COMPLETE POSTAL:
DIRECTORY OF CITY
BY CARD RECORDS
NiewOehner and Foreman
End Task of Detailed Com.
pilations Which Required
Fifteen Months.

After fifteen months of careful work,
Lewis Niewoehner and Clarence w.
Foreman, directory clerks at the post
Office, have completed an accurate and
detailed card directory of every person
in Richmond who is receiving mail.
II there Is any question about the
destination of a piece of mail after it
reaches the city, it can be settled by
looking up the name in the directory.
By its use the postoffice keeps a re-
cord of all persons who have received
mail through the office. The directory
clerks can tell you in a moment wheth-
er John Jones" is dead or alive,
whether he still lives at the address
which the letter to him bears. II he
has moved either in or out of the city,
they can tell you when and where.
Twenty thousand white cards were
used in compiling this directory, which
occupies case about seven feet high
and five feet wide.
Includes the Babies.
No person who receives mail
through the office is too young or old
to get his name on card. The names
and addresses of babies only a few
days old, whose fond relatives have
showered them with post cards, are
y.
death, deceased" with the date is
where any mail addressed to the de-
ceased person is to be sent.
When man moves, his new address
is placed on the card, with the date
Of the change. Supplementing this is
another series of transfer cards filed
by the carriers, which bears the names
Of the carrier making and tho carrier
receiving the transfer. If a person
leaves the city without giving a for
warding address his name is removed
from the directory and his mail placed
at the general delivery window
Cards for persons visiting in the city
for a few weeks are removed as soon
as they leave and the carriers report
they were stopping here and did not
establish a permanent address. Many
transfers are made each month. Sep
tember, 1913, broke all records, there
being one thousand transfer cards,
which means that several thousand
persons served by the local Office have
changed their addresses, as most cards
carry the names of several members
of the family.
MiiIers Exceed Smith.
According to the cards, no person
whose name begins with x lives in
the city. The letter @ follows closely
with only fifteen or twenty cards De-
spite the expectation of the directory
clerks that there would be more Smith
cards than any other, they learned
there were 1856 Miller families to 1T
Smith families. The Ms occupy three
drawers in the case, while the IS oc-
cupy two.
This form of directory, which Is used
only in Logansport, Kokomo, Marion
and Richmond replaces the old city
directory in which corrections were
written between the lines.

INDUSTRIAL
CONDITIONS KEY OF
RUSSELL'S ADDRESS
Progressive Candidate for
Congress Lauds Beveridge
in Campaign Speech at
Rushville Carnival.

RUSHVILLE, Ind, July 25.-They
have been mixing politics with carni-
val attractions in Rushville this week.
Voters of this city have had the op-
portunity at the Catholic church carni-
val to hear three congressional candi-
dates, frst Ebert Russell, Progress
sive, then Finly Gray, Democrat, and
tonight P. J. Lynch, the Republican
nominee will speak
Prof. Russell made a splendid i'm
preston on his large audience and his
address had punch in every SEN
tence. When he declared that Indi-
ana, famous for her brilliant sons, did
not now have representative in con-
gress who played a leading part in
the affairs of the nation the applause
he received indicated that his auditors
were painfully aware OF their misrep-
resentat1on In the national lawmaking
body. Then he got another salvo OF
applause when he suggested that If
Albert ]. Beverage was elected to the
senate Indiana would once more be
put on the map. He also modestly
urged his own qualifications to repre-
sent the sixth district in the house of
representatives.
Better industrial conditions was the
keynote of his address. He said that
when he was q boy he had learned to
bind wheat. There was nothing to
keep him from doing what he pleased.
"But today the people OF this coun-
try can not always do what they
please. They are forced BY necessity
to take the job that offers itself,
$50 today when the men can't get
jobs, and when the children are driven
to work in their place, and when the
girls are tempted to lose their virtue,
then the government must step in and
control these conditions"
Our laborers, he said, are absolutely
dependent upon their employers.
Strict regulation of Industrial, condi-
tions, for the benefit of both employer
and employe, was what the Progress
sive party stood for, Prof Russell con-
cluded.

JUDGE IN CA|LLAUx
TRIAL CHALLENGES
ASSOCIATE TO DUEL
Insinuations Regarding Let
ter Decision Enrages AL
banel, Who Demands Satis-
, factiOn-Defendant Faints.

