TODD TO COME HERE TO LOOK

GROUND

President of T. H., I. & E. Company Gives Local Men Encouragement in Regard to Proposed Line. MUST BE PROMISED SUFFICIENT RETURN Plan, Suggested By Richmond Representative, to Use Tracks Now in Park, May Be Taken Up. In an Interview yesterday with officials of the T. H., I. & E. traction company at Indianapolis, yesterday. Will A. Bond, city attorney B. A. Kenaepohl, president of the board, of public" works, and William Bockhoff, president and general manager of the National Automatic Tool works, succeeded'in obtaining a promise from President Todd that he would be in this 'city, soon to look over the ground in regard to extending the South Eighth treet car line to N street and possihly east from Eighth street either on E street or N street. i The local men talked with Robert Todd, 3, K. Jeffries and Mr. Warner. All of the men seemed favorably inclined to the proposition submitted, but stated that unless sufficient returns were seen, nothing could be done. President Todd stated that the tar system in this city was bringing In very small returns on account of the heavy expenses which the company has had here lately. The company has also lost money by placing the tracks in Glen Miller park, they declared. Mr. Kennepohl stated that the South Side Improvement Association and the factories -in South Richmond desire a line running to South N street and ' east to Fourteenth street, thence north on Fourteenth street to Main, forming a belt line. The men refused to consider the belt line, claiming that these 'lines were merely for accommodation, and that there is a loss from almost every one -in operation on the many Systems, of the company. Mr. Todd stated that he would be here in 'person and that he would see that the tracks are removed from the park when he is here. He will be taken through South Richmond and given an idea of the number of persons who are either working there or live In that part of the city. TodVl agreed that it would be a very food plan t use the tracks from Glen Miller for the extension on South Eighth street. He stated that the company has lost money by placing the tracks In the park, but that the tracks could be used on South Eighth street, thus saving any expense for that extension except for labor. The attention of the officials was called to the situation in Fairview more than twelve years ago. At that time there were many petitions for the car line. It was not obtained, however, until $900 worth of street car tickets had been sold. The officials stated that the line was now one of the best paying routes on the local system. It caused a boom in that part of the city and paid for itself in a few years. Mr. Kennepohl stated that a similar proposition would be readily agreed to by the residents of that section of the city who would be affected by the proposed extension and the South Side Improvement association. Todd, however, did not seem to favor the sale of tickets and asked no other inducement except that the men show him that the line would be of advantage to the company and would accommodate enough persons. A line to the Hawkins lake was discussed but the officials did not favor taking this matter up at this time. They stated that when the project will 6how the company that it will really he a permanant organization and would be" a paying proposition to the traction company, there would be ample time to consider it then. Local persons are very much enoar a god with the interview and although no promises of an extension were made, it is believed that the officials are ;n favor of it and will readily agree to build it when they come here to make an examination of the situation. There are four factories vhlch would be accommodated and the territory near Beallview park is becoming thickly populated. It is expected by the men that the tracks swill be removed from the Glen within a month. TRY TO FORCE TAX MONEY ON THE CITY (National News Association) HAMMOND, Ind., May 10. The first case on record where taxpayers in Indiana attempt to force a municipality to accept thousands of dollars was brought today in the Hammond superior court where eighty Gary saloon men asked Judge Becker to mandate the city to Gary to accept $200 apteea from them. The Gary authorities hold saloon license fees to be $500 and refuse $200 as provided by the city counoil in an ordinance.

May Have to Spend Life at Sea

NEW YORK. May 10. Before starting for Canada, enroute to England, Miss Elsie McKenzie, the pretty militant suffragette, who was the first one to inaugurate hunger striking at the famous Holloway Jail in London, declared that in embarking on the trip she was running the risk of being compelled to spend the rest of her days on the high seas. "On account of my prison record in England," said Miss McKenzie, "the British authorities may not allow me to enter England, in which case the present laws would compel the United States to refuse to allow me to return here. But I am a good sailor and would not mind living indefinitely on an ocean liner." . MISS ELSIE WATER WORKS SUES FOR RIGHT-OF-WAY Alfred Underhill Is Made De- . fendant in Complaint r - Filed Today. The Richmond1 City Water "Works company today filed suit against 'Alfred Underhill and Ruth B. Underhill, husband and wife, in the attempt to appropriate a right-of-way through the property of the defendants. The plaintiff alleges that an attempt was made on the part of the officials of the company to purchase the land belonging to the Underbills though the terms could not be settled satisfactorily to both parties. The officials of the company have resolved upon the necessity of acquiring the land as a result of Underbill's attitude toward the company. Last month the big main of the company which runs through Underbill's land was blown up. The city of Richmond was without water for many hours and various factories suffered losses because it was necessary to temporarily close the plants. The land through which the water mains of the company are laid is located east of the Hawkins swimming pool near Glen Miller park. Though an attempt was made to prosecute Underhill it was unsuccessful because of lack of incriminating evidence. The water works company proposes to continue to use the land for the purpose of laying water mains and pipes hot more than 18 inches imder the surface which will connect the mains of the company with the reservoirs. VENUED TO HENRY COUNTY. Case of Hamilton Versus Underhill to Be Heard at Newcastle.The case of George Hamilton against Alfred C. Underhill was venued to Henry county and will be tried in Newcastle before Judge Ed Jackson. Underbill's attorney alleges that he could not get justice in Wayne county because of the prejudiced attitude of the people. Hamilton was picking up chips of wood on the property of the P., C, C. & St. L. railroad company, when Underhill is alleged to have assaulted the plaintiff. Hamilton is a cripple. He is unable to move his arms. The left arm was tied by a scarf to Hamilton's neck by Underhill, it is said. "A demand of $1,500 damages is made.

MISSION

CONVENTION

IMy las Voice "Ca

When the "divine Sarah said, "I am immortal- after being "shot by a "movie" she expressed the feelings of President Kelly of Earlham college to a dot. Although the president of E&rlham has not posed for a picture man, he has had hia voice "canned" by one of the local phonograph men. The occasion of the "canning" process was an invitation to address a meeting of the Associated Alumni of the Friends Colleges of America, at Whittier, California. As the distance to the Sunset state is a bit too far for, him to travel at this time, President Kelly wended his way to the local Edison store and with appropriate, but unnecessary gestures, canned his address to the meeting. Those few who have during the course of human events been "canned from the Quaker College will be surprised to learn that the president also has been "canned.
