The public service commission refused to agree with the contention of the traction interests and said it did not consider the petition of the company to compel the regulation of the jitney bus enterprise as a cause for action. The commission dismissed the petition. It is now believed the fight will be carried to the courts by the traction company in an effort to aliminate what it. terms unfair competition.

FRIENDS EXPECT COMSTOCK WILL BE A CANDIDATE Richmond Man Boomed to Fight Lynch for G. O. P. Nomination for Congressional Race.

CANDIDATE IS SILENT Wayne County Expected to Back Judge for Position if He Decides to Make the Race. The candidacy of Judge D. W. Cornstock for the Republican nomination for representative from the Sixth district in Congress in the primary which will be held next spring, is expected to be announced soon in the opinion of Richmond political friends of the judge who have been making efforts recently to have him throw his hat In the ring. While it is known that the judge is seriously considering his proposed entrance into the race and talks candidly and without reserve on the subject to his friends, yet he declines to make a public statement for obvious reasons. It is believed that the judge is quietly sounding his prospects and will not definitely reach a decision to become an aspirant for the nomination until he is satisfied that his candidacy will carry the desired effect. Wayne Backs Candidacy. The , dominant forces which are working in his behalf are Republican lecders, his friends say, not alone in Wayne county but party adherents in practically every county comprising the district. It is confidently known that the Wayne County Republicans in the event that the judge announces his candidacy, will rally strong.y and enthusiastically to his support. Wayne county has not been represented in Congress by a Republican since Henry U. Johnson held office and as the Republicans of the district forsee victory for the candidate for Congress through the reunion of the Republican forces, leaders in this county declare they will leave no stone unturned the strongest possible candidate, they say is Judge Cornstock. Lynch Defeats Comstock. His name was persistently mentioned a year ago in connection with the congressional nomination and he would have received the nomination without opposition had not Patrick Lynch of Henry County decided ostensibly at the last moment to enter the race. Republican leaders in Wayne county know that Mr. Lynch worked secretly for the nomination and made an eleventh-hour announcement of his candidacy. When it became known that he sought the nomination during the convention, Judge Comstock declined to permit his name to go before the dele gates, stating that he did not care to enter the contest for the honor. The strong and growing opposition to the present Democratic representative, Finly H. Gray, of Connersville, all over the district and among the members of his own party, is not looked upon, naturally with any dissatisfaction by Judge Comstock's friends and political followers in the district. Opposition to Gray. Mr. Gray is serving his third term in the national lower house and is beginning to acquire those enmities and displeasures, it is said, which naturally fall to the lot of every political office-holder who fails to adequately provide for "all the boys at home." It is remembered by politicians that the same kind of opposition faced James Watson when he retired from the congressional running in 1908 to seek gubernatorial honors. These argue that this opposition is always under cover but embarrassingly effective on election day after the votes are counted. Congressman Gray is expected to have hard sledding too, because of his support of the Wilson-Underwood free trade tariff law which it is declared, is in part at least responsible for the id'e plants and unemployed workmen. It is claimed that factories in the manufacturing cities of the district including Shelby ville, Connersville, Newcastle and Richmond have been seriously effected by the provisions and workings of this measure. Fight is Expected. A canvass of the Sixth district, however, discloses to Richmond Republicans that Judge Comstock will not be handed the nomination on a platter if he seeks that honor. If he desires to be nominated, he will be compelled to pit his strength against Republicans from other counties in the district. Those whose names are prominently mentioned as probable candidates include Patrick J. Lynch of Newcastle whose candidacy is taken for granted, former Mayor Frederick I. Barrows of Connersville, Fayette county, Will A. Hough of Hancock county and ex-Mayor Swaim, Elmer Bassett and Enos Porter of Shelby county. Rush county may enter the name of Judge Will M. Sparks. Advocates of the candidacy of Lynch assert his right to the nomination again because of the spectacular campaign he made against Congressman Gray whose majority he cut to approximately three thousand. Mr. Barrows defeated Mr. Gray for mayor of Connersville some years ago and is supposed to be flirting for the nomination in the primary next spring. Mr. Hough is a prominent attorney of Greenfield, who in 1908 convention was considered a likely dark horse. Friends of Judge Comstock in considering the list of eligibles, declare without hesitation, that his chances of winning the nomination are most favorable and believe that the weaver of political fortunes will look with smiling eyes upon his candidacy. In 1898 Boston electricians were paid $15 a week of 54 hours. They now earn $24.20 for a 44-hour week.

