L CAMP FIELD IS RESTLESS OVER DELAYS

He Thinks It Would Be Nice to Allow the Companies to Submit Their Self-made Contracts. (Continued from Page One) bid, but we do not want two or three years delay, as has been with the water works franchise. Some may attempt to explain that the delay of the water works franchise, and by its postponement causing a delay in the gas franchise, is for the benefit of the citizens of Richmond. We are unable to see how these delays are beneficial. The people who are footing the bills and paying more for water and more for gas than they should pay and the property owners who are also paying the highest rates of insurance certainly do not see it that way. He Wants Square Deaf. If the proper franchise is prepared and bids asked for many of these extra costs may be eliminated. We stand ready to bid and give bond for the above franchise, but we want a fair deal, and a franchise that is written so that it can be financed and be workable. If you are unable to agree on a franchise we suggest that you let the bidders prepare one and submit it for your approval. It seems to us that the last proposed franchise was written so that we could not bid. s In preparing your proposals for bids, If you will consider that it takes two to make a contract and that a one sided contract bo proposed is only waste of time and loss of money to the people, and will also look over our objections to the last proposed contract and franchise dated October 28th, J912, you can doubtless prepare a proposition that will be acceptable. But, on the other hand, if you choose to ignore the bidders' rights and prepare writings to suit your own Ideas, whether same can be' financed or not, or whether same is workable or not, in our opinion it will be done for one purpose only namely, to kill competition. No matter what has been said and what has been done, from now on we believe the people's rights should be given some attention. Wants "Simple" Contract. ' A simple contract and franchise is all that is needed, just so -it protects the city and the contractors. But when you undertake to add to this a profit sharing scheme, assignment clauses, unfair control of bond issue and an unfair inventory of ,the company's property, and other unfair clauses, such as were in the last proposition, you are adding a direct and indirect tax upon the people First, by compelling the company to bid higher for the hydrants than it should Second, by compelling the company to bid higher for the domestic and commercial consumption than is necessary. If you will think over the matter carefully you will, no doubt, see that to encumber the proposal for bids with unnecessary writings and demands will have a tendency to increase prices. The stronger you prepare the paper against a company the more you will be asked to pay. Therefore such demands by you are adding a direct and indirect tax upon the people of Richmond. The only way to avoid it is to prepare your proposals for bids without adding any unnecessary demands upon the bidding companies. Under the circumstances we do not believe we are out of order when we ask you to hurry the new writings and re-advertise for bids whether we secure the new contract and franchise or not. Whenever the fire department is called out think of that twenty inch water main laid twenty eight years ago, which does not exceed one-half capacity needed at this time.

Lung Affection Yielded To This Remedy Anyone Interested in the" treatment of Consumption should get one of the booklets telling of recoveries by the use of Eckman's Alterative. Coughs, Stubborn Colds and Pneumonia may be the beginning of more serious troubles Eckman's Alterative is the effective remedy. Read Mr, Kanaly's statement: Saratoga, N. Y. "Gentlemen: For five or six years I was troubled with cough and expectoration. I also had a hih fever. My case was declared Consumption by

my physician. I was given Cod Liver Oil, Creosote and other medicines, all without benefit. "At Christmas time, 1906, I was not expected to live. Calling Dr. R. H. McCarthy, he advised the use of Eckman's Alterative, which I took with excellent results, and was entirely cured. I have gained in weight. I go out in all weathers and have had no cough or cold whatever. I give these facts to encourage others to use Eckman's Alterative." (Sworn Affidavit) JAS. W. KANALY Ecknan's Alterative is effective in Bronchitis, Asthma, Hay Fever; Throat and Lung Troubles and in upbuilding the system. Does not contain poisons, opiates or habit-forming drugs. For sale by leading druggists. Ask for booklet telling of recoveries, and write to Eckman Laboratory, Philadelphia, Pa., for additional evidence. (Advertisement) ANOTHER CHICAGO CULT WAS RAIDED (National News Association) CHICAGO, Nov. 12. Sixteen persons, whites, negroes and Indians, were taken from the Institute of Psychology and Mental Training operated by Dr. L. W. Delawrence, and lodged in police station cells today at the request of a woman. The woman, Mrs. Augusta Murle, came from Brooklyn, N. Y., to learn "Absolute life" under Delawrence s teaching. She ran breathlessly into a police station last night and demanded the doctor's arrest. She said she had been in the house for several days, subjected to indignities and abused. She was ques tioned and shortly afterwards two patrol wagons were sent to the cult house, which is located in the midst of the millionaires' residence section of Michigan avenue. Mrs. Murle refused to tell any one but the police of the things that occurred. She said, however, that negroes formed the "Order of the Black Rose" and that they were a special guard for Dr. Delawrence. Initiation into the order, she said, consisted of being weighed in the "scale room" while the doctor looked on and the "black rose" members guarded the door.

