A special election will be held on September 6 to vote upon 13 proposed amendments to the state constitution. If a majority of the voters favor these changes, they will become the fundamental law cf the state. If the majority is against them, the present provisionr, in force for 70 years, will continue to be the law. This is a more important election than those for the selection of officials. Their terms of office expire. These laws go on and on. These proposed amendments will appear upon the ballots by numbers. Below them will be small boxes containing the words "yes" and "no." To vote for the amendments, place a cross in the box marked "yes." If you are against any of them, put your ;ross in the box marked "no. For the convenience of the voters. The News-Times prints be.'ow an explanation of each of the proposed changes, explaining in very day terms just what they mean and without comment. Study these changes. Make up your own mind. And do not fail to vote upon each and every amendment. AMENDMENT NO. 1 This amendment will prevent foreign born persons from voting until they receive their final naturalization papers and become full :itizens.

WIFE MURDERER TO FACE CHARGE UPOAT RETURN TO ALABAMA

Public Service Commission Request ' Information From Electric Company. INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., Aug. CO. In seeking evidence to aid in determining tho valuation of public utilities proposed to be joined in the new Indiana Electric corporation, the public service commission Tuesday ordered that it be furnished a digest of what cash or security payments are to be made to stockholders of the constituent companies for their holdings. The order waa issued while Joseph II. Drewei, president of the new corporations, was being examined by counsel for cities appearing at the commission's hearing to determine whether the merger and Issuance of new securities will bo authorized by the state conuni.sion. Options, Mr. Brewer said, had been taken on all the common stock uf the Indiana Railways and Uyrht company, and tho Wabash, the Cayuga and the Putnam Electric companies. Hold Option. An option for the stoc3;ho'.d:ng? of George J. Marrott of this city, in the Indiana Railways and Ught company, Mr. Brewer testified, called for a share for the stock, in cash or securities or all cash. No options are held on the Merchants Heat and Ught company of this city, the Elkhart Gas and Ik1 company, or the Valparaiso Lighting company, it was explained, because these properties are now owned by the Broker interest.?. For the Wabash, the Cayuga and the Putnam companies stock, it was testiticd that $6SO,000 in cu.h and securities was to be paid for the stock control of the three companies and that a bond lien of some of the property, the amount of which was not stated, wis- to be retiied. rcfore giving any details of the plans for stock control of the constituent companies, Mr. Brewer protested to the commission against giving such information, asserting that he did not wish to discuss the p'.ans "before interests that are adverse" to the new corporation. Counsel for the corporation joined in t Iiis discussion, declaring' "concerted attempt was being made to obstruct" the new corporation, regardless of

its merits, and tinally it was agreed!

that a digest of the options should be provided so n& to aid in determining values. The commission did
