REFUSES TO RETRACT

. WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. Attorney

General Gregory has definitely decid

ed to make no reply to the demand of

the Austrian government that the de

partment of justice retract its state

ment mentioning the name of Austrian Consul von Nuber in plots against munition plants. It was stated at the department of Justice that it could not in good faith make such retraction.

LONDON, Jan. 6. In spite of hitter opposition in the house of commons against the military service hill, providing modified conscription, government leaders declared today that its immediate passage would be pressed and .predicted that it -would be upon the statute books by February 1. . -While Ireland was excluded from the workings of the measure the bill will be opposed by the Irish nationalists, under the leadership of John Redmond. This will weaken the position of the government, which has worked in coalition with the nationalists in

the past and there will be further loss

of strength -through the antagonism

of the laborites. But the government hopes to secure support from the un

ionists to make up the defection.

HELP WASH DISHES, MAYOR TELLS KELLY

Tim Kelly, a man whose only fail

ing is an appetite for booze; faced the

mayor again today. It was bis second

appearance since a time, about two

months ago when he promised to leave Richmond and cut out forever the cup that cheers. Christmas morning he was released as a yuletide gift. "Tim, you have your choice, the county jail or the penal farm," said the mayor today. "Don't send me to that farm," quickly replied Tim. "One hundred dollars and costs and thirty days in the county jail," said the mayor. "You can help Mrs. Steen wash the dishes." A friend" of Kelly's has for some time offered to raise funds for him to take the Keeley cure, but he still has the offer under advisement. Tim knows, also the court, that jail sentences will never cure him of his appetite for booze, but he has little confidence in Keeley cures.

vate collections and from the different grade schools will be opened in the

nated for president of the U. S. at the

convention of the American Protective league at Ottumwa, Iowa, in 1912, has pleaded guilty in the U. S. court here

IISTRICT NO. 11 NEEDS ADDITION

Unless the city - of Richmond includes within the corporation limits territory west of the city In which the Earlham Heights school is located, it is probable that the township advisory board will have tar erect an addition to the - building. Township Trustee Edgerton presented the matter, to, the advisory, board. yesterday. If an Increase In the number of nuoils is made next year, an addition

hwlll be necessary or several classes

must be transferred to the city scnoois. The prospects of the city including within the corporation limits this location, has led the township board to postpone action on this school, known as District No. 11. The high school chases would then be transferred to

the Richmond high school without any expense to the township. The added expense of extending the utilities service this far makes remote the possibility of action on the part of resi

dents in petitioning for incorporation

as a part of the city. COMMERCIAL BODIES

FAVOR PEACE MOVE The Richmond Commercial club, in favoring the recommendations of a committee of the National Chamber of Commerce, was in harmony with the majority of the other commercial bodies in the United States, according to a final report on Referendum No. 11, which created considerable discussion.

William Dudlev Foulke. Dr. D. W. Dennis, Dr.

A. D. Hole and other prominent peace advocates,-opposed the action-of the turn-it nf directors and succeeded in

.convincing the club members that the

recommendations were U. lv.

3 TOWNSHIPS WANT COUNTY SUPERVISION; OF ALL HIGHWAYS

' If petitions to be circulated within the next few months are accepted by the county commissioners there will be three" townships lh " the county where all the roads are "on the county.": - These townships are New Garden,. Harrison and Franklin. By far a large majority of their roads have been taken .over by the "county, and because of the satisfaction the taxpayershave - found - with the county road system, they are .anxious to have all their roads under county supervision as fast as they are brought up to the standard required before the

commissioners will accept them. It , is improbable : that the county commissioners will favor the position taken by several freeholders in New Garden township who asked the commissioners to consider the action taken in accepting a road in that township. : They said that the township trustee was opposed to the movement of giv

ing all the roads to the county, but

upon investigation it has been learned that the township trustee is in favor of the county road system as operated

by Road Superintendent Jones.

The commissioners have found that

practically!, all the opposition to the county road system comes from farm

ers who want the township roads for the purpose of working off a few dollars of road tax; The commissioners explain that the county road system relieves J.he township of five-ninths of the road expense, and as a result.

better roads are built, and the cen

tralized plan affords a better repair

system. - . .
