OFFER EVERYTHING
GET TURNED DOWN
Traction Company Not Even
Satisfied with "Compro-
mise" Board Offered.

According to County Attorney John
F. Robbins there is nothing to be con-
sidered by the commissioners in the
controversy regarding the placing of
the tracks of the Terre Haute, In
dianapolis and Eastern Traction com.
pany on the National road west, when
the board meets Saturday. He de-
clared it was his understanding that
the compromise which it was general
ly believed had only been under con-
sideration by the board had been of.
fered to the traction company and re-
ljected. This action, he said, makes
the matter rest upon the decision in
the mandamus suit entered in the
Wayne circuit court by the commits
sioner's attorneys to compel the trac-
ton company to comply with the orig
inal specification for the improve
ment of the road and place it's tracks
beyond the south curb line of the As
foot improvement.
Attorney Robbins declared that the
mandamus suit now under headway
since the filing of a demurrer by the
traction company attorney, would be
fought out and that its termination
would settle the controversy between
the company and the commissioners
as to where the tracks should be plac-
ed
AS it was understood the board
would not of1icially offer the COM
promise to the company, Attorney
Robbins statement is taken to mean
that it was unofficially made known to
the traction officials, resulting in their
declaring that it would not be accept.
ed by them.
The commissioners at their session
tomorrow will take action on the peti.
ton for an option election in Wayne
township outside the city of Rich.

.CAMPF|ELO MAKES
A REPLY TO DILL
Regarding Purchase Clause
in the Bid Which Camp
field Submitted.

In an explanation Of the purchase
clause of his water works proposition.
E. NJ. Campfield, who represents a bid
ding company, claims that he is mis-
represented by the statement of the
Richmond City Water works, which
was printed in yesterdays Palladium.
According to Campfield the city can
acquire the water works plant, under
his proposition at any time. Mr.. DiiIs
proposition the city cannot take over
the entire company until the $525.000
common stock is paid up. He says
the bonds for this amount expire at
the rate of $4,000 per year, and at
this rate the city could not take up
all the common stock for 25 years.
The Campfield bill provides that by
the payment of $4,000 per year, in ad.
dition to the $4,000, the city also re.
ceives the $150,0OO of preferred stock
of the company at the end of 25 years.
There is nothing to prevent the
city's purchasing the preferred stock
at any time, from the stockholders
The common stock, being non-voting
and non-productive of revenue, will
be placed in a trust company with
bonds for $150OOO preferred stock
and in case the city should decide to
purchase all the preferred stock, it
would merely assume control of the
company, and continue to meet it's pay.
ment of s31. 900 per year to the trust
company holding the bonds" said Mr.
Campfieid. Then he added:
'Of course the stockholders having
the preferred stock do not have to
sell at par unless they wish to do So
But that would be the same with the
Richmond City Water Works com
pany. Dill says that his company may
be bought by the city at any time
Yes, it can be bought at any time, pro
viding the stockholders wish to sell
or if the city will give them enough
for their stock
The idea of placing the stock in
bonds with trust company is so the
common stock can be issued to no one
but the city. 1t will be placed with
that agreement. Whenever the city
makes payment of s31 900, gold bond
certificates equal to that amount oi
money, will be issued to the city. Thus
the interest which the company pays
on the bonds, equalling s3S.0OO the
first year, will be cut down by each
payment. The s31, 900 bond held by
the city pays no interest. The aver
age amount of interest which the com
pany would have to pay each yeal
during the 25 year period. is SIT 600
If interest was paid the city on each
bond issued the company could no,
operate, the expense would be sc
great. When the city pays for the
common stock, the preferred stock is
cancelled and must be sold by the
stockholders to the city at par. This
! is at the expiration of % years"

A GREWSOME RECORD
|223 Murders in Chicago
Since October, 1909
(National News Association

tNational News AsSociation)
Chicago, June 1.-two hundred and
twenty-three murders and three hun
dred and twenty-five homicides have
been committed in Chicago since Oct.
%. 1909, according to a report COM
piled by a Chicago newspaper today.
OF this big list, more than three
fourths of the crimes went unpunisn-
ed and the abolishment of the execu-
ton system for murderers is blamed.
More than fifty Of the murders were
attributed to the Chicago Malta and
it is a notorious fact that not one OF
the real slayers Sas ever been arrest
ed. Following each killing several
persons are arrested and released a
few days later on the plea of lack OF
evidence"

The Earlham debt campaign in Rich
mond settled down today to a tremen-
dous effort to complete by evening, if
possible, the fund of $4,000 appor-
toned here in the $4,000 debt-raising
campaign.
Counting today there are but four
days left in which to complete the
fund of $4,000 and in round numbers
there is $4,000 yet to be raised.
At the rate subscriptions have been
coming in for the last two days the
fund would still be incomplete when
the campaign is ended next Tuesday
evening. Tomorrow is not looked up
on as good day for the local cam
paign as both the men who are help
ing in the canvass and those who are
to be seen are busy winding up their
business affairs for the week. On
Monday they are engaged in getting
their personal affairs underway for
the ensuing week, and for this reason
Monday holds no very bright prospects
1t seemed advisable, therefore to con-
centrate the efforts of the campaign
ers today, and with this view a special
meeting was held in headquarters in
the Leeds building this morning.
Kelly Addresses Workers.
dent Kelly in short address to the
men, and they were impressed with
the situation as presented. They en-
tered thoroughly into the spirit of do
it today for Earlham' and started out
full of enthusiasm and determination
to succeed today.
There was more vim and vigor in
the local campaign this evening than
at any other time this week. The cam.
paigners were encouraged by the fact
that several large contributions which
have been under consideration for two
or three days might be definitely set
tied and reported today. If there is
no hitch and these sarger pledges are
received today they, with the others
that will be brought in by the CAM
paigners, will undoubtedly give the
Richmond fund the greatest boost it
has yet received in any one day. And,
they will surely push the total we'll
toward $4,000.
Phoenix Society's Aid.
1t has been reported that the Phoe-
nix society of Earlham has given $751;
90 to the debt fund. This gift was in
the form of cancelled note and in.
terest given by the college and held
by the society.
The members of the Sophomore
class have already raised a fund OF
$25S by individual pledges and this
amount may be increased. The other
classes have made contributi1ns pre-
viously, the Senior class having start
ed the fund with $1,000. The county
canvassers are today in Cottage Grove,

pect to meet with success.

The site picked out for the yards and
the shops is within a short distance of
the town and is one of the most ideal
spots on the line. The country is
level and will require only a little
grading and fill work.
When the actual work begins on
