PEDDlERS HAVE NOT
ASKED FOR LICENSE

City Controller Webster Parry
states that none of the peddlers af-
fected by the ruling of Judge FIX
holding the peddling ordinance valid,
has yet applied for a license to oper-
ate. Marketmaster Waterman states
that he served notice on these ped
dlerS and unless they promptly
apply for a license they will be prose
cuted for violation of the ordinance.
Chief Bailey says that several men en-
gagged in the peddling business, who
are affected by the courts ruling, have
inquired at police headquarters con-
corning the ordinance and have asked
if it will be necessary to apply for IL
censes. Chief Bailey has referred
these men to the controller
No Judgment Entered.
Judge Fox has not as yet made a
judgment against Henry Zuttermeis-
ter. Ford Curry and Harry Partridge
for violating the ordinance and it is
not known whether any judgment will
be made by the court. No judgment
can be made against these defendants
in the city court as Judge Converse
found them not guilty and declared
the ordinance unconstitutional when
their cases were heard

Council Committee Has About
Decided on the Slaughter
House Ordinance.
ONE BUTCHERING PLACE
VERY LIKELY THAT THE CITY
WILL PROVIDE A SLAUGHTER
HOUSE AND REQUIRE ALL
MEATS PREPARED THERE.

At the next meeting of the city
council an ordinance regulating the
inspection of meat and milk sold in
this city will be ready to be present
ed The members of the investigat
ing committee have not yet completed
their labors but it is understood that
they have the matter well enough in
hand at the present time for work
ing basis on the ordinance that will
be drawn up
1t is understood that the committee
will present an ordinance which calls
for the inspection and slaughtering
of live stock by all the local butcher
ing establishments in the city, ex-
elusive of the Richmond Abattoir com
pany, at municipal butchering place
where there will be city inspector
who will make inspections on the
hoof and post norton inspections.
Just what arrangements will be made
in the ordinance for the inspection
known.
The committee also believes that a
remedy for protecting the public from
meat butchered in small neighboring
towns, where there is neither local
or government inspection will be pro-
vided. 1t is stated that the ordinan-
ce will prohibit the sale of meat ship
ped into the city until it has been
inspected by the city inspector. This
is radical move but it is thought
1t will be regarded by the general
public as a wise provision.
Members of the committee believe
that it would be unfair to the local
butchers to compel them to submit
their stock to municipal inspection
and butchering at municipal abattoir
and allow local meat market men to
sell meat shipped into the city from
neighboring towns which has not been
inspected.

LION AND THE MOUSE
Many Richmond People will Likely
Witness Great Play at the English
Corrupt Wealth.

THE Lion and the Mouse, a play
significant because of its relations to
affairs and topics of the day, and
which will be produced at the English
opera house in Indianapolis next week
is said TO be one of the most remark
able properties in American dramatic
history. Its composition by Charles
Klein was conceived through the de-
velopment of the great oil combine
of John d. Rockefeller and the sensa-
tional expose by Ida Tarbell. The
theme of the play is one not before
utilized for dramatic purposesEthat
of the corrupting influence exerted by
monopolists and money kings in AM
erican politics today. Although at
first refused by nearly every theatre
cal manager in New York, the drama
is now admitted TO be one of the
greatest successes of the age.

ARE NOT TREATED ALIKE
Treasurer Myrick Gets Less than Tip
Pecanoe County Treasurer Tn
der the New Law.

County Treasurer B. 3. Myrick, Jr
was in Indianapolis Wednesday look
ing after his interest in the county
treasurers' salary bill, which is a COM
panion measure to the depository bill.
Both bills were passed Wednesday by
the senate and Mr. Myrick is of the
opinion that he was dealt with unfair
ly in the former measure The depos
itory bill takes away from the county
treasurer nearly all the perquisites of
the office and at the same time the
salary bill only increases his salary
from $4,000 to 81, 700.
To show the injustice of the bill to-
ward Mr.. Myrick. the salary of the
county treasurer of Tippecanoe
county, which has population of So
600 and taxable property TO the value
of $3l 100000 has been increased
from $4,000 to $4,000. The population
and taxable wealth OF Wayne county
is identically the same as in Tippeca-
noe county. but Mr.. MyTick is only to
receive a salary of S4,700.
Mr.. Myrick strenuouSly objected to
this arrangement but the senate COM
mittee refused TO make an added in
crease in the salary of the treasurer
of Wayne county
The house yesterday concurred in
the senate amendment to the public
depository bill. sending it TO the gov
ernor.

TWO MAIDS LOSE LIVES
IN NEW ORLEANS FIRE

New Orleans. La, March IA fire
I'm the Lawrence hotel on South street
this afternoon, destroyed the entire
building and caused the death of two
maids, who were caught on the third
floor and suffocated before firemen
could reach them. Their bodies
were removed before fire reached that
part of the building where they had
been working, by firmen. The fire
was got under control after a hard
fight, during which time it seemed al
most certain that it would spread to
adjoining buildings. The structure
Was one of the oldest in the city and
thin fire spread with slow deliberation
during the first thirty minutes. Sew
eral guests, mostly night workers, who
had not left their rooms, had narrow
escapes.

up it's hands in the Chicago sub-treas-

cover how the loss occurred. The

not know how the funds disappeared.
1t is not known how great the short

Arrives in England and is

DETECTIVES LINE ROAD TO
BUCKINGHAM.

