We have no doubt that our morning
contemporary was sincere In its argu-
ment that money spent in operating
a city plant Is kept at home. 1t Is a
good argument, but our friend was I'M
fortunate In choosing for an illustra-
ton OF it's argument The buying of
coal. 1t said that the city plant
bought its coal OF home dealers and
thereby kept its money in the city.
But the said part of 1t Is that such is
not the case. To get further details
ask the local coal men who submitted
bids and then learned that the coal for
the city plant was being bought else
where at higher figure than was bid
by Richmond dealers. When inquiry
was made as to the reason of this,
the local dealers were informed that
their bids had been mislaid and the
contract was let to the lowest bidder
on record. OF course the parties let
ting the contract could have tele-
phoned the local dealers that their
bids were lost, but--.-Item.
The above editorial from our es-
teemed and reliable contemporary
would occasion us much regret and
humiliation, were 1t not for the fact
that we took the trouble to make sure
of our grounds, before stating that
the coal used by the Municipal Light
Plant was procured of local dealers.
The coal used at present by the Light
Plant is furnished under contract by
Shera and Starr, local dealers, and
their contract holds good until June
of this year. The coal Is supplied at
the rate of one dollar and ninety-five
cents per ton, and Is of the grades
known as nut and slack. We pub
lish these statistics not only for the
benefit of our readers, but also in or
der to save the Item any trouble in
looking UP the real facts in the case,
20 as to give its readers not only the
most reliable news as Is its strict GUS
tom. Naturally having settled any
doubt as to the fact that the coal used
by the Municipal Plant is bought of
local dealers, the above editorial of
the Item admits that our argument for
retaining the Light Plant on account
OF the money 1t keeps here. is good.
Therefore the Item will in all proba-
bility become as ardent a supporter of
retaining the plant as is the Palla-
dunn.

STILL At CONNERSv|LLE
William Stevens is Trying to Arrange
With Fayette County Court
About His Divorce.

William Stevens, the coIored man
arrested a few days ago for bigamy,
is still in Connersville trying to ar
range his badly muddled affairs.
He safes that he will pay the
costs due the court when his divorce
case against Mrs. Stevens No. 1 was
acted upon in 1902. BY making this
payment he will secure his divorce
and then, he says, he will go to Green
Vile, O. and make an attempt to re-
marry Mrs. Stevens No. 2, who is a
white woman. There is no question
in the mind of prosecutor Jessup that
Stevens is technically guilty of big
amy but he is convinced Of the alb
sence of any criminal intent on the
part of Stevens, SO he will not prose
cute him.

THE FULL PENALTY.

II Charles Hammond, better known
rs Pop Corn Charley" Is found gull
ty of the charges for which he is I'M
der indictment by the grand jury, he
should receive the full penalty of the
law. Any man who deliberately con-
tributes to the moral degradation OF
young girls should be treated with no
mercy. Such man should be placed
In the penitentiary where he will
have no further opportunity to prac-
tice his vile methods. Several months
ago great deal of
attention was directed to
the case of Gus Rahke. a noto-
rious gambler. in Indianapolis. Rahke
was convicted and sent to the peni-
Tertiary for contributing to the down.
fall of sixteen year old girl
The charges against Hammond at
first sight seem to be far worse than
the one for which Rahke was convict
ed, though the methods of both men
in accomplishing their purpose were
very similar. Rahke succeeded in ac-
complishing the ruin of young
working girl by loaning her more
money than she could repay him.
while Hammond is. charged with en-
ticing little girls to shed where he
keeps his supplies. by promising to
give them candy. So far Ave indict-
ments have been found against Ham,

assault and battery with criminal in

The offence consisted it is alleged by Assist

Durand swore that Hepner refused 10 employ

insisted that he knew all of the mysteries of
