THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, SATURDAY, SEPT. 12, 1914

HOELSCHER ASSERTS APPEAL Oil SUBSIDY DEFEATED III COURT Although Fox Withholds Decision, County Attorney , Says Petitioners Can Not Force Favorable Action. That no election on a $10,000 public subsidy for the Richmond-Hamilton Traction company will bo held In Wayne or Boston townships la practically a certainty. The traction officials and the petitioners for the election partially admitted defeat by bringing to the court house with them today terms of compromise. The commissioners were called out of the city and did not hear the traction case but announced that they will not compromise and that they are certain of victory. The defeat of the election was brought about through an error of the corporation lawyer, R. N. Brumbaugh. The mistake was in the method of trying to force the election. County Attorney Hoelscher admitted today move, the petitioners and the traction move', th epetitioners and the traction company could have forced the election but since the wrong method of procedure was used, it Is now an impossibility. Attorneys Hoelscher and Comstock argued on the demurrers of the county commissioners today. Comstock appearing for the petitioners. Attorneys Argue Case. Mr. Hoelscher set forth that the mandamus proceedings of the complainants asked Judge Fox to force the eommissioners to call the election. It was on this ground that he filed the demurrers for the county. Such being the case, the demurrers will be sustained, and the petition for mandamus thrown out of court. However, the petitioners attorney argued that they want the court to force the commissioners to take under advisement the calling of the election. If Judge Fox Interprets the mandamus petition from this standpoint when he renders his decision next Saturday, the demurrers will be overruled and the petition will remain in court. It Is impossible for Judge Fox to dictate the action of the commissioners as the board of commissioners Is regarded as an inferior court under the law. However, he can force the commissioners to take the election petition under consideration. This having been done and the election refused, the county commissioners will file an answer in circuit court setting forth those facts and ending the case. County Attorney Hoelscher who has been handling the case entirely for the commissioners, said today the end was certain. It is simply a question of which route will be taken. He nlso explained that the election could have been forced by an appeal to Judge Fox within thirty days of the time the commissioners refused to call the election. Instead of appealing to Judge Fox to consider the case itself the petitioners appealed to him to make the commissioners consider it. The appeal period closed September 8, the petition having been refused by the commissioners on August 8. Judge Fox heard the arguments today before a fair sized gallery. He announced after the arguments were completed that he will announce his decision in the case next Saturday.

This photograph, just received in the United States from Belgium, shows the British dirigible Astra Tores flying over Ostend after a successful trip across the English Channel. The Astra Tores has been of great service to the allies' forces in learning the position of the advancing German troops. The English aerial fighters are of a type used by no other nation. They are receiving their first practical test in this war.

War Tabloids

LONDON The German army in France is now in rout. The allied forces after inflicting heavy losses at Soissons and capturing 6,000 prisoners, have pushed the Kaiser's forces across the Ourcq river, and the pursuit continues relentlessly. The Germans are now about 70 miles away from Paris. They are reported to be burning their dead, having no time to bury them. The French forces alone in one engagement captured all the artillery of one artillery corps. This announcement by the war office was followed by the admiralty's announcement that the British fleet in the Pacific has seized the city of Herbertshohe on the German Island of New Pomerania. PARIS The seventh day of the present engagement east of Paris finds the right flank of the German army still in retreat, hotly pursued by the allies. In some sections the retreat is a rout. Six thousand German prisoners and a five mile ammunition train were taken near Soissons, where the allies cut off a large force of Germans from the main line. ROME A Petrograd dispatch to the Messagero says the Austrian losses in a second battle in Galicia are estimated at 130,000 of whom 90,000 are prisoners. BORDEAUX Editor of Petit Dauphinos has been ordered court-martialed for announcing that the military zone of Paris had been evacuated.

ROME The Tribuna says Greece has given England permission to establish a naval base on the island of Lemnos, 40 miles from the entrance to the Dardanelles with which to strike a quick blow at the Turkish navy if necessary.

BRITISH MILITARY CRITIC SAYS GERMAN WAR MACHINE CRUMBLES

BY HERBERT TEMPLE Manager in Europe of the International News Service. LONDON, Sept. 12. The German war machine is showing evidence of collapse. It has lost its energy. The Germans are burning their dead. The conflict still rages. These are three points in a graphic Btory received by the Daily News today. It was telegraphed from Chantilly, France, by H. N. Tomlinson. who has been following the armies as closely as the military authorities will permit. "With more certainty than ever before that things are well with the armies of the allies, it is time to say that the war machine of Germany is in danger of being overturned," he says. "This weary, disillusioned army of Prussians is showing evidence of collapse. The allies exhilarated by success and by the sense that the weight which has been pushing them backward has lost its energy and now is within compass of their strength, are on the road to victory that may come much sooner than is expected. "Having reached Paris, their confessed objective, the Germans dispaired, with accumulated forces opposed to them, of carrying the city, especially as they had the French army of the east on their left flank. Pickling Vinegar The kind we always keep, sure to keep your pickles. H. G. HADLEY. Phone 2292. 1035 Main St.

Fighter Flies

They made a desperate attempt to break the lines of the allies to the east, so as to divide them and thus come upon Paris again from the east and south, with their own forces intact. The allies' forces have rendered this plan impotent. The Germans have signally failed."

RUSH OF BUSINESS DELAYS RATE CASE No immediate consideration of the Richmond electric power rate case can be given by the Indiana public utilities commission, because the members of the commission have been swamped with work from every section of the state. This was the information obtained yesterday by City Attorney Bond when he appeared before the committee and asked a joint hearing of the city's petition for a power rate reduction, and the Light, Heat and Power company's petition for a power rate increase, be arranged for the near future. "I did secure the commission's promise, however, that it would within a short time act upon the city's request to reduce the minimum power rato from 75 cents per horse power to 40 cents, for the existing minimum rate is exhorbitant for the average consumer of electricity," Mr. Bond said.

It's' IK tto toe Poor A great many people keep themselves poor through careless buying. If you were offered a choice of two bonds, both reading $100.00; one costing $103.00 and one costing $75.00, but the higher priced one paying 8 per cent on the investment and the other paying nothing, and then supposing the $75.00 bond, at the end of three years, was worth absolutely nothing, and the $103.00 bond was just as good as the day you bought it. Which would you buy? Real estate men everywhere agree that a Wolverine Furnace will add $250.00 to $300.00 to the value of a residence property. A careful man will investigate his Investment in a heaUng plant the same way. It is not so much the first cost as it is the annual fuel bill and the life of the heating plant, that will affect his choice in a furnace. Wolverine Furnaces have been the standard by which correct heating is measured for thirty-five years. Our customers average one ton of soft coal per room for the entire winter. We guarantee that your home will be heated to your satisfaction or you need not pay for the furnace. If you are building why not specify a Wolverine. We will deal with your general contractor and give you the best possible lay out and guarante that you will be more than satisfied. Look at the size of the furnace above the fire pot. If the first casting above the fire pot comes up the same size as the fire pot, look out for a large fuel bill, a large air mixing chamber is necessary for the hQt results and you will find this feature only in the highest grade furnaces. The Wolverine is different. Prices right. Terms right. Guarantee right. B. D. WELCH, Heating and Ventilating Eng. Tel. 2739. J01 ",H