PARIS, July 25.-The climax of the
melodramatic thrills which have &C.
companied the trial of Madame Henri
ette Caillaux for the murder of Gas
ton Calmette, came today when Judge
Louis Albanel, president of the AS
sizes Court, challenged one of his as
sociates to a duel and the defendant
collapsed in court. Judge Albanel in
censed at the insinuations Of associate
Judge Louis Dogoury, that he had act
ed with partiality in deciding the is
sue of the private Caillaux letters,
sent seconds to Degoury demanding
an apology or else satisfaction on the
field Of honor.
Madame Cai4laux was wan and weak
when she was led into court for the
sixth days session of her trial. She
trembled visibly. Immediately after
that the famous and mysterious Gail
laux letters, about which a, long and
bitter fight ragged, should be read. In
making this ruling, however, Judge
Albanel established certain conditions
Maitre Fernand Labori announced this
condition which was that only part of
the correspondence which, was peril
nent should be read into the records.
Letters Show Passion.
Those parts which could. bring
bushes to the faces Of the spectators
will be omitted" said Labori. The read
ing of the letters was announced but
almost Immediately interrupted by
Madame Caillaux who fell from her
chair in a faint.
She was carried insensible to the
basement quarters of the palace of
justice where medical aid was given
her. Bigger crowds than ever before
attempted to storm the doors of the
palace of justice. The republican
guards had to fight vigorously to keep
them from swarming into the building.
Every ear was strained during the
reading of the letters. Even though
Mr.. Labori promised to omit the parts
which might cause a blush the portions
which were read were of the most in
innate character and couched in the
most passionate terms. When Madame
Caillaux tainted her husband was one
of the first to reacn her side. He lifted
her tenderly in his arms and kissed
her. Court was adjourned for half an
hour to give Madame Caillaux time to
recover.

HUTTON TO RETIRE
FROM BELL OFFICE
AFTER 80 YEARS
Telephone Pioneer Goes on
Company's Pension List
and Exchange Becomes a
Part of Home Equipment.

After witnessing the growth of the
telephone industry from its crude be-
ginning to its present state Of per-
lection, Noah H. Hutton. who for thirty
years has been general manager of
the local branch of the Bell Telephone
company. will retire September /.
Mr.. Hutton is not only pioneer Of
the telephone industry, but is also one
of the pioneers of Richmond, having
lived here his entire life, except during
his service in the civil war. He was
born in this city August 20. 1874. a
member of one of the Oldest families
which Is connected with the early in
dustries OF Richmond.
Coincident with the retirement Of
Mr.. Hutton comes the announcement
that the Central Union Telephone COM
pany, commonly called the Bell COM
pany, will abandon it's offices in the
Odd Fellows building at the corner Of
Eighth and Main streets. Arrange
ments have been made with the Home
Telephone company for space and otb~
er accommodations in the Richmond
Home Telephone company's building
on North Ninth street. New equipment
will be installed for this purpose, after
which all local and long distance busi-
ness of both companies will be ham
died at the Richmond Home Telephone
company's exchange.
Work Moro Efficient.
The Home Telephone company will
act as manager for the Bell company,
but the Bell business will continue to
be under the supervision of the execu-
tive officer of the Central Union Tele-
phone company. The result Of this
arrangement will be more economical
for both companies and more conve-
nient and efficient for the public. ac-
cording to the statement of Manager
Hutton today.
Mr.. Hutton is a member of the "Tel
ephonc Pioneers Of America" an or
ganization composed entirely Of men
early connected with the telephone in
dustry. His retirement is necessitated
by ruling of the Bell company to
retire its employees after thirty years
bf service.
When Mr.. Hutton entered the tele-
phone business it was in a state Of
experiment.. Only few improvements
had been made over the original in
Iention by Alexander Graham Bell, and

INDIANAPOLIS, July 25.-Swelter-
ing atmospheric conditions attacked
nearly all sections of Indiana today,
following temporary relief brought
about by electrical, wind and rain
storms which ragged in various parts
during the night.
But slight benefit to crops resulted,
however, as in most cases the rainfall
was of short duration.
Tippecanoe, Cass, Porter, Grant,

TO RECEIVE
$5,600 VEHICLE TAX
Chamness Estimates Sum
Due Wayne From Excess
of State Office.

Wayne county will benefit to the ex-
tent of approximately $500 from the
tax on automobiles and motorcycles.
which is paid annually to the secretary
of state. The exact number of motor
vehicles in Wayne county is not known
but it is estimated that at least $4,000
has been paid into the state treasury
by local owners.
This money, which is returned tn
the counties after all the expenses of
the secretary of states office is paid,
is turned back into the county treasur'
les to be used for good roads. The
last six months Of last year the office
expense of the secretary of state was
$4,000. A total of $11s,0OO has been
paid during those six months in taxes
The first installment this year
amounted to $477.00O, and If the office
expenses are the same this year as
last, it will leave $445,0OO to be dis.
tributed among the counties. 1t was
on this estimate, compared with last
years amount that County Treasurer
Chamness estimated the amount the
county probably will receive this year

CLUB To SUGGEST
COMPROMISE PLAN
FOR LIGHT POLES
improvements Committee Fa.
vOrs Rearranging Trolley
Uprights and Addition of
Ornamental Bases.

