BUILDING PERMIT RECOHDJUOOD ONE Mqrch Showed Up Well in This Regard. TOTAL CLOSE TO $40,000. During the month of March there Were 21 building permits issued by City Controller Webster Parry. This is quite a good showing, as March in ast years has generally been a dull month for building. However the past month was a particularly open one and builders began work early. The records in the city controller's office show that the value of improvements authorized during March timounts to ?.'l.S,o2.". The biggest improvement authorized during the month was the building of a factory building by the Wayne works, the estimated expense for the erection of this building being placed at $10,(h"m. The building permit record for the past month follows:. Factory building 1 Urick dwelling 1 Double frame dwellings tl Frame dwellings 7 Stone dwellings I Barns l Remodeled frame dwellings. " Remodeled brick dwellings 2 DECLARED OF SOUND MIND. The case of Laura Moore, wife of Charles Moore of this city, who petitioned the court to be declared of sound mind so that she can convey Veal estate, was heard before Judge Fox. The petition was granted by the court. About two years ago Mrs. !Moore was dismissed from Easthaven Insane hospital as cured.

tut the QUARTET WAS HIED IN THE CITY COURT Five Dollars and Costs Assessed as Result of Incident of Saturday. BALL'S FIRST OFFENSE. RESIDENT OF OHIO GREATLY DISTRESSED Because he was CONNECTED WITH THE CASE, MERELY BY CHANCE. John Minnix, Mary Minnix, Rosetta Lutz and A. R. Ball were fined in the city court S and costs for intoxication. Ball plead guiity but the other three entered pleas of not guilty. "I am not a lady what drinks," stated Mrs. Lutz, who is a sister of Mrs. Minnix. She was very indignant and every time she was asked if she wanted to question the witnesses ' testifying ! against her she would say "no'' in a loud voice. Mrs. Minnix, mother of John Minnix, is quite deaf. She stated to the court that she was not drunk Saturday afternoon and what was, more, had never tasted a drop of liquor in her life. She said that she did not approve of booze. Both women stated that Saturday afternoon they went up town to shop and attend the matinee. They chanced to meet Ball at the corner of Sixth and Main street. "While they were standing there merely talking the women stated, three officers swooped down on them and took them to jail. Mrs. Minnix said that her son was not drunk and he substantiated her statement. Ball's First Offense. Ball stated that he had never been in trouble before in his life and that he was not responsible for the conduct of the others. He hoped the court would be very lenient with Iiim, he said. Prosecutor Jessup asked Ball if he were not a trustee of the Christian church at Campbellstown, O. Ball stated that he is not a trustee but did not deny he is a church officer and took active interest in church affairs in his native hamlet. The man was a picture of distress. One of the strangest features in the peculiar case is the fact that Mrs. Minnix is known to be a prominent temperance worker. For some time Mrs. Minnix has lived in the north end of town and Officer Bund' stated that she is what is known as a "temperance crusader" having frequently visited bar rooms where she would hold services and plead with her audiences to leave drink alone.

PHONE INTERESTS MAY BE MERGED IN MANY PLACES

Proposition Between Bell and Home Companies Is Wow Pending and May Be Favorably Acted Upon. INITIATIVE IS WITH . THE BELL COMPANY. Has No Desire to Continue to Operate Plants Where of a Necessity It Is Done Without Profit. It is very probable that the interests of the Home and Bell telephone companies of Richmond will soon be consolidated as it is said the Bell company has submitted a proposition to the Home telephone managers in closely contested districts throughout the state by which in case of acceptance the Bell company will turn over all toll business and which will necessarily mean the turning over of all city business likewise. According v the plan suggested by the Bell people, they would have the Home telephone company take over all properties and run the same, on a per centage basis. Tn this way the company might realize more than at the present time, in that it would share in the profits without expense. The situation in Richmond is such that it is claimed the Bell company cannot operate its system at a profit. This gives color to the report that the Bell company's scheme will bo accepted by the Home company. 'Meeting at Logansport. A. C. Lindemuth, of Ihis city, represented the local Ilom company at the meeting of managers of the Bell and Home companies' at Logansport last week, and the proposition ma'de by the Bell people there, by which it was to turn over Logansport properties, was not accepted, although it probably will be, according to the statements of Mr. Lindemuth. The situation at Logansport is practically that in Richmond, the toll business being the main business done by the Bell companv. It is operated at a loss, and the Bell phone directors made no bones about it, saying that it was impossible for them to operate at a profit, when the toll lines are the chief means of revenue. The telephone situation in this city has long been watched with interest, and it has been freely predicted for months that one of the systems would be gobbled up by the other sooner or later. This in the main is the reason the city council refused to let the Bell company go underground until the proper franchise, with a maximum rate clause, was granted. The union of the two here is inevitable, it is claimed. . Other Places Affected. Richmond, however, will not be the only town in Indiana, where the lines of the Bell system will be run into the independent exchanges as. the whole of the first second and third telephone districts, comprising a territory lying north of Richmond are affected. The pace set by the independent companies and the popular favor with which they have met has been the undoing of the Bell company. The latter named organization will continue to operate its lines in those c ties where the comnetition is not as great at present- Logansport and Richmond are the two towns, it is said where the Bell telephone company is very desirous of turning its toll business to the Home companies. This will mean the turning of the city business also. The Bell telephone company is composed of two companies, the American Telephone and Telegraph company and the Central Union Telephone company: The former named organ ization controls the toll routes, while the Central Union has the city business. It is ail practically one however, and the transfer of one would mean throwing the business of the other to the independent interests. The settlement of the matter, which will not come up for some time. Is awaited locally with much interest as the future situation in the city depends largely upon the ultimate outcome.

CORNELIUS VANDERBIL New Torlr, April 1 It was learned yesterday that three of the heaviest losers in the "rich man's panic" in "Wall street are John Jacob As tor, Robert W. Goelet and Cornelius Vauderbilt. Their aggregate losses are said to be between SS.OOO," and ?lx .). All of the money was lost in the Union Patific stock on a ' tip' given them by E. If. Harriman. Colonel Astor and Mr. Goelet are both very rich, and notwithstanding the immensity of their losses, their incomes are not materially affected. Both, however, are regarded as "close" in the financial district and are said to view the consequences of their stock market plunge with sorrow and chagrin. Cornelius Vanderbilt is not nearly so rich as the other two. He was practically disinherited because of his marriage to Miss Grace Wilson. A settlement was subsequently effected by which Cornelius got about MXX. He had. it is said, about $8,000,000 when he joined the other two in the Union Pacific speculation. -

"Miss Mervis Eledak-c" 20 Years on Coffer with dyspepsia and headache for company induced a woman to seek relief. Later on she vrote: "If I had only 50 cents left in the world, I'll tell you how I would invest it: Postum 25 cents. Grape Nuts 15 cents

and I'd live like a queen while it lasted." She had suffered, so long that when relief came by USING POSTUM she knew its value and spoke from tho heart.
