Judge Macy of Randolph Cir
cult Court Rules Against Hill
Who Seeks to Keep T. H.,
|. & E. Out of Glen.
TRACTION COMPANY TO
START LAYING TRACKS.
Hardly Probable Appeal to Su-
preme Court Will Be Taken,
Owing to Great Expense of
Action.

Judge Macy of the Randolph circuit
court this morning ruled in favor of
the defendant in the case of George w.
Hill against the Terre Haute, Indian
apolis & Eastern Traction company,
to enjoin the company from placing a
line through Glen Miller park. Mr..
Hill averred in his complaint that the
placing of such line injured his
property, which is located on Main
street, opposite the place where the
line enters the park. AS a result of
this ruling, the company is now at lib
erty to begin work of placing its
tracks through the park, and, accord
ing to John F. Robbins, attorney for
the company. this action will be
promptly taken by the company not
withstanding the fact that the plain
tiff may appeal Judge Macy's opinion
to the supreme court. Mr.. Robbins
states that he thinks that Judge Ma
cy's ruling is a correct Interpretation
of the law and that the supreme court
would sustain his ruling should the
case ever be appealed to that court.
A few weeks ago Judge Macy made
a preliminary ruling on the case and
handed down the opinion that tax
payer had authority to bring such ac-
ton. This morning, after the case
had been tried before him for two
days, Judge Hacy ruled in favor of the
traction company on the ground the
placing of traction line through
Glen Miller park would not damage
the plaintiff and that the plaintiff had
lacked diligence in bringing action to
restrain the company from building
it's line, Judge Macy pointed out
that Mr.. Hill had not filed suit against
the company until he, had seen it
spend considerable money in making
the grading for the line. For this
| reason, Judge Macy stated, Mr.. Hill,
| if he had any standing at all in court
as taxpayer, had forfeited it by his
delay in filing action against the trac-
ton company.
Judge Macy's ruling will probably
mean the end of the lengthy squabble
| with the traction company over the
construction of its north end freight
| line. The company has about com
pleted the construction of this line ex,
cept the Glen Miller section. work on
which was stopped pending the decis-
ion of Judge Macy.
The suit to enjoin the company
from constructing it's freight line was
| the result of a mass meeting of citi.
zens who protested against the park
being used for such purposes. Mr.
Hill consented to be named as plain
| tiff to the suit and the fund to meet
the necessary expenses was raised by
subscription. To carry the case tt
the supreme court it would be neces
sary to raise an even larger sum ant
it is doubtful if this money could bt
raised easily.

been particularly aggressive. They
had committed many petty depreda

upon as a matter of nece ssity. In
some way Keller became detached

death is regarded as probable.

They say they can not divine the

have the tendency to disrupt the fore

not see their way clear to accept his
invitation. They also say they do not
understand why Samuel Gompers was
left out of the invitation list.

Col Perry not only has brilliant war
record but he is fitted in every way for
the position he occupies. 1t is COM
mentary on his qualifications that in
addition to the successful performance
OF his actual duties he should have
recognized the need OF the work OF
keeping the war records Of Indiana
His Indiana in the Mexican War" has
more than local interest. 1t is valu-
able to the future historian OF that
period of our history. 1t may not be
generally known, but the Mexican war
Is the one thing of which there is the
least knowledge in all our national
life.
But beside this, the most important
result is the clearing of the good
names of those valiant Hoosier boys
who fought ten to one against the
Mexicans, although handicapped with
an incompetent and cowardly officer
who subsequently became little short
of traitor to the flag.

Democrats Bitter Over
Governor HQnly'S Act

Fred A. Sims by plurality of 1872. de-
clared last night that he has been ell
ected and that he can produce the evil
dence to prove it. He would not state,
however, what course will be pursued
by the democrats.
The defeated candidates on the
democratic ticket have appointed a
committee to look after their inter
ests. William Fogarty. chair of the
democratic organization here; Char
les Korbly. congressman-elect from
this district; Edward Raub and other
democratic workers, are now visiting
the larger counties for the purpose OF
going over the returns to see whether
or not errors have been made against
the democratic ticket.
Governor Hanly. after issuing the
commissions, stated that the demo
Gratis can go to the courts for relief,
and that there is nothing further for
the governor or the secretary of state
to do in the matter of tabulating and
canvassing the official returns.

Already U. s. Steel. American Car
Foundry, Pressed Steel Car, and many
other stocks show strong advance
over the October panic of last year,
indicating a healthy condition through
out the industrial world, which is ut
terly different from the fitful and I'M

caused by pure manipulation. J.-Pier-
pont Morgan (whose utterance is al
ways conservative and safe barome-
ter OF trade), has assured the country
that dividend on Steel (common) is

NEW YORK SENATORS.

Who will New York elect to the sen.
atorship?
New York has done we'll in the last
election, with Hughes in the COVER
nor's chair and Roosevelt still in the
white house with Taft to follow
who had the support Of the Empire
state, it looks we'll for that states po
litical awakening.
Hughes put the bosslets to confus
ion-but to what extent? Do they
still hang on to the senatorship? II
is to be hoped that the moral awak
ening extends that far. 1t is to be
hoped that the state which has sent
to the senate Dewitt Clinton, William
H. Seward, Roscoe Conkling-men
who stood above their fellows-will
forget the party bosses and leave
such men as Thomas Collier Plat al
home
1t is encouraging in looking over
the names of Elihu Root, Joseph
Choate and Theodore Roosevelt men
toned as material for the senate from
that state.
With any of these men as the
choice New York would stand we'll in
deed-and what a contrast to the
past! There is hope that the bosses
have lost their grip in that neck Of
the woods.

Indianapolis, Nov. 13.-Some Of the
democratic leaders are bitter over the
action of Governor Hanly in giving
commissions to the republican state
officers recently elected. They assert
that in fairness to them he should
have waited until they have an oppor-
tunity to go over the returns in sew
eral counties where it is said that err
rors were made in favor of the re-
publican ticket.
The fact that the republicans hold
commissions for all of the offices ex-
cept governor, lieutenant governor
and state superintendent of public in
struction, places the advantage in the
hands of the republican organization.
The only hope the defeated democra-
tic candidates have is that the courts
or the legislature may decide against
the republicans.
Cox Still Hopeful.
