Indianapolis, March Ex-Governor
the senate Thursday bill leg
alIzing all certificates OF tax credits
issued by county auditors, and Far
lows legalizing the issuance of war
rants by county auditors for townships
or Improvement districts On authority
of boards of county commissioners.
Concerning the former bill. Cover
nor Marshall said in his message to
the senate:
The power to compromise taxes
named in this act. Any question as to
omitted taxes should be subject to
public scrutiny and TO the investiga-
ton of the commissioners. One who
has not paid his fair proportion of tax
should not be relieved therefrom by
certificate from the county auditor al
ter the tax payer has filed his affidavit
of good faith and justice of his claim
to be credited ON such alleged omit
ted taxes
His objection to the FarlOW bill was
thai it might validate unlawful claims
and lead to such injustices as he men
toned i'll connection with the Aiken
bill.
The senate patched up Il substitute
for the Greenwich bill which the gov
crnor vetoed Thursday morning. The
original bill legaliZed warrants issued
by county auditors on order of boards
Of county commissioners and judS

troduced ii substitute bill at once,
which protects the auditors as pro-
vidcd in the first bill, but still does

VOLUME OF WATER
USED BY SCHOOLS
Millions of Gallons Consum-
ed in 1910 Officials Of
Company Say.

AS a result of statements regarding
the consumption of water in the pub
lie schools made during the school in
vestigation of the last few days and
which have been given publicity in
the press, the Richmond City Water
Works has prepared the following ar
ticle in answer:
Company's Statement.
Through the city press recently
statements have been made relative
TO the water furnished by this COM
pany TO the various schools, reference
having been made particularly TO the
consumption at the Whitewater
school. We will appreciate the favor
if YOU will give us the space to give
some data in reference to the amount
of water furnished our public schools,
as we believe the public is not aware
of the great quantity OF water that has
been and is being furnished free by
this company under our present con
tract with the city.
For the past ten years or more this
company has had meters on the SER
vices supplying the different schools
in order that we might determine the
quantity used by each. and by making
monthly examinations find where
there were lcakagcs and thus reduce
the waste of water that is unneces-
sary. Reports are made to the super
intendent of the sch FOOLS. Mr. Mott, and
through his cooperation we have been

1t may be interesting to know that
the following quantities of water were
used at the various schools for the
year ending December -, 1910:

month of 1.711,50O gallons. In this
table it will be noticed that the con-
sumption at the Whitewater school
was 106.50O gallons: comparing this
consumption with the Starr and Hib-
berd schools, which are larger schools
it will be noticed that the corsump-
ton of the Whitewater school was
higher in proportion than the other
two. This has been the case at this
school for a number of years, the
cause of which was due to the leaky
urinals and also to the fact that there
was not satisfactory arrangement for
turning off the fixtures at night. This
meant that there was a continual flow
through these fixtures for twenty-four
hours out of the day and seven days
of the week. 1t is no fault of this
company if the fixtures supplying the
urinals were not in satisfactory con-
dition, as there was certainly an am
pie supply of water being furnished
enough to flush these fixtures proper
ly if the plumbing had been in proper
condition.
we nave no criticisms to make of
the jantors or of any of the school Of
| ficials. and with the recent change in
the plumbing at Whitewater school
we believe this waste of water will be
remedied. This company has never
placed any restriction on the amount
of water to be used at the various
schools. and has simply tried, through
metering and reports to the superin-
intendent of schools. to get the unne-
/ cessary waste of water reduced. We
believe with this information that il
| will be seen that this company has
had no disposition 10 place any limit
on the amount OF water that is neces.
sary in the operation of the public
schools.
Thanking you for the courtesy we
are, very truly yours,
! Richmond City Water Works.

NEGRO KILLED LAST NIGHT
GENE WHITLEY SHOT THROUGH
HEART WITH .22-CALIBRE
WINCHESTER RIFLE.
.HAMP PALMER DID SHOOTING
"Eat Supper Here, May Eat Next
Meal in He'll" Said the
Shooter.

There was another negro killing last
night. This one, however, was not a
railroad accident, but Winchester
bullet aimed with deadly intent.
Gene Whitley was the negro killed
and Hamp Palmer did the killing. The
weapon used was a .22-calibre Win
chester rife, the ball entering the left
breast and evidently passing through
the heart, as death followed instantly.
AS usual. 1t was general family
row. Palmer married Whitley's sister
and they had separated, the woman
going back to her fathers, out near
the Manganic Wells. Palmer had been
|off up the country and came back here
yesterday and was seen in town with
the Winchester. He ate supper at
colored restaurant, and as he ate made
the remark: 81 will eat supper here,
but may eat my next meal in hell"
After supper he went out to his
father's-in-law, taking his rifle with
him, and the row soon began. He first
shot at his wife, but missed her, when
her father and brother took a hand
The old man hit him over the head
with something, and the brother. Gene
Whitley, snapped an old gun at him.
Palmer then turned his rife on young
Whitley and shot him through the
heart.
He left at once after the shooting
and went to Sheriff Conlee's home to
surrender. Mr. Conlee was not at
home and he left his rife there and
came on uptown. He went to Trent
Newton and Elon Stuart. who carried
him to the Jail and telephoned for
Constable Baker, who locked him up.
1t is noticeable fact that there has
scarcely been a term of the district
court in a number of years that there
was not killing or shooting scrape
during the session. Judge Scott stated
to Constable Baker this morning that
he would not reconvene the grand
jury.
