thirty charter members and gives
promise ofbeing vigorous addition TO
the order in this part Of the state.
The work of organization was in
charge OF Capt. j. w. T. Ames of the
New Richmond Camp, and the i'm
pressive ritual and picturesque cere-
monies were carried out with a
military prOmptness and good humOr
that were mighty pleasant to behold.
Capt. Ames not only had the strictest
obedience Of his men but their cordial
confidence. This spirit extended also
to he other visiting camps, and soon
tool; firm hold upon the initiates.

and precision.
The following were the visitors:
from New Richmond-Capt. j. w. T..
AmeS, Claude III. Van Meter, Ray
Odell, Charles Lambdin, Earle Daw-
ley, Jay Dinsmore, Ralph Bently, Fred

Stewart, G. J. Crosby and Geo. dish;
from Diamond BluG-Capt. d. c..
Judd, Geo. Hutchinson, Harvey
Currey, Chas. Hope, Allen Hutchinson,
Ernest Welt and Geo. Hart.
The Diamond Bluff Camp was
organized last March by Capt. Ames
and his officers, and the young men
showed their good Fellowship by turn
ing out in force to muster in the new
lodge.
After the muster the following
officers were elected and duly installed:
Capt. J. r. Getchell: First Lieut., f.

DENOUNCEs JUDGE MORAY.
Superintendent fGofbert Thinks He
Ought to Be Impeached

Superintendent Colbert is much incensed
at the action of Judge McCray in letting
Frank Stubs off with so light sentence.
He says he thinks Judge McCray ought
to resign. If he won't resign he ought to
be impeached, the police superintendent
thinks and Governor Mount given chance
to appoint a man who will do his duty.
The superintendent says that Stubs
could have been prosecuted before Judge
Cox and would have received about three
years in the workhorse. but the police
thought ii case calling for greater pun
ishment He says the only reason Stubs
did not kill Policeman Cronin is because he
had no weapon: that he is a man who has
never been arrested without a struggle. and
was deserving of the extreme limit of pun
iShment.
Mr.. Colbert had no complaint TO make
OF Prosecutor Wiltsie, believing that he
SympathiZed with the police in many cases
which end so ridiculously in the courts
This Is not the only recent case in which
Superintendent Colbert complains of Judge
McCray's laxity. He spoke of the case of
eight young men who were recently ar
rested and who confessed TO twelve burg
lares In the city All but one of them were
allowed 10 go free and Monday night one
of them. Harry OBrien. was caught i'm the
act of burglary. The superintendent says
that so far as he is concerned he can get
along very well. but he sees little value
in police force without something behind
back il uD

THAT VANDALIA CLAIM
COMMITTEE FEELS SURE THERE is
LARGE AMOUNT DUE.
Will Introduce the Attorney Gcner.
ais Bills and Make Report
of Its Findings.

The joint committee on the Vandalia in
vestigaton held final meeting yesterday
afternoon in the speakers room while both
houses were in session. 1t was decided to
introduce in both houses the two curative
Ellis prepared by the attorney general and
heretofore published. One Of these seeks
TO amend the special charter under which
the Vandalia operated from 1S4T TO 1873. so
as TO eliminate the clause making il incum-
bent upon the Legislature to regulate the
tolls of the road. and the other seeks TO
prevent the operation Of the statute of linn
itations against the claim. The third bill.
authorizing the attorney general to employ
assistant counsel and institute suit to re-
cover whatever may be due the State. will
also be introduced but not until after the
committee has submitted TO each House a
full report of its findings. lie has examined
thoroughly the figures submitted by the
Vandalia Company and believes there is
strong probability amounting TO practical
certainty that there is a considerable
amount of money due the State. The COM
mittee decided to recommend that 20 per
cent. of the amount collected shall be given
TO the attorney general for the payment of
himself and assistant counsel for prosecut-
ing the claim.

Curfew Ordinance Arguments.

In regard 10 the question of an ordinance
TO keep unemployed children ard young peo-
pie without chaperons off the streets after
a certain hour of the night some discussion
has taken place in the Local Council of
Women though no recommendation has
been passed. According to the request of
the Local Council the committee on city and
State legislation has sought the opinion of
certain people of official influence respecting
the advisabiity of such an ordinance. The
superintendent of the Free kindergarten.
the president. vice president and Superin-
tendent of the Boys Club, the superintend-
ent and board of directors of the Women s
Reformatory, the superintendent of the
Home for the Friendless. the matron of the
Door of Hope, the president of the y. w.
have been visited. These people have with
out exception spoken in favor or such re-
straining ordinance. Among other argu-
ments advanced were these: First that
such an ordinance would be "A monitor and
thus a help TO the careless child himself in
instilling proper habits of nome-gong after
errands were done; second, ii would come 20
the assistance of many parents who are
ern their children. third. II would restrain
those children who. for other reasons are
left uncontrolled and uncared for: fourth,
this ordinance would teach the disobeljent
for law ere il might be too late for them
to learn the lesson with safety TO them
selves. fifth, so far from proving a check
TO liberty IL would assist in the making OF
such citizens believe that liberty is not
license nor lawlessnesS. but the legitimate
Inheritance of the American child: sixth

SUPREME COURT DECISION PRAC-
TICALLY GIVES THAT CITY ONE.
Permits the City to Open N street
Through Railroad Yards-PitiabIe
Case of Tilie Aikens

The case Of the city of Terre Haute
against the Evansville & Terre Haute Rail-
road Company was yesterday decided by
the Supreme Court. The court decided that
the act OF 1891, giving the Common Council
OF city authority to condemn any property
OF a railroad passing through the city, when
IL Is needed for street or alley purposes,
gives the Council right to extend a street
across the switch yards of a railroad, which
1t uses for storing and unloading freight
cars.
In this decision the judgment of the trial
court is reversed. The trial court held
that the proposed street could not be
opened, under the law that a city could
not extend its streets across grounds al
ready devoted TO another public use incon-
sistant with its use as a street. The Su-
preme Court held that it was the evident
intention OF the Legislature to give cities
auditional power to condemn railroad prop
erty' and that a street may be opened
across any railroad property on payment
of damages.
Ihis decision is regarded as applying with
equal pertinence TO the case of the City of
indianapolis and the Pennsylvania yards I'm
the east part of the city, An effort was
made some time ago to extend a street
through the yards to the land-locked dis
trict south of them aa
The decision Of the Supreme Court will
practically give TO the city of Terre Haute
elShty acres of beautiful park land. Mrs
Deming offered this ground 10 the civ nro
vided the city would open Ohio street
through to the land. The city attempted
70 90 TINS. but was opposed by the rail
switches punched in the central part of the
city, where the street must necessarily
pass. -
