today sold the South L street bonds
to the Dickinson Trust company on
q bid of par and accrued interest.
There were no other bids offered. The
issue is $4,000, there being twenty
bonds of $500 each. two payable an
nually for ten years. They bear
41a per cent. interest payable semi an
nually. Bonds and interest are paya-
BILE at the First National Bank, Rich
mond. There were half dozen In
dianapolis brokers negotiating for the
issue but they could not make satisfac-
tory arrangements.
None of the companies engaged in
buying gravel road bonds in Indiana
will make an outlay of their own
equal to the par value of the bonds
sought. They will pay from 95 to 81
per cent, the contractor for the i'm
provement and others interested in
the road making up the balance as a
bonus for the bonding company. The
actual bid to the county, however,
must not be less than par. The Dick

sold today subject to the scrutiny and
approval of their attorney who will
see to 1t that all procedures with ref
erence to their issue conformed to
the law.

Young Roumanian Victim of
Fake Employment
Agency.
is PUT UNDER ARREST.
WAS BEATING HIS WAY THROUGH
CITY ON TRAIN-NOT SENT TO
JAIL BUT PLACED TO WORK ON
SEWER.

Light was thrown on the fraudu-
lent employment bureaus such as pre-
vail in this country by a sixteen year
old Roumanian, who was taken from a
freight train in the local Panhandle
yards last night. AS near as it can
be spelled in English the name of
the young foreigner is Bade Eli. He
is unable to converse in English only
by brief sentences. His vocabulary is
very limited. as also is his ability to
understand the language. He says he
arrived in the United States about five
months ago. He made the trip as a
stowaway among the steerage. His
brother in Chicago sent him money
and he endeavored to reach the windy
city. An employment agency's rep
resentative told him they would find
work for him at Canton. O.. for So
Arriving at Canton he found there
were thirty foreigners who had been
sent there in the same manner and all
after the same work"
At Canton the bunch was divided up
and distributed in groups of five to va
rious points. Eli was sent to Crest
line. o. But there was no work and
with native instinct he began to wan
der about the country. Without money
he secured transportation by stealing
rides on freight trains. He was ar
rested for this offense at Columbus,
O., and sent to the work house for
thirty days. Released at that place
he boarded another freight despite
his Incarceration for the offense and
came to this city. He was pulled from
the train here but broke away and
ran back. He climbed on the train
three times before the officer retained
him and took him to Jail.
The young immigrant expressed his
willingness to work this morning and
the police believed it would do no
good to send him to Jail as he would
not understand the nature of the of.
fense. One of the officers took him to
West Richmond and the stranger join
ed the construction gang at work on
the sewer. There are others of his
countrymen employed on the sewer

Commercial Club Committee
Will Ask That Proper Rat
ing Be Given to Business
Houses of City.
RELIABLE ADJUSTORS
ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY
Pointed Out That Much of the
Present Dissatisfaction Is
Due to Careless Listing of
Property.

An important meeting of the special
fire insurance committee and the Off
cial board of the Commercial club, al
so the fire insurance agents, was held
last evening and definite action was
taken in regards to securing lower
rates for business establishments.
One of the resolutions adopted by the
special committee and presented to
the official board reads as follows:
THAT it be stated to these insur-
ance agents. that it is the desire of
the Commercial club that each one of
them take up the question with each
of their companies as to the restoring
of equitable rates in this city, with the
understanding that these agents will
be given reasonable time in which
to take it up with their companies and
accomplish the results desired"
The meeting last evening lasted un.

in an effort to secure lower rates for
this city. 1t is practically an assure
fact that the state fire insurance bur

The special committee agrees that

but the committee contends that the

The committee will also recommend

buildings and requiring that all new
buildings be constructed in such ;

Light, Heat and Power Com
pany Will Not Put Them
In Conduits Though.
MANAGER LAUGHS AT CITY.
SAYS THAT NO COURT WOULD
HOLD CITY'S CONTENTION
THAT 1T COULD NOT LEGIS-
LATE AGAINST SELF, LEGAL.

"I have received orders from the
general officers of the company to
make measurements for placing the
Main street wires OF the Light, Heat
& Power company elsewhere. No mat
ter where these wires will be placed
they will be overhead" said Manager
Frank Lane of the local plant of the
light and power trust.
This was the first admission of any
officer of the company that the COM
pany would comply with the terms
of the Main street pole ordinance,
which requires that all overhead wires
except trolley wires shall be off Main
street by the first of next month.
However, Mr. Lane frankly stated
that the company will not comply with
that section of the ordinance which
requires the placing of all overhead
wires removed from Main street in
condutis. Mr.. Lane stated that the
city is not complying with this sec
tion of the ordinance and for that rea-
son it has no authority to compel the
competitor of the municipal light
plant to comply with it.
The local manager insists that his
company will never agree to place its
Main street wires underground as
long as the Main street wires of the
municipal plant are permitted to be
placed overhead on streets adjoining
Main. He laughs at the statement
made by the board of public works
that the city can not legislate against
itself and has right to dispose of its
Main street wires in any manner il
sees fit so long as the wires are re.
moved from poles on Main street. Mr.
Lane states that any court would rule
that discrimination was shown should
the city attempt to compel the Light
Heat and Power company to place its
wires underground while the city re-
served the right to place its wires ov.
erhead.

Chauffeur Who Wrecked the

At Large.

ROY GALE WHO MADE THE TRIP,

Although Wilbur Evans, the young
chauffeur who met with serious mis-
hap while driving an automobile be-
longing to Bert Gaines his former en-
ployer through New Hope at an early
hour yesterday morning escaped with
only minor injuries, his companion
Roy Gale was not so fortunate. Gale
was hurled about fifty feet through

trolley pole and his face and hands
suffered severely. His scalp was
punctured and both knees bruised

bruised, also. Gale has returned to
the city but no trace of Evans has
been found. 1t is believed the young
man was under the impression he
would be held for the damages to the
machine, so decided to leave the city.
Gale says the two took the machine
