ATTORNEYS READY TO FILE ANSWERS IN TRACTION CASE

Messrs. Study and Jessup Will Appear in the Federal Court At Indianapolis Next Moriday. EXPECT A DEMURRER BY COMPANY'S ATTORNEYS. Counsel for the City Are Confident That They Will Be Victorious Over the T. H. I. & E. Traction Co. On Monday of next week City At torney T. J. Study and Prosecutor Jes?sup, who has been retained to assist !Mr. Study in the fight between the I city of Richmond and the Terre Haute jlndlanapolis & Eastern traction comIpany, will file an answer in the federal court at Indianapolis to the comi plaint filed recently by the Terre i Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern a skiing that a restraining order be issued ! against the city of Richmond, prohibiting the city from interfering with employes of the company operating Unterurban cars on Main street east of Eighth, street. Thi3 restraining order was granted by the judge of the federal court at Chicago in the absence of the federal judge at Indianapolis. Expect a Demurrer. It is expected that the attorneys of the traction company will file a demurrer to the answer of the city in which event an answer to the demurrer will have to be prepared by Attorneys Study and Jessup. In the event that the traction company does not file a demurrer to the city's answer it Is probable that arguments on the case will be heard Monday. The court 'will then take the case under advisement and either render a decision favorable to the city or issue a permanent Injunction against the city from enforcing the ordinance passed by council last August declaring it unlawful to operate interurban cars on Main street east of Eighth street. Confident of Victory. Both Attorney Study and Attorney Jessup are confident that they have the traction company beaten. "I tliink that the traction attorneys realize this fact," stated Prosecutor Jessup. "I thing that it was because they saw the hand writing on the wall that Attorney John W. Kern recently visited this city for the purpose of seeing if it were possible to get more favorable terms out of the board." The answer the city attorneys will file to the traction company's complaint is most voluminous and covers every feature of the relations between this city and the traction company. HAT FACTORY WANTS MORE ROOMFOR WORK Commercial Club Will Consider Plan b Aid. NEEDS FACTORY BUILDING. The regular meeting of the board of Commercial club directors will be Monday night when they meet to discuss what terms shall be given the hat factory now in operation in this city. Terms are necessary as it is Impossible for the present owners of the concern to enlarge in the present quarters. As enlargement means much in the future success of the firm the company will necessaily have to leave its present location for another. Just what the Commercial club will do to aid the factory in this search remains to be r seen. It is highly probable that the hat manufacturing concern will not consent to remain in Richmond unless the Commercial club opens to it a broader road to success. A good factory building is necessary to the proper manufacturer of hats and for this the factory concern is seeking. REVOLUTION REPORTS ARGENTINE PROVINCE Many Are Reported Killed in Battle.'

MEN OF

ONLY THREE BOYS KEPT FROM SCHOOL This Is the Total Number of Those Under 14 Working in Richmond Factories. RECORD IS A GOOD ONE. SUPT. MOTT IS DETERMINED TO SEE THAT THE LAW IS OBBEYED TRUANT OFFICER WILL BE KEPT BUSY. There are but three boys inder fourteen years of age now working in Richmond factories and who should be in scnooi according to law. out mese , , , . , I nave received a special dispensation i from Superintendent T. A. Mott, and j will not have to return to school as all I will be fourteen years during the fall months. The record in Richmond is an unusual one, as frequently towns the size of this city are greatly affected. School superintendents in factory towns invariably have considerable worry over the labor proposition. Not so with Supt. Mott. At times there are parents in Richmond who very much desire their chilfren to bind themselves down to manual toil, that they may help support their families, but these instances are few and far between. Last year only fifteen parents made the statement to Mr. Mott that they desired to keep their children out of school to work. So far this year, with the exception f the three cases, there has been no requests centered upon the school author- ! ities. Supt. Mott is a stickler for law obeyance and says he will keep every child under fourteen years out of the factories and in the schools, for if the parents of the children will not give- the jchlidren a common school education it falls upon the state to do so. Truant Officer Bishop will be kept busy during the entire winter closely watching the factories to see that all children are kept in school according to the state law.

Rear-Admiral Evans in an interview today, said the United States has as much right to send ships to the Pacific as England had to send a fleet to the Mediteranean.

