The grand jury spent yesterday in

The morning was put in at the county

FACTORY MEN
AGAINST SALE
Laboring Glasses View the
Proposed Deal in Its Prop
er Light.
MUST BE HIGHER RATES.
THE EASTERN CAPITALISTS BY
THEIR OWN ADMISSION CAN.
NOT MAKE MONEY ON TWO
LOSING PLANTS.

Not only does it appear that ma
jority of the Richmond business men
and manufacturers are pronounced in
their sentiments against the proposed
sale of the municipal electric light
plant, but the factory employees of the
city, the men who really compose the
bone and sinew of a community and
make it possible for all business to
prosper, are apparently against the
sale by large majority
The Palladium has talked to many
factory men during the past week
Some of these own their own homes
which are lighted by electricity be-
cause of the low rate that has pre-
vailed since Richmond established a
lighting plant of it's own and offered
competition to the private corporation.
They feel that whenever the city shall
let go of its plant, even though il shall
be conducted without profit, that the
time will be here soon when high rates
for electric lighting will prevail. The
factory employees like many other
citizens view the great desire of the
Eastern capitalists to grab the city's
light plant with a feeling of alarm.
Mr.. Witherby the representative of
the Eastern capitalists" said factory
man yesterday, has admitted that his
company is losing money month after
month. He claims also that the city
plant is losing money. Admitting
that his statement is true, then how
does he expect his own losing COM
pany to profit by taking aboard an
other losing venture? There must be
a decided increase in the rates to do it
and if the high rates are not put in
force now, there will be some manner
by which the new company will ar
range in year or so to repudiate its
contract with the city and get a new
deal. Then council will not be in a
position To dictate. There will be 10
competing plant to the private com
pany and as the city'G streets and the

BLODGETT PICKS TICKET
DOPE ON THE CONVENTION
Well Known Political Writer Does Not
Think That Judge Comstock Will Be
Nominated Asan-Says e. E. Neal
is Doubtful.

Billy Blodgett, political writer fol
the Indianapolis News, last night pick
ed a ticket which he thinks will be
nominated at the state convention OF
Republicans next week. The tick
ct follows:

Appellate Judges, So,.shern District
1.-TWO to elect)-
Ward II. Watson, Charlestown.
w. ID. Robinson, Princeton.
Then in way of comment he says:
Though it is reasonably certain the
above ticket will be nominated, there
is question as to two parts of it. The
odds at the present time are in favor
of Fitzpatrick for Clerk of the Su
preme Court, put there is an element
working hard for f. K. Neal, that may
change that part of the ticket as here
set forth And the same thing is true
i'm the race between Judge Heaton OF
FIT Wayne, and Judge Monks of Win
chester. for judge of the Supreme
Court in the Fourth district.

BOARD MAY NOT
IMPROVE PLANT
Expenditure of $4,000 as
Contemplated May Not Be
Made for Some Time.
TWO REASONS FOR IT
OPINION OF CITY ATTORNEY is
WAITED AND 1T is FELT THAT
PEOPLE DO NOT WANT PLANT
ENLARGED. .....

For the time being there will be no
action taken by the Board of Public
Works on the contemplated improve
ment of the Municipal Light Plant
1t is also far from improbable that
there will be any money expended in
Improving the plant for two or three
years. This has been brought about
by two reasons. The first Is the opin.
ION OF City Attorney A. M. Gardner
that the plant cannot be improved
without the consent of the people
The second reason is the desire of the
Board to wait and see the result OF
the present agitation for the sale OF
the plant.
Mr.. Gardner has not yet submitted
a written report to the Board on the
legality of improving the plant with
out holding special election but he
has made verbal statements to the
effect that the people must first give
their consent. The members of the
Board of Public Works have made
two junketing trips for the purpose
of inspecting new machinery to be
Installed in the plant. and even went
so far as to have a consulting engi.
neering firm in Dayton prepare plans
make estimates and receive bids for
the improvement of the plant. TIE
board says that it went to this ex.
pensc because il was instructed to
do SO by council.
The report of the Dayton engineers
has never been made and one mem,
her of the Board stated yesterday
that they would not be asked to do SO
until there was material change In
the existing state of affairs Just
what expense the city would be pu,
TO in making the Improvement pro.
posed by tho Board of Public Works
is not definitely known but it is esti.
mated that the cost would be In the
naighborhood of $4,000.

