DUOA'S FATE SAY DIPLOMATS

' WASHINGTON, Sept. 7. Secretary Laaslhg most decide, wfceiher Dr. Constantlne Dumba the Austrian ambassador, violated diplomatie-ethies In hto efforts to cripple...Amerlcan-, munition plants. President Wilson. it was said at the white house today, has? placed the case in his secretary of state's hand, with full authority to dispose of It Officials who are familiar with the entire situation say that they are convinced that no was violated by any of the acts of the ambassador so far disclosed. The matter Is one for diplomatic handling rather than for. the courts, they say. , ..- . The chief question; involved Is .that of dual citizenship. 'At the Austrian embassy it was said that no public statement would be" made until after-j Dr. Dumba had held his conference with Secretary Lansing. The embassy officials insisted that they were satisfled that the entire matter easily can be explained by the ambassador. The letters which were taken from War Correspondent Archibald by the British officials merely show, the embassy claims, that the ambassador . was working for the best interests -of his government. Complete copies" of every letter sent by Archibald will be furnished Secretary Lansing. 'the Austrian attache had explained. FOSTER MACADAM ROADS IN WAYNE COUNTY ""For on-h'alf the amount .6f money Wayne county can build roads, which will give twice the amount of service that the macadam roads which have 'been built the last five years have given." said H. C. Poster, a local road contractor. "Roads have not' en built right-in liVayne county, and it is not the fault of the contractors, but it is the fault of the persons preparing tbe specifications," he said. He said that practically all the road contractors are opposed to the practice 6t the commissioners in appointing some farmer to supervise road construction. He said that when the county pays from $12,000 to 15,000 a mile for macadam road improvement, the 'taxpayers are entitled to expert road supervision. Although Mr, Foster has built some of the roads in-the county which he now condemns, he says that It is useless for the county to pay $15,000 a mile for macadam road improvement. In ; the construction of several roads in the county, better foundations have keen torn up than have been put in their places, be said. This is tbe result of the specifications and is a foolish expenditure of the county's money, he said. NATIONAL ROAD EAST IN NEED OF REPAIR AFTER FIRST YEAR Although the road has. only been open one year, County Road Supervisor Jones will begin work on repairing the National road, east. ' This is one vof the types of roads that is giving'the road superintendent much trouble. The road was built at an expense of approximately $15,000 a mile, and in many places tbe surface material has been washed off leaving the rough macadam base, it will be necessary for the road superintendent to place finely screened crushed rock on top and roll this with a steam roller. A petition has been received by the commissioner asking for. the county to take, over the road front-Richmond to Chester. lt is probable " that this road will be accepted next Saturday ind placed "under the supervision of Mr. Jones. Practically no attention tkas been given to this road by the township, and it is in bad condition. GRAND JURY ORDERED TO PROBE MURDER The grand Jury has been called by fudge Fox and the prosecuting attorney to convehe next Monday. The first thing to be taHen up by, the Jury is the Investigation- into the murder of Eugene Coleman, by his step-father Michael Coleman." Coleman is now at the couny Jail charged with first degree murder. The grand Jury will be In tession for several days, according to Prosecutor Reller. HATT REPEATS REPORTS Professdr Hatt, bridge engineer of Purdue university, this ' afternoon went over the report prepared by the special commission of engineers on the condition of the Main street bridge with the county council. Members of the council Inquired minutely Into every phase of the report and particularly Into those part which lealt with reasons for the present tondltiqa of the structure, nearly all f which information f has been brought out by various persons whd tare examined the bridge.

OMITS CENTENNIAL

When council meets this evening It will act upon a 1916 budget ordinance which 'contains no appropriation for the Celebration -of the one huhdredth anniversary of the founding of the city which occurs next year. . Last spring in a message to council Mayor Robbins urged that the city ocoperate in an appropriate observance Of the city's centennial and council, at its meeting on April 5, passed a resolution indorsing the undertaking of such a prdject and instructing the mayor to appoint a commission of citizens to arrange for the celebration, which the mayor did a short time later. Before council passed this resolution several members of that body suggested that It would be advisable for the city to contribute liberally to a fund to meet the expenses of such a celebration and it was the understanding that this should be.'donfe when the resolution was passed. , f Several city officials, including councilmen, -when asked recently why no provision had been made in the tenta

