REMONSTRANCEM MADE

Temperance People Working
Hard at Decatur-Filed
Contest.
National News Association

DECATUR, Ind, April 5.-Temper-
ance workers today filed a remon-
STRANGE with sufficient names to make
the Second Ward of Decatur dry. This
puts out of business all the liquor dis
pensiaries in the city excepting two
wholesale houses, as all saloons are
located in the Second ward. The
licenses for the saloons expire Satur-
day evening and the county commits
sioners will not meet until next week,
SO the city will be dry at least for a
few days. The temperance workers
have already aled a contest of the
local option election, held few weeks
ago, when the city went wet" by a
majority of 80. Efforts are now being
made to "dry" the Third ward by re-

ASK DIRECT LINE
FROM NEW PARIS
Commercial Club Committee
Takes Matter up With
Supt. Jefferis.
NOT ENOUGH CURRENT
However, the Officials Are to
Confer With 0. & E.
Company.

Supt. Jefferis of the T H. I. G. E..
traction company was in this city to-
day to confer with the Commercial
club railroad committee relative to
having direct connections between
Richmond and New Paris established.
After taking up the proposition with
the local officials of the company and
investigating the proposed change, Mr..
Jefferis informed the Commercial
club that it would be impossible to fur
nish sufficient current to pull the cars
up the New Paris hill between that
place and Westville. The officials
promised to take the matter up with
the Ohio Electric company and il suf-
f1cient current can be secured from
that company the desired change will
be made.
Secretary Jordan of the Commercial
club talked with President Robert l.
Todd yesterday afternoon over the
long distance telephone and asked Mr..
Todd to have a line between the two
places in operation. Heretofore it has
been necessary to change cars at
Westville which has often inconven-
fenced passengers because of the de-
lay and poor connections made be-
tween the two cars.
There are at present no traction
cars in or out of the city though the
company expected to have the lines
in operation today or Monday. The
lines east are in better condition than
those west where the greater part of
the damage was done.
The proposition of establishing a
street car line to the Reid Memorial
hospital and in the southeastern part
of the city was not taken up today.
The matter is being considered by the
officials of the company who are most
favorable toward the proposed south
ern route The northern route will
not be considered until the North

WASHINGTON. April 5.-Presidentl
Wilson will permit of no compromised
on the tariff on sugar Either the rate
of s1.20 per hundred and free sugar
at the end of three years will be adopt
ed or sugar will be placed on the free
list Immediately The president made
this clear TO his visitors today. and
lest there be a misunderstanding Sec
retary Tumulty further explained the
presidents position.
President Wilson takes the stand
that free sugar has been one of the
leading pledges of the Democratic
party for twenty years and he thinks
IL is time to redeem that pledge. For
two weeks he has been bombarded by
protests and arguments from Lou
isiana, Hawaii. the Philippines and
other sections OF the country which
produce large quantities of sugar. but
he intends to stand pat and force
through congress by intimidation IL
necessary. The future of the Demo
cratic party Is in the hands of the ma
jority, the president thinks, and he
will see to IL personally that this fu-
ture be not endangered by a broken
pledge at this time, therefore he will
veto any tariff bill that does not fulfill
the party's promises and will continue
to fight until he gets what he wants.
