COUNCIlMEN APpREHENSIvE
It is Necessary That the People Vote
ON the Matter Before the Prop
erty Could be Disposed Of
By Council.

VI
At the close of the secret session
Of council last evening the council
men were treated With "a genuine
surprise. just as the members were
putting on their oSercoats and pre-
pairing to leave the council chamber
Mayor Zimmerman announced that
he had proposition to submit.
His announcement in brief was
that certain out of tom parties had
made an offer of $250,0o0 for the
Richmond Municipal Lighting and
Power plant. He also stated that the
proposition had been submitted to
him and the members of the board of
public works. According to Mayor
Zimmerman the parties referred to
are ready to give bond, if the city
will consent to the sale Of the prop
erty, that the present rate for COM
mercial lighting will not be increased
for any number Of years the city may
designate, and that it guarantees to
light the treets at rate less than it

lights. What this rate would be was
not stated.
Mayor Zimmerman also said that
if council thought favorably Of the
proposition he stood ready to produce
at once the parties who have made
the offer, SO that negotiations could
begin without waste Of time.
The Municipal plant could not be
disposed of by council without the
consent of the people and if the mat
ter is given serious consideration it
will be necessary to call special
election.
The Municipal plant when it first
began operations promised to be a
loosing investment, but for the past
year or more it has been on paying
basis, and at the present time the
board of public works is having plans
prepared for the enlargement of the
plant to meet the demands made on
it. When it was decided at a special
electi0to build the plant the vote in
favor OF building was at a ratio of

TWO OWE STATE
INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE
REPORTS ON AUDITORS.
J. o. Henderson. a Democrat Owes
the Treasury Over Ninety
Thousand Dollars.
TWO OWE STATE

Indianapolis, March 10. (SpeciaD
The report of the invetigating COM
mittee that has been at work in the
State Auditors office, with reference
to fees alleged to have been retained
illegally by past Auditors of State,
has been filed with Governor Hanly.
This report: covers the term of j. O.
Henderson, Democrat, Auditor from
1891 to 1885,, and part of the term
of A. c. Daily, Republican, Auditor
from 1895 to 1890, and shows in brief
that the total of $115,630.59 is due
the State from these two men. OF
that sum $23, 3,66774 is alleged to be
due from Daily and $91, ,962.s5 from
Henderson.
The report does not 60 back far
ther than Henderson's S time, nor does
it include the next Auditor after Dali
ly, who was w. III. Hart. During
Hart s term no fees were retained by
him, as the fee and salary law of
1895 had become effective, and his
reports were all made on time.

NO OFFICIAL AcIi0A
cENTEEN1AL ASSOCIATION rs
HANDICAPPED.
On Account of Weather There Will
be No More Meetings Till Sec
ond Monday in April.

No official action was taken at last
nights meeting of the Centennial
Association, owing to the small at
tendance, and it was decided to not
mold another meeting until the second
Monday night in, April This done
in order to get rid of the weather
"hoodoo," which has stood in the
way of the meeting almost from the
first
1t is believed that after the first
of April, with the opening of spring
many people who could not get out
huch a night as last night, will be
able to attend and more enthusiasm
will be shown. In the meantime the
work of the committees is going for
ward and the outlook for successful
celebration is of the best nature.
There will be many matters of inter-
est to come before the meeting in
April and it is the intention to make
that meeting one of the best yet held
and set all departments of the work
in motion. Those who are directing
the observance fell much encouraged
over the ready response that has
been made by.aH. those who have been
called upon to assist

s1OO VOTED FOR ATTORNEY
Council Prepares to Fight the Suit
of Fremont Clifford Against
The City.

In the open session of council last
night Councilman O'Neal introduced
an amendment to the ordinance
declaring the north half of the Fifth
Ward "dry' which was to the eff
feet of declaring the entire ward a
resident portion of the city. The
amendment was really new or
dinance and council refused to con-
slider it in any other light, so Mr..
O'Neal was instructed to have his
amendment drawn up again and pre-
sented at the next session.
The case of Clifford versus the
City of Richmond will soon be tried
in the Hancock County court, Green
field, Ind, and last evening, under a
suspension of the rules, an ordinance
was introduced appropriating 800
for the expenses of witnesses and an
attorney to assist Mr.. Gardner in the
case.

Council at that time refused to al
low the bill and G. HI. Knollenberg,
who was city clerk, went to the COM
pany andoffered to makes settlement
on the basis of the old rate, 1917
cents per 1000 feet. The Richmond
Natural Gas Company refused to
consider the city's offer.
Since that time the gas company
has presented no bills to the city for
gas consumed until a few days ago.
Soon the so cent gas rate was estab-
lished, last fall, the board Of public
works ordered the gas company to
cease furnishing gas to the city,
which order was complied with.
Council last night placed itself on
record as being opposed to paying the
bill of $639.45, which includes the 10
percent discount. The case was re-
ferred to City Attorney Gardner to
investigate on the advisability of the
city offering to make a settlement
again with the Richmond Natural
Gas Company on the basis Of 1912
cents per 1000 feet, and to allow the
company to bring suit in case it re-
fused to make a settlement on this
basis.

COUNCIL REFUSES TO PAY
For Six Years Municipality Has Been
Using Gas Without Paying For
,It-Suit May Result.

The Richmond Natural Gas Com
pany now has a bill against the City
of Richmond amounting to $639.45,
which has been outstanding for the
past six years. The gas company
wishe a settlement. Last evening
council discussed the bill, which has
received an airing from time to
time since 1900, and the sentiment of
councilmen seemed to be to test the
case. in the courts.
In 1900 the Richmond Natural Gas
Company raised the rate on gas
from 1917 cents per thousand feet to
25 cents, and one month after the 25
cent rate went into effect the city
was presented with bill for gas con-
sumed in that time at the new price.

MORE FACTS ARE LEARNED
Murderer OF the Davis Woman Says
She Did Not Treat Him and
Family Right.

The police are Of the opinion that
the true cause of the fatal shooting
Of Emma Davis by Mack Profit last
Friday night has not yet been given
They are more or less Of the opinion
that the crime was committed on ac-
count of jalousy.
AT police headquarters it is believ-
ed that Profit had been going with
the Davis woman for some time past
but she had jilted him short time
previous to Friday last and that
Profit had brooded over her action.
It is thought that when Profit re-
turned to his home Friday night and
found the Davis woman in the sit
ting room with thee colored men he
became very jealous and the con-
temptuous manner in which she
greeted him angered the man beyond
bounds.
IF the Davis woman had not gone
into Profits room after he had
asked her to cease making so much
noise it is probable that there would
have been no trouble. The police
think that the woman, not content
with jilting Profit wished to "add
insult to injury" and it was for this
purpose that she taunted him. 1t
was more than Profit, who is a ner-
vous, high strung man, could stand
and in a crazy passon he shot her.
. While. talking to a newspaper re-
porter at the county Jail, Profit re-
marked: Emma had not been treat
ing me or my folks right for long
time and I was mad at her, Officer
Edwards states that some time ago
Proffitt created quite a sensation by
indulging in a little "gun play" near
his brothers restaurant on North
Eighth Street. He was asked what
he meant by shooting and replied
that he thought some one was trying
TO break into the restaurant.
