The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1908-11-18

Copies of the above letter have been
sent to about three hundred Wayne
county people known to be actively
interested in furthering the movement
to drive the saloons out of Wayne
county.
This is the first step taken by the
Ministerial association and the Wayne
County Civic league in the crusade it
is preparing to wage against the sa-
looms of Richmond, Cambridge City
and East Germantown, the only wet
spots in Wayne county.
The county local option law, which
is not yet in effect, requires that the
petition for holding local option elec-
tion shall not be prese nted to the
county commissioners. who set the
date for the election, unless the petit
tion has been signed by at least twen-
ty per cent of the voters of the coun-
ty wherein the election is held. There
are, judging from the vote cast at the
last election for the first elector on
the republican ticket and the first pre-
sidential elector on the democratic tic
ket, 11,16S voters in Wayne county.
1t would be necessary, therefore, to
secure the signatures of 1924 voters
to a petition for a county local option
election.

Election Cost $4,000.

$4,000 or very near the same expense
as the recent general election. The
same number of precincts and voting
places would have to be provided. 1t
is the kind of an election, the cost of
which might be diminished by the use
of voting machines. There would
have to be election commissioners,
sheriffs, clerks, judges and all the 9TH
er officials such as provided for by
the general election laws.
The petition for the election must
be signed by not less than twenty per
cent of the aggregate vote cast in the
county for secretary of state at the
last general election. No voter can
sign his name to the petition after it
is filed. nor withdraw his name after
the petition has been filed. The elec-
tion commission shall be composed of
the county auditor and two resident
free holders. one known to favor the
sale of intoxicants for use as a bever-
age and the other to oppose.
Whenever an election has been held
under the provisions of the act. no
subsequent election shall be held
there under until the expiration or at
least two years from the last preced-
ing election.
If majority of the legal votes cast
at the election shall be in favor of
prohibiting the sale of Intoxicating
liquors as beverage. after ninety
days from the holding of the election
all licenses for the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors granted in the county after
the passage of the act shall be null
and void. The holder of the license
shall be liable for any sale of liquors
made by him thereafter the same as
if no license had been issued him. If
the holder of the void license surren-
der il within ninety days the county,
city or town issuing the license shall
refund proportionate amount of the
money paid

Liberals Active.

1t is understood that the liberals"
have been as active as the tempe rance
workers in preparing for the struggle
over the wet or dry proposition
and, it is said. if local option elec-
tion is ordered the liberals" will not
be found unprepared Some of their
most active workers state that many
business men who We're thought to be
in favor of driving the saloons out of
the county have announced that they
will vote wet, fearing that city the
size of Richmond would suffer loss
of business should the county be vot-
ed dry"
Active workers for the temperance
cause state that it is an assured fact
that the county will be voted dry"
and that they are daily securing re-
cruits to their cause.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Operations Less Affected by Uncertain
 ty in Business but Trading Dull.

New York, Feb. 6.-The stock mar ket today was less affected by the evil dences of the contracted stage to which though those evidences continue to ac- cumlate. The market was in fact, unresponsive to anything and for much of the time was lethargic. Brief excur- slons into one of the other account by professional room traders were respon- sible for the wavering fuctations of prices. but these ventures were never carried far and were retraced almost as, soon as taken. The general public and so far as could be discerned, the important class af capital interests, were profoundly indifferent to the mar ket Their attitude fairly represents the present uncertainty of the world of capaital and finance over the future. The further curtailment of iron output during January without preventing the present uncertainty of the world of capital and finance over the future. The further curtailment of iron output during January without preventing some further accumulation of stocks and a rate of production at the end of the month which promises a further reduction are convincing proof that the shrinkage in the iron and steel trade shown by the U. s. steel corporations report of earnings for the last quarter of last year is still in progress. Re ports of railroad gross earnings from the latest returns coming 10 hand from day to day reflect the falling off in traffic and measures of economy for a commensurate reduction of expenses indicate the decline still going on in the wage fund in course of distribution with the necessary consequence of di- minishing consumptive demand for commodities. The publication of the weekly return of the Bank of England served to check the rising course of in- vestment securities In the London mar ket. although the decline in the banks gold holdings Is due to repayment of obligations to the bank of France in- cured during our own demands upon the London supplies during the crisis here. The simultaneous return of the bank of France shows a correspon- denee benefit from this movement. Discounts advanced in London in re- sponse to this showing. The fall in sterling exchange here was checked but our money market was unaffected. Price changes at the end of the day were unimportan..
 Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value, s2,056,0oo
 U. s. bonds were unchanged on call.

Quite heavy selling of Reading Steel and Union Pacific offset the support that was given to Reading at par; to Copper at 50, and to Union Pacific at 119 The bears were inclined to force out stock wherever they could make an impress sion on small offerings.

 On arriving at the creek they pros ceedcd up stream, casting at every iav- orable looking pool, having fairly good luck and enjoying all kinds Of sport. Mir. Murphy was shod with heavy boots that somewhat impeded graceful nsvi. gation and when he chanced to step on the slippery side Of a slautiuG boulder his feet went up in the air aud he hit the earth with a thud that left DO mis. take as 10 i,s intensity.

Heaccck he hobbled back to a cab, in near the mouth of the creek where the night was spent, suffering such ex. quisite tortures as only one can suffer when possessed of a broken bone.

The experience Of the Nome fleet Of vessels in the ice this spring impressed the company with the necessity Of in- stallinp wireless on all Of its vessels en- gagged in the northern trade. The fol- lowing report is taken from Seattle paper:
 The United Wireless Telegraph com pany yesterday received a contract from the Alaska Steamship company for the installation of wireless telegraph up- paratus on the steamships Victoria and Yucatan. This commission is a direct outcome of the recent misadventures of the first Nome fleet from Seattle, the vessels of which were out Of touch with the world iu the ice foes of Boring sen. II any Of them had been equipped with wireless the minds Of the relatives and the four thousand passengers and crews could have been set at rest, for pcacti- cally the whole time the ships were in the ice they were within easy distance of communication with the government wireless station at Nome.
 The Alaska Steamship company re. ceived telegraphic inquiry from all parts of the country, the telephones were constantly engaged in answering relatives and friends of the passengers living in Seattle and hundreds of people daily made personal calls at the com pans office. As day by day passed and the officials were compelled to repeat that no word had been received some oI the scenes enacted in the steamship compauy'S office were heartrendlng and the officials were many times chargct with concealing a disaster.
 To prevent a recurrence of such ex- periences the officials of the company decided to install at once, wireless in struments on two Of their vessels, aut the equipment will be added to the other steamships as soon as practicable
