CALL HAGERSTOWN "SHADE TREE CITY1 Town's Industries Considered Above Average Teetor Company Big Factor. (Palladium Special) HAGERSTOWN, Ind., Sept 27. With the Teetor Motor and Light In- ! epectlon Car company as its biggest ' industry, and surrounded by some of the best farming land In the county, Hagerstown is one of the most prosperous towns of its size in the state. The population is about 1200. The town never has enjoyed a big boom, but its growth at all times aa been Bteady. "The City of Shade Trees," as it is called, has several miles of cement sidewlaks and oiled streets. Seeing opportunities for improving the town being neglected, because the business men were not organized, a hundred of them met with representatives of the Richmond Commercial Club, and organized a commercial body. The Club went to work at once and has secured a number of improvements in gas pressure and light service. William Stahr was chosen president cf the body. Among the industries of the city are an oil pumping station, saw mill, builders supply plant, grist mill, and a coal yard. Plan Big Addition. The Teetor Motor company is planning to erect a three-story 60 by 140 shop to add to the two already in operation. The other shops are each three stories In heights and are 40 by 75 feet, and 40 by 100 feet. The company was one of the first to place block motorB on the market, which they supplied to the American Motar Company. This year the 120 men are working in the shops, manufacturing six cylinder motorB. Many flattering offers have been made to induce the company to move, but the officers have refused them believing they would have a hard time finding a better location. Where Motors Are Sent. Motors are being furnished for a number of car manufacturers among which are The Pilot and Westcott com-
Extensive Program of Commercial Club
The object of the Commercial Club is to advance and promote the best interest for all the people of the city of Richmond. The Commercial club proposes to make it the most efficient civic and industrial business organization working in the interest of the city of Richmond. It will attempt to do things for the city which will be of benefit to all who reside or do business here. It seeks and expects the co-operation of every Individual, firm and corporation in the city profiting by the city's growth and
development. In its attempt to do things for the city, nothing which will affect the city or citizens of Richmond (outside of partisan politics and religious creeds) will be too large or too small for the Commercial Club to undertake. Activities of Club. The activities of the club have been divided into the following subjects: finance, insurance, public improvements, new industries, press and printing, manufacturers, steam railroads, membership public health, electric roads, education, public service corporations, houses, homes, legislation and taxation, arrangements and speakers. Industries. It is the aim and special attention of the club to foster and encourage and develop the industries already established here and it will systematically and continually endeavor to bring other worthy industries to the city. There are many advantages which Richmond has over other cities for the location of manufactories in the way of raw material and rail transportations. Industries can be induced to locate here by the co-operation of the citizens through the Commercial Club which will encourage and endeavor to secure a continued, permanent and ex
tensive agricultural development In this county and throughout Indiana by co-operation with national, state and private movements to further the agricultural extension work. It will co-operate with the city, county and state officials to obtain and to maintain good roads leading to the city of Richmond, thereby increasing land values and making conditions in the surrounding rural districts more pleasant and comfortable. It will also strongly favor and will encourage live stock, staple and truck farming in all of its branches with
general horticulture and floriculture. Trade and Commerce. i The trade of the merchants of this city can be greatly increased and improved through co-operative efforts. The Commercial club proposes to foster and encourage by legitimate efforts to continue and extend the businesses of merchants and manufacturers. It will co-operate with the merchants and manufacturers in all movements undertaken by them to bring buyers to this city and to introduce and to carry out successful methods employed in other cities. It will endeavor to have wholesale and jobbing lines not represented located in Richmond and make this city a greater distributing center. It will vigorously endeavor to have Richmond people buy at home and thus aid the merchants in their endeavor to do a much larger business and to carry larger and better stocks. It will promote the exhibition of goods made in this city. Home products should be better known to Richmond people, the club members believe, and to those who live near as well as the strangers who visit here. Traffic and Transportation. Realizing that the railroads are a potent agency in the development of Richmond the club desires to see that
they are given a square deal and will expect the people to receive similar
treatment. Publicity. The club proposed to give wide and favorable publicity for Richmond as a city in which to live, to do business and to visit It will endeavor to see that the outside world has a full appreciation of the great possibilities of Richmond and will attempt to arouse a universal spirit of civic loyalty. It will secure conventions wherever practicable and see that visitors are provided ' with suitable accommodations and entertained while here, for a favorable Impression upon strangers in the city is an asset of untold value, officers of the club declare. It Is something tfcey do not forget when they leave.

panies, Staver Carriage company, of Chicago, Ormleader company of Cincinnati, makers of the Winton Six, and the McFarlan Motor company The town was platted in 1830 by Jonas Harris, Jacob Ulrich and was incorporated a few months later. It is located between Nettle Creek and
West River. In 1846 it was one of the largest shipping points in this part of the state, being at the head of the old Whitewater Canal. The town has three churches and a school in which all subjects are taught from the primary department through high school.
PARIS, Sept. 27. A band of ten burglars, all under twenty-five years of age and including three women, were arrested in Paris the other day. It has been proved that they are responsible for fifteen of the extraordinary series of burglaries recently committed in Paris and the neighborhood. The police of the Belleville district had noticed that certain occupants of a hotel at 54 Rue des Vouronnes were dressed with a certain elegance during the day, but when night came they
changed their patent leather shoes for rubber shoes and appeared in caps and mufflers. A search was made at the hotel while the suspects were out and a complete burglary outfit, several revolvers and articles of jewelry believed to have been stolen were found. The detectives, who learned that the band was returning to Paris by train from different points, waited for them at the stations, and arrested them. In the lining of their clothes were found plans of several projected burglaries.
DUCHESSE SAYS VOTE RAISES MORAL LEVEL Paris Chamber Will Report Favoring Universal Suffrage. PARIS, Sept. 27. When the Chamber resumes, M. Ferdinand Buisson will submit a report in the name of the Commission on Universal Suffrage favorable to women having the vote. The Paris Municipal Council has also voted in favor of votes for women. To ascertain whether women would be disposed to use the vote if it were given to them, a Paris daily recently organized a sort of symposium on the subject and invited opinipns from prominent women. . The Duchesse d'Uzes considers that votes for women is a matter of simple equity, and argues that in those countries where the vote has been accorded them Vie moral level has risen. Mile. Helene Miropolsky, who is a practising lawyer, declares that in criminal jurisprudence it is a flagrant injustice that women should not be included on juries; and Baroness Fauqueux asserts that the law does not protect the woman who works nor the
woman who possesses a fortune. Maternal authority is insufficiently established, and she thinks the time has come for legislators to make a modern coda. The feminine vote, which would modify the spirit of the code, would have the support of the people and the approval of the directing classes. In the opinion of Mile. Helene Dutrleu. the Intrepid aviator, woman suffrage, though it might be acceptable
in Paris, would be disastrous in the great industrial. centers. "We would have a revolution fomented by a band of petroleuses " she says. "Have you observed the attitude of women during strikes?" she asks. "Their violence knows no limit. These women would constitute the majority of our sex. As for the other, believe me. their place is with their children, and your reforms would have no usefulness for them. You will never prevent an unhappy wife from being beaten." she says, "and if it pleases her husband to Uke her wages, she will not be in a position to stop him." Mile. Gladys Maxhance. of the Odeon Theater, says tfrat women have distinct qualities which, united, can give excellent results. She suggests that women should simply offer to collaborate with men in a word make feminlnlsm amiable and smiling. A cook writes that she has never thought of the vote, and that as she would not be richer or poorer if she had it she would not use it.