EXPECT NO BRIDGE APPROPRIATION AT THIS SESSION OF COUNTY COUNCIL

"There is very little probability of the county council making an appropriation at - this session for. , a new Main Btreet bridge," said Lee B. Nusbaum, president of the- council this afternoon following a meeting .of the council in which the bridge question was discussed. . , "The" members Of the " council feel that there is not sufficient data on hand at the' present time to make a wise appropriation," he. continued. "An appropriation has already been made fqr a temporary structure and this will relieve the situation temporarily." Other members of the board expressed similar opinions, ; "It would be necessary to have additional data on what kind of a bridge would be advisable: before an appropriation should be made," said President Nusbaum. "It would be useless

In the event council does not ameni the ordinance this evening to provide for such an appropriation it is quite possible that the centennial commission will decide to abandon all plans for the celebration of the event. . Richmond is one of the oldest cities in the state and caustic remarks were heard today when it became generally known that the city officials had been so lacking in civic pride and public spiritedness as to fail to give financial encouragement to any plan for an observance of the centennial. "If the city officials are so parsimonious that tey..will!nptvc9r4fvibute a part of the fund to defray the expenses of celebrating such an important event lp the history of Richmond then it would not be fair to ask the citizens to contribute to tfuch a. fund,", one of the 'Centennial commissioners' said today. to make an appropriation and then find that this would not meet the conditions."

THROUGH PROPOSAL OF COMPROMISE

. Proposal of J a compromise, plan, It is hoped by the Commercial" club directors. ' may result in an immediate reduction of Insurance rates on mercantile , risks, pending a re-survey of the city by tne Seller's rating bureau. ' Tbe club will suggest that Richmond's business district be placed in Class- No. - 2, and that back charges be made to offset the shortage of five men in the fire department, which the bureau demanded before agreeing to cut the rates. This would mean that until a survey for establishing, rates had been made, merchants would , receive a reduction of approximately six per cent, on rates Instead of the full 13 per cent., which would be allowed MifcfiJJiaj,JSatered JlncJass No. 2. . This plan was tried in Indianapolis, but failure of the city to. carry out promises, caused difficulties. Niobe At

WHO PAYS RENTAL OF FIRE HYDRANTS ? BOCKHOFF INQUIRES Who shall. pay for rental of a fire hydrant which protects the National Automatic Tool company? This question was propounded to the directors of the Commercial club last night by William Bockhoff, president of the concern. ; When the factory was located, in Beallview it was promised Are pro tection and the hydrant placed outside the city limits. Under, existing laws, the municipality can not pay the rental, and the public service commission has notified the water works corporation that it must collect on the hydrant, as not to do so would constitute1 discrimination. To add to Mr. Bockhoff 's troubles, other factories which are protected by the same" plug refuse to share the rental. 4,000 BOOKS IN, LIBRARY. ELKHART, Ind., Sept. 7.

RATE REDUCTION The club advanced- its proposal in the hope that business men might derive some benefit from the Improvements in ire prevention which have been made. In the last five years. Not long since the bureau offered to rate Richmond in class No. 2 Vs. The survey, which would have followed the acceptance of this offer, would have cost the bureau $4,000. This expendi ture would have made hopeless any attempt soon to have the city advanced to class No. 2, so the offer was re fused by the club. Pending employ ment of five additional ; firemen to meet the demands of the bureau be fore placing the city in the second class the board, hopes to effect a com promise Which' will result In a partial reduction of rates and at the same time save the bureau the cost of a survey untiHater." - Murray CASES ARE SET The case of the state against Sullivan and King, proprietors of a local cigar store, will be heard in circuit court Thursday morning.

In event the coxmty commissionen decide to tear down the present Mala street bridge, the steel stringers will be used In the construction of the temporary bridge, reducing the total cost of the structure about $3,000. Because of this , fact, the commis sioners will not be able to let the contract for the temporary bridge, as was advertised last week. Their action 'will depend oil the action ot the county council In ' making an appro priation for the new bridge. 1 A Seismograph invented a Japanese scienstist registers the -velocity of all earthquakes 200 fold.
