'AGE ONE=BOARD OF WORKS
Pres Morris Of the board OF public
works has written the following letter
o the Indiana & Michigan Electric Co.
elative 10 the proposed heating
Of the company:
one between you and the three con-
South Bend Indiana.
Gentlemen
Relative 10 your proposed con-
tract for heating certain buildings
and using the street for the pur-
pose of laying the necessary pipes,
will say that the board has con-
sidered the matter and arrived at
the following conclusions:
1st That a trial period Of ten
years should be sufficient to fully
test the practicability OF your pro-
posed heating system. Fifty years,
as you suggest, is entirely too long
to make a test period.
I'd. Your proposition is a private
The city as a whole derives no
Germs which you expect to serve.
The city as whole derices no
financial benefit from your propO-
sition as you propose it. We there
fore will ask as rental two and one
half per cent (212 GO of the gross
receipts TO your company for the
first five years and FIVE per cent
C5IcD for the second five. Upon in
vestigatiOn we find this is a fair
average of what other cities are re-
ceiving for rental for similar propO-
sitiOns. The rest OF the contract is
acceptable with few minor
changes.

Finds More Evidence Against
Mrs. Carman; to Ask New Indictment
BULLETIN.


NEW YORK, July 17-Mrs. Flor
ence Carman was arraigned in the
Nassau county supreme court at
Minela this afternoon and pleaded
not guilty 10 an Indictment charging
manslaughter in the first degree.
Justice Van Siclen fixed bail at
100000, and Atty. George NJ. Levy,
would be furnished at once.
NEW YORK, July 17.-Dist. Atty
Smith of Nassau county today an
nounced the discovery of new evil
dence against Florence Carman. who
is accused of shooting to death Mrs.
Louise Bailey in the office of DR.. Ed
win Carman at FreepOrt. He declared
that this evidence strengthened the
case against Mrs. Carman, and that
he might ask the next Nassau grand
jury to bring in an indictment charg-
ing murder in the first degree.
IF the new clews turn out as good
as they promise now. shall certainly
ask that a superseding Indictment be
returned" D." said the attorney. He
made this statement after receiving a
report Of four Burns detectives who
have been working on the case.
Mrs. Carman Is Calm.
While Mrs Carman calmly awaited
in the MineOla Jail today for a sum-
mons to court for arraignment on an
indictment charging her with man
slaughter in the first degree in con-
nection with the assassination of Mrs.
Louise Bailey in the office of DR. Ed
win Carman at FreepOrt, word was
taken TO her that her friends were
ready to offer bail in the sum of
$50 to secure her liberty.
The prisoner showed no sign of
emotion when her attorney, George
NJ Levy. carried her the report that
the Nassau county grand jury had in
dicted late yesterday and would hand
up the true bill to Justice Van Siclen.
1T is no more than I expected"
she said. THE public clamored for
a victim and a victim was found.
am grateful to my friends for their
confidence in my innocence
The latent sympathy felt for Mrs.
Carman by her friends burst into full
flame today with the inauguration of
a movement to compel Dist Atty.
Smith to seek a superseding indict-
ment against the prisoner before per
mitting her to be placed on trial.
Penalty Is 20 Years.
Inc penalty HAed DN law AoI man
slaughter in the first degree is 20
years imprisonment. but the general
opinion among those who have been
following the case is that the state
will be unable to secure a more severe
verdict than manslaughteT in the sec
Ond degree. for which the penalty is
imprisonment for any term up to fif-
teen years. or a fine of $1,000, or both.
DR. Carnan declared today that he
was confident his wife would be ac-
quilted.
IT was common talk around the
court house at MineOla that if an
indictment charging murder in the
first degree had been found by the
grand jury the defense would have
been based upon the unwritten law.
I'm view of the fact that jurors de
cided TO charge a lesser crime. the
"unwritten law may not be invoked.

PURE RICH BLOOD
May Be Had by Taking Old Reliable
Hoods Sarsaparilla.

Pure blood enables the stomach,
liver and other digestive organs to
do their work properly. Without it
they are sluggish, there is loss Of
appetite, sometimes faintness, de-
ranged state Of the intestines, and,
in general, all the symptoms of dys-
pepsia.
Pure blood is required by every
organ of the body for the proper
performance Of its functions.
Hoods Sarsaparilla surely
makes pure blood, and this is why
it IS so very success ful in the treat
ment of so many diseases ard all
ments. 1t acts directly on the
blood, ridding it Of scrofulous and
other humors.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is a peculiar
combination Of blood-purifying,
nerve-toning, strengthening sub
stances. There is no "just as goodn
medicine. Get Hoods today and
begin taking it at once.
