M|LLERS IN SESSION
AT STATE CAPITAL
May Test One of the Recent
Legislatures Acts.
AN ANALYSIS OF FOOD.

Indianapolis. May 15.-The Indiana
State Association of Millers, which
convened at the Claypool hotel yes
terday afternoon, discussed a law en-
acted by the last legislature which
requires manufacturers of food for
live stock TO have the product analyz-
ed before it is put on the market
The manufacturers are required to
pay one cent for every 100 pounds of
feed stuff analyzed. The analysis is
TO be made by chemists employed by
the state
Said one of the millers: This tax
Will be paid largely by the country
millers-the kind that belongs to this
association. The big miller will ship
the most of his stuff outside of the
state TO the larger cities and conse-
quently he does not have to stand this
tax"
Today the millers will decide wheth-
er or not they will resist the law. 1t
is probable they will arrange for a
test case to be decided in the courts
Some of the millers declare the law
is unconstitutional.

The Bell Interests Present in
Detail Plan to ConSoIi-
date Companies.
1T MAY BE ACCEPTED.
BELL INTERESTS WOULD HAVE
TO ABANDON THE EXCHANGES
THAT ARE LOSING MONEY-IN-
DEPENDENTS TO BUY OTHERS.

Indianapolis, May 15.-The Indepen-
dent telephone interests today heard
in detail the plan of the Bell interests
to consolidate them. At the meeting
of the Independent telephone associa-
ton the exact offer was made public
for the first time. The offer is that
the Bell company abandon its ex-
changes where they are losing money
and connect them with the Indepen-
dent lines for long distance business;
that it sci. its exchanges where it is
making money at the value of all such
local plants as investments and retain
the long distance connection. 1t does
not contemplate these companies
quitting connections with the Indepen-
dent long distance companies. 1t is
believed that the proposition will be
accepted If it is not, the Local COM
panies may carry out deals with the
Bell interests only at the risk OF be-
ing ousted from the independent
movement.

Struck While Making an Ef-
fort to Cross the PennSyl-
vania Tracks at Eighth
Street.
BODY MUTILATED
IN SHOCKING MANNER.
Mayer Was Here From Kan
sas City on a Visit-He
Formerly Resided in This
City.

George w. Mayer. well known in
fichmond as plain Billy Mayer, met
an instant and horrible death shortly
after six o'clock Tuesday evening at
the Pennsylvania crossing on North
Eighth street. being hurled under a
swiftly moving and heavily loaded
gravel train, where he was mangled
beyond almost all possibility of recog-
milton.
No one who was close to the scene of
the accident could exactly state just
how it occurred. although there are
numerous theories in regard to the
matter Mr. Mayer had spent the aft
ernoon at the home of his sister, Mrs.
Henry Beckschulte, of South Sixth
street. and had started to the home of
his brother-in-law, Henry Leonard,
who resides in the north part of the
city. He approached the Eighth
street crossing just as the gates Were
lowered to allow trains to pass. May
er stepped under the gates and onto
the track. Seeing an east bound
loaded gravel train coming very rap
idly, he lodged in front of it in order
to get completely across the numerous
tracks and not have to wait till the
train had passed. When he had clear
ed the first track he then noticed a
west bound freight which was close
upon him, and running on the track
adjoining the one he had just crossed.
Caught by Both Trains.
Whether he became confused when
he knew he would have to stand be-
tween the two tracks to let both
trains by: whether he attempted to
dodge in front of the west bound train
rs he had done the east bound train, or
whether he attempted to stand between
the two and his clothing caught on
one and threw him under the other,
no one knows. but nevertheless he was
struck in some manner by the west
bound train. and then hurled under

a distance of about two hundred yards.
to the Pennsylvania station train
sheds His legs were mangled from
the hips to his feet. Both arms were
also masses of crushed flesh, while the
entire back portion or his head was
the face intact. This was cut and
bruised almost beyond recognition.
Pieces of his body were strewn along
the track to the point where his re-
mains were picked up after the coro-
ner arrived about an hour after the
accident happened. Some portions,
however, were not found until this
morning.
Here on a Vacation.
Mayer had but last week returned
from Kansas City. where he was em-
ployed in a packing establishment for
the past two years, and was at the
time of his death on a vacation. Be
fore moving to Kansas City he was
proprietor of the Norman saloon on
Main street and was we'll known
throughout the city. He is survived
by two brothers. three sisters and
brother-in-law all of whom are resi-
dents of Richmond. They are Albert
Mayer. Thomas p. Mayer, Mrs. Frank
Macke, Mrs. Henry Beckschulte. Mrs.
Joseph Sauer and Henry Leonard
The funeral of Mr.. Mayer will be
from st. Andrews church Thursday
morning at nine o'clock. Burial will
be in Earlham cemetery.
