Traction Case Is All That Pre-
vented City Attorney Study
From Stepping Down and
Out. He Claims.
! SHIPPERS ARE MUCH
DISSATISFIED NOW.
Claim for the Sake of a Small
Point They Have Had to
Pay Out in the Neighbour
hood of 100000.

1t is stated that at a conference
held last week between the board Of
public works and local shippers in re-
gard to the traction question, City Al
torney T. J. Study announced that had
it not been for the unsettled condf
ton of this controversy, which is nov
in litigation in the federal court al
Indianapolis. he would have rendered
his resignation as city attorney some
time ago. He said that had he taken
this action, he probably would have
been accused of retiring under fire.
On the settlement of this question il
is not known whether Mr.. Study will
or will not tender his resignation.
There is no concealing the fact that
the local shippers are highly indignant
at the long delay occasioned in ths
settlement of the traction difficulties,
and that they will take vigorous steps
to force a settlement. Mr.. Study sug.
gested to the shippers that they go be

find Mr.. MCGOWAN TO be "a ID con
trary man" prominent jobber TOLD
the city attorney that he thought this
description to be more 'profane than
eloquent" Mr.. Study replied that il
was meant to be more emphatic than
| eloquent.
The only difference existing between
| the city and the traction company. IL
| developed at the conference held by the
| jobbers and the city officials. was the
question concerning transfers from 10
cal 10 traction cars and vice versa. The
traction company is willing 10 operate
its freight cars in the north end Of
| town and TO comply with the other mi
nor demands of the city. The existing
difference effects only out of town peo.

annually because of the attitude of the

this point of contention and come ts
satisfactory terms with the tractioB

| 1t is expected that within the mex
ten days Judge Anderson of the Indian

traction question.

Expected That 5aIoting Will Break
All Records.

Shelbyville. Ind, April Cit is con
Sdently believed that the balloting for
congressman at the convention. which
will be held in this city Thursday will
be drawn out longer than that at any
previous convention in the state.
There are six candidates in the race
and each will go into the CQnVention
with his own county delegation solid
for him. Three counties have no can
didate and it is expected all of these
will divide their vote Rush county
has been counted for w. 0. Barnard
OF Henry county but since James r.
Watson, of Rushville, has been nomin-
ated for governor it is believed this
county will have 10 divide its vote II
IT pointed out that it would be poor
politics for Rush county TO throw a
solid vote or large majority to any
one candidate in view of Watsons can
dfdacE- This is expected to help some
candidates who had not counted on
any support from Rush. Shelby and

The County Commissioners,
Through John Dynes, Ex-
press Their Opinion in Re-
gard to Jail Board Bills.
ADMIT THEY DID NOT
UNDERSTAND SYSTEM.
Puzzled Over Statements of
Sheriffs and Did Not See
Why They Charged for
Meals Not Served.

I'VE will have him adhere to the
law, whatever the law is said John
Dynes, president of the board of
Wayne county commissioners, when
asked this morning what action will
be taken in regard to the allowance of
board bills to the county sheriff. This
means that hereafter the sheriff will
have to certify to the number of
meals fed each prisoner and will
cause him to discontinue the practice
of putting in bill for board for an
entire day when only one meal or
probably none was served
The ruling of the commissioners will
mark a departure in the conduct of
the system of bookkeeping that has
been in vogue in the office of the sher-
iff of this county from time immem-
orial The law stipulates the sheriff
shall be allowed forty cents per day
for boarding prisoners. The law is
interpreted to mean by day" three
full meals are to be served. 1t is held
by John F. Robbins, county attorney.
and his Judgment is authenticated by
the supreme court. that a sheriff has
not the right to charge for meals uu-
served. and that the commissioners
can allow him pay only at the rate of
13 Is cents per meal.
The practice in this county. the
same as in others of the state has
been for the sheriff to present a bill
for days board for a prisoner if he
were placed in his custody for only a
part Of a day. the same as if he were
there an entire day. Il was also Gus
tOmary in case prisoner were admit
ted and afterward bailed out or releas-
ed for some other reason to charge a
full days board. even if no food we're
served The sheriff is required to
prepare a sworn statement as TO the
correctness of the bills he presents
for board In these statements in the
past the number of days has been
specified but not the number of meals.
One meal or no meal appeared as a
day. A change will be necessitated.
Did Not Understand.
The commissioners did not take IN
the matter in any formal way for dis
cussion. They admitted they had not
they have been presented in the past
as calling for pay for meals that had
not been served, President Dynes ex
pressed the opinion of the entire
board when he stated the law will gov
ern the actions of the board and the
sheriff will be compelled to comply
with the statutes
In the effort to even-up in as far as
possible. Sheriff Meredith will compel
prisoners sent to the county Jail TO re
main in his custody the entire length
OF time prescribed for by their sen
tence. Heretofore it had been custo
mary to discharge prisoner on the
morning OF the last day called for b,
his sentence. Hereafter he must re

