Senator CavinS Creates Quite
a Sensation by His Bill to
Legislature.
THE MEASURE Is DOOMED
UNDERSTOOD THAT 1T WILL New
Err GET BEYOND THE COMMIT
TEE TO WHICH 1T WAS RE-
FERRED.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 2s, (Spl)-
Senator Cavins threw bomb into the
senate this afternoon in the shape of a
bill which proposes to permit women
to vote and hold office in any town or
incorporated city in the state of India
ma. The bill was short. That is all
there is to it, but it means a lot of
trouble in the legislature if the COM
mittee which will consider it, recon,
mends it for passage. Senator Ca
wins is young man He is married.
He is good looking and he is doomed
to get his picture in the newspapers
if not in the magazines. 1t was sug-
gested tonight that the women of the
state who have been rampant for suf-
frage for years might Immediately
start a subscription for the purpose
of creating fund for a Cavins sta
tute in the hall of fame" in Wash
ington. Seriously considered, the bill
has its supporters among the mem
bers of both houses and there is no
question that there will be some
women lobbyists in the state house
before many hours pass. 1t was said
however. soon after the introduction
of the bill. that an effort would be
made to have the committee kill it in
order to do away with prolonged dis
cussion.

DIR. Charles S. Bond, city health Of
ficer, announced last night that at the
present time there was not a single
case of scarlet fever in the city, those
persons afflicted having recovered,
while all the homes, with one excep-
ton. which have been quarantined ow-
ing TO indirect exposures, have been
released from restrictions. The one
home which still remains under quar-
antine will be free this morning.
All the quarantines which have
been in force on infected homes of
the city, will be raised Thursday and
those children, having suffered from
the disease or directly exposed to it,
will be again allowed to return to their
duties at school.
The rooms at the Starr and White
water schools, which were closed ten
days ago on account of the epidemic,
were re-opened yesterday with almost
a full attendance. Some few parents
who were still adverse to allowing
their children to attend SO soon, kept
them at home to await further devel-
DIR. Bond feels elated that the dis
ease has been stamped out SO soon, as
do all other residents of the city, as
scarlet fever is considered one of the
most dangerous of known diseases.

Cleveland, o., Jan. 2S.-Detectives
from two Pittsburg agencies, with the
help of the Cleveland police, hope be-
fore morning, to have under arrest
burg matricide, who last fall escaped
from the Dixmont Insane asylum at
Pittsburg, and has been missing ever
since. Mrs. Beilstein, who possess
es considerable fortune in her own
suicide, but recovered. After a long
trial, she was declared insane and
sent to the asylum. She climbed
down a fire escape and leaped into a
waiting automobile and made her es-
cape. A report reached Pittsburg
that a certain prominent and wealthy
Pennsylvania, living near Pittsburg,
was seen on the streets of Cleveland
with the missing heiress. The home
of this man was called by telephone
from a servant that the man was in
Cleveland. So the detectives hasten
ed to Cleveland. The man must have
passed them on the way. as they
found their man had returned home.
Then they called him by long dis
tance telephone and he said he had
just returned from Cleveland. They
asked him what he had been doing
here and he gave the names of several
persons he said he had been visiting.
Upon investigation his story was
found to be false.
1t is claimed that he took Mrs. Bell
stein TO the theater while here and
that he has known her for long time.
The detectives have reason to think
that she is in a certain house on fash
ionable Prospect street, and is in hid
ing. Detectives expect to raid the
house as soon as a search warrant can
be secured.

WANTS MUNICIPAL PLANT
DENIES HIS CORPORATION MAIN
TAINS NEWS BUREAU, BUT AD-
MITS 1T WILL BUY CtTY'S
PLANT WHENEVER POSSIBLE.

Appearing in an exchange, which
came to the Palladium yesterday, was
the following dispatch, sent out from
Richmond:
Richmond, Ind, Jan. 27.-One of
the most live topics in the middle west
at this time is that of municipal own
ership, and scores of towns in Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois. Michigan and other
states are wrestling with it. Many
places that have not electric light
plants, want them, and in other plac-
es where private plants exist there is
a movement toward their purchase.
"Of late there have been reports
that a large cq ubination of capital
sought to secure control of many OF
the electric plants in the state where
there are both municipal and private
plants and this has served to call at
tention to the many troubles that
these various municipal ownership
plants are having, reports indicating
that at no point has the municipal
ownership plan proven entirely salts
factory. Many difficulties have been
encountered in the effort to make them
self-sustaining.

this, and just at this time merry war
is on between the municipal and pri-
vate plants. The private company,
which formerly lighted the street, is
rebuilding it's plant and is going after
the commercial business. while the
municipal plant is installing a new
unit and is calling upon the general
public for it's support. The new unit
will be completed insideof a month.
Those who are favorable to munic
ipal ownership contend that the Rich
nond plant has cost by far too much
and that it is not now furnishing
street lights as cheaply as private
plant could do it and stands ready to
do it. Investment in the Richmond
plant is at this time well on to $780,
900. and there is no assurance that it
will stop at this. 1t is further con-
tended that the plant cannot be man.

