TERRE HAUTE. Ind, April 49,
There will be a marriage license fam
inc in a number of Indiana counties
as the result of the unexpected early
proclamation declaring the acts of the
last session of legislature in force after
last midnight.
The county clerks of several counties
in this part of the state announce
that they will issue no licenses before
May 1. A new law requires appli-
cants for license to make written dec
laration of many facts and also re-
quires the clerk to keep a special rec
ord book of this information. The
state board of health, whose duty it
is to furnish clerks with a form of rec
ord, has not done so.
Lawyers say that as the new law re-
pealed all former statutes relating to
marriage, the clerks cannot issue Ii
censes until they are properly
equipped for the purpose.

WOULD BOND CITY
FOR Gas PLANT
ISSUE OFS2,50O,OOO is LATEST
PROPOSED
H0UGHT0N BACKS MOVEMENT
Other CounciImen Believe Los Angelo
Should Await Test of Municipal
Ownership In East Before
Going Ahead
HOUGHTON BACKS MOVEMENT

1t will probably be proposed to the
city council today that a bond issue Of
$2,500,000 be submitted to the voters OF
Los Angeles, the proceeds of which are
to be used for the purpose of construct.
| ing or purchasing a municipal gas
| plant.
The recent victories for municipal
ownership in the east have attracted
| the attention of local councilmen, and
the proposition is directly put: why
should Los Angeles not own its own
gas plant?"
What the answer will be Is not
known, nor will it be known until the
question is submitted to the council.
Councilman Houghton is behind the
new movement and as chairman of the
municipal ownership committee, he is
endeavoring to secure favorable con-
sideration of the measure.
For some time the question of munich
pal ownership of gas has been discussed
by several of the civic bodies in Los
Angeles, notably the Municipal Owner
ship club and the Good Government
league. Committees of both organiza-
tons, in joint session. have agreed that
they will ask the council to consider
the subject.
Councilman Kern of the Seventh
ward, member of the councils munich
pal ownership committee and president
of the board of public works, is going
little slow about accepting the new
idea. He believes that the city is not
yet ready to own and operate such
plant, and advises time and considera-
ton rather than hasty action.
The Seventh ward representative be-
lieves that Los Angeles can better af-
ford to wait and watch the develop
ment and success Or failure of the
municipal ownership schemes now be-
ing worked in the east than to plunge
ahead and get itself into possible
trouble.
1t has developed from investigation
that Los Angeles yet has the right to
issue bonds to the extent of $4.OO0,O0O,
exclusive of school and sewer bonds.
Several of the councilmen believe that
no bonds for such purpose should be
issued at the present time. as emergen-
cies might arise in which the city
would need large sums of money, and
would not have the right to issue the
bonds to pay for the same. They con-
slider s4,OOO,OO0 but a safe margin for
the city to work on.
On the other hand, several members
of the council are in favor of munici-
pal ownership of gas and other public
utilities, notable among whom is Coun-
Gilman Smith of the Fifth ward. Hel
has placed himself on record as strong
ly favoring municipal ownership but
wants to be sure that the city Is ready
for 1t. He thinks the voters should be
given an opportunity to decide the
question for themselves. Whether he
will agree with the Houghton plan is
not known.
The question Is of such importance
that no scheme advanced by any one
man will be likely to carry until it |
is carefully threshed out in the council
chamber, that a plan which shall be |
perfect may be evolved and presented |
to the people

was blue law town as far as saloons

hotels, cafes and dram shops every

so few as to be hardly worth a mem

and tight.
There was no hope for the thirsty
who had failed to provide against the
emergency by laying in private
stock of wet goods, except in East St.
Louis and st. Louis county.
Thousands crossed the river and
thousands more went into the country
for the express purpose of quenching
their thirsts, but many more thou

alternative of going without their ac-
customed Sunday glass of beer or
dram of liquor.

The police put on the lid with a
vengeance. The order had gone forth
that everything must close, and the
police, from captain to patrolman, put
1t into execution.
In isolated cases, where saloon keep
ers undertook to open or work the
back door game they were quickly
spotted and either arrested or forced
to close up. One stubborn saloonist
was arrested twice. He persisted in
was finally locked up until after mid
night to avoid any further trouble with
him. This was an exceptional case.
A few of the combination grocery
and saloon places undertook to accom-
modate an occasional patron, but were
generally suppressed before they had
gone very far. The saloon at the ball
park was closed and the baseball fans
shivered in the cold watching baseball
without a chance of succor.

BoYHooD DREAM REALIZED.

The following telegram from Red
ding to the San Francisco Chronicle
refers to John Hennessy, the well
man of this city and Tonopah.
John P. Hennessy will spend &c.
600 or more if necessary to see a dream
of his boyhood realized. He is a
wealthy mining man of Tonopah who
has just returned to Burnt Ranch,
Trinity county, to visit his parents
and the scenes of his youth. Burnt
Ranch to this day has no wagon road,
travel all being by trail. When he was
a boy Hennessy often said that if ever
he got to be rich he would build a wa
gop road from Burnt Ranch to COZ
meet with the road that ended in Hum
boldt county at the month Of the
South Fork. He has now come to full
fill the promise that he made himsel.
years ago. He has set twenty-five men
and as many horses at work upon the
road, which will be IA miles long and
will cost at least $4,000, for it is to
be a good highway and on an easy
grade. 1t will be a part of the road
that Trinity and Humboldt counties
haYe long wanted, and have in vain
asked the legislature to aid with an
appropriation.
When Hennessy was asked whether
the road would be a toll road he re-
pied with great emphasis, "No; it
shall be free to everybody forever

Two Goldfield miners received a

that they were Quitting for Jumbo.
They were told that there was nothing
there. This is a pretty way to build
up local industries, especially as the
Goldfielders are perfectly satisfied
with their claims and have made prep
arations for a permanent camp in or
der to develop their property. 1t may
be as great a task as that Sisyphus

and that is the development Of Carson
