Muncie's Long Vexing Nat
=. = ural Gas Contest to
be Settled.
IN THE FEDERAL COURT
Ordinance Seeking to Cancel Con-
tract Between Company and City
the Point at Issue.
Various Matters of Interest to Hoos-
Ter Readers Eriefly Present
ed Here.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 16.-The
fight between the people of Muncie
and the Muncie Gas, Light and Fuel
company over the question of rates
and the placing of meters has been
transferred to the federal court where
application has been made by the COM
pany for an injunction to restrain the
city council and city officers from pro-
ceeding to pass a pending ordinance
which seeks to cancel the contract
between the city and the company.
The contest between the company
and its customers was brought to
head by the action of the company in
shutting off consumers who refuse
to place their meters inside their hous-
es. When patrons refused to do this
the company began shutting them off.
An injunction was obtained from the
Delaware county court to prevent the
company from doing this. The council
then took the matter up and on Feb.
s an ordinance was introduced to re-
peal the ordinance which constituted
the contract between the city and the
company.

A Temporary Suspension.

Matthews, Ind, Feb. lev. D. Fra
zier, national bank examiner, has TAX
en- charge of the FIRST National bank
here, which failed TO open Saturday.
That the closing of the bank is not a
failure, but merely a suspension for
a few days, seems to be the sentiment
of business men and local depositors
Some few depositors seem to censure
President Wood for mismanagement
but the majority of them have conf
dence in him, and those who know
state that all depositors will be paid
in full The leading directors an
nounce that the bank will be reorgan-
lied and reopened at once.

FOREIGN AID
Is Being Offered Freely to PIucky
Japan.

Toxic, Feb. 16.-Core Takahira, the
officially advised his government that
he is receiving numerous offers of
large contributions to the war fund
from Americans, and requests instruc-
tons as to the policy CT the govern
ment in the matter 1t is considered
probable that Japan will refuse to &C
cept this pronered aid, while stating
that the e. ennaat . deeply gratif1ed
at this ana other expressions of Amer
lean sympathy.
The cabinet will consider the que3-
ton and formally instruct Minister
Takahira shortly. Many applications
for permission to enlist in the Jap-
anese army and navy are coming from
various parts Of the world.
Some OF those anxious 10 hght Tor
Japan have appI ed personally to the
military authorities here. Among
this nun Der is icelaaed q Turkish Of
ficer. All Of these applications have
been politely but fr-ly resced. No
foreigners viii be allowed to partici-
pate in the military or naval opera
Enormors military activity contin-
ues, but the government carefully con
ceals it's plans and does not indicate
the date OF any projected movement.
Although every moment of delay en-
ables the Russians TO become better
prepared for the conflict, the Japanese
apparently are uncoLcerned and con-
fdent They fully realize that the
limited capacity of the trans Siberian
railway, the distance of the Russians
from their base of supplies and the
lack of communication by sea sets linn
itations on the proposed accomplish
ments of Russia in Manchuria and ST
! IBERIA They feel that no danger at
! taches in that quarter and are await

Speaker Cannon emerged from the

ran plump into q crowd of newspaper
correspondents, says the New York
Tribune's Washington correspondent.
You might just as well give up"
one of them remarked. 1--WE are sorry
to hold up the speaker and rob him of
all he knows, but the news field is bare
and famine stares us in the face"
Boys, l don't know blessed thing"
he exclaimed regretfully, land the only
thing | can do is to set 'em up" He
reached into the inside pocket of his
long black coat and fished out q hand
full of cigars. Some of them were little,
short fellows, some long and attenuat-
ed, and one was a monster, black as
charcoal and half as large around as
your wrist
You can take your pick" he said as
be extended his offering. "Some OF
those were given me, some / bought,
and one l smuggled''
The first man that drew captured the
big fat one.
You're q smuggler's accessory" said
the speaker. THE rest can choose in
safety"

at Mrs Roosevelt's musicale. They
came into the corridor and stood irreso-

to go to leave their wraps. One of the
watchmen, seeing the quandary of the
orientals, leaned forward to direct
negro attendant to show the guests to
the dressing room for diplomats.

right TO touch me-"
The Waterman tried to explain. The
diplomats would not listen. They pro

attracted by the fuss and gathered
around tie excited Chinese. They turn

go to their legation, in which event
formal explanations from the White

The captain OF the White House

said, Come with me-" His voice was
authoritative, and though it rather sug-

than conducted to a dressing room, the
three attaches went without another
word The incident seemed to spoil
the evening for the trio of orientals.
They listened gloomily to the music
and went home early.
