FOX UPHOLDS COUNTY'S ACTS OVER SUBSIDY
iPurtelle, Who Fails to Appear in Court, Loses Second Round of Traction Line Election. The citizens of Wayne and Boston townships won the first victory In the case of the mandamus proceedings of the Richmond-Hamilton Traction company against the county commissioners In circuit court today. Judge Fox sustained demurrers filed by County Attorney Hoelscher against the complaints of the plaintiff alleging the facts set forth in the complaints are being Insufficient for a writ of mandamus. The attorneys for Eugene B. Purtelle and others, who constitute the officers and directors of the traction rompany. did not appear against the demurrer, and Judge Fox sustained the county In the first step to delay as long as possible any court action which may be unfavorable to the citizens of the two townships. It is believed by county officers that should the election be forced to determine whether $100,000 of Wayne township's money and $10,000 of Boston township's money be given to the traction company, it would result in a defeat for the company. In order, however, not to take chances and to pave the expenses of an election, the fight will be kept up in court. While the subsidy would obtain a etrong favorable vote in South Richmond and in the southern part of the
township, it is believed that those not bo vitally interested would vote against the $100,000 gift in order to prevent additional tax increase which would be required if the subsidy were given. - RE-OPENS LIBRARY WITH OSTEM Mrs. Bernhardt Says the Changes Will Allow More Ready Use of Books. The Morrisson-Reeves library opened again today in all its departments. The library has been closed since August 22 on account of improvements designed for further extension of its service to the public. These changes include alterations in the lobby of the second floor at the delivery desk, so ,that the public may have readier access directly to the books. Instead of the counter surmounted (by an iron grill through which books were returned, the patrons will find an entrance to the stocks. During the
.hours the attendants in the circulating department are on duty the gate will 'be left open so that patrons of the library may, if they choose, consult the hooks on the shelves directly. Although this is by no means a new feature with the library, the structure oi
the building itself has made it something of a problem how best to accomplish the free circulation of the stocks, while at the same time securing rapid and efficient delivery of books to those patrons who knew, without consultation, exactly what hooks they wanted. 'This has now been solved, it is hoped, by the improvements made during the last two weeks. Mrs. Bernhardt said: "The most immediate effect which is to be looked for as the result of the change is the closer contact between the public and the library staff, and the discovery on the part of the public of the splendid resources of the library n lines other than fiction. If this alone lis the result it will be a good investment, even though the number of ibooks used does not exceed the already steady ratio of increase which has marked the growth of the library, while it has been under my personal observation." Patrons of the library who desire may now walk directly through the entrance while the gate is open, during the time the circulating department is In operation and pick out the number of books to which they are entitled and hand them to the attend
ant at the delivery desk to be issued in their name. Although markers are already in place showing the different classifications of books under subjects, it probably will be easier for the readers to call for assistance from the attendants, so that they may lose as little time as possible. , The library has little fear that books will be misplaced or otherwise lost as noon as the public realizes that the books should be put back in the exact place on the shelves from which they were removed so that they may be found readily by the next comer and the library attendants themselves.
CENTRAL CHRISTIAN MAY CALIMOTLEY Pastoral Committee Recommends Engaging New Castle Man as Pastor. It Is believed that the matter of selecting a minister to succeed Rev. R. C. Leonard In the pastorate of the Central Christian church Is practically settled. Rev. W. R. Motley of New Castle probably will take charge of the church. The official board met last night and passed a resolution recommending to the congregation that It Issue a call to the Rev. Mr. Motley. The congregation will act on the resolution at regular service Sunday morning. Rev. Motley preached two sermons here Sunday. He will preach both morning and evening next Sunday. He made a favorable Impression with the congregation. When approached, he signified that he would accept a call to the Richmond church.
CLUB WILL ATTEND STAETjEDERATION Directors to Answer Questions on Methods Followed by Commercial Body. A number of Richmond Commercial club members will attend the meeting of the Federation of Commercial Clubs of Indiana at Terre Haute, October 14 and 15. The state federation Is an organization which assists the Individual commercial club in bringing to the
front matters of state interest or in introducing into other cities good work which has been beneficial when tried in other places. Because of the interest the Richmond Commercial club has taken in matters of state wide benefit and the work it has accomplished in Rich
mond, a large delegation probably will
attend the meeting to answer personally many Inquiries which have come here from commercial clubs and chambers of commerce of the leading cities of the state. 'ine matter was brought up at the meeting of the board of directors last night. The directors, each of whom are chairmen of committees, were urged to influence the men with whom
they are most associated to attend the
meeting.

Harry Miller, colored, badly Injured about the head, wounds requiring seven stitches to close. Ben Saunders, colored, collar and shirt torn and feeling badly ruffled. The two Weatherly brothers, were arraigned In city court this morning, each charged with assault and battery. Nelson Weatherly met Howard Burgess Saturday night at the corner of North Eighth and E streets and accused him of yanking a hat off his head some time before. Howard denied the charge, whereupon Nelson smote him and went to the pavement with him. Burgess yelled that he was being murdered and Miller then pulled the younger Weatherly off him. At that time Saunders happened along and gave aid to the stricken iiurgess, who accused his benefactor of having assaulted him. Miller denied this assertion in behalf of Saunders and at that time George Weatherly took a hand in the dispute. While he was challenging the two colored men to mortal combat Nelson Weatherly hurled himself upon Saunders and tore his collar and shirt. The four men then adjourned to have a battle royal near the railroad tracks. Later while Saunders was standing
In front of North Eighth, street pool room George Weatherly appro acted him and accused him of having assaulted his brother, then without warning hit him three times on the top of his head with a large rock.
