A FRENCH OFFICER
AIR RATE WINNER
M. Conneau Arrives in Paris
Today After Flying
1000 Miles.
(National News Associations

Paris, July 1.-THE circuit of Europe
air contest which was flown over a
thousand mile course above four ma
tions and the English channel, came
to an end at Vincennes today with
Lieut.. Conneau, of the French army,
who flies under the name of Andrew
Beaumont, the winner.
Conneau, who was also the winner
of the Paris Rome flight, will receive
$4,000 as a result of his victory.
Roland Barros was second, Vidart
third. Pierre Vedrine, the hero of the
Paris-to-Madrid race, who led all
through many stages of the contest,
and who was expected to win it, came
to grief near Amians, when his motor
went wrong and he was compelled to
descend. kimmerling also suffered
motor trouble and was compelled to
alight at Cologne.
Vidart was the first man to finish in
the race, touching earth at the Vim
cennes aerodrome at $50. Conneau
was officially awarded the victory be-
cause he had made the greatest speed
over the entire route Roland Garros
and Gilbert also finished earlier than
the winner the former reaching Vim
cennes at SIS and the latter at S:24.
Renaux, the only contestant to carry
passenger on the long flight, arriv-
ed at 1925.
The airline distance between Calias
where today's stage of the race start
ed, and Paris, is 140 miles.

A new STREET CAR
LINE NOW ASSURED
Company Promises to Run a
Spur North of Railroad
in Near Future.

When the officials of the Terre
Haute, indianapolis and Easter Trac-
tion company subscribed to several
shares of stock in the Hawkins park
project, which has been promoted I'M
der the auspices of the Commercial
club, the members of the soliciting
committee were assured by the trac-
tion officials that street railway line
would be built across the Pennsyl-
vania railroad as soon as the business
in that vicinity justified the exten-
sion
c. w. Jordan, secretary of the Com
mercial club. who has been very active
in closing the option on the land, be-
|lieves that the club would formulate
It's organization and plan the develop
ment at the Monday evening meeting
of the directors. All indications now
point to the conversion of the property
into an amusement park in time for
the opening next summer, in which
event the club believes the traction
company will be justified in making
the extension and feels certain it will
do so since it has had enough faith in
the project to purchase a block of
stock
Company plans for the extension, so
far as is known here, have not been
definitely made. 1t is generally be-
lieved, however. that the line will run
as far west as the hospital. Street rail-
way service to the hospital is urgently
desired.
A question which has arisen is a
name for the new park and name
for the lake.
Because of the activity of DR.. T.
Henry Davis, city health officer, in the
project, there have been several who
have suggested the lake be known as
Davis Lake." and the park as River
side Park" The club is particularly
the park and the lake and no doubt
will formulate plan whereby sugges-
tions of titles for the park and lake
will be received.
The old grist mill at Twelfth and the
river has come into possession of the
club, as it was part of the Hawkins
property. 1t is probable that the mill,
which is a source of some little reve-
nue., will be continued in operation.
The operating expenses are very small
iRasmuch as the machinery is still run
by water power. The demand for the
product is sufficient to keep the mill
running almost the entire year. ..

Boston, July THE sixth day of
the New England hot spell found the
temperature slightly lower than on
Thursday, due to a heavy thunder
storm, but before a. m. three more
deaths had been reported in Boston.
The list of fatalities for the last "A

stricken in the same period. The hu-
midity at 10 O'Clock last night was SO,
rise of 26 points in "a hours. To
day the atmosphere was surcharged
with moisture but the heat was not so
intense. Officials today believe the
apex of the hot wave has been passed.
The ice and milk shortage is now the
most serious problem of the sweltering
New England cities and towns.

Organization, Perfected Last
Evening, Will Prepare a
Book Showing Credits OF
All Local People.
FAKE ADVERTISING
PUT INTO DISCARD
No Longer Will Richmond
Merchants Invest Their
Money in Advertising that
Nets Them Nothing.

