BOARD QUITS OILING BY PUBLIC CONTRACT
Orders City Engineer to Test All Oil Before Application.
Not only did the board of public works vote unanimously today not to have the streets oiled this spring and summer under public contracts but it also decided that when streets are oiled under private contracts the city will not pay the cost of . the oiling of street intersections. In adopting the policy of street oiling under private contracts the board provides that no oil can be used which has not been tested by the city engineer, and that all oiling must be done under the supervision of that official. There are still unpaid assessments for street oiling done last year under public contracts to the amount of $140, which the city must assume the loss or sue the property owners.

The board also adopted a resolution to provide a combination storm and sanitary sewer In Main street between Eleventh and Twelfth streets. There is no sewer in this block now, it being drained by shallow sewers in alleys, rorth and south.

BY LEASED WIRE. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Feb. 1. Federal Judge Anderson today overruled the demurrer of Mayor Donn M. Robert, Judge Eli H. Redman and the other Terre Haute, politicians, who are
charged with conspiracy in connection with alleged election frauds, and set March 8 as the date for trial. Roberts and the others had questioned the jurisdiction of the federal court, and Judge Anderson decided that he did have the right to order the case tried in the United States court. Mayor Roberts, Judge Redman and the twenty-five other defendants were in court when he decision was read. Congressman A. O. Stanley, chief counsel for the defense, asked the court to set the trial date after the adjournment of Congress on March 5. Judge Anderson held that the federal court has jurisdiction in this case, because in the election in question, a United States senator, and a congressman were chosen. The court stated that action to debauch such an election was an offense against the United States, and a conspiracy to use the United States mails to corrupt an election also was a violation of federal laws.

PEACE MAY FOLLOW CONFLICT IN EUROPE
Y. M. C. A. BOARD ELECTS.
The board of directors of the Y. M. C. A. has been re-organized with the following officers: President, Richard Sedgwick; vice president, Alonzo Gardner; secretary, E. M. Haas; treasurer, Harry C. Doan.
That some great good, probably universal peace, would come as a result of the European war was the optimistic outlook taken by the Rev. L. E. Murray in his sermon at the First Christian church Sunday morn inc. Although many persons are discour
aged because nations that have adopted Christianity do not seem to be living up to its teachings, Rev. Mr. Murray said this was no cause for waver
ing faith. The church has progressed throughout past centuries and God has continued to work good although man could not always understand His works.
Mayor About Attack by
Young: Colored Man. Paul Reibert, white, assistant steward at the Westcott hotel, small, slightly built and wearing large spectacles, testified in city court today how : he attempted to eject Harvey Howard, colored, a sturdily built
young fellow, from the hotel kitchen, and how Howard had cut a slash In his leg which required nine stitches to close. Testimony showed that Howard had entered the kitchen with the
intention of carving up another color
ed man who had taken his position.
"I don't believe Howard Intended to
attack Reibert," the prosecutor said.
"If he attacked the colored man he was looking for I would have charged
him with assault and batterly with Intent to kill. I have only charged him with assault and battery on Reibert."
Reibert remarked, nervously, that if the slash on his leg had extended a
half inch further it would have severed a large artery and he would have bled to death. Howard drew $25 and costs and thirty days in jail. He is a
brother of Wesley Howard, prominent
as a violinist.

JONES TELLS
(Continued from Page One.) years' active participation in highway improvement and repair he believes the proper method to be that the township should only be charged with the Initial opening and grading and improving of highway. That at once the same should be graveled to the extent required by statute for such highway to be taken over and thereafterward maintained by the county as such. "By such course being pursued and by such course only can the various municipalities be required to participate in the maintenance and upkeening and repair of the main travel highways, which in their use are primarily used for the benefit of the people of the various municipalities. In no doing not only will the highways generally of the county be maintained to the highest state possible with the funds available, but in so doing will the burden of maintenance be placed where It belongs. Further, by so doing only will Wayne county be able to participate In the automobile tax fund to an amount proportionate to its contribution. Only by so doing will the various townships be relieved of what Is at this time not only a heavy burden but which is at the same time attended with a constantly increasing loss and constantly increasing expense. "The writer has shown this article to Mr. Chamness, county, treasurer, before presenting it to you, and be approves as correct the statements herein relative to the conversation with your reporter. Respectfully, W. O. JONES, County Superintendent of Highways.
