Connie's FIGHT IS CARRIED INTO LEGISLATURE (Continued from rage One. ) ..mayors in Indiana is behind it, on the ground that school hoards have too great a sway in expenditures. However it appears from the opposite that has developed that this is just what the majority of people want. The fact that the school boards can do as they please In the way of spending funds, is what keeps the school system on . its "feet" so to speak. With any curtailment of the school revenue, which would come about of city councils had the power to cut down estimates, the school system, it Is claimed, would have an uphill fight from one end of the year to the other. Senator Will Wood, however, disclaims that any mayoralty organization has a hand in the measure. He declares that a school board should be restricted in power and he will fight for the hill to the last ditch. It la regarded as a "cinch", however, that it will either die in committee or will be ruthlessly slaughtered on the floor. PUBLIC OPIIIIOII A POWERFUL FORCE Attorney for Panhandle Tells Legislators They Will Yield To It. READY FOR 2-CENT FARE THINKS SMALL ROADS, WHOSE , EARNING CAPACITY IS NOT GREAT SHOULD BE TREATED LENIENTLY. Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 18. (Spl.) Thit the' railroad companies of Indinna do not intend to offer opposition ,

to the proposed enactment of a 2-cent passenger rate law, was made clear today at a meeting of the senate railroad committee. Samuel O. Pickens, attorney for the t Pennsylvania lines, in addressing the rommittee, indicated that the only suggestion from the railroads is that there shall be a provision embodied making a higher cash fare on trains than that charged if tickets are bought. The railroad attorney also said that though the Pennsylvania would not be Hffected by such a provision, he believed that smaller roads whose gross earnings from passenger service did not equal the expenses of such service even at the present rate of fare, should be exempt, or the Indiana railroad commission should be vested with the power to exempt such road9

If on investigation It was found that they were unable to maintain their passenger service at the proposed 2-cent rate. Nine Two-Cent Fare Bills. There were nine two-cent fare bills In the hands of the committee today. All are senate bills and their authors are Senators Stephenson, Bland, Kllng, Springer. Mattingly, Klrkman. Crumjacker. Parks, and Kistler. Most of the mare modeled after tho Ohio 2cent law, others contain the simple provisions of that statute with additional features in the way of additionr1 cash fare on trains, the penalty, as It is termed by some, being an addition of one-half cent or 1 cent, thus making the total cash fare if paid on trains, or 3 cents. Provisions requiring tho ' roads to carry 150 pounds of baggage without ; excess charges also are embodied in ' some of the bills. Senator Crunipacker, chairman of j

the committee, announced that the i the members of the two teams.

EARLHAM DEFEATED III FIRST- CONTEST Rose Poly Quintet Carries Away Big End of Score in Game Ful! of Fouls. WAS PLAYED IN COLISEUM IN CURTAIN RAISER KIBBEYS DEFEATED BUSINESS COLLEGE TEAM CROWD OF FIVE HUNDRED SAW THE SPORT. Before a crowd of five hundred people, the stroi? Rosa Poly basket ball team triumphed once more over its Old rival Earlham, by the score of 31 to 17 at the Coliseum last night. The game was characterized by the brilliant playing of Hotchkiss and Kerlin of Earlham and Trueblood and Linde!man of Rose Poly, in fact these men were about the whole show when it came to throwing goals and breaking an the play of their i-iipoaents. Long before the game was called, the south balcony was a mass of femininity, yellow and white ribbons and banners, all of which represented Earlham to the finish, although it was realized at the end of the first half that the Quakers were up against a decidedly tough proposition making the ultimate chances of victory rather hazy. The girls were loyl and although they were recently forbidden to sing, they used their hands to a good advantage in clapping. - Kibbeys Beat Business College. Shortly after the curtain raiser which was played between the Kib beys and Business college,- and which resulted in a victory for the haberhashers by a score of 26 to 10, the Earlham and Rose Poly teams took the floor amidst the cheers of their supporters. The play started with a rush, but was soon stopped by a foul, in fact the entire first half was 'decidedly marred by the fouls on-both sides. Referee Hunt had his eagle eye with him and not one false move escaped it. The two teams played ragged ball during the entire first half neither of them seeming to have the ability to "get together." Earlham probably took the prize in this respect, the Quakers scoring only two field goals, or four points during the entire fifteen minutes of play. Although placed at a position with which he was unacquainted, Hotchkiss electrified the spectators with his swift and heady playing. He broke up one play after the other for the Mechanics, while he brought the eager Quaker rooters to their feet by one of the longest thrown field goals ever cast in the big rink. Rose Poly pegged away during this half and scored three field goals and three fouls. The half ended with the ?;core standing 9 to 4. Earlham Changed Lineup. At the beginning of the second half Earlham appeared upon the floor with a decidedly changed lineup. Genn was taken from the game and CapL Chambers took the center position, Kerlin taking Chambers' place at forward. The play started with, a rush and although marred by repeated fouling, -a decided improvement in the goal throwing line was noticeable. Kerlin, the diminutive Manual Trainingite, played in whirlwind fashion and scored Earlham's points from field goal throwing in the second half. His casts were made under trying conditions, but he proved equal to the emergency. Birtch played all over the floor and aided his team greatly by being "Johnny on the spot" at critical periods. Chambers was not up to his usual standard during the entire game. The Hose Toly men, and principally Trueblood and Lindeman, were able at all times to locate the basket and took advantage of six of the nine fouls called on Earlham, scoring each time. All told, during the game, just thirty-five fouls were called on Trueblood ..center ..Genn, Chambers Hadley ....guard Birtch Lindeman .gnard Hotcflkiss Referee, Hunt of Fountain City; umpire, Kisner, of Terre Haute.

