lien the valuation now and use that as a basis to determine whether or not the rates are satisfactory. Henry Gennett, cnairman of the public service corporation committee of the Commercial club, made a protest against the profit sharing plan based on the net earnings of the company. He asked the council to refer to the report of the Commercial club committee in which it recommended that the profit sharing plan be on the basis of gross receipts instead of net receipts as provided in the proposed contract. S. E. Swayne, president of the Commercial club, also spoke against the profit sharing plan on a basis of net receipts, saying that it would be very hard to determine just what the net receipts would be. He said that the matter would probably get into court. He said he favored a profit sharing plan on the basis of gross receipts as the gross receipts could develope no dispute. William Dudley Foulke, also a member of the Commercial Club committee, said that he did not concur in the views of some of the other members of the committee and he really favored the profit sharing plan on the basis of net earnings, as it would be very hard to arrive at a fair amount on the gross receipts and still allow the company to have a fair return on its investment. It is the plan of the council and board of works to now prepare the specifications in the form in which they are to" remain and then let the matter rest for awhile before finally adopting the specifications. They say that there will be no effort made to rush the specifications through but that everyone will be given an opportunity to be heard on any objections or suggestions they wish to make. In answer to the question as to whether or not the city's right to purchase was transferable, Mr. Johnson answered that It was and that it was bo held by all the attorneys for the city.

ARMY GETS ORDERS. WASHINGTON, Aug. 21. Unable to send additional marines to Nicaragua in time to assist the Americans and other foreigners who are threatened with annihilation by the rebels, the

state department today ordered Major General Wood of the general staff of the army to hold soldiers at Panama ready for instant movement on Nicaragua. General Wood ordered the Tenth infantry at Panama City, formerly stationed at Indianapolis, to be prepared to embark instantly if word is received from Minister Weitzel that more troops are needed.

GETS BIG CONTRACT

The city light plant has closed a contract for a year with Philip Hipskind and Sons, for current to operate the new stone crusher to be placed in the Hipskind stone crushing plant, south of the city.

Instructors at the local Y. M. C. A. will devote their entire time and at

tention this year to the interests of the association. The board of trustees has discontinued the custom of permitting other institutions of the city to employ the instructors for a part of their time. One of the results of the change will be that Roy Horton, physical director of the association, will not have charge of the physical training department at the high school, but will give the Y. M. C. A. hi3 undivided attention. The action of the trustees removes the necessity of an assistant physical instructor. Miles N. Calkins, former assistant physical director, has accepted a similar position with the Y. M. C. A.

at Dallas, Texas. During the Chautauqua season the games in the Sunday School league will be discontinued. The Presbyterian team is in the lead. The league has been conducted under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. The physical department committee at a meeting to be held soon will arrange for the athletic work' of the year. It is not known what active gym work will be resumed. Secretary Weed stated today that the public has taken kindly to the dining room feature of the association and that the establishment has been well patronized.