Private Consumers Will Get
Cheaper Ice This Summer
Than Ever Before
BIG USERS TO BENEFIT
EACH COMPANY DENIES START
ING THE CUT RATES-lNNO-
CENT PUBLIC LOOKS ON AND
SMILES BROADLY.

Inc war is on.
! Three separate ice companies
found the old rates too high and cut
ting was commenced yesterday by the
announcement on the part of the I'm
ion Ice Company, that hereafter pri-
vate consumers may buy ice in hun
dred pound lots at % cents hun
dred. and in lots of less than one hun
dred pounds, thirty cents. This is a
cut of from five to ten cents in the old
rate and virtually starts the fight for
the ice business of Richmond.
| When asked as to what action
would be taken by the Independent
Company, in regard to meeting the
rate of the Union Ice people, Manager
Johnson stated that the rates of his
company will be reduced to meet those
of the rival concern, although they
will not be placed any lowet He
says that he was not in favor of start
ing an ice war, but since it is here, his
customers will have the benefit of the
decrease.
Who Started Cutting?
| Manager Rettig, Of the Union Ice
Company, states that it was not his
company that commenced the rate
carving, but the other two firms cut
first, and in order to hold his bust
ness, he was forced to do likewise.
| He charges the other companies with
cutting rates to some customers and
maintaining their old rates to others
and this he says the Union Ice Com
| pany discovered and now lowers its
rates to meet the lowest being given
| by the other firms.
|, 1t is evident that the war will be
long and bitter, and if the present rate
| cutting continues, consumers will be
| he oI,y ones to benefit. Ice sold in
large quantities to groceries, meat
markets and saloons, can now be
bought for from twenty-five to fifty
per cent cheaper than last summer
and for private use, it costs about rs
per cent. less than before.
Shera & Starr, with a supply of nat
ural ice only, are retailing it at from
ten to twenty-five cents a hundred
pounds, but this company does not en-,
ter into competition with the other
two firms, except in the wholesale
trade. The Union Ice Company sells
both artificial and natural and the In.
dependent Company sells only the ar
tificial, but it intends to make a
strong bid for wholesale business,
charging but fifteen cents per hun.
dred pounds for the same quality ice
that is sold to private families in small
lots for thirty cents.

HOW CHIMES ARE PLAYED.
"kEY BOARD" OF WOODEN LEV
Frs MANIPULATES SET OF
GREAT BELLS-PERFECT AD-
JUSTMENT.

The chimes for Reid Memorial
church are complete. No sound will
issue from the great chime tower,
however, until the morning of May 13,
the day of dedication when a pro-
fessional chimer from the Meneeley
Bell Foundry, Troy, n. Y. will Off
ciate for the first time.
Despite the fact that the great bells
constituting the Reid chimes have a
total weight of more than ten tons,
they we're set up and connected with
the keyboard mechanism that controls
them, within the space of one week.
The chime room occupies that part of
the beautiful stone tower that is flank
ed on all four sides with graceful
Gothic windows which are to remain
unified with glass.
A rectangular frame, twelve feet in
heighth sustains the chimes, two
bells at each corner and in the cen
ter the largest bell of the group
which may be set ringing through
the agency of the chime keyboard
or tolled by pulling the rope that ex-
tends downward to the first floor of
tlle Church.
The spring-tongues of the chime bells
are attached to chains which run on
pulleys to a common point, the chains
then extending downward through iron
pipes, a distance of twenty-five feet
where another tower room holds the
| playing mechanism. The key board
consists of set of wooden levers
three feet in length and by bearing
| down on the grip end, the chime
| bells may be sounded. Each lever
| bears a letter of the scale, with which
it's chime bell is connected. The
mechanism is so deftly put together
and the weights are SO delicately bal
anced that the manipulation of the
| key board is made a comparatively
easy operation, though special skill
is required to get the best results in
the way of tempo.
| During the setting up process the
bells have not been sounded except
ing lightly to ascertain whether theil
right pitch had been preserved after
| being attached to the frame work
| The trustees have been particular &c
see that the chimes shall not be heard
| in Richmond until the morning OF
church dedication and on that occasion
the great bells will peal forth some
grand old hymn of glad tidings to all
| the people of the city.

Our friend stated that he was

form of anarchy. Evidently this
opinion is quite prevalent where
