JESSUP OBJECTS
TO CITY'S PLANS
TO Lower ALLEY

Twice has the city failed in its ef-
fort to cut down hump" in the alley
between South Seventh and Eighth
streets. extending from South c to E
streets, and to install a sewer line and
provide a concrete pavement. Obsta-
cles have now been placed in the path
of the third effort along this line.
Thomas Jessup has strenuously OBJ
jected because the latest improve
ment plan provides for improving the
alley only from South c street to with
in 200 feet of E street. He insists
that it is illegal to attempt such ac-
ton. eff the alley is cut down my
barn will be left five feet above the
new grade." he said. Action was post
poned until next week pending the city
attorneys investigation of the matter.
A resolution was confirmed for a
concrete roadway in the alley between
South Sixth and Seventh streets. ex-
tending from the first alley south of
Main to South A.
A resolution for concrete pavement
for the alley between South Seventh
and Eighth streets. from South A to
South B, was demonstrated against
and referred to council.
A resolution was confirmed for ce-
ment walks on the east side of South
Tenth street from Park Place to
South G.
A resolution was confirmed for ce-
ment walks on the east side of South
Eleventh street from G street to J

BLAZE WRECKS

Flame to Neighboring
Houses, Saved Only by
Quick Work of FireInen.

A new and handsome two.story
frame dwelling owned and occupied by
Fred Kauper. Jr., 631 South ] street.
was practically ruined by fire about
1880 o'clock this morning and for a
time the other residences in that dis
tract were threatened with deStruc-
ton.
Sparks from the burning house set
fire to the roof of a residence near
South Seventh and streets. and to
the roof of the residence at 629 South
J street. Prompt work by firemen
prevented these two houses from Lurn-
ing, the flames being extinguished
with small loss in each case.
Water Ruins Furniture.
The roof Of the kauper home was
burned off and the second floor almost
quilted. Nearly all the household ef-
fects on the second floor were de-
stroyed or ruined by water. Furni-
ture and other goods on the first floor
were saved. The total loss to Mr.
Kauper will probably be between
$1,000 and $4,000. This is partly COW
cred by insurance.
The fire started on the roof Of the
Kauper home, presumably from
sparks OF a passing c. & o. engine,
and the flames spread very rapidly.
BY the time the fire companies arrived
the blaze was a dangerous one and
the firemen did very good work in
preventing the total destruction of the
dwelling and other houses in the
neighborhood.

were quite i'll but they were safely re-
raoved. The .firemen were somewhat

dents have adopted. e,

space for growth. A high school, 70
Gated on Main street, which is the
Chester pike, or North Tenth street,
would build up the street solidly, a
member of the town board told the
school authorities.
It was suggested that "jitney bus
line might be run at the opening and
closing hours of school to give the pu-
pills opportunity to get to Richmond.
the center of the township.
"The old Sevastopol school outside of
the city limits, on West Fifth street.
is the best location we have now," Mr..
Williams said. 1T can be reached by
a walk of two or three minutes from
the Fairview and West Richmond car
lines. West of the city and east of the
city are also good locations on the car
line"
Although no action has been taken,
Mr.. Williams said it will be necessary
in the future to economic, for Wayne
township by adding room to the
school at National road and Easthaven
avenue.
The school was overcrowded and
twenty pupils were sent to Garfield
school in the city. The township fur
nished two street car tickets day
and paid 81 month tuition. The ex-
pense did not exceed $50 month.
With the new law of paying tuition
In operation, the township will be u,l-
der an additional expense of $50 a
month In short time the cost of
building an extra room to the school
would be paid for by the saving, Mr..
Williams said.

test Among Democrats to
Land Political Job in
Wayne County.

It became known definitely today
that w. A. Hatfield, manager OF the
Independent Ice and Fuel company,

nothing to question the correctness OF
this information.
Hatfield is q member Of the K Of p
lodge. He stands high among busi-
ness men of Richmond and the assur-
ance of his appointment met with
general appreciation. 1t was believed
he would conduct the office in q high
ly efficient manner.
Fight 10 Bitter.
A bitter and secret fight on the oil
inspectorship has been waged here for
weeks, details Of which were kept un-
der cover. Members Of the state gov
eminent, in whom rested the power OF

interested In particular candidates.
gave no satisfaction to applicants.
The selection of Hatfield. as a result.
came as surprise N many quarters.
George Bayer and Ben Drischel were
candidates for the position. provided
Farwig did not get the job. They
were only receptive candidates, how
ever. Harry Schuerman, treasurer of
the Democratic central committee.
said last week that he stood a chance
OF winning as compromise candidate
and that he would enter the fight. On
the same day, however, he suddenly
changed his mind and kept out of the
contest, assuring Farwig on the sams
evening of his support
Hatfield would not comment on the
prospect Of his appointment. He said
the governor would leave Indianapolis
tomorrow for a week and that the ap-
pointment probably would be anncunc-
ed before the governor left. He was
optimistic Of his selection. however.

only business he had with Mayor Rob
erts was to bring suit against him.
Jordan said that Montgomery pulled
the lever at his request after he had
turned the keys on the voting machine,
and that he had no knowledge of any
one voting who was not entitled to
do so.
He admitted, however, under cross
examination, that he was suspicious OF
Montgomery. Jordan had list of
twenty-five false registrations, he said,
and he was morally certain that his
friend Pulliam would be cheated. but
did not know for . certainty that false
Registrations prepared In the city hall
had been voted.
Denies Fraud.
r. F.. Culbertson, Democratic judge
in Montgomery's precinct. denied any
knowledge of fraud there. He said
that some one threw the lever 50 far
that it was decided to have Montgom-
cry operate it. Culbertson admitted
that he had employment from the
board of works for six weeks for six
weeks, and that he was agent running
up and down the state posting pictures

received So day and expenses.
Culbertson on cross-examination by
Daley, denied that he was moocher.
John Masselink, inspector OF
weights and measures, was the fourth
defendant to testify. Previously he
was a machinist, member of the state
legislature and candidate for mayor
against Roberts, but afterward was ap-
pointed on Roberts recommendation
He said he wis in Stark's saloon two
or three hours and at the registration
place. He denied that he made out
any false registrations, but admitted
buying drinks. He denied hearing
Roberts telling any one how to man
ipulate voting machines. He declared
that the voting machines were pro-
nounced all right by the inspectors but
the District Attorney objected saying
that evidence showed that the ma.
chimes could be made to turn somer-
sault with a screw driver.

that the lost submarine "a would
never be brought to the surface
and that she would remain on the
ocean bottom, the tomb OF 81,
grew steadily here today, although
there was no elimination in the
efforts to raise the vessel. Reta-

to accept the latest report that the

sharply criticised the naval Off
ciaIs and asserted that delay In
