LOCAL SHIPPERS ARE PLEASED BY SALE OF C. C. & L. Richmond Business Men Will Place More Confidence in Road Now That It Is Owned by the C. & 0. R. R.

BETTER COMPETITION MEANS GOOD SERVICE With Direct Access to Ohio and West Virginia Fields It is - Thought Rates on Coal Will "Tumble." Until the actual transfer takes place and the road passes under the active management of the Hawley railroad policy, the full significance of the sale of the C, C. & L. to the Chesapeake and Ohio will not be grasped by Richmond shippers, but for the present, there Is everything to gain and nothing to lose. As an Independent line, hampered by heavy grades, poor equipment and lack of finances, the road has been far from attractive to manufacturers who could route their goods by way of competing systems. "With the backing of the C. & O., shippers will place more confidence in the C, C. & L. and the road should come into the business It deserves by virtue of its route through one of the richest manufacturing sections in the country. According to shippers who have made a study of the freight situation, rates will probably remain about the same, the benefit to both railroad and shipper being due to the Improved facilities and financial backing that will follow at once when the new owners assume control. These will be enough In themselves to guarantee to Richmond manufactuerrs better service on the Pennsylvania and other lines on account of the Increased competition. , , ,-w-- -New Seaboard Line. The Atlantic seaboard, as well as 11 points on the Clover Leaf, the Chicago and Alton and several other lines running out of St Louis and Chicago, will be reached without the necessity of slow and costly freight Interchange at either terminal. As regards the rate on coal Receiver Goodrich has said that with its Cincinnati connections running into the Pennsylvania and West Virginia coal fields, the C, C. & L. should be able to give the best possible rate on fuel and probably force the Pennsylvania' to lower Its tariffs on this commodity from the Indiana and Illinois fields, which are nearer. Richmond has never bad a satisfactory freight rate on coal, although other manufacturing cities in the state, no nearer the fields than Richmond, have been able to obtain cheaper fuel on account of railroad competition. It is hardly possible that the change In ownership will affect the suits pending that seek freight interchange in this city between the C C. & L. and the Pennsylvania. In fact the older system will have all the more reason for objecting to an interchange that would turn over freight to a road that now competes east and west, as well as north nd south. The matter is now In the supreme court, having been appealed by the Pennsylvania. . Richmond shippers express themselves as glad that the road is now assured of financial backing and their confidence will soon be returned. For the past three or four years It has been a hazardous undertaking to route valuable goods via the C. C. & L. on account of the danger of delay or wreck. In either event, it was almost Impossible to collect damages, hence business has been turned over to the Pennsylvania. Secretary Haas, of the Commercial club says the sale of the road and Us connection with the Chesapeake & Ohio, will work a pronounced benefit upon Richmond manufacturers and shippers.

A KINDLY MELLODY. New Paris, O., June 24. Thomas Mellody, the popular town marshal of this place, is so solicitous about the welfare of lawbreakers, who are very scarce in this town, that almost nothing is too good for them while in his custody. He is always prepared for any emergency. A few days ago, when it was very warm he wiped off the cob webbs from the lock up latch and entering, tried to raise one of the windows. It was stuck tight, and, securing a hammer he broke the window pane. He said it was essential that air be admitted to the cell for under the existing circumstances a prisoner would have suffocated. The citizens generally were very much pleased with his foresight.

It Has Been Indirect Cause of One Death and One Genuine Prostration Is Result Here to Date. LOCAL PHYSICIANS GIVE GOOD ADVICE Warn People to Eat Sparingly and Not to Partake of Very Cool Drinks Don't Eat Very Much Meat. Although there has been but one genuine heat prostration case reported by the physicians of the city, there has been a death and an unusually large number of cases of sickness due to the warm weather. The case of heat prostration was that of the four year old child of Fred Weaver and wife, residents of "Happy Hollow." The child was playing in the sun, near the river and was overcome. Its condition was at first serious but it is improving rapidly. The death of Levi Routsom. employed at the Pennsylvania freight depot, earlier in the week was due to heart trouble, induced by over heating of the body. No Serious Cases. Stomach trouble are unusually prevalent at present, according to the physicians. In nearly every instance the ailment is due to the warm weather. Very few of these cases are of a serious nature and recovery is assured after a few days of quiet and rest in as cool a place as possible. The heat has been especially severe on old persons and babies. Not so much the fact that it has been unusually warm as the fact the weather change was too sudden Is blamed by physicians for the existing conditions. Many were still wearimretheir heavirletfchjwhen ..the sudden change came and in changing clothing suitable for the season, ailments resulted. Some Sound Advice. If advice of the physicians is followed people will be very careful about what they eat and drink. Ice cream and very cold drinks are not expected to improve one's health. Physicians are also advising their patients to diet and not eat much meat. Yesterday was the warmest day of the year and one of the warmest in June for the past ten years. The thermometer touched the 93 degree mark in the afternoon. At the pumping station this afternoon about 1 o'clock It was 91 degrees and Walter Vossler, who is a close observer of weather conditions, expected a little later in the afternoon it would be even warmer. The maximum daily temperatures for the week are as follows: Sunday, 89; Monday, 89; Tuesday, 91; Wednesday, 90; Thursday, 95 and today 91.

