PEACE A

Cody had a glorious celebration July
of the day IA delivered An address
full Of good things. He traced briefly
the history Of nation, showing how
step by step our fathers wrested the
land from the aborigine and the des-
pots Of the mother country.
The winning Of our independence as
a nation was possible only through the
stern discipline that had been the lot
OF the colonial forefathers. The main.
tenance of that independence, the elab-
grafton of constitutional liberty, the
development of domestic Industries,
the exploitation of these enormous
natural resourceso Of the country-ali
were results Of the persistent pursu
ance of the arts OF peace.
yet that peace could be won only
by war; the %conquering OF the CONT
nent could be achieved only by war;
our national expansion could result
only from the victory Of arms.
I'VE celebrate today an anniversary
of wal amid the benign blessings Of
peace; but only through war was that
peace attained; through countless
wars was the territory of the thirteen
original states expanded from the At
lantic to the Pacific, from the Cana,
dian border to the present limit Of
Mexico. And it is only through the
ability of national defense, and, If need
be, in assertion of rights of commerce
or OF citizenship, or of national agrees.

A NARROW ESCAPE
Four Young Women While
Driving in the Glen Meet
With Accident.
MISS HOOD is INJURED

Four young women went "a'driving"
last evening in Glen Miller park
While descending the steep hill in the
east end of the park all became excit-
ed because the horse had difficulty in
holding back the carriage to prevent a
collision with another rig. Then the
girl sitting next to the one handling
the reins, perpetrated typically fem
mime photographed one rein and pull
ed the horse over the steep embank-
ment.
One of the young women, Miss Low
ena Hood, jumped from the rig as it
slipped over the side of the embank-
ment, and when the others escaped, she
was found moaning in agony. Her
companions at once went to her assist
ance and learned that she had been
painfully i iured. When Horace
Kramer came along in his machine, he
carried Miss Hood up the embankment,
placed her in his Car and took her to
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Ora Martin
on North Seventh street, where she
boards. The attending physician
states that Miss Hood has suffered a
severely sprained ankle.
None of Miss Hoods companions
were injured beyond a few scratches.
1t is also a remarkable fact that the
horse was uninjured and that no dam
age was done to the surrey. The only
thing broken was the check rein.
Miss Hoods home is in Greenville,
Ohio For some months past she has
been a student at the Richmond Bust
ness college. All her companions last
evening are also students at the bus
mess college.

FURTHER EVIDENCE
AGAINST ICE TRUST
Plenty of Condemning Evil
dence in Case of Pros
ecution.
BUSINESS MANS EVIDENCE
SAYS THAT WIFE PURCHASED
SEVENTY-FlVE POUNDS OF ICE
BUT WHEN WEIGHED AMOUNT
ED TO ONLY FIFTY POUNDS.

Since the agitation inaugurated by
the local press against the Johnson
and Rettig ice trust, complaints from
consumers have been coming into the
newspaper offices thick and fast. If
the authorities so desired it is appar-
ent that there would be no difficulty
experienced in securing evidence
against the trust.
Today a well known business man
stated that recently he purchased
scales. Yesterday his wife ordered
seventy-five pounds of ice from the
ice deliveryman. When the ice was
brought into the house it was weighed
on the scales purchased + the bust
ness man and was found to weigh only
fifty pounds. This fact was made
known to the iceman and he refunded
tickets for twenty-five pounds.
Superintendent Gordon, of the local
division of the Terre Haute, Indianap-
oils & Eastern traction company,
states that the company pays thirty
cents per hundred pounds to the local
ice trust for ice used in the water cool
ers of the interurban cars. He states
that at indianapolis the company pays
fifteen cents per pound for ice used on
the interurban cars.
Another business man states that
last Sunday he found that all the ice
he had in his ice chest had melted He
telephoned to the ice company for the
delivery of a fresh supply. He was
told that ice was delivered only to no.
tells and boarding houses on Sunday,
and was then informed that he
ought to get larger ice box and buy
enough ice on Saturday to last over
Sunday"
Thoroughly exasperated the consum-
err retorted that if he had gotten all the
ice Saturday that he had paid for. he
probably would have had enough to
last him over Sunday.

Indianapolis, June 24.-vice-Presi-
dent Fairbanks has taken to the pros
pect of private citizenship without
murmur and has announced that he
will establish law officers in Indiana
polls and resume the practice OF his
profession. 1t is a long. long time
since Fairbanks has actively practic-
ed law. He is remembered as the at
torney for the old c.. II. & ID. road,
with offices at Indianapolis. and IL is
while thus engaged that the political
bee got on his trail. He was a willing
victim, and after running the gamut
from ward politics to the vioe-presi-
dency of the United States. he Is to re-
turn to his neighbors and become
plain resident of Indiana's capital Coy.
The strain has worn away and he
seems to be pleased at the thought of
breaking off his busy political respon-
sibilities. 1t has been reported that
the vice-president is to take Governor
Hanly as law partner. but there
seems to be no truth In this.

RAIL ROAD
GROWS ECONOMICAL
Instructs Engineers to Be
Saving in Use of Coal
Hereafter.
SMOKE MEANS WASTE
STATED IN ORDER, THAT A GOOD
ENGINEER CAN PULL HIS
TRAIN WITH LESS COAL THAN
is USUALLY USED.

A general order has been posted on
the Richmond division Of the Panhan-
die ordering economy in the use of
fuel on engines. Each man at the
throttle has been given to understand
that economy along this line is one
Of the ends the Pennsylvania system
is now working to attain.
The general order informs the
Richmond division engineers that a
good man can handle his engine with
less fuel than has been used hitherto
and that at the same time just as sat
isfactory results in the way of speed
can be obtained. If the company sue
ceeds in reducing the annual con-
sumption OF fuel five or ten per cent,
an immense amount of money will
have been saved. Between the lines
of the general order the engineers
can plainly read that anyone who fails
to practice economy in fuel can look
for employment elsewhere.
Smoke means waste and waste at
all times must be avoided"
The company already realizes that
it was effort well spent in putting out
a general order to this effect, y 1t is the
intention of the division officials to
reduce smoke, not only in places
where smoke itself is Objectionable,
but all over the division in order to
get the more lasting benefits from the
coal supply.
In the general order posted on the
Richmond division the company has
gone into the very elements of locomo-
tive firing in an effort to impress up
on the men the Importance of attention
to the most minute details. Coal no
larger than three inches thick may be
used: tenders must not be overloaded
so that coal is dropped along the
tracks; CRATES and ash pans must be
watched closely in order to decrease
the number of repairs on engines.