"Are You an Anarchist" Was

TWO MEN REFUSED
AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP.
Antonio Ferrante and Angelo

Examination Before Gov

Both of the local applicants for final
papers of naturalization were denied

Wayne circuit court this morning

chief naturalization examiner. repre-
sented the government and it was upon
his recommendation that the petitions
were refused. 1t was the first time
the government has been represented
by a special agent, since naturalization
proceedings have been instituted in
Wayne county. The examiner was
present in compliance with the new
laws governing naturalization. One ap-
plicant was refused because of his poor
moral character and the other because
of his lack of knowledge of the United
States constitution and the national
and state systems of government and
inability to read the English language.
Are You an Anarchist"
Particular emphasis was laid on the

examiner Crutchfield. This is in ac-

a siXteen-year American girl and
then true to the principles of many for

forced her to seek refuge for herself
and child with her parents, was refused
his application. The representative of
the government had heard of the rec
ord of Ferrante and was not impressed
favorably with his marital history.
Ferrante admitted that he left wife
and child in Italy when he came to
America, and that he married the Rich
mond girl before he learned his wife
in his native land had died. He stat
ed he had no proof of her death. He
said his mother had written him his
wife was dead, but the examiner re-
fused to accept this statement as N1b-
stantial proof MI Cruchfield claim
ed there was no true evidence the wife
was dead, and furthermore F'errante
had not waited until after her repOrtes
death before he married again. AS

Imperiale satisfied the examiner and

His Resignation.
ASQUITH MAY SUCCEED.
HAS BEEN SUMMONED BY THE
klNG-HE is LOOKED UPON BY
THE PEOPLE WITH FAVOR AND
WILL BE WELL RECEIVED.

London, April 6.-Great Britain is in
mier or Ministry. The long expected
resignation OF Sir Henry Campbell
officially announced According TO
the court circular he resigned on the
urgent recommendation of his medical
advisors. As the constitution of the
country provides no automatic success
sor it rest with the king TO choose a
new head of the government In ac-
cordance with custom and precedent
the whole cabinet resigns with the
premier. No step to appoint a min
istrv can be taken until Herbert H
Asquith. the chancellor of the exche-
quer. who has been summoned to Biar-
rity for the purpose, has seen the
king.
The position of the country is quite
unprecedented, there being no prev
ious example of a charge occurring in
was abroad. On this account the
course of procedure TO be followed is
in some doubt.
Sir Henry's condition remains un.
changed. The king, in telegra phins
his acceptance of the premiers resig
nation, conveyed an expression of his
regret and este EN-. with best wishes
for Sir Henry's recovery.
Although so long anticipated, the &C
tual announcement of the Premier's
resignation had not been expected foi
some days yet, and comes somewhat
as a surprise to the country. Sill
Henry's condition had shown some
slight improvement recently. and his
resignation was not due to any sudder
impairment of his physical condition
