THE POPULAR CRY
Henry County Citizens Determ-
ined on Investigation of
County Records.
BAD RUMORS ARE HEARD.
FOR MANY YEARS COUNTY OFF,
GALS HAVE BEEN STANDING
BENEATH STORM cLOUD-ONE
MAN ESCAPES 1T ALL.

New Castle, Ind, July 1.-THE cry,
open the books" which has been
heard in this county with persistent
frequency for the past ten years
seems to have been heard at last by
the county commissioners, and pros
poets are good for the work to be
commenced before winter. From the
court house and specifically the COM
missionerS' headquarters, comes the
information that this action has been
will be pleased with the information.
The county council will be asked, at
its regular meeting in September, to
make the necessary appropriations for
the work.
For the past two years the county
commissioners have been condemned,
especially Ivy the opposition party, for
not submitting to the wishes of the
people in this respect, and it has been
openly charged that politics cut fig
ure in their lukewarmness. After two
grand juries had recommended such
action and countless people, Republi-
cans, Democrats and others alike, had
advocated such action, the county au-
thorities declined to take any heed of
the recommendation until public
opinion had become so pressing that
they were almost compelled to act.
Ten years ago these charges be-
came so loud that an ex-county Off
cial, whose tenure of office had been
=
disposed of all his holdings and re,
moved TO California, and has since re.
sided there. Irregularities have come
to light, but no prosecutions ever re,
suited, shortages being settled pri
vately by the accused officers and the
bondsmen.

TRACTION COMPANY
WANTS AMENDMENT
Will Ask Council to Pass Or.
dinance Granting 1t Use
Of 22nd Street.
NEED is POINTED OUT.
SHOWN THAT UNLESS THIS PRO-
CEDuRE is TAKEN, 1T WILL BE
MORE THAN A YEAR BEFORE
LINE CAN BE COMPLETED.

1t is the general impre ssion that at
Haute. indianapolis & Eastern trac-
ton company will ask that the fran
chise recently granted the company be
amended so that the company can
have the right to place its eastern ex-
tension of the north end freight line
on North Twenty-second street with
out waiting the determination of the
supreme court as to whether the CON-
pany has the right 10 place this line
on North Twenty-third street, which
runs through Glen Miller park.
Unless council takes this action il is
quite probable that it will be over a
year before the company would be
able to complete its north end line,
for in the event that Judge Fox's rul-
ing on the North Twenty-third street
matter was appealed to the supreme
court ii would take that court at
least a year to hand down an opinion
on the case.
In the franchise recently granted,
the t. Fl. l. & f. there is a provision
which reads that the company shall
place its line on North Twenty-second
street only in the event that the COM
pany is restrained from placing its
line on North Twenty-third street.
Judge Fox did not restrain the COM
pany from the use of this street so.
under the terms of the franchise. the
company has no right TO place its line
on North Twenty-second street, which
1t desires to do instead of waiting the
action of the supreme court on the
probable appeal.
True. the company Under the Lontz
and Freeman franchise has the right
to occupy North Twenty-second street.
would not have the right TO operate
| freight cars on that section of Main
street between the east corporation
line and North Twenty-second street.
as this right is not conferred on the
| company by the Lontz and Freeman
franchise or by the franchise recently
granted the company. except in the
event North Twenty-second street is
| made available for the company
through it being restrained from the
use of North Twenty-third street. In
that event the company has a right
to operate freight cars on Main street
on that section between North Twen-
| ty-second street and the east corpor-
alton line.
At its meeting next Monday night
council will pass an ordinance sus-
pending the enforcement OF the Main
street freight ordinance for a period
of ninety days. IL council desires to
have interurban freight service con-
tinued in this city after that time. IL
will be necessary TO amend the T. III.
|. & f. as referred TO above as the
North Twenty-third street matter will
not be settled within that period.

PETITIONERS ARE
FAVORED BY COURT
Judge Fox Rules in the WASH
ington Township Road
Case.
LITIGATION NOT ENDED.
PROBABLE THAT COURTS DE-
cisIoN WILL BE APPEALED TO
THE SUPREME COURTROOM
MIssIoNERs TO ACT.
LITIGATION NOT ENDED.

