TEMPER SENDS MAN
BEHIND BARS AGAIN

Because of his uncomfortable temp
er William Lewis, an aged colored
man, will probably have to go back to
the Michigan City Penitentiary to
spend the remainder of his days. AS
Lewis has tuberculosis he probably
will not have long to live after he
goes behind the grim prison walls
again.
Lewis. who was released on parole
last August, made a vicious attack
upon Martin L. Rowe in the Mather
Brothers coal yard yesterday, attempt
ing to strike him with a sledge ham,
mer.
About three year, ago Lewis, while
working in a sewer. trench, became
involved in a quarrel with a fellow
workman, Joe Dickey, colored. He
struck Dickey over the head with a
shovel, killing him.
Yesterday Martin L. Rowe, yard
master, reproved him for not doing his
work as he had been instructed. 1t
is stated that Lewis seized sledge
hammer and pursued Rowe about the
coal yard. Rowe succeeded in getting
into the office before Lewis could hit
him. A few minutes later Lewis en-
tered the office sobbing his repent
ance. However, he was arrested on a
charge of assault and the prison offic-
ials have been notified of his parole
violation.

NO DECISION EXPECTED
IN GAS RATE APPEAL BY
UTILITY COMMISSION

INDIANAPOLIS, March 17.-EXpect-
ancy that the public service commits
sion would render a decision without
delay in the petition of the Richmond
Light, Heat and Power company to
increase rates for gas service in Rich
mond has failed to materialize, and at
present, according to the opinion of
commissioners, there is every posi-
bility the commission will not render
any decision in the case.
Recently City Attorney Bond con-
ferred with the commission. and dur
ing the conference the question of
gas rates was preached, according to
one of the commissioners. At that
conference, Bond offered the sugges-
ton that officials of the company and
city officials might come to an under
standing satisfactory to the patrons
of the gas company if they were not
hampered by persons who insisted up
on connecting themselves with the
case, regardless of their knowledge
of it.
CAS- far as I know concerning that
case, there has been no information
presented to the public service COM
mission which would result in the
commission reaching a decision" said
one of the commissioners. at is the
understanding at present that the city
and the company will reach an agree
ment and that as a result of this agree
ment rates will be fixed which will be
during this emergency.
Following the fixing of this agree
ment, it is expected petition will be
filed and rates fixed permanently"
If city officials of Richmond agree
this is the status of the case. it is
not expected there will be any further
developments before the public service
If it is necessary to
evaluate the plant of the company to
fix the rates for gas, it probably will
be some time before this can be &C

DAVIS AUTO COMPANY
MAKES RAPID GROWTH

Attention has been called to the
steadily increasing business of the
Davis Motor Car company.
This company, which was estab-
lished in 1902 by George w. Davis,
its president, has now reached point
where 1t can be classed among the
the United States.
In fact. besides having a great
quantity of sub-dealers in all the cities
throughout our country they are rep
resented by general distributors in the
principal centers, as Omaha. Minnea-
polls, Chicago, st. Louis, San Fran
cisco. Los Angeles, Indianapolis, Co.
lumbus, O.. Springfield, ILL.,. Pitts
burgh, New York. Philadelphia, Buff
falo. Rochester. Providence and Cleve-
land.
Set High Standard.
Wherever you go, you can find the
Davis cars which are keeping high the
standard of the reputation for quality
and distinction. The demand for such
beautiful car has grown to such an
extent that the Davis Motor Car COM
pany has been obliged to make spe-
cial arrangements and to double its

same.
In fact, not only are the Davis cars
well known in the United States, but
are also advertising the wonderful in
genuity of American manufacturers
throughout the entire world.
During the last part of 1915 the at
tention of the Davis people, who are
always alert for business, was called
to the wonderful opportunity they
would have to establish themselves
abroad and they decided to open an
export department. Being new to such
kind of business they did not hesitate
to engage the services of Mr.. Xavier
Chichon de Nice, a native of Paris.

resentative of the Prussian National
Company of Stettin, Germany. and
lately Foreign Sales Mgr. of the Hup

CITY WILL USE
SUBSTITUTE FOR
EXPENSIVE OIL

If property owners desire to have
this year by some bituminous material
instead of oil, the city will do the
work for them
THE price of oil having increased
approximately 100 per cent since last
year" Board President Bavis said to-
day suggests the ACCESSIBILITY of a
heavier application of bituminous
material instead of oil which can be
done at small additional cost A BIZ
be good for three years if not longer,
removing the annual Inconvenience of
securing signers to petitions. Such a
material would be as effectively dust
proof as oil, would do away with the
nuisance of tracking oil into homes,
prolong the life of the street so treat
ed and extend the date for permanent
improvement. In my judgment, the
treatment of streets with a bituminous
material would be much cheaper in
the end than the present process of
oiling''
Last year the city purchased oil for
297 cents per gallon. This year the
price is SIS cents.
A bituminous material can be ap-
piled to streets at a cost ranging from
Z to 10 cents per square yard. 1t will
cost approximately 5 cents per square
yard to put oil on streets this year
Petitions for having oil or bitumi-
nous fluid placed on street must be
filed with the board on or before April
II. The cost of the work must be
paid when the petitions are filed Es-
Inmates of cost for each proposed i'm
provement will be furnished when
blank petitions are applied for.