LETTERS PREDICT CONTINUED WAR

More than a year ago persons who discovered a letter "W" . on wheat blades and a "B" on the oats leaves were gratified when their prediction of a "Bloody War" came true with the first of a series of declarations. This year they have again found the same letters and are asserting that nature Is predicting the entrance of the United States into the hostilities. FIND OATS CROP GOOD Since farmers have entered the oats fields with their binders they find that pessimistic stories of a ruined crop for which they were responsible several weeks ago were a little overdrawn. Walter Ratliff said today that the stalks of the grain had straightened up and had ripened without being effected so much by rust. Indications are that the yield which promised to be one of the best in the history of the county will be above the average despite the damage repeatedly done by wind and rainstorms: GOSPEL MEETING An old time gospel ten meeting is now in progress at North Tenth and F streets. Everybody is welcome. Meeting held by North End Mission workers, under the leadership of Evangelist Robert McGowan of Indianapolis. PROMISES TO PAY.

HUNDREDS SUDDENLY Continued From Page One. of the merrymakers turned to a wail of death. The river was cluttered with a mass of floating, struggling, shriek ing humanity. The work of rescue began as soon as the big boat settled in the water. Bodies were being ta ken out of the water and the hold of the ship at the rate of 2 per minute shortly after the accident occurred. Indignation of Crowd Grows. As each body was brought up the indignation of the crowd grew. It came to a climax when Capt. Peterson and the other officers were arrested. Violence on the part of the mob directed against the ship's officers, was narrowly averted by calling out reserve policemen. The story of the rescue of hundreds of the passengers was filled with accounts of heroic deeds that accompany every disaster. The rule "Women and Children First" was observed rigidly without a single exception according to the tales told by survivors. W. J. Plamondon, a cousin of Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Plamondon, who went down on the Lusitania saved his wife and baby, but so far as could be learned his aunt, Mrs. Susie Palmondon, was drowned. The police were compelled to fight back the crowd of thousands who rushed to the dock to seek friends and relatives. In the crowd the -police arrested two alleged pickpockets who were reaping a harvest from the pockets of the mourners. Heart melting scenes were enacted in a dozen different morgues in the neighborhood of the docks. Thousands flocked to these places and when some man or woman found a friend or a relative there was hysterical laughter, weeping and railing such as has not been witnessed in Chicago since the Iroquois fire. GRIEF STRICKEN Continued From Page One. other victims. At 8:30 o'clock, fifty minutes after the disaster occurred fifty bodies of men, women, girls in their teens and small children had been taken out. As more bodies were removed and ambulances and fire department apparatus proved inadequate to remove the dead and injured, policemen commandeered scores of private automobiles and pressed many wealthy business men into service as chaffeurs in removing drowned and neary drowned women and girls to the hospitals. The streets leading from the docks were the scene of a constantly moving procession of automobiles. The holiday dress of the rescued, ribbons and fluffy garments of the women, white trousers and hats of the men, made a sorry spectacle, drenched with water. U. S. AWAITS Continued From Page One. States. "Friendship itself prompts it (the United States) to say to the imperial German government that repetition by commanders of German naval vessels of acts in contravention of those rights must be regarded by the government of the United States, when they affect American citizens, as deliberately unfriendly," reads the concluding and probably the most momentous paragraph of the American reply. In the final revision of the note the words it is understood the words "deliberately unfriendly" were inserted in lieu of "unfriendly act," as originally written. The vigor of the warning, however, is not construed to have been changed by the substitution. The general tenor of the note is as forecast. Satisfaction is felt in official circles here that all through the note Germany is assured this government desires to maintain friendly relations, but these relations can not be continued at the sacrifice of principles and American lives. Without directly informing Germany that further correspondence on 'the subject is fruitless, the note clearly indicates that the acts of Germany will be the guide of the United States in determining her real attitude in the present crisis.

