INSURANCE MEN WILL VISIT CITY
'.' George Eggemeyer, chairman of the insurance committee of the Commercial club,-announced today that representatives of several of the largest insurance companies in the country would visit Richmond tomorrow and meet with the Insurance committee to discuss ways and means of lowering local Insurance rates.
Alleging .that the publio service
commission engineers overestimated the re-production value nd the present value and underrated depreciation, City Attorney -Will Bond has made up a bill of. .ten objections to the valuations placed on . the city light plant and the plant of the Light, Heat and
Power company. -. - The valuations 'are declared to be unreasonable and unjust and the city attorney asks' that only the property used in the production of electricity be includes in making up the. valuation; and that the "present : value" only, be considered for rate making purposes without taking into consideration reproduction cost and similar items. Accepts Valuation. The Richmond Light, Heat & Power company today mailed to the Indiana Public Utilities Commission a brief accenting the' valuations ' established
on the physical properties of that com
pany and of the Municipal Electric Lighting and Power plant
The Light, Heat: & Power company
in its brief, however, requests that in
establishing electric lighting and
Power rates for this city cost of or
ganization and legal service, working capital and . going concern .value, toeether with physical valuation of
properties, be considered - in each instance.
"In reference .to the tentative valua
tion of the physical property of the
Richmond, Light, . Heat & Power company no substantial objections are made to the same in the aggregate valuations," read. the brief. The com
pany reserves the right, however, to make corrections of various , calculations of the .commission engineers if

how the fight was progressing. Tne boy was told that things looked pretty good for Johnson so far. as he had been - getting the decision in almost every round.
'I'll just bet anybody who wants to

the boy. His money was taken im

In a few minutes word was received that Johnson had taken the count, and

LORD EXPECTS MEN
TO RENDER SERVICE
"To be prepared to die a man must be prepared to live," said Rev. I. C. Overman in speaking on "Are you fit to Live" at the revival at the First Baptist church last night. "When the Lord allows a human being to occupy space on this earth and enjoy God's blessings he has the right to expect some return, just as the husbandman has the right to expect fruit from the tree that he plants and waters. Persons who do not make some helpful return for what God gives them are in the way in this world and would better make room for others. No -one Is fitted to live in the real sense of the term - unless he has the Lord Jesus Christ as the guide of his life." The
subject of the sermon tonight will be "The Contract of Christ"
Guard City's Health, Slogan of Committee
Two important new health measures
were adopted by the Commercial club public health committee last night at the' suggestion of Dr. David W. Dennis. He will conduct campaigns for
both measures and will write a series
of short articles, which will . be published by the newspapers.
' The first is to have all wells in the city closed, and to prevent drinking from any water source except the city water supplied from the regular source east of the city. . Open Wells a Menace. "Open wells are a fearful menace," Dr. Dennis declared. "Few realize this, but I have studied the methods of the
government in purifying the Panama
zone, and I found that the first stipulation was to stop the residents from drinking from open water sources. .The water sheds from which the Panama water supply is received is un
inhabited to prevent' any chance of
contamination with colon bacilli.
"Richmond's death rate from typhoid fever last year was seventy-five times greater than that of Panama. In this city, there were thirty-one deaths from typhoid fever, and many other
cases which resulted seriously for those afflicted, although they recover
ed. Nine out of ten cases in Rich
mond have been traced to well water,
The other cases were imported. By
closing the well we can reduce typhoid
fever to one-tenth. Fight on Spitting. Dr. Dennis will also conduct a campaign against spitting in public places. He declared that in a few years Rich
mond will be free from tuberculosis if
Much seed corn on . Indiana farms
Is bad. To secure the necessary seed, which amounts to more than eight hundred thousand bushels, and which
will germinate in a strange way giving a first-class stand, will require active work on the part of Indiana corn growers. . . In response to the query, 'What Is the Condition of Your Seed Corn?" recently sent out by Prof. G. I. Christio of Purdue1" Agricultural extension department, many hundreds of farmers bave examined their seed and have found from two to ten ears in every hundred dead or so low in vitality that they are not fit for seed. Exhibits of corn at many shows have also shown
low vitality. The hard freezes of the
early winter caught many ears con
taining too much moisture. ' The time required to' eliminate these dead or weak ears will be well spent and will
show great returns in crops. Crop .Depends on Seed. This last . season barren stalks in
Indiana corn fields ranged from five
to thirty' per cent. All barren stalks
may not be the result of any one fac
tor. but it is felt that they are due
in a large part to the. planting of weak seed. These barren stalks furnish pollen to fertilize the grains on good ears which are used for the next year and which, if conditions are at all favorable, reproduce barren stalks.
Therefore, the planting of high-class
seed not only insures a good stand
but ia insures a higher percent of ear
bearing stalks. It is estimated that
about fourteen ears of corn are re-
auired to plant an acre. With a good
average of seventy bushels, the seed
from each ear will produce live Dusn
els in the fall. Estimating corn at B0 cents, the product . is worth $2.50. When an ear of corn means so much
farmers can afford to give the necessary time to germinate every individual ear. A little time and care nov will mean many thousands of bushels
of corn' on Indiana farms next year.
every one would observe this protective measure. He said that tuberculosis can not be conveyed readily even
In crowded stores and theatres, bnt must be transmitted through the sputum. -
The committee had an unusually
good organization-meeting and received some new ideas. The general plan
of working this year will be different
from previous years. Members of the committee will watch carefully all
sources from which disease many originate and against which there are laws.
Work of Individual. Dr. George B. Hunt will bave charge
of watching garbage disposal.
Dr. Marvel will, aid in conducting
fly-swatting campaigns.
Will H. Quigg will be the commit
tee's representative on dairy and milk
inspection. . ... Dr. Bsamkamp will watch the meat inspection. . Will Romey is in charge of assist
ing in having, all streets of the city
oiled. ?
Dr. Dennis will conduct campaigns against open wells and against pro
miscuous spitting.
Arrangements will be made within a short time to carry on a fly-swatting campaign. This will be done chiefly
through the schools and newspapers.
The committee will follow up other
health measures in a general way and
will assist in bringing about the erec
tion of a tuberculosis hospital. Members instructed Secretary Haas to of
fer Mrs. Mary T. R. Foulke their co
operation in any work Dr. Cofer of
the United States health bureau may
undertake.
COUNCIL ORDERS BRICK PAVING
ON NORTH A FROM 5 T0 16 STREET
PLAGE FOR SHEEP ' Oil EVERY FARi.1 III 1 ALL WAYNE COUillV
The farm department urges the desirability of maintaining a small flock of sheep upon the farm. With proper care and attention a flock of 25 or 30
ewea can be kept at very little expense and -they will prove of inestimable value in freeing the farm from weeds and adding something to the farm in
come. In addition to providing a considerable supply of wholesome food for the farm table, there will be a surplus tor sale, and an additional item . of
revenue in the form of wool.
Many farmers make a practice of
buying ewes In the fall, breeding them and selling the lambs the following
summer. Such ewes can be carried through the winter on wheat and rye
fields if not pastured too closely, or
on clover hay with some roots and a
ittle linseed meal. If the clover hay
Is not available, corn fodder mav be ised as roughage. In which case it should always be supplemented with bran or. linseed meal.
For farm purposes the black-faced
ewes are more popular than the others although good results can frequently be obtained from the white faced ones.
In buying ewes, be sure that they stand
well on their feet, have good straight
backs and good mouths. Ewes tbat
have broken teeth or teeth that are badly worn down should not be bought.
None but a pure-bred ram should be
used. It is not necessary to have a
show animal, but a strong, vigorous buck is essential. Shropshire, Oxford, Southdown and Hampshire rams sire excellent mutton lambs, and these breeds are recommended for the farm
States. A suitable ram can be bought
or 8 to $20.

