IN GEORGE NJ. RAYS BEHALF.
Durbin Receives n Letter
from His Sister, Mrs. Thompson.

The familiar case of George NJ. Ray, the
Shelbyville politician and newspaper pub
Usher, now in the State Prison at Michigan
City on an indeterminate sentence of from
two to twenty-olFe years, sprang into no
tice again in the Governors office yester-
day when Governor Durbin received from
Mrs. Thompson, of Shelbyville, a sister of
the prisoner, a lengthy letter making a
pitiful plea for clemency in behalf of her
brother. Ray was sent up for completely
in a series of frauds that nave been
thoroughly aired in the public prints and
by which Shelby county lost large sums of
money. His trial lasted an unusual length
of time and created considerable of a stir.
The Governor declined to give an intima-
ton Of his probable decision in the case,
but the prediction was confidently made
in the StatehOUse yesterday that Ray will
not be compelled 10 provide himself with
board and lodging until the board of di-
rectors of the prison sees fit to parole him,
which may be done at the expiration of the
minimum portion of his sentence. Attor-
ney General Taylor was asked If he knew
of any recent movement to nave Ray re-
leased from prison. mo | do not" he said,

I R LOSS OF $4,000.
Holy Cross Church and
School Damaged.

The Holy Cross Catholic Church and
school was damaged yesterday morning
about s o'clock by fire, which started in the
furnace room under the part of the building
used for school purposes. The damage TO
the building was estimated at 5000. being
mostly confined to the schoolrooms. The
fire had secured good Roadway when dis
covered, but prompt arrival of the depart
ment and effective work prevented the
flames from spreading to other parts of the
building, and it was easily controlled. The
fire did not reach the auditorium, but there
was some damage from smoke in that part
and also from water. The Rev. d. d. Nc
Cabe, who has charge Of the church and
school, tried to get into the building and
reach the altar, when he learned of the
fire. He was overcome by the smoke and
got out with difficulty. The damage was
fully covered by insurance, and the fire
will result only in slight Inconvenience To
the school and a probable delay in building
an addition which had been planned. The
school will be opened tomorrow as usual.

GAS COMPANY's BRIEF.
Claim Made that the Company Cannot
Re Compelled to Make Extensions.

A brief for the Indianapolis Gas Com
pany was filed in the Supreme Court yes
terday by Ferdinand Winter and his son.
Clarence Winter, in the appeal of the State
on the relation of the city of Indianapolis
from a judgment Of the Marion Superior
Court sustaining the gas ~company's de-
murrer to an alternative writ of mandate
commanding ii to make extensions of its
plant to supply sufficient gas to it's custom
ers in this city. The points mainly relied
on by the MeSSrs. Winter in their brief are
that the city of Indianapolis is not the
proper relator in the suit and that the gas
company cannot be arbitrarily compelled
TO make the extensions asked without some
assurance that it will derive an increased
revenue sufficient To Justify the expendi-
ture necessary TO make such extensions.
The brief asserts that the company is pro-
tected against the needless outlay of money
IN this way by the fourteenth amendment
to the Constitution of the United States.
Legal decisions in support of these con-
tentions are cited freely.

DAILY WEATHER FORECASTS.
They Are Now Within the Reach of
Nearly Every Farmer.

The rural free delivery mail service has
enabled the Weather Bureau to give many
thousands of farmers the benefits of daily

the rapid extension of that service, together
with the active cooperation of postmasters,
approved and encouraged by the Postoflce
Department, bids fair to make it possible
for the forecasts to be placed at the door
of practically every farmer in indiana
during the next year.

with pOstmasters at ~thirty-eight places in
the State where new or additional rural
routes were established on Nov. l, with a
