The franchise agreement recently en-
tered into by the officials of the Ter
re Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern trac-
tion company and the board of public
works, representing the city of Rich
mond. was brought before council last
evening for ratification, but no action
on the matter was taken and council
adjourned to meet Thursday evening,
at which time the franchise will be
considered
The reason why no action was taken
last evening. was because City Attor-
ney Study informed the councilmen
that the franchise agreement was a
contract and that it had been signed
by representatives OF both parties to
the contract He stated that if any
amendments to the franchise were de-
sired by council. these amendments
could not be made unless they were
perfectly satisfactory to the other par
ty to the contract, the T. H. |. & E. He
suggested that II action on the fran
chise was postponed until Thursday
evening. it was probable that the trac-

The city has verbal agreement with
the traction company that if the agree
ment is ratified. the company will pay
all costs of litigation. These costs do
not include the fees of the associate

court. On the recommendation of the
board Councilman Deuker introduced

Anti-InjunCtion Plank, Favored
BY Taft and Roosevelt,
Meets With Stubborn Oppo-
Sition.
The fight over the platform centers
on these five planks:
Tariff Revision.
Anti-injunction (Labor).
Railroad Rates.
Currency.
Trusts.

Chicago, June 16.-The exact text
of the proposed Republican platform
for the campaign next fall has at last
been made public, but includes moth
ing of startling nature with the ex-
ception of the anti-injunction plank,
which the allies claim will have a dis
astrous effect upon the Taft boom.
Cannon, Lodge and others stand
squarely against the proposed conces-
sion to labor but Taft remains firm
and in a message to Chicago last
night, the Secretary said that under no
circumstances would he consent to its
elimination.
Cannon came to Chicago to work
against any such plank in the plat
form and is demonstrating in no mild
terms. He has announced that he will

Council Passes Amendment
To Old Meat inspection Or
dinance Making 1t Valid in
All Respects.
STOLLE DOES NOT LIKE
GOVERNMENT INSPECTION
Applies to Government to Be
Relieved of inspection, But
1t Is Not Probable He Will
Be Successful.

Last evening council, on suspension
of the rules, adopted. an amendment
to the meat inspection ordinance,
which provides in section l that meat
butchered in this city cannot be sold
here unless first inspected according
to the terms of the federal meat in
spection act. with the exception of
meat butchered by farmers not regul-
arly engaged in the butchering and
sale of meat. When the vote was
first taken to pass the amendment un-
der suspension of the rules. the mo-
ton was lost because Councilman
Bartel voted in the negative. He fear
ed that butchers in neighboring towns,
like Fountain City. where the slaugh-
tering was not done under govern
ment inspection, would take advant-
age of this amendment. Take for
instance a butcher in Fountain City.
He might send some of his meat to
Richmond by farmers and dispose OF
it," said Mr.. Bartel.
BarteI Appeased.
Toward the close of the courvfl
meeting, City Attorney Study stated
that it was necessary to adopt the or
dinance in its amended form without
further delay and that he was sure
Mr.. Bartel would consent to a recon
sideration of the motion to- pass the
amendment under suspension of the
rules. Mr.. Bartel remarked that Mr.
Study mist be mind reader, then he
said that he might consent to the ad
option of the amendment providing
that it was made perfectly plain tc
him. He then brought up again the
point about the possibility of county
butchers entering into a conspiracy
with the farmers to sell their meat ir
Richmond. Mr.. BarteFs fears were
finally calmed and the amendment
was adopted.

DARK HORSES

Nothing changes so quickly as
American politics, unless 1t be the

preston which so many times has
been conscripted into service, "the

many logical candidates" before the

tion5. but usually the logic of them
