Dairyman RatIiff Refused tc
Allow Stewart to Inspect
His Cattle.
HE GIVES AN EXPLANATION
HE APPEARED AT CITY BUILDING
THIS MORNING AND SAID HE
DID NOT KNOW STEWART HAD
ANY AUTHORITY.

Dairy Inspector Mark Stewart struck
a snag yesterday when he attempted to
inspect the cattle and dairy of Cornell
us Ratliff, the dairyman. residing
north of the city. Mr.. Ratliff refused
to allow the inspector to inspect his
premises, claiming that he did not
know him and for that reason was not
sure that he was properly authorized to
make the examination. Stewart noti-
fled Ratliff to appear at the city build
ing this morning and explain his case
or suffer the consequence of having his
license revoked.
Ratliff appeared this morning and
stated that he was perfectly willing to
have his dairy and cows inspected, but
that he did not know Stewart was the
inspector. The hearing was contin-
ued until Monday. but it is thought
that in the meantime a satisfactory
agreement can be reached. 1t is said
that probably another dairy inspector
from Indianapolis will be permitted to
help Stewart conduct the examination,
as it is understood that such is Rat
lifts desire.

Managua, Dec. 23.-Jose Santos

ported to be ready to cast aside the
mask of retirement and to assume
command of the remnants Of the gov

General Estrada's victory over the
Zelayans, and the rebel chiefs def

Zelaya is said to have become desper-
ate, and to have determined on a last
struggle before fleeing the country.
The city is in ferment. The SEN

appears to be growing. but no one
except his active partisans pretends
that he is the real choice Of the peo-
pie of the Nation.
Crowds today gathered before the
American consulate, shrieking threats
against Consul Harry Caldera and
Mrs. Caldera. and shouting insults at
them. Although the consulate is bar
ricaded. today the situation OF Mr..
Caldera was critical and he was un-
able to offer protection to the other
Americans that appealed to him.
They were all referred to Admiral

PLANS OF WASHINGTON.

Washington, Dec. 23.-The state de-

belligerency Of the Nicaraguan insur.
gents, it was semi-officially reported
today. Such a step would clear the
situation and would pave the way for
the seizure Of the government by Gen.
Estrada. 1t would allow him to take
over the government untrammeled by
foreign influence. for even the limit
ed support of the United States would
offset the aid Mexico is credited with
giving to President AAdriz.

INDIGNATION Was Expressed
Local Tobacco Chewers Resent Proposed Law Prohibiting
Lodnng of Chewing Tobacco Plugs.

The ominous word has been received

Commissioners, as Anticipated
In Palladium, Reminded To-
day They GOULD Postpone
Action in Option Case.
ATTORNEY FOR VETS
MAKES THE SUGGESTION
Petition for Special Option
Election Presented This
Morning by Attorney WiIfred
Jessup-No Action.

Just as anticipated by The Palla-
dunn in its issue of yesterday. it was
suggested to the county commissioners
this morning that they may if they see
fit, adjourn their January session from
day to day until the entire month is
consumed. BY such plan it would be
possible to delay the local option elec-
ton until after the state legislature
has taken some action upon the meas
ure. The suggestion was made to the
commissioners by an attorney whom
it is understood appeared in the inter-
ests of the liquor dealers. 1t is not be-
lieved probable the commissioners will
countenance such dilatory tactics and
that an order for the election will be
issued at the meeting of the board
next Saturday.
The petition was presented by Will
fred Jessup, counsel for the local Op-
tion league. He called attention to the
large number of signatures. He stated
the board might be told OF the chances
for delay and said such action might
be solely within the law. but he be-
lieved it unwarranted. Jessup said he
believed a delay for such a motive
would be unfair to the petitioners. the
commissioners and the public at large.
He pointed out that the board can not
forecast what the legislature may do
and consequently must move ahead in
answer to the demands of its constit-
uents.
The subject of an order for an elec.
tion before the county council has
made an appropriation was discussed
by the board. John Robbins, county
attorney, gave his opinion to the -ef-
feet the board may order the election
without waiting for the council to
make the appropriation. 1t is pre-
sumed the board will act in conformity
to this advice. There is a section
of law that has caused the question to
| arise. 1t provides action calling for
an appropriation can not be taken by
the commissioners until the appropria
! tion is made.
1t is not probable the board will act
| before Saturday. as the members wish
to examine the petition at their next
meeting which will be held Wednes
day.

Special Committee Meets This
Evening With Board of Di-
rectors to Submit Partial
report.
ATTEMPT REDUCTION IN
FIRE INSURANCE RATES
West Side Improvement Asso-
citation Will Be Assisted in
Movement to Secure New
Hose House.

Better fire protection for the city
will be a question taken up by the
Commercial club soon. This evening
at its directors meeting a partial re-
port may be made on the subject by
the special committee, including s. E.
Swayne, chairman; George Knollen-
berg, Sharon E. Jones, Adam H. Bar
tel and John L. Rupe. However the
action of the club will no doubt be
deferred until "a complete and final
report is made by the. committee. The
club has had the discussion of insur-
ance up for nearly a year now and
the new que stion is the outgrowth of
the investigation by the club commit
tee in order. that better fire insurance
rates may be obtained by the citizens,
merchants and manufacturers.
Will Assist West Siders.
Assistance will be given the West
Side improvement association in its
endeavor to secure hose house !:
Chief Miller in his efforts for addi-
tional apparatus and the merchants,
manufacturers and citizens demand
for better protection, providing the
committee makes such recommends
ton in its report. 1t is altogether
probable that the special committee
will make some report of this nature
for only by increasing the fire protec.
ton can the insurance rates be low
cred according to the insurance com.
panies.
The old line fire insurance compan
les. 1t will be remembered raise d their
rates by the Dean schedule. The Com
/, mercial club took up the defense OF
the business men, the majority oi
whom have been effected by having
their rates increased from 10 to 10G
per cent The insurance people mott
fled their local agents that the only
| possible arrangement whereby the
rates could be lowered would be to
improve protection, both in respect to
facilities for fighting fire and by max
Ing Improvements to properties. In
the latter case many citizens have
made the necessary improvements.
| An Additional Main.
In respect to protection however
the. companies feel that there should
| be an additional water main from the
pumping station to the city, to be used
| In case of emergency. In case of a
severe fire 1t is claimed that when ex
ira pressure is put on at the pumping
station the pipe line is liable TO burst
