HEADED BY W. LUKER

Alexander Gordon, R i c hmond Superintendent, Accompanied Committee.

Street car employes are well pleased with the reception given thtf committee of William Luker, Jesse Stevens and Ed Detrick by G. K. Jefferies, superintendent of the T. H., I. and E. Traction lines, when the local men called on him at Indianapolis with Superintendent Alexander Gordon of the Richmond car lines, asking for an increase in their wage scale to a minimum of twenty cents an hour from eighteen cents, the present minimum. The committee was headed by William Luker who presented the Richmond case to Jefferies. Jefferies treated the men cordially and although he thought the scale of twenty-two to twenty-seven cents an hour high, he promised to give the matter consideration when the Indianapolis men have been pacified. What They Demand. The demands of the Richmond street car men will increase the wages of the motormen and conductors $2.50 to $3.50 a week, according to the length of service of the employe and the exact number of hours. Men working for the first year, now receiving eighteen cents an hour would receive twenty-two to twenty-seven cents an hour. The members of the committee presented the account of the meeting to the other street car operators in detail. While Jefferies gave them no promises, he said he would do so if he had authority to act alone. Mr. Jefferies did not state when he expected Indianapolis street car controversies to be settled.

Howard Horton of this eity, a civil ; engineer and formerly surveyor of Wayne county, today put in an appli

cation for appointment as county highway superintendent. Mr. Horton is a Republican, but was induced to apply for appointment to the new county office when the Progressive members of the county board of commissioners announced that partisanship would not be considered in selecting a superintendent, the applicants being judged only from the standpoint of their efficiency. There are several other applicants for the position whose candidacies have been previously announced.

Newcastle Mayor Expected to Announce Candidacy Within Few Weeks.

George M. Barnard, mayor of New Castle, is said to be launching a boom for his candidacy for congressman from the Sixth district on the Republican ticket. Barnard's friends suggested his name recently, and when Barnard was questioned regarding his stand he declared he was not a candidate. His associates say, however, he will make a strong fight for the office.

meet with the people's approval. We I are carrying on an investigation of ! government ownership of these fa-1 cilities in European nations. When we!

tninK or takin over for ourselve property valued at from one to three hundred million dollars we see how gigantic the project is, and we must make haste slowly. Everybody's rights must be protected.

UTAH BAD MAN STILL IN MINE

BINGHAM, Utah, Dec. 10. Work was completed today by Deputy Sheriffs who have been bulkheading every exit of the Utah-Apex mine where Ralph Lopez, the eMxiean desperado. Is hiding. The deputies will leave the mine closed for several days in an effort to starve the "bad man." They were convinced that the pumping of poison gases into the underground workings would not kill Lopez, because of the many chambers in which he could avoid the gases.

A complete chapel on wheels with a living and dining room, Is the car "St. Peter," which arrived here from Cincinnati at 2 o'clock this afternoon, in charge of Rev. E. B. Ledvina, general secretary of the vice presidents and a member of the Indianapolis diocese, and David Smith, manager of the church goods division of the Catholic Extension department of the United States. The car will be open until 10 o'clock tonight. The men in charge expect a flood of visitors as Rev. Ledvina was a student with Fathers Roell and Cronin and is a close friend to the entire Catholic clergy here. He has been a member of the society for seven years. The car was built by a resident of Dayton and is the second of its kind to have been constructed. The other is the St. Anthony which is doing missionary work in the west. The car left Boston several weeks ago and was held in Dayton for repairs. A three days stop at Cincinnati brought excellent results. Rev. Ledvina stated. The chapel was crowded at all times when it was open to the public. It will leave early tomorrow for Rushville, Columbus, Indianapolis,

three days, Tipton, Kokonio and Chicago. After Christmas it will leave for , Idaho. The chapel Is equipped with every ' appointment found in a big church. Services are held with as much sol- i emnity and convenience as in a per- j manent church building. .Mass is said

cany, uengious instruction is given every morning and a lecture in the evening. Those who desire may receive Holy Communion on the car and other sacraments are administered as required. Confessions are heard by the priests in charge and baptisms on board are not uncommon.
