EXTENSION SOUTH END (Traction Officials Here To- ' day Made Inspection With Members of the Board of k .Works. PROSPECT FOR LINE IS NOW EXCELLENT D. K. Jefferies, Superintendent of T. H., I. & E. Company Will Make Report to President Todd. Officials of the T. H., I. and E Tracftlon company were In the city today, land, according to members of the poard of works who took the officials pn an inspection tour of South Richmond, ' prospects for extension of the feouth Eighth street line to Beallview June excellent. No reports or promises yere made by the officials except that ' the matter will be carefully consld- . jred. The consulting engineer of the t-oad, C. A. Harron, was in the party. ,The others were: O. K. Jefferies, general superintendent of all lines, and F. H. Warner, superintendent of the eastern division. , Robert I. Todd, president of the sysem, was unable to be in the city tolay but may look over the ground later. i7 When asked for a report of the inspection, which was. made this mornEng by the traction officials and the nembers of the .board of works, in automobiles furnished by members of the South- Side Improvement association, Mr. Jefferies stated that the first reports are always sent to the president, Mr. Todd of Indianapolis. - He atated that no report, could be given but until this was done. . -. , "We have looked over the ground fend have made a careful survey of the population which would be reached by the proposed extension. I can not state now whether the territory has been .built up enough for a car line. Among 5 the things which we take into consideration in making extensions is the ; prospective growth of the community. Since I was here four years ago Beallview has grown wonderfully. We also take into consideration" the expense oi building such a line, and to ehow that we are really taking under consideration the extension we have brought with us our angineer who will make a report to the president as to the probable cost of (he line. "We will start to remove the tracks from Glen Miller pary at any time, and we would have done so sooner had , the switch been placed at Twentieth and Main streets at the time we expected. "I believe that the length of the extension asked for in Beallview, is about the same as the length of the tracks through the park. If we build the extension we shall probably use those tracks. Made Careful Survey. "I have noticed that the extension would strike into a part of the town which is becoming a small factory district This is very favorable and counts largely in favor of the line. He Likes Richmond. "I like Richmond and I am always treated splendidly when I come here. I would like to accommodate the citlfens if possible, but I cannot say more as to the report. The traction men were taken to Beallview park from these going to the various factories in that section of the city. An estimate of the population which would be. reached by the line was made. The men were also taken up and, down Eighth street along the proposed line in . order that Engineer Harron could make an examination of the territory. " Mr." Jefferies stated that they had no orders to inspect any other line extension except that from South H street to South N street on Eighth street. Local men who were in Indianapolis recently to consult with traction officials stated on 'their return that they believed it impossible to secure any more .than one extension at this time. A second trip of inspection was made this afternoon. The traction men will be shown through some of the fac tories of the South Richmond. They will return to Indianapolis tonight. It is not known how soon . President .Todd's decision wiU be made public. SAYS JAIL BENCH IS HIS PROPERTY F. C.

DRAINAGE MATTER COHFBOHTS COOHTY Commissioners ; 'tor Discuss Proposed System for Spring Grove. $3,000 COST OF SEWER

Surveyor Peacock Says Tem porary Ditch Would Cost About $300. ' The matter of drainage at Spring Grove is one of the most serious which confronts the county commissioners at this time and it is expected that some action will be taken soon by the officials to remedy conditions there to the satisfaction of the property holders. County officials believe the property owners snouia nave a sewer syBtem installed which would drain the water from that section. The water is all surface water and many of the yards are small ponds during heavy rainstorms. Most of the water runs into Spring Grove from the north.' The contention is being brought up at this time because of the construe tion of the North Tenth street improvement which is being done under the three-mile road law. The residents want the officials to make an appropriation for some system which will remedy the present conditions. It is! contended that this cannot be done according to law. A temporary ditch would cost about $300 while a sewer would cost $3,000, according to the estimates of County Surveyor Peacock. The matter will be taken up again by the commissioners at their next regular session. Though conditions are no worse than they have been for the last thirty years the residents believe some action should be taken at this time because of the new improvement to the road.

G. Robinson of St. Louis, editor of the National Issue, a prohibition , publication.

It is alleged that Robinson circulated copies of the National Issue containing the alleged libelous articles at the Prohibition conference which was held in Indianapolis in January. For this reason the suit was brought in Marion county although both parties to the suit have no legal residence here. Interesting disclosures are promised involving the alleged freezing out of Johnson by the Taft administration for the part he took in suppressing illegal liquor traffic. EDITOR SLAYS DOCTOR. SPRINGFIELD, 111., May 16. Dr. D. E. Windsor, president of the board of trustees of the village of Mt. Auburn, 111., was shot and fatally wounded this morning at Mt. Auburn by Editor S. D.

