STATE PROHIBITION MEASURE TO COME BEFORE LEGISLATURE CONTROLLED BY REPUBLICANS

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind Nov. 10. State wide prohibition will be perhaps the tig fight at the coming session of the Indians legislature. The Anti-Saloon League is making preparations to wage a hard fight for such legislation, and officials of that

organization pay they are very opti

mlsUc and they express the belief that

they will be able to put it over in the

legislature. .' " H. S. Shumaker, state superintend

ent of the Anti-Saloon League, said that the temperance . forces will "go to it," and that they will do their best

to make Indiana dry by legislative

enactment. The Anti-Saloon League will take the lead in this effort, and it

will bo the federating force that will lead the temperance people in their fight to drive the liquor business out of the state. In this regard the league will take the same part that it has taken in behalf of prohibition legislation throughout the country. , Will Introduse Bill "It is said that a bill for state wide prohibition will be introduced as soon as the legislature couvrues in . January and that it will be pushed with , vigor.. The Anti-Saloon league forces have made careful estimates of the probable line-up of wet and dry forces in the legislature among the members that have been elected, and they believe they are ou the sate side and that prohibition will win by a safe margin. Who will introduce the prohibition bill is not yet known, but it is - said that the hope is to have the bill make its appearance in some manner that will take all partisan character out of It. The endeavor will be to prevent the fight for prohibition from assumiiys a party aspect, so that members of all parties may support it. The fact that prohibition appears to be sweeping the country surely and steadily is one of' the encouraging feutnres to the Anti-Saloon League workers in Indiana. Michigan, Nebraska, South Dakota and Montana

oil voted themselves dry at the election last Tuesday. Detroit will be the lurEost dry city in tJhe United States. More than 26,000 saloons in the United States were closed in 1915, and 153 breweries were forced to quit business. At the election last Tuesday the voters of Colorado and Oregon voted on referendum propositions to permit the sale of beer in those states. In

work in Richmond,' National VicePresident Lakey of the carpenters' union, has announced. - Mr. Lakey came to Richmond this week to investigate the situation.' Contractors who have ' agreed to employ

nothing but union labor are complaining that the local union cannot furnish enough men and that for this reason: they are no longer bound to abide by their agreements. Mr. Lakey gave union carpenters

orders to work on no Jobs'where nonunion men are employed. The national official said that the -wage scale for carpenters in Richmond is at least seven cents an hour less than it Is in other parts of the state. -

MAKES NO

REPORT

, Grand jury, which has, been Investigating the murder of Charles Rotch, an Italian, by Joe Barbarosa, another Italian,' completed its work this after-

noon, but no announcement was made as to its report in this case, Barbar. osa not yet being In custody. r;.rr f; : 1 - f ' " '" r- ' i." "J i ! Many ostriches in South Africa are hatched in Incubators, v - t

both states the proposition was defeated and the states remain totally dry. Mr. Shumaker points out that when the Hobson bill for an amendment to the Federal constitution for nation wide prohibition was voted on in the

House in Congress less than two years ago there were only nine dry states in the union, but the bill received a mainritv of eieht votes. But inasmuch as

a measure of that kind requires a two-1

thirds vote to carry, it failed to pass. Since that time fourteen states have been added to the dry list, making twenty-five dry states in all. That is, fourteen have already been added and Florida and Utah will be added this winter. The nine dry states were Maine, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Kansas, North Dakota and West Virginia. The Sixteen states that have been or will be added to make up the list of twentyfive are Virginia, South Carolina, Alabama, Arkansas, Iowa, Idaho, Arizona, Washington, Oregon, Michigan, Nebraska. Montana. South Dakota, Colorado, Florida and Utah. - Leaders of the Anti-Saloon League, while they do not assume to claim all the credit for making these states dry, point out that that organization , has taken the lead and has been the federating force that has led the temperance people in their fight in all of the states. The success that they have met with in these states is one of the things that leads them to beleive that they will be successful also in Indiana. Control Both Branches It has developed that the Republi

cans will control coin Drancnes oi the Indiana legislature this winter. At first it was thought that the Democrats would retain control of the senate because of the number of Democratic holdover senators, but his hone faded out. and it is now ap

parent that the Republicans will be In full charge. This will mean that the speaker of the house will be a Republican, and that the president of the

senate will be a KepuDiican, u,agar D. Bush, lieutenant governor-elect. This will be the first time since 1907 that the Republicans have had full control of the state government, including the Governor and both branches of the Legislature.

