LOOAL BflfMS BEJI8I J ' 17AR LOAN OVERTURES
Inviting participation in the halfbillion dollar joint Anglo-French fiveyear bonds scon to be issued to secure the credit loan of Great Britain and France, offers from Chicago banking and investment houses were received yesterday and today by the First, Second and Union National banks and the Dickinson Trust company. All local banks declined to ' assume any part of the loan. The offers received varied but in the main, the price of ' participation was offered at 96 with privilege of withdrawal at 96. The selling price will be 98 to the public and the banks figuring in the loan will receive deposits equal to the amount . of their participation. The withdrawal of participants relieves them of further liability.
The condition Involving withdrawal of participants, is viewed in local banking circles as the extent of the desperate efforts to float the loan without loss of time. No consideration was given by of
ficials of Richmond banks as to the advisability of accepting the offers, as far as could be learned. All proposals were" unhesitatingly declined. Officials of the Richmond banks de
clared that as their reason for their
non-participation the statements that they preferred to lend the money at home. Offers were made to A. - D.
Gayle of the First National in eight telegrams and three long distance telephone calls and telegrams were also received by all the other banks
in the city.
CONSTRUCTION TIME CONSIDERED IN BIDS FOR RELIEF BRIDGE
NO FALSE ALARM;
RICH WILL SHAVE
Howell Rich, Richmond's barber.
auto hack owner and commission merchant, returned to the city today and
appeared at the sheriff's office to
answer to a summons to appear in
circuit court. Two automobiles and all barber shop apparatus belonging to Rich have been attached by the sheriff. One of the automobiles waB ccld by the sheriff yesterday to pay part of the claims filed against the
man while he was out of the city.
"They told me you shaved off your
whiskers," said Sheriff Steen when
Rich walked in his office this after
noon.
"No, I haven't yet," said Rich, "but
I am going to. People tell me I look
like the d 1 with them on and I am beginning to believe it myself. I never saw the devil but I know about
how he looks."
Several out of town contractors as well as the local bridge contractors' are expected to submit bids for the construction of the temporary bridge
at Main street. The county commiss
ioners will open the bids at 11 o'clock Monday morning. An appropriation of $6,500 was made by the county council a month ago. According to the estimates of the county bridge engineer, the total cost of the bridge will not exceed this amount. The Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern traction company has agreed to pay one third of the original cost of the construction in addition to. the expense of re-inforcing the structure underneath the tracks. The bridge engineer estimates that under this arrangement the traction company will have to pay more than the county because of the grading required in their work as well as the laying of the tracks. The contractors have been asked to include in their bids the length of I.' me necessary to build the structure and this will be taken into consideration in letting the contract. The commissioners are anxious to have the
work begin as soon as possible be
cause of the congestion of traffic on the Doran bridge. At the last meeting of the commissioners the necessity of giving relief to the situation immediately was discussed.

PRISONERS WAtlTICG AUDIENCE DY STEEN : USE SAKE FORMULA
"Tell Al I want to see him." . These are the exact words always used by prisoners at the county Jail when they decide to "reform. Turnkey Morgan-said today that in nine cases out of ten, prisoners at the county jail, who have been placed in
the so-called "dog house," which means solitary confinement for a time
denned entirely . by the sheriff, use these words when they want to be released. The turnkey then reports to Al Steen, the sheriff, that the prisoner, who has been living . on bread and water for a certain length of time, has stated his belief that he can live a
straightforward life if he is released
from his lone confinement.
. If the sheriff takes pity on him, he
volunteers to talk with him and upon
a promise never to break the rules of
the jail again, the prisoner is released. There is nothing around the jail
feared more by the prisoners than the "dog house." Whenever a prisoner
escapes from the custody of any of
the "trusties" while doing work for the sheriff, he is hurried into solitary confinement for as long a time as the sheriff believes is necessary for a complete . repentence. Earnest Kelly,
who was sent to jail for public in
toxication, is now one of Steen's star
boarders on the bread and water diet
Under normal conditions arsenic is supplied as a byproduct of the smelter,
and the immense deposits of this country are drawn on only when high
prices prevail.

GLASS IN ENGLISH FEARS TEMPTATION
Fear that the saloon will present a temptation which they may not have the courage to withstand has led representative Italians and foreigners to express a preference for Whitewater school instead of the high school or Y. M. C. A. building in which to hold classes for the study of the English language. "We start home, see saloon, go In, drink, get drunk. Then there big fight, police pull and big trouble on hands. We lika Whitewater school." Tonight will be the first assembling of the foreigners in Whitewater school building and will be utilized, only, for a full explanation of what the work will consist. If necessary an interpreter will talk to them and advise them as to the course of study to be taught.
