ican memorandum of March 30, protest
Ing against the British order in Council
This denied the right of Great Britain

ous voyage.
The British Government sent to the
State Department two separate memo

time.
The State Department assumes that
Great Britain considered this the favor

Secretary Lansing said the note will be

stated that the London Foreign Office has

Despite Lansng's reticence, fears were
expressed that the British had refused
to make the required concession.
That President Wilson would stand fast
for freedom of the seas for American

their owners and to shippers by them,

LEADERS
SWAMP ADAIR
WITH SPEECHES

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 29.-Things
political are beginning to hum through
out Hoosierdom. Representative John
A. M. Adair of Portland will be the
busiest office seeker in the state for
the next few days. He is booked for
forty meetings in cities all over Indi-
ana. On most of his trips he will be
assisted by Senator John w. Kern.
Tonight they are in Muncie. Last
night they spoke in Brookville. The
itinerary is being arranged by Dale
Crittenberger.
Adair has started after the nomina-
ton for the governorship in a vigorous
manner, and Democratic leaders say
there is little doubt but that he will be
the winner in the primaries.
The Republicans have not been so &C.
tive in putting gubernatorial aspir-
ants in the field. Efforts are being
made to persuade former Representa-
tive John w. Boehne of Evansville to
make the race. 1t is said he has been
promised liberal support from Demo
Gratis advocating statewide prohibition.
But he has refused to get into the race.
The big Democratic meeting of this
week will be the banquet of the Jack
son club at Lafayette tomorrow night.
Besides Adair and Kern as speakers
at this meeting there will be J. Ham
Lewis of Illinois and Governor Ralston
of Indiana.

man presided at the meeting at noon

county commissioners have only one
purpose and that is for the common
good. AS a city official l am non
committal, but when arrived in Rich
mond sixteen years ago and saw the
slant of the present Main street bridge
l wondered at the unsightedness Of
such construction. We must not be
carried away by irresponsible senti-
ment. We must have well-matured,
deep-seated plans of a majority"
County Commissioner Cheesman de-
clared that the board will cooperate
with the people and act as the de-
mands of the taxpayers warrant.
Lee B. Nusbaum, president of the
county council, stated that as citi-
zen he was in favor of a level bridge,
and officially he was also in favor of
a level structure if the taxpayers want
it and the council has the legal right
to make the appropriation.
1t was an enthusiastic gathering,
and the sentiment of all the speakers
was highly in favor OF a level concrete
bridge that would stand for hundreds
of years.
The nominating committee chosen to
draft a committee of one hundred
members was composed of the follow
ing men. Chairman, c. w Jordan:
f. G. Hill, Leander Woodland. Atwood

PENNSY TIED UP:
CARS PL0W WAY
THROUGH STORM


Little relief was in sight up to
O'Clock today for patrons of the Penn
sylvania railroad. Only one train
to arrive in Richmond aside
from Number Is which got here at
an early nour. mat was Number 10
which managed to creep through the
storm from Cincinnati arriving an
hour and three quarters behind time
No trains have been head from on the
western division ard it looks as though
the line was helplessly tied up and
will be fer hours yet. Telegraph COM
have not yet been estab-
lished with the west and the eastern
division is also unable to get any mes
sages through. Many trains are stall
ed along the line and have been for
over twelve hours. 1t is impossible
for them to move until they receive
orders and reports from different
points have filtered in through the
gangs clearing the tracks of fallen
telegraph poles and trees that if the
trains had orders they could not move
for hours until the tracks are cleared
up. Conditions are reported much
wore in the west than they are in the
east. The eastern lines will be run
ming near schedule hours before the
situation in the west is cleared up.

IllPECT HOElSCHER
TO OBTAIN POSITION

That Gustave Hoelscher, former
Progressive. will land the county at
torney appointment again this year In
spite of the opposition of Gath Free
mand. Republican, is the belief of
political dopesters who figure that
Mordecai Doddridge, who recently left
the Progressive party to become a
candidate on the Republican ticket for
commissioner, will lend his support
to HOelscher and that William
Seaney, Democratic member of the
board, cannot be expected to support
Gath Freeman. What position William
Cheesman. the other Republican COM
missioner will take, cannot be learned.
The county attorneys job is the
most important one from the political
point of view that will be handed out
at the meeting of the commissioners,

tags proved SO popular that the sup

sufficient for the demand The
churches of Richmond are not letting
anything go undone that would let all
the people know that they will be wei

The man who has been saying that the
churches do not want him will have
to keep quiet for few days. The
churches want him now, just as his
friends will want preacher on the
day of his funeral. -~-ss ..
The idea of going to church the
first Sunday of the New Year seems
to be taking SO we'll that the person
who joins the procession next Sunday
is likely to find himself on the way to
the place of worship.
