CONSCIENCE.

a conscience is a funny thing.
You don't know it's along
Onul the times You start to do
something you know is Wr0ng
And then it hammers at your brcast
with all its might and main.
Ana gives you not a minutes rest
Until you're right again.
FOR weeks and weeks YOU travel on
And never know it's there:
IL doesn't interfere with YOU
SO long as you are fair.
But when you start some shady trick
That later youll be rueing.
Your conscience then is very ouic,
To ast.you what you're doing.
You cannot fool your conscience
much.
It's always onto you;
It knocks exactly all the time
The things you want 10 do.
It's just as still as it can be
When you are going right.
But when you stoOp to trickcrv
It's then it starts to fight.

Corporation Dispatches En-
gineer to Draw Plans for
Improvement to Double
Current Capacity. +
GETS BIG CONTRACT
Officials Say Changes Will
Reduce Production Cost
Inadequate Machinery Will
Go Into Discard.

A telegram from the New York
offices of the United Gas and Elec.
trio corporation received at the Light
Heat and Power company here today
announced. that the corporation e
chief engineer, Mr.. Esterada will ar
rive late today or tomorrow to begin
plans for an addition to- the local
plant.
The addition includes new build.
Ing, two 900 horse power engines, a
new turbine and other new equipm ent
which will double the capacity Of the
plant.
Until the engineer arrives no def
mite announcements will be made by
officials Of the Light, Heat and Power
company. 1t is understood a large sum
of money will be expended in improv
ing the plant.
Figures on Improvement.
The company has been figuring fol
some time on the installation of a new
stoker system and the erection of a
smoke stack like that Of the city light
plant. which was completed in 1918.
1t is said part of the old equipment
will be discarded so that the capacity
of the plant when all improvements
are completed will be little less than
double the present capacity.
The extension Is the result of con
tracts with small towns south of Rich
mond and of the growth in the city OF
Richmond. The Light, Heat and Pow.
er company recently received a con
tract for street lighting from the town
OF Brookville which gives it the towns
business without competition. How
ever, contract was lost at Conners
vile yesterday when a nearer com.
pany under bid the local concern.
Policy Remains Same.
When asked what effect the new
improvements would have on the cleo.
trfcity rates for the city. an official
Of the company said there would be
no Change. Modern naachiuery will
enable e-tAe -eoncefn 10 reduce thl
operating exp snses considerably al
though there will be greater invest,
ment to figure in fixing the rates.
The Light, Heat and Power com.
pany owns 160 feet Of ground south
Of the buildings at First and Main
streets. The site Of the new building
Is between the old light producing
plant and the Main street bridge at a
point where floods cannot reach.
1t. is said the Improvements have
been figured on fr some time and a
we'll and intake line from the White.
water river, was installed more than a
year ago, with capacity for the in
creased size of the plant.

Richmond is classed as one of the
sixteen cities in Indiana which has

by the educational extension depart.
ment of Indiana university. Figures
taken from the census of 1910 show
Richmond had at that time 1,173 for
etgn born white citizens. enough to
be classified as a real educational
problem.

day: This is one of the most valu.
able bulletins ever put out by the
state school, and should be q source
OF much information for every one in
terested in educational problems"
The bulletin further shows that at
the time Of the enumeration there were
737 illiterates In Wayne county. Ia
bles show that this part of Indiana
was more free from these problems
than the northern section of the state.
In 1910 the population Of the state
was 2,700, ,816, indicating loss through
interstate migration. During the lAst
thirty years the rural population has
decreased. and the urban population
increased, so that SIG per cent OF the

In the opening argument Prosecutor
Keller urged the jury to give Under
hill jail sentence in addition to q
fine. thereby performing duty to the
good citizenship of the community. He
said that because Underhill had not
appeared in the role of a witness, he
had no right to dwell upon his char
acter. but he insisted that the mans
actions in the troubles he had been in
volved in with people living in the
vicinity of his New Paris pike farm,
truthfully depicted the mans charac.
ter. which the jury could take into
consideration in formulating a decis-
ion
The prosecutor declared that the at
tack made upon him last month was
the direct result of numerous annoy
ances people living in the vicinity Of
the scene Of the trouble had been sub
jected to by him for a long period Of
time. Incidentally the prosecutor de-
clared that it was his understanding
that civil suits for damages were to be
filed by Underhill in the near future.
but he expressed doubt whether any
jury could be obtained which would
award Underhill damages In excess of
one cent. ..-.....s 80
Mr.. Keller asserted that legally the
men who attacked Underhill were
guilty Of assault and battery, but
morally they were not. Mr.. Keller
also reminded the jury that because
the trial of the case had hinged about
the alleged attempt of Underhill to
shoot Weidenbach it must remember
that this was not the case on trial. He
then pointed out that the offense Un-
derhill was charged with was drawing
a deadly weapon, a revolver. on Wei
denbach, and he reminded the Jury
that no evidence had been introduced
by the defense to refute this charge.
He cited the law which provides that
upon conviction of this misdemeanor
the accused can De fined from 81 to
$500. to which may be added a Jail
sentence not to exceed six months. He
expressed the belief that a jail SEN
tence might impress upon Underhill
the advisability of conducting himself
better in the future.
AS as.anticipated, Mr.. johnson In
his argument made no denial of the
charge that Underhill had drawn a re-
volver upon Weidenbach, but he said
We1denbach knew at that time. as ev-
cry one else did. that Underhill was a
coward and would not shoot. The as.
sault made upon his client was more
cowardly than the conduct of Under.
hill. and indicated "white-capping"
spirit of taking the law into their own
hands on the part of the assailants.
Mr.. johnson said that if there had
been indications that Underhin was
to be prosecuted in fair and impair.

