GAS LAMPS FOR THE CITY
WORKS BOARD AWARDS FIvE-YEAR
CONTRACT FOR FIFTY.
Price to BE PAID Will BE Two Dollars
Lamp Less than Ever Before
-Naphtha Lamps.

The Board of Public Works yesterday
awarded contract to the Sun Vapor Light
Company, of Canton, o., to supply the city
with fifty gas lamps for five years at SIS
year for each lamp. There were two bid
ders for the contract, but while the Cleve-
land Vapor Light Company bid s26.97 on
each lamp year, its bid was not signed by
an official of the company. and the COM
pany did not comply with the specifications.
No exhibit of devices was placed before
the board by the Cleveland company, and
the board had nothing left to do but to re-
ject its bid altogether. The Sun Vapor
Light Company was also granted a con-
tract to supply fifty naphtha lamps for one
year. The price is the same, s2S There
was only one bidder.
1t was enormously stated in afternoon
paper that the five-year contract was let for
gasoline lamps. Gas will be the illumnant
used, and the supply will be obtained by the
contractor from the Indianapolis Gas Com
pany. Heretofore the city has contracted
directly with the local gas company, but
by the present award it obtains the fifty
gas lights necessary for 81 less each than
ever before, and for 81 less each than the
lamps used In the parks cost.
The board found that 1t is legally author
lied to grant a contract of this nature for
a period of five years and, ascertaining also
that more reasonable price could be Sc
cured, the five-year contract was decided
the latest improved type. An innovation
which Will be found exceedingly useful by
pedestrians will be the placing of the names
Of streets on the lamp posts.

j. T. Chamberlain, of Boston, master car
builder of the Boston & Maine, testified
that his company has 500 cars still un-

would suffer, not the employees, unless the
extension is granted. The Atchson,

that the time for such equipment be ex-
tended.

HER HEART IS SOFTENED
ELIZABETH COFER PLEADS TO HAVE
ERRING HUSBAND RELEASED.
She Sends a Gold Ring to Justice
stout, Asking that DesertiOn
Charges BE Dismissed.

Elizabeth Cofer, Of No. 80 South Senate
avenue who caused the arrest Of her hus-
band, Albert Cofer, on a charge Of deser-
ton, has relented and yesterday in letter
to Justice Harvey b. Stout she inclosed
gold ring and asked to have Golfer released.
When arrested last week Cofer denied that
he was the woman's husband. The letter
received by the justice yesterday afternoon
verges on the pathetic. 1t is as follows:
Justice of the Peace-Will you please
dismiss the case against Albert Golfer? do
not want to prosecute him. I am not able
to, and 1 think too much of him to harm
him in any way. Through another person I
was brought into this. So please, for the
sake of a poor, broken-hearted, helpless
woman, release him and dismiss this am
perfectly helpless. Enclosed is my ring, all
/ have on earth to give for his release.
Please, oh, please, release him, for love
him dearer than my life"
The Justice said he could do nothing until
the prosecutor was notified, and If Mrs.
Cofer refused to push the matter further a
motion to nolle the affidavit would have to
be made.

MORE RAILROADS NEEDED
THE FACILITIES DO NOT KEEP PACE
WITH THE BUSINESS.
The Requirements Are Not Confined
to Any One Part of the Country,
but Include All Sections.

James McCrea, first vice president of the
Pennsylvania Company. is quoted as saying
that the railroad systems of the country
were much like a rubber belt and were
strained TO their utmost extent TO handle
the business, indications favoring another
congestion of traffic unless steps were taken
at once TO avoid it, Other railroad officials
talk in the same manner regarding the
present outlook, and that Indiana and other
parts of the country need more railroads is
apparent. 1t should BIZ borne in mind that
for the last two years very little grain,
comparatively speaking, has been handled
by the railroads in the Central Traffic AS
ISOLATION, and still, for months. there was
a congestion of business. and at present it
requires the most skillful work on the part
of traffic officials to keep traffic moving
A traffic official says new business is COM
ing up all the time. He mentioned as one
item canned goods. All over the country
there is heavy movement of canned
goods for six months OF the year, reaching
from the Pacific to the Atlantic coast, and
this is but of forty classes of freight
which have increased several hundred per
cent. within the last five years. The iron
and coal industries are very important, but
pay better rates than do iron and coal,
and while the roads are obliged to protect
the latter they also obliged to take
steps to protect the new enterprises that
are coming To the front annually on their
lines. and il is evident that the enterprises
of the United States which are constantly
developing REQUIRE increased railroad faclll-
ties. Attention is called to the fact that,
regardless of the constant depression of
railroad stocks on the exchanges, the bust
ness of the roads is constantly increasing,
and the demand for cars is now as active as
IL has been at any time the present year.
This is a pretty broad statement in view
of the fact that the year opened with a
general congestion all over the lines and
greater demand for equipment than the
railroads could supply. The difference be-
tween the two periods is that at the opening
of the year the railroads were unable to
meet the demand for cars, and they are
now fast drifting to similar conditions.
The enormous movement of freight COM
pels some of the railroads to postpone
granting demands of shippers who are be-
coming impatient for cars. The cry is
stin for more power, and railroad men
say had they locomotives enough the con-
ditions would be much improved, but there
is general fear among traffic officials that
the roads are drifting into the same
troubles from congestion of business which
they experienced last year. which goes to
show that the business of the country has
outgrown transportation facilities.

Compassed in the sweep.

company over the nonpayment of debts of
the Interstate Advertising Company. Of this
State. The bill of complaint of the Colo

that only $500 of the Indebtedness has been
paid and the remainder 81, 90 stands un-
paid and the Interstate Advertising Com

1t is also alleged that the contract and
shipment of the books were made on the
strength of telegram from Allison Max

the advertising company, and stating that
he, Mr.. Maxwell, would be responsible for
the payment.
The complainants declare that Mr.. Max
