FOR KENTUCKY AVENUE
CHANGE IN CHARTER TO PERMIT ITS
PERMANENT IMPROVEMENT.
Council Will Pass an Ordinance TO
Give City Control of All Markets
Licenses for Public Scales.

Now that the Legislature is about to con-
vene. the question of having law passed
for the relief of property owners on Ken
lucky avenue is being agitated again. The
Board of Public Works was compelled to
reject a petition for the improvement of
the roadway from South street to the new
White river bridge on account of complica-
tions due to the proximity of Greenlawn
Cemetery. The charter provides that
streets shall be improved for the entire
width one half of the expense to be borne
by the abutting property owners on each
side. There was way of assessing liens
on the cemetery Besides that, about
twenty-five feet of the avenue on the side
next the cemetery, is occupied with rail-
road tracks, and ii is thought to be unnec-
essary to pave between the tracks. The
city attorney suggested that the simplest
way to get around the trouble would be to
secure a law providing that such portions
of the street as may be deemed necessary
shall be paved, and that the board may as
sess the costs against the abutting prom
erty owners on the southeast side alone
Councilmen from the South Side. particu-
larly President Costello, are anxious TO
have something done for Kentucky ave-
nue.. as IL has one of the best bridges in
town. and is the most direct route TO West
Indianapolis and the country beyond In
its present bad condition the street is
worse than a corduroy road, and Is not
Travelled so much Ii would be- notwith-
standing that large sum was spent for
a good bridge over White river.

COUNTERFEIT CASES.
Three Local Business Men Discharged
by Judge Baker.

Several criminal cases were disposed of
in the United States District Court yester-
day The jury in the case of Charles c.
Watson, the druggist charged with pass
ing counterfeit of q silver dollar, brought
in verdict of not guilty. The day before
George II. Tomlinson had practically ad-
mitted his guilt on the stand and was found
guilty, and Henry Luederman was ac-
quilted Judge Baker when the verdict in
the Watson case was received. said that,
inasmuch as Watson and Luederman were
not guilty, 1T was hardly justice to punish
Tomlinson. He sustained a motion for a
new trial and nollied the case.
The case against James Cluggage. the ex-
postmaster of Sullivan. who was charged
with being short in his accounts, was also
nollied. Cluggage left the postoffice nearly
three years ago, and last spring shortage
of about 500 was discovered. He was
personal friend of United States Marshal
Hawkins. and the latter advised him to
make the amount good and 1t might not
come as far as a prosecution. Cluggage
was then engaged in the livery business at
Terre Haute. He did not make the amount
good and was finally str Arrested by Mr. Haw
moved In open, court that the case be
nollied, claiming that he did not believe
case case could could be made He said afterward
shortage; that 1t could not be shown by
the books or otherwise Just when the short
age occurred, and that under the statute
of limitations which Is three years, the
government could not make case.
Charles Kohl, who was a special delivery
messenger in the Indianapolis postoffice
and who extracted a decoy letter contain
ing 81, was found guilty by jury and SEN
fenced by the court TO ninety days in the
Marion county jail. His youth made the
sentence light. YlT
Ulysses r. Henry pleaded guilty to pass
ing two split SO bills at Marion and was
sentenced to two years. He split q $40 bill
and pasted each half on half of a 81 bin
and passed eacn for SO

found guilty Of receiving some stamps

A Fine Point I'm LayV.

The Appellate Court yesterday laid down
the doctrine that the State can punish for
the violation of a repealed statute in cases
where the statute was violated before it
was repealed and the prosecution is begun
after the repeal. This was done i'm the
case OF John A. Hardman, convicted of
violating the Grubbs libel law which was
repealed by the last Legislature. The libel
was uttered before the law was repealed
but HardmanS s defense was that after the
repeal OF the law a prosecution could not
be made under Ii. His view was sustained
by the Grant Circuit Court, but the APP
pellate Court reversed the decision.