Two Cent Fare Will Hurt
Them Worse Than it Will
Railroad Companies.
THE FORMER ANTAGONISTIC
FIGURES SHOW THAT MANY OF
THE INTERURBAN ROADS ARE
BARELY MAKING MONEY AT
THE PRESENT TIME.

There has been much comment in
this city for the past few days, all
caused by the attitude the Indiana
general assembly has taken upon the
uniform two cent rate law. 1t is almost
a certainty that the law will be pass
ed by the legislature and the rail-
road and interurban officials are look
ing about for soft spot to alight
The railroad officials however, have
expressed their willingness to the
proposed lowering Of the rates while
the interurban officials have been
working-not to prevent the lowering
interurban passenger rates are two
cents and in many cases even lower,
but the interurban officials are fight
ing the proposed law because it will
necessarily mean the transfer of much
passenger traffic TO the railroads.
when at the present time the cleo
trio lines control such between local
points. The enactment of the law
will mean much to the interurbans as
railwas~ papers and magazines show
that at the present time the interur-
ban roads of the United States are
paying no dividends to stock holders
while some of the smaller lines are
barely able to pay interest upon their
bonded Indebtedness. In case the
state legislature decides on a uniform
two cent railroad passenger rate the
interurbans will have to reduce their
rates accordingly in order to success
fully compete with the steam roads.

Washington. Jan. 2S.-Mr. Beve-
ridge of Indiana consumed almost the
entire day in the senate in continua-
tion of his child labor speech of some
days ago. He had not concluded
when adjournment was taken and will
take the floor again tomorrow.
His desk and those on each side of
it were piled high with law and ref
erence books from which he frequent
ly quoted. On the wall of the chamb-
er just back of him were two large
maps, painted and marked TO bring
out in relief the anthracite coal reg
ion and the cotton factory states, they
being unusually large employees of
child labor.
His sharp criticism of the child Ia
Dor laws of number of states drew
the fire of many senators. Mr.. Bacon,
(Ga.) attempted to defend his state
but Mr.. Beveridge declared that the
law there was just what the manufac-
turers want and that it was not worth
the paper it was printed on.
TiIIman Says it's HeIIish.
Mr. Tillman admitted that the em-
ployment of children in his state was
"hellish" and he urged the presenta-
tion of such facts from responsible
sources as would convince the legis-
latures of the different states of the
existence of the present evil SO they
would repeal the influence of north
ern millionaires who were operaf:
ing plants in the south with chiLA
rem.
During the discussion Mr.. Spooner
asked Mr.. Beveridge whether he
thought he was more in earnest than
his colleagues in wishing to remedy
child labor evils. The Indianian said
he was.
Il deny it" replied Mr.. Spooner.
Snooner Grows Sarcastic.
Mr.. Spooner grew sarcastic. He
said he had been in the senate much

A Fish Story.

Trout protection! Nonsense" said
. gunner of local eminence. Trout
are amply able to protect themselves.
Look at their depredations among
ducks, for example, and you will agree
with me that it's the birds that need
protection. It's a common thing for a
trout to jump from the water. seize a
duck by the neck, drag the unfortunate
fowl into the depths sufficiently to
leave it's feet sticking in the air. where
it can get no purchase upon the uni
verse, and thus drown it. Then the
trout picks the feathers from the bird,
eats it at its leisure and swims away
out of the jurisdiction of the courts.
Are there any fishermen? None? Too
bad. This would be match for one
of their fish stories"

Dogs Save Lives Of Four.

Kersey, Colo.-A spitz dog and an
other dog OF no pedigree toiled an in
oendiary at an early hour Tuesday
morning and saved the lives of four
persons. Mr.. and Mrs. d. j Woods and
their two sons, aged four and seven
years, respectively. Mr. and Mrs.
Woods were forced to Tee from the
flames in their night clothes, carrying
their two children to safety in their
arms. The entire town would prob
ably have been destroyed had it not
been for the quick and efficient work
dcne by the citizens, who formed "a
bucket brigade to put out the fire.
Mr.. Woods conducted general mer-
camille store in the one story brick
building owned by Mayor Wolff. The
family occupied a four-roo.n concrete
addition adjoining the store building at
the rear as living rooms. A large door
opened between the store and the liv-
Ing quarters.
About 8 o'clock, fire. supposed to
have been started by an incendiary,
was discovered in the storeroom,
which was filled with surplus stock,
boxes, banana crates, hay, etc. by the
two dogs which were allowed to roam
at will through both buildings The
animals ran into Mr.. Woods bedroom,
where he and his wife were asleep, and
began whining and barking so much
that they aroused the sleepers. BY
this time the room was almost filled
with smoke and Woods and his wife
had to grope around for the door and
to the room occupied by their two lit
tie boys. They seized the children in
their arms and escaped from the build
ing just as a wave of fire swept
through.
