NEW SCHEDULE DOES
NOT MEAN INCREASE
Work of Insurance Inspectors
Is Meant to Bring About
Readjustment.
MAKE THOROUGH CANVASS.
IN SOME INSTANCES 1T WILL BE
POSSIBLE FOR PROPERTY OWN
ERs TO KEEP DOWN RATES ON
THEIR PROPERTY.

Insurance Inspectors Wilkerson,
Tinsley and Kerns, representing the
Indiana Inspection Bureau of Indiana
polls, are now in Richmond schedul-
ing the entire city under the Dean sys-
tenn, of which so much has been said
in recent months. The work has been
progressing very satisfactorily for the
past two weeks and will continue for
several weeks. A re-adjustment of in
surance rates i'll Richmond cannot be
made before January or February, it
is said. Neither does this re-adjust-
ment mean an increase in the prevail
ing insurance rates, as has been as
serted.
The men are engaged in compiling
a record of the exact conditions of all
Richmond properties. The hazardous
conditions of each are specifically
noted. The entire record will be COM
piled and presented to the insurance
companies doing business in the city
The inspectors are making a very
careful canvass.
In many instances property owners
can remedy the existing evil condi-
tions and thereby lower their present
insurance rates. Others by the bad
condition of their buildings will have
to pay higher insurance rates than
they are paying now. The general re-
adjustment will not be made however
until the rates have been determined
on each building, printed, bound and
forwarded TO the various insurance
agencies. AS the entire job is one
which entails much labor it cannot
possibly be placed in use before the
first of next year. The rumOr circu-
latins about the city that the new
rates have gone into effect are mis-
leading.
1t is not thought as a result of the
present scheduling that the increase
in rates will overbalauCe the decreas-
eS. Stoves connected with rubber
tubes are considered unsafe and each
property owner who has a stove con-
nected in this manner will have TO
pay for this hazard. AS this is a very
easy condition to remedy property
owners and others can easily escape
an increase in insurance rates by MAX
ing needed improvements.

George r. Dilks has received the
following letter, as a result of one of
the pamphlets sent out in the effort
to boom Richmond. The letter is
self-eXplanatory
St. Louis. Nov. 1, 1907.
Geo. r. Dilks, Esq,
Richmond, Ind.
Ny dear George
We are in receipt of your little
pamphlet relative to Richmond and
the facts contained therein should be
very gratifying, indeed, to its citizens,
and the banding together of the vari-
Gus Industries, etc, will no doubt be
beneficial.
The night you took the writer to
the Roller skating rink an incident oc-
CURED which made a deep and last
ing impression. You will remember
you drove up to the curbing and hitch
ed your horses; l was somewhat anX-
iOus about the valise which 7 had
with me, and finally decided to take
it with me to the rink: but you in.
formed me that it was just as safe in
the carriage as if it We're locked up
in a warehouse, and further remarked
that as long as you had lived in Rich
mond you had never had anything
stolen: the valise was exposed to the
passer-by, and upon our return to the
carriage from the rink found it there
as you stated it would be.
A community which has the pre-
cept Thou shalt not steal for its
foundation is bound 10 be successful.
and We wish the City OF Richmond
every possible success.
Yours truly.

FREIGHT CONGESTION
NOT FOUND LOCALLY
Report in Reference to 1t Is
Erroneous.
AGENT McCABE'S VIEWS.

If there is freight congestion in
Richmond on the Pennsylvania lines,
local freight officials are not aware of
it. Guy S. McCabe, local division
freight agent, says that conditions are
good in Richmond and he expects
them to continue SO.
For some time a report has been
spreading that shippers are finding
considerable trouble in getting their
freight out in proper manner. Reports
OF this character are being discouraged
on every hand, however, as such con-
ditions do not exist.

Monday of Next Week the
Date Set for Hearing Be-
fore Judge Anderson.
A PERMANENT INJUNCTION.
TRACTION COMPANY is ENDEAV-
ORiNG TO RESTRAIN THE CITY
FROM INTERFERING FOR ALL
TIME TO COME.

Monday of next week is the date set
by Judge Anderson of the federal
court at Indianapolis fer the filing oi
briefs and the hearing of arguments
in the case of the Terre Haute, India
napolis & Eastern traction company
against the City of Richmond, to Sc
cure a permanent Injunction against
the city from interfering with the op
Grafton of traction cars on Main street
from Eighth street east. =
The date for filing the briefs and
the hearing of arguments in this case

time it was continued on a petition
made by the traction company. Last
month Judge Anderson postponed the
hearing Of the case until the first
Monday iIr November City Attorney
Study and Attorney Wilfred Jessup
who is assisting Mr. Study in this
case, do not think that the case will
again be continued and are prepared
to submit briefs and make their argu
ments next Monday.
Brings to Focus.
The hearing of this case brings the
long and bitter controversy between
the city and the Terre Haute, Indiana
polls & Eastern traction company to
a focus. Judge Anderson will settle
the dispute once and Tor ali and the
attorneys for the city are confident
that the city holds the winning hand
If Judge Anderson hands down a
decision favorable to the traction
company it will mean that the T H
l. &, +. or any other traction line can
operate unmOlested through this city
without a franchise. and this means
that traction freight cars would once
more be seen running along Main
street. The city maintains that the
T. H. l. & f, or its subsidiary com
pany the Dayton & Western, cannot
operate cars on Main street from
Eighth street east to the east corpor.
alton line because it has no franchise
If Judge Anderson rules in favor OF
the city it means that the traction
company will have 10 at once apply
for franchise or the ordinance max.
ing it unlawful to operate traction
cars on this part Of Main street will at
once go into effect. II will also mean
that the traction company will have
town to operate freight cars. as this
is one of the demands made Of the
traction company by the city.

