TELEPHONE STORY OUT.
Agreement is Said to be Reached
Between Bell and the indie
pendents.

Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 30
Mystery surrounding the pouring
OF several million dollars by un-
known interests into Ohio and
Indiana for the purchase of indie
pendent telephone plants during
the last few weeks was cleared
at a meeting of a committee
which has been working on a plan
for the consolidation of plants
not already sold, and James S.
Bradley, jr. of Toledo, who some
weeks ago bought the Toledo,
Cuyahoga and indianapolis local
companies and the New Long
Distance Company of Indiana
and the United States Independ-
ent company of Ohio.
1t became known from inside
sources that the plan is to divide
the telephone business in this sec
ton of the country SO that the
independents will take over the
city or local business and the Bell
people will assume the long dis
tance business. Bradley refused
to confirm the reported agree
ment, but It is known to be al
ready effected. The Bell property
will be taken over on an apprais-
ed valuation and the Bell on a
similar basis will take over indie
pendent long distance lines.

Recorders Want More Paw.

The Indiana County Record
ers' association which met in In
dianapolis is all wrought up over
the failure of the last legislature
to provide an increase in their
compensation and the members
of the association believes they
are being Disseminated against.
The association will endeavor to
get a bill before the next session
to provide more salary for re-
corders and to have the increase
based on the amount OF work per-
formed rather than on the basis
of the population of the counties.

THE RED CROSS
XMAS POSTCARD
AMERICAN RED CROSS So
Getty IN NEW VEN
TURE.
Xmas Postcard Was Designed by
Indiana Man Giving it Es-
pecial Interest in Ind.

The continued popularity OF its
Christmas stamp has prompted
the American Red Gross to place
new Christmas post card on the
market. The quality, however Is
going to be limited until def
mite idea can DE obtained as to
the demand for it. The supply
that has been allotted to the Red
Cross Christmas stamp bureau at
indianapolis, which is distribut-
ing the stamps over Indiana is
$500 and this quantity is divid-
ed into small lots which are be-
ing sent to the stamp selling
agencies in the larger cities of
the state.
The Red Cross Christmas card
is OF especial interest TO Indiana
people, since it was designated
by William Won Zell an engraver
OF Indianapolis. He entered the
design in the Red Cross contest
of Christmas stamp designs in
which 200 artists over the coun-
try participated. The Won Zell
idea did not win first prize in the
stamp contest, but it received
honorable mention. | was, how
ever, chosen as the best idea for
the post cards and the Red Cross
will sell them throughout the
United States. The proceeds from
these sales, like the money from
the Christmas stamps will be
used in the warfare against the
white plague.
The post card is very sugges-
tive OF the holiday season. 1t
shows year 1909 receeding below
the horizon, with the new yea.
1910 casting forth its silvery
rays as it rises, like the morning
sun, into full view. Santa Claus.

martial unhappineSs that leads to

quently than the husband.
Desertion Commonest Ground.
The most common single
ground for divorce is desertiOn.
This accounted for nearly 80 pei
cent OF all the divorces granted
in the twenty years. 1t is rather
remarkable that almost one-half
of all those granted to husbands
were for desertion, while in the
cases of the wives only one-third.
The next most important
ground for divorce is, for hus-
bands, adulterey, and for wives,
cruelty. OF the divorces granted
to husbands, 20 per cent, were for
adulterey OF the wife and of those
granted to wives q per cent for
creulty on the part OF the hus-
band. Only. 10 per cent OF the di-
vorces granted to wives were for
adulterey of the husband, and 10
per cent of the divorces granted
to husbands were for creulty on
the part of the wife.
Three-fourths of all the di-
vorces granted in the United
States are for one or the other OF
the three great causes-desertion
creulty and adulterey and their
frequency is in the order named.
OF all the cases in twenty years
the percentage was Desertion,
$50; creulty, 21.S; adulterey, 49,
3. All other grounds for action,
such as drunkenness, neglecr to
provide and many other legal
charges figure only in small frac-
tons.
Adultery is the ground on
which the number of divorces
granted to the husbands exceeds
the number granted to the wife,
This difference may be attributed
to the probability that the offense
when. committed by the wife is
less likely to be condoned and
perhaps more likely to DE discov-
cred. Public sentiment doubtless
condemns the offense in the wife
more strongly than in the nus
band and possibly the courts ar,
in some degree influenced there
by.
The enormous increase in di-
vorce in recent years is almost
wholly in the less serious charges
of desertion and creulty.

DIVIDED ON DIVISION.
Standing on Federal Court Re-
districting Said to be 6 to z,
Majority Being Negative.

