ICE IS PLENTIFUL,
TEAMS ARE SCARCE
Rettig Says 1t Is Difficult TO
Secure Men to Deliver
Frozen Water.

In spite of the fact that there is
more natural ice than can be used this
year and there is a plentiful supply of
artificial ice. Otto Rettig the local ice
dealer stated today that il is almost
impossible to supply the demand for
ice in this city because of the scarcity
OF teams and men.
The ice company has offered as high
as So a day for teams and has made
an increase in the wages of the ice
men in order to hold its employees.
Owners of teams laugh at the offer
of So a day and are not attracted 10
the ice business by the increase in
wages" said Rettig.
There are now three more ice wag-
ons delivering in the city than ever
before. The highest number used last
year was ten wagons during the rush
season while thirteen wagons furnish
ed the regular trade this year. AS
many as four men are on some of the
wagons.
Mr.. Rettig stated that more natural
ice is stored this year than can be
used while the manufacturing plants
have q capacity to furnish any requir-
ed amount of the artificial product

TO PREVENT ESCAPES.
Appropriation Made for Home
for the Friendless.

AS a result of the escape of Law
renee Garwood from the Home for the
Friendless, the county council yester-
day appropriated $500 TO further
strengthen the institution so that es-
capes in the future will be less easily
effected Especially will the juvc lille
ward be strengthened. Fifteen hun
dred dollars was appropriated several
days ago for repairing the inTtitr'-'"''
The trustees of the institution appear
ed before the commissIonti,
day, as did Matron Thomas of the
home.
The sum of $50 was also appropriate
ed today for witness fees.
Former Sheriff Steen received in
and outs fees amounting to S411.50,
The fees were in question at the eX-
piration of Stems term last December
and were legalized at the last session
of the legislature.
The high cost of material together
with the scarcity of laborers made it
necessary for the county council to
increase appropriations for bridge re-
pairs.
Last week bids on several bridges
were rejected temporarily because the
appropriations made were not large
enough. The sum of $500 additional
was appropriated for the Centerville
bridge, $500 additional for the Veal
bridge, $500 addition for the Bur
roughs bridge.

A Booty ATTORNEY
CALLS ON SHERIFF
Went to See Client in Jail But
Wandered Into the Gar
ret Instead.

Attorney Sumpsher Of Union county,
according to attaches Of the sheriffs
office, came to Richmond yesterday to
interview his client, Owen Terry,
charged with the murder of Marshal
Richardson of Cottage Grove, and, be-
ing unable to withstand the tempta-
tions of Richmond booze, fell by the
wayside.
He went to the Jail and said he
wanted to interview Terry. Rice Mil
Ter, care taker at the institution,
brought Terry from the Jail and took
them to a private room in the build
ing.
A Silent Interview.
Sumpsher did not seem to have
much to say to his client, who had
less to tell his attorney. Miller, fear
ing he would fall asleep, told the law
yer to end his interview before he
started lit, if the consultation was to
take as long as the preliminary Sc
ance. The professional man then said
he wanted to talk to the prosecutor.
He was shown to room with tele-
phone and left there alone, the Jail
attendant supposing he would commu-
nicate by phone with the states at
torney. Instead of using the telephone
Sumpsher proceeded to explore the
mysterious recesses of the bastile
and was soon on the second floor of
the building which is occupied by the
sheriff's family Two daughters of
Sheriff Bayer were in one of the bed
rooms and were very much surprised
to see the attorney walking around in
a seemingly aimless manner. Believ-
ing he was an escaped inmate of the
Jail they were about to call assistance
when he proceeded to walk up anoth-
er flight of stairs, leading to the gar
get of the building. The girls then told
Miller what his visitor was doing and
he Immediately orderedSumpsher from
the third floor to the street. Later the
, attorney was found in the court house
| by Miller who told him he would ar
rest him if he did not leave that build
| ing Sumpsher went back to Union
| county.

COUNCIL COOKS
AND COMPLAINS

Sweltering in the council cham
Der last night with the tempera-
ture in the room above ninety and
the humidity heavy, Mayor Zim-
norman asked some councilman
to make a motion to request the
members of the board of works to
purchase for the council chamber
enough electric fans to keep the
air in the room cool and in con-
slant circulation. The overheated
councilmen complained against
the almost intolerable heats
against the length of the argu-
ments; against the water which
was supplied them for drinking
purposes and against everything
they could think of. The council
men have asked several times for
a water cooler but until Mayor
Zimmerman was effected by the
heat no steps toward obtaining
the desired cooler were taken.
The councilmen desire to have ice
cold water to drink at the next
meeting anu expect W ll1u the al
in the council chamber cool and
breezy.
Following speeches by attor-
neys, during which several of the
councilmen created disturbances
by asking in loud whispers that
the attorneys be rejected from the
place. it was moved that council
adjourn.
1T has been moved and second
ed that this meeting adjourn
said the mayor, If any one here
has anything to say in favor of
the motion, you can talk for half
of one minute. We will hear no
objections"
When the vote was taken eight
ayes for adjournment and six
against it were heard. The opposi-
ton charged that two reporters
and an attorney voted to adjourn
and to settle the question the
council roll was called. The second
vote revealed that those for ad-
journment were in the minority.
The original six voted to continue
the meeting while five were for ad-
journment.

