TREATMENTS HIGH WAGES.

When I note from 10 reports
made to the IntcrS ate Com
MERGE Commission that these
men receive average yearly
wages so per cent higher than
those OF all other railway cnl-
ploycs, and practically double
those OF the average American
wagc-workcr. It occurs to mo
that they at least have less
cause for complaint than most
others. When I consider that
the average locomotive engineer
has an income of over $1,000
q year, and that most Of tho
engineers who have been long
in service make from $4,000
to $1,000 4 year, and when T
compare their hours, labor ana
responsibilities with those OF
the average small merchant.

ANDERSON, Ind, April S.-Mrs.
Ethel Smell, %. has filed petition in
circuit court for the annulment of her
marriage in 1912 to a man who gave

and that she did not recognize him as
her brother and that he persuaded her

was her brother.
Shortly after they were married, he
was arrested on a statutory charge and
after serving term at Jeffersonville,
married a Louisville woman without
being divorced from his sister-Wife
Later he was convicted of larceny and

ASKED SPACE

An unqualified denial Of having
been approached by auto truck drivers
to obtain a station in the business
rooms of Jones & Williams, agricul-
tural implements. on South Sixth
street, was made today by F. M. Jones
of the firm.
Mr.. Jones said he wanted his posi-
ton made clear to. the public in the
following statement:
I'VE are in the agricultural and
farm implement business and not in
the auto truck business. We have not
been approached by driver to give
over part of our store room for a
hack station. In fact, we cannot spare
room for that purpose. We are not
interested in the truck business, but
are selling farm implements and we
intend to stick to that line. We are in
nowise concerned about the truck
business. We hope that forty truck
lines will soon be operating in and
out of Richmond. We hope that this
statement will be taken as an un-
qualified denial of the reports that
we are trying to open a truck station
in our building"