CAN SHIP LIQUOR TO DRHOUNTIES If Money Accompanies Order Is the Ruling of Indiana Supreme Court. (National News Association) INDIANAPOLIS, May 16.-A brewery may ship liquor, into dry territory for the personal use of the purchaser If the money for the sale accompanies the order, and if the liquor Is delivered to a common carrier in' wet territory for delivery to the buyer in dry territory, is the substance of a decision handed down by the supreme court of Indiana today in a case brought here on appeal from a decision of the Starke county circuit court. This case is one of extreme importance to the liquor interests and the temperance I people inasmuch as it practically determines whether a brewing company can legally ship liquor into dry territory in this state. The facts in the case which both sides agreed to was that a case of beer was ordered through an agent of a Ft. Wayne brewery in Winamac by a man who paid the money for the beer with his order and directed that the beer be shipped by rail road freight. The question in the case was whether the sale of the beer actually took place in the county where it was ordered, which was dry territory, or whether it took place in Allen county, where it was delivered to the railroad for delivery to the purchaser. ROBERTS BUILDING MAY CHANGE HANDS Negotiations Being Made Between McLeland and Goldfinger. Negotiations are being made by H. V.

PURSE IS REQUEST A PRIEST Money Being Raised As Gift to Rev. Frank Roell Will Be Used in Alterations of Parish House. ELABORATE PLANS FOR THE JUBILEE Big Event June First to Cele brate Popular Priest's Or dination Some Prominent Churchmen to Come. By special request of the Rev. Frank Roell, rector of St. Andrew's Catholic church, the purse being raised as a gift to him will be used for making alterations in the parish house. Parishioners had previously intended to present the popular priest $1,500 on the occasion of the celebration of his twenty-fifth anniversary of ordination into the priesthood, which will be held June 1. By special request of the Rev. Frank Roell of the St. Andrew's Catholic church, the purse of $1,500 which was being solicited tot present to him on the silver jubilee to be held June 1 at the St. Andrew's church in honor of Father Roell's twenty-fifth anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood, will be used for the entire rennovation of the parsonage. Elaborate, preparations for the Jubi lee are being made under the direction of Prof. J. M. Richter, principal of the St. Andrew's school recently erected north of the church. Mr. Richter has issued invitations to several bishops of the Indianapolis diocese to be present at the jubilee' and speak. Judge Henry C. Fox and Mayor Zimmerman will al so deliver addresses at the celebra tion. High mass will be held at 10 o'clock Lafter which the. jpxoram,. for the day win oe raKen up. xr is expeciea mai Right Reverend Francis - S. Chatard and Right Reverend -Joseph-Chartrand of Indianapolis, will be here for the holy mass. Reverend .GaviBk, a close friend of Father Roell's is also expect ed here for the day. Rev. Herman Gad lage of New Albany, formerly, of the local church will preside at the even ing's reception. , A banquet to the visiting clergy will be given before the evening reception. This will be served in the ' church banquet rooms. Beautiful souvenirs will be presented to those attending the celebration. Mr. Richter is preparing a biography of Father Roell for the handsome book which will be presented to each of those present at the celebration. In the book a history of the church, its growth and its present standing will be given. Prominent members of the church will be mentioned, and views of St. Andrew's properties will be shown. The volume will contain all imformation regarding the church that can be secured. The biograph of Rev. Father Roell will include the history of the priest and his rise since he received the holy orders at Meinards, Spencer county. May 26, 1888. Father Roell has been the head of the local church for fourteen years, having come here in 1899 from New Albany, where he served eleven years as assistant priest. It has been since the arrival of Father Roell that the present church and school buildings have been erected. The school building was completed last fall, and it is one of the best equipped in the state. Modern architectural features have made it one of the best structures in the city. The history of the organization of St. Andrew's church since 1835, when the first priest came here, is related. At that time there were fifteen Catholics in the city, and these few were struggling to observe their religion when John Henry Moormann, a pioneer Catholic came to the city. The first Catholic to settle in Richmond is believed to have been Charles Buschi, who lived at the property now known as 29 South Fifth street. At Mr. BuscWs home on Fifth street, then known as Pearl street, the first holy sacrifice of the mass was offered in the late fall of 1835, by the Rev. Father Ferneding. who was sta tioned along the Whitewater canal, at that time in the course of construction. Shortly after this, a young attorney presented the members of the congregation with a lot on South Sixth and C streets. As there was a swamp at that place, the lot was traded for the present site of St. Andrew's church. It was not until 1844 that sufficient funds could be secured to build the first Catholic church in the city. The Rev. Father Ryan, the first resident priest of the parish, came to Richmond in 1846. The first parish school was opened in- 1851 hv Gerhard Rndri on Hiph j nad twelve papil8 fir8t Jeu j : 1 ronl11r i .mon .ll hnlM. ing was erected in 1S52. After the construction of railroads from Dayton and Ha rail ton In 1859, both the school and the church expanded, and it was decided that larger buildings were necessary. At that time it was planned that a tall spire

