He declared mory was the sole basis for the aristocracy of today. There are no best families and there is no blueblood, he aid. Money the Only Baals. "There li no aristocracy anywhere based on anything but the possession of money. .Biologically speaking, the great man li a sport "Many forms of greatness are accompanied by a lack of balance, while the great man breeds true, his .descendant are Just as apt to inherit tki tack of balance -as bis v genius. Ills greatness, however, wins riches, generally speaking and that' enables his descendants to keep up a certain artificial aristocracy. There is not a member of a royal family in Europe, with the exception of William the 8udden. (Emperor William) who could make his living behind a linen counter. Queen Victoria never had brains enough to make her capable of earning her living In any capacity and her son. the late king, was even worse.

' The cases in which Ward testified were tried Wednesday. Ward .was placed on the stand as prosecuting witness against Frank White. From the first Ward's attitude was sullen and at times abusive toward the court and attorneys. He was threatened with jail sentences if he did not conduct himself properly and - once was fined $1 and costs - for contempt of court. Ward continually volunteered Information and made several remarkable statements when on the stand. Once he said that If he had had a shot gun he would have killed Mets and White, when they angered him with insults.

The affidavit was sworn out by First Sergeant, Edward McNally yesterday and the defendant arrested at the plant of Robinson and Company where he Is employed as a moulder.

Hopes to Secure Figures Satisfactory Enough to Interest Capital in Building a New Traction Line.

A NORTH AND SOUTH ROAD NEEDED BADLY Neighboring Towns Are All Taking Interest in the Project and Newspapers Are Helping It Along. Richmond will have at least one new traction line within the next year if success attends the efforts ot the Commercial club. Data regarding the practicability of various proposed lines are now being collected by the of Adam H. Bartel, B. B. Johnson and Paul Comstock. The plan of the committee is to ascertain where a line la most needed and what road would be the best business investment After this has been done, the data collected will be placed before several electrical railway companies and an effort made to get these companies interested in building a road. So far the enthusiasm displayed for a north and south road has been great. Much correspondence ; has been received from Union City and other northern points, and from Liberty on the south, regarding a line connecting those points, via Richmond. . .Regarded a Fine Project. . V The Commercial club ? believes a line connecting a branch of the Ohio Electric railway at Harrison, O., and the Indiana Union tracUon at Union Gtr would prove a. fine business venture. This would mean the construe tlon of practically fifty miles of track. Harrison, O., Is connected with Cincinnati by direct electric road. Such a line would cross the Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern traction at Richmond, besides connecting other electric lines, and also cross nine divisions , of four railroad systems, the Pennsylvania, New York Central. C. H. & D. and the C. & O. It would pass through a number of Important towns. The trouble with the traction system in Eastern Indiana, as seen by the Commercial club, is that the lines are . all east and west there is no connecting line north and south. It is believed it would be easy to get companies interested in a proposition of this kind. Interest is also displayed in a line connecting New CaBtle, Hagerstown, Greensfork and Richmond. This line was once surveyed but the matter was .dropped when the financial panic occurred a few years ago. One of the encouraging features of the traction project is the fact that newspapers in Hamilton, Union City Liberty, Oxford and other surrounding towns are co-operating with Richmond newspapers in the fight for a traction line. Commercial organizations in these towns are co-operating with the Richmond Commercial club in the work. SHERIFF THINKS STINES INNOCENT 1 ' ' mil i ' ' 1 ' Says Negro First Man He Ever Took to Prison He Believed in.

In his first trial in September, he was acquitted by the jury. He does not seem to be reconciled to his fate. Sheriff Meredith returned from Michigan City on Friday evening and stated that he believed during the four years which he had served as sheriff that Stines was the first man whom be ever took "to a state penal Institution whom he believed was Innocent of the charge on which he was convicted.

CORONER HAS BEGUN HIS INVESTIGATION Will Try to Learn. If the Signal Lights Displayed Were Bright Enough to Be Seen Through a Fog. No official investigation of the Pennsylvania wreck at Glen Miller Thursday morning, will be made by officers of the road until the return of Superintendent Neff, of the Richmond division, who has been out of the city for a week. Then the responsibility for the wreck will be fixed. It is understood the train crews who were in the wreck are at the present time working, pending the result of the investigation. . , Coroner . Bramkamp has examined the. scene of the accident, but has not examined any ' of the crews or yard men. His verdict will not be given for several weeks. (. Examine Signal Lights. It is , possible the coroner i will examine the Bignal lights, 'at . the telegraph station in front of which the wreck occurred, to determine if they are bright enough to be seen through a dense tofy or through smoke. This is said to be an important matter and would revert the responsibility for the accident from the train crews and operator to the company.

POSTPOWE A CASE Parton Trial Resumed on Monday. With testimony of state's witnesses introduced and three witnesses for the defense finished with their evidence Judge Fox of the circuit court postponed the trial of the state against Alf Parton of New Castle, charged with assault and battery, with intent to murder .Marshal Dan Drlschel of Cambridge City, to Monday morning. In attempting to arrest Parton on October 1. the marshal was cut up severely. The Btate by its witnesses is making the claim that after the fight started Parton was so infuriated that it was his intention to murder the marshal. On the other band, the defense is endeavoring to show that there was no intent at all on the part of Parton to commit murder. The jury which is sitting in the case is composed of the following citizens of Wayne county: James B. Howes, George Tbornburg, Elijah Lawton, Martin L. Grose, Cftarles H. Bond. Alvin Threewlts, Frank Gilmore, Arthur A, Cheesman, Lewis H. Scbepman, John F. Pierce; Isaiah Flicker and Frank Oler. COUNTY COUNCILMEN FILE CERTIFICATES Members of the . Wayne county council, who were elected to office on November 8, have " been -sworn into office, but it Is not likely, the council will meet for organization until after January 1. All members of the council filed their certificates of election before Friday, which was required by law. William Harvey Cook, who was elected under the name of "Harvey P. Cook," filed his certificate but was not sworn in, as there is a question whether he is eligible, having been elected under the wrong name. This point will be settled by the State officials. It Is reasonably certain to expect Cook will serve as county council man. MAY ASK GOVERNOR TO THE DEDICATION Governor Thomas R. Marshall probably will be invited to deliver the principal address at the dedication of the Richmond high school.
