Construction Superintendent
Kline Says Lawyers of Bell
Company Have Passed on
Merits of Local Measure.
LIGHT, HEAT AND POWER
COMPANY MAY ESCAPE.
City May Allow That Company
To Follow Its Lead ant
Place Wires Overhead, But
Off of Main Street.

1t is quite probable that the Terre-
Haute. Indianapolis & Eastern traction
company will decide not to build a con
duit in Main street for the purpose OF
placing it's feed wire underground
Traction officers believe that a feed
wire through the city can be eliminat-
ed by the placing of heavier trolley
wires on Main street. This work
means a reconstruction of the cOmpa-
ny's overhead system, including the
substitution of iron poles for wood
poles. as required by the pole ordi-
nance and would be much cheaper than
the constructing of a conduit system
What action the Light. Heat & Pow
er company will take in regards TO the
pole ordinance is not known, officers of
Ills company not having expressed
themselves on this matter. Since the
decision of the city government not to
place the Main street municipal wires
underground. it is up TO the city's com
petitors to build at its own expense a
conduit system. that is if the ordinance
is enforced against this company. The
other companies effected by the Ordi-
nance use low tension wires and will
refuse TO allow the Light, Heat - Pow
er Company. with its high voltage
wires. to share any conduit with them
In consideration OF the fact that the
city will not comply with the ordi-
nance, on the grounds that a city can
not legislate against itself. and will re-
move it's poles from Main street and
stretch its wires elsewhere. it is quite
probable that the Light Heat & Power
company will be granted the same
privilege.
Construction superintendent Kline
of the Central Union Telephone COM
pany has informed the board that the
Main street pole ordinance has been
carefully examined by the legal depart
ment of his company. and the opinion
was given that the ordinance was val
i'd and enforceable. The board now
feels justified for having entered de-
malls TO the report that the ordinance
was unconstitutional.

Heeding the intercession of parents,
attorneys and friends of the principal,
Judge Henry c. FON of the Wayne cir

prieve to George Barker, the young
polo player. who was accused of
grand larceny. Barker was given his
freedom with the Injunction of the
court that he lead an upright life in
the future and repay TO his parents all
of the money stolen from them. This
amounts to $245, according to the
claims of Barker, but his parents have
stated $3.50 is missing from the fruit
jar in which the money had been hid
den. Barker gave faithful promise
that he will do as the judge instructed.
He is but nineteen years old and the
young mans experience is such as to
psoyide him with a lesson for his life

Parents Visit Judge.

Although they declared at first they
would. prosecute their son with the
hope that he might be reformed, the
parents of Barker relented last even
ing and called upon Judge Fox at his
home and asked that he be given
some consideration not always accord
ed criminals and allowed the chance
TO reform outside of prison bars or
penitentiary walls. They told the
Judge they understood the state re-
formatory to be the same institution
as the state reform school for boys.
They claimed the police had told them
George would be sent to the reforma-
tory upon conviction and they believ-
ed this 10 mean he would go to Plain
field. Later they learned the reform
atory actually is but branch of the
penitentiary, where are confined Grim
inals under thirty years of age at the
time of their conviction. The Judge
was impressed with the apparent fact
Mr.. and Mrs. Barker did not realize
what it would mean TO their son, if he
were sent TO the reformatory.

MISAPPROPRIATION ALLEGED

After a week spent in a hide-and-seek
game with the police, Thomas Gaines,
a negro. was yesterday arrested by De
tective-Sergeants Fohs and Templeton.
Gaines was wanted for a check trans
action by which it is charged he Sc
cured s27 without giving any return
for it. Fred Hunt, of Hunt Brothers,

for SGT to buy a runabout, which the
negro said he could get for that sum.

days Hunt had the check, which was
on a New York bank, stopped. In the
meantime, it is said, Gaines had cashed
the check in Newark.

CardellO.

A certain young woman of Soho,
whose name is Antonio Nardello, swore
before Judge Ten Eyck today that four
spry goats went astray and ate all the
good things in her garden away.
The goats. so she swore, belonged TO
Mr.. Fegore, and injured her six little
peach trees or more. And not only
that, but they ate up all fiat a big lot
of green stuff and lettuce and that.
AS a result of these ''%butting-in'' pro-
pensities the complainant got judgment
for $40 damages and 1910 costs in the
court of Soho. and the ease was up on
appeal in the Common Pleas.
What did the goats eat?" the plain
tiff was asked.
Everything was the prompt reply.
When Mrs. Catherine Di Benedetto,
a neighbor, was asked about the iden-
LITIGATION of the goats she remarked
such lusty appetites.
What were the goats doing?"
"Doing!" echoed the witness. Doing?
Why. what do goats do? They ate and
