WEDNESDAY MORNING,

RICHMOND, 1ND. m HOPE TO CUT OUT RAILROAD PASSES Governor Hanly Does Not Want Legislators to Accept Railroad Favors. DETERMINED IN ATTITUDE ALREADY THE RAIROAD COMMISSION IS LAYING PLANS FOR GETTING ANTI-PASS LEGISLATION THROUGH. One of the perquisites of a seat in the House of Representatives and in the Senate of the Indiana General Assembly, has always been a railroad pass over the line or lines running between the home of the legislator and Indianapolis. Wayne county members of the General Assembly, like all others, have hhared in these railroad gifts and they liave proved highly cceptable. According to information from the capi tal, Governor Hanly nas determined to pet In action a movement which' he hones will cut off the pass business and the State Railroad Commission is nt this time laying tho preliminary plans for getting such legislation through. If tho railroad commission has its vray, tho anti-pass lav will be so sweeping in its nature, that no passes can be Issued by tho railroads to any persons except bona fide officials. Members of the legislature would nev er again receive an" "annual or a, "session" pass and employes of the road, including railroad attorneys, would go down into the pockets and pay cash fare. The end that tho commission has in view is tho ultimate abolition of the past custom of giving passes, especially in return for favors that are granted the railroads. An anti-pass bill was Introduced in the legislature of 1905, but members of both branches, most of whom had passes over one or more railroads, treated it as a joke bill. It died in the committee room. Several legislators wfco had refused to accept passes from the railroad attorneys and lobbyists advocated Its passage, but it usually happened that the pass-holding members were too busy with other matters of legislation to give them much time when they wanted to 'discuss it. The chances are that there will not te as many passes handed out during the coming session, because of the prohibitory sections in the railroad rate bill passed last spring by congress. Men who are close to Governor Hanly and know' his ideas on the subject, predict that he will recommend , the enactment of an, anti-pass law for Indiana in his message to the coming legislature. KUKLUX NOTICES POSTED ALL THE SALOONS CLOSED Mayor .Woodward,, of Atlanta, Took Steps to Prevent Repetition of the Recent Race Rioting in that City Law Was Enforced. irublishers" Tress.J Atlanta Ga , Dec. 25, To avoid the possibility oi any repetition of recent race rioting in this city, Mayor Woodward issued a peraniptory order closing all saloons In the city, to remain closed until Wednesday morning. For several wees indefinite rumors have been heard that Christmas was to be made the occasion of an attack upon the negroes of Atlanta. No such rumor could be traced to an authoritative source, but the effect was to drive many negroes from the city. Several "K. K. K. notices were posted about the streets last Saturday. While no serious consideration was jtiven them a reward of $200 was offered by Mayor Woodward for -evidence to convict any person of posting these notices or in any way inciting to riotiaar. The law requires that all saloons be closed Christmas day, but never before was the law put in force Christmas eve. Options Illegal. Publishers' Frcss.1 opnnjai..., ..... ifec. z5. The supreme court in a decision held that contracts on the board of trade to sell at some future date are options and are therefore illegal and void. Henry Woods offered to contract to sell Mark Bates 60,000 bushels of contract wheat to be delivered in December. In consideration cf $6V he agreed to leave the offer open for acceptance until September. While the offer was still open Bates accepted it, but Woods repudiated the contract.

26, 1906 NUMBER 301. WATSON HOLDS THE KEY ON SUBSIDY LEGISLATION 'Whip" Is Peculiarly Situated So that His Word Will Make or Break Ship Subsidy Bill Now Pending in National House. Washington, Xmas. The members of the Indiana delegation, as a rule, are opposed to any subsidy legislation. While the committee on merchant marine and fisheries was considering the original Gallinger bill, the delegation caucused and unanimously voted to oppose the bill. It has not had a meeting to consider the amended bill proposed by Representative Grosvenor. As a member of the committee that is handling the subject, Representative Watson has it in his power to block the whole subject. It would not be possible to report any bill if he should declare his opposition to any legislation. Ho was in line with the State delegation on the declaration that it would not support the Gallinger bill, but he has been working to obtain a I report on the Grosvenor bill or a bill that limits the subsidies to mail only. WOULD RAISE SALARIES OPINION 0FC. B. LANDIS Congressman From the Ninth District is in Favor of a Decided Increase In the Scale of Pay for Teachers in Indiana. . Delphi, Ind., Xmas., (Spl.) Congressman Charles B. Landis is in favor of increasing the salaries of school teachers. He says: "We have hundreds of young men ad j-oung women ambitious to devote their lives to teaching and we have splendid facilities for educating them iiut after they get into the wor: they find it so unremunerative, as compared with other lines of activity to which they can turn their efforts and energies," that they abandon the profession of educating itho youth of the land and take hold of something at which they can do better. The result is that the number of high grade men and women for the more advanced positions is sometimes extremely limited. Unless the .compensation is raised the brand of talent that has even been using the profession as a stepping stone will greatly deteriorate, as there ars so many places now awaiting bright and promising young people who wish to work the very day they graduate from our public schools and colleges. I am in favor not only of an increase but a decided increase. I'd place a high premium on well equipped teaching talent in our public schools." . Old Santa Reindeer are good enough

INDIANAPOLIS HAVE

E THAU SHARE Hoosier Congressmen Have . Landed All Sorts of Jobs for Constituents. "PLUMMING" IS OVERDONE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION ISSUES BULLETIN SHOWING THE PERCENTAGE OF OVERDRAFT TO GNATS HEEL. Richmond and Wayne county men who have been making efforts to land "places' under Uncle Sam at Washington in one of the departments, and who have been bombarding Congressman Watson with applications and "follow-up" letters, will have cold water thrown on their ambitions when they learn that in the next few years Indiana aspirants for places will likely be ruthlessly cast aside. A bulletin just issued by the trivil service commission shows that Indiana has thirty-nine more places in the departments in Washington, than it is entitled to. .The commission says Indiana s share of positions in the departmental service would be 252 and that the State, in fact, has 291 men and women in the departments at the capital. It has been known for some time that the Hoosier statesmen were "crowding the liwit" in their efforts to get jobs fo- their constituents, but It did not leak out until today that the State's quota is overdrawn to such an extent as tne ngures snow. i ne com mission, In its typewritten statement, gives the percentage of Indiana's overdraft to a gnat's heel. It announces that Indiana has 115.478 per cent of the number of places to which It is en-1 titled. The commission's announcement probably will send a thrill through several Indian congressmen who are hungry for more places. Indiana has long been noted as haviing a delegation that nothing slip by that was not tied down.