With the perfection of the organi-
cation OF the Merchants Section of the
Commercial Club, which was accom-
plished at the Thursday evening meet
ing, the time for the professional
dead beats" Of Richmond to either
come across and pay their debts or in
the future pay cash for their purchas-
es has arrived A committee to be ap.
pointed by President II. c. Hasemeier
will prepare rate book and those af.
fliated in the club will base the credit
which they will extend to any one per-
son on his standing as indicated by
this book.
For several years the credit system
which merchants have extended has
been based on a publication, prepared
at Lima, Ohio. and while in many
ways the book was satisfactory, the 10
cal merchants determined they would
prepare their own. Persons who are
worthy and deserving of credit will
be given credit in the ratio the mer.
chants believe Is due them. The rate
book will be prepared solely for the
purpose of protecting the merchant
who has been made a victim of many
dead beats" 1t is probable the per.
vonnel Of the committee will not be
made public.
No Fake Advertising.
Merchants also are going to protect
themselves by refusing to advertise in
cook books. song books and other
schemes which net them no results.
Instead of spending their money for
scheme" advertising. the merchants
will use It in the legitimate way, such
as newspapers, periodicals and the
like. Thousands Of dollars have been
taken from Richmond by promoters of
advertising schemes. The president
will appoint a sanctioning committee
to which all advertisements, not alto
gether regular, must be submitted
The action of this committee will be
final and any scheme advertising
which Is approved must be of such a
character that the merchant will feel
certain he will obtain results from the
money he spends.
At the present time the organiza'
ton consists of about fifty members
all retailers. At least fifty more mem
bers are expected before the summer
Is passed. The Merchants section will
meet quarterly in the Commercial
club rooms, while the officers and d.
rectors will meet subject to the presi-
dents call. Those affiliated are also
members of the Indiana Retail Mer-
chants association. The officers of the
organization are President II. G. Hase-
meier. Vice President. w. II. Romey,

County Superinten d ent,
Argues that This Law Can
Not Be Overlooked. e

Though without the least possible
$3.50 for years salary for a deputy
county superintendent, the county
council at its Friday session again
turned down such an appropriation
and Superintendent Williams has trun-
ed the matter over to Attorney Will
fred Jessup. who. unless an agree
ment is reached out of court. will
either sue the county or institute
mandamus proceedings against Coun-
ty Auditor Demas S. Coe to compel
the payment
On Thursday when the appropria-
ton was first considered the county
council refused the appropriation by
a unanimous vote. On Friday. county
superintendent, Charles w Jordan.
explained the necessity for the en-
ployment of deputy. The legal side
of the matter was made clear by the
attorney representing Williams, who
declared the county could no more
evade employing a deputy county SUI
perintendent, since the law provides
such an officer. than the county could
dispense with it's other county Off
cials.
Tie Vote Was Cast.

vote again Friday. Harvey Cook, Louis
Hampton and John Judkins voted
mo" and the yeas" were H. H. Rob
inson. Elias Hoover and Frank Worl
As 1t was tie vote the ordinance
failed of passage. Those who voted
for the appropriation did SO because
they said they understood the neces.
sity of a deputy being employed and
explained their opposition Thursday
by stating that at that time they did
not thoroughly understand the mat
ter.
Councilmen who voted in the mega.
tive took the stand that the Office is
expensive, and. if necessary, the de-
putty should be paid for out of the
county superintendent salary Mr.
Judkins declared that If the council
passed that act, it would be something
else next year and SO on until the
county would approach the bankrupt
cy stage. He said he thought it was
time to call a halt on the expenditure
of the public's money.
The law which provides for the
employment of deputy county super.
intendent was passed by the recent
legislature. It's essential points are
that deputy may be employed a
hundred and twenty days year at So
a day. 1t specified that the county
commissioners should determine on
the necessity of such deputy. This
the Wayne county board did some
time ago and fixed the salary. In order
that the auditor could pay the money
he had to have the money appropriat.

Within two weeks, if the hot wealth

shortage OF ice in Richmond, which will
cause the price to advance from 21a to
5 cents per 100 pounds on the cheap

saloons. The natural supply, from l.
500 to 1000 tons, now stored in local
ice houses will be exhausted within a
fortnight, it is said by officials of the
local ice company. 1t will then be
necessary to import ice. The Rettis
and Johnson company has a contract
with an ice manufacturing firm in An
derson and will have contracts signed
within a day or two with other COM
panies. The Anderson company is at
tempting to evade the contract, as
there are higher prices now prevailing &
at Anderson.

total output of artificial ice, which is
furnished to private consumers, is
from 40 to so tons per day, and the
daily consumption in the city during
the hot weather has been over 65 tons
per day. With the ice machines run
ming at full capacity there is greater
danger of a breakdown, and the COM
pany is conserving the machines as
much as possible. In case of break
of the machines serious ice famine
would result. ss.

The initiative and the referen.

coming Ohio constitutional con
vention, and the elector who de-
sires that the new constitution
shall safeguard his interests
will see to it that the candidate
for delegate who gets his vote
is right on that proposition.
This is the test that should be
applied to every candidate. 1t
makes no difference whether
the delegate elected from Van
Vert County believes in prohib-
iting or regulating the liquor
traffic, as that question will not
be, and should not be, an issue
in the making Of a constitution
for this State.
Given the initiative and the
referendum, the people Of the
State will settle the liquor ques-
tion to their own satisfaction
ufterward.