In the long drawn out contest over
the road in Washington township, pc
titioned for some months ago, Judge
Fox this morning made ruling in
the case favoring the petitioners for
the road. 1t is proable, however, that
his decision will be appealed to the su-
preme court by the remonstrator, The
odore Christ. and others, so the end of
the Washington township road con-
troversy is not yet in sight.
Under the ruling of Judge Fox, the
case now reverts back to the commits
sioners' court and that court will con-
slider it next Saturday, but it is prob
able no action will be taken in the
event that Attorney Feemster, repre-
senting the demonstrators, gives no.
tice in the interim of an appeal of
Judge Foxs decision to the supreme
court.
In making his ruling this morning,
Judge Fox pointed out that the issue
that had been raised in his court had
not been raised in the commissioners
court, so we had no authority to pass
on the case. He stated he made this
ruling in accordance with a recent de-
cision of the supreme court.
The issue referred to by Judge Fox
| was the action of Grist and the other
| demonstrators, neglecting to file their
objections to the proposed road at the
proper time. The petition of Fred
L. Davis and others for the construc
tion of the road in question was filed
last November, and step by step il
progressed according to the statute
until the day for the reception of the
bids. The bids were opened. but nc
decision had been rendered by the com
missioners as to the bids for at thil
ktime the demonstrators through theil
attorney, Mr.. Feemster, Of Cambridge
City, appealed to the circuit court

that time. and Judge Fox's ruling to
day indicates that demonstrators coult
get no anchoring through their appea
to the circuit court.
Thus the whole proceeding il

ty commissioners. The petitioner

ONE BADLY HURT
IN AUTO ACCIDENT
Charles Gaar's Machine Made
Wild Backward Dash
Down Long Hill.
MRS. GAAR INJURED MOST.
SHE WAS PINNED BETWEEN THE
MACHINE AND A TREE INTO
WHICH IT HAD RUN ESCAPE
OF OTHERS REMARKABLE.
MRS. GAAR INJURED MOST.

Mrs. Charles Gaar, 116 North Six
teenth street, was badly injured yes
terday afternoon in an automobile ac-
cident on the Straight Line Pike, two
miles south of the city. Today it
was stated that while she suffered
great pain from the effects of her in
juries, her condition was not regarded
as serious.
Mr. and Mrs. Gaar, Mrs. George r.
Martin and young Fielding Gaar, went
out in the Gaar machine yesterday af
ternoon for little run. While climb
ing a steep hill on the Straight Line
pike Mr.. Gaar stopped his engine for
some purpose and applied the brakes,
but they failed to work and immedi-
ately the car started backwards. So
rapidly did the car plunge down the
hill that the driver was unable to con-
troll it.
Mrs. Gaar became frightened and
climbed out onto the running board
prepared to jump. Before she did so,
however, the car struck a tree at the
side of the road and then swerved into
a ditch. The violent contact with the
tree, threw Mrs. Gaar under the ma
chine, one wheel pinning her firmly to
the tree. Fielding Gaar, by the shock
of the sudden stop, was pitched out of
the car into a clump of bushes. When
were unconscious. Young Gaar,
however. revived quickly. He suffer
ed no injuries.
Mr.. Gaar found that it would be i'm
possible to remove his wife from her
precarious position without assistance
as the machine had TO be lifted He
went for help and found four men
swimming in the river. They accom-.
panied him to the scene of the acci
dent where three more men were
| found. After considerable work the
machine was lifted and Mrs. Gaar
was removed in an unconscious con
dition. She sustained a. severe cash
on the head while one side was badly
bruised and lacerated.
AS soon as possible the injured
woman was removed in an ambulance
to her home where she is now confin
ed to her bed. Mrs. George Martin
suffered a nervous shock but other
wise she shows no effects of the acci
dent as neither she nor Mr.. Gaar were
thrown from the car.
The runaway car, notwithstanding
it's violent collision with the trees
was practically uninjured and viii
again be ready for use after a few
minor repairs have been made. Mr.
Gaar feels that if the car had not col
lided with the tree all the occupant:
of 1T would have been seriously in
jured or killed. as nothing would have
prevented it from continuing it's wilc
dash down to the bottom of the Ions
hill.

