THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TBLEHrRAM, RICHMOND. IND.. THURSDAY, JUNE 24, 1920.

ENGINEERS WOULD CHANGE DATE OF WEEKLY MEETINGS

A motion that the annual meeting days of the Indiana organization of National Association of Sanitary Engineers be changed from Wednesday. Thursday and Friday to Friday and Saturday was presented by the resolutions committee at the business session of the annual meeting in the Eagles' Hall Thursday morning. Vote will be taken at Thursday night's session. Engineers supporting the change in

the constitution pointed out that Wednesday, Thursday and Friday made It impossible for a large number of en

gineers to be present at the convention. Friday and Saturday as meeting days, these men claimed, would greatly increase the attendance. Thursday morning's session was at

tended by 13 delegates. This is far below the number expected. The Central States exhibitors' association had a complete membership, however. R. w. Raven, national secretary of the N. A. S. E., addressed Thursday's meeting on plans for the the good of the order. Judson Pratt, of the Cincinnati stationery engineers, made an address on the same lines. A .H. Prichard, of thei Vacuum oil company, spoke on lubrication. Photograph is Taken. A photograph of the group was taken at the Wayne county court house, early Thursday afternoon. At 2 p. m,, an auto riderof the city was held. Delegates were conducted th rough the Starr Piano company. Considerations of the resolutions committee, submitted Thursday morning, will be taken up at a business meeting in the Eagles Hall at 7:30 p. m., Thursday. The wives of the delegates were to have a theatre party while the business sesion was in progress. The exhibit hall will be thrown open to the public Thursday night. Indications are that Anderson will be awarded next year's convention.

Robbins Files Petition For Light Rate Increases Byram C. Robbins, city attorney, filed a petition with the Indiana Public Utilities commission .Thursday, for an order authorizing an Increase in the lighting and power rates of the Richmond Municipal Electric plant according to the rate schedule approved last Monday night by the city council. It is expected that the utilities commission will have a hearing on the Richmond rate increase case within a few days, either in Richmond or in Indianapolis. In his petition Mr. Robbins has emphasized the importance of prompt action on the new rate schedule.

BIG CROP BEING DUG, BUT SPUDS STAY UP

Potatoes! The food that once was the staple dish of rich and poor alike, are declining in price very slowly, despite the fact that in the east, one of the largest potato crops ever grown is now being dug. is the information received from O. A. Kemper, who owns and operates a commission house on Ft. Wayne Avenue. It is too early to estimate the northern crop, but a big showing is hoped. Why is the price so high? The answer was said to be because of the

great demand. Often the price was Jess in a city like Cincinnati than at the shipping point, because the city markets loaded up with the product had to get some off of their hands. Potatoes are now being bought from North and South Dakota, Texas, and several other points. Mr. Kemper said that he had in store some potatoes that were purchased from Denmark. This was done because the market price was so much cheaper than they could be bought here and sold at a profit. "Never was there a time," said Mr. Kemper, "that I remember the old potatoes running out so quickly as this year. They usually last until the middle of July."

BENN CONFIDENT OF NEW MILITIA OUTFIT

Frank Benn, who was first lieutenant of Co. K Indiana Home Guards, settled up the affairs of the company at the state headquarters in Indianapolis Wednesday. Mr. Benn also called on Adjutant General Harry D. Smith, and to talk over the National Guard situation for Richmond "The state wants a company of 50 men mustered here, and wants

us to recruit 65 men toward that purpose as soon as possible," said Mr.

guardsmen are preferred. Forty-eight drill periods of an hour and a half each are to be given a year. Salary will average $100 a year. Former service men may enlist for one yearOthers must enlist for two years." Mr. Benn explained that as soon as Myron Malsby, former captain of Co K, returns from a trip east, they will try to get together with members of the National Guard committee, appointed by Elmer Eggerueyer, former president of the Richmond Com' mercial club. "I have talked to a number of men

who are considering enlisting." said

Mr. Benn. "Tney are not quite decided, however, and while I am con-

Benn. "Former service men or homejfident that we will be able to organize

a company here, T do not think It Is going to be the easiest thing in the world." Newcastle has organized two companies already, it is understood. The state headquarters prefers that Richmond and Newcastle each have one company, it is said.

Lenn May Ratify Suffrage (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, D. C, June 24 Assistant Attorney General Frierson has advised Governor Roberts of Tennessee that the legislature of that state could ratify the suffrage amendment without submitting the issue to the people.