A big fight is brewing over
the reorganization of the feder-
al court system in Indiana. The
campaign for a redistricting of
the state for federal judicial pur-
poses will begin almost as soon
as congress reconvenes next
month. Representative Crum-
packer who is now the oldest
member of the Indiana delega-
ton in point of service, will take
the initiative in trying to impress
upon congress the idea that the
interests of litigants in Indiana
demand that the state be divided
into five divisions, with seat of
justioce, so-called in each di-
vision.
Mr.. Crumpacker's bill pro-
poses that the state be restricted
with the first division consisting
of the counties of Allen, Dekalb,
Stuben, Lagrange, Noble, Elk
hart, Kosciusko, Wabash, Mi
ami, Huntington, Whitley, Wells
Adams. 'Blackford and Jay and
four other districts. While mem,
bers of the new Indiana delega-
ton have not expressed their
views on the Crumpacloer bill,
except in a few instances, it is
expected that the delegation will
line up as follws: For the bill
Crumpacker, Boehne, Cullop,
Cox, Barnard and Cline. Against
the bill-Dixon, Moss, Korbly,
Adair, Morrison, Rouch and
Barnhart.

DRYS LOSE
in ALABAMA
AMENDMENT is DEFEAT
ED IN SOUTHERN STATE
BY 10000.
Proposition to Forbid Manufac-
ture and Sale of Liquor is
Overwhelmingly Beaten.

Birmingham, Ala, Nov. 20
All Indications point to a major
ity of between $4,000 and 10000
in Alabama, against the prohfbi
ton constitutional amendment
today. Chairman ]. Lee Long,
who has been in charge OF the
fight against the amendment,
claims that the majority against
the amendment will be fully 90
600.
The early returns indicated a
landslide against the amendment
and succeeding bulletins fully
bore out the early indications.
Jefferson county in which is
Birmingham, the largest city in
the state, in spite OF the fact that
the fight has been concentrated
here, gave a majority of over one
thousand against the amendment.
Mobile, Montgomery and Gull
man counties show the largest
malorities on the victorious side
and it appears the amendment
carried but three counties, Tall
adega, Macon and Sumter with
Lee in doubt.
Today's election cannot be re-
garded as straight anti-prohib-
ition victory because of the per-
sonal vote that has been inject
ed into the issue.
A significant feature of the re-
suit is the fact that sentiment
against the amendment is SO
widespread. Rural precincts,
small towns and cities alike, for
the most part returned substan-
tial majorities on the winning
side.
There has never been seen hers
anything like the good feeling
shown in Birmingham tonight
over the result. Thousands OF
people from Jefferson and adjoin-
ing counties were here to see the
returns flashed and the down
town streets were one ibillow OF
enthusiasm.
A fact of special interest in
tOday's election in a constitution
al amendment making pronibi-
ton prol,ibitive throughout Al
ALBANIA was that it was the first
that an expression of the state
that an expression of the whole
electorate had been secured on a
prohibition question. The state
wide prohibition bill was passed
by legislature which had been
elected on local option platform
and while several counties had
declared for prohibition under the
local option act, the voters of the
entire state had never before been
called upon TO pass on this ques-
ton direct.
The polling places in the coun-
try precincts closed at ) O'Clock
and in the cities at 6 o'clock and
the count was very rapid because
there was but one proposition
submitted.
In Birmingham the election
was the most exciting ever wit
messed. Hundreds of people were
crowded around each polling
place, women and children were
singing and brass bands stationed
by the anti-amendment forces
were playing patriotic airs.

INDICTMENTS ARE RU-
MORED AGAINST SUGAR
OFFICIALS.
Stimson Confers With New York
District Attorney Regarding
Program for Prosecutions.

New York, Nov. 29.-Special
Government Prosecutor Henry
l.. StimSon; his assistant Wiltred
Denison and District attorney
Wise were in conference today
regarding the program OF the
government in connection with
the sugar prosecutions. The fed
eral grand jury, now in session,
has voted certain indictments.
Rumor has it t hat these are di-
rected against officials OF the
American Sugar Refining Com
pany, and that they include at
least two men who have been
prominent for many years in the
world OF finances.
Under ordinary procedure
these indictments would be pre-
scented to the court next week,
the men named arrested and COM
PEELED to plead. The government
officials are reported to have con-
ferred today on this point, and Ii
has been decided that the indict-
ments must be held up for time
1t Is expected they will be re-
ported to the court on Monday
or Tuesday and place., under
seal.
The reason for this is that the
government expects to bring out
at the trial of the former weigh
ers, dock superintendent and SUI
perintendent of the trusts REIN
cry in Williamsburg which be
gins on Monday, certain evidence
that will warran the further in
dictment OF the men against
whom the sitting grand jury has
already voted true bills.
The news from Washington
that Senators Boralf and Culbtr-
son plan to force a senate inves-
tigation of the sugar trust is not
very pleasing to the officers con
cerned with the criminal prose
cution of the law-breakers in thS
trust. They aver that the trust is
behind the plan for congress
sional investigation, in order tc
secure for the men guilty OF de
frauding the government an i'm
munity both which will proven;
convictions. Because OF this it Is
asserted Prosecutor Stimson and
his assistants will demand that
congress wait for its investiga-
ton until they have finished then
