MILITARY MANEUVERS
IRE COSTLY AFFAIRS
Much Criticism Over Enormous
Expenditure of Joint Maneu-
verS Last Summer.
sneoia1 10 the Indiananolis Ionrnal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The joint mill
tary maneuvers held at West Point, KY.
last summer, in which the troops of the
Indiana Guard participated. cost the gov
eminent 100000. This enormous expendi-
ture has excited a great deal of criticism
among members of military committees of
the House and Senate. Complaint is di-
rected against the recently created general
STAFF. 1t appears that the money covering
the cost Of the maneuvers was taken from
the general fund, and that the war Off
Gals have accounted for the expenditures
only I'm general terms. Congress will not
permit the department in the future to
make such expenditures without giving
detailed account of how the money was
disbursed.
In the estimates recently forwarded to
the House there is a recommendation that
T.S00O00 be made available for joint ma
be allowed, but IL will be accompanied by
provision requiring an accounting of the
funds in detail Five hundred thousand
dollars will probably not cover the entire
cost of the West Point maneuvers. Several
claims are pending, including that filed by
Governor Durbln on behalf Of the State for
the sum of about 5000, representing the
expenditures incident TO sending n battery
OF the Indiana National Guard to the Ken
lucky encampment.

MATTRESSES FINED FOR A
LAUGH WON'T STAY THEM
Enter Suit Against Restaurant
Keeper for Amounts Penalized
Say They VIII Laugh.
PROCEEDINGS A JOKE

If you so happen to enter a downtown
restaurant where young women are en-
ployed TO juggle with the dishes and no
tice funereal-like air they have, do not be
surprised. Laughing is not permitted IL
is probable that you have thought
up a good one TO spring on the maid
as she leans confidingly over your
shoulder. but don't spring it. While the
laugh might follow, il would, in the end,
only tend to increase the funeral gloom
For the young woman, by laughing, which
she would be compelled TO do by common
politeness, would run the risk Of losing her
position well as being fined.
Laughing is not permitted. If the maid
feels compelled TO laugh she had better
take the gurgle by the throat and choke
it gently and firmly until it expires. Or
else she might hold it until she can reach
the roof, where she can turn loose her laugh
and furnishes amusement for occupants OF
other buildings. This seems like good
plan, but do not place temptation In the
way of the girls. Save all of the Joe Mil
lers you have dug out of the "a almanac
and take them home to the family.
Gertrude Guynn, Nellie Ryan and Bessie
Smart told Justice SmOck Tuesday That
the proprietor of Whites restaurant fined
them 80 cents apiece for laughing in the
kitchen. They refused TO stand the fine ana
quit. They paid but the fines were not
RENTED. They think ii would be laugh

Smock is now studying up on Laughs L

CLEVELAND WILL HAVE
THREE CENT FARE IN CITY
McKenna Ordinance Passed by
Council and Will Be Accepted
by the Company.


CLEVELAND, o., Jan. 13.-An agree
ment between Mayor Johnson and the Off
Gals of the Cleveland Electric Railway
Company for the establishment Of the g.
cent fare within the city of Cleveland In
accordance with the terms of the McKenna
ordinance, passed by the City Council Mon
day night will be ratified by the directors
Of the railroad company at a meeting
which has been called for tomorrow after
noon at 2:3O o'clock. The agreement is prac-
tically a full victory for Mayor Johnson in
the fight that he has waged for nearly three
years.
The McKenna ordinance, il was learned
to-day, was drawn with the full cOgnizance
and consent of the railroad officials. 1t pro-
vides for a straight three-cent fare within
certain limits These limits are at points
coextensive with the city limits. and are at
no point more than half mile within the
municipal boundaries. Within these limits
a straight three-cent fare is TO be charged.
This does not entitle passenger to a trans
fer. For "a transfer a fve-cent fare must be
paid, as at present.
Without the McKenna limits passengers
from the extremeties Of the city and from
the suburbs, are TO pay five cents as at
present. On this fare, likewise, no transfer
will be given. For a transfer excess fare
of two cents will be charged, making the
total fare seven cents.
The result of a careful study of the pas
sengers now carried on the lines of the
company shows that IS per cent. will pay
three cents, y per cent. will pay cents
and per cent. will pay cents.
It is said tonight that the street car
c0mpany's acceptance of the McKenna ordi-
nance was upon an understanding that all
franchises now held shall, upon their eX-
piratiOn be extended for twenty years.

MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi. Jan. 1S-James
]. Hill. president of the Great Northern
road was the principal speaker before the
State Agricultural convention to-day. He
dwelt especially upon the necessity of seek
ing new markets in the Orient TO offset the

its colonies. This, he declared, will create
a surplus OF from twenty to thirty million
bushels of wheat annually in the North
west. on the average. unless new markets
are opened. Manitoba. which twenty years
ago did not raise a bushel of wheat, last
year raised 100000 bushels. and I'm ten
years can raise enough TO supply the En-
glish demand. which viii be admitted al y
cents per bushel lower than wheat from the
United States. The prospect is encouraging
While exports OF Hour and wheat to the
Orient have now only begun. the effect upon
the market is already felt. Authorities say
it has increased the price of wheat from
to cents bushel.
