Indianapolis. May Is (speciap-Attorrey General
bingham has Just given opinion to the erect tHat
the new two-cent railroad passenger rare law does
not apply to interUrban roads, and there is strong
probability that the new law will be declared IN
constitutional because it is class legislation The
opinion was called out by letters from several per-
sons to the Attorney General The interurban roads
charge I'VE cents for carrying person one NILE
ten cents for two three miles, and fifteen cents
for hve or six miles. but for longer rides, as be-
tween places ten twenty thirty miles apart the
fare is less than cents mile
A suit is pending in the Supreme Court at
lacking the law in question, on the ground that
it is class legislation. in having failed TO include
the interurban roads in the two-cent requirement
When the bill was under consideration in the Legs
lature it was opposed by some members, on the
ground that IL would he unconstitutional II the
interurban roads not included, and the bill
then amended in such way as. it was
thought TO overcome this objection.
The Appellate Court in recent decision declared
that the points of difference between steam and
interurban railroads did not 10 be funda-
mental. and that the points OF similarity between
the two were numerous The court intimated
plainly that the two sporation agencies really
belong TO the same class, and, with the Attorney
General holding that interurbans not bound by
the two-cent law. 1T would seem that that law is
class legislation

MAIZE FOR NATIONAL FLOWER.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: II some appropriate representative flower
ought to be chosen as "a national floral emblem"
as suggested by Boston correspondent in The
Tribune for May 16, permit TO suggest maize
Indian corn-as the most appropriate and repre-
sentative plant for that purpose While maize may
not be exactly flower such as your correspondent
evidently had in mind there is certainly more
typical American plant than IL; more stately
and beautiful and worthy OF national enhlematic
adoption. It has been justly honored with posi-
ton on the jamestown two-cent postage stamp
Perhaps if it not common its claims to
ernblernatic and decorative recognition would be
more fully appreciated. -Four years ago my daugh-
ter, while spending short time in Russia--a
try where roasts probably unknown-saw
maize occupying an honorable position among
other decorative plants in a park in the city of
Moscow. I nominate maize as the national floral
emblem. Is there any second to the nomination?

General is wrong in his construction OF the law
and others that he IS right and, therefore the act
must fall 70 the ground. State authorities who
worked for the law and who tried 70 make the

the Attorney Generals opinion. and fear that IL
will be sustained by the Supreme Court, and hence
necessarily nullfy the law as class legislation

Four Parties File Nomination Papers

There will be four parties repre-
sented on the State ticket to be
voted in November next, the Dem
ocratic, Republican, Prohibition
and Socialist parties having nomi-
mated and fled their nomination
papers in the State department.
Thursday was the last day for
fling nomination papers for the
State ticket. and the names fled at
the department will very likely be
those to be printed on the ballot.
In case OF vacancies ON the ticket
they can be filed at any reasonable
time, giving the county commits
sioners opportunity to print the
ballots.
If there be any objections to can
didates on the State ticket they
must be fled by today, as the time
for fling objections expires then.
The ballots will be certified to
the county commissioners as soon
as it is ascertained that there are
no contests and no vacancies, and
the trouble of last year, when there
was so much delay all over the
State in the printing of the ballots
will be averted.

Clever Swindler in Operation.
He Substitutes a Pair OF Worthless Eye
Glasses for a Good Pair.

Now you see now you don't
see.
This expression of illusionists and
magicians fits exactly with the
methods employed by swindler
who for the past few weeks has
been operating in the surrounding
towns, and who is probably in
Bloomsbury this week.
The swindler has been using a
very clever substitution game with
a pair of eye glasses. The man
sells the eye glasses to the party,
and by the way the first pair are
gold and fully worth the price paid
for them, but the swindling part
comes in a few days later, when
after making the sale he returns to
The party and asks to see the glass
es and while examining them he
cleverly substitutes worthless pair
and leaves them with the victim.
AT Shamokin several parties were
victimized before the swindle was
discovered The man was sought
for by the police OF that place, but
at the hotel where he was stopping
it was found that he had departed.

town yesterday and attracted good
deal of attention. The car, which
is owned by w. A. Heller, has just
returned from Milton, where it was
in commission carrying people from
the town out to the fair ground.
In point of speed it is right up to
the smaller cars, while the interior
is comfortable and commodious.
The car will seat twenty persons
without crowding. In cases Of ne

The car is being used at the

FINE PARK ALONG D. e. B.
Will be Completed This faIl-Will Surpass
Anything in This Section Of the State.

The Danville Morning NeaOs of
Monday says
A magnificent park-cclipsing
anything of its kind i'll this part of
the State-midway between Dan
vile and Bloomsbury. Work on the
construction will begin at once and
will be entirely completed this fall.
The Danvile and Bloomsbury
Street Railway company is back of
the enterprise, and has secured the
co operation of Mr.. "A. jain, of Read
ing, the millionaire park promoter,
who has personally perfected the
plans and will direct the construc-
ton. Mr.. Jahn and Thomas B.
Illig, member of the board of di-
rectors, were in Danvlle Saturday
completing arrangements for the
new amusement place.
In an interview with a News re-
porter Mr.. Jahn said that the new
park would be modern and up-to-
date in every particular, embracing
the finest of everything that can be
procured i'll the way of open air di-
versions.
The feature of the park will be
the pavilion, 70 feet by $50 feet and
of ornate construction, including a
fine maple dancing floor. Another
feature will be the roller coaster
and still another the 4o-foot cleo
trio carousel. All of these principal
features of the park are to be group
ed in one place on the grounds, oc-
cupying a plot 70 feet by 400 feet,
so that i'll case of inclement weather
it will not be necessary to step from
shelter in order to reach any one Of
numerous amusements in the park.
There will also be erected big
station for the arriving and depart
Ing trolley parties. There will be
several private dining rooms, shell
ter pavilions, everything in the
booth line, benches, tables, and in
fact everything that would go to
complete hrSt class resort.
LOCATION NOT MADE PUBLIC.
The trolley officials refused to di-
vulge the location of the new park,
stating that for business reasons
they desired that this remain a
secret for several days. They said,
however, that the site was in one
of the prettiest groves along the
line, about half way between Dan.
vile aud Bloomsbury and of easy
access to the trolley line. The park
will include 80 acres of woodland.
WILL INSTALL LIGHT PLANT.
To light the new park it is esti.
mated that it will require at least
10, 900 incandescent lamps, and tc
meet the additional current needed
for the lighting the trolley com.
pany will install an electric lighting
plant of its own in connection with
the power house at Grovania.
