Members of COuncilmanic
Committee Meet Tonight
to Consider Provisions of
City Attorneys Bill.
A DRASTIC ORDINANCE
Mayor Says Council Must
Make Investigation As to
Whether Provision Can Be
Satisfactorily Enforced.

| Members of the ordinance commit
| tee of council will meet this evening
, with City Attorney Bond for the pur-
; pose OF considering the provisions of
the milk inspection ordinance he has
drafted, which will be completed in
| time for introduction to council the
third Monday of this month.
The milk inspection question prom
, Ises to be the most important legisla-
tion considered by council this year
and its ramifications are so numerous
that much time will be devoted by
council to its consideration. The ordi-
nance framed by Mr.. Bond is drastic
but fair, both to the dairymen and the
| public, he says.
Can Defeat Test.
When the milk ordinance is intro
duced | hope council will appoint a
committee to make thorough inves-
tigation of the questions involved be-
fore final action is TAKEN" said Mayor
Robbins today. 1T is my understand
! ing that one of the principal provis-
ions Of this ordinance is for the tuber-
culine testing of dairy herds which
supply milk for Richmond Council
should know whether such a provision
could be satisfactorily enforced.
have been told that dairymen can pur
chase commercial tuberculine serum,
inoculate their cows and thereby de-
feat any effort, on the part of the au-
thorities to make fair test of their
dairy cattle. A COW after being given
a test will not react for five or six
months, / have been informed. II
official tests of a dairy herd were
made after the owner had inoculated
his COWS 1T would be impossible for
the inspectors to determine whether
any of the herd was plague infected.
81 also understand that a number OF
the dairymen purchase milk from
farmers who do not engage in the
dairy business, SO it would appear
that if only tuberculine tested milk is
to be sold in Richmond our local au-
thorities would have to inspect every
herd in the county, which would be a
difficult task, and probably the city
would have no authority to take such
action"
Realizes Difficulties.
Mayor Robbins is a keen advocate
of clean. -tubercnitne tested milk for
Richmond. but he also realizes the
difficulties which must be overcome
to provide such a supply.
There are some members of coun-
Gil who do not regard very .favorably
the tuberculine test idea so the ordi-
nance now pending appears to have a
long and rough journey ahead of it.
Some of the city officials are of the
opinion that the only way to provide
tuberculine tested milk supplies for
Richmond and other Indiana towns
and cities is by state law.
Besides the tuberculine test pro-
vision there are many other important
features included in the pending milk
ordinance.
Mr.. Bond will also confer with the
public utilities commission this even
ing regarding an ordinance requiring
the street car company to have con-
ductors on all cars operating in Wes:
Richmond.

Congressman Gray Charges
Disappointed Post Office
Candidates for Hancock
County Fight Against Him.
SERVIS APPOINTMENT
CAUSES SMALL ROW
Representative Ignores At
tack of Editor Mitchell of
Hancock County Demo-
crat in Interview.

Dissatisfaction over the postoffic'
appointment at Greenfield was respon
sible for the comic opera revolt OF
the part of a few Hancock county del
egates at the recent Democratic con
gressional convention, according t.
Congressman Gray.
According to the Rushville Repub
lican, Connersville Examiner and New
Castle Times, the latter edited BY
Democratic District Chairman Cham
bers. the meddlesome Palladium wa:
to blame for a handful of Hancock
delegates croaking mo" when the
vote to nominate Mr.. Gray was taken
He is Mr.. Gray's view of the Han
cock county affair:
More than a year ago Mr.. Gray
recommended Willard S: Pugh for
postmaster at Greenfield. Mr..
Pugh was appointed and served
until shortly before the delegates
were to be chosen in Hancock
county to the convention which
lately met and acted. Then Mr..
Pugh was removed by death.
About eight candidates developed
in view of the nearing second ap-
pointment
Gray's Version.
According to Mr.. Gray, these can
didates got out and worked in or
der to have their friends and sup
porters named as delegates to the
Cambridge City Convention. This.
he said, was done with the aim of
preparing the candidates, or their
friends. the delegates. to talk
postoffice" to him when he visited
then to talk denomination" Be-
fore the convention met, however,
Mr.. Gray recommended William
A Servis to succeed Mr.. Pugh,
and he charges the disappointed
candidates and their friends with
endeavoring to kick up row.
Mr. Gray did not discuss the
charge made by Editor Mitchell,
of the Hancock County Democrat,
who declared that Gray was to-
tally unfit to represent the dis
trict in congress. Mitchell was
not candidate for the postoffice,
but as Mr.. Gray says that the
opposition was wholly the result Of
the postoffice wrangle. the infer
ence is that Mr.. Mitchell was
sore on that account.
Republicans Explanation.
The Rushville Republican, recog-
nized authority on Republican politics.
gives the following version of the
Democratic convention at Cambridge
City:
Various versions of the Demo
cratic convention at Cambridge
City are being given by those
who were on the battle ground.
Some Democrats, those opposed
to Gray, were and still are of the
belief that it was the logical time
for Lon Null, of Manila, to enter
the lists, but Gray's friends, who
are lead by his political apointees,
say that the so-called rebellion
was big fizzle, and that it was
started in the first place by the
Richmond Palladium, which is
constantly playing politics.
Friends Of Gray assert that the
Palladium had some method in
its apparent madness. They be-
lieve that the Palladium is trying
to stir up some dissention in the
Democratic party organization OF
the district.

