MAKE OBJECTIONS TO THE PROPOSED HIGHWAY CLOSING

American Telegraph and Telephone Company Remonstrates Against Elimination of North F Street. GAAR, SCOTT COMPANY PETITIONED CLOSING Inuendoes of H. U. Johnson, Attorney for Remonstrator, Rebuked by President of the Board of Works. Declaring that Gaar, Scott & Company is asking the board of works to ajuse the statutes of the state of Indiana and to disregard the contract lights of the American Telegraph and Telephone company, Attorney Henry U. Johnson this morning appeared be fore the board and entered a remon etrance to the petition of the manufacturing plant for the vacation of Jnorth P street. His objections were touched in no uncertain terms and the whole attempt of the firm to gain possession of the street was denounced as selfish and unlawful. It so happens that years ago the main leads of the long distance lines of the Central Union or "Bell' telel'hone' system were built along North V street. These wires carry the principal communication between New York and St. Louis and the American Telegraph and Telephone company, row the holding corporation, objects to shifting JU, lines to make way for the proposed lw boiler works unless properly reumbursed and, guaranteed a permanent' right-of-way' through, the property. Private negotiations were begun somVtlm between H. M. Romberg, of Port, Wayne, outside legal agent of the wire system, and Howard Campbell and Frank? Land, of the lo caf concern, but being unable to agree fully, upon terms, the matter was brought before the board of works in a remonstrance. Demand by Johnson. Attorney Johnson declared that the City could not legally abrogate the easement granted seventeen years ago In ' an ordinance permitting the telephone system the use of the streets of Richmond, and demanded that the board of works either refuse further to consider the petition or insist upon Gaar, Scott & Co., granting permanent rights through their property. Will i Campbell, who appeared for the manufacturing firm, asserted that this (Continued on "Page Eight)

MIX, MAHOMET & THE MOUNTAIN A Poet from Portugal sized the situation up and down some hun- . dreds of years ago. "If the mountain will not go to Mahomet, let Mahomet go to the mountain." . Otherwise "Go to it!; On the bright escutcheon of the Day's Work belonging to Mr. Mix you will find that blazoned in big type, written by his own hand but remodeled. Mahomet may be a Solar Myth. Mix? Melville W. Mix of Mishawaka, Indiana. Mainspring extraordinary.

Hear now: Iu Eighteen Hundred Ninety-tour, at the.death of Wallace H. Dodge, President, of the Dodge Manufacturing Company, some one was needed to take the tiller and steer the business ship outward and onward to a bigger and better prosperity. Mix of Miltown was the man unanimously chosen for the work. Mix's years then numbered Just thirty. Under Mix's guidance, the business has more than twice doubled. Every foreign market has been invaded, and now the sun never sets on the Dodge "Idea." Every piece of Special Machinery manufactured by the Dodge Force is set up and given the extreme test before It is shipped. Nothing blows off or busts after it's delivered to you. Mix holds all his Old Customers while he goes out after New Ones. In the Shipping Department in Mishawaka are goods marked China, FJrazil, Alaska, Persia, France, South Africa. Japan, England and Everywhere. No Territory is safe when Mix start3 to make a Sale." That is what Elbert Hubbard says. . Mix must be remarkable for his methods. Then his methods ought to be looked into. That is pretty easy because they follow you every where you go. Mix is going to YOU. Mix is about the largest advertiser in the United States today. Pick up Collier's. The Saturday Evening Post, the magazines and the LEADING NEWSPAPERS in every community and there you find MIX.

Mix is going to It strong. What would you do it you wereselling transmission machinery? Is it probable that you would do that? r. It's the first time that that has been done. AND NOW Mix went to the Mountain. THE MOUNTAIN IS COMING TO MIX. Mahomet sat and -looked at it MIX MAKES IT PLAIN TO THE MOUNTAIN NOT ONLY THAT THERE IS A PLEASANT WELCOME. BUT THAT THERE ARE EXCEPTIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE WHOLE MOUNTAIN RANGE. . Many of us do not use transmission machinery. If my friend, Mr. Mix cannot sell transmission machinery by using SELLING TALK to all the people la the United States he has remodeled the Portuguese proverb and proved that advertising is the greatest force in the world. And Mix it not wasting cash in this deal. But if we do not use transmission machinery, there are. things two thirds of the people in this community DO USE. Mix uses the Palladium.

