WILSON'S Vote

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-President
Wilson today came out for womans
suffrage. His statement follows:
Il intend to vote for wOman's suf-
frage in New Jersey because I believe
that the time has come to extend that
privilege and responsibility to the
women of the states; but shall vote
not as the leader of my party in the
nation, but only upo nmy private con-
viction as a citizen of New Jersey.
Il think that New Jersey will be
greatly benefited by the change. My
position with regard to the way which
this great question should be handled
is we'll known. l believe that it should
be settled by the states and not by the
national government and that in no
should it be made d
party question; and my view has
grown stronger at every turn of the
agitation"

TRACTION WILL PAY
0NE-THIRD THE COST
OF TEMPORARY SPAN

A written agreement to pay one.
third the cost of construction of the
temporary bridge over the Whitewater
at Main street, was received by the
county commissioners this morning
from the officials of the Terre Haute,
Indianapolis & Eastern traction COM
pany.
By including in the specifications
under which Contractor l. E. Smith
will build the bridge. the use OF steel
stringers throughout, Engineers Muel-
lsF- and Daniels agreed that 1t would
not be necessary to reinforce the
bridge underneath the tracks. AS a
result of this agreement, the original
plan proposed by the county commits
sioners and ratified by Superintendent
Jeffries, for the traction company to
pay this additional cost, was not nee
essary. Consequently it was not in
cluded in the contract. The traction
company's share in the cost of the
temporary structure, exclusive of the
cost of grading for the tracks and the
erecting of poles and wires, will be
$1,799.

occ lu0 WOI III . SCllcS dI uOIuc.
You need not travel to Phila-
delphia Friday to see the opening
clash for the premier baseball
honors Of the world. The game
will be played on the electric score
board in front of the Palladium
office.
On diamond studded with elec-
trio light bulbs, play after play of
the big series will be shown. The
through leased wire of the Pallad-
ium will bring the game to Rich
mond with speed and accuracy.
AS the plays happen, they will

the bulbs flicker on the diamond
and you will know where the ball
is, how many strikes are on the
batter, how many are out, and how
all the plays are made.
To watch the light flickering

fascinating. The eager fan easily
visualizes the strategic moves of
the teams and in his minds eye
pictures the scene at Philadelphia
where the home team battles Bos-

The following petition has been
filed by the Richmond City Water
Works company with the Indiana
Public Utilities Commission:
Your petitioner represents to your
honorable body that the valuation
placed by the commission at that
time upon the property of the utility
was unjust. unfair and inadequate and
was not the real cash value of the
property
That since said date it has expend
ed large sums of money for necessary
and permanent improvements which
have not been considered in fixing
rates of said company, anu that it's
valuation should be increased and the
valuation of the property as of October
l, 1915, made on which to establish
rates for the future.
Your petitioner further alleges that
the rates made by your commission
were wholly inadequate to provide the
revenue necessary to take care of the
operating expenses, taxes, deprecia-
tion and return upon the investment
allowed for by the commission, and
that while the figures for the first
year. ending October 1, 1915, are not
wholly completed, that there will be
deficiency of between $4,000 and
$4,000 of the amount necessary to be
raised as contemplated by your honor
able body. and very large part of
this deficit was caused by reason of
the city of Richmond, Ind, not using
the amount of water that it was con-
templated it would use under the new
rate and which it did use when it was
furnished free.
That another large part of said de-
ficiency was caused by the fact that
the city of Richmond refused to pay,
and has not paid, for intermediate hy-
drants which, under the order of the
commission. were clearly required to
be paid by it, and by the further fact
that the taxes as assessed by the tax
ing officers of Wayne county, Indiana,
exceeded the estimates made by the
commission in practically the sum of
$4,000, and In this connection, your
petitioner further alleges. that said
taxes have been increased for the year
1915 and the rate increased, and that
there is bound to be greater de-
ficiency during the coming year.
Your petitioner further alleges that

CAR ROLLS over BANK

NEW PARIS. O.. Oct 6.-Edgar
Reinheimer narrowly escaped death
this morning when a six-ton truck
which he was driving plunged down
a twelve-foot embankment. alighting
on its side. Mr.. Reinheimer. who was
wrapped in heavy robes. was unable
to leave the seat and had to stay with
the car until it reached the bottom of
the grade. Had the machine turned
turtle it would have pinned Mr. Rein
heimer under the steering wheel and
would probably have killed or fatally
injured him. The car left the road
just south of town. The cause II un-

RUSSIA SUSPECTS
 MILITARY PLOT
PETRoGRAD GENERAL STAFF BE. LIEVES DEVELOPING MOVEMENT
 OF THE TWO GERMAN ARMIES.

Petrograd.-Officers of the Russian general staff believe that the Germans plan of operation in Northern Poland is to concentrate attention upon the Russian fortresses along the rivers Niemen and Bobr, and with their left wing safely established on Russian territory to make general southerly movement, meeting Austro- German forces advancing northward from the Carpathians and acquiring large sec t1on of Poland, in addition to that al- ready under their control.
 The success of this gigantic move ment Is dependent upon the ability of the Germans to capture the line of fortrssses, of which Ossowetz is the first to be singled out. The latest contamination from the Russian gen. eral staff indicates that the Germans have achieved no success in this ini- tial attempt
 In view Of the difficulty of penetrat- ing the fortified lines at this point where the marshy land presents a ser 1ous obstacle, the Germans evidently are shifting their attack to Lomza hoping to encircle the fortresses in. stead of taking them by direct as- sault