JAP PROBLEM I United States Government's Reply to the Japanese Pro-I test May Be Delayed Until! Next .Week. WAR NOT PROBABLE BUT IS POSSIBLE U. S. Support of California Action May Mean Withdrawal From. Fair and U. S. Goods Boycott. ' (National News Association) "WASHINGTON. May. 16. Bearing, the completed draft of the reply of the United States to the. Japanese protest against the enforcement of the Callfor nla anti-alien land law. Secretary ot State Bryan conferred with President, Wilson at thewhlte house today, prior ( to the opening of the cabinet session. Owing to a number of differences of opinion about the tenor, of the reply it was thought probable that the message will not be cabled to Toklo as soon as Mr. Bryan had planned and it may be delayed until after the cabinet session next Tuesday. Interest In the reply this govern ment will make to the Japanese protest has been swallowed up for the mo-j ment by military measures taken oy) -order of President Wilson in the way of precaution. Two companies of coast artillery were ordered to proceed to Honolulu.Steps have been taken to increase th defensiveness of Manila. The battleship fleet, which unfortunately la fa the north Atlantic ocean, is being put in readiness for the long cruiss to tht Pacific in case of necessity. Hope Move Will Bs Unnecessary. It is the sincere hope and expecta-' tion of the administration that these precautionary measures will provs un necessary. Japan may not formally object to ths movement of two batteries of artilleryJ But it will be remembered that one of the causes which precipitated the war. between that country and Russia wss the action of the latter in sending war ships to Port Arthur. The military preparations were th. result of an "accidental' conference at the White House yesterday afternoon between John Bassett Moore, the act ing secretary of state; Lindsey M. Oar -rison, secretary of war; and Josephus Daniels, secretary of the navy. I Meeting Follows Chinda's Visit, This conference occurred between calls at the state department made by Viscount Chinda, the Japanese ambassador. , Viscount Chinda was furnished a copy of Gov. Johnson's telegram to Secretary Bryan announcing an intention to approve the bill passed by ths legislature of the state. The ambassador's call was for the purpose of ascertaining two facts which apparently, the Toklo government regards as important. ' 1. When the reply of this government will be made to the Japanese protest. 2. When Governor Johnson may be ' expected to sign the bill. ; Evidently Japan proposes to act fur-, ther as soon as it is informed offit cially that President Wilson Intends to support California and the date the law it considered objectionable Is put! into effect. The president was unable to Inform the Japanese ambassador when Gov-; ernor Johnson would sign the bllLl This is a matter In the governor's' hands and he has set no date for final! action. 1 The occurrences Thursday show the( president Is more concerned about the! Japanese situation than be has been! willing to admit. i Few here go so far as to say there is any danger of war. The most that! is expected is that Japan will retaliate by withdrawing from the San Fran-i cisco exposition and inaugurating a boycott upon American goods. Possibilities are Dangerous. But the friction such a policy would produce can have possibilities of a most dangerous character. It is this prospect that has moved the administration to take precautionary military steps. If the batUeship fleet were in the Pacific ocean, it is not believed there would be any trouble with Japan over the California legislation. But with the fleet scattered about the ports of the Atlantic coast and such a long distance from the scene of possible strife, it Is apparent that Japan has a great Initial advantage which it would be difficult to overcome, especially as in case of trouble it would seise Hawaii and thus deprive this country ot an important base in the mid-Pacific CONFINED AT JAIL Washington Havens. 59, was takes In custody by Sheriff Bayer last evening and is confined at the county Jail pending his admittance to the Eastern " Indiana Hospital for Insane. He was adjudged insane several months ago though at that time it was impossible for him to be accepted at the Institution because of the congested conditions. " " ' " l