NEW HOUSING Law
GOES INTO EFFECT
The New Act on Indiana
Statute Books Extra Wide
in Its Scope.
(National News Association


INDIANAPOLIS, July 1-Indiana's
new housing" law, relating to the
construction, alteration and mainte-
nance of tenement houses, which was
passed by the recent general assem-
bly, at the instigation of Mrs. Albion
Fellows Bacon, of Evansville, and
other prominent women lobbyists, be-
came effective today.
AS described in the statute, tene-
ment house is any building or house
which is rented and occupied by two
or more families. This gives the mea-
sure an extra wide scope, ranging from
the meanest novels to the more pre-
tentious apartment houses
Some Striking Features.
Some of the striking features are:
Behind every tenement house here
after erected there shall be an open
yard extending across the entire width
of tht lot.
In case of interior lots, no yard shall
be less than twenty-five feet in depth,
unless such lot is less than 200 feet
in depth in which later event the
yard must comprise at least 25 per
cent of such depth.
The minimum width of courts for
a one-story or two-story building shall
be ten feet; for a three-story building,
twelve feet; for four-story building,
fourteen feet, and shall increase two
feet for each additional story. The
length of inner courts shalE-net be
less than twice the minimum width
Other regulation features include
extensions or offsets TO courts, rear
tenements. buildings on same lots
with tenement houses, lighting and
ventilation, windows in rooms, size of
rooms, alcoves and alcove rooms, eel
lar and basement rooms, drainage,
water supply, sewers, fire escapes and
sanitation. Another important pro-
vision prohibits the erection of any
wooden tenement house exceeding two
stories in height, or arranged to &C
commodate more than two families on
one floor.
Authority to enforce sanitary mea-
sures and prevent over-crowding of
tenements is vested in the board of
health, while the building inspection
department has power to enforce all
phases of the law, particularly those
bearing on design and construction
Penalties for violation of the new
statute are Imprisonment for each and
every day that a violation continues.

ENGINEER PLANS A
new CEMENT BRIDGE
Charles Proposes to Make I'M
provement in Glen
Miller Park.

A cement bridge to replace the
small wooden structure at the first
spring in Glen Miller park, has been
planned by City Engineer Fred
Charles. The proposed bridge will be
a great improvement over the old
structure, and will be much larger.
The designed bridge has a width
of fourteen feet, while the present
bridge is but six feet wide and has
no railing. During Chautauquas and
when there are crowds IN the park, it
has been common for one or more
persons to fall or be pushed off the
bridge, and to prevent similar acct
dents the new bridge will have a
three-foot open work railing. At each
of the four corners there will be con-
crete or iron lighting poles, eight feet
high. 1t is planned to place a cement
platform entirely around the spring.
The old bridge was constructed of
timbers from the old National road
bridge, which was replaced by the
present Main street bridge fifteen
years ago.

WANT THE FREIGHT
HANDLED QUICKLY
Commercial Club Committee
to Petition Pennsylvania
Officials.
DELAYS HURT TRADE

The Commercial club committee on
transportation decided last night to
file petition with the officers of the
Pennsylvania railroad asking improve
ment and greater dispatch in the
handling of freight. Cases are cited
by the members of the committee
showing that shipments of goods from
this city to points over the country
have been delayed from four to TWEEN
ty-four days. The facts concerning
these cases will be made in the form
of a report which will be filed with
the petition.
May Trade Elsewhere.
Local shippers say that these delays
are hurting business. If they can not
deliver goods in reasonable time, their
buyers will order from other cities
where freight service is faster.
Rate Increase Discussed.
The proposed increase in freight
rates was discussed, the committee
deciding that in view of the poor serv-
ice it could not approve the increase.

MORE MEN PUT ON
BY PENNSYLVANIA
Employees AT Freight Depot
Increased Today-3
Night Gangs.

The unusually large amount of both
outgoing and incoming freight over
the Pennsylvania lines has caused the
officials TO place more men on the
payroll AT the Richmond freight de-
pot than ever before. Men are being
hired and put TO work as fast as they
apply.
Sixty platform men are working.
and of these five were employed in the
last twenty-four hours. No cause
could be assigned by officials OF the
freight house for the extra amount of
freightage, and they say outgoing car
goes have increased proportionately
with incoming freight.
Three night gangs of workmen are
employed storing the incoming freight
and loading cars. The Office force is
also busy with documents transferring
the freight.

