This Road Is Doing Its Part
Toward the interchange
Of Freight.
FROG is BEING PLACED.
THE WHOLE MATTER NOW RESTS
ON THE ATTITUDE OF THE
PENNSYLVANIA, BUT NO STATE
MENT is MADE.

Anticipating a favorable decision on
the part of the Indiana railroad COM
mission for the freight interchange be-
tween the c., c. e L. and the Penn
sylvania roads, in this city, force of
men under the supervision of Road
master Mulligan of the c., C. & l.. has
begun laying the frog from the c., c..
& L. tracks near the point at which
the spur between the two railroads
will be made, when it will eventually
be ordered by the state railroad COM
mission. The laying of the frog is ev-
idence that the c., c. e l.. is more
than willing for the interchange and
will do everything within its power to
promote its realization.
The Pennsylvania as far as the To-
cal offices is concerned, has taken no
further action on the freight inter
change than was taken shortly after
the hearing before the commission,
when that body sat in Richmond The
Pennsylvania then objected to the in
terchange but the petition to set aside
the arguments of the Commercial club
on the question, was not needed by
the commission.
Up to the Pennsylvania.
A local official of the Pennsylvania
says that the whole matter is now up
TO the general officials of the Penn
sylvania company in Pittsburg and
nothing more would be done by the
local men. From the attitude taken
by local Pennsylvania officials, people
interested in the interchange have
been led to believe that if the Penn
sy1vania is ruled against on the mat
ter, the railroad will fight the battle
TO the finish and carry it through
several courts before the contentious
are finally settled.

That the United States still has a Sc
rious problem to handle in the Philip
pine Islands was clearly emphasized
Monday night at the chautauqua by
President f. b. Bryan, OF Franklin Col
lege, who spoke on THE Philippine
Question"
President Bryan took up the subject
of whether the United States did right
in remaining in the islands after Dew
ey's victory. IF the question were up
for debate said he, "and ! had my
choice OF sides ] would be at loss
whether to take the affirmative or the
negative. 1t is question with two
sides. II is my feeling. though I am
not at all sure about the correctness
of it, that the United States would have
been better off If it had sailed out OF
the harbor after Dewey's victory and
left the islanders to themselves. be-
lieve we have problems big enough at
home to command all of our time and
effort
Now that the United states has the
islands, however, the speaker felt that
we should give our best thought to
solving the problem. In speaking OF
the government of the Filipinos. Pres
ident Bryan commented most favorably
on Secretary Taft, who was formerly
provincial governor
Observed at Close Range.
President Bryan, who filled the place
made vacant on the program by the
failure OF Senator Bob Taylor 10 keep
his engagement, was commissioner OF
education in the Philippines after the
American invasion and in such capac-
ity organized the school system there.
He had splendid opportunity to study
the Fiipinos at close range and his
for this and various other
reasons have much significance.
A large audience gathered at the
chautauqua, many of them not know
ing that Senator Taylor had cancelled
his engagement. To speak to an as
sembly which is expecting one thing
and gets another, is hard task and
this was brought out by Mr.. Shaw in
his introduction of President Bryan.
The managers manner was most kind
appreciation of it in his opening words.
The audience took the situation In a
happy manner and when the lecture
was over few were disappointed. as
President Bryan not only delivered a
pleasing address, but it was on q SUBJ
iect about which many were not COR
rectly informed.
President Bryan said that he would
relate facts connected with the estab-
ishment Of civil government in the
rather than advocate any
.heories. The speaker declared that
ne is not and does not intend to be
candidate for any office and that he
vent to the Philippines without an ak
% grind. For these reasons he felt
hat he could represent the situation
n the Philippines just as it was and is.
Wrong impression Given.
A wrong impression of the Philip
zines had been formed by great many
American people. according to the
peaker. through the Philippine exhi-
,ition at the St. Louis Fair. Here Wis
tors to the fair saw the Iggorotes
lance and eat dogs and thought that
hey had seen representative Philip
'ino life. President Bryan declared

SAM MAYF|ELD NOW
DUE At PLAINF|ELD
COIOred Boy Seems to Be In
capable of Keeping Out
Of Trouble.
BAREFOOT IN THE COURT.
HAZEL MCKAY, ARRAiGNED AS AN
INCORRiGIBLE, WAS ALLOWED
TO GO ON HER PROMISE TO
BEHAVE.

Sam Mayfield. little colored boy
who seems incapable of keeping out
of trouble was sentenced in Juvenile
court to the reform school at Plain
field. Sammy some time ago got in
trouble for stealing money from bar
Der snop wnere he was employed.
Judge Fox overlooked this offense be-
cause Sammy promised to be good
and go at once to Jeffersonville, Ind.
where his grandmother lives. No
sooner was Sammy given his liberty
than he stole a bicycle. He stated that
he committed the theft so that he
could ride to Jeffersonviile.
Judge Fox told the boy that he was
going to send him to Plainfield where
he could get an education and find a
good home. Sammy was Indifferent
but stated before leaving the court
room that he was not stuck on being
sent to Plainfield. The lad appeared
of shoes but stated that he threw
them away because they were too
large for him.
Case of Hazel Mckay.
Hazel Mckay, nice looking color
ed giri, fifteen years old, was also
in juvenile court on a charge of in
corrigibility and for stealing money
from her parents. Mrs. Mckay stated
that her daughter is a good girl when
she wanted to be but she hardly ever
wanted to be. Hazel told Judge Fox
in straight forward manner tnat she
had not been good but said that she
had misbehaved because her parents
would not let her have company or go
out and have good time. She de-
MED that she had ever stolen money
from her parents but admitte,. that
she had gone buggy riding with boys
and that her father at times aad to
go to dances and take her nome. 1.-The
only time / ever got cut of the house
was when / sneaked out" the girl
said. Hazel was allowed to go OF a
promise to live with her parents and
to obey them, or to find employment
and conduct herself as good girls
should. Judge Fox told Mr.. and Mrs.
Mckay that it was a mistake to keep
too closely confined.
