WIRES IN CONDU|TS
OR LINE EXTENSION
ED|CT TO TRACTION.
Works Board Gives T. H., /,
& E. One More Chance to
Explain Delay on South
Eighth Street.

Unless some action is taken toward
constructing the South Eighth street
extension, the Traction company may
be forced to put it's Main street feed
wires underground.
resolution was adopted by the
board Of public works today to the
effect that continued delay on the
part Of the Terre Haute, Indianapolis
& Eastern Traction company in begin
ming work on the extension of the
South Eighth street car line into Beall-
view will be regarded by the board as
breach of faith on the part of the
Traction company.
Several days ago City Clerk Bescher
at the request of the city council
wrote to Superintendent Jeffries Of the
Traction company asking the reason
for the delay in extending the car line.
but no reply has been received. Today
the board ordered the clerk to write
another letter. couched in more vigor-
GUS terms and announcing that if the
company did not make prompt state
ment on this matter the board would
accept it's silence as an intention on
the part of the company to break its
promise to provide the improvement
this year.
Breaks Its Promise.
Last spring when the city consented
to have the Main street hill paved on
its existing grade SO the railroad
bridge would not have to be raised,
the Traction company agreed to ex
tend car lines into Morton park and
Beallview, providing the company
would be put to no further expense
this wear. Since that time no addition
al expense has been assessed against
the company by the city, but the COM
pany has failed to carry out it's end
of the agreement, for it has only pro-
vided the Morton park line.
Council and the board of public
works are both in favor of a reprisal
against the company in the form of an
ordinance requiring it Immediately to
place it's Main street feed wires in con-
duits, in the event the company does
not give immediate assurance of it's
intention to construct the Beallview
line.

DEMOCRAT LEADERS
CONFER ON OUTLOOK

George Bittler, Democratic candi-
date for state treasurer, Dale Critten-
berger, candidate for state auditor,
Homer L. Cook. candidate for secre-
tary of state, and Walter Chambers,
Democratic district chairman, when
they arrive in Richmond late this
afternoon will confer with Democratic
party leaders as to political conditions
In this county.
From a Democratic standpoint con-
ditions in Wayne are far from salts
factory. There is considerable dis
satisfaction against Taggart machine
methods and Mr.. Cook will undoubted-
ly>hs informed that his candidacy is
far lom being popular with many
Democrats. He will also be informed
that his most bitter opponent in the
last legislature, Earl Crawford, who a
few months ago deserted the Demo-
cratic party and went over to the Pro-
gressives, has taken to the warpath
after his scalp in Wayne, Fayette and
Union counties and is creating all
kinds Of havoc.
The candidacy of Finly II. Gray for
reelection as congressman, has also
suffered severe relapse during the
last few weeks and it is known that
Democratic leaders have been bonn
harding him with advice to get into
Wayne county and get busy as soon as
possible. There is nothing that Mr.
Gray would rather do but unfortunate
ly for him President Wilson is reGuir-
ing every congressman to stay on his
job at Washington until congressional
business is finished.
1t was learned today through a press
dispatch from Washington that a
prominent Democratic state officer in
letter to Senator Shively urging him
to return to this state mentioned the
candidates. of Representatives Gray,
korbly, Barnhart, Morrison, Peterson
and Cullop as being jeopardy.
