Dear Sirs: There's a little bit of a state
down east-a Rhode Island man was fined
800 the other day for selling potatoes
his bushel was like his state; short
measure.
1t isn't fair to punish a man for short
bushel potatoes, and not for short-gallon
paint
There is short-gallon paint in many
stores in your section.
If you get sent to the legislature will
you get the law fixed?
Devoe lead and zinc don't measure
short; and don't last short. It's full
measure both ways.
Yours truly.

tion. Senator Fairbanks spoke first and
Senator Beveridge second. In the course of
his remarks, Mr.. Beveridge said. in effect.
that the harsh remarks of the senator from
Texas were unwarranted and unguarded.
lie said that an official who made charges
against another official without proper
proof was as bad as the one accused. This
the Texas senator resented in his speech.
He went to the extent of declaring that he
would hold the Indiana senator responsible.
AT the close of the session Senator Bailey
walked over to where Mr.. Beveridge was
sitting and asked that the remarks be with
dawn. Mr.. Beveridge explained why he
could not withdraw the remarks unless the
senator retracted what he had said of Judge
Penfeld. They argued the matter Vigorous
ly. but with good humor for several min
utes, one or two times other senators hav-
ing a word TO say. They protested their
mutual admiration for each other. When
Mr.. Beveridge finally refused to withdraw
the language, Mr.. Bailey made a lunge for
him. struck at him and missed. Bailey was
led away and that was the end of the Incl
dent"
AN EYEWITNESS S ACCOUNT
A senator who was present gives a little
more circumstantial account. He says:
MIR. Beveridge was sitting in the seat of
Senator Lodge. Back of him were Messrs
McComas and Hansbrough. Further back
were Senators Hanna and Kittredge and
by his side sat Mr.. Spooner. On the Demo
cratic side were Messrs. Bacon and Pettus
The only others in the chamber were few
of the officers of the Senate. After Mr..
Beveridge was requested by Mr.. Bailey TO
withdraw the offensive remarks the con-
versation lasted for seven or ten minutes
Once in while an outsider Clipped in
and several times Senator Spooner offered
a suggestion. Mr.. Beveridge was explain
ing that it would be ridiculous for him to
withdraw the remarks as long as those of
the senator stood against Judge Penfield
Mr.. Bailey explained that Judge Penfield
could hold him responsible and that he held
the Indiana senator responsible for his re-
marks. Mr.. Bailey finally asked Mr.. Bev-
eridge to think the matter over and that
he would not press his request until to-
morrow Mr.. Beveridge replied that he had
made UP his mind and might not think
about it tomorrow. With an oath Mr.
Bailey declared that he would think about
it on the morrow and many other days. He
also said he would shake the stuffing out of
him. He as cool as ice. but raised his
voice as he reached for Mr.. Beveridge. took
him by the coat collar and shook him In
the melee desk was partly pushed over
and a chair uDturned. The two senators
remained composed and there was no ex-
citement except on the part of the agitated

The Company Has Been offered n Sub
stantiaI Bonus to Remove Its Big
Plant from This City.
MAYOR TALKS TO COUNCILMEN
HE RECOMMENDS THAT THEY SUP
PORT SWITCH oRDINANUE.
III. &. Atkins. President of the Concern,
Admits that the Situation Has
Serious Phases.

Indianapolis is threatened with the loss
of one of its oldest. most famous and per-
manent manufacturing industries. Because
the City Council will not pass the ordinance
approving the contract made with the E. c.
Atkins Company the directors of the COM
pany are considering proposals from three
Indiana gas belt cities for removal of the
entire plant.
Recently the Atkins Company decided to
enter new field along the lines of its bust
ness. 1t also decided that the supply of
natural gas of the Manufacturers Gas
Company, of which it is now the sole con-
sumer, would become exhausted and that
this would require the installation of an
artificial gas plant for the individual use
of the factory. These two new phases of
the business made it imperative that the
company receive switch privileges into its
property at South, Illinois and Eddy streets
and Capitol avenue, and it requested the
Board of Public Works to grant a switch
from the Union tracks on McNabb street
through property owned by the company on
the north side of South street, thence across
South street to Eddy street and giving
ample switching facilities The board
granted the request, but the ordinance ap-
proving the contract was defeated in the
Council
COULD NOT BE IGNORED.
Last Friday Mayor BOoAwalter learned
through a private source that gas belt
city had made a proposition to the Atkins
Company to take its plant from this CITY
The offer included land free and a bonus
sufficient to practically erect the new plant
in one-story structures. which means a con-
siderable amount of economy in so large a
business. The mayor learned also that the
company could not ignore the proposal
officials of the company with whom he
talked said the question was not one of
sentiment it might have been in the
lifetime of Elias c. Atkins, founder of the
plant, but that sound business principles
required a thorough investigation of the
proposition.
Yesterday the mayor sent for all the Re

LONDON, June 30.-The bulletins issued
by the physicians to-day concerning the
condition of King Edward were of reassur-

At noon the following official statement

The noticeable excitement during the past

In view of the Kings continued improv-

night.
The general feeling of relief as result
of the favorable reports of the condition
of the King vented itself tonight by the
touching off of the 1900 bonfires throughout
the United Kingdom which were originally
prepared to celebrate coronation night. The
sign to light the fires was given at five
minutes past O'Clock. A rocket was sent
up from the top of the gigantic wheel in
Earl's court and burst in a cloud of stars
one thousand feet overhead. In response
to this signal bonfires rose from every ele-
walton of any consequence from the Lizard
to the Orkneys. The celebrations were un-
fortunately somewhat dampened by q
downfall of rain.
