TRACTION MEETING HELD HERE FRIDAY To Inspect Plans for Southern Line Prepared by a Traction Man. The general manager of the Northern Indiana Traction line conterred with a member of the committee which recently. has been investigating the possibility of securing a traction line south of Richmond to Cincinnati, and as a result of the plans he submitted for such a road as a part of a system to be known as the South Bend, Richmond and Southeastern Traction company, hope was expressed that the proposed road may become a reality in accordance with the tracliion manager's plans by December 1, 1912. In general, the tract. on manager has planned a road soutli of Richmond into Cincinnati much after the plans of the local committee and a prospectus which he has completed sets forth all details and specifications. A few changes will have to be made in his plans to agree with those of the loclil committee, and he has consented to make the changes on the ground of their advisability. He says there is no reason why the road should not be completed by December of 1912. lie proposes the organization of a company to build a network of traction lines from South Bend to Cincinnati with Richmond as the hub, which j would include a line south, proposed j and planned by the local committee. S A meeting of the committeemen from I this city and citizens from the tow ns along the proposed route, who have become interested in the matter, will be held Friday morning at which time the general traction manager will submit his plans and suggest that a company be formed to build the road according to his specifications and later become a part of the system which

"Anti-Bailey" Democrats in Coalition with Republican Insurgents.

(Palladium Special) Washington, D. C, March S.-FIans for a coalition of the progressives in j the senate iu both parties, with parties, with a view of securing action ou the Canadiau reciprocity bill and for moderate reductions of the tariff are under way. i The Democrats in the movement are ; Known as Anti-Bailey senators. One j of the plans contemplates the seizure

of the committees of the senate and(R Northern

w orking a complete reorganization, j mis could oe accomplished only uy a fusion. The Democrats who are in ; line with the movement say that it is ecessary to save the Democratic party and a,SQ tQ conserve tne program for tariff reduction. The low tariff) Democrats fear that their party in the senate is much in the same position tha(. it wag a(. th? time the wilson imdcr consi(Jeration when a senate cabe, hel(1 up the measure and dictated terms by a threat of defeating the whole Democratic scheme of tariff reform. Senator "Bill" Stone, of Missouri, is carrying on the negotiations with the Republican progressives on behalf of the progressive Democrats. The plan is to elect either Cummins or Lafollette chairman of the finance committee. The fight is to be a substantial one and the Democrats engaged in it realize they are taking long chances of success but they appear to realize that the life of the Democratic party is at stake, for they feel that it is better for the future of the party that it go to pieces in an effort at fusion than to go to the next campaign on a false issue confronted by eertain defeat. The Democratic senators led byStone ask nothing for their own party now. They consent to give, progressive Republicans all committee chairmanships and will exact only that progressive Republicans show the same unselfishness in cooperating with them to put progressive Democrats in control when the Democrats are in the majority in the senate. TWO ADDLTS AGREE TO CHANGE NAMES And to Be Adopted and Become Heirs of Petitioners in Two Suits. Petitions for the adoption of two adults were filed in the circuit court on Wednesday in which the adults agreed to change their names and become the heirs of those with whom thev have been living.

Miss Cammack, who is popular in the younger set in the city and a graduate or the high school, has been living with Mr. and Mrs. Whelan for several years. While she wishes to become thejr adopted daughter and take their name as her own, her rather, . William W. Cammack. does not give his consent. It is possible the petition of the Whelans will be fought by Miss Cammack's father, notice being served on him Wednesday of the pendency of the action.

ELEVATED TRACES TO BE INSPECTED J. J. Dickinson of Indianapolis, formerly of this city, has been appointed a member of the Commercial Club committee of that place to investigate the feasibility of elevated tracks for the capital.

As proof of the need of charitable work in this city upon which the associated charites bases its plea for donations from the citizens that the worthy poor may be cared for, several pathetie and distressing cases were pointed out at a meeting of the charities association held yesterday afternoon at the headquarters on South Fifth street. One case was that of a mother with four children to car for. For several years she has been struggling along, but a few months ago the oldest girl, about 17 years of age, was taken ill with typhoid fever.

For three months she remained in a precarious condition and in the meantime two more of the children were im. 11 iu wiui me same disease, it was necessary for the mother to give up her work and with that her income ceased. She has been for some time and still la dependent upon the associated charities. Another case to which attention was called was that of a mother with six children, the youngest of whom is only four weeks old and oldest about ten years. The father is in jail waiting trial for a serious crime. The mother is unable to do any work of consequence, and has practically no income. Funds from the associated charities which unless replenished by donations will soon give out, provide the only support for the family.
