Traffic on Farnam
Blocked Half Hour
by Battle of Words

An argument as to whether a sidewalk
freight elevator which was resting at
peace In the center OF the shaft should
be propelled up or down blocked the
Farnam street sidewalk In front of the
United States National bank for twenty
lIIminutes about IL o'clock yesterday
morning.
The wordy battle ensued between two
men who were unloading a Swartz &
Hirsch wagon containing potatoes for the
Lincoln Inn In the basement OF the bank
building. The elevator stopped In the
very middle OF the shaft and the two
men disagreed whether they should start
the car up or down. While they argued
the matter scores OF pedestrians crowded
around the guard railing In the hope of
an approaching fight. with the result
that traffic along the north side of Far
nam at that particular spot was confined
to the street for about twenty minutes.

No Change in the
Birth of a Nation
Injunction Case

District Judge Redick, who declined to
issue an order restraining the showing (
the film, THE Birth OF a Nation" at the
Brandeis theater. previous TO It's first ap-
pearance Sunday evening. said that there
was no change in the legal status OF the
pictures.
Omaha negroes have not renewed their
petition that the showing of the film
be enJoined. on the ground that race
prejudice will be increased In Omaha.
In the event q restraining order should
DO granted which should not be sus-
tanned by the courts after subsequent
hearings the plaintiffs would be liable In
damages for loss of profits caused by
stopping the showing OF the film. and n
bond adequate TO cover such damages
would be required by law before the
restraining order would be binding.

COUNTY ATTORNEY
HOLDS |NTERuRbAN
MAY INCREASE RATE

County Attorney Hoelscher will SUBJ
nit an opinion tomorrow to the board
of county commissioners to the effect
that it will be useless to attempt to
act contrary to the ruling of the public
service commission of Indiana increas-
ing traction rates to two cents mile,
he said today.
That the county commissioners we're
the agents of the state of Indiana in
granting the franchise to the traction
company for Wayne county in 1902
and were empowered as agents of the
state to fix the traction rates for this
county, and that the ruling of the pub
lie utilities commission is merely a
change Of rates by a higher power of
the state of Indiana, is the basis of the
opinion which will be submitted
1t Is understood this was also to be
the grounds of the traction company
should the case come to court in which
they would be required to prove their
right to make the increase contrary to
the provisions of the franchise which
provided for a rate of one and two
thirds cents per mile.

for Competition.

George E. Seidel, chairman Of the
public service committee of the Com
mercial club, said today that he would
call a meeting of the committee at
once for the purpose of discussing the
action just taken by the city in insti-
tuting condemnation proceedings be-
fore the Indiana public utilities COM
mission for the acquisition Of the elec-
trio plant of the Richmond Light, Heat
and Power company.
"The question involved Is one of
vital importance to the citizens of
Richmond, who are the stockholders
in the municipal plant" Mr.. Seidel
said, land it should be considered
from every angle before any definite
policy is formulated and carried out.
My committee will discuss the advisa-
bility of calling a special meeting of all
club members for the purpose of hav-
ing a thorough discussion on the ques-
tion."
Former Mayor Approves.
Public opinion on the question in
volved appears to be considerably di-
cided. Quite a number of citizens,
including former Mayor w. w. Zim-
norman, who has always been an ar
dent advocate of municipal ownership,
indorse the plan to have the city Sc.
cure monopoly of the electric light
ing and power business.
A number OF people have expressed
themselves as being opposed to the
elimination of competition in this
business, either by the Light, Heat and

EATON MAN OFFERS
STREET 0|LER FOR
$365 TO RICHMOND

Most attractive of the several bids
submitted to the board of public works
to supply a street oiling wagon was
that submitted by H. w. Curry, an
Eaton (O.) contractor, providing his
machine is found to be in first-class
condition. He used the machine four
days last year, and now offers to dis
pose of in for 1865, freshly painted. 1t
has a capacity of 900 gallons. The
next lowest price quoted for machine
of equal capacity was $474. Bids for a
street sweeper, which is to be a part
of the city's street oiling equipment,
ranged from $3.50 to over $500. No
contracts for either oiler or sweeper
have yet been awarded.
Board members and Engineer
Charles went to Eaton today to in
spect Curry's machine. Incidentally
they will inspect the new kind of street

DROP BOOSTER TRIPS
FROM CLUB ACTIVITY
"6lUE,
"Surqeon.GeneraI."

Probably no more booster trips will
be recommended to 1vertise Rich
mond and to give publicity in a per-
sonal way to celebrations and events
held here.
Lee B. Nusbaum, chairman Of the
Commercial club publicity committee,
which is the former advertising COM
mittee, said today he would call his
committee together for its first meet
ing in a short time, probably next
week, before the May directors meet
ing.
Il do not believe booster trips do
much good" Mr.. Nusbaum said.
There is some doubt as to what form
Of advertising is best
The local organization OF the Ma
tional Old Trails association, the cen
tennial celebration committee and
committees in charge of similar events
have asked that the committee give
assistance.
Because Of the centennial celebra-
tion plans, the matter of holding a
Fall festival in 1915 probably will not
be brought to a vote.
