NORWOOD AND GAS
Suburbs Annexation Is Discussed


The Council committee on judiciary, COM
posed of Councilmen Negley, Expert and
Kelly, met last night for a three-fold pur-
pose. The first purpose was to decide
whether Norwood, which voted it didn't
want TO be incorporated as a town, should
be annexed to the city. This purpose
failed because the committee did not de-
eide. A delegation of citizens of Norwood,
led by j. NJ. Washington, was present to
ask for annexation. Mr.. Washington is an
active man, almost an octogenarian, and
is regarded as the father of the little COM
munity of 400. He said the people who
who constituted nine-tenths OF the pOpu-
lation. wanted TO be annexed so they could
ride to the business district on the Shelby
Vile interurban cars for 5 cents, and be-
cause they wanted police protection. They
did not want to be a burden to the city
and their anticipated benefits were modest.
Mr.. WashingtOn's request for police pro-
lection was made more terse by another
of the Norwood delegates, who said all
they wanted was an Irishman with a
club
The ami and the delegation studied
a map of the proposed annexation and
found that ii included no schoolhouse. but
did omit two in A new city
had children and wanted city school edu-
cation. They also wanted the lawless,
who make life miserable on Sunday,
quelled. The committee decided to inves-
tigate the subject further.
The request of Mayor Bookwalter for
authority to employ additional counsel to
assist the city attorney in the imminent
litigation with the Indianapolis Gas Com
pany was next considered. 1t was thought
that the mayor should have indicated
lust how much he thought the additional
counsel would cost and a decision was
postponed until that estimate should be
obtained.
Councilman Billingsley's ordinance pro-
viding for the inspection and test of gas
meters and artificial gas was next taken
up. The ordinance provides that when
ever a consumer of the gas company
wants the accuracy of his meter tested
he shall request the city engineer TO make
the test. If the meter is wrong the COM
pany must replace IL within twenty-four
hours or suffer a fine of 80. If the meter
is right the consumer must pay a fee of
p cents for inspection. Mr.. Negley called
attention TO the fact that the ordinance
gave the engineer power TO disconnect the
meter and take it TO his office for a test.
their gas shut off for the purpose of a
test. Mr.. Expert suggested that the or
dinance be amended so that the engineer
substitute a meter known to be correct.
The ordinance also provides that the en-
gineer shall make a weekly test OF the
Illuminating gas TO see II ii possesses the
candle power required by the ordinance.
If found below the ompany must within
three days bring it to standard and for the
third day and each day thereafter that the
ompany fails TO do this IT may be fined
$3.50. The committee agreed TO take more
time to look into the feasibility of the or
di0ance.

band. who is a hOstler at the Vandalia

covered wagon in an alley about two blocks
from the house. This time Mrs. Trucks
armed herself with a 30 caliber revolver.
Trucks was again informed Of his wife's
intention and ran from the wagon. Mrs.
Trucks fired at him. She did not try to
injure him. as she shot In the air. Trucks
did not tarry to learn what further dam
age his wife intended. Mrs. Trucks was

Nefghborhood Was Excited.

Police Sergeant Crane. who makes his
home with his daughter. Mrs. George
jolly 1902 West Vermont street. climbed up
10 the roof of the house yesterday after
noon TO cut some branches of a tree that
INSTRUCTED the vent of a chimney. His
ladder was SUI rorted by the chimney, and
feeling his foothold insecure Crane looked
down and saw the chimney cracking. He
jumped and the jar caused the collapse of
the chimney. The bricks tumbling down
the roof made a great noise and Mrs.
Jolly, who was in the house, was attacked
by Mysteries. The neighbors, alarmed by
the crash Of the falling chimney, assembled
in the yard, but Crane emerged from the
dust clouds uninjured.
Crane told his associates at the police
station last night that he did not mind the
loss of the chimney. but he suffered with
his granddaughter for the smashing of the
table she had set for the refreshment of
her dolls on the ground just under the
chimney.

hereafter an applicant for a diploma must
send a photograph of himself with his
name written on the back and certified to

Philadelphia Record.

In one respect Minister WI will have a
successful rival in his successor. Sir LANG
Chen Tung. the coming Chinese minister,
is. if possible. more proficient in the use
of our language than is the distinguished
Chinese gentleman whom he will succeed
though not displace. Such. at least, was
the opinion expressed by President Roose-
welt to Mr.. WI after having heard Sir
Liang talk. Mr.. WI need nave no fear of
being supplanted in the esteem of Ameri-
cans; it is men say hat counts, not
the language in which their thoughts are
expressed. Sir LANG seems to be a big
hearted and road-mi man with a lik-
ing for children; but the mother wit and
polite yet singing criticisms of Mr.. WI are
inimitable.
