AN APPEAL TO WASHINGTON.
GrOcers who Bought OIeomargarina
of the ZiOnsvfIIe Concern.

The grocers who bought butterine from
the Dickson McCurdy concern at Xi0nsville
and who are in trouble with the United
States authorities contend that they bought
the stuff in good faith, relying on the state
ment that it was pure butter. The Grocers'
Association has taken the case in hand, and
has employed ex-District Attorney Burke to
protect their case. In answer to q call many
grocers who had been caught called at
brakes grocery. on North Meridian street,
yesterday and agreed to join in the Htiga-
ton. There will be a meeting OF all In
terested tonight at the Board OF Trade.
Immediate action will have to be taken. II
is the intention to have Mr.. Burke so to
Washington to present the case to the cons
missioner of internal revenue, with view
of having him issue orders restraining the
officials here from making any efIOrt TO
collect the fees. It is said that they would
amount to about $50 in each CASE Mr..
Burke's action will only represent those
who appear at the meeting Tonight, or
who have already signed an agreement 70
bear part of the expense of the litigation
It is estimated that it will cost each grocer
s. or S. About thirty signed the agreement
yesterday afternoon.

THE INN RECEIVED LITTLE.
Rev. r.. ". Hunters Charges Against
DOnagy Concert Company.

A Terre Haute paper last evening printed
communications from Rev. r. V. Hunter,
of indianapolis, callirg the Donagy Concert
Company, which advertised a concert at
Terre Haute last night, swindlers. Mr..
Hunter said it gave concert in Indianapo-
lis Tuesday night with the understanding
that the Friendly Inn was to receive 40
per cent. of the profit; that $1,150 worth of
tickets were sold, but that the Inn received
only $40. Mr.. Hunter says: "They are con-
fidence people and very smooth. am ready
to back up all I say" Mr.. Hunter refers
to Secretary Grout, of the charity organiza-
ton, or Attorney Samuel Ashby He writes
from Lincoln, ILL.,, and inclosed this tele-
gram: Refused to settle. No money. You
write to Terre Haute. Samuel Ashby."
Miss Barnes, a member Of the company,
said that in Indianapolis they did not sell
600 tickets in all at one dollar, fifty and
twenty-five cents. She said that the way
Mr.. Hunter was led to believe more tickets
had been sold was because they were num-
bered, and he saw one that happened 10
have big number on 1t. When 1T came
time to settle, she says, the indianapolis
people wanted forty cents on the f1fty-cent
tickets.
The Humane Society at Terre Haute said
last night that the settlement there was sat
isfactory. The society received $50. the
company paid 40 per cent. on all tickets
short of the 500 sold whether or not they
were taken in at the door.

THE COMPANY ASSURED
TELEPHONE MANAGEMENT ON PLAN
OF THE CONSUMERS GAS TRUST.
e. ID. Porter VIII BE Director of the
COncern-Prominent Men Sug-
gested for Trustee.

1t is now positively announced that tele-
phone company will be organized on the
plan of the Consumers Gas Trust Com
pany, suggested by A. f. Potts. Yester-
day morning the Journal said that if Mr..
Potts was not successful in getting one of
the companies that are asking for fran
chises to adopt his plan a new company
would most likely be formed. In his efforts
in this direction Mr.. Potts conferred with
w. A. Pickens, of the firm that first sug-
gested that the board let the franchise by
competitive bidding. At that time Mr..
Pickens informed the board that he repre-
sented clients who would compete for the
business If that plan were followed. When
Mr.. Potts conferred with him it was dis
covered that the persons Mr.. Pickens rep
resents proposed to work along a line SINH
lar to that advocated by Mr.. Potts and the
men back of him, and they finally decided
to join forces. AS result it is announced
that a company similar to the Gas Trust
will be formed at once. John H. Holiday,
D. p. Erwin, Herman Lieber, Joseph r.
Evans and Henry Schnull are suggested for
trustees. Edward B. Porter will be one of
the directors and treasurer of the company
Mr.. Potts stated last evening that the new
company will be made up entirely of local
business men. Additional names of those to
become interested will be published later
1t Is proposed that when the Board of
Works adverties for bids that the new COM
pany shall make an offer to furnish teIe-
phones at the low rates that have been sug-
gested by the other companies that have
been organized. If the company gets the
GRAFTON long enough to pay s per cent. on
the investment, and the surplus has wiped
out the original cost, it is proposed that
service shall be furnished to all subscribers
at cost.
