GASOLINE GOING UP
Being Used Here More Than
in Former Years.

The effect of the exhaustion of nat
ural gas in this vicinity on the price
of coal oil and gasoline II beginning
to be shown, with the increase In the
prices of products Of the Standard Oil
company. Coal oil has advanced from
ten cents per gallon to twelve and one
half cents per gallon, and gasoline has
advanced from fourteen to fifteen and
sixteen cents per gallon.
The manager of the local branch Of
the Standard Oil company stated to-
day that the demand for coal oil and
gasoline in all parts of the country is
growing constantly. Since the natur-
al gas supply was exhausted large
numbers OF housewives In the rural
districts, as well as the city, have
been using gasoline in preference to
artificial gas and coal.
Within the past twelve or fourteen
months, it 10 said, oil dealers in this
city have placed about 1000 coal oil
cook stoves In Richmond and vicinity.

REPORT
. ON TRACTION LINE
Was Received by the Direct
ors from the Engineer
Making Survey.

Encouragement for continuing work
ON the project was mutually given by
directors of the new Richmond and
Eastern Indiana traction company
when they met yesterday afternoon ut
the Commercial Club to discuss and
investigate the survey report OF the
indianapolis engineers Jeup and
Moore. AS the directors devoted most
of their time yesterday merely to .
study of the big document, they reach
ed no decision regarding their future
course of action. They seemed well
pleased with the absence of unexpect-
ed engineering problems from the re-
port, and determined to meet next
week for further consideration Of the
data before proceeding with new work.

The opinion that there will be no

rectors announced that b. J. T. Jeup,

TAFT CAMPAIGN ON,

CHICAGO, Feb. 1O.-Taft headquar-
ters were opened today in the Hotel
Lasalle. They will be maintained un.
til after the Republican national con-
vention in this city in June.
Led, by federal officeholders, the
Taft supporters here let it be known
that they are to make a real fight to
get delegates to vote for Taft at the
national convention. The business
men who organized the Chicago Taft
club have taken postmaster Campbell
into their confidence with the result
that the SO called federal crowd and
the business interests hxve amalga'
mated.
The experienced politicians are to
do the directing and the business men
are to do the work and pay for it.
The first thing planned is for the
leaders Of the Chicago club to get in
touch with President Taft's general
managers. Congressman william Nc.
Kinley, general manager for Mr.. Taft
may be here himself fer a short stay
within a week or ten days, but at any
rate President David r. Morgan, of the
Taft club, will be in Washington in a
day or two, where he will confer with
both Mr.. Mckinley and with Charles

CHICAGO, Feb. 1O.-Seventy-eight
enthusiastic Republicans representing
states, attended this
mornings meeting of the Roosevelt
conference at the Congress hotel. AL
exander H. Revell, chairman of the
national Roosevelt committee, presid-
ed. He said before the meeting was
called to order that reports would be
heard relative to the Roosevelt senti-
ment in various parts OF the country,
and that it was probable resolutions
will be adopted, defining the position
of the representative men in attend
ance.
1t may be that these resolutions will

most enthusiastic Roosevelt support
ers present was William o. Brown,
chairman of the state committee Of
Ohio.

"The sentiment in Ohio is over
whelmingly for Roosevelt" said Mr..
Brown. MANY of our people believe
he is the only Republican that can be
elected this year. In every congress

will be two candidates for delegate to

THE STORY OF THE TITANIC WRECK.

NV oTHING that can now be told by the survivors of the Titanic
AN wreck can add to the horror of that calamity. During the
long period of anxious waiting and suspense for the Car
pathla to arrive with the survivors the imagination of people
painted all that occurred. 1t was only left for the survivors to fill
in the details. The sinking of a great steamship in midocean with
hundreds OF passengers and the crew is a not unfamiliar event,
and the public has read descriptions of the horror that would
readily fit the sinking of the Titanic. First the shock, then the
calming assurances of the officers, soon beled by their instructions
TO prepare for the worst; then the panic, the rush, the shrieks of
the women and shouts of the men, the prayers of the helpless. the
resOlute lining up of the officers and crew to protect the boats for
the women and children, and finally the catastrophe. All these
incidents OF a steamer wreck were repeated on the Titanic on that
fearful Sunday night. The stories told by the survivors are of in
diVidual experiences and they present their different points of
view. If they are contradictory that should be expected. But
out of the fragmentary stories told of the fearful midnight
drama enacted on the Titanic and from the statements of the sur
viving officers there will be evolved a connected story as thrilling
as any narrative ever written, that will take a permanent place in
the literature of the world.

TAMPERLNG WITH ARMY AND NAVY.

TE VERY other great power regulates its military and naval
LIZ establishments according to the advice plans of experts.
1t is left to the United States to have its army and navy
regulated according to the ideas of congressional maiorities that
are brought from civic life and belong to the law office, the country
tradesman, the vilIager and farmer. The whole trouble with our
army is the lack of a consistent and continuous policy. ignorant
meddlng by Congress and politics. The same trouble affects the
navy to a lesser degree. A consistent and continuous policy was
adopted for the navy in the program of two battleships every
year, but at session after session it has been carried out only with
the utmost difficulty, and now some purblind Democrats in the
House would cut out the battleshipS altogether and vitality weaken
the nations great defense. Economy is the plea and it is an
economy that may cost the nation enormous sacrifices. With the
same unrehecting ignorance the House would destroy five splen-
didly trained cavalry leGinerf@ and paralyze an arm that has cost
so much to build up y" : OF the past have taught nothing
