A SURRENDER

BY BOARD TO TRACTION CO. .To End National Road Fight a Compromise Offered Which Virtually Meets Demand's of Company. (Continued from Fage One.) other compromise proposition was to be sprung. Contractor Cronln has been delayed in bis work by the inactivity- of tho traction company in complying with the commiftsloners's original orders to remove the tracks, and, to say, the least, the delay has been annoying to Cronln. Mr. Study placed before tho board the details of the proponed compromise. When the question arose as to whether Cronln would give up his old contract and accept a new one, under the proposed new specifications for the improvement, if he is given credit for what he , has done already, Mr, 8tudy said, "I think so." Cronln was summoned before the board and said It would be satisfactory. It was intimated the commissioners knew nothing about this proposed com promlso until on Thursday morning when they were summoned to meet in special session. Attorney Johnson aid he had discussed the proposition, without binding the commissioners in ny manner, with Judge D. W. Cornstock, associate counsel for the traction company. Johnson Waa Frank. Mr. Johnson states the advantages of such a fair compromise were that If accepted by the company. It would put an end to the delay in completing the Improvement, whereas if litigation ensued it might bo several years before the work was completed; that a forty foot highway was sufficient, and further, the expense to the township taxpayers would be lessened by the construction of a narrower rood. The commissioners first thought thai company ought to pay for the work already done, which will only be of benefit to the company, but, when they learned from Cronln that the expense of this work waa not more than $1,500, waived this point, by deciding to pay this cost as a further inducement to the company to accept the compromise. On Saturday when the offer Is to be made, the contractor will know definitely what is the value of the work he did for the township and what the board of commissioners proposed to pay him as a benefit to the company. By the petition of over five hundred taxpayers of the township, the road was to have been forty-six feet wide and free of car tracks. The contract accepted by Cronln called for a $52,000 expenditure. If a new contract ts made for a forty foot highway, the work will coat somewhere in the neighborhood of $40,000. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS . Eden 8. Martlndale to Elizabeth J. Smith.

SURPRISING FACTS Oil PUBLIC HEALTH WERE POINTED OUT

Expert Tells Life Insurance Presidents 30 Per Cent of People Use Well Water When Unnecessary. (Continued from Page One.) - extent to which they make use of some other source of Bupply. The extent to which city water is used varies probably from 20 per cent to close to 100 per cent, and although It is Impossible to obtain exact figures upon the whole probably 70 per Vent is a high estimate of the average percentage of inhabitants using city water in cities of 50,000 inhabitants and over. The remaining 30 per cent or more obtained their water supply elsewhere and mainly from wells supplying surface water; nearly all of which wells were subject to contamination and many of which actually were contaminated. Question of Sewage. "Coming to the question of sewage, the percentage of population living in houses connected with the sewer var-' led from 20 per cent to 95 per cent with an average of probably less than 60 per cent although here also it was difficult to obtain exact figures. In two cities (one of them one of the largest cities in the country) the board of health had no authority to compel residents to connect houses with the sewer on streets that were properly sewered and properly furnished with city water; but as a rule the cities had this authority but the extent to which this authority was used varied greatly. In general it can be said it is possible to find many cities in the country that have spent millions of dollars for sewers and for extending the city water system and yet from a quarter to more than half of the inhabitant's live in houses that are not connected with the sewer and In a great number of such cases the situation is a closet with no sewer connection and nearby a well furnishing surface water, and constant danger of contamination; and it cannot bo said that these are entirely new sections of a growing city where sewer and water mains have not been extended. A large number of these cases are on streets that have not been sewered and have been furnished with water mains, and frequently In the oldest and most thickly populated parts of the city.-. - I Dispose of Garbage. "In regard to the disposal of garbage, conditions in most cities were unsatisfactory. The most sanitary way of disposing of garbage is probably to burn it. About half a dozen of the cities investigated had incineration plants and as a rule these plants were working inia reasonably satisfactory manner and if they fere not it was generally because the work of collecting the garbage for burning was sub ject to political influences with unfavorable results. In the great majority of cases the garbage is dumped on vacant lots, frequently within the city limits and sometimes not far from the heart of the city. , "Ordinances for inspection of milk, meat 8 and perishable provisions were quite general, and it is clear that they are being enforced with increasing effectiveness every year; but successful work of this kind depends mainly upon three things; freedom from political control, a competent and particularly a courageous board of health and a strong public opinion in favor of thorough enforcement of the work." TWO ARRESTED FOR . KIDNAPPING BABY Logansport. Ir.d.. June 9. A baby taken by its father, Joseph Ray, from the home of his wife in Kokomo, several days ago, was found at the home of David Lowry, the stepfather of Ray, ten miles south of Logansport. and the baby returned to its mother, F. A. Johnson pnd Charles Wright, who accompanied the father when the baby was kidnapped, have been arrested and taken to Kokomo. The father has not yet been found.

