TEACHERS ASKING
FURTHER INCREASE
Believe That the State Can
Well Afford to Boost Sal
aries Again.
CONDITIONS IN RICHMOND.
AVERAGE PAY HERE is $3.50 A
YEAR-WIlL BE APPEAL MADE
TO NEXT SESSION OF LEGlSLA-
TURE FOR INCREASE

According to statistics recantly com
piled by Superintendent T. A. Mott of
the local schools, there are ninety
three teachers III the Richmond pub
lie schools who are paid an average
salary of $3.50 year The salaries
were boosted $50 a year by the last
Legislature. which is very acceptable
to Richmond teachers, but generally
speaking their is a sentiment among
them that they are undergrad.
Local knowledge dispensers with
others over Indiana, it is asserted, will
league themselves together and ap-
pear before the next Indiana legisla-
ture and ask an additional increase.
When asked this morning why the
teachers were making such strenuous
efforts at this time for increases in
salary, a local pedagogue made the
assertion that in Indiana at the pres
ent time. there SC elncd to be senti-
ment in favor of granting the teachers
better salaries and rather than let this
sentiment die it is thought best to
constantly remind the public, that in
struct0rs are still underpaid and stand
ready to accept whatsoever increases
the Legislature might legalize.

enty thousand two cent stamps have
been sold i'll this city. also twenty five

DEFENSE PLANNED
AGAINST THE STATE
Ex-CIerks of the Supreme
Court Prepare for Hard
Legal Battle.
SOME QUESTION EXISTS.
POSSIBLE THAT THE ACTION HAS
BEEN TOO LONG DELAYED
WILL BE BITTER FEELING EN-
GENDERED AS RESULT.

indianapolis, Nov. 1S.-The suits
filed by Attorney General Bingham
against Andrew NJ Sweeney. Alexan-
der Hess and William T. Noble to re-
cover several thousand dollars in fees
which they are alleged to have with
held Illegally while serving as clerks
of the supreme and appellate courts,
will be noteworthy legal battles for the
reason that they will involve the ques-
ton of whether or not the state has
sufficient interest in the funds TO pre-
vent the statute of limitation from
running. as we'll as the question of the
states power to sue to collect the
fees.
The defense Of the eX-clerkS will be
that the statute of limitation bars col
lection, it is said, and new construc-
tions of the statute of limitation will
be required The constitutionality Of
the law of 1907. making the ex-cleris
liable for the amounts of the fees with
SO.
No legal battles in which the state
has been interested, will have been
more bitterly contested than will these
suits. Attorney General Bingham is
preparing to put up strong fight to
collect the fees and the ex-clerks are
preparing a strong defense. w. W.
aft NoI,I
made the statement that tax ferrets''
had inspired Attorney General Bing-
hams action. Mr.. Bingham. in a
statement yesterday, did not altogether
deny this statement. although he holds
that such a statement was hardly justi-
fled-the law of 1907 making it plain
that it was his duty to collect the fees
in controversy. The attorney general
holds that the law never authorized
the funds to be collected by the ex-
clerks in any capacity except as Off
GERS, and when they ceased to be Off
GERS they were no longer entitled TO
them.
In statement yesterday Attorney
General Bingham outlined his purpose
in filing suit to collect the fees. as fol
lows:
Il. To have them distributed to the
| persons TO whom they belong.
-. If the owners cannot be found
to pay them into the state treasury TO
be held as funds that escheat to the
state. in accordance with the statue;

BroWn-Haired Child Saved
From What Seemed Ger
tain Death in Station.
TEDDY BEAR WAS LOST.
AN EXCITING SCENE WHEN JAS.
WOOD DRAGS LITTLE DORO-
THY COX FROM IN FRONT OF
FAST MOVING TRAIN.

-Tra-la-Ia,' hummed a golden-haired,
brown-eyed little girl, as she playfully
trotted across the platform Of the
Pennsylvania station, Sunday after
noon, looking down into the upturned
eyes of little brown Teddy bear,
which she lovingly fondled.
The child was Dorothy Cox, Of Rose
Lake. Ills. Her mother was in the
waiting room, her eyes closed III d
short rest, when the tot decided to ex-
plore the wonders of the big big
building" as she termed the Pcnnsyl-
yania station. A few people were
standing on the platform when the lit
tie tot, care free, began to scamper
around through the train sheds unac-
companied. While intent upon COO
ing her little brown teddy bear into
sleep, she stepped off the north side
OF the platform and fell directly in
front Of No. 10. the ChiCago-Cincin-
natl express which was pulling over
the Eighth street crossing at rapid
speed. A wee little cry Of amazement
and fright, warned big James Wood of
Cleveland, a travelling man. that the
Soungster was in danger. He sprint
ed across the broad platform and the
four railroad tracks intervening be-
tween him and the child and picked
her up from under the very nose OF
the powerful locomotive. He had
but stepped to the platform again,
when the big steel monster steamed by.
The rescue was witnessed by a large
number Of people awaiting for the
train.
Unmindful Of her narrow escape
from death, Dorothy burst into a par
6xysm of grief because Buster" the
teddy bear, was missing. She could
not be consoled. Mrs. Cox, who was
appraised of the danger of her daughter
ran to the little ones assistance. but
arrived on the scene just as Mr.. Wood,
the rescuer, lifted the little one from
the tracks. The mother Clasped her
offspring to her bosom and wept. The
entire party, the rescued and the res
cuer, left on the same train for Cincin
natl.
