Which Is Entitled to Possession of
the Property:

The Union Trust Company was appointed
receiver for Hornshu & Smock, shoe deal
ers at No. So North Pennsylvania street at
o'clock Wednesday night, by Judge Win

entitled to possession. The question will
be decided by Judge Winters this morn
ing, the receiver having possession till
the disputed point is determined.

TEHRE HAUrE SEWER CASE.
Decision o. the Lower Court Sus-
tanned by Judge Daily.

The Supreme Court yesterday affirmed
the decision of the Vigo county courts In
the case of the city of Terre Haute against
Anderson Bruner, W. J. Irwin, p. c. Full
lerton, T. W. Kinsen. Frank Cooper and
others. The defendants, a year ago. were
indicted on the charge of conspring to
commit q felony. They were contractors,
who had submitted bids on certain sewer
work, which the city had set aside 5000 to
build. 1t was alleged that two other con-
tractors, Jesse Robertson and w. r. Ner-
Ger, were to bid 1900, which was TO be the
lowest estimate, and when the work was
complete these contractors were to divide
the earnings with the other .conspirators.
The city of Terre Haute brought suit
against the men, but the court sustained
the motion to Quash the Indictment a de-
cision in which he is upheld by the Supreme
Court. Judge Daily, in commenting on the
merits of the case, holds that the indict
ment not regular. and that there is
no statute covering the case. he contends
that contract obtained by the illegal sup
preston of competition could not be en-
forced in a civil suit, and the Indiana
Legislature has provided no act to cover

BIG FOUR MEN STRIKE
Employees at Cairo, ILL.,, Refuse to
Accept Reduced Wages.
They Will Not Permit Trains to Move
Till the Company's Order Is Rescind-
ed-Big Four Finances.

The engineers, fremen and yard switch
men Of the Big Four railroad at Cairo, Ill,
went on strike at o'clock yesterday after
noon because OF an order received Wednes-
day night that a heavy cut would be made
in wages, 10 take effect last night. About
fifty men are involved, and all trainc is sus-
pended. a passenger train was to have
left at o'clock, but the strikers refused
to let it go. There was mail car attached,
which had been cut out, and they expressed
a willingness TO let it proceed if the con-
ductor chose to take it. His orders were TO
take the whole train, and as the yardmen
refused TO couple it up he did so himself,
but when he gave the signal 10 go ahead
the car was uncoupled by strikers. This
was repeated several times, and finally the
attempt was abandoned. There was no vio-
lent demonstration, but the men seem de-
termined that trains shall go till their
wages are restored.

Can Rates BE Maintained.

"A number or prominent railroad men were
IN conversation yesterday when the talk
turned on rate matters, and the tenor of
the remarks showed that the railway rep
resentatives were quite anxious over the
present demoraliZed condition. Said one:
"A continuation of present conditions means
bankruptcy to half the roads of this coun-
try, and ii is a serious question how such a
continued Generalization can be prevented"
Sixteen per cent. Of the railway mileage
of this country is in the hands of re-
ceivers," said another, "and the manner the
Union Pacific is now handling the rate
question is certainly discouraging. 1t is
withdrawing from all associations, and it's
passenger and freight officials are telling
what they will and will not DO with as
much freedom as does a pouty child,
which means that its competitors must do
light business or meet any rate this bank
rupt road chooses to make. Many of the
roads which have been carrying worlds
fair business at low rates not anxious
TO restore them. The so-called weak lines
are threatening trouble unless they get what
they may think n full share of the bust
ness, which. coupled with the light travel
and the light freight traffic in prospect,
makes the situation very unsatisfactory"
There are other important issues which
tend TO disturb rates The ticket scalpers
have had a very profitable season, made
large sums of money, in the field with
more firmness than at any former period,
and lines are working with them which
three years ago worried the scalperS
greatly. one of the number said tho whole
matter now rested with the railway presi-
dents; II they would work tremendously
rates can be maintained; otherwise, before
thirty days pass the general passenger
agents and the general freight agents would
be making rates which meant ruin in
financial way to many OF the So-called
strong lines as we'll as to the weak ones
which have little at stake

wages are IeSIOTeu.
The Big Four's Finances.
AS in business circles and among en-
ployes on the Cleveland, Cincinnati. Chi
cago & St. Louis, there has been disposi-
tior to criticise President ingalls, for the re-
cent reduction in wages, and there has been
belief that such steps were unnecessary.
The following, from the Boston Journal
shows the financial situation of the road
in manner which indicates that the action
of Mr.. Ingalls, was compulsory; otherwise
a receiver would have been necessary.
After Analysing the statement for the first
quarter Of the company's fiscal year end
Ing with Sept go the Boston paper says:
THE gross earnings for that period amount
TO S,60O.l50, a falling off of S459,350 as COM
pared with the corresponding three months
ernount to ssS2, 39I, a loss of $l6s. 991. The
eUrpluS after interest and rentals are taken
care OF Is $2l0O34, or $1Sl, 639 below that of a
the preferred stock calls for $l25,000 In
Dther words. the road earned during the
quarter S55.O34 above the requirements of
the preferred stock. The usual per cent.
On the common stock would call for that
time for $4,000, or $l24,966 more than the
read earned. In this connection it is to be
remembered that last year, while the road
declared the regular dividends on the COM
mon stock the treasury came up with
pcfcit OF $4,000. The interesting question
Is how long road can pursue a policy of
this kind. Without doubt the managers of
the road have been relying upon the inn
proved business which must follow the pres
ent industrial prostration and upon econ
nomical changes IL the operation and fin
ar cling OF the property. This last quar-
terly statement shows that the operating
expenses have been reduced to about 81
per cent. of the gross. According to the
figures of the annual report, the cost of
operation for 1925 was nearly II per cent.
or gross earnings. That is a saving of
4 per cent has been made during the quar-
ter in expenses. With the winter months
coming on, however, no Improvement can
be expected beyond this, and it is doubt
ful If ii can be maintained. So that no
further Improvement can be expected on
that score. Provision too, it is said, has
been made for the caring of the company's
hoating debt. This at the end of the fiscal
year amounted TO 5000 763. This provision
consists of the creation of a new con-
eo1dated 4 per cent. mortgage, of which
s2,OOO,OOO has already been placed, and the
rest is 10 be put out as soon as financial
conditions are favorable. This will in
crease the fixed charges of the road. how
ever, by 100000 each year. AS it is. the
fixed charges for the present year will
mount up closely to $4,000 per month";

THE FOOTBALL GAME.

ED. GAZETTE: The weeping Jere-
miah of the West Side has been filling
that paper with lamentations over the
defeat of the Monmouth football club
by the o. A. C.'s, and charges the latter
with cheating, and not being gentlemen;
charges that are so pa1pably false as to
create nothing but contempt for the
writer. I suppose if our boys had laid
down and let the Monmouth club run on
them they would have been gentlemen
and mice fellows in the estimation Of
this "gentle1nan'' that wrote up the ar
ticle for the West Side and Oregonian.
Corvallis is proud of the football team.
We know they are gentlemen and in
capable of a mean trick. They beat
Monmouth in a fair open game and are
entitled to credit for doing it. If Mon
mouth had won they. would have been
equally well pleased. &. It makes a great
difference as to whose COX is gored." B.
