OFFICIALS FEAR NO GAS RATIMHCREASE Decision of Supreme Court on Railroad Case Learned Today.

Mayor Robbing and President Bavis of the board of public works smiled with satisfaction today -when a recent decision of the United States Supreme Court, reading as follows, was brought to their attention: "If a railroad corporation has bonded its property for an amount that exceeds its fair value, or if its capitalization is largely fictitious, it may not Impose upon the public the burden of increased rates as may be required for the puropse of realizing profits upon such excessive valuation or fictitious capitalization. Both the mayor and Mr. Bavis said this decision fitted the question at issue in the action of the Indiana Public Utilities commission authorizing the RichtnjRndl I H. &, P. company to issue 1850,000 in bonds. Applicable Here. If this decision held good for a railway corporation it would hold good for any other class of corporation, the city officials contend. They assert that the $850,000 bond issue of the L. H. & P. is in excess of the valuation of the plant, but the ruling of the supreme court-would protect local natural gas consumers from any effort on the part of the" local corporation to have its rates increased by petitioning to have the rates based on its $850,000 valuation, established by the commission by its bond issue order. Saturday the state commission admitted to Mayor Robbins and City Attorney Bond that it had acted on the bond issue petition without having made an inventory of the company's holdings, but had done so to protect the company from financial embarrassments. The commission further said that while it technically had recognized the company to have a plant valuation of at least $850,000 it would not use this valuation as a basis of rate making unless it was established as a just valuation after a careful inventory by the commission's engineers and accountants. Under the supreme court ruling the city officials feel confident that the commission could not do otherwise than pursue the policy it has outlined for rate making if the L. H. & P. ever petitions for a rate increase.

SEMESTER STARTS WITH 3,676 PUPILS

Giles Reports Largest Enrollment in History of Schools.

With an augmented enrollment the city schools started the second day of the new semester with an attendance of 3,676 which number Is a substantial increase over the previous term. The principals of the various schools have filed their report with City Superintendent Giles. Following is the attendance at each school : High School 738. Garfield 445. Finley 236. Warner 296. Starr 428. Whitewater 312 Hibbard 305. Vaile 318. Baxter 254. Sevastapol 254. Joseph Moore 94. This term's attendance is considerably large than the fall semester owing to the fact that many boys and girls entered the kindergarten and primary grades of the schools. The enrollment is much larger than the actual attendance. There is very little if no change in the teaching force of the schools. The printing department of the high school under the supervision of Charles Towle will have daily classes instead of three classes a week as was the rule last semester.

QUIT MEAT IF YOUR KIDNEYS ACT BADL?

Take Tablespoonful of Salts if Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers Drink Lots of Water.'

We are a nation of meat eaters and our blood is filled with uric acid, says a well-known authority, who warns us to be constantly on guard against kidney trouble. The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork; they get sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and thus the waste is retained in the blood to poison the entire system. When your kidneys ache and feel like lumps of lead, and you have stinging pains in the back or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder is irritable, obliging you to seek relief during the night; when ydu have severe headaches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad weather, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before brpakfastreach morning and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutralize the acids in urine so it is no longer a source of irritation, thus ending uniary and Tiladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot iniure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink, and nobody can make a mistake by taking a little occasionally to keep the kidneys clean and active.

ITALIANS IN BATTLES CAUSE IS UNKNOWN

Using their mother tongue two Italians told Police Chief Goodwin and Prosecutor Reller all about the near riot at Third and North A streets yesterday. But the officers still wonder what it was all about. Mike Florence is slated for assault and battery. Lora Sundidal, the man who was assaulted, today told the police that Florence was not the man, and went through a series of gestures, explaining how someone had held him by the' coat lapels and pummeled his face. One eye is swollen shut, the other is bruised and bloodshot. Through an interpreter Florence said he saw the fight but tried to separate the combatants. Police are searching for the man described as "big and little" who committed the assault.

I As there were several Italians, who j had been drinking, mixed up in the I trouble, the prosecutor indicated today ! that he would change the affidavits,

charging the whole gang with riot. When the police arrived at the scene they found Sundidal unconscious from the blows. The others had scattered. Florence was arrested at the Elliott: Reid fence factory. Final hearing was set for tomorrow morning.

HONEYWELL LEAVES FOR CHICAGO HOME Local Pastors Prepare For Big Meetings Wednesday Night.

