'.Author of Nicholson Law and Legislative Secretary of National "Dry" League, Is in Richmond.

HE THINKS INDIANA HAS GONE BACKWARD Predicts the People in the Next State Campaign Will Vote to Restore County local Option. j Viewing the present option law as fc farce, S. E. Nicholson, legislative superintendent of tbe Anti-Saloon league of America, with headquarters In Washington, D. C, and author of the "Nicholson Law" of Indiana, foresees that the principal issue in the 1912 state campaign will be tbe liquor question, with tbe purpose In view of rehabilitating county local option In Indiana. Mr. Nicholson has been In the city since Saturday night, renewing numerous acquaintances and to attend the commencement at Earlbam college, his alma mater. Tbe Proctor law, a creation of the last legislature, which became effect Ire In March, Is looked upon as farcical by Mr. Nicholson, because, he says Indiana took a decided step backward. Furthermore be believes the people appreciate the significance of the step nd from his observations and understanding of the situation, are ready and anxious to restore county local option to the statute books. A Backward Sttp. "Indiana has outgrown that sort of (Option legislation now on Its statutes. Tbe , state started out all right with the small unit option. which ' was strengthened by the Moore law and then the county local option " said Mr. Nicholson, "but last winter the state, which had been so progressive In the movement, took a backward step by adopting again the small unit option law. "County local option did not have fc fair show to determine its success or failure in this state In the short time It was a law." said Mr. Nicholson. "The law should have had at 'least two more years trial, in my opin ion, and I am sure that thousands of 'others In the state have come to the same conclusion and now are ready to (pledge their support to legislative candldates who will Incorporate county Wptlon In their platforms." Mr. Nicholson is regarded as tbe father of the first of modern liquor laws In Indiana, the law which bears bis name, being presented by him and 'passed by the legislature of which he was a member several years ago, as )ra representative from Howard county, Kokomo being his home until he was affiliated with the Anti-Saloon league of America. Then he first made his headquarters at Philadelphia land recently at the national capital. Has Kept In Touch. 1 While be has taken no active part In the liquor Ights in recent years In Indiana, be has kept in close touch ;wlth the situation and has been coun'seled with on many Important steps I which were taken. Since arriving In the state last week, he has met many of the dry leaders and already Is In possession of their plans, so he be lieves he knows whereof he speaks when be declares that the 1912 campalgn of Indiana will again hinge on rtbe Uquor question. In a national way the temperance forces are uniting for the enactment of the Curtiss bill, which. If passed, I will strengthen the federal power in 'coping with the situation In "dry" terTltory, pre'venting Interstate ship. Imenta of liquor Into such territory.

East Main Street Paving Improvement Not to Be Made This Year Owing to the Citv's Condition.

GLEN MILLER PARK O. K., BOARD STATES Fight to Have Street Car Tracks Removed from the Park to Come Up in Council in a Very Few Days. It was the old, old story at the board of works meeting this morning, that has been told and retold for months no money to Improve the streets. Today the board turned down the petition of the East Main street property owners for a paved street between Twentieth and Twenty-sec ond street, because of lack of funds. There has been a great deal of complaint on account of the condition of this street. It is rocky, rough and much traveled. Some time ago a petition was presented for a bouldered alley, between North E and the Pennsylvania rail road, between Seventeenth and Eigh teenth streets. The board decided that no more alleys of this material would be made and changed the resolution to read "cement." The cost of cement al leys would be heavy on property own ers, costing some of them at least $200. The city's part of this improvement is insignificant. This morning on a hearing of the resolution there was a protest against cement as con struction material. They Want Boulders. Every property owner on the street claimed that boulders Would be satisfactory,;; explaining the alley is little traveled. The improvement was tak en under advisement. Mayor Zimmer man was heard to remark, that in his opinion "they should have cement or nothing." Regarding additional cages, im provements of tbe present cages and for additional animals for the Glen "zoo," the city has no money for such purpose, it is claimed. The mayor said there are enough animals in the park; that if the superintendent or any of the employes don't like their houses they may resign; that most of the cages are new and smell no worse than those in the most up-to-date zool ogical gardens. Officials claim that the Glen is in satisfactory condition. The board decided this morning to oil all streets in front of city property where the property owners desire such improvement. The Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern Traction company returned the contract sent to it by the city some time ago, by which the Glen Miller car tracks will be removed and the use of Main street for freight cars granted to the company. There were some minor changes made by the company. City Attorney Gardner will not have the proposition ready for council until the first meeting in July. Opposition is expected. Opposition to removing the tracks from Glen Miller is expected in council. East Main street property owners, it is understood will light having the cars operated on the street. The city proposes to either make a drive way out of the cut where the Glen car tracks now are, ar fill up the excavation. Either plan will cost considerable money and will be a reason for some councilmen fighting to have the tracks remain in the park. Freight cars have been running on Main street for a. month, and there has been very little complaint. START MURDER TRIAL F. H. Henwood Faces Jury at Denver Today.

Senator Boies Penrose, chairman of the Senate committee on finance, who predicts that the Canadian reciprocity bill will be passed in the Senate by a large majority within the next two weeks. The prediction is made by other members of the Senate that the passage of the reciprocity bill will close the legislative program of the Senate. $130 OFJHE GOAL That Sum Was All Not Subscribed to Earlham Fund at Noon Today. At noon today Richmond was within $130 of the $10,000 which has, been the goal of Earlham's campaigners here. The big rally which resulted In a grand total for Richmond of $9,700 late Saturday gave assurance that the fund would be completed ? quickly here, and this morning $170 was added to the previous total. While there is no doubt that the full $10,000 will be subscribed In Richmond, the campaign managers hope that each friend of Earlham will not wait for the "other man" to send in the pledges that are needed today. In that event Earlham might wait in vain for the necessary $130. "It is another case where there might be a slip through the applica tion of the old saying that 'what is everybody's business is nobody's buslness,' " said Chairman Pearson. "We still need $130 to complete the fund of $10,000, and unless some of our friends make it . their business to see that 'we get it- well, you can see what would happen." While there will be no further solicitation or urging after the $10,000 has been , subscribed, the Earlham campaigners will not object if Richmond insists on subscribing enough more to provide a- little "lee way." The state "insists" on doing this and if Richmond feels the same way about it enough additional money will-be subscribed to take care of the expense of the -campaign and any other emergencies that may arise in its wake. Also Earlham will have more money with which to increase the efficiency and usefulness of the institution. Headquarters in the Leeds building will not be kept open after- tomorrow noon. At that time the business of the campaign will be transferred - to the library building at Earlham, which was used during the first weeks of the state campaign. Pledges will be received at the Leeds building until noon tomorrow and thereafter at the library building at Earlham. Chairman Pearson expects to give attention now to the hundreds of pledge cards that have been received. ; They will be arranged and classified so that It will be possible to show all sources of the money that has been subscribed for "debt-free Earlham. The cards will be checked and complete totals made for announcement during the commencement exercises at Earlham on Wednesday morning. An additional gift of $70 was reported this morning by the members of the sopohomore class. A few days ago they had subscribed $258. Other members of the class have since joined and tbe total from the class now has reached Z2i.
