One of the fastest games of basket

this season will be this evening when
the fast five representing the Rich

sentatives Of the Co~nnersville high
school. The Richmond basket ballers
have been practicing hard for this con-
test and they are in the pink Of con-
dition. Although the team will be
weakened somewhat by the absence of
Allison, it is expected that Alderman
will be able to fill his position at
guard to a remarkable degree. Hiatt
will be the other Quaker guard. Mar
latt will probably officiate at center
and Thornburg and Spangler will
serve as forwards. With this lineup
there should be something doing for

EFFECT LOCALLY.
Democratic Police Board May Be
Named.

At the present time the mayor OF
Richmond is a democrat. If the met
ropolitan law be repealed and the may
or chooses, he may reorganize the
board of police commissioners by plac-
ing two democrats on it instead OF one
as now. The present members Of the
board are Edgar Hiatt, republican,
president; Eddy Shera, republican. and
Harry Watt. democrat. The repeal OF
the law would make 1t possible to or
ganize a police force not controlled by
a non partisan rule.
Under the metropolitan rules, the
police force is equally divided be-
tween the democrats and republicans.
When the governor of the state is a
republican he appoints a police board
with two republican members. The
third is q democrat and the superin-
tendent chosen is a republican. Under
the rules of the local department
when the superintendent is q republi'
can, the first sergeant is q democrat
and the second sergeant q republican.
Beginning with the appointment of the
first member OF the force a democrat.
each succeeding appointment alter
mates as to party. The local depart
ment Is composed of twenty men and
there are ten republicans and ten
democrats.
If the repeal become effective and
Mayor Schillinger select a democratic
board, a democratic superintendent
will be named. That e a change
throughout the department. II the
next mayor be a republican it means
a republican board and superintend'
ent. That means two shifts in the
department.

However E. H. Gary Admits
That Bonuses" Will
Probably Be Reduced.
He SAYS UNIONS ARE WEAK
STEEL KING IS OF THE OPINION
THAT THE BASIC CONDITIONS
OF THE COUNTRY WILL SAVE
SITUATION.

New York, Feb. 26.-E. H. Gary,
chairman of the United States Steel
corporation, gave the first authentic
interview yesterday since his statement
last Friday evening, in which he an
nounced an open market on steel.
The basic, intrinsic ~condiaions In
this country" he said, never were bet
ter" and he expressed himself as be-
ing confident of relief for the steel
trade as a result of this condition.
He said that between the United
States Steel corporation and its COM
petitors there existed no agreement
whatever looking toward the mainte-
III of prices on n commodity or
indeed on any other subject. He de-
MED that there was an understanding
between railmakers to keep up the
prices on rails.
"Of course" he said, there are only
a few concerns making rails, but the
price of rails today is low and any one
them would, l think, make a
great mistake"
Wage Reduction Not Considered.
Wage reduction, he said, has not
been considered. II it ever should be
taken up he intimated the present wage
agreements, which are based on the
sliding scale principle. would be only
a negligible factor. These agreements
he said, had been signed with only q
small proportion of the workmen.
Neither would the unions enter
largely into the deliberations, as these,
organizations. MIR. Gary said, are not
strong among the employees of the
company. Mr.. Gary explained at
some length the bonus system as it ap-
plies to workmen. Every year he said
the company lays aside a certain
amount of the earnings for distribu-
ton by supervisory officers among the
most efficient of its employees, who are
regarded in proportion to their abil-
ity.'
Like a Carnegie medal suggested
some one, the bonus goes to the most

Comparisons are odious," said Mr.,
Gary. I'm not comparing it to any.
| thing"
Incomes Already indirectly Cut.
When the earnings are reduced, he
explained, the bonuses are reduced sc
that it may be inferred that the pres
emit condition Of the steel trade al.
ready had an indirect effect on the in.
comes of the workmen even if thei:
wages would not be touched directly
Mr.. Gary did not seem to apprehend
any trouble with the workmen il ths
company should decide to reduce wag
es.
In addition to the weakness Of the
unions the men are held to the com
pany not only by the bonus system
and old age pensions. but by their in
vestments in the company's securities
on which the increment is vastly great
er than that accruing to the general
investing public, an advantage that
would cease as soon as the holders left
the company's employ.