Despite the lateness of the hour of the departure of the Rev. I. E. Honeywell, Mrs. Honeywell and their daughter, a number of the campaigner's most ardent admirers gathered at the Pennsylvania station to bid farwell to the evangelist, who left for Chicago last night. The other members of the party are still at the Dr. Bailey home on South Fifteenth street. Prof. and Mrs. Clase will be guests at a monster meeting of church workers rfom all party of the county, to be held in the tabernacle tomorrow night. Dr. Madison Swadener, of Indianapolis; vice president of the Indiana AntiSaloon Lague will be the principal speaker. The Honeywell choir has been asked to sing and it is expected that fully three hundred will be in the choir section Clase to Direct Chorus. Prof and Mrs. H. C. Clase have consented to remain in Richmond until after the tabernacle farewell. He will have charge of the chorus. Mr. and Mrs. Clase will sing a duet. Frank C. Huston, a baritone and song writer, will sing Ira D. Stanley's "The Ninety and Nine." Cards advertising the Wednesday night meeting are being distributed among factory men and clerks of the city. An effort is being made to fill the tabernacle for the service. Ministers anl laymen of the entire county will hold a meeting in the Y. M. C. A. Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock for the purpose of organizing a county church federation to promote a mutual relationship between the rural and city ministers. Workers Meet Tomorrow. The Personal Workers' League will hold a noon luncheon at the Y. M. C. A. tomorrow. At this time Evangelist Edgar L. Williams will address the gather concerning the work to be done by visiting the out-of-town churches. He will suggest follow-up methods on the work started by Evangelist Honeywell. It was planned to have a Sunday school parade Wednesday night but the project has been abandoned, but it is planned that members of all Sunday schools attend the service. At this time it is not known what disposition will be made of the tabernacle. A conference of the One Hundred Committee was held late this afternoon. The reports of the finance building and other committees were discussed. It is probable that a movement will start to purchase the number which has been used in the construction of the building so that the tabernacle may be used for mass meetings at different times. To Send Greetings. That the ministerial association of Richmond will give Evangelist Honeywell recommendation of the success of the revivalist is shown by the fact that a special committee was appointed to draw up a set of resolutions to the ministers of Fairbury, 111. Evangelist Honeywell will hold his next meetings in that place. Several churches to which the Honeywell professed converts have signified their desires to affiliate, are arranging for public receptions at whicn time the doors of the church will be thrown open to the new members. Almost every one of the professed converts placed the name of some church on the cards and the minister of the designated church has extended the invitation to those who have applied for membership. At last Sunday's service many were accepted as members.

Is it any wonder the Bile dams up in the Liver? Is it any wonder that you have - blood waves? That your tongde is coated, that you are dizzy, bloated, achey and utterly stupid? Without Bile to purify the food in intestines your blood food is contaminated with the putrifying mass, The whole mucous lining becomes coated. PODOLAX RELEASES THE BILE. Nature soom catches up if you will release the Bile. The Bile disinfects and purifies the blood. Since the days of Jacob, Mandrake (the Biblical name of May-apple) has been used. Your ancestors used May-Apple-Root Tea; your father used Podophyllin (the medical name for May -Apple Root. (Those days it was a bitter dose, and griped, but it released the Bile. Nowadays it is just as effective in releasing the Bile and in PoDoLax the bitterness and griping have been eliminated. A spoonful every night for three or four days will release the Bile, and after occasional use for a month the results will show by an increase in weight. The children like it. You can reason you know that a free Bile flow means a healthy, vigorous body. We guarantee that I'oDoLax will release the Bile, so you are justified in spending 50 cents for a bottle.

Charges have not been filed in police court against John White,' who was alleged to have taken a pocketbook containing $1.20 from a Mrs. Rush, at 93 North Sixth street. Mrs. Rush first told Police Chief Goodwin that White picked up the purse when she dropped it in a store on Main street. Branding her story as implausible Chief Goodwin induced Mrs. Rush and White to

make confessions which probably will i

result in the filing of serious charges against both. White took the pocketbook and spent the money following a night of debauchery.

Rheumatic Cripple Cured. Mr. Frank H. Rogers, of Momenee, HI., writes ; "I take pleasure in highly recommending Dr. Jones' Liniment. A year ago I was obliged to use crutches, having been crippled with rheumatism. Doctors failed to help me. Various remedies did no good. I used several bottles of Dr. Jones1 Liniment and recovered so fully that I went back to my old job of firing a locomotive. Dr. Jones' Liniment is also excellent for neuralgia." Here is a man who suffered great pain, and was unable to work, which would discourage most anybody. How many men and women are there, who finding no relief after trying two or three remedies give tip in despair, and make life unpleasant for themselves and those around them ? Such was not the case with Mr. Rogers. He kept on trying until he finally got the right medicine and was cured. Dr. Jones' Liniment will do the same for you. A. G.