WOULD HAVE MORE
PARK ADJUSTMENTS
Fetzer Says He Will Ask
Works Board For a Ten
Year Lease.
HELP TO RICHMOND

Charles Fetzer stated today that
Glen Miller park expires next Septem-
Der, he Will ask the board of public
works to renew the contract for pc
riod of ten years.
Il want 10 put legitimate amuse-
merits in the park, but the expense
would be too heavy under such con-
tract as l have now-three years."
Fetzer stated.
Amusements proposed.
There has been considerable criti-
Cism. / know. because a merry-go-
round is to be placed in the park. but
ii will be offensive to no one. for il
is to be placed near the railroad tracks
in a part of the Glen that rarely used
in a part of the Glen that is rarely
used now. This l hope. will be an en-
tering wedge for more pretentious at
fractions. l will put up figure eight"
machine, a scenic railway and a shoot

Fetzer stated his belief that more
amusements in the Glen would be a
great financial bene fit to Richmond for
they could attract thousands of our of
town people TO the park.
Now that the railroads do not offer
excursion rates but few people from
out of town come to the Glen. If some
amusements are placed in the park
will guarantee that it will be visited
each week by at least 1000 people
from neighboring points and nine
tenths OF them will make a trip down
town before they leave the city," Fet-
ger said.
Season Is Short.
His season at the park each year
practically lasts only ten weeks so. he
says, he would nto consider making
the big investment in amusement de
vices unless he was guaranteed the
| park privileges for at least ten years

POSTAL AUTHORITIES
May Prosecute Young Will
liam Doefer.

William Doefer, II, who is being
held for the burglary of Quigley's
drug store last week, will probably
be prosecuted by the federal author
tiles for the theft of $1375 worth of
stamps, which he took from the sub
postal station at the drug store.
Inspector Swaine of this postal dis
trict, has been in the city for several
days investigating the theft of the
stamps. The local authorities want
the young thief prosecuted by the
government, but if a warrant for Doe
fer is not brought in by tomorrow
morning, he will be prosecuted for
burglary and larceny by the state.
Doefer is very cunning and makes
repeated attempts to escape from his
cell in the city Jail. He made good
his escape Saturday, but was captured
later by two firemen, who saw him
leave the patrol shed near the Jail.
Yesterday afternoon Doefer hid in
his cell and all efforts on the part
of the police to find him were un-
availing. 1t was thought that he had
escaped, but an investigation by Chief
of Police Gormon disclosed Doefer hid
ing in a small barred window near the
top of his cell. He had expected that
the jail door would not be locked or
that the keys would be left in the
lock
From one to eight years in the pen
itentiary is the fate in store for the
young man if he is prosecuted by the
state authorities His sentence might
be heavier if the federal authorities
take the case in hand.
He has spent most of his life in
penal institutions near Chicago, he
says.

OUTING WAS SUCCESS

Forty boys, tanned from two weeks
life in the open, arrived in the city
last night from the Y. M. c. A. Boys
camp near Covington, Ohio. The boys
under the leadership of boys secre-
tary, Pettijohn, have been in camp
since the seventeenth of June.
Defeated in Baseball.
Camp life consisted of fishing, hik-
Ing, swimming, sleeping and eating.
Two days were set aside for regular
competitive track and Aquatic events.
The winners in these contests were
presented with ribbons. The most
humiliating feature of the two weeks
was the result of the ball game be-
tween the camp boys and Covington
team. Fir nine innings the local boys
tried to overcome the lead of Coving-
ton but finally lost by the score of IA
to 7. The camp battery was, Sporting.

The fourth of July celebration was
held, as usual, on the last Saturday
night in camp.

The camp kitchen and dining room,
which are permanent equipment, were
screened. Roy Reynolds, presiding at
the army field range, supplied the food
for the hungry boys. The field range
was purchased for the camp by the
proceeds of the last minstrel, given
by the "Y" boys.
The adult leaders of the camp were
the Rev. T. c. McNary, the Rev. T. J.
Graham and Judge Boggs, who had
charge of the chapel exercises each
morning after breakfast. Physical Di-
rector Horton supervised the athletic
events.
Printed Camp Paper.
Warren Beck, as editor of the camp
paper prepared one issue which was
read round the camp fire. 1t contained
a brief account of<the proceedings, and
number of clever takeoffs on the
boys. Secretary Pettijohn is planning
to print Camp Echo to cover the
entire two weeks, and provide the
boys with something with which to
remember the outing.
