NICHOLSON TO DROP
FOR PROBE
OF OPTION ELECTION
Dry Leader Says Citizen
Committee Has DiSbanded
Leaving Further Action
With Fox and Prosecutor.

The dry forces will make no fur
ther efforts for an option election
probe.
Probably no further moves will be
made by the committee of One Hun
dred or E. Edgar Nicholson, chairman
of the temperance forces of the city,
toward bringing about grand jury
probe of the alleged election frauds
perpetrated prior to March "a, the
date of the local option election here.
This statement was made today by
Mr.. Nicholson who has just returned
from ten days trip through the east
where he attended the New England
Yearly Meeting of Friends at Vassal-
boro, Me-, in the interest of the Ameri-
can Friend of which he is editor.
THE responsibility of calling a
grand jury rests not with us, but with
the prosecuting attorney and other
authorities" Mr.. Nicholson said. I'VE
had been promised that our affidavits
which were made out and others
which were ready to be presented,
would receive consideration.
I'VE feel that under the circum-
stances we should be given considera-
ton. If Judge Fox wants to hear what
evidence we have and determine by
that whether grand jury should be
called, l am willing to go over the
matter with him. 1t is my understand
ing though that such matters are
usually taken up with the prosecuting
attorney and it looks like a peculiar
method to me, for the judge to ask
the evidence instead Of leaving it with
the other authority"
The citizens committee of One Hun
dred has disbanded with the intention
of taking no further action in the
election matter until persons in
authority ask for the evidence. Mr..
Nicholson denied the statement of
Judge Fox that the swearing out of
affidavits is in any way a personal
matter.

ACCEPT
COUNTY ROAD PLAN
Officials Approve Jones' Plan
to Abolish Expensive
Township Highways.

Township trustees are falling in line
with the idea of converting all town
ship roads into county roads. Today
Trustee Enos T. Veal of Perry town
ship stated that he has seven miles
of township roads which he wants add
ed to the county system.
In Perry township there are forty
three miles of township roads and only
eight miles of county roads. The plan
of the trustee will practically double
the mileage of county roads.
Township roads in other parts of
the county will be included in those
changed within the next two months.
All the changes must be made before
the tax rate is fixed. small increase
in county road tax will be necessary,
while townships relieving themselves
of the financial burden of keeping up
roads will have a lower township road
tax.
Road Superintendent Jones expects
SO many new roads to be placed under
the jurisdiction of the county that he
will be forced to reorganize his entire
system of road districts and secure .
number of new superintendents.
Mr.. Jones and other road superin-
tendents have been discussing a plan
Of asking the legislature to convert
the roads of Indiana into county roads.
There are now 700 miles of roads in
Wayne county. and only 240 miles are
under the county supervisor.

WEST SIDE To ASK
SALE OF OLD PARK
Residents Want Proceeds
From Land Applied to Riv-
erside Boulevard Plan.

After a public meeting of West
Richmond citizens tonight in Baxter
school house, the city government
probably will be asked to dispose of
$4,000 piece of woods and gravel pit
it purchased several years ago for a
West Richmond park
The matter will be brought up to-
night when West Siders get together
to discuss plans for the proposed river
dump.
The citizens of West Richmond look
upon the park provided by the ex-
pensive deal with disgust. The
grounds are unlighted and unimprov-
ed. The land is rough and half gravel.
The park is located at the farthest
edge Of building activities and is in
accessible. The ground was unloaded
on the city at price unheard of for
land in that section.
Even though the price of land has
gone up in the vicinity considerably, it
is doubtful if the city government
could realize from sale of the prop
erty what a former administration put
in it. However, the citizens believe it
is a matter worthy Of consideration
ind that the money tied up there
should be placed where it will do good.
According to John Fosler, one of the
leaders in the park plan, no stone will
be left unturned to improve the dump
district 1t is probable that later the
Whitewater boulevard scheme will be
brought up again. The sewer system
will also be gone over with the idea
of placing the trunk sewer outlets on
a level with the river instead of hav-
ing sewage trickle down the whole
length of a hundred foot bluff.

VS.. SQUIRREL
Game Without Protection of
Law.