CITY BENEFITED
BY INSPECTION
Dair1es Are Giving Their Pa
irons Better Service
Than Before.
OWENS WILL RETURN SOON
STATE INSPECTOR WILL VISIT
ALL THOSE DIARIES WHICH HE
FIRST VISITED AND MAKE NEW
GRADINGS.

About the last of next week or the
first of the week following, Robert
Owens, state inspector of drugs and
foods, Is expected to return to Rich
mond and complete his work of in
specting all dairies, which supply milk
to the residents Of Richmond About
the first work he will do will be to
inspect all dairies he recently ordered
improved in various ways. New
gradings will be given and those dai-
ries, which rank good or excellent,
will be given merit cards, to be placed
in their milk delivery wagons. All
wagons which do not have these cards
displayed will be known to the public
as ones which distribute milk up to
the required standard.
Those dairies where conditions are
such as to prevent them being graded
less than good, but the proprietors of
which are making a determined effort
to improve conditions along the lines
laid out by Mr.. Owens, will be permit
ted to continue the sale of milk i'll this
city, pending the comletion of i'm
provements.
City Milk Inspector, DR.. Lee Hoover,
stated today that he had visited nearly
all the dairies which Mr. Owens re-
Gently inspected and he found that the
proprietors of those who fell under the
ban of the state inspector were doing
everything possible to make required
improvements. He stated that he
was sure Mr.. Owens would be greatly
pleased when he made his second in
spection.
At the present time. thanks to the
activity of Inspector Owens, there is
a better quality of milk being sold in
Richmond, than there has been fol
years. Il notice that many of the
dairymen have equipped their delivery
wagons with large ice cases in which
they keep their milk. This make:
it possible to deliver all milk to ths
homes in a cool, fresh condition. Those
fdairymen who are now doing this have
greatly pleased their patrons stated
Dr. Hoover.
Many of the dairymen are handicap
ped in making improvements at the
| present time, because il is the heart o.
| the summer harvest season, but new
| ertheless they are obeying the instruc
tions of the state inspector as theI
are aware of the fact that the stat'
will not accept harvest activities as al
excuse for continuing to sell impur,
milk.

affairs outside of his own state and
even there his experience has been
confined to a term or two in the leg
islature and some years in executive
offices. Whether he possesses the ca
pacity for executive work or not, no
one knows positively. He may be ia
miliar with the problems which con-
front a national government, but if so
it must be as student and not as one
who can speak with authority from
personal experience.
Sherman, on the other hand, has
had much wider training, and if call
ed upon to fulfill the duties of the pres
idency would meet them with a per-
sonal familiarity. He has had long
and varied experience in the house of
representatives, has frequently acted
as presiding officer, and as chairman
of the congressional committee, has
acquired a minute knowledge of the
conditions in every congressional dis
trict of the United States. On the
whole, Sherman is probably much the
better campaigner, but Kern. on ac-
count of his whiskers, would appeal to
the bucolic mind more than Sunny
Jim" of Utica.
Gray Might Have Won East.
Had Gray been nominated, New
York and New Jersey would have
been debatable states
AS it is it can scarcely be expected
that MIR. Bryan is any stronger in New
York today than he was eight years
ago.
Had the Bryan managers wished to
strengthen their ticket in such way
as to have made it a terror to the re-
publicans, failing the nomination of
Judge Gray, they would have selected
some man like Melville E. ingalls, of
Cincinnati, or David r. Francis of st.
Louis, the latter being much the
stronger man of the two politically.

SCHOOL PATRONS WANT
APPRAISERS APPOINTED
Desire Moorman Property for
No. g School.

Today people living in the east sec
ton of Wayne township petitioned to
have appraisers appointed 10 inspect
the property on the Henley road, own
ed by Mrs. Moorman, which is to be
the site of the new No. 3 school build
ing. For some time Mrs. Moorman OBJ
jected TO selling this property. She
offered to donate a site at the corner
of the National and Henley roads but
this offer was declined because of the
danger of interurban and city cars
and because considerable money
would have had TO be expended filling
the property. II Is understood Mrs.
Moorman will receive about $1,000 for
the site selected for the new school.
