The total expense amounted to $235.75, which is the largest amount spent by any candidate who has filed a statement with the county clerk. When asked what was meant by a "graduated beggar," Mr. Parsons explained that he meant a man who had graduated from the school of beggary, and had become a proficient beggar. The largest item of expense reported Mr. Parsons is that of $75 for printing of sample ballots. Statement of expenses filed by Howard Horton, Republican nominee for county surveyor, show $25.75. Harry Fisher, Republican nominee for county recorder, spent $45.89 in receiving the nomination, according to his statement. Joshua Allen, Democratic nominee for prosecutor, had no opposition for

his office, and reported today that he had spent nothing. Henry Long, Democratic nominee for county recorder, reported an expenditure of $30.42.

LEAGUE CLUBS MEET.

Directors .of the Industrial Indoor baseball circuit that is to start its schedule with games played at the Coliseum some time next week, will meet at the Y. M. C. A. tonight at 7:30 o'clock. Representatives from the Starr Piano, American Seeding, National Automatic, Advance Hill, Westcott Motor and Pennsy are expected to be present.

All residents of Byers, Kas., have united in a pledge not to drink, smoke or chew for one year. It is suspected that this year's crop of cheerful liars in this town is going to be a record-breaker.

CITY WILL USE SUBSTITUTE FOR

EXPENSIVE OIL

If property owners desire to have streets in front of their homes treated

this year by some bituminous material instead of oil, the city will do the

work for them.

"The price of oil having increased

approximately 100 per cent since last

year" Board President Bavis said today "suggests the advisability of a

heavier application of a bituminous

material instead of oil which can be

done at a small additional cost. A bituminous material once applied would be good for three years if not longer, removing the annual inconvenience of securing signers to petitions. Such a material would be as effectively dustproof as oil, would do away with the nuisance of tracking oil into homes, prolong the life of the street so treated and extend the date for permanent improvement. In my judgment, the treatment of streets with a bituminous material would be much cheaper in the end than the present process of

oiling."

Last year the city purchased oil for 2.97 cents per galon. This year the price is 5.5 cents. A bituminous material can be ap

plied to streets at a cost ranging from

7 to 10 cents per square yard. It will

cost approximately 5 cents per square yard to put oil on streets this year.

Petitions for having oil or bitumi

nous fluid placed on street must be filed with the board on or before April 17. The cost of the work must be paid when the petitions are filed. Estimates of cost for each proposed improvement will be furnished when blank petitions are applied for.

TEMPER SENDS MAN BEHIND BARS AGAIN

er

Because of his uncontrollable temp-

William Lewis, an aged colored

man, will probably have to go back to

the Michigan City Penitentiary to spend the remainder of his days. As Lewis has tuberculosis he probably will not have long to live after he goes behind the grim prison walls

again.

Lewis, who was released on parole

last August, made a vicious attack

upon Martin L. Rowe in the Mather Brothers coal yard yesterday, attempt

ing to strike him with a sledge ham

mer.

About three yeans ago Lewis, while working in a sewer, trench, became

involved in a quarrel with a fellow workman, Joe Dickey, colored. He struck Dickey over the head with a shovel, killing him. Yesterday Martin L. Rowe, yard master, reproved him for not doing his work as he had been instructed. It is stated that Lewis seized a sledge hammer and pursued Rowe about the coal yard. Rowe succeeded in getting into the office before Lewis could hit him. A few minutes later Lewis entered the office sobbing his repentance. However, he was arrested on a charge of assault and the prison officials have been notified of his parole violation.

NO REPORTS NECESSARY.

INDIANAPOLIS, March 17. Expectancy that the public service commission would render a decision without delay in the petition of the Richmond Light, Heat and Power company to increase rates for gas service in Richmond has failed to materialize, and at present, according to the opinion of commissioners, there is every possibility the commission will not render any decision in the case. Recently City Attorney Bond conferred with the commission, and during the conference the question of gas rates was broached, according to

one of the commissioners. At that conference, Bond offered, the suggestion that officials of the company and city officials might come to an understanding satisfactory to the patrons

of the gas company if they were not hampered by persons who Insisted upon connecting themselves with the case, regardless of their knowledge of it. "As far as I know concerning that case, there has been no information presented to the public service commission which would result in the commission reaching a decision," said one of the commissioners. "It is the understanding at present that the city and the company will reach an agreement and that as a result of this agreement rates will be fixed which will be satisfactory during this emergency. Following the fixing of this agreement, it is expected a petition will be filed and rates fixed permanently." If city officials of Richmond agree this is the status of the case, it is not expected there will be any further developments before the public service commission. If it is necessary to i

evaluate the plant of the company to fix the rates for gas, it probably will be some time before this can be ac

complished because the commission engineers are now worrying over one of the largest utilities in Indianapolis and have several other problems recorded for them when the Indianapolis question has been settled. City Stands Pat. City officials will be perfectly satisfied if the state commission renders no decision in the Richmond natural gas rates case. City officials and citizens are perfectly satisfied with existing rates. The board of public works has also announced that the city will not seek to negotiate a compromise schedule of rates with the company. That will be left to the commission and the city will insist that a valuation of the company's properties be established before any rate adjustments are attempted.

COLLINS GAINS HIGHER PLAGE WITH PENNSY

John Collins, former Richmond boy,

who began his railroad career in the

Richmond division freight offices of the Pennsylvania, has won another promotion according to word received here by John J. Harrington, Jr., his brother-in-law.

Guy McCabe, also a former Richmond man under whom Collins had his first railroad position, has been transferred from the position of general western freight agent In Chicago to a high position in the Pittsburgh office.

When Mr. Clapp was appointed to succeed McCabe, he promoted Collins as his chief clerk.

Mr. Collins married Miss Mary Harrington, daughter of John J. Harrington, Sr., of Richmond.

DAVIS AUTO COMPANY MAKES RAPID GROWTH

Attention has been called to the steadily increasing business of the

Davis Motor Car company.

This company, which was established in 1902 by George W. Davis, its president, has now reached a point

where it can be classed among the leading automobile manufacturers in the United States. In fact, besides having a great quantity of sub-dealers in all the cities throughout our country they are represented by general distributors in the principal centers, as Omaha, Minneapolis, Chicago, St. Louis, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Indianapolis, Columbus, O., Springfield, III.. Pittsburgh, New York, Philadelphia, Buffalo, Rochester, Providence and Cleveland. Set High Standard. Wherever you go, you can find the Davis cars which are keeping high the standard of the reputation for quality and distinction. The demand for such a beautiful car has grown to such an extent that the Davis Motor Car company has been obliged to make special arrangements and to double its production in order to be able to meet same. In fact, not only are the Davis cars well known in the United States, but are also advertising the wonderful ingenuity of American manufacturers throughout the entire world. During the last part of 1915 the attention of the Davis people, who are always alert for business, was called

to the wonderful opportunity they

would have to establish themselves abroad and they decided to open an

export department. Being new to such kind of business they did not hesitate to engage the services of Mr. Xavier Chichon de Nice, a native of Paris, France, formerly world traveling representative of the Prussian National Company of Stettin, Germany, and
