that it would be necessary to introduce

Gil voted to postpone action he did not

When asked by Mr. Bartel why he
objected to immediate action, Mr.. Wet

ARE VOTING STRAIGHT.
indianapolis Conditions Worry the
Party Leaders.

FdFIy ISdOSFS.
Indianapolis, Nov. a.-There is one
puzzling question being asked here to-
day-What does the unusually heavy
vote and the fact the voters seem to
be casting straight ballots almost en-
tfrely, mean? The leaders Of both
the leading parties confess the prob
lem has gone beyond their ability to
solve. great deal of scratching had
been anticipated but such does not
seem to be the fact. Democratic lead
ers claim it means republicans are
deserting their party and because of
disfavor for scratching are casting n
straight democratic ticket. But on the
other hand the republican leaders as
sert the lack of scratching means sat
isfaction of the republican voters and
their support of a straight national
and state ticket.
BY l o'clock this afternoon fully IS
per cent of the vote had been polled.
This is unusual and in fact record
breaking in its size. The interest
seems to be intense but all surface
indications point to remarkably
quiet day. No trouble of any import
ance has occurred here. The weather
is good and the voters have kept up a
steady stream to the polls.
Reports from outside counties shows
that the same conditions exist
throughout the state. Everywhere
the vote has been unusually heavy
and cast exceptionally early. Local
authorities have been notified of no
trouble anywhere. Prospects are ia
vorable to the largest vote ever cast
In Indiana being recorded.
The chief interest centers in the
governorship, betting being even
money.

South First Street Improve
ment Case Is Yet Un-
settled.
MAY GOTO SUPREME COURT
ATTORNEY FOR STARR PIANO
COMPANY STATES HE WILL
PROBABLY APPEAL JUDGE
FOX'S RULING.

Council was appealed to as final
arbiter to compromise the South First
street improvement case, which the
Starr Piano Company, through it's at
torney, John F. Robbins, has filed
bonds to have an appeal taken to the
supreme court. Attorney Henry l..
Johnson. representing the estate of
John Schneider. the contractor who
made the Improvement, Joined with
Mr.. Robbins in asking compromise.
He said that Schneider had performed
his duties as required and his estate
was entitled to be reimbursed for his
services, but if the matter was taken
to the supreme court it would probably
be two years before a settlement was
made. In justice, he said, to all con-
tractors council should compromise
this case so that the heirs of Mr..
Schneider could promptly receive the
money due his estate. He said that
Mr.. Schneider had acted in good faith
and that council should see to it that
the city did likewise.
T. J. Study, representing the city.
advised against compromise. He said
that the improvement had been made
on the petition of the Starr Piano
Company. and in his opinion that COM
pany had been benefited 5000 more
than the benefits assessed to it by the
board of public works.
History of the Case.
Mr.. Robbins stated to council that
the total cost of improving the street,
including the cost of the storm sewer,
was 1864. The Starr Piano Com
pany's assessment was fixed at So
1851. This assessment was appealed
to the circuit court and petition was
made to have three freeholders make
a reassessment. On motion of Mr..
Study the court ruled this provision OF
the towns and cities code was uncon-
stitutional. Mr.. Robbins stated that
he then went to the board, as did Mr..
Johnson. and asked that it recommend
to council to compromise the case. He
said the board refused to do SO. Mr..
Robbins stated that if council failed to
do this he was prepared to appeal
Judge Fox's ruling to the supreme
court.
Mr.. Robbins stated that it had al
ways been the custom of the city to
pay the entire cost of storm sewers out
of the general fund, but in the South
First street improvement, the Starr
Piano Company had been assessed halt
of the total cost of the storm sewer
which amounted to $4,242. Mr.. Rob
bins said that if the total amount OF
it's assessment was reduced to S4,So1 ii
would be willing to accept the com
promise He thought the city should
pay $1,000 more as its share of the
sewer construction cost.
Mr.. Study stated that the Starr
Piano Company had been solely bene-
flied by the improvement and that the
storm sewer had been made because
the street could not be improved until
drainage had been provided for. He
strenuously objected to a compromise
Next Friday evening the council will
meet with the board to consider the
proposed compromise.
