BY FRANK DUNING Moth-eaten football togs with the clay of the 1915 campaign still clinging to them, arnica, head-gears, cleated shoes, jerseys and the rest of the gridiron paraphernalia came back into their own in the football camp of Earlham last night when the '16 gridiron season officially opened with a turn-out of some thirty-five prospective in harness. Reld Field, the historic battleground of the Quakers, immediately took on the appearance of a mobilization camp "somewhere south." Coach Whiteside, as general field organizer did not let the men tarry long but had them after the pig6kin in less time than it takes to narrate the event. . Season Opens Early. Earlham opens its season with the Wittenberg game at Richmond, September 30. With a scant two weeks to get in shape for the opening skirmish, work, and work of the hardest kind will be necessary every day from now on 'til that time in the opinion of Coach Whiteside. Last night's initial turn-out was a big and prosperous looking one. At least seven of the veterans of the '15 combine with a goodly number of

Richmond coal dealers are not exactly weeping over the commission's gas rate ruling. The announcement of the increase in gas rates proved to be a signal for a general demand for increased coal orders. Many people who have been using gas in their grates and furnaces are now arranging to use coal during the winter. "In a day or two I will have a statement to make in which I win analyze the new gas rate schTaTe,' City Attorney Bond 6aid today. "I will show that the only people who will get cheaper gas rates under the new schedule will be those who consume 25,000 or more cubic feet per month. The first four classifications of con' sinners, the so-called 'small consumer,' using up to 5,000 feet per month, get it in the neck. "These classifications of consumers represent ninety-five per cent of the gas company's patrons. It will soon be decided whether the city will take an appeal of the gas order to the courts. We will do everything possible to protect the citizens in this matter.' Johnson Is Surprised. City officials were asserting today that even N. H. Johnson, manager of the Light, Heat and Power company was astonished at the high rates es tablished by the state commission They say that a day or two before the order was made public Johnson, while at the city hall, offered to bet that a gas rate with a 65 cent minimum would be established. He had just returned from a trip to Indianapolis. Hearing Johnson's statement Presi dent Bavis of the board of public works communicated with Chairman Duncan of the state commission over the long distance telephone and he told him of the bet Johnson had offered to make. "Take all bets that the gas rate minimum will not be 65 cents," was the reply made by Chair man Duncan, according to city officials. It is quite possible that at that time the commission had decided on a seventy cent minimum rate schedule. Perhaps the chairman enjoyed his quiet little joke. CIVIC LETHARGY Continued From Page One. Chamber of Commerce already has been received and he will be the leading speaker. Hundreds of citizens received invitations to the dinner today and shortly the first acceptances arrived in the form of telephone messages. Dinner Arouses Enthusiasm. Chairman Lontz saw the dinner as the means of impressing upon citizens the opportunities presenting them selves to Richmond, In a talk to his committee yesterday. "Richmond is In need of a great civic awakening," said Mr. Lontz. "We are apparently all too well satisfied with our city, and we do not realize what is going on elsewhere. Our city is not making the progress that it should. It is standing still, and the time is ripe for a movement that will start Richmond on a new era of progress. "This should be a big industrial city, but little has been done to bring this about, while all around ns we have been watching the industrial expansion of other cities. "I hope that our entire citizenship will enter Into this campaign in that spirit that makes greater cities. The industrial work of the next five years is going to depend upon this campaign. If it is a big success, Richmond will go forward not only Industrially, but in every other respect. If it should not be a complete success, we cannot expect much progress."

BELIEVES J. G, EVANS WOULD COMPROMISE SUIT AGAINST CITY

To clear up one of the greatest obstacles in the way of a $185,000 appropriation for the South G street bridge, a compromise might be brought about between the city of Richmond and Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan C. Evans over an appeal from the awards of the Board of Works now pending in the circuit court. Harry Evans, a son, said last night that it was his opinion that his parents would compromise. The Board of Works awarded damages to the Evans family to the amount of $200. The appeal calls for $2,000. The G 6treet bridge would run between the . house and barn of the property in question, which is located on the west bank of the Whitewater river. - , About 25 years ago when the Evansville railroad was laying out a right-of-way, it had planned a bridge on the same site as the new G street bridge. An action in circuit court then insulted in setting damages at $l,0i. They were never paid because the railroad failed to materialize. 3,755 PUPILS Continued From Page One. in the history of the city public schools.

It will be pointed out that at times it is almost impossible to get across Main street at the Eighth sreet crossing because of traffic congestions. It will also be pointed out that the interurban traffic on Main street constantly endangers the lives of citizens. A South G street bridge is the only remedy, the south siders will plead. It will be proposed that since the South G street bridge is planned so it will bear interurban traffic, that all inter urban cars be forced to come over that structure. The cars would' then have to come up to the station over south side streets. Arguments of South Side. It will also be pointed out that many people who come to town from the southwest part of the county would come over the South side bridge, and would park their means of conveyance before they ever go on Main street. This also would help relieve the congestion. It will be necessary for Bockhoff to prove that no emergency exists and that a south side bridge would not relieve the congestion. In order that the South Side bridge appropriation may be submitted to the county council at an emergency session, It will be necessary that the commissioners be first convinced that an emergency exists. The commissioners will then have the appropriation advertised and Auditor Bowman will call for the special session. Little difficulty is expected by the Improvement Association in getting the commissioners to advertise the appropriation.

PARIS, Sept 12. Repulse of a German attack south of the Somme river and a slight success for the French troops operating there are reported to day. BECK FINDS ROUTES IN EXCELLENT SHAPE " Postmaster Beck completed his report on' his examination of rural routes today and sought reporters to announce a reversal of opinion. "Say the farmers and other - rural route patrons have cooperated to make the service out of here the best in the United States," said Postmaster Beck. "Conditions at more than 75 per cent of the delivery stops are excellent Less than 25 per cent of the patrons have not made improvements, among them a few dilatory ones who have been warned." Grouping of mall boxes has become a study for the postmaster he said. Many big groups have been formed without inconveniencing patrons but enabling carriers to serve many with a single stop. He is seeking to bring the grouping plan to an average of two boxes for every stop which would cut stopping time in half, he said. "Not only have I found the highways excellent, but I was pleased to find the approaches to mail boxes graveled in many cases," 6aid the postmaster. "I would like to thank each farmer personally." Edward Francis asked to be Jailed in Philadelphia the other day on the ground that he felt an uncontrollable desire to steal something. JOHN DAUBT.