By a vote of eleven to one council last night passed an ordinance, pending for over a - month, providing for the paving of North A street from Fifth street to Sixteenth 6treet. Quite a large number , of property owners attended the meeting, but made no statements. Ordinances for the paving of North
Fifth street from Main to North A, the paving of Sixth street from South
A to Fort Wayne avenue, and the paving of South A street from Fifth to Sixteenth, were introduced but to ex
pedite, the carrying out of the permanent street improvement program all
three ordinances were given their first and second readings last night on a
motion made by Councilman O'Neal. Ask for Bids.
The board of public works will now
advertise at once for bids for the pav
ing of North A street and the work of . construction will probably start about the last of May. The almost unanimous support given the ordi
nance for the paving of these streets is
taken to indicate that council will pass all permanent street Improvement ordinances which have been and
which are expected to be referred to it. Councilman John White was the only one to oppose the North A street
ordinance.
If the public school board observes the request made of it by council last
night Arbor Day, April 16, will be gen
erally observed by the school children,
A motion to this effect introduced by
Mr. Howels was adopted unanimously.

nance, an attempt to enforce which
resulted m the street car company se
curing a temporary restraining order
against the city, was rescinded by council after Mr. Bond had stated tbat Judge Fox had informed him that It
was invalid.
An ordinance to provide a cement
roadway in an alley between South Seventh and Eighth street, from South A to South B. was introduced but no action taken on it. Councilman White
said the alley needed improving but
the South Eighth street property own
ers, he said, had not yet fully recovered from the assessments levied against them for the paving of that
street. "For God's sake give those
people a chance to catch their breath,'
White implored. Report of Controller.

TRACTION LINE GETS
INCREASE IN RATES
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., April 6. The
public service commission today ap
proved the petition of the T. H. l. ana
E. to inaugurate the "penny zone sys
tem of computing fares. In other words the company is now entitled to change its tariff for passenger service so that fares will be computed according to the exact number of miles traveled, charging two cents for each mile. Heretofore this company's fares were based on five cent multiples. The new system will give a ten per cent- increase in receipts. Three other companies have received the same permission.
ENGLAND PLEASED
AT AMERICAN NOTE
LONDON, April 6. Publication of the United States note of protest against the British order in council declaring a blockade of Germany has relieved a tension that has been apparent ever since England and France adopted retaliatory measures against Germany. It is now possible to state that it was feared in England that the United States would -make demands much more drastic in their nature. British
officials and the press accepted the i
American communication as a friendly proposition: - The friendly tone of
the American note is acclaimed by the London press. The Times, after analyzing, declares the note supports the attitude" of the British government.

Indication that Turkey has turned
against the Kaiser is noted in London by the fact that General Limon Von Sanders, long the premier military authority in , Constantinople, and virtually head of the Sultan's army has gone, back to Berlin.. No definite announcement of his withdrawal from the Porte has. been made, but private dispatches assert he has left Turkey.
DONOR STOPS HORSE
Harry Donor performed circus stunts on a horse belonging to Maher's meat market yesterday when the three year old, frightened ' by a motorcycle, which skidded: under him. at Eighth and ' Main streets, ran away. Howard Campbell's electric car was struck and slightly damaged, at Tenth and Main streets. : The impact broke the shafts, but Donor held to the reins and jumped on the horse's back. The horse threw him and he again jumped to the animal's back on the run. This was repeated three times between Tenth and Eleventh streets on Main and Donor finally stopped the animal in front of the meat shop where he is employ
ed, but not until the horse had knock ed down a small post at the corner.
