Earlham. at Butler and at Wabash last
night. the two Earlham teams were de-
feated. In the debate held at Earl

university. one of the judges of the
evening, stated that the arguments of
each one of the Butler men was an
oration in itself, we'll balanced. finish
ed and convincing. On the other hand
the members of the Earlham team
talked in a loose. disconnected man
ner, stammering so in places that the
audience lost the thought. In addi-
tion to this. many arguments present
ed We're completely disproyed by the
team from Butler.
The Earlham affirmative team was
the better fthe two. coming off sue
cessful in the several debates that have
been held at Earlham as preliminaries
10 this final effort. Professor Harlow
Lindley. who heard the teams debate
at the college on Thursday evening
stated that he had never heard any
team debate in so organized a manner
as did the affirmative team.
In the debate at Wabash college last
night but one of the judges stood by
the Quakers the other two giving the
Wabash team the victory. Prof.

Local Management of Central
Union Apprised That Com
pany win Put Wires in Un-
derground System.
EVERY REASON WHY COM
PANY SHOULD COMPLY.
The Recent Ordinance Is a
Victory for the Bell People,
As They Go Underground
With an Open Franchise.

Manager Hutton of the local Central

ceived news from Superintendent
Cline of Indianapolis that the Central
Union has decided to accept without
further opposition the Main street pole
ordinance recently passed by the city
council and that a large consignment
of conduits had been shipped TO Rich
mond. These will arrive Monday and
will be stored for the present on vacant
lots. There is much preliminary
work TO be done before the workmen
begin excavations on Main street. The
last ordinance provides that all work
must be done under the supervision
and with the approval of the city coun-
Gil. superintendent Cline himself.
will arrive in the city soon and will
go before the board of public works
with his plans. If all goes well the
Central Union hopes 10 have its work
unaeF way DS the middle OF April
Victory for Bell.
That the Central Union should
comply with the last ordinance was TO
be expected, for that document was ia
all essentials victory for the Bell
| people. 1t will be recalled that the
! first telephone ordinance passed in
| 1906, carried with 1t a maximum rate
clause. This provision did not look
good to the Central Union with its
open. overhead franchise. and the COM
pany objected. The Home Telephone
company. promptly accepted the ordi-
| nance and its wires now rest peaceful
| ly in conduits laid in the alleys north
of Main street The Bell people did
not comply and some weeks ago the
| city council passed the present pole or
dinance. compelling the removal of all
poles from Main street Also stating
| that all wires should go underground.
| After some delay. Mayor Schillinger
| signed the ordinance. Sifted down.
the ordinance means simply that the

FLORIDA FARMER
 SHOT AND MAY DIE

Pensacola, Fla. May 2I.-tspecial.) "A special from ounicy, Fla, says:
 Early yesterday morning T. R. Smith, a farmer, living five miles south of Quincy, was shot and perhaps fatally wounded by man named Mas sey.
 The dimcult was the result of Smiths going to the field where Mas sey was at work. Smith says he wanted to obtain Massey's full name in order that he (Smith). might have warrant sworn out for Massey's ar rest. It. seems that Smith became angry because Massey discharged a pistol on his premises Sunday after noon. Massey claims to have killed a snake
 Smith carried a winchester rifle in his buggy when he went to see Massey. Matters seemed at first to have become amicably settled, when Massey appeared aggrieved that Smith should hunt hinR up with a winches- ter, whereupon. it is said. Smith reached in the buggy for the rifle and Massey shot three times. all shots taking effect
 Massey is employed on the Ball farm, as assistant foreman. and is known to be a peaceably inclined citizen. Smith is said to be a dangerous man and Is alleged to have killed several men,

KAVANAUGH EXPLAINS
 BAXTER'S SUSPENSION

In reply to a letter that Vice Presi- dent Bernard Prank. of the Montgom- cry Baseball Association had written to President KavanauKh. regarding the Baxter matter, MT. Frank yesterday re- ceived telegram from Judge Kava- naugh stating that Baxter had been suspended for ten days beginning last Saturday and that O'Brien had been suspended for ten days beginning this (Friday) morning.
 In conclusion. Judge KavanauEh stated that Baxters' language and act ions were inexcusable. Baxter will get back in the game next Wednesday, playing the last two games in Little Rock. He will be all right for the twelve games at home beginning May 29. This is a big help as the Moose is one of tho most valuable men, on the team and the machine, like infield is a bit broken up without the big first base men though Elmer Bliss isl playing the bag in jam up shape -E
 OBrien's suspension will not be lift ed until May 31. This is better than was expected and Judge Kavanaughs course is most satisfactory to the local fans, the only kick being that OBr~ was allowed to work for five days-- from Saturday until yesterday-before being suspended.
