DEEP SILENCE IN
TRACTION WORLD
Not a Word has Been Heard
from President MCGOWAN
on Freight Matter.
PLAYING WAITING GAME
HOWEVER, THERE WILL BE
NOTHING TO GAIN IN THIS RE-
GARD-SITUATlON WILL BE
FOUND EMBARRASSING.

A deep and impenetrable silence in
uation still continues to prevail. Pres
ident Merrill of the board of public
works states that not word has been
heard from President MCGOWAN of the
Terre iHaute, indianapolis and Eastern
in regard to the North Twenty-third
street freight route through this city.
Playing a Waiting Game.
1t is generally thought the traction
people nope to bring the people of this
city to time by playing waiting
game. 1t is thought the traction Off
cials are of the opinion that If they
wait long enough the local shippers
will become impatient and insist that
the traction company be allowed 10 op-
crate its freight cars through Rich
mond on any route the company may
select. There seems to be no disposi-
ton on the part of the shippers to run
up the white flag to Mr.. MCGOWAN and
his associates and as consequence
the city officials are calmly resting on
their oars waiting for the traction peo-
pie to make some move.
Situation is Embarrassing.
Mr. McGowan has now completed
the organization of his big traction
merger and Richmond still continues
to remain on the main line. He has
passenger service in opera
ton now and it is only question of
time until he will be ready TO begin
an interstate freight service. When
this time comes he will find the local
most embarrassing one, so
embarrassing in fact that it is thought
he will be ready to acknowledge him
self defeated by the citizens of Rich
mond and will agree to operate his
freight cars through the city as the
people SO desire

Son Was Born the Year that
''HancoCk Was Chosen
to the Presidency"
AN UNUSUAL DIVORCE SUIT.
CLIFFORD MAY HARRIS WAS
GRANTED SEPARATION FROM
CHARLES HARRIS FOLLOWING
AMUSING TESTIMONY.

Clifford May Harris, colored. had a
hard time getting a divorce from
Charles Harris, in the circuit court,
but she finally succeeded. After At
torney B. C.. Robbins had had his eli
ent, Mrs. Harris, testify, Prosecutor
Jessup cross examined the witness and
Harris stated that she thought she
would be 81 years old next May. The
prosecutor then stated that under the
law Mrs Harris could not apply for a
divorce until she was of age.
Dated by an Election.
Mr. Robbins stated that he thought
Mrs Harris is over II and had her
mother. Mrs. Emma Gee. called to the
stand Mrs. Gee stated that her
daughter would be 90 years of age in
May. What year was she bornE'
asked the prosecutor. Il don't re-
member the year. but it was the year
before Harrison was elected presi-
dent" stated Mrs. Gee. THAT would
be 1851 replied the prosecutor, and
would make your daughter only 20
years of age" Judge Fox stated that
the facts in the case warranted a di-
vorce and that if Mr. Robbins would
definitely ascertain that his client was
of age the divorce would be granted.
otherwise the complaint for divorce
would have to be filed by the next
friend of Mrs Harris
Hancock Milestone.
After the court had made this ruling
Mrs. Gee informed Mr.. Robbins that
she had been mistaken concerning the
date of Mrs Harris birth and that she
knew her daughter was over 21 years
of age as her son was only four years
older than Mrs. Harris and that the
son had been born the year Hancock
was elected With a laugh. Attorney
Robbins walked to the bar and inform
ed the court taat Mrs. Harris must be
of age as she was only four years
younger than brother born when
Hancock was elected" The court
threw up his hands and remarked:
The divorce is granted. The plaiu-
tiff deserves it Everyone in the
court room joined in a hearty laugh.
Mrs Harris secured her divorce on
the grounds of cruel and inhumau
treatment and failure to provide.