Floods are reported at Weston and Buckhannon, with higher water than for several years at the latter place. Portsmouth. O., Jan. 18. The river exceeded C 7 feet here, rising two inches perhour. The water is encroaching on port'ons of the business and residence districts and hundreds are preparing to move in anticipation of several mere feet of water. Fully 1,000 people have hern driven to shelter in schools and vacant buildings. Fears that it will b? necessary to open the flood gates caused great excitment. Lexington, Ky.. Jan. 18. Flood conditions continue all over eastern Kentucky. Heavy rains fell Friday and the Licking, Big Sandy, Kentucky and Red rivers have overflowed their banks. Many small towns are inundated, inhabitants leaving their houses In boats. Thousands of logs on the rivers were lost in the floods. The loss in eastern Kentucky will reach $500,000. Marietta, O., Jan. 18. After the river reached 35.7 feet it began falling slowly. A second rise is expected, however, as the river is rising at all points on the Muskingum and at all points below on the Ohio. Ironton, O., Jan. 18. About 100 families here were driven out of their homes by the flood. The river is rising an inch and a half an hour. ORGANIZED HERE Wayne County Man to Work the Claims of L. B. Killian in California.

REFUGEES SUFFER FROM THE AWFUL ' PANGS OF THIRST (Continued from Page One.)

ernor Eweltenhani and his assistants have been on duty absolutely without sleep ever since the first shock, and their heroism cannot be underestimated. They have arranged for an absolutely equitable distribution of all supplies and order is gradually being brought out of chaos. Under Military Control. Between the outskirts .of the city proper, and the hills beyond, are where the temporary camps have been located. All are under strict military control and the result is that the inmates are gradually becoming reconciled to their lot. Every steamship that Is available Is being, and will be for the next 48 hours, utilized to get foreign refugees from the scene. Help is also coming from Port -Antonio, on the northerly coast, and from every section of Jamaica that did not feel the full extent of the earthquake trembles. A steamer from Santiago arrived this evening, carrying food supplies which are to be landed at once. In addition, the American naval supply ship from the Guantanama station, has landed badly needed food stuffs Among this latter quantity of supplies 13 a large amount of tinned goods which will be very useful. Cable System is Worthless. The superintendent of telegraphs is working hard restoring the land lines, but the main cable system, leading to the island Is still worthless. It ,will be impossible to repair It until the cable ships now being hurried here, reach the scene, inasmuch as the lines parted well oft shore and grappling apparatus and miles of new cable, which are not available on tho island, are needed. hile the harbor section or tne city is crumming into tne water, mis, is apparently aue to tne opening oi subterranean passages below the "made ground" and engineers who know, think the effect will be only Uemporary and that the damage now Deing aone is capame or resiorauon. The cable operator at Holland Bay is authority for a s'atement that emergency operators and men reached there late today from Santiago and St. Thomas, and he seemed confident that it would soon be possible to clean up the glut of business fo press dispatch es could be handled. GRAIN ELEVATOR FIRE LOSS WAS ABOUT $700 Firemen Called Out Just Before Midnight by Blaze at Richmond Elevator and Milling Company Near the 19th Street Bridge. A slow and smouldering fire was discovered In the elevator of the Richmond Elevator and Milling company on North 19th street at 11:30 last night, and before the fire could be checked the flames had eaten into the building, causing a loss of approximately $700. The fire was of such nature that it was very difficult to fight, it r being confined to the many diverging shutes in the building. The firemen fought for more than two hours before the flames were finally extinguished. As there was not a great amount of grain in the elevator the firemen were better able to carry on their work. The whole building was threatened at one time. BIG 15-CENT LUNCHES Dinner and Supper to Be Served for the Benefit of the Y. M. C. A. in G. A. R. Hall Today. Plenty of food has been provide for the 15 cent lunches to be given in the G. A. R. hall today by members; of the G. A. R and W. R. C. Those who have charge of the sale of tick ets, and it has been encouraging, have guaranteed that there will be no disap pointments. Both dinner and supper will be served, and the members say that the one will not be the remains of the other. For dinner roast beef beef loaf, baked beans, gelatine, salad, cake, bread, butter and coffee. On account of the worthiness of the cause, it is expected that these two meals will be generously patronized, PASTOR GIVEN A CHAIR Members of the Friends Church Re' member the Rev. Clarence M. Case on His Birthday. The annual turkey supper was held last night at the South 8th Street Friends church and more than 275 members of that congregation participated in the bountious repast which was spread on the banquet boardIt was also the occasion of a double celebration as the Rev. Clarence M. Case was thirty three years of age j-esterday and last night the members of his church presented him with a most beautiful leather rocking chair. "No more trading stamps," Is the slogan of a campaign which English grocerymen are carrying on. One of them, whose shop Is In East London, says: "There is not a small grocer in England who earns 15 per cent on his capitaL Ten per cent is average profit and the cost of trading stamps leaves him only about 6U per cent. .

