GOOD CURRENCY BILL

Explains How Measure Will Help Conditions in Richmond.

BY STAFF CORRESPONDENT. CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind., July 10 "Scouting the possibility of a war with Japan, endorsing the passage of the currency bill, and advocating the issues involved In the tariff under consideration by congress, ex-Governor Joseph W. Folk, of Missouri, spoke bere today. He logically reasoned in the irst instance that since the Webb alien law conflicts with no treaty be

tween Japan and United States, the former country could not insist upon the privilege of ownership of lands In California for its citizens, because Japan has a law similar in" respects, prohibiting foreigners from owning land In that country. Governor Folk predicted prosperity for the masses as a result of the passage of the currency bill, and declared ft a most important subject before the people. When it becomes a law, he said, it will free the people from the financial domination of Wall street. On Chautauqua Circuit. Governor Folk is lecturing on the Chautauqua circuit, and spoke at Eaton, Ohio, Wednesday. He passed through Richmond about 7:30 o'clock this morning on his way to this place, Ifthere he spoke this afternoon. "I do not think there is any possibility of war with Japan over the California question," he said. "No nation n recorded history has ever demandEd the expiration of its own citizens. That would be the situation Should Japan insist upon the privilege tt American citizenship. State Has the Right. "A state has a perfect right to forbid alien ownership of land so far as It does not conflict with a treaty with a foreign nation. The California law Is substantially the same as laws of Missouri, Kansas and other states. President Wilson and Secretary Bryan have handled this delicate question In the best way possible and in such a manner as to cause no breaks in the friendly relations between Japan and this nation. "Japan has a law prohibiting or eliminating foreign ownership of land by one without becoming a citizen of that country. We, would hardly go to war to compel Japan to allow Americans to become subjects of the "mikado. Graft Out of Tariff. "The indications are that the tariff bill will be passed substantially as it came before the house. This measure (s a sincere effort to take graft out pf the tariff, and its passage should Result in benefit to the masses of the peopje, bringing about prosperity for all in the place of great riches for theewjt "he most important subject for the peopleTls the currency measure. The administration bill differs from the Aldrich plan, namely, in giving control of the central organization to the government instead of having it Under the domination of banks, as was the plan of the Aldrich scheme. Divided Into Districts. "The country is to be divided into districts with the local association in each district, the central association being in Washington. Any bank desiring money can procure it from the local association by depositing acceptable assets. "This measure, when it becomes a law, will free the country from the financial domination of Wall street. Richmond, for instance, will not have to look to New York or Cincinnati for its money, but Richmond bankers can, through the medium of the local association, convert their assets into the currency required for the necessity of Richmond enterprises. It is pasy to see how this will bring about a revival in industrial activity and b prosperity which has never been experienced before. Gives Supply Elasticity. "The bill proposed by President Wilson makes the central association an enlarged treasury department, whereby government control is secured and at the same time the machinery of administration is blended to the requirements of trade, giving elasticity to the currency supply. While there is considerable opposition to the bill, prospects are bright for its passage."

SOPPLY OF GAS AT

BOCYRUSJS GOOD (Continued from Page 1.) pany here has been excellent and we have never experienced any trouble of any kind outside of one or two breaks in the main line which were repaired without much delay." "We have always had plenty of gas to supply all of the city even in the coldest weather. The people here use the gas for beating, lighting and cookJng and find it to be very economical. When asked about the average bill for domestic consumers Mr. Hopley said I cannot say what is the actual average bill but I can tell you what tny bill runs and as I have a 6 room feouaa ajid, three stoves I would bo 'cpor

