COUNCIL WARS
ON COMP PAN|ES
RUNNING ROADS
City Officials Demand That
Bond Advise on Steps to
Insure Proper Repair of
Streets.

Council last night went on the war
path after the public service corpora
tions, which have been tearing up
the streets in every section of the city
and then leaving them in such a con-
dition that stranger within the gates
would naturally suppose one of the
European armies had enjoyed a frOlic
here.
Every councilman fired a verbal vol
ley into the public service corporations
which, the mayor said, are "apparent-
ly without any sense of civic pride or
honor The mayor was influenced to
make this remark when referring to
some of the more venerable and time
honored holes in the streets, relics Of
past ages, which the public service cor
porations responsible for them now
refuse to repair. because they were
not required to patch them up within
one year after they had mutilated the
streets in which these crevaces yawn.
The more council discussed the van
dalistic acts of the corporations the
sorer it got, and the climax was finally
reached when Councilman Howells
arose and declared it was time the city
was showing the mailed fist to the
street butchers.
ASK Bonds Advice.
There are any number of holes in
the streets which have existed for
several months, and the time limit of
one year in which the corporations can
be compelled to repair such holes will
soon be up Howells said. Now l
would like to see the city, without any
further monkey business, bring suit to
forfeit the franchises of these corpor-
ations. Maybe then we can get some
action"
Il favor Mr. Howells' suggestion"
exclaimed Councilman Russell. This
question of the ruination of our streets
on which we have to spend so much
money to keep in repair, is the big
gest one council has been called upon
to consider We give these corpora
tions free use of our streets. In most
cities they are glad to pay the city
for franchise rights, but here in Rich
mond, in return for our liberality to
them, we are required constantly to
fight and quarrel with them to have
them keep in satisfactory repair the
streets they have free use of.
would like to see this matter pushed
to some practical conclusion"
Councilman Carter expressed the
opinion that the company now repair
ing streets it has recently torn up has
lot of careless laborers in it's en-
ploy, and as a result the Main street
repair work is all that is being done
properly.
Councilman Burdsall moved that the
city attorney report at next council
meeting what course the city should
pursue to bring the street wrecking
corporations to time. 1t was unanim.
ously adopted.

Leaves Democratic Party
Without Candidate for
Judge to Which Place He
Was Once Appointed.

The death of Thomas jefferson
Study occurred yesterday afternoon.
After rallying from the effects of a
paralytic stroke, the oldest lawyer in
eastern Indiana in point of service,
Thomas Jefferson Study, died at 5
O'Clock yesterday afternoon at his
home in the presence of his wife and
two children.
His death closes a strenuous life
confined entirely to the law business
and politics. Mr.. Study's death had
days but before that time and since
his paraletic stroke two weeks ago,
every hope was expressed that he
would recover and make the race for
circuit judge on the Democratic ticket.
Mr.. Study has been an admitted at
tOrney since he attained his majority
fifty-two years ago. having studied for
the profession while he was still a
small boy. He entered almost immed-
lately into politics and was an ardent
Republican for few years when he
suddenly left the party and became
a Democrat. At the time, his oldest
colleagues say, he was said to be the
only Democrat in Wayne county which
was then Republican almost to vote.
Had Poor Health.
Mr. Study was born on the farm of
his father, Henry Study, February 8,
1S41. At that time his father was one
of the largest property owners in the
county. His health was poor during
his early boyhood and for a time it
was feared that he was afflicted with
a fatal disease. He received treatment
At Cincinnati from DR.. Blackburn, at
that time one Of the nations most ia
nous physicians. and within a few
months enjoyed robust health, which
he retained until almost year ago.
About the age of twenty he began
to study law in Centerville, then the
seat of county government, first being
in the office of the late Judge Perry
and later in the office of the late MIN
rod Johnson, father of Henry U. John
son of this city. In 1862, at the age of
81 years, he was admitted to the
Franklin county bar and began the

FRIENDS CONDEMN WAR
AS BLOW TO CIVILIZATION

"This is time such as the world
has never seen. There have been
great wars. But never before have
great nations-and these protesting
Christian nations-engaged in the
wanton slaughter one of another" said
Luke Woodard, veteran minister of
the Society of Friends at the formal
opening of the 93rd session Of Indiana
Yearly Meeting In the East Main
Street Friends meeting house this
morning at 10 o'clock.
That the present European war is
deplored as un-Christian and con-
demned as a blow to civilized institu-
tions was the sentiment Of the body
this morning at the time of the COM
ment ON the London Epistle which
was read at this session instead of
later as has been usual.