London, March THE dowager
Empress OF Russia arrived here TINS
morning and was greeted at the rail-
road station by her sister, Queen AL
Wales and the staff of the Russian
embassy. The Empress reached Lon
don half an hour earlier than the time
publicly announced, and several for
eign ministers who had not been APP
prised of the change, arrived at the
station after the departure of the roy
al party. The expediting of the EN-
press's arrival was, it IS understood,
planned by the police who have taken
stringent precautions for her protec-
ton. While the officials of Scotland
Yard have little fear that the anarch-
lists in London will endanger their
chances of obtaining an asylum in
England by any attempt on the life of
the empress, they are taking no chan
ces and every possible avenue of at
tack will be guarded. From the rail
road station the dowager empress and
the queen drove to buckingham pal
ace.
Police Guard Bridges.
Extraordinary precautions for the
safety of the dowager empress sur
rounded her from the time of her ar
rival in England. Only officials were
allowed in the vicinity of the landing
at Dover, at the railway station and
especially at bridges and crossings,
which were guarded by uniformed po-
lice and detectives. The route from
Victoria station to Buckingham palace
was lined at short intervals by Scot
land Yard men and regular police,
and the palace police guard was large
~ augmented. All the haunts of an
archists were closely watched by po-
lice in plain clothes and detectives,
who believe they have every anarchist
in the city under surveillance.

COUNTY CAN ALSO HELP
Bill Passed by Legislature for Benefit
of Reid Memorial Hospital is
Broad in Scope.

Under the provisions of the bill
passed this week by the Legislature
for the relief of Reid Memorial hos
pital, an action on the part of the
county council in appropriating mon
ely for the support of the institution
would be legal. 1t has been generally
understood that the bill was to legal
ize the action of the Richmond city
council in appropriating money for
the support of the hospital, but it ap-
pears the bill is so worded as TO make
a similar action on the part of the
county council also legal.
May Ask for Help.
Whether the trustees of the hospit-
al will ask the county council at its
next meeting in September to make
an appropriation for the maintenance
of the institution is not known. 1t is
the general opinion that the trustees
would be justified in taking such ac-
ton. Since the opening of the hos
pital the authorities of the institu-
ton have been accepting charity pa
tientS from all over the county and
the county government has never con-
tributed a cent for the support of
these unfoTtunates

Roosevelt Suggests that
Eighth District Postmas-
tiers Should Resign.
TALKS TO THE SENATORS
ROTHSCHILD AGING FOR SEV-
FRIDGE SELECTS DRISCOkL
FOR MUNCIE-HEMENW is
NOT SATISFIED.

Washington, March 7-Senators
Beveridge and Hemenway continued
to wrestle with the Eighth district
postoffice problem today. Senator
Hemenway went to the White House
during the forenoon accompanied by
x-Representative Cromer, who sat
out in the waiting-room while the
senator talked over the district situa-
ton with the president. II was sug-
gested by the president that in the
interest of harmony it might be ad-
visabIe to have Robert p. Grimes,
postmaster at Anderson, and William
A Finch, postmaster at ElWOod, re-
call their designations. and thus be
permitted to serve out their terms,
which have two years and lime
months yet to run. The junior sena-
tor said it was immaterial to him
whether this course was pursued or
not and at the suggestion of the pre-
sident he agreed to take up with the
postoffice department the question of
having these two postmasters recall
their designations.
Both Grimes and Finch resigned
last Saturday at the request of Repre-
sentative Cromer, that he might have
an opportunity to appoint their sue
cessorS.
First Assistant Postmaster Hitch
cock was willing that the resigna-
tons should be asked for because the
postoffice inspector, who investigated
the charges lodged against these of
ficers by George F. Mccullough, re-
commended that they be let out.
The president says frankly that he
does not take much stock in the re-
concentrations of the inspector. He
feels that if Grimes and Finch deserve
dismissal the penalty should have
been applied more than year ago
when the charges were made.
The situation with reference to the
Muncie office is different. The COM
mission of David Lambert, the pres
ent postmaster, expires next Monday.
At the conference between the two
senators on Tuesday it was agreed
that Mr. Beveridge as the senior SEN
ator, should have the first pick in the
district.
RothschiId Picks DriscoII.
Before leaving for New York he
wired l.. G.. Rothschild, collector of
customs at indianapolis, to go to
Muncie and select a postmaster.
Rothschild carried out the instruc-
lions and picked George 0. Driscoll
Before word reached here that Dris-
choll had been chosen by Beveridge's
representative, announcement was
made in George F. McCulloch's news
paper at Muncie, that Driscoll had
been selected. The announcement
started a fresh crop of protests from
friends of ex-Representative Cromer,
who have been wiring here alleging
that Driscoll is one of McCulloch's
chief henchmen and is not by any
means the man the people of Muncie
want for postmaster. Senator Hemen-
way had insisted from the start that
the new postmaster should be a bust
ness man not identified in any way
with either the Cromer or the McCul-
loch faction and the recommendation
for Driscoll was not at all satisfactory
to him. Up to this afternoon he had
not agreed to join with Senator Bev-
eridge in recommending Driscoll's APP

of about three months. the people OF
Weston have tired Of dry town and
as soon as the legal publication can

with the way the liquor traffic has
been conducted and now favor the
granting of license again.
Considerable pressure is being
brought TO bear on the county court,
which refused license at the first Of

slider It's action. and 1t now seems
probable that the court will grant
license.