sidered an average consumer. My bill for the winter months for heating, lighting and cooking will average about $6.50 a month and for the summer months for cooking and lighting about $1.40 a month. "The population of Bucyrus is about 8,200 and there are 2000 homes now being supplied with natural gas. Before the natural gas was piped into our city we had an artificial gas plant which was supplying the city with artificial gas. This plant was abandoned aa soon as the natural gas was supplied as it could not compete with the price of natural gas." Had No Disputes, Mr. Hopley could not give the size of the main line into the city but he said "The city has never had any dispute with the company regarding the service rendered. There is no clause in the contract which would require a certain amount of heat units pressure or quality, but we. have found that the company gives us the service without any trouble." "During the summer months several of our factories are supplied with gas. In winter, however, they are shut off and the entire supply held for the domestic consumers. "So far as I know 30 cents is the only rate for factory and domestic con

sumers alike. There is no sliding scale." In Richmond the Logan company through its subsidiary, the Allegheny Gas company, proposes to discriminate against domestic consumers in favor of the large factory users of gas. The rates proposed here are 40, 35 and 30 cents per thousand feet.

point and the freight which is transferred to other points from cars coming into the city must be handled with the same speed as the local out-bound freight. Shippers do not co-operate with the freight men he says. Instead of bringing the freight in as early as possible, he says, there is a rush by every shipping firm in the city to bring the freight to the depot between 3 and 5 o'clock in the afternoon. This causes the men to work very late in the evening and creates some dissatisfaction. A night force is also employed to keep the depot clear of the transfer freight which comes in during the night and early moriyng. Mr. Slifer believes that many of the delays on out-bound freight can be traced to the destination and stated that delays on in-bound freight are sometimes caused by lack of workmen at the sending point. Freight which cannot be shipped on the same train is often delayed for some time in making transfers.

so in the bedroom with his mother. The woman forbade the boy's leaving the house, nor would she permit him to admit his father. The boy was then commissioned by the parent on the outside to try to persuade his mother to open the house, but Mrs. Curtis was not to be moved. Curtis told his wife he had something very important to tell her, but she responded by declaring she had a "legal settlement" to make with him. Went For The Police. Mr. Curtis then tried threatening, saying he would appeal to the police for help. The wife, still unmoved, told him to go ahead, because he nor the officers would gain admissiou. Curtis then went to police headquarters and laid the matter before Sergeant E. S. Fair, saying Mrs. Curtis was probably mentally unbalanced. Sergeant Fair directed Curtis to return to his home, saying an officer would probably be there by the time he arrived. Just as Curtis left police headquarters several

, companies of the fire department whiz- ' zed past, going to the man's own home, j Curtis arrived just as Perry Hey- ' wood and George Altherr, ambulance , men, were lifting into the vehicle the

blackened form of the dead woman. She had been carried from the house by firemen. Mr. Curtis' concern seem

ed to be for his son. whom he b UeTed to be in the bouse. Forces Son To Leave. Following the departure of Curtis from the premises, Mrs. Curtis opened . a window and the shutters to her bedroom and commanded her son to leave. He caught hold of a board extending from his own home to the house of a neighbor, and by means of a trapeze, which he had used as a plaything, the lad gained the ground in safety. He fled from the scene and went direct to the home of a friend. Jack Norria. 16 Abbey avenue, where his sister. Corrine B. Curtis, aged 19. had been staying for several weeks. He was unaware of what had taken place, or the death of his mother, until so Informed by his father, who went in search of him. The boy was considerably excited and also told of escaping by means of a stairway, but a neighborhood youngster saw him climb down the trapeze. As her son left the house Mrs. Curtis remarked: "You will not see me again." and closed the window and shutter, locking both. She then satur-

iated her clothing with the gasoline

and applied the match, dropping over onto a bed and expiring quickly in the grip of the searing flames. Had Pistol and Acid. That she intended there should be no failure to end her life, Mrs. Curtis had in her possession a 25-caliber Colt's automatic revolver, which mas found adjacent to her body on the bed. In addition, a three-ounce bottle of carbolic acid was within easy reach. Despite the handicap placed on the firemen in reaching and extinguishing the blaze, the property loss will. not exceed $50. being confined to the 'bed clothing upon which the woman lay. and some damaged doors, windows and shutters.
