STATE MILITIA
TO BE CALLED
TO BORDER LINE

WASHINGTON, June IA report
was circulated in army circles here
today that all state militia organiZa-
tions would be called out for service
in Mexico before the ED Of next week.
One official stated that arrangements
are now being made for the general
call, and would be issued within a
few days.
At the time of the call of the border
states militia several weeks ago con-
idential instructions were issued to all
militia commanders to be ready for
early service on the border. The pass
of the Hay-Chamberlain army bill and
its signing by President Wilson since
that date now makes the militia avail
able for duty inside Mexico.
Reports to the adjutant generals Of
flee here show that nearly all militia
organizations are re-enlisting men and
officers under the joint oath Of allie
glance to the state and federal gov
ernment as required by the bill which
becomes effective July l.
News of the threat Of General Pre-
vino against Americans has resulted
in the administration not of refusal
to withdraw the troops being held up
at the state department.
Secretary Lansing announced today
that the note would not be dispatched
at present 1t was planned to send it
last night

LIGHT RATE
REDUCED BY
TWO CENTS

INDIANAPOLIS, June 17.-Farmers
living between Richmond and New
Paris and Richmond today gained a
reduction in electric light rates, at
the hands of the Indiana public utili.
ties commission, of cents a kilowat
hour.
The commission in its order reduced
the rate from 13 to II cents, and al
lowed a discount Of 1 per cent on
bills paid within ten days after the
first Of the month. The commission
also decided that where two or more
consumers receive electricity through
a single transformer the minimum
charge shall be 81 month, and where
only one customer is served through
a single transformer the minimum
rate shall be So month.
This ruling effects the Liberty Light
and Power company, which operates
a line between Richmond and New
Paris, the company purchasing its cur
rent from the Richmond municipal
plant. Robert Ashe is president of the
company, and he petitioned for the
rate reduction. The ruling effects
about twelve consumers.

fects she never fully recovered.

cinnati five years, after which she

LEGAL BATTLE
RACES ABOUT
RATE ON GAS

One Of the stiffest fights the city
of Richmond has yet engaged in its
long war for the reduction of public
utility rates will be staged next Tues
day at indianapolis before the Indiana
Public Utilities commission in connect
ion with the effort of the local natural
gas utility, the Light, Heat e. Power
company's petition for an increase In
gas rates from 40 to 70 cents.
This case will be given a hearing by
the commission on Tuesday. Briefs in
the case were submitted by both the
city and company some weeks ago.
This week the commissions engf-
neers filed an appraisal report Of the
company's property, establishing for it
present value Of $4os, 900, or some
$30o,o less than the present value
claimed by the company.
At the meeting the attorneys for the
company will attack the valuation es-
tablished by the company engineers,
which is not sufficient to justify a 80
cent rate increase, contending that
many Items were omitted by the en-
gineers when establishing the vaIua-
ton.
City Attorney Bond will contend that
even the commission engineers vaIu-
alton Is excessive and will insist that
the rates operative are all the com.
pany is entitled to.

SCHOOL GIRLS
TEAR DEFENSE
PLEA TO PIECES

WAUKEGAN, Ill.,, June 17-Martan
Lambert's school girl friends, came in
to Lake county court here today and
proceeded to knock to pieces the
theory advanced by Will Orpet's attor.
neys that Marian committed suicide in
a fit of despondency.A
Sixteen girls, classmates Of Marian
Lambert, themselves graduated only
two nights ago, followed one another
on the witness stand and promptly
stated that Marian never appeared to
them anything but the happy carefree,
heart-whole school girl that the prose
cution of Will Orpet has painted.
Their testimony directly opposed
that given last week by Josephine
Davis, chum of the dead girl, who with
Marian made up what was known as
"eighteen bunch"
The Davis girl came to the aid of
Orpet in startling fashion when after
being subpoened by the state she testi-
fled for the defense that Marion was
given to fits of dependency and had
threatened to kill herself IL Orpet did
not marry her.
Her testimony was calculated by the
young students attorneys to go far
in clearing him Of the charges that he
murdered her 1t was this testimony
that he murdered her. 1t was this
testimony that the girls of the "eigh-
teen bunch" came to court today to de-
stroy if possible.

FOR RELIEF FUND

Buy a fag?" she asked him sweet
ly, holding before him a miniature,

Surely your flag is worth a nickle

she had added the ive-cent piece to
her already large collection.
But, as a rule, the members of the
Woman's Relief corps experienced
very little difficulty in disposing of the
flags they offered for sale today in
the business districts, and quite fire.
quently they received much more than
a hve-cent piece for the coat-lapel edi-
tions of "Old Glory"
The fund raised from the sale OF
these flags will be used for relief work

war, who are in need of assistance

AEROPLANE MEETING
PLANNED FOR CITY

With the failure of the plans for a
centennial celebration in Richmond
this year, Richmond merchants have
become interested, and at a meeting
held Friday afternoon plans were dis
cussed Of holding some sort of a cele-
bration this fall.
A representative Of an aeroplane
concern suggested a three-day aero
plane meet be held. This is being
taken under consideration.
The celebration will probably be
held some time in September, E. NJ.
Haas, secretary of the Commercial
club said today. The exact nature of
it has only been tentatively outlined
by the business men, and no definite
announcement would be made today.