Just as long as cannons boom in Europe. American people will pay HIGHER PRICES FOR MERCHANDISE. THE GRAND LEADER UNDERSELLS ALL. When the demand for any article exceeds the production there is immediately a scarcity of this article. The war has sent prices gliding skyward because no merchandise is coming over to help American merchants supply their trade. The Grand Leader is one of the really few organizations that anticipated the condition of today and that is why we; can undersell anyone in Richmond. It won't pay you to go elsewhere.

TELEPHONE OFFICE SWAMPED , BY CALLS TO GET RETURNS

Because of the great interest taken in electiou returns, Richmond Home telephone company was literally swamped with business Wednesday and Thursday. ' It was estimated by employes of the company today that at least 2,500 calls were lost yesterday because the automatic boards were so busy that they could not handle them. Never before were they so busy. Calls came in over the special information telephone Wednesday and Thursday, day and night, at the rate of one a minute and besides this, at least 3,000 calls concerning the election were answered through the regular information telephones. T Rush Grows Steadily. Uecause of the nice weather and the many places at which returns were received in Richmond Tuesday night, " business at the telephone office was (hill. The real rush started Wednes

day morning and this culminated in what might be called a "triple rush" Thursday because the weather kept people from getting out to the places where the election returns were' posted. Wires to the newspaper offices and the party headquarters were busy almost continually while the election results were in the balance. It was found that many people would tall up every source of Information in sonsecutlve order In hore of securing some different material.

v mfi ..-. -; j.v-'. - - - At least 500 extra long distance telephone calls were sent out of Richmond during the election excitement. Most of these were directed to the

Republican and Democratic headquart

ers at Indianapolis and Cincinnati, and to the various towns over the Sixth

district.

An unprecedented number of calls from farmers over the county was re

ceived.

Through the telephone calls asking for information, it was learned that several women in the city bet rather

heavily on the election.

At 1 o'clock Wednesday morning

one well known woman called up in

formation and wanted to know if

Wilson were really elected.

"A woman with whom I bet $10 on

Wilson is here trying to collect.

Should I pay it?"

The answer stating that the results were yet in the balance was the cue

for a series of telephone calls from

the woman which came in about every half hour until Wilson was declared a

winner late last night.

A person's politics could easily be detected by the way he extended

thanks for the information.

When the favorite candidate as in the lead, there was a rising inflection

in tne voice which saia tnank you, but when the tide was going the other

way, well, then the "thank you could scarcely be heard.

SHOP INSTITUTE WILL BE STARTED BY "Y" LEADERS

Officers for a permanent Y. M. C. A. shop institute will be elected and installed at;a meeting in the association building this evening. Successful organization shop meetings have been conducted each day this week, excepting Tuesday, under the personal direction of A. M. Bruner, Chicago, and tomorrow, the em- . ployes in the various shops tn which weekly noon meetings will be conducted during the winter will organize. Each shop will elect committees who will make plans in the shop for the noon meetings. The shop men are taking great, interest in the work this year, it is reported Mr. Bruner, the shop work specialist, will leave Richmond Sunday afternoon after addressing a big mass meeting of men in the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium. The institute for ministers and business men who will conduct the meetings will be continued

through the winter, however. ' Particular care will be taken by ministers who conduct the shop meetings this year. They will try to give talks which will interest the men and the institute will be 'conducted so that they can get together and discuss the best methods of getting up genuine "shop talks."

EVEN GRAND JURORS DEMAND RETURNS

SELLS FARM TO JONES

Florie Kellum has sold her forty-one and ' one-half acre farm, south of Hagerstown to Oscar W. Jones for the consideration of $6,300. This makes the consideration $149 an acre. The deed was recorded today, . '

Business in Richmond resumed its normal trend today after being practically at a standstill Wednesday and Thursday while the election result hung in the balance. School authorities reported that owing to the interest in the election it was difficult to carry on class work! In order to keep the Grand Jury in session at the court house, it was necessary for the court bailiff to get the latest election returns for them every few minutes. - '
