FEUD HITS FISHERMEN

PRINCETON. Ind. April p. - A
lanS owners feud is threatening to
spoil the sport OF Gibson couGty's most
popular fishing resort, Long pond,
eight miles northwest OF here, a
stretch OF water about a mile long in
it's main part, which formerly was
bed of White river. 1T is>the property
of the owners of the land on either
side. chiefly c.. r. Bingham and Henry
White. Mr.. Bingham has rented boats
there for years.
y few days ago he built a fence part
way across the pond 20 protect the best
fishing places on his side from those
who did not have his boats. il is said
Then Henry White built fence all
the day across. Now a renter of a
White boat can fish only above the
fence. and one with a Bingham boat
can fish only below. a condition that
has aroused the ire of fishermen who
have been used to roaming the pond
and against whom no restrictions have
before been placed by the owners. It
is expected some legal complications
will arise.

HOUSE KILLS RAILROAD
SLIDING SCALE MEASURE
Action Virtually Ends Stubborn
Battle by Roads for In
creased Rate.

LANSING, Mich, April 22.-After
I'VE hours OF almost continuous debate
the house OF representatives by a vote
Of "a 20 as. killed the TaylOr-Henry
sliding scale" bill TO increase pas
senger fares on Michigan railroads
This virtually ends the railroads
chance 10 obtain through the legis-
lature the relief they insist they need.
and they are already planning to take
their case into the courts
The fate OF the compromise sliding
scale" bill tonight was not unexpected
as railroad Representatives had seen
the shift in sentiment during the last
few days and especially early this
afternoon.
The fight over the measure was the
most bitter. stubborn and un-
compromising that has surrounded
any piece OF legislation at this session.
and before il eliminated on the floor
of the house this afternoon had in
volved the legislature in an investiga-
ton Of "slush fund" rumors and per
pleXities that left at least half dozen
members still undecided as late as
noon as 20 how they would vote on
the measure.
The rate bill passed the senate sew
5rai weeks ago and had il gone
through the house would have
been up TO the governor for his sig
lAAuIts
During the fight I'm both branches
strenuous efforts were made bv the
opponents of any increase in fares to
prevent action at this session by pro-
viding for an investigation or at least
by limiting the relief raise 10 two
years.
The bill killed today would have en-
titled railroads earning $500 a mile
or less TO charge three cents a mile;
those earning from $1,000 TO $4,000,
two and a half cents. and those earn
ing $4,000 or more, two cents, the
present rate.
1t was asserted that had the bill
passed. the Pere Marquette, which was
the chief petitioner for relief, would
have received from 100000 TO $500,
600 increased revenue annually and
that the total increase in revenue for
the four roads mainly affected would
have amounted TO more than $1,000
600 annually.

However. many members OF the
house are of the opinion that the

A GreencastIe scientist has advanced

that because of the heavy cannOnading

of this there has been heavy rainfalls
