REASONS ARE GIVEN FOR IT

On April l, the beginning of the
next building season, the bricklayers
of Richmond will advance their
scale of wages to fifty five cents an
hour. The present scale is fifty
cents. The advance is made in or
der to make the scale here cores
pond to that of the other cities in
Indiana. Local brick masons say
that they have been working for less
money than other workmen in the
same business.
Builders generally in Richmond
have been Informed of the contem-
plated increase in the scale and they
are protesting strongly against it.
They say that it will seriously han

SUNDAYS TEMPERATURE, 72
Day Was a Record Breaker-Weath-
er Statisticians Say They New
er Saw It's Equal.

According to the temperature
that has been prevailing for the
past two days, Richmond is destined
to share with Palm Beach and other
southern watering-places the title of
premier among winter resorts.
Never before in the history of To-
cal weather reports has there been
day in January when the mercury
climbed to the height of ~ and re-
ports from all over the country show
that Cuba and New Orleans are not
in it.
Saturday the wise weather men
predicted train and COLDER" but
yesterday showed how the forecast
failed. In the morning the tempera-
ture stood at 5S. At noon it had
reached its highest point, ~ de-
grees and last night, it still held
forth above sixty. Saturday seemed
to be more sultry than did yesterday.
Saturday, the seventy point was
reached, but not passed, therefore
Sunday holds all records as Jan
uary seorcher.
Leroy Browne, who has been Keep
ing tab on the weather for IA years
said last night that he never saw a
day in January that could compare
with either Saturday or Sunday, A
year ago yesterday the day started
in at 2S degrees above. AT noon, the
thermometer registered So and at
night dropped below freezing again.
In other years, it has ranged all the
way from go above to % below.
A/year ago yesterday, the morn
ing was cloudy and in the afternoon,
there were ffurries of snow. Yester-
day, trees were budding, grass was
beginning to look green and over
coats were discarded.
This weather is not getting much
for the coal dealers and the ice man
is looking down in the mouth on ac-
count of the prospects of getting his
next years supply. The fur man Is
having a thard winter and from
all appearances the general public
is about the only crowd that is en-
ioying the transplanted summer

BUSINESS men
RAISE OBJECTION
TO PROPOSED VEHICLE oRDI-
NANCE BEING PREPARED
BY Mr.. PECK.
SAY II IS UNFAIR TO Them
Many Are Asked Concerning It and
All Are Unanimously
Against It.

Much opposition has arisen among
the business men of the city to the
proposed ordinance to license all
kinds of vehicles for the up-keep of
the city's streets. This ordinance
Councilman Peck of the Fifth Ward
says he will introduce at the next
meeting of council. A Palladium rep
resentative questioned nearly a score
of business men Saturday and to all
of them he put the query "What do
you think of the proposed vehicle
ordinance?" and every man who
was questioned stated that he was
most emphatically against it. Not
only are the men who own vehicles
against the ordinance but many 9th
ers as bicycles and automobiles are
included under the head of vehicles.
If Councilman Peck presents the
ordinance to council there will be a
large and indignant lobby in the
council chamber to work against it.
The following are the sentiments
of several well known men. One is
the owner of a livery stable, one
keeps a horse and buggy for the
pleasure he derives from it, another
is connected with large manufac-
turing concern which employs sever
al draws for heavy truckage, another
employees about IL teams and anoth-
- 1aacI .ao1 .lo,1ar.
c.. A. Gaar-''The question is,
should not the concerns which do
heavy truckaee and wear out the
streets pay for the upkeep of the
streets or should the owners of light
vehicles, many of which are rubber
tired and make no impression on the
city's streets? I think the ordinance
as ] understand it is unfair. As far
as the livery stables are concerned
we are already put to a great expense
in keeping our outfits in repair and
it would hurt us to have any more
debts placed on our shoulders. If the
ordinance is passed / think that all
farmers who trade in this city
should be included
S. w. Gaar-41The proposed ordi-
nance is not fair. It gives the impress
sion that the city is very hard up.
If the citizens have to pay for keep
ing the streets in repair then the
farmers of the county should assist
them because they also nse the
streets to great extent. =
Elwood McGnire-S'I am opposed
to such an ordinance. 1t is said that
vehicles must be- licensed or the tax
duplicate increased. What is the diff
ference is only taking money out
of one pocket and putting it in an
other. If the gardners and huck-
sters would be taxed do you suppose
| Richmond would be a popular mar
ket with them? And how many out
of town people would move here

WAS SEVENTY YEARS
William p. Jewiss, Foreman at Hoo
sier Died at Home on North
Fourteenth Street.