APPREHENSION OF CHARLTON CAUSES A BiG SENSATION

Italy Wonders at Stand Taken by Ambassador Leishman Who Insisted the Murderer Was Not Alive. EXTRADITION MAY BE COMPLICATED AFFAIR Although It Is Reported from Hoboken, Italy Will Not Insist on His Return Insanity Is Alleged. (American News Service Rome, Italy, June 24. The 'oreign office today received a request from the officers at Como to begin Immediately extradition proceedings for the return of Porter Charlton to Italy to be tried for the murder of his wife. The arrest of Charlton in America has caused a tremendous sensation in j official circles because of the stand taken by Ambassador Leishman and Consul Caughey in insisting that Charlton was himself a victim wih. I his wife. The secret service declares that If the matter had been left in the hands of the American officials, Charlton probably would have escaped, at least for a longer time. The Italian police, however, by keeping close-watch on vessels was enabled to give the first hint that he was on board the Princess Irene. The extradition proceedings will result in a muddle over the construction of the present treaty on that subject between the two countries. As the Italian government has held that the treaty did not provide for the sur render of its own citizens it is believ ed here that the United States may take the same action or use the pres ent situation as a lever, by which to hbring-X.'bout an effective agreement by which Italy will be forced to surrender her. citizens wanted in America.

SINGLE COPT, 8 CUNTS. DELEGATES TOUR CITY YESTERDAY III AUTOMOBILES But Owing to the Clouds of Dust the Parading Cars Separated and Paraded all by Their "Lonesome."

DUTCH LUNCH SERVED IN BEALLVIEW PARK And the guests of the City Encountered True GermanAmerican Hospitality "Blick" Was Toastmaster. Glidden trials in quest of Glidden trophies were not to be compared to the difficulties encountered by the Municipal League delegates who yesterday toured Richmond in automobiles. The pace set by Mayor Zimmerman, leading in his own car, was a hot one and the dust he raised was in proportion. City Engineer Charles sat by the Mayor's side holding the plan of campaign which he had worked out previously. But the city engineer in working out the route to be taken must have counted on a cooling shower to lay the dust The shower did not come and the weary delegates worn out by the long forenoon session at the city hall were refreshed by fanning breezes highly surcharged with Richmond's clay. In many places the citizens heeding the mayor's request had0 sprinkled the streets, and here the' autoists sped along delightfully.- But along some parts of the route the dust was ankle deep. The worst clouds of dust were encountered on the road to Reid Memorial hospital and la West Richmond. The parade consisted of twenty cars uiuieuva UJ AJVUIUUUU MlW IllBIiuIeSC turers and dealers. After the first few minutes run many of the cars coald not follow the mayor's lead because of the clouds of dust. They toured the city Independent of the regular parade. 8ee Places of Interest Reid Memorial hospital. Glen Mil-, ler, Earlham : and Easthaven were among the places visited. At the lower entrance to the Glen an arch had been erected bearing the word "Welcome" on one side and on the reverse side, "Good-by, Come again." The ride finally came to an end at Beallview pavilion where lunch was served with true German hospitality.. The German Maennerchor of the South Side furnished the music Speeches were made by Mayor Shank of Indianapolis, Henry U. Johnson, Perry J. Freeman, Mayor Becker of Hammond. President of the League Lemuel Darv row of Laporte, William .Buckhoff. manager of the new National Tool Works, and Herman Swicker. Adolph Blickwedel acted as toastmaster. Mayor Becker who was himself born in Germany made the hit of the occasion. He gave part of his speech In . German, and then for the benefit of those present who could not . understand the Deutach. he switched to English. He paid a high compliment to the German population of America saying that the Germans because of their in-. telligence and Inherent thrift and honesty, fit into our Institutions and become our best citizens. . The speaker, however, decried the fact that today German, immigration has fallen off and in place of the races of Northern Europe we are getting the Inferior blood from Southern Europe. Praise for Richmond. - All the delegates were loud In their praise of the treatment they received in Beallview and praised the work done by the South Side Improvement association. ' All the prominent delegates speaking of the city said it was the most beautiful place for its size they had ever seen. Mayor Shank said: "With the exception of a few pounds) of dust In my eyes, which marred my vision I had a splendid ride. Tour city is certainly the gem of Eastern Indiana.' Mayor Becker said: ' "If I should sell out my real estate holdings in Hammond I should certainly come to Richmond to spend the rest of my days., It Is a delightful city." Mayor Lemuel Darrowsald: ' "Your hospitality here is splendid1 to see and great to enjoy. Richmond is a beautiful city with improvements well proportioned. Its industry seems equal to its beauty."