NUMEROUS MISHAPS

INCREASE NECESSITY FOR TRAFFIC RULES The Increasing number of accidents on Main street during the last few days has caused the police to repeat their demand for an ordinance which will give them power to regulate traffic which is so congested of afternoons that collisions and mishaps are almost unavoidable. Chief Goodwin today said the de partment was doing the best it could with the limited number of patrolmen at its disposal during the day when iramc is neaviest. The chief has written to Indianapolis for conies of the ordinance recently passed in that city ana nopes to have many of its features embodied in the measure which council is considering. One of the clauses which Chief Goodwin will demand in the new ordi nance will be a prohibition of parking on Main street between Fourth and Eleventh street. With cars lining both sides of the street, the chief declared too narrow a passway was left for moving vehicles which are in constant danger of colliding or being strucK Dy tne city cars.

"Illegal and inhuman acts, however justifiable they may be thought io be against an enemy who is believed to have acted in contravention of law and humanity, are manifestly indefensible when they deprive neutrals of their acknowledged rights, particularly when they violate the right to life itself. If a belligerent can not retaliate against an enemy without injuring the lives of neutrals, as well as their property, humanity, as well as justice and a due regard for the dignity of neutral powers, 6hould dictate that the practice be discontinued. "If persisted in, it would in such circumstances constitute an unpardonable offense against the sovereignty of the neutral nation affected. The government of the United States is not unmindful of the extraordinary conditions created by this war or of the radical alterations of circumstances and method of attack produced by the use of instrumentalities of naval warfare which the nations of the world can not have had in view when the existing rules of international law were formulated, and it is ready to make every reasonable allowance for these novel and unexpected aspects of war at sea; but it can not consent to abate any essential or fundamental right of its people beBRIEFS 1 NOTICE.

"The rights of neutrals in time of war are based upon principle, not upon expediency, and the principles are immutable. It Is the duty and obligation of belligerents to find a way to adapt the new circumstances to them. The events of the last two months have clearly Indicated that it is pos sible and practicable to conduct such submarine operations as have characterized the activity of the imperial German navy within the so-called war zone in substantial accord with the accepted practices of regulated warfare. The whole world has looked with interest and increasing satisfaction at the demonstration of that possibility by German naval commanders. "It Is manifestly possible, therefore, to lift the whole practice of submarine attack above the criticism which it has aroused and remove the chief causes of offense. Expects Disavowal by Germany. 'In view of the admission of illegality made by the imperial German government when it pleaded the right of retaliation in defense of its acts, and in view of the manifest possibility of conforming to the established rules of naval warfare, the government of the United States can not beliere that the imperial government will longer refrain from disavowing the wanton act of its naval commander in sinking the Lusitania or from offering reparation for the American lives lost, so far as reparation can be made for a needless destruction of human life by an illegal act. "The government of the United while not indifferent to the friendly spirit in which it is made, can not accept the suggestion of the imperial German government that certain vessels be designated and agreed upon which shall be free on the seats now illegally proscribed. The very agreement would by implication subject other vessels to illegal attack and would be a curtailment and therefore an abandonment of the principles for which this government contends and

which in times of calmer counsels ev err nation would concede as of course. - The government of the United and the imperial German government are contending for the same great object, have long stood together in urg ing the very principles upon which the government or the United States now solemnly insists. They are both contending for th freedom of the seas. The government of the United States will continue to contend for that freedom, from whatever quarter violated, without compromise and at any cost. II invites the practical co-operation ol the imperial - German government at this time, when cooperation may accomplish most, and this great common object ' be ' most strikingly and effectively achieved. v The imperial German government expresses the hope that this object may be in some measure accomplished even before the present war ends. It can be. The government of the United States not only feels obliged to insist upon it, by whomsoever violated or ignored. In the protection of its own citizens, but is also deeply interested in seeing it made practicable between the belligerents themselves, and holds itself ready at any time to act as the common friend who may be privileged to suggest a way. Regarded as Unfriendly. "In the meantime the very value which this government sets upon the long and unbroken friendship between the people and government of the United States and the people and government of the German nation impels it to press very solemnly upon the imperial German government the necessity for a scrupulous observance of neutral rights in this critical matter. Friendship itself prompts it to say to the imperial government that repitition by the commanders of German naval vessels of acts in contravention of these rights must be regarded by the government of the United States, when they affect American citizens, as deliberately unfriendly.
