GOVERNOR COPPER"
VERY BAD MEASURE
Places His Veto on Bill that
Practically Makes Present
of Land to Steel Co.
is LOCATED NEAR LAKE
DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF PLANT
OF THE GREAT CORPORATION
THAT is BUILDING THE TOWN
OF GARY.

Indianapolis. Feb. Ex-Governor
Hanly this afternoon returned to the
house, house bill No. $50. with his We
TO. he bill was entitled a bill Ito en-.
able owners of land bordering on Lake
Michian to acquire title to submerg-
ed lands belonging to Indiana" and
laying in front of such abutting land
and between the shore line of said lake
and the dock or harbor line, now es-
tablished or hereafter to be established
by the government of the United
States"
Governor Hanly said he desired to
encourage the building up of manufac-
turing institutions along Lake Michi-
gan, but he contended that the meas
ure was unfair to the state in many
ways, more especially the fact that
the purchaser was not compelled to all
in the lands and the spectators could
and possibly would make purchase and
hold for speculative purposes, greatly
to the disadvantage OF the state and
the residents of the district.
He advised that the state hold the
title to the lands until they were filled
in and also that there was grave
question as to the constitutionality of
the bill.
The bill is said to have originated
with the United States Steel company.
which is building a large plant at Ga
ry, and which company desired to pur-
chase the lands in front OF their plant.

GLAD THAT FACTS
ARE MADE PUBLIC
CONTINUED from Page One. D

believe that any more of the details
have been given by the press than are
necessary to give us an intelligent
view of the subject
The Rev. Mr.. Charlton thought the
laying bare of the facts would do good
if the public is willing to profit by the
lessons that ought to be taught. In
discussing the question of marriage
from suggestions in the Thaw case,
the Rev. Mr.. Charlton said: Il never
stand at the marriage altar without
feeling deeply the solemnity of the oc-
casion, yet how many seem to look
on 1t as a trivial thing, and by their ac-
lions after the ceremony and their
treatment of the newly married couple
think the whole event a huge joke
the funniest thing in the world.
Il am not saying that there ought
not to be joy on such occasions Sure
Iy no higher or sweeter joy can come
to fathers and mothers than to see
their sons and daughters wisely mar
ried.
Again, is it not well that we be re-
minded of the responsibility of faith
ers and mothers for their children?
What sort of mother did Mrs. Thaw
have, as described by her own testi-
mony? / have no doubt but that the
published testimony is true. A moth
err who would permit her sixteen-year-
old daughter to associate with mar
ried man, very much older too, ought
to have the finger of shame pointed at
her.

is IGNORING THE CITY
CENTRAL UNION OBDURATE
Company Goes Ahead With Its Over
head System in Spite Of Fact that
Poles Are Expected to Be Removed
from Main Street.

notwithstanding the fact that the
Main street pole ordinance is now in
effect and by its provisions all com
panies maintaining poles on Main
street are expected TO remove these
poles by February of next year, the
Central Union Telephone Company
evidently intends to ignore the ordi
nance as the company still continues
TO rebuild its overhead system.
The company is giving out no in
formation as to what course it will
pursue in obeying the city's edict that
poles must be removed from Main
street within years time but the
city officials take the company's ac-
tivity in continuing to rebuild over
head as a silent answer that there
will be no poles removed by II unless
the terms offered to the city by the
company over six months ago are ac-
cepted.
1t will be remembered that the Cen
trail Union Company, when it detern-
ined to rebuild its local system last
spring. asked the city for an under
ground franchise. The city fearing
that at some future time the Central
Union might monopolize the telephone
service in this city and boost rates to
the high heavens, insisted that a
maximum rate clause for business and
private telephones, be inserted in the
franchise.
When the Indianapolis officials of
the company heard what the city Of
ficials wished to insert in the fran
chise, they Indignantly refused to
consider the proposition and the city
officials made retort courteous to
the effect that the Central Union
would either have TO consider the
maximum rate clause or it would con-
slider no underground franchise at all.
The officials Of the company have
since made no advances. The over
head system the company is now
building will be quite an expense item
and it is an assured fact that the
company will not be willing to tear
down these new improvements as
soon as completed and then be put to
the expense of erecting poles in the
alleys north or south OF Main street.
The other companies, with the ex-
ception of the Home Telephone Com
pany, affected by the ordinance. have
not yet complied with its provisions,
but will do so before the time limit
expires. The Home Telephone Com
pany has already removed its poles
from Main street 1t is stated that a
rigorous enforcement of the ordi-
nance will mean that from 10 to 100
poles on Main street will be removed.

MAY Be A SLIDING SCALE
LEAGUE MAGNATE'S MEET
Subject Of Salaries Under oIscussIen
Probable Action Against Players
Who Hold Out Until Last Minute
for Dig Salaries.

New York. Feb. 2S.-Thousn ses.
sions of both the National and Ameri.
can league were scheduled for today,
interest centered in the American
league session at the Fivth Avenue ho-
tel. A schedule with only twenty
four conflicting dates has been drawn
up, and unless objected to by the Ma
tional League club owners. 1t will be
adopted this afternoon.
President Johnson. of the National
American league, said the proposition
to take action against players who
hold out until the last minute for more
salary had been seriously considered
and the subject is still up for discus
sion. There is no chance Of an ad-
justment whereby all players will
draw equal salaries. There may be
a sliding scale OF fines. Several Ma
tional League managers called at tho
Fifth avenue hotel and talked trades
to American league men. Among
these were John McClosky. OF the ST.
Louis club and Owner Dewey, OF the
Boston. The Joint rules committee
will meet tomorrow.

Tho Elm Incident.

Washington was taking formal COM
mand Of the Continental army at Cam
bridge. He crooked his arm, placed
his elbow against the historic elm and
rested his head on his hand. Then he
addressed The i'll assorted gathering Of
patriots. In the midst Of his remarks
his elbow suddenly glided from the
tree and Washington completely lost
his equilibrium.
"Why didn't you inform me-" said
the great general, with dignity, that
this tree was a slippery elm ?'-Wom-
ans Home Companion.

Two Mufs In One.


She sat between her two lovers in the
trap. George was driving, ana Edward
was pressed closely against the rail
The night was dark, but the horse was
old and knew his way. This gave
George an opportunity to hold the reins
in one hand and also to slip the other
into the lady's unoccupied mum. Pres.
ently-well. two hands were tenderly
pressing each other.
The end Of the drive came at last
and a sweet, small voice whispered:
when you two gentlemen have quite
done with my muff perhaps you will
be kind enough TO let me have It."
Then did two sworn enemies alight
from the trap with thoughts that could
scarcely be expressed coherently in
presentable language.-Judge.

Pretty SurpIice Suit.

One may feast the eye on many a
pretty conceit, yet nothing any pref
tier than a simple little surplice suit
of pink and mauve ninon in tiny
checks as small as the smallest shep-
herds plaid. This jaunty little frock
was made with plated skirt and a
surplice waist, the sleeves being form
ed Jap style with the plated waist
portions. Bordering the sleeves were
folds of plain mauve ninon edged with
an insertion of Irish point. The front
of the surplice was outlined with a
plain band OF the mauve, while the
vest to the waist was of Irish point
allover The plated belt was finished
at the front with an immense buckle
of frosted silver.
