Some Treasury Branches Open.
While the Treasury Department and
all its activities in Washing ton were
closed today. out of respect to the
memory of Abraham Lincoln. the vari-
Gus branches of the field service out
side of Washington were closed only
where this could be done without detri-
ment to the public service.
The order to this effect was given by
Acting Secretary Byron r. Newton after
conference with Attorney General
Gregory The Attorney General was
of opinion that the Presidents procla-
nation did not have the effect of d
national holiday throughout the coun-
try.
The possibility of the closing of GER
tain activities of the government away
from Washington. in conflict with local
business conditions, caused some doubt
as to how to proceed. Acting Secretary
Newton was impressed with the posi-
bility of confusion growing out of the
closing of the subtreasuries.
He cited a hypothetical case OF con-
tractor having government warrant
which he would be unable to cash at
the subtreasury. II closed, while he
might have maturing paper at banks
open for business and not taking
formal notice or giving grace in pay
ment by virtue Of the Presidents proc
lamation.
The decision was then made to au-
thorize the suspension Of all field serv-
ice operations for the day as far as
could be done without detriment to the
public service. The customs collectors
always have force on duty. holidays

GERMANY RELEASES
WILSON ON PROMISE
TO RETURN TO U, s,

Harry L. Wilson, clerk in the Am.
erican consulate at Berlin, brother OF
c. NJ. Wilson of this oity, who was ar.
rested east week on the charge made
by German authorities of assisting a
British subject to obtain American
passports in order to escape from Ger.
many, was released today at the re-
quest of the American government
and sent back to the United States
James w. Gerard, the American am
bassador, had the clerk brought to the
embassy and subjected him to a Wig.
orous cross-examination as to the
source of the money he is alleged to
have sent to his home.
Wilson testified that he personally
knew the applicant for the passport as
an American citizen, which enabled
tim to obtain the document. When
the affair was about to be discovered,
Wilson disappeared from Berlin, but
was arrested at the Swedish frontier
and taken back to the capital
c. NJ Wilson of this city received
letter from his brother about two
weeks ago in which the consular clerk
stated that he had sent his wife and
daughter to the United States to re-
move them from the danger. zone, but
hoped to return to Berlin in Septem-
ber. Harry l.. Wilson was born in
Centerville.

There is a decided variance of opin-
ion on standards of morality in Glen
Miller park as viewed by Park Super
the members of a special councilmanic
committee. of which Joe Waterman is
chairman, on the other.
Ford, some weeks ago. told the coun-
cilmen that people acted naughty in
the domain of which he is over-lord.
Last night Joe Waterman, with a
broad smile on his face. declared that
the investigating committee had decid-
ed that people act real nice when visit
ing the city's big recreation place.
1--WE explored the darkest and most
remote corners of the park said Wal
terman, Still grinning, "and we did not
find a thing to be complained of. The
charge which was made that certain
park employees were in the habit of
'foxing' people about the grounds, was
also found to be untrue. The park en-
ployes themselves said it was not true.
In brief, Mr.. Mayor, our report is that
people who frequent the park behave
themselves much better, as rule, than
a lot of people who loaf about Main
street.
Now that the park has been vindi-
Gated and mere "spooning' cleared of

upon it by superintendent Ford,

Present Case to COmmis-

INSPECTIONS ARE MADE
Bavis Intimates Richmond
Might File Test Suit
Should Board Refuse to
Make Repairs.

Mayor Robbins, President Bavis, OF
the board of public works, City At.
torney Bond, and City Engineer
Charles appeared before the board of
county commissioners yesterday af-
ternoon and once more urged that the
county place the Main street bridge
over the Whitewater river in a proper
state of repair
City Attorney Bond contended that
the expense of repairing this bridge
should be borne by the county and
not by the city and it was roughly
estimated that it would cost $4,000
to place the structure in first-class
condition
Board President Bavis stated today
that the commissioners appeared to
be impressed with the fairness of the
arguments presented by Bond. He
also intimated that if the commission
ers refused to act upon the city's
petition suit would be filed in cir
cult court to definitely determine
whether the city or the county would
have to bear the expense of making
the necessary repairs.
I'VE have had a competent inspec-
ton made of the bridge and it has
been ascertained that while the struc-
ture is not in a positively dangerous
condition, it will only be a matter of
a short time until such a condition

1t would entail the removal Of
large part Of the railroad shops now
at Indianapolis and at Bradford. O.
1t would mean that Richmond would
be the railroad center of the Penn.
sylvania's southwest system. Rich
mond would be made the central of.
fices of the western division. Ac-
cording to local officials, over a thou.
sand employees of the company would
be required to move their homes to
this city.
1t would be great economic saving
to the Pennsylvania system to have
Richmond the western terminal of the
lines now included in the Vandalia
system. The train crews are paid for
not less than one hundred miles of
road, and the Vandalia company now
suffers great loss in being required
to run the short distance from Terre
Haute to lndiAnapolis, for which IL
has TO pay the train crews the mini.
mum on one hundred miles basis.
Richmond Becomes Center.
This is also true of the run on the
p. c.. c. & st. L. from Columbus to
Bradford. O.. The change would make
Richmond the central station between
Terre Haute and Columbus, with the
added advantage of being the trans
fer point for the Chicago Cincinnati
division and the G. r. & I. 1t would
mean the saving of thousands of dol.
lars year, according to local officials.
It was announced yesterday that the
Pennsylvania company was negotiat-
ing for the site occupied by the NJ.
Rumely concern, and this gives cred
ence to the statement that the rail-
road company is considering the erect
ing of additional shops here. The
property north of the railroad would
be useless for the purpose of erecting
another freight house because of the
ample space now afforded for this
purpose on the south side near the
present building. This is the belief
of local men who have followed the
transportation problem.
Pennsy Wants Property.
If the deal to unite the management
of the Vandalia and the P, c.. C. &
ST. l.. lines goes through. as anticipat-
ed. Richmond will be one of the larg-
est transfer stations on the Pennsyl.
vania lines. 1t will be the meeting
point or the r. g. &. & st. L., the
G. r. & l. and the Nandalia. At pres
ent the Vandalia is owned and man.
aged by the Pennsylvania company.
as is the P, c.. c. & ST. L. and G.. R.
& l.. but the reorganization probably
would result in placing all three lines
under one management in order to
secure more economic operations.
1t is known definitely that the Penn
sylvania company has been anxious
to secure the local property of the
Rumely company. and it is the belief
that the railroad company and q
wrecking company are cooperating in
the deal.

SAFETY LOCKS

Automatic locks such as are now in
use at one local theatre will be in
stalled at both the Palace and Arcade
theatres as soon as possible as pro-
lection to patrons. In the meantime all
exit doors will be left unlocked while
there are people In the building.
These are promises made by the
managers of both houses to Fire Chief
Miller who made tour of inspection
yesterday The Chief found exit doors
at both places fastened with a hook
and warned the proprietors that all
means of entrance and exit must be
kept clear of all obstacles and the
doors if locked at all fastened in such
a manner that it is possible for any
one to open them from the inside at
any time.
Chief Miller also pointed out that
there is a city ordinance fixing fine
for anyone who keeps the exit doors
Of any public place where crowds as
semble locked.
The automatic locks are the latest
safety appliance of this kind. The
doors are locked by bolt at the top
connected by long rod that is within
the reach of anyone. A pull on this
rod and the doors automaticall fly