GIVE PARCELS POST SYSTEM A HEARING Party Leaders Convinced It Must Be Started-Ques-tion Up June 16. Washington, D. C, June 9. The Democratic organization in the house of representatives have started the movement for parcels post legislation by arranging for hearing all bills proposing the package carrying system. The hearings will begin on June 16. That a parcels post system will be established by the present congress is the settled conviction of Republican and Democratic leaders alike. But whether the legislation will be enacted at the regular session, beginning next December, or at the final session of a year later, and whether it will be an experimental or a comprehensive package carrying system are undetermined questions. Effect on Next Election. With the increasing demand for the inauguration 'of a cheap parcel transportation system, the leaders of both of the principal parties realize that it would be politically expedient to pass the legislation before the presidential campaign comes on next year. But the express companies are fighting the plan with desperate energy and so

far they have been the masters of the j situation. As the express trust is re-, puted to be a heavy contributor to the national campaign funds of two parties It may bo powerful enough to prevent the enactment of the legislation by this congress. While there will be no attempt to pass any of the numerous pending parcels post bills at this special session, attention will be concentrated on the series of hearings on the proposition conducted by the subcommittee of the' house postoffice committee. Chairman Lloyd of the subcommittee has announced he would call his associates together on June 14 for a preliminary consideration of the subject and that the public hearing' would begin on June 16. Seek to Hear All Sides The scope of the investigation will be without limit. The members of the committee desire to hear the -views of the postal officials, the managers of the mail order houses, the local retail merchants, the rural residents and any other persons whose interests would be affected. The hearings may not be concluded during the special session. Chairman Lloyd believes the hear ings will produce all of the information necessary for the framing of an adequate parcels post bill. It is his idea that this ground work will be completed this summer so that a bill can be reported early in the regular session. The per capita annual production of lumber in this country is now approximately 500 board feet, and was probably a little greater in 1907.

REHEARSE SPECTACLE

But Leading Actor, the King Was Absent. (National News Association) London, June 8. The first actual rehearsal of the coronation of King George was held Thursday in Westminster Abby, although King George himself was not present. The scene was a brilliant 'one with the peers and ladies of the court, who will take part in the ceremonies of June 22, going through their various parts. To the Duke or Norfolk, as Earl Marshal, falls the duty of stage managing of the great spectacle and under his direction those who participate must study and learn their parts just as actors preparing for a theatrical production. 3.,, There is one exception to this rule,' however, the King, who is rehearsed by the archbishop of Canterbury and by the dean and chaplain of Westminster. The bearers of the four swords practice carrying walking sticks, and those who follow the king in the royal processions through the streets are instructed in the.manner of walk. Even the shouts of "God save the King." are rehearsed so that the voices will fall in unison. Following the rehearsals of form and etiquette there will be others in full dress. The procession from the palace to the church was also rehearsed and a large force of police was necessary to keep back the crowds of curious spectators, many thinking that the King was in the procession struggled for positions where they could see the line. The King has returned from Aldershot where he witnessed military maneuvers and Informally inspected the troops. BATHERS CATCH A 54-POUND CATFISH Clay City. Ind.. June - 9. Three young men from Middlebury Charles Vanhorn, George Cooprider and Will Hurst while bathing in a swimming hole in Eel river, two miles south of Neal's mill, found a catfish fast in a partly submerged hollow tree. The fish was captured and taken to Jasonville. It weighed fifty-four pounds. HOPE ENTERTAINED FOR HIS RECOVERY The condition of Everett Tracy, the 16-year-old negro youth who was run over by an interurban car Tuesday night and horribly cut and mangled, was reported as little changed at the Reid Memorial hospital this afternoon. Hope is entertained for his recovery. oo