With practically all the business in
terests of the city demanding an orna-
mental post lighting system for the
retail district of Main street, on Fort
Wayne avenue and a section Of North
E street, and the board of public
works somewhat reluctant to comply
with such a demand because Of the
heavy expense of the necessary under
ground wiring and the increase in the
number of poles, a satisfactory COM
promise is now being discussed.
1t was learned today that when the
public improvement committee meets
with the mayor and board of public
works members next Monday night to
discuss the street lighting question,
the following proposal will be ad-
vanced.
Suggest Compromise.
The: the trolley poles on the streets
where the boulevard lighting system is
contemplated be re-arranged so as to
occupy certain places in each block,
probably three on each side o. q
square, one at the center and one on
each corner, and that these poles be
made attractive by placing around
their bases ornamental steel jackets.
This would give them the same ap-
pearance as the ornamental boulevard
lamp post. From the top of each post
lamp attached to a "goose-neck" Or
namental bracket would be suspended
The cost of dressing up the troll
ley poles, painting them and locating
them in uniform positions would not
be very great, it is believed. This
plan would also avoid a forest OF poles
on the streets in question and avoid
the very heavy expense of an under
ground wiring system.
There might be some people who
would oppose such plan," said Sec
retary Jordan, of the Commercial club,
today, "but believe a great many peo-
pie would accept it as satisfactory
compromise"
Bavis Fights Figures.
President Bavis of the board of pub
lie works again assumed the role of a
recluse today so that he could wrestle
with the lighting question undisturbed.
He is tabulating into comparative form
the data contained in the bids submit
ted to the board Thursday for street
lamps and his work is complex. He
expects to finish this task by Sunday
and at the meeting Monday night he
will present it for consideration.
He found time today to enter an OBJ
lection to the contemplated plan Of
employing an electrical expert to su-
pervise the installation of the new
lighting system.
There are skilled electricians in
Richmond who would assist the city
in this work. To employ some out of
town engineer would be useless ex-
penditure of money in my opinion"
said Mr.. Bavis. "Already one of the
city's best skilled electricians, Robert
Ashe, has volunteered his services to
the board to supervise the installation
Of the new lights without compensa-
tion.'

COMPLETE
FOR REDUCTION ON
CITY POWER RATES

With the request that they become
operative August l, "Or as soon there
after as possible the city's petition
for a reduction in electric power rates,
and reductions in the minimum charge
per horse power and "double-throw"
switch charge, was formally signed to-
day by the members of the board of
public works. The petition, drafted by
City Attorney Bond and approved by
the board Of public works last Thurs
day, will be filed with the Indiana Pub
lie Utilities Commission the first Of
next week.
II do not know what action my COM
pany will take in this matter" said
Superintendent Nimrod Johnson of the
Light, Heat & Power company, this af
ternoon. I'VE have not been consulted
by Mr.. Bond. He promised to give
me copy OF the petition when he
completed it, but so far l have not
received it. If l do receive 1t possibly
] will have some statement to make
after 1t has been considered"
In the petition the city asserts that
the rates proposed are sufficient to
provide for the proportional share of
Gxed charges of the municipal plant
and still leave fair and reasonable
profit.
The city proposes that "the charge
for 60-cycle alternating current used
for power, which shall include nothing
less than two horsepower in motors on
one connection, will be net yer k. W..
consumed each month through one
meter and for each connection, accord
ing to the following schedule"
First 25O X. w..........3 cents
Next 500 X. w..........2k cents
Next 1850 k. IN cents
Next 1000 X. w.........2 cents
Next 10000 k. ..1h cents
Over 25O0O k. .1A cents
The city also asks that an additional
charge Of ~ per cent. be made for di-
rect current.
The power rates petitioned for av-
erage about 10 per cent. reduction
over the rates established by the COM
mission for the two local plants last
winter.
The city asks tnat rule No. 6 of the
order governing the service of the two
local plants be amended to read as
follows: 1.-The minimum monthly
charge shall be 20 cents per connec-
tion horsepower for each power con-
nection used exclusively for elevator
service, and the minimum monthly
charge shall be 40 cents per connec-
tion horsepower for each power con-
nection used other than for elevator
service"
The present regulations provide q
minimum monthly charge of rs cents
per horse power. including power used
for elevator service.
The commission is asked to amend
rule No. to provide a minimum
monthly charge of 40 cents per k. w.,
transformer capacity, for each connec-
ton by double throw switch with a
competitive isolated plant, for both
lighting and power.
Rule No. z now provides a minimum
monthly charge of $3.50 per X. W. ca

throw switch with a competitive iso-
aated plant for both lighting and pow
