Who FIRED
SHOT IS NOT FOUND
The Shooting at Hagerstown
Resident Remains a
Mystery.
palladium Specially

HAGERSTOWN, Ind, June 10.-No
clues have been unearthed by the au-
thorities which might lead to the ap-
prehension of the person who fired the
shot through the plate glass door of
the home of Arch Hindman Saturday
night
1t is believed by Mr. Hindman that
the shot was fired accidentally by some
careless person, who fed rather than
give an explanation of the shooting.
The bullet dropped at the feet of Ben
jamin Hindman, having spent its force
in penetrating the thick plate glass 1t
is a 32-calibre bullet and is believed
to have been discharged from a re-
volver.
The clue furnished by Daniel Holi-
day that buggy drove past the house
at a rapid gait, was followed up by
the town marshal. though no one else
could be found who had seen the
rig Mr. Holiday lives a short dis
tance from the Hindman home. and
was retiring at the time the shot was
fired. He did not see the person who
fred the shot, nor could he furnish
description of the vehicle. The au-
thorities have not been able to learn
of any personal enemies of Mr.. Hind
mand who would have attempted to
take his life. The consensus of opin-
ion is that the shot was fired by
drunk revelers. Some residents be-
lieye the shot was fired by the same
parties who attempted to shoot Dr.
C. l. Stotelmeyer several months ago.
The bullet was of the same calibre.

MCCULLOUGH IS IN
FAVOR or SUbWAYS
Superintendent Says Under
grade Crossing is More
Feasible.
MAY GET EXTENSION
Of Street Car Lines in Case
Viaduct or Subway is
Constructed.
MAY GET EXTENSION

J. c. Mccullough, superintendent of
the Richmond division of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, stated this morning.
when interviewed about the proposed
viaduct over the railroad tracks at
Tenth and e streets, that he favored a
subway. At this time he is not in a
position to state what terms the city
and the railroad company would be
able to make in the construction OF a
subway or a viaduct, he says.
81 do not think that a yiaduct would
be practicable in this vicinity" said
Mr.. Mccullough this morning. "A sub
way would be more feasible and the
railroad company has already made
plans for subways under the tracks
at the Twelfth and Fifteenth street
crossings. The plans for the subway.
however, did not materialize and for
some reason they were dropped"
Plans Made Before.
Mr.. Mccullough stated that the rail-
road company has abolished grade
crossings wherever possible. II is US
ual in such a case. he said. for the city
and the railroad company to have the
work done.
In 1910 City Engineer Charles and
several railroad engineers made plans
for subways under grade crossings
but this matter was dropped. In 1898.
when John F. Miller was superintend-
ent of the Richmond division of the
he presented to council a plan
to raise the railroad tracks on an en-
constructing concrete
bridges over the streets. This would
have entirely eliminated grade cross
ings and would have cost the city only
$40, 900 in bonds but Mayor Ostrander
defeated the plan by voting against
it when the vote by council was a tie.
The plan proposed yesterday at the
meeting of the board of works was to
construct a viaduct from Elm Place
across the tracks to Tenth and North
F streets, thus opening another route
from the north part of Richmond.
May Secure Extension.
Alexander Gordon, superintendent of
the local street car company. stated
that If the street car line were con-
into Riverdale or to the Haw-
kins lake, it would be necessary to
find some means of crossing the rail-
road tracks other than that now af-
forded. He stated that no line is be-
ing seriously considered at present,
but that If some means of crossing the
could be secured, the chances
of securing a north line to the hos
pital would be greatly improved.

SELECT ROBBINS
AS THE MA YORALTY CANDIDA TIE
IN THE COMING CITY CAMPAIGN
Out
in
of Enthusiasm the Progresives
Unsuccessful Candidates Ac-
cept Defeat Gracefully and
Pledge Support to Ticket

