SOLONS RALLY TO SUPPORT OF PRIMARY BILL Jones-Rinear Measure, Back- , ed by Rank and File, to be ! Poshed Through Legislatore.

HOUSE IS IN FAVOR

Author Gets Enough Votes to Pass Legislation and Hopes to Swing Upper House., - BY LEASED WIRE. INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Jan. 19. Every member of the house In the state legislature today found a copy, of the statewide primary plank adopted by the Indiana Democrats in . convention last March on his desk : when - the house convened at 10 o'clock . this morning. This action indicated that the friends of . the Jones-Rfnear measure which was Introduced" in both branches - of ' the assembly yesterday afternoon, would' make a determined effort to have the primary bill passed. It is understood that a state wide organization Is to be formed to urge the enactment - of the Jones-Rinear bill. Supporters of the 'measure " say the rank and' file of the .Democratic party desire a primary" election law, and that the Insertion of that plank In the party' state platform was the one thing that worked strongly to hold the party together In the last state election. They say If such a law Is not enacted, the voters will be heard from In 1916 in a way that will not be pleasing to the Democratic state leaders. Jones Rallies Strength. It appears that Representative John R. Jones who introduced the measure tn the House has support enough to get the bill through that body. It remains to be seen whether the senate will yield to the demands that the supporters of the bill are creating. The senate committee on Judiciary today reported favorably the Van Aucken anti lobby bill, the administration's measure aimed at remedying lobby evils. It would compel the registration of all lobbyist and make it necessary for them to carry identification cards issued by the secretary of state. The Eisner bill permitting farmers mutual Are insurance companies to Insure town property was also favorably reported today. A Test for Liver Complaint Mentally UnhappyPhysically Dull.

market was high, medium and way down. The only people who have

been stung hard by the merger were those who put back their cash payments into Rumely stock and held on

to it. That was their own fault, however, for they, had an opportunity to get out at one time at a profit of from eight to ten, times the par value of their Gaar-Scott holdings. In cash received, every Gaar-Scott shareholder made a profit of from four to five times the par value of his holdings. "Those who lost on the deal are practically all a class of people who can afford their losses. I do not believe there were a half dozen of small stockholders, people of moderate means, who lost heavily. "I have heard criticisms of the merger quite frequently but in my opinion it was the only sensible action the Gaar-Scott company could have done. Threshing machine companies all over the country were at that time entering into combinations and if the GaarScott company had not done so it would have had to secure a large amount of additional capital for reequipment to meet competition successfully." Cause of Downfall.' Failure of holders of $1,300,000 of Rumley notes, which were to fall due March 1, to give an extension to them was what brought about the downfall of the corporation. When the original Rumely management collapsed and C. H. Funk assumed control of the des

tines of the company there were $10,000,000 of two-year notes outstanding. All noteholders, except those holding $1,300,000 of the paper, agreed to ex

tend the notes three years. The company for the last two years haB been financed principally through bank loans. The company has a good cash balance, but not enough to meet the maturity of the $1,300,000 notes March 1. The troubles of the .company were added to last summer by the financial depression followed by the Epropean war. The company also did a large business with Canada, and there it encountered difficulties with the moratorium brought about by the war, as well as a sudden and severe drop in collections. Retrench Activity. These troubles were met by a sharp retrenchment on the part of the management of the company, a policy Richmond felt acutely, for work was practically suspended at the GaarScott plant. Sales forces were cut to a minumum and manufacturing seased as soon as an output sufficient to meet contracts had been produced. This policy was in sharp contrast to

POLICE HUNT BANDITS

The police were warned . today to watch for two men who killed a man at Mount Vernon Sunday and shot the marshal when be tried to dislodge them from a freight car. Vogelsong, Wenger and Westenberg searched the freight train which came from North Vernon today and found only one unsealed car. This was empty. There were no tracks in the snow and the patrolmen said that if the bandits took the train, they left it before coming to Richmond. ; . ,

the free-speeding regime of Dr. Rumely of Laporte, chief promoter of the big merger, and for a time regarded as a financial and industrial genius by many Richmond people. He now conducts a school for boys. Possibly the greatest mistake of the

former mangement of the Rumely company was overproduction. For a time the warehouses of the local plant groan with constantly accumulating stock and finished products. Wise ones shook their heads, the less astute predicted that Richmond's golden era was at hand. Disposed of Machine. -: The Funk administration finally succeeded in disposing of the bulk of finished machines, but had not re-engaged in extensive manufacturing again because their was no market for the products in the company's best territories. Many believe that if the stubborn noteholders had been persuaded to jgrant extension. Funk would have been able to weather the industrial storm. It is generally agreed, however, that the company would eventually have abandoned its local plant, operating only those at Laporte and Battle Creek! The Gaar-Scott company was among Richmond's oldest industries. For several years before its merger it employed on an average of six or seven hundred men, and up to the time of its merger had been paying 25 per cent dividends.

along the route, if any of them would be interested in starting the line. I believe we could find plenty of local people who would assist them. The Commercial club will not put up the money, but we can find people who trill. "1 know that the writer of that communication is not the only one in Glen Karn who wants Richmond opened as a trading place. There are others, and many others in the six or seven small towns on the route who will be glad to

trade in Richmond. It is an oppor

tunity for a great freight and passenger business." Mr. Jordan suggested that a route of from five to eight towns be made out.

The route would include the following

towns now isolated from Richmond:

Mlddleboro, Whitewater, Bethel, Hollansburg, Glen Karn, Arba, Crete and

SDartansburg.

This matter will be referred to the

directors of the club and to the merchants' section for further action. Some of the club members are inter ested in the Liberty-Richmond line,

which Includes only two towns, and

have found it a profitable investment.

THOMAS J. LYNCH. Thomas J. Lynch, former president of the National League, thinks the time has come to call a halt in the baseball war. The Feds and O. B. are committing financial suicide, he says, by continuing their fight. He is in favor of admitting the Federal Leaguo to the national agreement. "Grabbing players and paying them princely salaries will spell ruin for all those interested," he says. The millions behind the Federal League and the business acumen of Its magnates insure the success of the Gilmore organization he believes.