Austin, Tex.-Reports of new dis

caused Governor o. B. Colquitt to order
the ranger force recruited with men
who can shoot"
Il have instructed Captain Hughes
to look for more men suited for the
ranger service. Ny instructions to
him are to get men who can shoot and
will shoot when necessary" said Gov

Captain Hughes commands the
ranger force, which has headquarters
at Raymondville, Cameron county, in
the extreme southeastern section Of
the State. Brownsville, opposite Mata-
mores, Mexico, is the county seat
Cameron county citizens asked the
Governor for protection. Several fill

part of the Texas border
Two kilograms formed the basis Of
the Governors action in ordering the
Ranger force increased. The first re-
ported the kidnapping of an Ameri-
can, Charles Ballard, by five Mexicans,
near Garlic Springs. The second was
the petition from Cameron county citi-
zens.
Ballard was tied by the Mexicans
and hustled to the border, according to
the report made to the Governor, but
while the party was crossing the Rio
Grande, he cut the rope which held
him and escaped by diving. Billiards.
captors shot at him without effect sew
eral times and then made good their
escape. Sheriff Gardner, of Dimmitt
county, went in pursuit with a posse,

for the men, but they were thought to
have escaped into Mexico.

THE BULGARIAN
QUEEN COMING
Ele0nora's visittO United States
Set for May.
WILL HAVE A LARGE PARTY
She Will Be the First Reioninq
Sovereign Ever To Come To This
Country-Likely To Embark
On the lmperator.

Soia.-It has been definitely decided
that Queen Eleonora of Bulgaria, ac-
companied by an extensive suite, will
visit the United States next May. The
trip will probably be begun about the
middle of May and it will last six or
eight weeks. Details of the length of
the stay of the Queen and her en-
tourage in America and the itinerary
of the trip are now being worked out
During her stay in the United States
the Queen hopes to deliver a series of
lectures in the principal cities with the
object of placing before the American
public the real position of Bulgaria re-
garding the late war She will also
make an appeal for help in behalf of
the thousands of refugees now starv-
ing in Bulgaria. A representative Of
the Queen will leave for New York
within the next few days to arrange
details.
The visit is the result of the deep in
terest in the United States which King
Ferdinand and Queen Eleonora have
long held and which has been strength
ened by the close association of the
King and Queen with the American
surgeons who were in charge of the
Bulgarian hospitals during the recent
war.
1t was at first reported that King
Ferdinand himself proposed to visit
the United States in 1915, but the
Queens intense desire to make the
trip, coupled with the fact that her
visit will relieve the United States Of
the diplomatic embarrassment of a
state visit from an actual reigning
monarch, resulted in her wish being
granted.
1t is probable that Queen Fleonora
will proceed from Sofia to Hamburg as
German princess. There she will
embark, if her arrangements will fit in,
on the steamship Imperator. The suite
of Queen Eleonora will include, in ad-
dition to some diplomatists, aides-de-
camp from the smartest guard regi-
ments and ladies in waiting, who will
wear their picturesque native CO.'S
tunes.
Queen Eleonora will be the first
reigning sovereign of Europe to visit
the United States.

His Bill Placing Limitations o.

State House.-A bill, fathered by
Mr. VeaseyN of Worcester county, and
designed to place limitations on voting
in primary elections, was defeated in
the House. The bill provided that no
voter should be permitted to cast a
ballot in a primary election until he
shall have satisfied the judges that he
voted a straight party ticket at the
last preceding general election, a
straight Republican ticket to entitle
him to vote at the Republican primary
and q straight Democratic ticket to
give him a standing in Democratic
primary, and the House had a sus-
picion that the bill was designed to
draw the lines between the regular
Democrats and the Independent Demo
Gratis who at the last election in Wor-
cester county separated on candidates
for the State Senate, the regular Dem
ocrats supporting Mr.. Harrison, while
the Independents joined the Republi-
cans, Progressives and Prohibitionist
in supporting Mr. Ashburn for til