| Will J. Robbins was selected
by the Progressive voters of
Richmond at the primary nomi-
mating election yesterday to
head their municipal ticket as
the candidate for mayor. Rob-
bins plurality over his closest
competitor, Alfred Bavis, was
200 and he lacked only twenty
votes of equaling the total num-
Der of votes cast for Bavis, Nc
Mahan and Beall.
Bescher was nominated for clerk in
a spirited contest with Harry Hodgin
and George Mckinley, his plurality
over the former being "A and his plu-
rality over Mckinley being 1913.
Carl T. Sherer was nominated as
councilman from the third ward over
Edgar Norris by a vote of 81 to So.
There were no other contests for the
nominations for councilmen and coun-
cilmen-at-large.
60 Per Cent Vote.
The polls were visited by over 1,400
Progressives, which is about sixty per
cent Of the strength of the party in
Richmond, based on the vote cast at
the general elections last November.
This showing is more than satisfac-
tory to the members of the Progress
sive city committee, who did not ex-
pect more than 1900 votes would be
polled owing to the remarkably quiet
campaign and because this is an 'off
year" in politics.
Republican and Democratic leaders,
who had been predicting that not more
than 800 or 900 ballots would be cast
in the Progressive primary, were
greatly disappointed over the good
showing of the new party and reluc-
family admitted that it must still be re-

Wharton DeclaroSR. L. H. &
P. Company Will Give
Natural Gas Company
Competition in Rates.
BOND HAS RECEIVED
NO FRANCHISE DRAFT
Rumored That the Union
Natural Gas Corporation is
Ruled by the Standard Oil
Interests.

Cheaper artificial gas, that is
now being furnished by the Rich
mond Light, Heat & Power COM
pany at $1.1O a thousand cubic
feet with 10 per cent discount,
may result from the action of
the Union Natural Gas Corpora
tion of Pennsylvania, in asking
for a franchise in Richmond to
serve the city with natural gas
at 40 cents a thousand cubic
feet.
Manager J. B. Wharton of the r. l..
II. & p. Co, stated today that his COM
pany had been negotiating with an
eastern company for supply Of natur-
al gas for this territory, but he believ-
ed since the Union Natural Gas Cor
poration has applied for a franchise,
his company has not been able to nego-
tiate a contract for natural gas on a
satisfactory basis.
Mr.. Wharton said that he had been
in correspondence with the officers of
his company, who are in New York, re-
garding the question but that the ad-
vices he has received were not opti-
mistic.
Rate Competition Assured.
When asked what his company
would do if the franchise was granted
to the Union Natural Gas Corporation,
fight for the business and that they
would continue in the field with the ar
tificial gas and give the new company
all the competition possible. When
asked the question as to whether or
not his statement meant that the price
of artificial gas would be reduced in
Richmond, he said Yes it will mean,
in my opinion, that there will be a
small reduction in the price of artifi-
cial gas. However, we are still negotia-
ting for supply of natural gas and
therefore l am not ready to state what
our future policy will be-
Standard OIL Interested.
1t is rumored that the Union Natur-
al Gas Corporation is ruled by the
Standard Oil Interests
Mr.. Wharton stated that so far as he
knew there was no connection what
ever between his company and the
Standard Oil Company nor between
his company and the Union Natural
Gas Corporation.
City Attorney VIM. A. Bond today
stated that he has not yet received any
draft Of franchise from the U. N G.
Corporation, but he expected it before
Thursday of this wesS at which time
the company has prSSM.d to present

Richmond Shop Has Instruc-
tions to Fill Its Engine
Schedule.
TO OPERATE TILL FALL
When it May Become Repair
Shop-Future Depends on
Sales Force.

The M. Rumely Company has decid
ed not to close down the Gaar-Scott
plant of this city, course which
seemed probable after the reorganiza.
tion of the Rumely company with c.
G. Funk, formerly of the international
Harvester company, as president. In
stead the plant will be kept running
until fall when it may become a re-
pair shop, employing between fifty
and a hundred men.
When c. G.. Funk became head of
the Rumely company, it was decided
to close either the Gaar-Scott plant or
the factory at Saltwater, Mimi An
overstock in all the branches made
this step necessary as the sales force
was not keeping pace with the produc-
ton.
Saltwater Plant Closed.
Recently the Saltwater shop shut
down, and with its closing came in
structions for the local plant to fill
its engine schedule All the other ma
chinery called for in the years sched-
ule had been made.
When the required number of en-
gines has been constructed the Gaar-
Scott branch will be converted into a
repair shop. unless a great many ord
ers are placed by the selling force.
The manufacture of these engines will
keep the plant running as at present
with force of $50 men, until Septem-
ber /.
Depends on Sales Force.
How long it will be, then, before the
factory again begins the production of
stock is not known. That will depend
largely on the condition of the market
and the efforts of the sales force 1t
may be only six months or it may be
a year or more.