Labor Council Accepts Propo-
sal of Mayor Robbins For
Commission to Settle Reli-
ance Trouble.
COMPANY IS WILLING
Plan Proposes One Man Sc
lected by Company, One by
Molders, These to Choose
Third. \

Approval was given by the Rich.
mond Labor Council last night to
Mayor Robbins plan to have the diff
ferences existing between the man.
agement Of the Reliance foundry com.
pany and the striking molders settled
by arbitration. Mayor Robbins ap.
peared before that body with Presi-
dent Bavis of the board of public
works. The council decided to refer
this question to the molders' union
local with the advise that the suggest
ion be indorsed
"At meeting the mayor held with
officers of the Reliance company in
regard to the proposed arbitration the
mayor was Informed by these men
that they would be pleased to have
him submit to them and to the union
list OF several men to serve as
arbitrators, one to be selected by the
company. one by the union and third
man to be selected by the first two
appointees." Mr.. Bavis said.
May Use New Law.
Mayor Robbins feels that he is per-
fectly justified in offering his good
offices in an attempt to effect a set.
tlement of strike which has extend
ed over a period of three months.
1t has been suggested to the mayor
that in the event of failure of his eff
forts along this line the recently en-
acted arbitration and conciliation law
could be fallen back upon. Under the
provisions OF this act arbitration pro.
ceedings can be initiated through an
appeal of any of the interested parties
or by the governor of the state.
Attitude Of Reliance.
When Mr.. Bavis was informed that
some of the officers of the Reliance
company were not taking the arbitra-
tion proposal seriously he said that in
his opinion the city should have no
dealings with company which would
decline such fair and logical plan.
by that I mean the city should
ignore, in such an event, the Reliance
company's bid for the municipal cast
ing contract, which amounts to about
$780," he explained.
THE Reliance company and the
Robinson company each entered bids
to making castings at rate of three
cents a pound. The Reliance is a
patron of the city plant but that should
be given no consideration if that COM
pany refuses to accept any fair pro-
posal for effecting a settlement with
the striking molders."

Asks City Controller to Com
pile List of Expenditures
of Richmond Since Janu-
ary 1. ..
WILL ANSWER CHARGE
President of Board Shows
Saving of $4,000 on Crema-
tory and Other Economical
Moves.

That Controller McMahan's asser
tion that the city would be crippled
financially unless more economy were
practiced in the conduct Of municipal
affairs was intended as an indirect
charge that the board of public works
had been guilty of extravagances, was
the Interpretation given by President
Bavis of the board today.
Il have written a letter to the con
troller asking that he complete list
Of city expenditures from the first OF
the year to March 81" said Mr. Bavis
This will be submitted to the cabi
net meeting next Monday night and by
1t will prove that the controller is
incorrect in his declarations. will
also submit list of public improve
ments so far authorized, to be com
piled by the city engineer"
Will Refute Charge.
Mr.. Bavis said the statement made
by the, controller would be completely
other information the controller made
public was the fact that two temper
ary loans, each for $1,000, had been
negotiated this year and that $4,000
OF the city's share OF the spring taxes
had been drawn in advance.
Mr.. Bavis in refuting the intimation
Of extravaganza on the part of the
board stated that although $1,000 had
been appropriated for a crematory a
new, one had been constructed for
$4,000 and that the board had decided
not to purchase q new street roller al
though $2.500 had been Appropriated
tor this purpose. @>
He said the old roller was repaired
ut cost OF only $50. He also pointed
to the fact that the city's income was
barely sufficient to meet ordinary ex'
penses but so far this year the city
building had been remodeled at an ex'
pense of $3.50 and that the city had
been put to an expense Of $4,000 to re-
move the heavy SHOWS the first two
months Of the year.
