quaker families in the friends' ChurchMatter Is Put L'p to five Year Meeting in Richmond Next Year.

The enrollment of the children of members of the Friends church into full membership in the society, is a question that has been discussed recently in the American Friend, the official paper of the Orthodox brancR of the Quakers in America. In the current issue C. E. Newlin, of Indianapolis, an alumnus of Earlham college, and widely known in Richmond and Eastern Indiana, contributes an article on this subject and in part says: "I hope the American Friend may

see the importance of at once urging upon eversT meeting, as individual

members at present, the arranging

for a special day and ceremony, when

those young members who have rea

ched the jears of definite understand

ing of their relations to the church

since the adoption of the Uniform Discipline, shall be given an oppor

tunity, and urged to accept the op

portunity of declaring themselves,

and publicly assume the responsibilities of active church membership.

And that such 'Acceptance Day shall become a regular ceremony at least once a year for those who attain the age where such should be done. A most impressive and helpful ceremony could be arranged for this that would be as sacred, binding and impressive as is the ceremony of public marriage. Then at the next new traction line from Columbus and a branch of the Indianapolis and Toledo Traction line which is under the course of construction, the agitation for a new union traction terminal station is assuming large proportions. Already the Indianapolis and Eastern and Dayton and Western have not enough room in their station on South Eighth street to accomodate Their business in a proper manner, r.nd they will be more than willing to enter into an agreement with the two proposed lines which will enter this city, for the construction of a handsome terminal station. It is rumored about the interurban

Five Years Meeting an amendment, covering this ceremony, should be recommended to the different yearly meetings. Thus, I believe, we will save hundreds of valuable young men and women as active members of the Society of Friends, who heretofore have felt very lightly the bond of birthright membership, and by marriage out of the chiirch and otherwise have very easily given tip their nominal membership with us. Such a 'Declaration Day will also give a valuable index as to who of our young members need special attention by those who have reached year of understanding. If, with proper care they persist in refusal to btrome active members, this will also be definite and systematic grounds for carrying out that other paragraph of the Uniform Discipline which says: 'If the member does not make such profession when the list of members, at the discretion of the monthly meeting.' Thus the known 'dead timber can be systematically and justly cut out. "Let us give our boys and girls a definite place in our church and thus early set them to work, so that when the ranks are depleted by age and death, a drilled army, equipped for the service of the church, can be from to fill up the ranks of matured active service."

ACTION AGAINST SHERIFFS IN ORDER TO RECOVER "IN AND OUTS" FEES.

The Board of Wayne County Com- J

In Sunday's Palladium a dispatch from Washington said that General Crozier, chief of ordnance bureau of the war department denied empbati cally that the United States govern ment had solved the problem of aeri; 1 navigation and that it would use air ships in event of war. General Crozier however, did say that the bureau of which he is at the head, has been investigating the aerial proposition ami has been in correspondence with the Wright Brothers of Dayton, O.

i The Wright Brothers are the sons I of the Rev. Milton Wright and former llv were Richmond residents. The

missioners at the session today which will open the regular December term, will discuss the recent ruling of the Indiana Appellate court relative to the "in and out" fees of county sheriffs. As has been published the Appellate court held that these fees were illegal. The attorney-general declares that the Appellate Coutr's ruling means that boards of county commissioners in every county in the State where sheriffs or former sheriffs have been paid such fees, are justified in collecting these fees and restoring them to the treasuries of the counties. The Wayne County Board will determine what action if "any is to be taken in this county. Former Sheriff Unthank collected "in an out" fees after his term of office expired, the Appellate court's ruling of a jear ago showing that he was entitled to them. However, he was compelled to resort to a suit before he could make his claim good, and the very fact that

FEAR COMPLETE MERGER

COUNCIL TO INVESTIGATE

Kokomo Now Lead to Believe That She is at the Mercy of Central Union Telephone Company Matter of Much Local Interest.

Kokomo, Ind., Dec. 2, (SpL). The City Council of Kokomo is getting ready to investigate the consolidation of the local exchanges of the Citizens' and Central Union Telephone companies. There is a suspicion that a complete merger of the interests of the two companies has taken place and that the Central Union now has control of the telephone situation in Kokomo, in fact, if not in name. At the time the exchanges were consolidated the two companies announced that the object was to enable subscri

bers of the Citizens' company to have long-distance telephone . company's lines. There have been developments which lead members of the Council to fear that such a merger has been effected as works a violation of the franchise of the Citizens' company and renders that company's entire equipment liable to be declared forfeited to the city. There is a strong sentiment in favor of the Council making a fight for the property and

if control of it can be obtained, con

the laity. There are those who believe that the health board is deserving oi: severest criticism where there are many others who believe that such criticism is entirely out of place and undue in the fact of the sincere efforts of the health department to break up the epidemic. Ir. Bond's statement to the Palladium that the back-bone of the epidemic is broken and that more cards are being taken down each day than are being put up has relieved the minds of some who were of the opinion that the disease was on the Increase. There are still

complaints heard, however, and one prominent citizen declared to the Palladium yesterday that the school board should do Its part in suppressing the outbreak by closing the schools until after the holidays.

From your view point there are,

fixed charges In sin painting Iabar, j
