VERDICT OF $500
FOR ADAM HOWARD
Jury in Hotly Contested
Road Case Finds for the
Plaintiff.

The jury in the case of Adam How
ard, Clay township farmer who ask
ed $1,1OO damages in the event that
a road is opened through his farm re-
turned a verdict this morning, finding
for Howard and awarding damages to
the amount of $500. The case was
given the jury about 4:3O o'clock yes
terday afternoon and after seventeen
ballots were taken an agreement was
reached at 1880 o'clock. 1t is under
stood that no members of the jury held
out for the maximum amount, al
though some believed Howard should
have been awarded more than $500.
The case, which was opened Mon
day, January Is, has been very cost
ly one. The jury fees alone will
amount to $144, and the mileage OF
jurymen, witness fees and other court
costs will raise this amount to more
than $500. The case was appealed
from the commissioners court to the
circuit court.
The members Of the jury were Clay
ton Hunt, foreman; Charles Neff, Har-
mon kuhlman, Morris Pyle, John l..
Replogle, John Conklin, jr, Lloyd
Hill, r. o. Bailey, Charles Martindale,
William Davenport, Clinton Bertsch
and Ira Murphy.
day morning in the Wayne circuit
court. Fred Worl, who is the princi.
pal petitioner in the case, which is
also appealed from the county commits
sioners' court, asks that road be
opened running east and west through
Harrison township. The west end Of
the proposed highway will run on the
ferson townships.
The remonstrants, who are repre-.
sented by Shiveley and Shiveley, con
tend that the proposed road would not
be q public utility and that it would
cost from $4,000 to $4,000 to con.
struct it. The proposed road would
be one and one-half miles in length
and it would be necessary to make
fills, it is said, on either side Of the
Martindale creek, over which the road
would cross and also to make excava
tions at other points along the pro
!! posed route of the highway.
The board of reviewers decided that
the road would be public utility and
it awarded damages to persons
through whose land the road would
run. Among the romonstrants are
Alonzo, Frank, Elias and Phillip Wori
John Mason of Hagerstown, repre-
! senting the petitioners will be assisted
by John Robbins, county attorney.

CANNON READY
FOR: STRIKERS
(National News Association

LAWRENCE, Mass, Jan. 23.-Ar-
tillery, loaded with grape and cannis-
ter was held in readiness for use here
today against the textile workers who
have threatened to attack the soldiers
on guard at the South Lawrence
bridge, and storm the mills, which are
trying to resume operations in South
Lawrence. Horses were harnessed to
the three inch guns and the artillery
men stood ready for an order to get
into action. Although soldiers with
loaded guns have been on duty for
some time this was the first prepara-
tion for the use Of artillery. The de-
mand for cannon was the direct re-
suit of a threat of a woman strike
leader to order her women followers
to cross the bridge.
The South Lawrence bridge forms
part of the dead line established by
the militia, beyond which no strikers
are allowed to go.

With Ettor's departure the strikers

is also on his way to Lawrence.

WATER SUPPLY or
COUNTY A Menace
Lowering of Ground Water
Level Discussed by the
Health Authorities.

Wayne county people should take ac-
tive interest in the fifth annual Meet
ing of the Indiana Sanitary and Wa
ter Supply association. to be held at
the fifteenth and sixteenth OF Feb
ruary, in the opinion of County Health
Commissioner J. f. King, and City
Health Officer T. Henry Davis. In re-
viewing the local conditions, the two
health experts admit that Wayne
county is facing a serious crisis
through the lowering of the ground
water level, and that the. finding of
any cure for this evil at the state asso-
cations convention, will be welcomed
by local conservationists.
According to the heads of the two To-
cal health departments, representing
the city and county, the ground water
level here has been lowered ten feet
in the past half century, and is con-
tinuing to go down at an alarming
speed. This is due, explains DR.. King,
to the fact that much of the land is
being drained as rapidly as possible,
rather than following the plan of con-
serving the water supply, and chemi-
cal action in the ground is also, of
course, responsible for lessening the
water
The results of these two causes, one
of which is entirely within the con
| troll of the people of the county, can
be seen in all parts of the county
Wells, say the health authorities, are
going dry continually, and crops dc
| not receive enough moisture through
the earth. Even the deepening OF
wells. and other precautions are not
stopping this menace to the welfare
| of the community, assert the officials
The meeting at Indianapolis will
attract large number of experts
from all parts of the country. The
| Wayne county health department will
be represented at the gathering. Fol
lowing are some of the noted speak
ers for the conventions: DR.. G. B

YIELDS
A PATRONAGE CLUB
For Second Time Taft En-
ploys This Weapon to
Fight Progressives.
(National News Association)

WASHINGTON. Jan. 23.-President
Taft has let it be known that insur-
gents or progressive Republicans need
expect no patronage at his hands.
Recommendations to Office by progress.
sive Republicans will not receive ia.
vorable consideration. The President
took this stand when he refused posi-.
lively to appoint DR.. w. 8. Devine az
postmaster at Marshalltown, Iowa. Di'
vine is the Republican county chair
man of Marshall county. He was rec
commended by Rep. Good. progressive
member from that district. and backed
upby Senator Cummins.
President Taft told Mr. Good that he
would not appoint Mr.. Devine. as he
had been advised by Gov. Carol, ex
senator Young and other standpat Re
publicans that Devine was a progress
sive and active against the admins
tration. BY this act the president has
let 1t be known that he intends to use
the federal patronage club to enhance
his chances for denomination, wherev
er he can. 1t will be recalled that the
president withheld the patronage from
insurgent Republicans earlier in his
administration to discipline them La
ter he came out in public statement
through Secretary Norton, admitting
that the disciplinarian method. hat
failed. and saying that he had decided
to restore the patronage to the insur
gents.
This admission has frequently beer
characterized as one of the most hu
initiating ever made by any presiden
for in 1t the president admitted tina,
he had used federal patronage unsuc
cessfully in an attempt to coerce con
gress. The president has now served
notice on the progressives that he hal
again taken up the patronage club te
use on those who dare oppose his re
nomination.

Files Charges Against Gil

Tub Trust Case.
(National News Association)


BUFFALO,, n. V, Jan. 23.-Judge
John r. Hazel. sitting in the U. S.
district court this morning imposed a
fine of $4,000 upon the Standard Oil
company in the case of the alleged vio-
lation of the Elkins act in accepting
rebates in shipment of oil from Olean,
N. Y, to Burlington, Va. The Stan
dard Oil company was found guilty
upon 143 counts, and under the pro-
visions of the law a maximum pental-
ty of $4,000 was possible on each
count, which, had the fine been i'm.
posed, would have aggregated $2,S6O.
900. The case has occupied the at
tention of the U. S. district court for
more than a year.
In passing sentence upon the com
pany Judge Hazel said: The fact
that the violations were committed al
a time of other transactions. for which
the Standard Oil company was recent
ly fined, is taken into consideration
by the court. 1t is not so-called
second offense, and as the railroads
mentioned in the indictment and or
whose behalf pleas of guilty of grant
ing the concessions were fined $56, ,oOt
in the aggregate, it seems to me thai
in this case a fine of $4,000 is ad
eQuate."
