HODGIN GOES AFTER

CARELESS WIRING

Companies ' Must String Wires to Conform to New Code.

$23,750 JOB FARM 159 Acres Near City Sold to W. H. Glunt.

City Building Inspector Hodgin today formally notified th city light plant and all companies which have overhead wires, that they wijl have until August 1 six months to .conform to the provisions of the new building code. Many wires are now strung in a most careless, consequently dangerous, manner, and it is going to be a big job to rearrange them. However, if after August 1, wires are not strung properly, they will be cut down by Hodgln. Here is the section of the building code which the inspector will vigorously enforce: "All wries must cross other wires at right angles, or as near at right angles as possible, and must be drawn taut to avoid swinging contacts, and a pole or fixture must support the- wires as near the point of crossing as possible. Wires must be at least seven feet above the highest part of flat roofs, and at least one foot above the ridge of pitched roofs over which they pass or to which they are attached. Must be brought below the roof of any building, commencing as high up as possible, and be run straight down between and not in front of win

dows, hoistways, etc., and as near the wall as the character of the service will admit. Must not cross streets or alleys overhead below the roof of the lowest building to which they are attached, and service connections from poles to buildings must be run straight across the street or sidewalk and then down on the wall of the building. Must, in crossing, pass eiove or bel)pw the wires of another ctfjipany, and not among a group of wires. Wires must not be attached to chimneys nor in any manner interfere with the free use of fire escapes. No unused loops or connections from electric light or power circuits shall be allowed to remain after being disconnected from the inside wiring of the building, except in cases ,-where it is poscitively know that the service will be required again within three months. When allowed to remain, the loop or service connections must be as well insulated and protected as the line itself. All dead and unused wtres and all loops and unnecessary wires which can be removed without interfering with the system must be taken down from their supports and removed at once. Wires must be removed and renewed whenever the insulation becomes worn, bruised or defective." Points to Abuses "Look down any alley," said Hodgin today, "and you will find many wires running straight down poles into first stories of buildings, or in other

haphazard ways. In case of a fire the firemen would literally have to cut their way through a jungle of wires. That provision relating to the placing of wireB is one of the very best in the building code." Hodgin met last night with three members of a special council committee Burdsall, Howella and Steinbrink and discussed proposed amendments to the building code. These amendments will bo introduced at the next council meeting. It was definitely decided to provide a 50-cent fee for the Inspection of wiring in all old houses, and to provide a permit for the installation of furnaces, which must also be inspected, the fee being 60 cents. The provision providing for the taging of all wires on roofs within the ire limits will be stricken out, as it was declared to be unnecessary. Today the Irst building permit under the new system was taken out. It was issued by the inspector after all specifications had been examined, to

Lawler Bros., for the construction of

a frame store room at 933 North Twelfth street. The estimated cost was $1,365, and the fee charged was

one-fifth of one per cent of the cost of construction.

The 169 acre farm of Cornelius J. Wright two miles southwest of Richmond on the Abington pike, brought $150 an acre, when, the owner disposed of it to William H. Glunt for $23,850 this week. The. price includes the buildings and improvements and the residence which is a modern dwelling house. The record of the warranty deed was made in the recorder's office today. Another sale of this week's record today was the 160 acre farm of Benjamin Hatfield, two miles east of Milton. The farm is the same size as the Wright farm but brought only $12,845. It was sold to Abriam Boyd who will take possession February 22.

SMOTHERSDISPUTE Senator Aids Trust Bill Consideration.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24. Efforts to bring about a factional split among the senators over President Wilson's

anti-trust program met with a quick rebuff today. Opponents had attempted to stir up a dispute as to jurisdiction of members of the interstate commerce committee and the judiciary of the senate, but this was quickly settled by Senator Overman, chairman of the latter body. Under a call by Chairman Clayton, the house judiciary committee today voted to determine a coure of procedure for a public Inquiry into the views of the men who may be brought to Washington to speak for every interest to be affected. Among the men to be heard are heads of corporations, writers on economics, attorneys for shippers and all manufacturers and shippers, spokesmen for organizations of farmers and trades.

$100 BOOTY REWARD OF TRAINJOBBERS Passengers Are Unmolested While Express Car Offers Little Loot.

