TELEPHONE DEAL GIVES A PROMISE OF OIIE SERVICE

The Independents . Feel That They Have Matters in Their Own Hands and Expect to Better Themselves.

As already announced in this paper

the Bell Telephone company may withdraw more or less from the local exchange field in Indiana and Ohio, leaving the local business to the Independent concerns that are affiliated with the Hell. This is true especially of places where the independent, exchange is the stronger of the two. Developments in this line promise to come quickly. There is a growing belief that A law r.ill be passed in the near future providing for an interchange of business by telephone and telegraph companies. fcneh a law was discussed in Indiana during the recent session of the legislature and in Ohio it is said the law will not be long in coming. This has been taken into consideration in mapping out a future policy for the rival telephone interests, and the result is to be a scheme whereby in the future, where the Hell and an independent exchange are affiliated, the renting of two telephones for one house or, for ne pl.ice of business will become unnecessary, an exchange of long distance business, beiiyj arranged and one exchange being withdrawn. Deal Made in Ohio. 'Active negotiation's are on for the j transfer cf the Bell exchanges at sev- j era! cities in Ohio. While the inde-1

pendent tolcifhoue people say that the deal is not closed, there is informa tion to the effect that the contracts were sigrod early in April, and that the change is under way. The Hell people work on the theory that it is wisest to leave oae strong exchange in a local field, the Hell handling the long distance business only. To this end the company Is n-uc'r to transfer its weaker plants t r the independents. The f"c?'f!-,;i dependent Telephone Rs?r e "r !ni win n n Indianapolis, et t!D dr.-; G-.t !:!. May 15 and 16.

A" shrewd looking Persian peddler, with his burden-of shawls and other oriental finery, entered the county recorder's office. Sheriff Meredith was

there having a talk with County Recorder Mosbaugtu The , sheriff evi

dently resembled Mr. E. Z. Mark, as

the Persian promptly singled him 'out as his victim. "You want dis shawl for ?2'r" asked the peddler. 'Nope," replied the sheriff. "You game?" came back the Persian. "If you are I make proposition. If I tell you how much, money you have on you, den you give me ?2 for dis shawl. I is no fortune teller or ze mind reader but I mean what I jsay. If I don't tell you how much money

you have on you, Cell you get de shawl for nothing." "You're on," said Meredith. Then he retired to the back part of the room, counted his money and placed the total on a slip tf paper. "What's the answer?" said the sheriff, after finding how much, he had on him. "Add five to de total." said the peddler. "Now multiply that total by five." The sheriff did as ordered. "Now add one hundred and ten." Meredith complied and then gave the peddler the grand total. The Persian took out hi3 pencil and after making a few figures said, with a smile of triumph, "You got ?9.SO." Meredith gasped, then walked over to the ped

dler, handed him $2 and took the

shawl. "I tell you de trick some day

maybe," said the slick foreigner, as

he walked out of the office.

ON MAY 19 THE PRESIDENT'S LETTER WILL BE CONSIDERED AND SOME SORT OF A REPLY FORMULATED. Chicago, April 25. President Roose

velt's phrase, "Undesirable citizens," with which' the president branded Moyer and Haywood in his letter to Honore Jaxon, chairman of the Chicago Moyer-Haywood defense confer

ence, was voluntarily assumed last night by ninety-five delegates who attended a meeting of the conference. The phrase was declared by speakers to be a "badge of honor." Plans

were laid for the holding of a huge demonstration on the lake front on May 10, when the president's letter and his attitude toward union labor, as outlined in his letter, will be given extended consideration. ' Jaxon. who was expected to make a torrid speech, disappointed the gathering. He contented himself with reading the president's communication to the delegates with a single comment. He said that he regretted that the letter had been addressed to him personally. Before the meeting began Jaxon said the reply of Roosevelt to the letter from the conference was 'just such an answer as a man of Roosevelt's caliber might be expected to make." ; "Roosevelt talks and thinks as do the men around him," said Jaxon.