MAY RESULT IN DEATH
OF TOMLINSON BILL
Democrats in Senate Who
Like County Unit Law May
Support It in Revenge on
House Democrats.
Palladium Bureau,
indianapolis, Feb. rs.

The house, yesterday afternoon, vot-
ed to refuse d appoint a conference
committee to meet the senate commit
tee for consideration of the public ac-
counting bill. Already the senate
had voted to not concur in the amend
ments made by the house and had ap-
pointed its conference committee. The
republicans of the senate announced
also that they were perfectly willing
for their conference committee to
agree that the public accounting board
should consist of four members, ap-
pointed by the governor, two to be
from each party, thus making 1t a BIZ
partisan board in the fullest sense of
house refused to listen to any such ar
rangement. and they have now placed
the democratic party of the state IN
the attitude of refusing a bipartisan
board, and insisting on a partisan
poard consisting of two democrats and
one republican. This is the very thing
that the public does not want, so the
democrats are in a deep hole on the
thing.
Now Out Of Its Hands.
No further action can be taken by
the house. as the matter is now entire.
ly out of it's hands. The senate. there
fore, must do one of two things-come
to the terms of the house n let the
bill rest in its grave. There are
some republicans who favor the bill
even as the democrats wish it passed.
There are also some democrats in the
senate who hope to be able to kill the
Tomlinson bill. Now, the PROPOSE
ton is for these democrats to vote to
kill the Tomlinson bill IN return for
which some OF the republicans will
vote with them to resuscitate the pub
lie accounting bill and pass it as the
house sent it over. This kind Of q
deal is being worked on the quiet and
there Is a possibility that it may
amount to something before the Tom.
linson bill comes out for passage. Last
night several senators were in confer
ence on it.
Fleming Is Opposed.
But in this plan the schemers have
the deadly opposition of Senator Steve
Fleming. one Of the acknowledged
leaders of the county option repeal
fight. Fleming is moving heaven AMI
earth to repeal the county option law
and pass the Tomlinson bill. And he
does not care a rap for the public &C.
counting bill. He would as soon SCI
it buried as not. Fleming is q power
in the senate, and it is hard to tell
just what he will be able to accom-
plish against this plan of trading
off votes.
AS the matter now stands, there
seems to be about an equal chance fol-
the Tomlinson bill and the public &C.
counting bill. One or the other may
pass. but which one, is doubtful. II
is almost a certainty that both cannoi
get through.

The Sunday baseball triumphed
pver Its enemies. yesterday afternoon,
when the house %concurred in the
amendments which were made in the
bill.by the senate. This action by the
house puts the bill up to the governor
Tor his signature. But it Is the gen.
leral belief that Governor Marshall
will veto the bill. when he gets a
chance 1t 1t. He has not said 80. but
thsre are many who believe that he
will use the ak on the bill.
Many Of the lawyers of the house
md senate believe the bill is uncon-
istitutional because 1t Is class legisla-
ton. and because is proposes to le-
gals during certain hours an act
that is a crime under the law. This,
the lawyers say. is illegal. This. they
believe will be n Of the grounds on
which the governor will veto the bill.
Another ground, it was pointed out
yesterday, IL that under the wording
OF the bill 1t Is believed not only
baseball and football but any kind OF
a game may be played between one
and six o'clock On Sunday afternoons.
They say 1t will even permit poker,
chraps, faro. roulette or any of the
other games that are usually found
on the green table emporiums. The
part of the bill which, 1t Is claimed,
will allow the kind of gambling. reads
as follows:
The "oambling" Section.
ct shall be unlawful for any per-
son or persons to engage In playing
other game where any fee is charged,
or where any reward or prize or profit
or article of value Is depending on
the result of such game or the first
day of the week commonly called
Sunday, between the hours OF 5 a. m.
and l p. m. No statute of
this state shall be construed to pre-
vent such game or games on Sunday
between the hours Of ! o'clock and
6 o'clock In the afternoon
The lawyers point out that this will
permit the playing of any kind of a
game during those hours. and they
even 60 SO far as to say that since
the bill only prohibits such games
between the hours of s a. m. and l
p. m. on Sunday they may be played
at any other time during the week.
They point out that under this bill
gambling may be renewed at French
Lick and the est Of the resorts in
the state.

good 10 q question that only the
courts will be able to determine,
