CLUB CONTRACTS
FOR SCOTT Land
AS GOLF COURSE
Richmond Organization Re-
leases Rettig Farm for
Ground Nearer City-Will
Erect $4,000 Building.

The Rihmond Country club last
night approved the action Of the Of
ficers in surrendering contract
which had been entered into with Otto
Rettig for the purchase OF sixty
acre farm on the National Road, four
miles east Of the city. The officers
were instructed to enter into con.
tract with Mr.. and Mrs. Augustus c.
Scott. this city, for the purchase OF
fifty-nve acres bordering on the north
and west of the old Driving park race
track, about mile east of Glen Miller
park on the National road.
This site is regarded as an ideal
one for a golf course and the club
was able to purchase 1t at a lower
figure than the price Mr.. Retting
placed on his property. 1t is mostly
rolling ground and is very accessible
to the city, being only short distance
from the city car lines and reached
by the traction line. The property for
years has been used as a pasture and
as a result the turf is in particularly
good condition and can be placed in
condition for golf playing at very
small expense.
In the center of the property is
high knoll and from its summit wide
expanse of territory is visable.
Country club officials announced to-
day that on this knoll club house to
cost between So, and $4,000 would
be constructed.
There was considerable opposition
on the part OF club members to the
proposed purchase Of the Rettig farm
because of it's distance from the city
but at the time this was contracted
for it was the only satisfactory site
available. Later Mr.. and Mrs. Scott
offered to sell section of their farm,
which proposal was enthusiastically
accepted by all club members. A
satisfactory arrangement was made
with Mr. Rettig to secure release
to the contract he held.

Anti tuberculosis Society
Will Demand Some Action

Street oiling is the only practical

retary of the Anti-tuberculosis society.

ing that the dust nuisance be allayed

Whether the society will 60 on
record as demanding oiling under pub
lie contract or not. DR.. Bond could not
say. Members. however. are unani-
nous in their belief that the streets
should be oiled as they declare that
sprinkling with water is detrimental
to the macadam.
Shall the Anti.tuberculosis organiza-
ton affiliate with the Central Charity
bureau? This question will be
threshed out Although cooperating
with the bureau the society has main
tanned its independence financially.
The fact that the association Is a
county organization has been cited
as an obstacle to the merger.
DR.. Bond said the society would at
all times take necessary steps to see,
that officers and physicians carried
out the recent state law wrich prob
vides for the quarantine OF white
plague sufferers. An effort Will be
made to have q man from the national

ESTIMATED ATTENDANCE.

"The Sunday school is a power
house; it is the armory and the West
Point of the church; it is the labora-
tory for the work of advancing Christ's
cause"
Thus was the conception of the
power of Sunday school work brought
home to more than twelve hundred
persons, who attended the final ses-
sion of the Sunday school meetings
held yesterday under the auspices OF
the international touring party OF the
International Sunday school assocla-
ton.
Marion Lawrence, secretary OF tte
association, was on the firing line at
the meeting at the East Main Street
Friends church last night, and poured
forth broadside after broadside about
the growth of Sunday school work in
America.

the day. closely followed by efficiency.
Il want to talk tonight about some
things that must be, that other things
may be-" said Mr.. Lawrence. And
what I say applies to individuals,
churches and all church organizations.
The Sunday school is the best chan.

HESS DESCRIBES
ALLEGED ORDER
TO Get BALLOTS
Jack Hines Says Roberts Or
dered Him to 'sWork' for
Registration or Close Sa-
loon at Once.

INDIANAPOLIS, March 1S.-Mayor
Dom Roberts apportioned the number
Of registrations he wished returned
from each precinct in Terre Haute and
told Frank Hess, saloonkeeper, to see
that he got them, Hess testified in the
Terre Haute case today.
In Precinct A, Sixth ward, Roberts
wanted 800 votes, about twice the mum.
Der of voters, it was testified. Hess,
owner of a notorious saloon, was rec
ognized as Roberts right hand man,
and was charged with offering a gov
ernment witness $500 to skip to Mex.
leo after the investigation was started.
Hess then became a government wit
ness. Hess. wife also testified that
she assisted in making false registra.
tions.
Among the charges today were that
Jack Hines, saloonkeeper and politician,
said that Roberts ordered. him to work
on registration and that 600 votes were
bought in one precinct and that he was
ordered to work" or close his saloon.
Jack Hines resumed the stand at the
opening today. Roberts told him, he
testified, that Precinct A, Sixth ward.
in which Hines saloon was located,
could stand $500 or 500 votes. Hines
swore that Roberts told him Ito get
them from Frank Hess, Murray's and
Evans saloons
+. Were there 75O or 800 votes?" ask
ed Daley.
There are between $50 and 500
votes there" replied Hines.
John Nugent told Hines to send the
fellows from his saloon to the city
hall for registration work, testified
the witness. His bartender, Harley
Frazee, laid off because he could make
more money working at registering.
Hines swore that Thomas c. Smith
and others made out applications for
about $50 colored men.

Last Monday the suggestion was
made to the board Of public works
that a street oiling outfit be purchas-
ed for the street department. thus
providing what was termed the only
sensible solution of q vexatious ques-
ton which arises every year.
City Attorney Bond expressed the
opinion that the street department
could oil all macadam and gravel
streets, If the expense was met out OF
the general fund. President Bavis
said he favored having the street de-
partment do this work. providing the
cost could be assessed against the
benefited property owners. Mr.. Bond,
however did not think the law would
permit the city to take such action.
MeMinn Fights oiIins.
No further consideration was then
given to oiling plans. beyond adopting
a motion for the clerk to inquire OF
contractors II they would do any OIL
ing under private contracts, because
Mr.. McMinn of the board declared
that he would stand firmly by the
previous decision of the board that the
city would have nothing to do with
street oiling this year; that, SO far as
he was concerned the streets would
be oiled under private contract or not
at ALL
Most city officials realize, however.
that there will be very few streets
oiled this year if contractors have to
depend on private contracts. Their
previous unfortunate experiences
with private contract work has made
them very reluctant to attempt it
again in this city.
Can Assess Owners.
Therefore. as the situation Is now,
there will be many miles of dusty.
disease breeding streets in Richmond
the coming spring. summer and fall
unless the city decides to take over
street oiling itself.
A street oiling wagon can be pur-
chased at small cost. which would be
about the only expense the city would
be put to under the ruling of the at
torney general, as the cost of oil and
the expense Of putting 1t down can be
assessed against the property owners.