Joseph RAINIER, well known cltl-
zen died at his home yesterday morn
ing after an illness Of about one
week.
Mr.. Rainier was born in Germany
September II, 1929, and came to this
country at the age of Is. He To-
Gated in Cincinnati and engaged in
the merchant tailoring business,
which trade he followed for
26 years. While there he married.
Mrs. Elizabeth Luken in 1854 and
with his family came to this city in
June, 1873. In 1875 Mr.. Rainier and
A. G. Luken bought the drug firm
of Potts and Company on Main
street and this firm existed until
January LIST, 1905, at which time
Rainier retired from active business.
About five or six years ago he
was stricken with paralysis but up
to three months ago it was thought
he had fully recovered. Then he was
again attacked and since then his
decline has been rapid, although
only within the last week has he
been confined to his home.
He is survived by DIR. John H. Lu-
ken, A. G. Luken, K. w. RAINIER and
Mrs. Ferd Grothaus. The funeral

templated putting up brick strue-
lures will not do so.
The brick contractors, like their
workmen are for the increase and
say that they do not think Richmond
will stop its bailding OH account of
the change. The contractors say
that they have experienced much
difficulty with their workmen on ac-
count of the present scale. When
workmen were secured from other
cities to help out in Richmond dur,
ing the busy part of the building
season, they have demanded a scale
of 55 cents per hour. 1t was nee
essary for the contractors to pay
this scale and they say it caused dis
satisfaction among the home work
men. Again, the contractors assert
that when they went away from
home with their men to put up a
building. they had to pay the scale
of wages Of the town in which they
were working. When the men re
| turned to Richmond to work they
were put on their old rate and again
there was trouble For these reasons,
and few more, the brick layers say
that the new scale viii have to do.

ma, arriving there Wednesday of the
same week After remaining IN
Pasadena four days, DIR. Weist de-
parted for home, and the following
day Mr.. Dill was stricken with pneu-
monia. Monday last, Mr.. Howard
Dih, a son of the deceased, received a
telegram from Pasadena stating that
his father was very low and Mr.. Dill
left at once for Pasadena. His trip
across the continent was race with
death, but Mr.. Dill arrived Thursday
last, two days before his father died.
Mr.. Dill many friends in this
city failed to realize that he was in
an extremely critical condition and
hopes for his life were never despair
ed of, hence the news of his death
on Saturday came in the nature of a
severe shock. The news was quick
ly spread about the streets and uni
versal sorrow was expressed.
Mr.. Dill has long been identified
with business activities In Richmond
and in the commercial world he was
regarded as a keen man of business,
honorable and true to his friends
During his lifetime Mr.. Dill amass-
ed comfortable fortune. AT the
time of his death he was president OF

HOUSE is A TOTAL WRECK
Children Were Burned and Mrs. Del
la Burgoyne, Guest, Also Hurt
Property Loss $4,000.

Mrs. John w. Cook died last even
ing as the result Of the burns she
received in an explosion of ace
tylene gas at her home, four miles
northwest of Richmond Saturday
evening. Mrs. Cook was badly
burned and although it was not at
first thought that her injuries would
prove fatal complications set In
which caused her death.
The explosion occurred at about
six O'Clock on Saturday. Mr.. Cook
and the eldest son, Frank, were at
the barn, and Mrs. Cook, the two
youngest children, Bessie and Carl,
and a guest, Mrs. Della Burgoyne,
of New Paris, were in the house,
when the lights suddenly went out.
The house was lighted with acety-
lene gas, and the plant had been re-
paired only few days ago. The boy
Frank, aged IL, came to the house at
his mothers call and went into the
cellar to investigate and discover
what was the matter with the lights.
He saw that the valve was open and
that gas had been escaping into the
house for hours. He closed the val
We and at the same time, called to
his mother, who was standing in the
pantry door, which opened into the
cellar way, that there would have
been an explosion soon, if he had not
shut off the gas. Just at that mo-
ment, the gas was ignited, probably
by the fire in the furnace, and ex-
ploded with terrific force
The concussion threw Mrs. Cook,
who was standing before an open
door, back upon the kitchen stove,
which overturned upon her, the Goals
from the fire burning her head arms
and chest She lay under the hot
stove until pulled out by her daugh-
ter, Bessie who heroically suffered
many serious burns in an attempt
to save her mothers life. She ex-
tinguished the fire which was burn
ing Mrs. Cooks clothing and dragg-
ed her out onto the veranda.
Frank Cook. who was in the cellar
in some manner escaped serious in
Jury. He was burned about the
hands and face, and his hair was
scorched. Mrs. Burgoyne was burn
ed about the head and on one hand
and was bruised by being thrown
through window by the concussion.
The youngest boy was uninjured
with the exception of two small cuts
upon one hand,
Before the extent Of Mrs. Cook IS
injuries could be ascertained, Frank
and Bessie hitched horse to their
buggy and drove with their mother
to the house of Thomas Porterfield
neae New Paris. From there telephone
calls were sent for DR.. Bramkamp

A HORSE CASE.

AT the opening of Judge AmbIer's
court In the morning, Keehner VS..
Kemp, horse deal, will occupy the
attention of the court and jury. Keeh-
ner alleges that Kemp represented a
certain horse which he bought from
the defendant as being of sound con-
dition and health, but after the pur-
chase the plaintiff found it to be af-
fiicted with all the diseases known to
veterinary science. He was forced
to sell the horse at an exceedingly low
figure, and hence asks judgment for
the loss incurred. Keehner is from
Sparta and Kemps home is at Mag
nolia. They are represented by At
torneys Briggle and Abt and Whitacre,
respectively. The case will no doubt
be watched with interest.
