WANT TRACKS IN
MIDDLE OF ROAD
I. H., |. & F. Asks to Amend
National Road Improve
ment Contract.

Request was made Wednesday to
the board OF county commissioners by
Representatives OF the Terre Haute.
indianapolis and Eastern Traction
company to amend the provisions of
the contract between Frank Cronin
and Wayne township for the improve
ment of the National road west from
West Fifth street to the Center-Wayne
township boundary line. The COM
pany wants its tracks in the middle of
the road
The commissioners have taken no
action. lnaSmuch as farmers who
are in the habit OF driving on the high
way make serious objection and d
change in the original plans at this
late hour would increase the cost of
the improvement by at least $4,000, it
is likely that the board will turn the
proposition down. Farmers who are
in the habit of driving horses which
are more or less timid when seeing an
approaching interurban, which in the
country run al high rates of speed, are
particularly anxious not to have to
share any more of the road with the
company.
The company's proposition is that
the contract with Frank Cronin be
amended permitting it to lay its track
in the center of the highway from
West Fifth street to Easthaven ave.
nue. instead Of from West Fifth street
to the west corporation line of the
city. Also instead of placing their
track out side of the south curb line
from Easthaven avenue to the Wayne
Center township boundary line that
they put the tracks within the curb
line.
The reasons given for desiring to
place their tracks in the center OF
the highway as far as Easthaven ave
nue. were that some day this would be
done and the company might as well
save this expense by providing for the
inevitable now. 1t was claimed that
Richmond's west boundary line would
some day be Easthaven avenue, and
a city ordinance compels the stree,
car company to place its tracks in the
center of the highway.

ATTEMPTS A FORD
AND WAS DROWNED
Tragic Fate Met by Preble
County Wife
Witnessed Tragedy.

Eaton, O.. April 5.-Failing to heed
the voice of his wife, wlo imn2ored
him to cross the stream by a bridge
only short distance below. Atorzo
Arthur. -. Tuesday morning att amnt~
ed TO ford Twin Creek at a point abolt
three miles south Of Levisburs and
was swept to his death under the SURG
ing waters.
The wife, alarmed for tae safety III
her husband. believing that he would
attempt 10 ford the stream, folcwe i
him from the house and was on the
| banks of the stream when the tragedy
occurred.
Arthur was riding in a covered
spring wagon and driving small
horse. The broad sides of the We
hicle were caught instantly upon ell,
tering the stream. and it was over
| turned. The horse was released from
| the harness and swan TO the shore
| but Arthur went down in the wagon.
| The top and the sides of the wagon
! are believed to have imprisoned him
and prevented any effort in saving
| HlllSGll. ne ulSu waters turned tne
wagon over and over and Arthur 5
body was finally thrown out.
| The alarm for help given by Ar
| thurs wife was answered by three
duck hunters. who happened to be
proceeding along the stream. But
on the arrival of the men, the time for
assistance had passed.
! The news of the tragedy soon
spread. and in a short time number
of neighbors and others We're on the
scene. A close watch was made
along the stream the remainder of the
day for the body of Arthur, but this
proved futile. and late today it had
not been recovered.
| The point at which Arthur lost his
| life is known as the old Eli Ozias ford
and is near the farm known by tia,
name, but later owned by Joseph Mat
tbs, who died few weeks ago.
Besides the grief-crazed wife, he is
survived by two small daughters, aged
about ) and 5 years.

CHAMP CLARK IS
FOR RECIPROCITY
So Are Democrats, Says New
Speaker-Fight Starts in
the House on Rules.
American News ScrViCc)

Washington. April 9 Speaker
Clark today denied that he had inten-
tionally omitted reference TO the Ca
madam reciprocity in outlining the
Democratic program yesterday. Il
have been for Canadian reciprocity for
some years. I. don't know when Taft
became converted, but when he sent
his reciprocity bill 10 the house, all
the Democrats except five voted for
it, and he could not pass it through a
Republican house. Democrats are for
reciprocity, but | could not mention
everything in d five minute speech. 1t
! is a political trick when any one at
: tempts to make capital out of the fact
that | did not refer to reciprocity,
which the Democrats have favored
since 1894"
! The second day of the Sixty second
congress opened with a wrangle over
the rules TO be adopted by the new
house. which developed into filibus-
ter. led by Mann. the minority leader.
After routine business had been trans
acted, Rep. Henry, chairman of the
new rules committee, sent to the desk
a special rule providing that new rules
of the house should be the order of
! the day and that four hours debate
should be had upon them, and that the
Republicans should have the privilege
of offering a substitute for the Demo
cratic rules. Rep. Norris of Nebra ska
leading insurgent. was on his feet
Immediately, Il want to know if we
will not have a chance to offer amend
ments?' asked Norris.
we present these rules as a party
measure and will allow your party to
| present substitute for them, re-
piled Henry. Norris declared this
would be entirely satisfactory and in
Dictated that the changes desired by
the insurgents might be included in
the substitution. Henry is now the
Democratic steam roller man. Repre-
sentative Mann stepped into the
breach and with a suggestion that a
forty minute debate he had before the
Henry resolution was adopted, inau-
gurated a filibuster. The debate on
rules themselves, it was expected
would occupy the entire session. There
was also received from the President
and Secretary of the navy informa
ton called for in the Lafollette resoiu
ton. agreed to in February. relating to
the construction of battleships for the
Argentine navy in this country. At
12:1S the senate went into executive
session, and adjourned at 12:25 until
tomorrow at noon.