A. will be held during the week of December 25, and according to the officials in charge, many new stunts will be prepared. The circus last year was the most successful ever held by the local association and the one this year promises to surpass it. It will be held in the gymnasium as in former years. Talent from many of the local young men now attending college will be in Richmond at that time and will take part in the entertainment. The Y. M. C. A. minstrel show that was so successful last year, will be repeated some time next January. It was planned to have the show before the holidays if possible, but this date was changed because of the recent Elks Minstrel and the proposed circus. The Delphian, Black Hawk and Iroquois Bible classes will meet at the Y. M. C. A. tonight Following a supper in the dining room, the Bible work will be taken up. The report of Boys Secretary Pettijohn filed with the state committee, October 31, showed increase In the Bible study work this year over the preceding year. Three hundred and thirty-one boys were enrolled' and the total attendance for the whole year was 5.24S. The indications for the coming year are that a new record will be established.

BALKANCONTROVERSY Powers in Diplomatic Struggle Over Division of Conquered Territory. (National News Association) PARIS, Nov. 12. Beneath the ap parent calm negotiations of the Eu ropean chancellories over the recast , of the map of southeastern Europe, I one of the greatest diplomatic strug gles of modern times is being waged. So great is the tension beneath the surface that the slightest false step may plunge Europe into war. The quarrel over the division of the ' spoils of the Balkan war extends into ; the six great capitals of Europe. Great : Britain is now ready for any eventual-; ity, having mobilized her entire fleet, while Austria has taken the lead so ; far, no indication of an active aggres- j &ive policy as regards the Balkans the international affairs of that empire are such that she may be prevented from any warlike demonstration. Premier Pointaire of France is said to be at work upon a program govern ing the distribution of territory taken ! from Turkey by the allies. To Reduce Ports. This new program is said to reduce the number of Servian ports on the Adriatic from three to one. It is not believed, however, that Servia will ever consent to this. Reports from the Balkan capitals that Bulgaria and Greece may quarrel over possession of Salonika was the word to the outside world that a rupture may occur in the Balkan league. . The occupation of Constantinople by the allies continue to share with the territorial program an extreme gravity. Although Russia is reported to have given assurances to Bulgaria that she would not object to the Bulgars entering the Turkish capital telegrams from London, Berlin and Vienna showed that the governments at the capitals were strongly opposed to the investment of Constantinople in view of the weakness of the Turkish government. Francis Joseph of Austria Hungary is at present in Buda Pesth feeling out Hungarian sentiment. The feeling here is that England's sudden and bold move in moblizing her fleet has called a temporary halt to any aggressive move which Austria might have been planning.

A SMACKING AFFAIR Husking Bee Replete with Many Ears of Red Corn. w (Palladium Special) ABINGTON, Ind., Nov. 12. A husking bee held in Abington township a few nights ago, resulted in an over-supply of kisses. In fact, the affair turned out to be a real old fashioned osculatory contest that was the decided hit of the evening. One of the boys Mho attended the function was responsible for the added pleasure which the social stunt afforded. Before the guests arrived this young man hid about forty ears of red corn under the big pile that had been

gatnerea tor tne occasion. Kisses were few and far between at the beginning of the husking bee, but as the evening rolled on highly prized kisses became numerous. Red ears of corn, entitling the finder to kiss some member of the opposite sex, made their appearance in rapid succession. Some of the girls were kissed as many as ten times, and it is estimated that not a girl in the gathering escaped the pleasure of being kissed once or twice. The husking bee was pronounced a smacking success. COURT NEWS A circuit court jury is hearing the case cf the Waverly company of Indianapolis versus Albert W. Reed, complaint on account, demand $125.

THE JAY MEMORIAL MAY H0USE OFFICES Friends Hope that Executive Committee Will Decide to Use Structure.

Efforts to secure contributions for the Allen Jay memorial are In abeyance until the executive committee appointed by the Five Year meeting of Friends at Indianapolis last month, decides whether it will use the building for the headquarters of the various church departments. More than $12,000 in subscrintions were secured by ! he building fund committee and the i advisory boardprior to the meeting of the Five Year meeting. vShould the executive committee of the Friends' church decide not to use the building for its headquarters, the building fund committee will complete its solicitations for the construction of an edifice that will be used as a meeting house by the West Richmond and Earl- ; nam coU congregatIoil of Friends ' ;t h-ihJ A L IUC V VVU11UU V. P UVVIMV fc to place its headquarters in the building, the structure will be constructed with this end in view. It is hoped here that the central offices of the Friends church, ordered to be established in Richmond, will be placed in the memorial building. It is said that this will concentrate the headquarters in one building which will be near Earlham college. No action has been taken to bring the offices of the boards here, neither is it known by Friends of Richmond how soon the location of the new publishing house will be decided. Indianapolis is one of the cities that is offering inducements to the church to bring the publishing house to that city.