FIGHT PROMOTERS PLAN TO ENJOIN STATE OFFICIALS

Gleason and Rickard Will Make a Contest to Have JeffriesJohnson Match Pulled Off in Frisco. IF THE PLAN FAILS RENO GETS THE MILL Two Heavyweights Continue Training and Positive Statement Is Made That the Scrap Will Occur. San Francisco, June 16. Jack Gleason and other prize fight promoters will apply for an injunction to prevent the state authorities from pre venting the Johnson-Jeffries fight in San Francisco. Failing In this plan, Reno, Nevada, probably will be select ed. Promoters announce the fight will surely be pulled off and the prin cipals are continuing training. "Well, if we really can't hold the fight here, we can hold it in Nevada," Gleason' said. "You knowthey passed a law there for the Corbett-Fitzsim-nions fight, taking away all restrictions. That law is standing yet. Salt Lake? Oh, I can't say anything about that." McKean is Confident. Jack McKean, confidential man of Gleason and the latter's partner. Tex Rickard, said: "The fight will be held in San Francisco." Rickard himself, at the St. Francis hotel, his headquarters, said that there was not the slightest possibility of the fight being called off. "Its too bad they couldn't have made up their minds before we had sunk $25,000 or more getting ready right here in San Francisco," he said. "But Mr. Webb has promised to let me know by tomorrow whether we can hold the tight, here or not He's dig ging up on the legal side of the ques- j tion." ' RENO IS EXPECTANT. Reno, Nev., June 16. This city expects to get the Jeffries-Johnson fight if it is barred from San Francisco. "It is known that Tex Rickard is anxious to have the fight come here unless he can succeed in winning over the California authorities. Reno has offered to pay the state license of $1,000. Ely is willing to build the arena and pay a bonus of $25,000, and Salt Lake is so anxious to get the fight that it would be willing to put up the arena. But despite all this. Reno is believed to be the first choice. If the fight takes place in Nevada it will be pulled off without any interference whatever. ARE RAISING BASS Twelve Thousand Spawn in Broodery of Wayne Coun ty Game Association. WILL STOCK THE STREAMS Twelve thousand spawn of the little black bass variety are being raised in the brooderies of the Wayne county game and fish protective association west of the city. In addition to this number are several thousand spawn of the same variety which were raised in the pond and it is probable that the pond will be drained In order to capture them. As soon as the spawn are of sufficient size they will be placed in different streams of the county. Within a year or two it is expected that they will be large enough to catch. The association is taking this means of restocking the streams of the county with game fish. One of the large male bass in the broodery was evidently dissatisfied with the nests which had been prepared and he carried stones about the size of a nickel in his mouth about 40 feet distant and built a nest. The nest was the size of a dish pan. One and two stones at a time were carried. AIR FAMILY QUARREL. A family squabble In Fairriew was brought into the police court this morning when Mrs. Mary Wecker was arrested for assault and battery, the charge sworn to by one of her neighbors. A quarrel between neighborhood children brought the mothers to blows across a paling fence.. The case was continued until tomorrow. THE WEATHER, STATE Unsettled weather tonight and Friday.

President Taft Pays His Compliments To Homeward Bound Ex-President

BY PRESIDENT W. H. TAFT (Outlook, June 16th.) The return of Mr. Roosevelt from Africa and Europe ought to arouse and will arouse as great a demonstration of welcome from his countrymen as any American ever received. After the heavy tares of the presidential office for nearly eight strenuous years he sought rest by contrast in the depths of the African forests and in great physical exertion in the hunting of large game sad the procuring of valuable specimens of the fauna of the dark continent.' No 'one who knows Mr. Roosevelt, and no one who understands the character of the African climate and the kind of hunting in which he was engaged, can minimize the dangers from disease and actual combat with wild beasts to which he was exposed. It goes w ithout saying that wherever there were was danger he welcomed its excitement and delighted to observe ajrd record its effect upon his emotions. His trip to Africa was planned with the thoroughness of a military campaign, and his plans were exevuted with the vim and energy that might be expected. In view of what hanpened when he reached civilization, however, those of us who had the privilege of talking with him before he went can afford to have some fun at his expense in his frequently avowed determination to avoid all public functions and entertainments. He expected to call on the persons in authority in each place which he visited, to have half an hour conversation with the ruler if he would receive him, and then go on his way like a private citizen, seeing the things of interest and hurrying home. Instead of that, his path from the time he landed in Europe until he sailed has been a royal progress, and the courtesy and attention and profound respect shown him, not only by kings and the leading men of the country, but also by the people, have not been equaled since Grant made his tour about the world. This is the more remarkable because Grant had the deserved reputation of being a great military leader who had commanded a million men and won a war of gigantic extent; while Mr. Roosevelt's achievements which have given him the standing before the world have begn almost wholly in peaceful times, and in war against' clrfStlg and corruption, which ordinarily is not spectacular and does not command world wide attention. The remarkable character of the reception that he has had in Europe shows the doe inWORK NEARLY OVER County Board Has About Finished Work of Assessing Corporations.
