tourists on their way from Chicago to
Muncie, rode blissfully into st. John
last Sunday evening. little knowing
that their machine and all their valu-
ables that they carried with them were
doomed to destruction. When they did
learn that their big automobile tour

to make their escape that they had to
sacrifice their elegant wraps. costly
millinery and whatever other valu-
ablts they carried with them, along
with the splendid car. In a few minutes
it was total wreck, representing a
loss of several thousand dollars.
The accident furnished a thrilling
scene but fortunately the two women
and the two men in the car escaped
without injury. To have tarried little

WANTS DUMPING
DREDGE STOPPED
War Department Will Cut
Through Red Tape; Will
Help Hammond.

Washington, D. c., June 22.-The war
department seems TO be in for another
summary bursting of red tape. And
against Secretary Dickinson, who is
shattering the tradition. This time he
is breaking through the routine to
consider the plea of the city of Chi
cago that the government stop dump
ing it's dredges near the water supply
intakes.
When Health Commissioner Evans
was here a month ago with this com
plant he got little satisfaction from
General W. L. Marshall. chief of en-
gineers. and none at all from Acting
Secretary Oliver. He was here again
two weeks ago. but Secretary Dickin-
son was then at West Point.
PASSES Over Suhordinates.

formal communication and left it with

FRANCHISE
READY FUR
COUNCIL

At last the Indiana & Chicago Trac-
ton companys franchise is ready for
the city council to act on it. 1t is
signed and was formally accepted by
the board at a session last evening.
There does not seem to be any OBJ
stacle in the way of passing it now.
with the exception of a minor change
here and there, which one or the 9TH
er councilmen may suggest. Should all
the councilmen favor it unanimously,
it might be placed upon its passage,
but this is doubtful at this time, in
viewing of the opposition which ia
cob Schroeder put up against it at the
time it was informally considered by
the council last Tuesday evening.
It was at first thought that a special
meeting would be called for this even
ing. but. if special meeting is called
at all. 1t may not be held until next
Friday The probabilities, however. are
that the matter will rest until the reg
ular meeting next Tuesday evening.