"When he talks he expresses the sen-

John Kantner, Jr., who about two

weeks ago assaulted Joseph Workes at the corner" of North Eighth and E streets, with a knife, ripping Workes'

clothing but inflicting no wound, was

arraigned in the circuit court on a charge of assault and battery. Prosecutor Jessup asked to have the original charge of assault with Intent to commit a felony stricken from the records. IIo stated that he had investigated the record of the young man and had found that Kantner had never be fore been in any trouble. Drink'the Only Trouble. . After explaining that Kantner had

attempted to knife Workes because Workes refused to give him some money, the prosecutor stated that the young man had left his home in Elwood a few days prior to the assault and that he was on a spree. The prosecutor stated that he had received letters from the chief of police and the deputy prosecutor at Elwood and that they stated Kantner had never been in any trouble before but that occasionally he went out on sprees. Owing to the past good record of the young man Mr. Jessup stated that Kartner should be shown some leniency. Judge Fox fined him $20 and sentenced him to thirty days in jail.

The court also warned the young man against the use of intoxicants and stated that he had had a narrow escape from being sent to the penitentiary. . . f Each Minus an Arm. Young Kantner when eleven rears

old had his left arm mashed in a run

right arm in a saw mill. The sight of a father and son, each with only one arm, was most remarkable. Court Baliff John Markley, who lost his arm in the civil war, took great interest in

"Blue Flame", means the hottest and cleanest flame produced by any stove. The flame is always under immediate control and can be raised or lowered instantly.

joint, that of another can be reduced to simmering point in this way enabling the housewife to cook a variety of dishes at one time. Then the comfort of it. While the j flame of the New Perfection is in-1

tensely hot, yet the heat is not thrown

off into the kitchen because It is con centrated by blue-enamed chimneys

On washing and ironing days the

comfort and convenience of the New-

Perfection will be greatly appreciated,

It gives best results in the least time, and does away with all coal and wood

carrying and the many other disa

greeable jobs that have to be done with other stoves. The New Perfec

tion Is made in three sizes, with one,

two. and three burners, and is war

ranted to give full satisfaction.

Another home comfort is the Rayo

Lamp, which produces a light of unus ual brightness, yet soft and mellow

a light that will not hurt the eyes.

The Rayo Lamp can be used in any

room, whether it be library, dining-

room, parlor or bedroom. It Is highly

ornamental, being made of brass

throughout and beautifully nickeled.

Every lamp is warranted and makes a valuable and handsome addition to

any home.

comfort. Their easy operation, abso

lute safety and handsome appearance commend them wherever stoves and

lamps are used.

EASTERN STAR WILL ASK MASONS' HELP

Find It .Is Very Slow Work Building a Home Witti Penny Collections.

THE FUND IS QUITE SMALL.

MASONS MAY BE ASKED TO CONTRIBUTE FIVE CENTS TO THE FUND EACH TIME A LODGE MEETING IS HELD.

Indianapolis, .Ind. April . The

women who are at tlie head of the

grand chapter of the Order 6f Eastern

Star, find that it is slow work raising a fund sufficient to establish a Ma

sonic home with, a . penny collection.

and they are going to call on the mem

bers of the different. MasoniG bodies to

help them in the near future.

Reports made by the treasurer and

secretary of the grand chapteu show

that the Masonic home fund has reached $2,0S4.3.j. The greater part

of this fund has been raised' by the

different chapters by penny collec

tions. Each chapter has a small bank

it will receive any coin trarm a penny

to a dollar. It is the rule of each chap

ter that each member must place at least a penny in the bank each time

there is a meeting. The women are

expected to make a larger contribution

than a penny if they feel they can af

ford to do so.

The women have up to this time

made no formal request of the Masons to help them. It has been the dream

of the Eastern Star -members to build

the home themselves.

The suggestion is made that - each

Mason of the state be asked to contribute 5 cents to the Masonic Home fund every time there is a meeting of his lodge. - - -

More than 600 delegates are attend

ing the meetings of the grand chapter.

At yesterday's session the following

new officers were elected:
