WANTS ICE SOLD -Br MIGHT HOW Barnard Issue tatement to Housewives, Asking Their Aid in Law Enforcement.

H. B. Barnard, state commissioner of Weights and measures, proposes to cause an enforcement of the law proTiding that ice shall not be sold by "guess" weight, and he is calling on the housewives of the state to assist In bringing the iceman to time. Mr. Barnard will co-operate with Herman F. Adam, city inspector of weights and measures, in bringing about a strict enforcement of the law in Indianapo11a. T. want the housewives of IndianapoMa to telephone a complaint to Mr. Adam every time they find their iceasan selling them ice by the chunk instead of actually weighing it," said Mr. Barnard. "Mr. Adam. I am assured, will respond readily to such complaints and put a stop to violations. "Ice dealers must also issue coupon books in small denominations. The smallest denomination of many books now in use is twenty-five pounds. The denomination should be as small as five pounds. The people are entitled to full value and I propose to co-operate with inspectors all over the state In bringing about an enforcement of this law. The dealers were warned last November in a circular I sent .broadcast, but many are still violating ; the law. "I have instructed the inspectors of weights and measures operating in all cities and counties to require that ice shall be weighed on delivery on scales which have been tested and sealed. I have further instructed the inspectors to require that the customers be given the amount of ice for which they are charged. Inspectors are to allow the use of coupon books in payment for ice only when the unit check is five pounds or less. Delivery men and drivers should be instructed to take checks in units of not more than five i pounds to the nearest weight shown by the scale at the time of delivery." FARMERS MEE1 FOR ORGANIZATION That ill feeling between religiqus factions has been a detriment to his work in the northern part of Wayne county, and the location of farmers' meeting ifl churcheB meant the success or failure, according to the feeling toward the church, was decleared tday at the first meeting of Wayne county farmers to organize a county farmers' bureau. ?r. Cobb explained the purpose of the organization. He was followed by Charles W. Jordan, secretary of the Commercial club. Mr. Jordon declared that in every phase of modern life, except that of organliatlon, the farmers are the equal of any others. , "1 believe the city is over-organized and the county under-organized," Mr. Jordan said. He showed the need of co-operation among farmers, not only in learning the newest methods of corn or wheat planting, but of getting favorable legislation, better roads and more conveniences. T. A. Coleman, head of county agents in the state, had for his subject, "Farm Efficiency and Better Business Methods." He proposed that the farmers separate the farm activities into the various parts and make each part efficient. The reorganization of the different parts would place the whole on a pood business basis. "Get good horses and good hogs and good cattle," advised Mr. Coleman. "Plant good wheat and good corn. Then when you reap that good grain, don't feed it to scrub animals. Each part should be co-operative with the other." CASE IS WITHDRAWN An important victory for the traction company was the withdrawal of a $1,000 damage suit yesterday during its progress in circuit court, by Fred White, attorney for Thomas Phillips, after Judge Fox had sustained a motion of Byram Robbins, attorney for the traction company, to instruct the jury to return a verdict in favor of the defendants. Judge Fox gave the attorneys two hours to argue the question and then rendered the decision in favor of the defendant with permission to the plaintiff to withdraw the case. The claim agent for the company "who came from Indianapolis to be present at the hearing, stated today that as a result of the victory, four suits, aggregating several thousand dollars, could be settled for less than $100 for the four Tt was contended for Phillins'that bJs driver, Samuel Parker, was not required to look around for the interurban when he crossed the tracks near Earlham with a big load of furniture. Phillips claimed his business was ruined as a result of the smashtip. MORTON LAKE NOW A POPULAR PLACE Morton lake is becoming the center of attraction with canoists and boatmen and not only have several new canoes been brought to the lake recently, but the Richmond Canoe club, organized last fall, is stirring into activity. The club will hold its first meeting of the season tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock in the Commercial club rooms.

MUST SERVE TERM Colored Men Sent to Jail Despite Statements.

"If one ?lass of beer places you men in euch a condition that you want to start a race riot down in your end of town, then I'll have to find you guilty of intoxication and fine you fl and costs," Mayor Robblns told Harry Guthrie and William Tracey, colored, who were arrested a couple of days ago on charges of assault and battery. Both men exhibited cut coats, although they denied that they were fighting. They were just scuffling, they said. When Police Chauffeur Wenger and Sergeant McNally arrested the boys on North F street, Tracey had Guthrie floored and was cutting his coat. According to the statement of Tracey, the two boys were not angry, but that Guthrie had cut Tracey's coat with a small penknife and he had in turn taken Guthrie's knife and cut his coat. Each testified that he had had but one drink the entire day. They will serve their sentence in the county jail. William Surface, a laborer, thought he was back in school again, for when Prosecutor Reller called his name, he piped out "Present." He pleaded guilty to a charge of intoxication. Charles Brown likewise entered a similar plea. Both were fined $1 and costs and went to jail for eleven days. NEW UNIFORMS FOR TIE POLICE FORCE New Style of Make-up, Imported From Giddy Gotham Has Been Adopted. Members of the metropolitan board of police commissioners, acting as arbiters of fashion, have decided that the uniforms now worn by the members of the police department are way behind the times, so the latest New York style of garbing coppers will be adopted and the limbs of the law will soon make a marine in full uniform blush with shame and envy. The blouse will be cut military style with the military braid collar, a row of brass buttons and blue service stripes. The trousers will be dark blue with a lighter blue stripe down the seams. The time-honored helmet is to go into the discard and in its place will be the German army hat, bulging out from the head band, high in front with a flat, slanting top. The badge is worn on the front of the hat. The uniforms will arrive about the middle of next month and the com missioners plan a dress parade to j show the taxpayers how the "finest" HJU IV ill nidi urrv uuua. Under a new order the night sergeant will parade his force every evening as far as Eleventh and Main streets. $100,000 DAMAGE CAUSED BY FIRE WORCESTER, Mass., March 28.

FREE CAR SERVICE FOR TOLEDO PUBLIC Company Today Refused to Accept the Three Cent Fare Ordinance.

TOLEDO, O., March 28. Street car service is free in Toledo this morning. Refusing absolutely to comply with the terms of the Schrieber three-cent fare ordinance, which went into effect today, the Toledo Rail and Light company began at daylight carryvng passengers free. Official orders issued by H. L. Doherty, of New York, the head of the company, to conductors, was to collect if possible a fare of five cents, but under no circumstances to accept three-cent fares except during the regeular three-cent fare hours, under the old schedule. The fre service lasted until 10 o'clock this morning when the street car company was heard in federal court upon their application for an injunction restraining the city from enforcing the three-cent fare ordinance. The decision of Judge Killits is anxiously awaited. The people have waited twelve years for three-cent fares and claim they will not now be denied. All Toledo's police reserves are being held in readiness for trouble, Mayor Keller.- upon instructions from city solicitor Thurston, attempted to test the three-cent ordinance by being put off the car upon refusal to pay five cents, but was outwitted by President Doherty of New York. When Keller attempted to pay his fares he discovered Doherty on the car and the New York man insisted on Keller and his party being his guests and no fares would be taken. Doherty played this trick twice on Keller, but the mayor finally eluded Doherty in an automobile to another part of the city. He then boarded another car and tendered his three pennies and was courteously turned down by the conductor. TAX FERRET IN Extortion Charge Against a Winchester Man. WINCHESTER, Ind.. March 28. O. V.

RIVERS RISE, BUT NO FLOOD DANGER COLUMBUS, O., March 28. A sudden rise in the Scioto and Olentangy following yesterday's rain here, gave the city officials and residents of the west side an uncomfortable- night.

This rise was considerably checked during the early morning hours, and while a flood stage is possible, it is not deemed probable.

HARTFORD CITY, Ind.. March 28. A movement is on among the club women of this city to appoint a committee which will go before Governor Ralston and lay before him In detail the crime of Rae Anderman Krau3S, as It was brought out in the trial which resulted in her being sentenced to the woman's prison for life.

For Purchasers of Motor Cars Here Us a Plain Statement of Certain Economic Facts of Vital Interest and Importance

It is quite generally known that the Paige Car is a car of extra value for the money. Many men thousands of them doubtless who realize this is so, do not understand how it can be so. Many who admit that the Paige seems to be the greatest car in the world at its price are skeptical because they don't see how the Paige Company can possibly have such advantages over competing manufacturers as to permit the production of so much better cars. So here they propose to tell just how they can and do build the greatest automobiles ever produced at their prices, or anywhere near their prices. What Their Small Capitalization Means . If their capitalization was five million or ten million or thirty million they would naturally and logically, as business men. have to try to earn dividends on such capitalization. Shouldn't we? That's perfectly simple. And where would such dividends, or profits, necessarily come from. The car. of course. Out of the price of the car. The dividends on over-capitalization would be added to the natural price of the car, and you buyers would have to pay the dividends. Now what are the facts about Paige capitalization? Only $250,000. This low capitalization means much toward extra value in the Paige car. Stockholders Satisfied With Small Earnings The stockholders and directors of the Paige-Detroit Motor Car Company are big business men, men of large interests, building here in this company a great substantial manufacturing concern and they are satisfied with moderate earnings on their stock. And every dollar earned above these dividend earnings on this small capitalization is put back into the car every season. They can prove this. You can prove it yourself by comparing the 1914 Paige models with the 1913 models and the 1913 models with those of the year before. Phone 177-0 Paige Agency 1211 Main Street

TERRE HAUTE MAYOR NOW BEFORE COURT Trial of Donn Roberts Actually Started Today Conspiracy Charge.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind., March 28 With the opening statement by the state the trial of Mayor Donn Roberts, charged with conspiracy to corrupt elections, got actually under way this morning.. The state will begin the presentation of evidence immediately upon the conclusion of the statement of special Prosecutor Joseph Roach. The trial opened with a motion by Attorney W. L. Slikard for the defense that the defense be allowed to examin the documentary evidence in possession of the state, and when this was overruled Prosecutor Roach began his .opening statement. Roach charged that Roberts was indirectly responsible for the killing about two years ago of Harry "Kid' Kiger, who was shot to death by Frank "Battle Axe" Savage. Roach charged that Kiger was at that time making copies of spurious registration lists for Roberts, doing the work at his home, and that Savage was helping. Savaged learned that Roach charged that Kiger was about to "sell out" to a morning paper, which at that time was conducting a reform campaign, and that Savage called Kiger from a saloon and shot him, inflicting mortal wounds. Savage is now in the penitentiary. CHINAMAN LEAVES SlOiOOJ BOXER Jim Pon Remembers Former Fighter Who Befriended Him Years Ago. CHICAGO, March 28 Joe Choyn-1 ski, of this city, well known former boxer, was left $10,000 by Jim Pon, a Chinaman, whom he befriended years ago. Pon's will named Choynskl as executor and guardian of his sons, and ; awarded him a substantial part of a good sized estate. . Choynski's act of kindness toward j Pon was in sending his boy to school. Later when Jim Pon became wealthy ! he sent Ned Ying to Choynski. Choynskl has arranged to have Jim Pon's little grandson join his father ; here and also arranged, in accord- ; ance with Pon's will to have both Ned Ying's wife and mother taken care of j in China. ! No "Preferred" and No ' "Water" Another thing, the Paige capitalization, as you would naturally suppose, is all genuine capital. It does not include good will, patents or "valuable trade names." Some manufacturers carry items like these as capitalization in amounts ranging from $5,000,000 to over Paige

A RICH BREWER HELD Ft. Wayne Man Shoots a Negro Waiter.

FT. WAYNE, Ind.. March 28. A. C. Trempman, a wealthy brewer, was released on $10,000 bond today pending the recovery or death of H. J. Bruce, negro waiter at the Hotel Anthony. Trempman last ingbt shot and seriously wounded Bruce when he said the latter heid his overcoat indifferently. The bullet was removed from the body at Hope hospital today and doctors said he might recover. Trempman will be called into police court on April It to answer a charge of shooting with intent to kill. STARVATION CAUSES FEEBLE JliEDNESS Hurty Declares That Many Students Do Not Receive Enough to Eat. J. N. HURTY. "Two per cent of school children are feeble minded," says Goddard, and he is good authority. Much feeble mindedness is due to heredity, but a good proportion, probably one-half of feeble minded children, are so because of starvation. They are simply starved, and, strange bui true, the proportion of starved children is as great in rural as in urban districts. Under-nOTrition prevents brain growth. In one rural school of eighten pupils only two, or 11.1 per cent, were found healthy and well nourished. Upon inquiring It was found one little girl nine years old and in the infant class, and certainly fpeble minded, had had for her breakfast two spoonfuls of "tatoes friend in greaEe." Examination of her dinner bucket showed one soggy biscuit and a small tomato for her noon lunch. Brain and body cannot develop on so little food. Her parents were indignant when gently told the child's backwardness was due to lack of food. Most school children at 14 realize that scholarship Is beyond their reach and they instinctively quit. A good percentaee of the quitters lack brains from birth, and not a few, probably forty per cent, owe their mental shortness to undernutrition before adolescence. Now that the cranks have unearthed some causes of delinquency and dependency, it remains to be seen if our practical business men who run things will buy the ounce of prevention or A.1 A V. .

The purchaser of a Paige car pays for no watered stock and he pays for no bonds. He pays for no other form of obligation or Indebtedness, for the Paige company has none, other than current expenses, all of which are paid when due. This brings us to another point.

35,000 TO ASSIST IN CLEANING CITY City Beautification Is Slogan of Men, Women and Children.

EDMONTON. Alta, March 28. Thirty five thousand men and women and pupils in the public and parochial schools, or half of the population of Edmonton, will take part in the annual spring cleaning and city beantiflcatloa week, beginning the morning of May 4. C. Lionel Glbbs. chairman of the City Beautiful committee of the Edmonton Industrial association, which is composed of 609 active business aid and professional men. will have full charge of the campaign. The association will co-operate with the public works department fn cleaning several hundred miles of paved and graded streets and lanes, and the ground on vacant properties will be ploughed and seeded to grains, grasses, root crops, and flowers and shrubbery adapted to this part of the country. The horticultural society also will assist. The committee having charge of the work will encourage the painting of houses and the repairing of walks and fences wherever necessary and assist residents in all parts of the city in beautifying their places. '"Our committee of a hundred men is making a survey of the city." Mr. Gibbs said today, "and we haTe the preliminary work so well In hand that I feel safe in announcing that not a nook or corner will be orerlooked. Our city, which occupies a commanding site on both sides of the picturesque Saskatchewan river, will be a model for any community of the North American continent when we complete our week." V. J. Magrath. president of the Edmonton industrial association, has pledged the entire membership of that organization to assist one or more days during the week, and it is expected that Mayor McNamara will proclaim a public holiday, so that all may participate.
