Thirty days option at a purchase price of $400,000 was secured today by J. H. Milts, chairman of the special factory committee of the Commercial club, for all the real estate of the M. Rumely company located in Richmond. Definite agreement was entered into this morning after a confer, ence with Finley Mount, president of the company, and M. ' R. D. Owing, vice president. ; As a result of the purchase of the buildings and grounds, the commercial club hat also entered Into an agreement with the United States Refrigerator company, of Peru, Ind., which intends to move its factory to this city. The company intends to begin operations, starting with two hundred men, within the next ninety days. The company expects to have an output at the start of $150,000. The Commercial club, which holds the option on the property through the committee, composed of J. H. Mills, chairman, Ira Wood and Lewis . 1 1 iff , expects to sell : the ' buildings to other factories. Several local companies have already negotiated for thebuilding's and ' the ' committee believes that by fall, all of the buildings will be occupied by factories. The deals consummated today -close negotiations that have been . pending , for : more than ' "year.. fTht M. Rumeljr company, last.. -tyeafheld" oul for" $350)00 as the price for the local property. The local .committee had been in al- ' most constant session for the past three or four weeks in an effort to reach an agreement with the company. Finley Mount informed local men that the property would not be sold separately and for this reason a proposition was submitted on the entire property. The United Refrigerator com

pany is one of the largest and most prosperous factories in Peru. The officials believed that the shipping facilities and labor conditions here were more advantageous and for that reason closed the deal for the local factory buildings. The company will occupy all the buildings north of F street and west of the railroad switch. The Commercial club will probably hold the tractor building, in which the automobile show was '' held, for civic purposes. Because of Its adaptability for horse and live stock sales and automobile shows, the committee will recom

mend that it be retained for these purposes. The United Refrigerator company, according to the officials who have been in conference with J. H. Mills, expects to increase its output as soon as they get established here. They intend to start with 200 men, employ 350 within a year and 500 within two years. A deal has practically been closed with a local company for the triangular building west of the F. & N. lawnmower company. The name of the company, however, has not been announced by the committee.

WILSON WAITS

FOR GERARD'S COMMUNICATION

WASHINGTON, March 31 President Wilson and his cabinet again today discussed the submarine question at length. In the absence of an official report from Ambassador Gerard, no decisive action was agreed on. It is understood that word has reached Washington that - Germany has furnished certain information to the ambassador dealing with the report that her submarines again "have been running amuck" against merchant vessels both armed and unarmed. This information now on the way by cable, is understood to defend the sinking of certain of the vessels attacked as having been warranted by their refusal to stop on signal.

. Harry Hickman, aged .19, just re

turned from seven months service In

the trencnes with the English rmy in France, came to Richmond today -from his home in Cambridge City and made

application for enlistment In the

United States army. He will be ac

cepted, Sergeant Bond stated, provided

his discharge papers from the English

army are found to be satisfactory and

he passes the medical examination. "They tell me the United States is

goin' to fight these here Japans, and I want to be in my own army to help right 'em. I also want to try my hand on this here Villa. He can't show me no tricks," the youngster informed Sergeant Bond. The boy is the son of William Hickman of Cambridge City. He ran away from home last July, worked his way to Erfgland on a cattle boat and on the day he arrived In Liverpool enlisted in the Nineteenth Welsh infantry. He served a month in a training camp and seven months in the trenches. He was twice wounded slightly.

BRIDGE PLANS MADE

Flans and specifications for the Dalton and Ellebarger bridge have been completed by County Surveyor Peacock and the county commissioners will let the contract for both bridges on April 22. The Dalton bridge, which is over Nettle Creek, will be built of iron so that it can be easily removed from the foundation when it is necessary to redredge the creek. The Ellebarger bridge, which is located five miles northwest of Cambridge City, will be a concrete structure.

NIGHT ATTACK FORCES FRENCH OUT OF TOWN; 560,000 IN DRIVE PARIS, March 31. In a night attack the Germans captured Halancourt, the French war office announced today. The assault was deliver-

ed upon three sides of the village. The French retired but still held a position on the outskirts of Malancourt proper, which is now a mass of ruins. Malancourt is about six and one-half miles northwest of Verdun on the west side of the Meuse. It is about a mile and one-half west of Bethinccurt. The Halancourt-Bethincourt linerepresented the apex of a salient which the French maintained in the German front, despite the violent attack of the crown prince west of the Meuse. The infantry assault on Malancourt was preceded by a violent bonv bardment. Beginning yesterday, the German artillery increased it3 cannonade. As the troops advanced the rain of the German cannon- was lengthened and they opened up a curtain of fire behind the front ranks. The Germans lost heavily, and the French, rather than incur needless sacrifices, voluntarily evacuated the village. It is now definitely known that the kaiser is employing at least twenty-eight divisions (560,000 "( - on the Verdun front. ; Thirty thousand Teutons took part in the night assaults against Avocourt block house, rolling forward in wave and wave in the ghostly glare of the star bombs which the Germans hurled against the sky by the thousands.

"The Germans have -got every one of their. enenUesJjxJicd except the English and tbey gotta go some. to beat the English," Hickman said. "The EngMslj and Germans are both getting mighty. tired of the war and if , the soldiers of both armies had their way they would quit fighting right away.'

MUNGIE AROUSED DRYS IN FEAR OF ATTACKS

MUNCIE, Ind., March 31. Muncle today resembled an armed camp. One hundred deputy sheriffs and both the night and day police forces are patroling business houses to prevent assault upon "dry" workers circulating remonstrances against the return of saloons to the city. This action was taken at the suggestion of Governor Ralston, after Frank Whitney, a prominent "dry" was murderously assaulted last night as he was leaving the police station, and the home of Wilbur Ryman, a "dry" attorney, had been dynaminted Tuesday night. Minor assaults were also committeed. The "wet organization is co-operating ;n an effort to suppress lawlessness. Muu cie recently voted for the return of saloons by a narrow margin of 79.
