MAKING CONTRACTS
OFFICIALS OF TWO ROADS CON-
TEND THAT THE RULING
AGAINST NEWSPAPER TRANS
PORTATION is UNJUST.

The C. c. & l.. has begun making
advertising contracts with Indiana
newspapers payable in Transports
tion, as formerly, except that the
transportation SO issued will be good
only within the boundaries of the
State. In making these contracts,
the road has joined with the Monon
in defying the Interstate Commerce
Commission. which has interpreted
the Hepburn rate law to mean that
nothing but cash may be accepted by
the railroads for transportation. The
G.. c. & l.. and the Monon regard this
ruling as unjust and declare that the
law provides that money or it's equi-
valent shall be accepted. The Big
Four has announced that after jan
uary l it's advertising in newspapers
will be paid for in cash and not in
transportation.

nearly five years. since his conviction
of the murder Of William Marsh Rice,
an aged Texas millionaire, in New

In announcing the Communication
Governor Higgins issued the follow
ing memorandum: Albert T. Pat
rick was convicted of the murder OF
William NJ. Rice and the judgment of
conviction was anirmed by divided
court. 1t is not claimed that Patrick
committed the murder in person. but
that he procured the act to be done.
He was convicted principally on the

terfering with the judgment of death
pronounced against the defendant.
but three of the seven judges OF the
court of appeals were 30 strongly OF
the opinion that errors were commit
ted at the trial which were substan-
TALLY prejudicial to the rights of Pat
rick that l feel that the death penalty
ought not, under all the circum-
stances, to be inflicted. In view Of all
these, and the grave doubts expressed
by these judges. ! am satisfied that

the extreme penalty of the law, AID
commute his sentence to imprison-

Patrick was convicted March %.

then his fight has been continuous. In

Annual Event of Worthy C.1 :. :
table Organization Takes
Place Next Friday.
NEED OF GOOD SUPPORT
IN ADDITION TO BEING SOURCE
OF ENTERTAINMENT THE
DANCE WILL RAISE FUNDS
THE POOR.

Members of the Richmond Flower
Mission are now making preparations
for their annual ball, which this year
as last, is to be given in the Coliseum
on Friday night, December %, and
since it is the one money-malAing en-
terprise undertaken by the mission it
is important that it shall be a finan-
cial success.
The Flower Mission is one of the
most useful and practical branches
of our associated charities. It's work
is among the sick poor, with especial
attention to children, and its services
are in constant demand throughout
the year. Medicines, clothing. the
hire of nurses, the furnishing of prop
er food for inyalids, call for a large
expenditure of money and the society
has great difficulty in meeting all its
financial responsibilities The growth
of the city and the natural increase
in the number of people needing
charitable aid add to the duties and
make a larger fund necessary each
year.
People who are in touch with the
work and know it's value and impor-
tance are liberal in responding to the
missions appeals, but others who
might promote the interests of the
beautiful charity and would do SO if
they took serious thought often show
a curious Indifference. I'VE shall
be absent from the city, I'VE do not
attend balls" I'VE are too old for
such gayeties,' are some of the excu-
ses offered. But let them buy tick
cts in any case. If they do not at
tend the ball themselves they can
find young people on every hand who
will gladly take their ticket the man
will gladly take their places. The
price of a ticket to this entertain
ment is a small contribution to so
good cause, and none who make
offerings for chari3v's sake should
pass this opportunity by.

has been under has been practically
too much for him. There's no ques-
ton about that
II is said that Patrick has lately
acquired mania for writing letters

Advisory Board Members Need Not
Qualify Within Ten Days After
Their Election.

The following will explain itself
Mr. Charles w. Jordan,
Richmond. Ind.
Dear Sir:-I have yours of the 14th
inst, asking in regard to the failure
of township advisory boards to quail
fly within ten days after the election
If such failure was due to misunder-
standing on their part as to the com
mencement of their terms of Office,
and it was their bonafide intention
thereafter to qualify and enter upon
the discharge of their duties. they
may do so within a reasonable time I:
otherwise, the general rule that a
person elected to Office forfeits the
same upon neglecting to qualify with
in the proper time controls.
Your other injuries involve legal
questions which are highly doubtful,
and in the present uncertain state of
the law. 1 would not feel justified in
expressing an opinion. l suggest that
you consult your township attorney
and be governed by his advise.
Very truly yours.

Attorney General.

Chicago. Dec. 2O.-Shippers them

road men before Interstate Commerce
Commissioners Harlan and Lane here
the country. If the shippers would
only unload their goods from cars in
stead of using them for storage pur.
poses, the railroad witnesses argued,
there would be cars enough, or nearly
enough to meet all demands.
Chicago felt a distinct shock of
Rooseveltian strenuosity in connection
with the hearing, when, at the Presi-
Dental command to rush the coal
famine evidence" battery of graph
OphoneS was hustled into the Majestic
Hotel that the testimony taken acfoss
the street in the Federal building
migth be transcribed in record time.
Relays of stenographers were kept
flying from the the federal building to
the hotel all day, their note books fill
ed with testimony hot from the wit
nesses lips. Up to the graphophones
raced the stenographers, shouted the
testimony into the machines at tpe
rate of $50 woris minute and turned
the cylinders over to other stenogra-
piers, who at top speed, transcribed
the words with their typewriters.
Thirty minutes after the session ad-
journed all the TESTIMONY was ready
for transmission to Washington, but q
trail of frayed stenographers filed out
of the Federal building and big bat
terry of graphophones was suffering
from hot journals.

QUIET OBSERVANCE
PROMISED TODAY
Senior Class Day at High
School Looks Good to Pass
Without a Scrap.
JUNIORS ARE TO BANQUET
THEY ARE MAKING GREAT PRE-
PARATIONS FOR THE EVENT
IN THE l. o. o. r. HALL THIS
EVENING.

This is Senior class day at high
school and it is going to be observ
ed in a very pleasant way. There
will be no Senior public but the Jun.
iors will give their annual banquet
to the fourth year classmen. This
will take place in the I. o. 0. F. hall
Miss Katie Moelk will serve and
there will be dancing. The Juniors
will spend the day in decorating es-
pecially for the affair.
For years past it has been the GUS
tom for the Seniors and Juniors to
go to school on class day, the same
as on other days but from now on the
two upper classes will probably
spend their class days out of school.
The school board not long ago made
a ruling that there should be no DEM
onstrations of class spirit at any
time or any where on the High school
premises. This was pretty big
jump from the old rule and so they
have decided to have their class day
celebrations out Of school. The Sen
iors have the privilege of wearing
their colors today and the Juniors
have the privilege of trying to take
them off. This however will not be
attempted as the Juniors are a very
wise class. Their absence from
school will be marked as "unexcus-
ed and only demands a note from
home.
The pins that the Seniors have
been waiting on SO long came yes
terday and now they are happy
They are of solid gold with a black
back ground on which is r. H. S. 'O7
in gold. They are small but show
up quite well.