FEELS THE EFFECTS

OF THE WEATHER Bradstreets Reports that Trade in All Lines is Checked and Retarded. DRY GOODS IS MOST ACTIVE NEW BUYING MOVEMENT APPAR ENTLY UNDER WAY . IN PIG IRON AND STRUCTURAL MA TERIAL THROUGHOUT THE EN TIRE COUNTRY. Publishers' Press ! New York, Jan. 18. Bradstreets to morrow will say: Retail and wholesale trade, Indus try and transportation alike feel the effect of varying adverse weather conditions which retard or check activity and make the congestion visible some time ago in railroad matters even more acute. These conditions are not of course, unusual at this season of the year, but are productive of es pecial comment and trouble just now now because of the comparisons made with the wonderfully open season of January, 190G. The entire northwest has struggled with a series of snow storms, followed by Intensely cold j weather; the central west and southj west have had weeks of heavy rains ! while at the south the complaiut has been that the weather has been un seasonably warm. In the northwest i coal trains have had the right of way, i and grain movement has been lieht. , one result being firmer prices for wheat, while bad weather, damaging , to corn and oats has been a Btimulus j to nrires nf rnars prain The w. j 1)0rts from the winter wheat cron are i not conclusive. Very heavv rains , followed by sleet and ice, are reported j in parts Df the winter wheat belt. In , Texas, too much moisture has caused j rank gr0wth and complaints of bug i damage. I The comparative ouiet now witnessed in many lines is not unwelcomed to many, who have been kept pushed steadily to fill orders. Building Is quiet when compared with the activity of a year ago at this time, and hardware and lumber dealers have hopes of catching up with their orders. Relatively the most active line at present is that of dry goods, particularly cottons, which are strong and tending upward, wtiile the shoe trade is rather backward, though weather conditions of the past month should in the end be beneficial to this line. A new buying movement is apparently under way in pig iron and structural material has also improved. In the main all other lines are in fairly good condition. WEST SIDE BEAUTIFUL WILL WORK TO THAT END Improvement Association Which Held Its Meeting in Baxter School Heard Interesting Report From Civic Beauty Committee. At a meeting of the West Side Improvement association last night in the Baxter school building, reports were heard from a number of committees. The civic beauty commit tee reported that it had taken steps ioking towards an improvement in shade trees on the west side by scientific trimming. The members too intend to see that weeds are kept cut better than heretofore. The association intends to unite with the school authorities and the Aftermath society in seeing that the children in West d ' Richmond plant flower beds in the spring, WILL ADD TO THE FORCE NEED ANOTHER OFFICER Board of Police Commissioners Will Likely Appoint an Additional Patrolman at an Early Meeting Will be a Democrat There Is need for another patrolman in Richmond now and the board of police commissioners will very likely appoint an additional officer at an early meeting. The next officer to be named must be a democrat' It is known that the board will go slowin making a' selection as both Messrs Reeves ami Hiatt have expressed a desire to" maintain the present high standard of the force. Although it is generally recognized that patrolmen are now getting sufficient compensation the board feels confident of getting another good officer in view of the fact that Senator Wood's bill for an Increase in salary Is likely to be made a law by the present legisla ture.
