REMOVING SHOTGUN
House-Warming Party Ends
Disastrously For
Frank Burns.
(National News association

INDIANAPOLIS, March 18.-A
house-warming party at the home of
Frank Burns in East Vermont street,
at which dancing and sixteen gallons
of beer played a prominent part ended
disastrously early today when a shot
gun, which Burns was removing from
a closet in the kitchen, was discharg-
ed and he was instantly killed, half of
his head being blown of. Burns and
his wife had a slight quarrel after the
guests had departed and there was
some talk to the effect that he had
committed suicide. The wound and the
position of the body. however, indi-
Gated that death was accidental.

City Council Acts Favorably
Upon Recommendation of
Its Committee on Police
Flashlights and Phones.
MAINTENANCE COST
NOT TO EXCEED $3.50
Won Pein Discusses Mini

Water Contract - King

At the meeting of the city council
the telephone and light system sug
gested for the police department by
Chief of Police Gormon, will be in
stalled was unanim ously passed and
sent to the board of works. After pass
ing on it, the board of works will re-
turn it to council and an ordinance
will be introduced providing an appro
priation for the expense of renting the
instruments and paying for the cleo
tricity used by the lights. Work of in
stallation will probably begin within
a month.
The committee reported to council
that the proposition offered the city
by the Richmond Home Telephone
company had been carefully gone over
in detail and was found satisfactory
The system is not only practical, the
committee reported, but its installation
will save the city the expense of two
patrolmen.
The members of the council believe
the cost very small in comparison with
the efficiency which the system prom
ises towards establishing proper. po
lice regulations. The committee, in
the report, stated that the annual ex
pense of the system to the police de
partment would not exceed $3.50.
Twenty-Five Lights.
The committee also presented a map
of the city with the proposed locations
of the twenty new lights and tele
phones marked as suggested by the
chief of police. With the lights at
Eighth and Fifth streets on Main
there will be twenty-five flash lights
in the city, all being controlled at po.
lice headquarters. The larger beats
and outlying districts are furnished
with more lights than the business dis
tricts.
The system was heartily endorsed
by every member of the council and
all city officials. Members of the board
of works are very much in favor of its
installation and will recommend thai
an appropriation be made at the next
council meeting.
Councilman Won Pein attacked the
minimum rate offered by the Rich
mond City Water Works in the bic
which the city will soon act upon. Vor
Pein stated that the defense of E. NJ
Campfield and Howard Dill on the
minimum rate was very weak as they
had attacked the city light plant fol
charging minimum rate of SO cents
per month for electricity and complain
ing about As cent minimum rate fol

Won Pein does not believe that any
comparison can be shown between the
city light plant and the water works

Will Advise Council TO Pass
Ordinance Establishing a
Lower Rate Upon Artificial
Gas Here.
PLANS A CONTRACT
WITH WATER WORKS
Says If Either Corporation
Objects TO Councils Action
1t Must Appeal to State
Commission.

City Attorney VIM. A. Bond
announced today that he will
make two important recommen-
dations to council at its next
meeting.
In one he will advise council
that under provisions of the new
public utilities commission law
and under court decisions in 9TH
er states which have similar laws
it will be in the power of council
10 reduce the existing exhorbi-
tant rate on artificial gas (S1.10
with ten per cent. off under cer-
tain conditions). to a figure that
council believes fair to the Light,
Heat & Power company and to
the consumers.
His other recommendation to
council will be to prepare a con.
tract ordinance for the Rich
mond City Water Works COM
pany, Incorporating the rates
and provisions desired by the
city, and to pass it without fur
ther negotiations with the water
works company.
If both recommendations are
favorably acted upon by council,
Mr.. Bond states, the city will
have everything to gain and
nothing to lose, for in both in
stances the city will be acting
under the provisions of the util-
tiles commission act and it will
be up to the corporations affect
ed to prove to the public service
commission that they have been
dealt with unfairly. If the COM
mission sustains the action of
council, the corporations must
either abide by the rulings or ap-
peal to the courts.
Bond Ready For Fight.
| "If council will back me up in the
two propositions intend to submit TO
that body will foght both through 10
the finish. The city would have moth
ing to lose by such procedure and IL
We carried our point IL wonld be of
general public benefit MI. Bond
stated.
Mr.. Bond has Just completed a
thorough investigation OF the new pub
lie utilities commission law and the
decisions made upon similar laws and
he finds that the city council has un-
lquestion rights TO establish rates on
commodities of public service corpora
ltion. which rights city councils share
with the public service commission
He also 6nds that no rate for artificial
gas is specified in the contract which
the Light, Heat and Power company
Ioperates under. so he thinks council
should not delay taking advantage of
right delegated to IL by the legisla-
lture at its last session and provide a
rate on artificial gas. Mr. Bond thinks
that 20 cents would be fair rate for
this commodity.
In the case of the water works COM
pany Mr. Bond points out that that
corporation is now operating without
a contract so he sees no reason why
council, acting under the utilities Law
again. should not draw up contract
for that company and then let the
public service commission, and the
courts IL necessary, determine whether
the rates provided in the contract are
/ fair or unfair. IL the rates provision
, in the contract is rejected by the COM
, mission that body would then take
charge Of that feature Of the proposi-
| ton.

.SEOGW|CK MAY EAT
ALL ROTTEN EGGS
Bureau of Chemistry Off.
Gals Ridicule Pro-
fessor's Idea.
(National News Association

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-In
answer to the statement of Prof. Sedg
wick of the Massachusetts institute OF
Technology that rotten eggs are At
food, officials of the bureau of chemis
try department of agriculture, merely
laughed today and said, We refuse
to advise the American public to use
rotten eggs as breakfast food" They
will be contented to allow Prof
Sedgwick to eat all the visible supply
himself.
Contrary to Sedgwick's views a rot
ten egg does contain harmful sub
stances, according to Chief Clerk
Smith, which will have a dcleterious
affect on the human system if the
practice of eating defunct eggs is con
tinued for any length of time.

HOW ADVERTISING
REDUCES YOUR
COST OF LIVING
BY JOHN p. EALlON.

Advertising is the means by
which merchants or manufac-
turers may tell great number
of people about the superior
quality of their goods, the desir-
ability of their merchandise and
the reason it will be to your ad-
vantage to patroniZe them.
Advertising enables the mer-
chants to bring hundreds and
thousands of customers to their
stores. 1t enables them to do
large volume of business at min
imum expense.
Advertising establishes the
confidence of the community,
makes new friends, keeps old
customers interested and brings
the news of the store right into
the customers home.
The merchant who advertiseS
continuously appeals to all the
people in town, while the mer-
chant who does not advertise
sits within his door and waits
for the people to find him out or
accidentally drop in as they are
passing by.
Advertising is such a powerful
selling force and business build
er that merchants who use it are
enabled to sell better goods at
the lowest prices. Read the ad-
vertisements in THE PALLAD-
IUM closely and constantly ev-
cry day for proof.