CHATTANOOGA, Jan. 24 No trace has been obtained of the three masked men who last night boarded Southern railway passenger train No. 41, Chattanooga to Tuscumbia, Ala., at Packler, Ala., and after cutting off the engine and two cars, robbing the mail

and express cars, they fired upon the engine, opened the throttle and leaped from the train. The engine and two cars ran wild a distance of nineteen miles, startling the residents of small stations along the line. They were rewarded by securing a sum of $100, which is believed to have been in the safe of the express car. No attempt was made to rob the passengers, although there was a fusillade of pistol shots, as the coup was executed in a longely spot near the little town of Fackler.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 24. Danger of further complication in the delicate situation existing between this country and Japan by impulsive outbreaks In the senate and the house and to discuss safeguards of the menace is said to be the real purpose of the conference that the president has called with the foreign relations committees of the house and senate. Also at this conference the foreign relations committees will make known to the president their desire to share with Secretary Bryan In the responsibility for and direction of the government's foreign policy. Senators have refrained from expressing their opinion on the Mexican situation because they did not want to embarrass the administration. The tension has not relaxed, however, and speeches iu the senate seem immi

nent. A thorough discussion with the foreign relations committees is believed the only method of suppressing embarrassing speeches in congress for any length of time.

The town hall was well filled at the afternoon session. In the absence of Mrs. A. D. Cobb, wife of the county agricultural agent, Mr. Cobb gave the talk, "The Domestic Science Club and Its Relation to the Community." He gave a brief review of the work accomplished by the Domestic Science association at its meeting at Lafayette at the farmers' short course. W. H. Senour, of Brookville, a noted stockman, gave a lecture on the sub-

jest "Balance Rations." He explained the various methods of feeding cattle, the proportion of ensilage and dry feed, with relation to the quality ofi milk obtained from the animals. Dinner was served by the Ladies'!

Auxiliary, and more than a hundred

of cows belonging to Pettis Reid tfted more than 6 per cent butter fat. but the cows gave very little milk. As the testing costs nothing. It Is expected that the new testing association will develope rapidly. The testing itself may prove to be a side Issue later. Mr. Murdock stated, and may be only a guage of the advance made in dairy cow conditions. ,.., ,

PRESENTS PLAN TO COLLECT FLOWERS

For a Deep Seated Cold. It is in cases of deep seated colds fhat Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is most appreciated. It relieves the lungs and makes breathing easier, liquifies the tough mucus and makes it easier to expectorate, allays the cough and aids nature in throwing ofC the cold and rfstoring the system to a heaUhy condition. Mrs. C. B. Walters, Decatur, 111., says, "Fifteen years ago Chamberlain's Cough Remedy cured me of a de?p stated cold on the lungs and rid me of an aggravating cough. 1 have since usod it when needed and it has always produced the desired results. " For sale by all dealers.

If tentative plans are carried out, visitors to Glen Miller park next summer will have an opportunity to see and inspect every kind of flower grown in Wayne county. It is planned to collect species of every flower grown in the county and plant them promisciously in the park. The idea was advanced by Frand Edmunds, who broached the matter to Alfred Bavis, president of the board of public works. Mr. Bavis is heartily in favor of the idea, and believes with Mr. Edmunds, that a botanical garden, as suggested by some, would not be as practical as placing different kinds of flowers in different part of the big park.

William McCone, who was arrested by the Muncie police for brutally assaulting his wife and leaving her on the ground near Mechanicsburg, Ind., to freeze, was released on the failure of Wayne or Henry county authorities to forward warrants for his arrest. McCone's arrest, according to the po

lice at Muncie, was made at the request of the Richmond police department. After an investigation the prosecutor saw that he had no Jurisdiction in the case and turned it over to the prosecutor of Henry county. Mrs. McCone's sufferings began, according to her story, in December, when she and her husband, living in this city, separated. She was left without money or food. Goes to Father. Carrying a shotgun, a suitcase, and leading a dog, she started to her father, who was clearing land near Mechanicsburg. The first day she traveled the railroad right-of-way. At night she slept in a straw stack. A rabbit, shot with the gun, was the only food during the trip. The second day she continued walking the ties. By washing she was able to make

expenses and had to give up the oneroom shack in which she had lived for a time after reaching her parents. Her father obtained a tent near his camp. McCone came to the tent Sunday, December 28. They quarreled. The husband, it is said, dragged her from the tent and assaulted her. With her hands tied with a clothes line and gagged with a bandanna handkerchief she was found the next morning, unconscious and frozen to the ground. When lifted, part of her hair was pulled from her head and pieces of flesh torn from her scalp. Her hearing

has been affected by the experience.

Fulghum, who was formerly connected with the college spent one day this week at the school.

DIES FROM WOUND HENRYVILLE, Ind., .Ian. 24. Henry Heine, aged 57, a farmer, living near here died from a wound suffered when he was shot by his wife. The shooting occurred at 7 o'clock last night, when as Mrs. Heine says her husband came home intoxicated and abused her and her children, and for her protection she was forced to shoot him.