The squirrel crop this year is short,
but the crop of hunters is good, unless
the holders of all hunting licenses
paid their 81 fee to fish legally. The
squirrel laws were out yesterday.
Last month eighty-four licenses
were issued The licenses are combi-
nation affairs costing 81 and lasting
one year They are for both hunting
and fishing.
There is so little fishing in the
county now, that the occasional angler
who throws his line in some deep,
shady pool in one of the county's
crawling creeks, scarcely remembers
that there is such paper as fishing
license.
The clerk has no record of what use
the applicant will make of his license,
but it is generally understood that all
hunting and fishing licenses are is
sued for hunting purposes. During
the winter when there is rabbit hunt
ing, the biggest number of licenses
is issued. ~

"WE'RE OFF BOOZE
Fairview Boys Swear Before
Goodwin.

Ten half-grown Fairview boys, look
ing very sheepish but trying to appear
very dare-devilish, were herded into
Chief Goodwin's private office this
morning and received heart-to-heart
temperance lesson-on the evils of
drinking booze Two of them did not
need it, for with very white faces
they told him that they were "off of
booze forever" They had been so
deathly sick that their parents had to
summon physicians.
Goodwin suspected that the boys had
purchased a keg of beer, but they all
protested that they had found it in
the river bottoms near the c. & O..
railroad. explaining that it apparently
had fallen off car. They consumed
nearly all the contents of the keg
Tuesday night and all got uproarious-
ly drunk. Parents of several of the
boys complained to the police yester-
day afternoon. ~

WORTH OF WHEAT
YIELD TO EXCEED
QUARTER MILLION
C0bb's Estimate Shows the
County Crop Will Reach
515,772 Bushels, Breaking
Records for Several Years.
Rv A. d. COR9.

From present indications the Wayne
county wheat crop this year will ex-
ceed yields in recent years by almost
1O0,00 bushels.
This figure is based on an estimate
that the yield for the county will
average eighteen bushels to the acre.
Other estimates that the average will
run from twenty to twenty-five
bushels are not to be relied on. 1t
is true that a number of fields will
show such an average and that many
will even show a much larger yield
These are the crops we hear about.
But there are also any number of
fields from which the farmer will not
realize more than an average of eight
to ten bushels to the acre. When esti-
mating crops we never hear reports
of these poorer fields but they must
be taken into consideration in esti-
mating the yield for the county.
Based upon the acreage OF the last
three years, it is safe to say that
there are 1864 acres of wheat in
Wayne county this year. With an
acre this will make a total yield of
approximately 515,772 bushels.
What this means to the country may
best be realized when we figure that
new wheat is now selling at seventy
cents. This makes the crop in the
county worth $361, 1,04O.4O. Compared
with the yield for the last three years
this is a decided increase. Crops in
1911, 1912, 1913 respectively were:
273,SO9, 3O,444 and 425,038.
Considering the bumper crop every
where it is doubtful if even this years
showing will place the county among
the first ten in the state in either
acreage or average yield, a place
which it has not held for the last three
years.

The Awakening.

The sun had passed the meridian
next day when Valiant awoke, from q

ley's love had lain at the core OF all
these honied images. and his mind
was full Of II as his eyes opened, wide

He looked st his watch and rolled
from the bed with a laugh. Past

laid out for today?"
Presently he was splashlng In the
lake, shooting under his curved hand
unerring jets OF water at Chum, who
danced about the rim barking, now
venturfng to wet valorous paw, now
scrambling up the bank to escape the
watery javellns.
Valiant came up the terraces with
his blood bounding TO new rapture.
Crossing the garden. he ran quickly
TO the little close which held the sun
dial and pulled single great passion
flower. He stood a moment holding
II TO his face. his nostrils catching It's
faint elusive perfume. Only laet night,
under the moon, he had stood there
with Shirley in his arms. A gush OF
the unbelievable sweetness OF that mo-
ment poured over him. His face
softened.
Standing with his sandaled feet
deep In the white blossoms. the sun
on his damp hair and the loose robe
clinging to his moist limbs, he gave
himself 10 sudden day-dream. A
wonderful waking dream OF Joy over
flooding years OF ambitionless ease:
of the Damory Court that should be
In days to come.
When he came from the little close
there was a new mystery In the sun
shine, a fresh and joyous meaning In
the intense blue oyerarching OF the
imponderable sky. Every bird-note
held its own love-secret. A wood
thrush sang II from silver birch be-
side the summer-house, and bob
