K1RKMAN IS ASKED . TO SUPPORT BILL Directors of Commercial Club Ask Him to Help Passage Of Bland Measure.

FOR UNIFORM BOOKKEEPING

ACTION TAKEN BY LOCAL BUSI

NESS MEN AT THE REQUEST OF THE STATE FEDERATION OF

COMMERCIAL CLUBS.

At the request of the special com

mittee of the allied commercial organ

izations of the state, telegrams were

sent to Roscoe Kirkman, senator from Wayne county, which were signed by

the board of directors of the Com mercial club and by the special com

mittee of the local . organization. These telegrams request that Senator Kirkman support the Bland bill now

before the senate. This bill provides for the uniform system of accounting as is promoted bylthe commercial organizations of the state. 'If the bill becomes a law It will mean business methods in township government instead of the loose system now In vogue. Divided Report Made. A divided report on the bill was made to the senate this morning. The report was presented by the committee on county and township business. The committee met yesterday afternoon and. after it was apparent that the members could not come to an agreement announcement was made that two reports will be submitted. The majority will recommend the passage of the bill and the minority will report, it for Indefinite postponement. The majority report will be signed "by Senators Bland, Pelzer, Brady, Cox and Kling, while Senators Benz and Ranke will sign the minority. Senator Kling. who had a similar, accounting bill before the committee.. as given way to the Bland measure to the exclusion,, of his own. In explaining his reasons for such action, Senator Kling said that in deference to the work that the Merchants' association committee has done in preparing the bill and in making the investigation for its drafting, he would withdraw, his measure. "I am opposed to the expense attached to the establishment of the system as advocated in the merchants' bill," said Senator Benz. "This bill, I believe, was drafted to suit the situation here in Marion county, and I do not believe the legislature should burden the taxpayers of the state on account of evils which exist in one locality."

RICHMOND COULD NOT MEET BURDEN IMPOSED Local Legislator Points Out That Bill From Sanitary Standpoint Is Good One, But Has Drawbacks.

A. M. Gardner, representative from Wayne and Fayette counties in the state legislature has written Secretary E. M. Haas of the Richmond Commercial club calling his attention to house bill 44. This bill proposes to stop pollution of streams by prohibiting any city or town to drain its sewage into a stream. If the bill becomes a law it will mean a vast expenditure to the city of Richmond. With the exception of the new southwest sewer system Just completed, every large sewer in the city drains to the Whitewater river. To change this entire system and construct sanitation beds could be done only at enormous expense. At the present time the city would be unable to meet the expenditure. Representative Gardner writes that from a sanitary standpoint there is no doubt but that the bill provides a good thing. It is recognized throughout the world that sewage drained into rivers become a menace to health. Stream pollution has been the subject for a sweeylng investigation in this state recently because of the refuse matter turned into the waterways by certain factories and 'other industries. Provisions of Bill. Among the provisions of the bill are the following: Whenever the common council, board of health of any city or town, or the board of county commissioners of any county, or the trustee of any township in this state, shall make complaint in writing to the state board of health, charging that any city, town village, corporation, person or firm named in said complaint is discharging or is permitting to be discharged, any sewage or other waste, or befouling or deleterious matter into any stream,

water course, river, spring, lake or pond, and is thereby materially induing, for domestic use, the character

of the water into which the same is discharged to the injury of the public

health or comfort, or is polluting the

sourceof any public water supply, it shall be the duty of the state board of

health to forthwith inquire .into and

investigate conditions complained of, and if upon such investigation said board shall find the charges, or any of them made in such complaint to be true and thta the conditions produced

by the acts complained of are detrl

mental to public health or comfort, or to the comfort and health of persons residing in the vicinity of the water so befouled, it shall notify the person, municipality, corporation or firm

causing the pollution of the board's finding, and in the notice shall fix a time of hearing. If the board of health finds by the hearing a remedy is needed it has the power to prescribe. Ten Years for Payment. From and .after the passage of this act it shall be unlawful for any municipality to construct . any sewer, or drain designed to carry any substance or matter of the character to injuriously affect water for domestic use, which shall directly or indirectly, discharge into any stream or water course unless it shall have before putting the same Into use, povided as part of such sewer or drain, a plant for the purification of the discharge thereof. The cost is to be defrayed by assessments against property owners. Ten years time is allowed for the payment of the assessments. The bill provides for penalties in case of violation.

PETITIONERS INCLUDE CLERKS. SHOP EMPLOYES, MERCHANTS AND BANKERS HOUSE WILL ACT TODAY.

Senator R. E. Kirkman will be the

reel pent of many telegrams asking him to support the measure repealing the anti Sunday base ball law. The

telegrams will be forwarded by repre

sentative citizens, including business

men, shop employes and clerks, who

are ardent supporters of the game.

There were many active church mem

bers included in the list.

Word was received in this city this morning that the bill providing for

the repeal of the law would be sub mitted to the house for passage today

in all probability. Immediately sever

al enthusiasts visited business men

and others asking that t'aey send telegrams to Senator Kirkman. It is known that the bill will pass the house, but the senate is doubtful. The bill provides that Sunday base ball may be played in any community

on afternoons between the hours of 2 and 6 o'clock. The base ball grounds, according to the provisions of the law must be a certain distance away from tlie nearest church in order that no religious meetings may be disturbed.

Furthermore the bill provides that an

admission fee may be charged at the gate.

Those who solicited citizens to send telegrams to Senator Kirkman stated

that they were prompted solely because they believed In the bill. They

do not know at this time whether or not a team will represent this city next summer, should the bill become a law. However it is probable that such will be the result. Similar efforts are being made In other cities. Indianapolis citizens, especially, are favoring the repeal.

BHOWII OPENS SEASON Former Local Y. M. C. A. Secretary Involuntarily Takes Plunge in the Lake. STEPS THROUGH THIN ICE

Richmond people will be interested

to know that Charles II. Brown, who

had charge of the work of raising the fund for the erection of the local Y.

M. C. A. building, has already formal

ly opened the outdoor bathing sea

son at Michigan City, where he is engaged In Y. M. C. A. work. His action,

however, was purely involuntary. A

Michigan City exchange says:

Charles H. Brown, field secretary

for the Y. M. C. A., took the first bath

of the season in Lake Michigan about 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon. It might

be suspected that he had become tired

waiting for the completion of the Y,

M. C. A. swimming pool, or that the spring-like weather induced an irre6istable impulse to take a plunge, but

such was not the case. The act was

entirely involuntary. Mr. Brown simply stepped on a spot where the ice was not strong enough to support his weight and he went through into the

icy water up to his chin. By making good use of his finely developed mus

cles he managed to pull himself out and walk ashore. The weather being

warm Mr. Brown did not immediately

seek the comforting heat of stove and

send for a change of clothes, but walk

ed up town and to his room, leaving

behind a drizzle that told of his condi

tlon.

He had been market master and inspector of weights and measures for about three years. His associates at tlie city building state a more conscientious man never held the office. During his administration the market house on South Sixth street was improved greatly. Repairs were made and accommodations provided so that

the place can be made use of throughout the entire year Instead of only in t je summer months, as previously. It was known Mr. Walterman wan greatly chagrined and mortified by the criticism of the condition of the walks about the market house by Mr. Von Plen.

Mr. Walterman attempted to clear the walks and his exposure followed.
