TRACTION line
SUES FOR RIGHTS
TO LIFT TRACKS

When officials of the T. H.. l. & e.
Traction company were informed yes
terday that county commissioners had
ordered the county attorney to bring
an Injunction suit to prevent the com.
pany from raising its tracks along the
National road In Wayne county, they
Immediately filed a petition with the
Public Service commission asking per-
mission to elevate their tracks.
County commissioners received
summons from the Public Service COM
mission today to appear before that
body, November 10, when the petition
will be heard.
Declares Step Necessary.
In it's petition the traction company
declares the only safe way it has to
reballast tracks between here and In
dianapolis is to elevate them seven or
eight inches. The company agrees in
its petition to make suitable provisions
where tracks cross the road and where
they run down the center of the village
streets.
The county will fight the petition on
the ground that the franchise which
the company holds provides that tracks
shall not be any higher than the roads
surface
Attorney Hoelscher will probably de.
mand restraining order Immediately
TO prevent the traction company from
continuing the work which has already
been commenced. Unless the company
is restrained, it could have many miles
of it's tracks elevated before the
petition Is considered.

Gerard STRONG
GERMAN FORCE
WANTS SUB WAR

SHADOW LAWN, N. j., Oct. "a
Ambassador James w. Gerard had
luncheon with President Wilson today.
The main object OF the visit Of the
American ambassador to Shadow
Lawn is believed to have been to lay
before the president the fact that there
is a strong and powerful element in
Germany urgently clamoring for re-
sumption of ruthless" submarine war
fare, but that this element is not yet
strong enough to control the situation.
The ambassador also was expected
to tell Mr.. Wilson of certain peace sug-
gestions which reached him through
unofficial channels while he was in
Berlin. The suggestion, however, ac-
cording to sources close to the am
bassador, are not of such a nature as
to lead to any action on the part of
the administration.

weeks intervening until the election. c.
E. Hughes, the Republican presidential
nominee, will renew his campaign
drive" tonight following a three days
rest. Mr.. Hughes spent the morning