RICHMOND'S LEADING HOME FURNISHERS

$33,900 MARK HAS NOW BEEN REACHED - Penn College in Iowa, Earlham Learns, Was Able to Raise $100,000 Fund.

EARLHAM DEBT FUND. Previously acknowledged ....$32,903 New pladges 1,00 Today's total $33,903 President Kelly, Chairman Pearson and other leaders in the campaign to raise $50,000 for Earlham college by June 21, have just received word of the successful completion of a similar campaign for $100,000 for Penn College at Oskaloosa, la. One of the features of the Iowa campaign which stands out in contrast with the Earlham campaign is that Mahaska county, in which Penn college is situated, volunteered, and did raise $50,000. . ' "It was a "big thing to do," said President Kelly, "and it is greatly to the credit of the people of that community. I am informed that the citizens of Oskaloosa alone gave $40,000 and the balance of the $50,000 came from the county. . "Now, if a county in Iowa can raise $50,000 Wayne county in Indiana certainly will give what has been asked. In Iowa $50,000 was requested of the people of Mataatka county. Here we. are asking $10,000 Just one-fifth of the amount from - the people of Wayne county. I am sure they will give it and it is certain that the credit will be just as great. A community Is entitled to Just as much credit if its people meet the demand that is made upon them. We will not object if the people of Richmond and Wayne county go farther than $10,000, but we will be satisfied with that amount." Tells of the Work. David M. Edwards, president of Penn college, in a letter to Chairman Pearson says : "The people have Responded promptly and beyond our most sanguine expectations. If we had the endurance to carry the matter oh through the summer I believe $75,000 could be raised in this county. One matter of interest in the Iowa campaign is that of the $40,000 sub At Conbey's

scribed In Oskaloosa, tho pledges came from all classes of people, "from washerwomen to millionaires," as President Edwards puts it. And he adds, "the former giving more in proportion, Forty of the leading business men of Oskaloosa gave up practically their entire -time during the month of May to the canvass of their city. They were organized into small committees and were assigned to the various townships. They got their "start" in one day when 100 men raised $25,000 in twenty-four hours. Has Given Courage. The success of the Oskaloosa campaign has given additional courage to the leaders in the Earlham campaign. They feel that whatever can be done in Iowa can be done as well or better in Indiana. And now, with Richmond and Wayne county to hear from during the next ten days, they are confident that the Earlham campaign will be successful. , " They are not, however, leaving anything to chance. Everything, that can be planned in advance is being planned. Arrangements for the supper and

meeting of the joint committees from the Commercial club, the Young Men's Business club and Earlham col lege, have gone forward and it is ex pected that a definite plan for the canvass will be presented and adopt ed. President Kelly and Chairman Pear son are anxious that the campaign begin promptly Monday and that every day be utilized. At the most there are only eight working days before the announcement of the outcome Is to be made at Earlham college. Headquarters will be established down town in' some suitable place and the men who are to assist actively will probably be paired teams and assign ed to definite territory. V Pledges continue to come in from outside Wayne county, two Indianapolis men, with a pledge of $500 each, being responsible for today's increase of $1,000. The fund 'has practically reached $34,000 and will probably be close to $35,000 tomorrow afternoon. Tomorrow is the last day of the campaign outside Wayne county as the plan was made originally, but in order to obtain the $5,000 needed to make the fund $40,000 from . other counties, this general campaign will be continued until the goal is reached. This may be before June 21, or It may take until the last day. . ' 9th and Main. "The place you get the most change back." oo it before winter comes . , . 025,027 and 020 MAIN
