the Municipal Electric Light Company have
only fairly got their plants installed, and il
would be a ruinous hardship 10 compel

II would virtually put the independent tel

pany. The Council committee that has
charge of the matter is gathering data from
other cities as 10 how such work has been
done and what the cost was, and at n later
date Will present the information 10 the
Council for action. Movements Of this kind
that are we'll started by one Council often
fail of completion, because the membership
of this body is largely changed every two
years, and the new members are not Suffi-
GENTLY familiar with the circumstances to
take up the work where the old members
left off. A campaign is now on in Rich
mond, and il is probable that several mem
bers of the Council will change, and the
pole-removal project may receive a setback
The chairman of the committee is one who
is not n candidate. and who will thus give
up his duties before the plan can be carried
through.
MANY NATURAL BEAUTIES.
Few places in Indiana probably have bet
ter material advantages than Richmond, and
it would be comparatively easy to make the
city into one of real beauty. 1t is acknowl-
edged freely that Indiana has no prettier
natural park than Glen Miller, which lies
on the east of the city. 1t was purchased
from Col. John +. Miller several years ago,
and bears his name. The land is made up
of valleys and hills in such a way that it is
ideal from a standpoint of beauty and park
purposes. a beautiful lake makes boating
possible, and many springs furnish never
ending supply of superior water. The Glen
has never been beautified to its fullest ex-
tent, because the park funds are not ade-
quate to maintain it, and at the same time
TO permit of much other work. The Park
Board now has in view some minor i'm
provements, and as soon as possible will
convert the land that is now used for COM
mercial purposes into a public playground.
Prominent landscape gardeners, who have
visited the Glen, have expressed great de-
light with its beauty and its possibilities
when the city is in such condition as fully
to develop them.
What is considered a rare opportunity for
identifying the city and providing enjoy
ment for hundreds of people who drive, is
to build driveway along the west bank of
the Whitewater river. which flows through
Richmond from north TO south, furnish
ing d natural drainage, and at the same
time providing some as beautiful views as
are to be found anywhere. 1t is urged that
the city should get possession of the ground
necessary to do this and hold it for the ben

eft of future generations. A splendid drive

abandoned road. that formerly led TO the
old National bridge before the present pre-
tentious structure put up, reclaimed.
This road is now in an unsightly condition,
and the bluffs along its western border are
lined with advertisements that are anything
but attractive. 1t is probable the City
Council will take the matter up before long.
THE DRIVES AND PARKS.
Richmond has many beautiful shaded
streets, and the roads leading out OF the
city in all directions are fairly well kept
and prove attractive to the hundreds who
have opportunity to drive during the
mer months. In addition to the Glen men,
toned above, and which is the chief city
park, Richmond has three smaller parks
South Tenth Street, South Seventh Street
and Starr. All are well kept and are popu-
lar resorts, but neither is large enough to
permit of a driveway. Starr Park was
Starr.
By the movement that is now on foot it is
hoped TO get the City Council, the CONNER
cial Club, the South Side Improvement AS
ISOLATION, the Richmond Sketch Club, the
Richmand Art Association, the Ladies
Aftermath, the Atheanea, the Tourists, the
Board of Park Commissioners and other
bodies TO join in the efforts TO beautify the
city. The first efforts along this line date
back to the University Extension Commit
tee, which gave the city course of lect-
lures on .civics and art The Tourist Club
has given much OF its time to discussions
along this line, and not long ago addressed
a lengthy communication TO the public on
the subject of civic betterment The After
math, which, discussing such subjects, has
also made a practical demonstration by
distributing flower seeds to the school chill
dren and awarding prizes for the best-kept
flower beds. The open church work Of
the South Eighth-street Friends Church
has done considerable, and a meeting of
tree lovers is soon to be held at this church.
The Richmond Art Association, which has
done so much to educate along art lines has
got into touch with the latest movement by
creating a committee on municipal art,
and there will be some display made at the
annual exhibit in June that will be instruc-
tive along this line. William Z. Jenkins,
who was recently chosen librarian of In
diana University, is chairman of the COM
mttee, and ii will be necessary to choose a
successor on account of his absence from
the city. The Art Association is a member
Of the American League for Civic Improve
ment.
All told it may be truly said there is hope
for Richmond in the way of civic better
ment. Sentiment is constantly growing and
the indications are that when the effort is
made to unite the various bodies in a gen.
eral movement 1t will be easily accom-
plshed, and that much good will result

HERE is movement on foot here
in Richmond. and it gives every
~ promise of assuming a definite
LtSIESf shape, to bring about a beautifi-
cation of the city through a con-
certed effort of all the agencies that can be
used TO that end. In the past few years
the Quaker city has risen to an enviable
position in the world of art through the an
nual art exhibits, which are freely ac-
knowledged 10 be among the best given in
the middle West, and through the work of
Messrs j. E. Bundy, Frank Girardin.
Charles Conner and others, who are known
as the "Richmand group" of artists In
view of this progress along the line of real
art, it is considered remarkable that prac-
tically nothing has been done here along
art lines in a material way. Not only has
this line. but the city authorities have per-
mitted the running, and in many cases, the
destruction of many beautiful shade trees,
for which the city is famous. This has
been done by the various companies string
ing wire over the city for telephone and
electric light purposes. No mercy has been
shown the trees, and outside some protests
from property owners and others, there has
been a wonderful laxness on the part of the
public and the officials. In addition to the
preservation of the trees and increasing
their number, there is much more that can
be done about the city, and to which prac-
tically no attention has been given
But Just now sentiment has set in strong
ly the other way, and not only is there de-
sire to save the trees and provide more of
them, but at the same time to bring about
changes in other ways that will be bene-
fetal The city is burdened with hun
dreds of unsightly poles and billboards and
some old buildings, the removal of which
would greatly enhance the beauty of the
city. The City Council has taken the mat
ter of surplus poles in hand, and it is hoped
in time to rid Main street. which is the
principal thoroughfare of the city, of all
poles and wires. At present the street
largely resembles a deadening. The
plan is TO have all wires buried in con-
Quits This will no doubt be the work of
years, as the enterprise is one of much
magnitude. There is no doubt that all the
companies which have lines on Main street
believe the change would be good one and
favor it, but they do not wish to be hurried

YACHTSMAN ARRESTED.
Skipper Alleges That He Was Wrong
fully Accused.

New York. Feb. George B. Camp
bell, son of the late Colonel T. c. Camp
bell, of Ohio, has been arrested on COM
plant of Charles F. Harris, who was
skipper of the yacht Roamer, which
was wrecked on a desolate island in the
Bahamas last December. The Camp
bells were cruising in southern waters
in an effort to restore the colonel's
health but exposure incident to the des
tructiOn of the yacht caused his death.
Harris says that when the yacht
reached Delaware bay on the outward
voyage, George Campbell appeared be
fore a United States commissioner and
swore out a warrant against the skip
per on a charge of mutiny. Harris, the
steward and a sailor were locked up 81
days. when they were acquitted. Har-
ris denies having mutinied and asserts
that the trouble was due to the fact
that Campbell and a guest interfered
with the handling of the yacht con-
stantly so that he finally offered to go
ashore He specially complains of the
oil ieetionable character of the cells in
Delaware where he and his associates
we're confined. He says they were iron
cages such as are used for wild animals,
and that while confined there they were
rot permitted TO communicate either
with their families. friends or counsel,
or with one another. Campbell was re-
leased on bail.
