"A YEAR WITHOUT SUMNER. "
Indiana Negroes Are Looking
For The Judgment

Away back, probably 80 years. II
has been said. there was "a year
without summer. A lady Of this
city stated a few weeks back that
she had record that has been hand
ed down from generation to gener-
alton that would prove that such a
year had been experienced.
There is no question but that this
has been a year different in many
respects from any ever known by
the people. 1t is not necessary to
go much into detail. Let us Jus.
compare the temperature with that
of last summer. As a man stated
not longer than last Saturday. there
has already been no really warm
weather. The government thermon.
e er shows that only once or twice
did the mercury reach the hundred
mark. and there has not been a
heated term of long continuace.
We are now in the middle of August,
and during the month that the hot

AS to the year 1910, it was unani-
mously voted the hottest ever known,
the mercury for three months
cavorting around between the 90aad
100 degree marks. never getting for
two months lower than about 99j at
night. We are writing from mem

are We that we have not taken the
trouble to look up the records, but
hey can be found.

Litigation of Power Rights Along
Goshen Pass

A matter involving great interests
was under consideration yesterday
In the Circuit Court OF Rock bridge.
The question at issue was attempted
condemnation proceedings by the
Public Service Power Company of
Richmond, of certain lands in Gosh
en- Pass which are held under op
ton by the Goshen Power Company.
Both companies we're represented
by able counsel. The case was con
tinued to December 18th.
The point in dispute is the couten-
ton OF the two companies over the
control OF certain lands in Goshen
Pass which appear essential to the
enjoyment OF power rights at that
place.
Four years ago Mr.. f. Med. Moore
Of Lexington, began work on a
scheme OF utilizing the immense
power in North River at Goshen
Pass, and be succeeded in interest
ing in his scheme Messrs. J. G.
White & Company, contracting en-
oineer> Of New York. | n the mean
while, last March, Mr.. w. J. Payne
OF Richmond, attempted to open ne
gotiations with Mr.. Moore TO become
interested in the power proposition,
but no agreement could be reached.
In August of this year charter was
secured for the Public Service Pow
or Company, Incorporated, with Mr..
James Mullen of Richmond, as pres
ident, which succeeded Mr.. Payne.
October 10, 1912, a charter was Sc
cured by the Goshen Power Com
pauy. Incorporated, with MIR. r.
Med. Moore as president, to carry
out the plans OF the White Company.
The Public Service Power Com.
pany secured options on lands To-
Gated in what would be the basin OF
the proposed dam, but not regarded
as essential by the Goshen Power
Company, while the Goshen Power
Company had options in the gorge,
considered the key to the situation.
The proposed condemnation pro.
ceedings applied to three pieces Of
land, two of which we're under op
ton to the Goshen Power Company,
and the third one WAS Sopurad voc
terday.

Mr.. Tucker Suggested for Cabinet

The Washington correspondence
of the Baltimore Sun in yesterday :
paper says:
Progressive Democrats in Vir-
ginia, who led the fight in that State
for Wilson. will provide the Prcsl
dent-elect with Cabinet officer. if
the new executive turns to that
State for member Of his official
family.
Harry ST. George Tucker Of Lex
ington, is the choice of these Virgin
ians for such an honor. With Speak
er Richard Evelyn Byrd of the Vir-
ginia House OF Delegates, and one or
two other associates, he led the fight
for Wilson in his State, spoke in al
most every county and succeeded
in breaking the unit rule that the
Norfolk convention was about to
impose upon the Virginia delega-
tion to Baltimore.
1t is not the activity of MIR. Tucker
in the precon vention campaign or
his effective work for the National
ticket after the nomination was
made, however. that his friends now
urge in his behalf 1t is Mr.. Tuck
er's whole hearted sympathy with
the kind OF Democracy that Cover
nor Wilson atands for, and his rec
ognized ability as a scholar and
statesman, that will commend him
to the Presiden t-elect, they believe.