JOSIE BOND AGAIN III THE CITY COURT Given About Her One Hundred and Eleventh Jail Sentence by Converse. PUT UNDER PEACE BOND. IMPRISONMENT HAS NO EFFECT UPON HER AND THE BOND WAS MADE EFFECTIVE AT THE PROSECUTOR'S SUGGESTION. Josie Bond was given about her one hundred and eleventh jail sentence this morning at the city court. Josie was fined and costs and put under bond to keep the peace for the perio'i of sixty days. This means that Josie will spend the next sixty days in the women's jail. In the event some one Koes on her bond Josie will only serve thirty days in the jail, the thirty days being equivalent to hr fine. Mrs. Anna Bymaster stated that Josie B. had provoked her the first of l this week by threatening to hit her in the head with a half brick. Several weeks ago a brother of Mrs. Bymaster was arrested wflh Josie on a charge of associating. Both were given jail sentences. Mrs. Bymaster stated that prior to this arrest she and her brother's wife called at the home of Josie Bond to see if the man was there. Josie ordered them out of the house and they obeyed her command. Mrs. Bymaster states that since Josie was released from jail a few days ago she had been cursing her and threatening her because she claimed that Mrs. Bymaster had had her arrested for associating with her brother. Mrs. Bymaster stated this is an untruth. Trouble Reaches Focus. A few nights ago the trouble between Mrs. Bymaster and Josie reached a focus. Mrs. Bymaster, with a woman friend, went to a neighborhood saloon to get a pail of beer. Enroute home, Josie, with a negro, stepped out of an alley. Josie had a half brick and she first gave Mrs. Bymaster a severe cursing and then threatened to break her head open with the brick. William Essmaker, Mrs. Bymaster's son-in-law, came down the street about this time and took his mother-in-law home. Prosecutor Jessup advised the court to place Josie under a peace bond. He said that this would be a most saultary method of dealing with this woman. Imprisonment had absolutely no effect on her. Josie admitted that she had threatened to hit Mrs. Bymaster, but that her weapon was only a small stone which she had brought from her home. Josie's mother, a little woman who can always be seen at the side of her daughter whenever Josie appears in the city court, wanted to swear out a warrant against Mrs. Bymaster on a charge of having. entered the Bond home without permission. Prosecutor Jesup stated that Mrs. Bymaster had a right to enter the home as long as she did not come for an unlawful purpose. WORK IN FIRST DEGREE. Whitewater lodge of Odd Fellows will meet tonight and have work In the first degree. RECEIVED TWO APPLICATIONS.

UNITED

WILL PROVE MEAN FOE FOR TAGGART TO DOWN He Is Going Into the Fight For Governor With the Temperance Element of the Party Back of Him. IS NOW AGREEN THAT HE HOLDS WHIP HAND. Temperance Reform Movement Has Acquired Tremendous Momentum in Indiana and Must Be Reckoned With Indianapolis, Oct. 4. A new element the temperance question has entered into the fight for control of the demovratic party in Indiana. Dark clouds are hovering over the democratic fold and sharp flashes of lightning presage a coming storm. Old-time democratic politicians nudge each other knowingly while they Indulge in lugubrious prophecies as to the probable "finish" of Thomas Taggart. The Rev. T. H. Kuhn of Richmond is the man who is slated to lead the temperance hosts against -'the Taggart battlements. It is a fact known of all men that the democratic state committee Is now a political asset of T. Taggart, who permits it to be dominated absolutely by the brewery influence. If there are any bills to be pushed through the legislature in the interest of the breweries, or if there are any bills obnoxious to the brewers to be killed off.t'e democratic state committee i3 called upon to help turn the trick. Mr. Taggart has shown no evidence of a change of heart and It la taken for granted that if he succeeds fa reorganizing the state committee next January, to his own Ideas and wishes, it will continue to be an instrument in the hands of the brewers. The slogan which went out from the Taggart camp a few days ago, marking the Rev. Mr. Kuhn for slaughter because of his temperance views, has had the effect to direct the fire of the temperance reformers on Taggart. They do not propose to let up until the wily democratic boss Is overwhelmed and crushed by the temperance avalanche, which is now apparently sweeping everything before it In the state. They predict that it will be a fight to the finif-h between Kuhn, who wants to be nominated for governor, and Taggart, who desires to retain his grip on the stato committee. Kuhn Holds Whip Hand. It is generally agreed that Kuhn holds the whip hand over Taggart and tnat he may make the boss dance to a very lively tune. By harnessing the temperance sentiment In an onward dash against Taggartlsm, Kuhn will display a great deal of shrewdness. The temperance reform movement has acquired tremendous momentum In Indiana and nowhere is It stronger than among the Democrats of the rural districts. The masses of the democratic party in Indiana unquestionably are temperance people and If Kuhn succeeds in enlisting their sympathy and support he may confidently look forward to a "clean up" of the so-called Taggart gang. The democrats who are encouraging Mr. Kuhn to take up the cudgels against Taggart, point to the advanced stand on the subject of temperance by the democrats of Georgia, who have driven every saloon out of the state, and also by the Oklahoma democrats who voted that new state dry. It need surprise no one If temperance societies throughout Indiana begin at an early date to adopt resolutions against Taggart and declaring for a temperance uplift that will drive the breweries out of party control. The leaven is working and Interesting times are ahead. The temperance democrats already have a very substantial nucleus of an organization which is the outgrowth of their co-operation in remonstrance work. Kuhn Is an aggressive combatant and It la predicted that he will be able to take advantage of the antf-saloon sentiment which is prevalent everywhere to the extent, at least, of giving Taggart on of the big fights of his life. RAVE WARMCOTROVERSY Court and Attorney Over Latter's Failing to Appear. Attorney B. C. Robbins and Judge TV. C. Converse, it is understood, had quite a warm controversy over Mr. Robbins' failure to appear In city court Thursday and ask for a continuance of the Schroeder case. Mr. Robbins states that he will be ready to try the case Saturday, and adds that he will ask that the case be heard by some one other than Judge' Converse. NEW SLEEPERS PUT ON.