A Company With Others Af-
ected, 1t Has Taken No
step Toward Complying
With Ordinance.
WOODEN POLES MUST
BE REMOVED, 1T SAYS.
Home Telephone Company Is
The Only One That Has
Made Any Effort to Com
pIy-Time Is Very Short.

On December the first. less than q
months's time, the ordinance passed
by council compelling the removal of
all wooden poles from the business dis
trict of Main street, goes into effect.
So far only one company affected by
this ordinance, has taken steps to COM
ply with the terms of this ordinance
This company is the Home Telephone
company, which is rapidly taking
down its overhead lines and will prOba
bly, be in a position to take down its
Main street poles by the first of next
month.
The ordinance reads that the wooden
poles used by the Municipal lighting
and power plant, the Richmond Light,
Heat and Power company and the
street car company shall be replaced
with iron poles and that wooden poles
used by tho Bell Telephone company.
the Home Telephone company and the
two telegraph companies be removed
entirely from Main street and placed
in the first alley south of Main street.
running east and west, or in the first
north Of Main street, running east and
west.
City Has Not Acted.
President Merrill, of the board OF
public works. was asked today what
steps the city had taken to comply
with this ordinance. He admitted
that up to the present time no action
had been taken, but he added that the
municipal plant would take steps To
comply with the ordinance. He stat
ed that an arrangement would proba-
bly, be made with the Light. Heat Il
Power company to erect a joint line
of iron poles on Main street
SO far as known the street car com
pany has taken no steps to substitute
iron poles on Main street for the wood
en- poles. Manager Noah Hutton If
the Bell Telephone company. was ask
ed if his company would comply with
the terms of the ordinance and he an
Bwered that he had no information Oh
this subject. He stated that the con-
struction department of the company
had been notified of the passage of this
ordinance at the time it was passed.
but whether this department had ar
ranged to remove the poles into the al
leys, he was in the darh. The two tel
egraph companies will in all probabil-
ity take whatever action the Bell Tele-
phone company does. The relations
between the city and the Bell Tele-
phone company are still strained and
1t is thought in some quarters that
the company will ignore the ordinance
and if necessary. fight it out with the
city in the courts. At the time the
ordinance was passed the Bell Aelc-
phone company vigorously opposed it.
1t is also probable that the street car
company will also ignore the ordi-
nance.

WAS NECESSARY TO
HAVE REELECTION
Indiana State Federation of
Clubs Made an interest
ing Discovery.
TWO ELECTED INELIGIBLE.
MRS. PHILIP NJ. MOORE, CLUB
LEADER, GOES ON RECORD
AGAINST WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE
BEING BROUGHT UP.

Indianapolis, Nov. 2-The discovery
was made yesterday by the directors
OF the Indiana State Federation of
Clubs that Mrs. Ryell T. Miller of
South Bend and Mrs. a. J. Clark Of
Indianapolis, two of the members of
the board of directors, elected by the
federation Thursday, are ineligible to
serve.
The discovery caused considerable
CONSERVATION among those delegates
who had not left the city.
The constitution of the federation
declares that not more than one
woman from the same city shall be
elected to office. After the election
was over, some of the politicians" of
the federation made the discovery that
Mrs. Ryell T. Miller, elected a direct
or, and Miss Sabra Ann Fralick, the
new federation secretary, both live at
South Bend.
The board decided that as Miss Fra
lick's name came before Mrs. Miller's
on the ticket, she was the eligible can
didate from South Bend.
In Mrs. A. ]. Clark's case it was
found necessary for her to retire from
the directory, as she and Mrs. Grace
Julian Clarke, elected vice president,
both live in Indianapolis. The name
Of Mrs. Grace Julian Clarke was the
second one on the ticket and she was
declared to be eligible. Mrs. Eva
O'Hair of Greencastle was made a di-
rector to succeed Mrs. Miller and Mrs.
Julia Conklin of Westfield will sue
ceed Mrs. A. J. Clark.
Members of the board of directors
said yesterday that the next conven-
ton of the federation will be held IN
Indianapolis.
Opposes Woman's Suffrage.
Mrs. Philip n. Moore, first vice
president of the General Federation of
Clubs, will oppose any attempt to in
iect the woman's suffrage question in
to the deliberations OF the General
Federation when it cOnvenes in bien-
nial convention in Boston.
We do not propose that the feder-
alton shall be drawn into a controver-
sy over this question: said Mrs,
Moore.

Switch Boards Trouble.

The greatest trouble experienced
up-to-date is with the automatic
switch boards. Their construction alb
solutely prohibits the use of oil as
such interferes with the electrical
workings. 1t is necessary therefore
that these automatic boards adjust

working in an excellent manner.
Local officers of the company are
optimistic as to the outlook. The
