At the beginning Of the present
session a bill appropriating $780,
900 for the expenses of the present
legislative session was passed by the
legislature and approved by me. This
appropriation OF 100000 does not
include the necessary funds for print
ing another bill having been passed
appropriating $4,000 for this pur-
pose. In relation to this deficiency
appropriation bill Of $4,000 feel
that I ought to call to your attention
the fact that at no previous session
OF the legislature since the state was
organized has there ever been ex-
pended 100000 for legislative ex-
penses. exclusive of printing. With
this bill approved. $4,000 would be
available for this purpose.
In checking over the figures show
ing expenses of previous sessions of
the legislature find that in 1897 the
amount expended for this purpose
was little over $4,000. In 1899 it
amounted to approximately $4,000
and in 1901 to less than $4,000.
After that time there was a rapid in
crease in the expenses of the legisla-
ture. but at no time has the amount
reached 100000.
Checks Over the Pay Roll.
In endeavoring to find the cause of
the increased cost at the present ses-
sion of the legislature have checked
over the figures covering its expenses.
These vouchers show that there are
80 employees on the house pay roll
and So employees on the senate pay
roll. The membership Of the house
is 81; the membership Of the senate
AZ. Therefore. the pay roll shows
that the house has one more employee
than there are members in that body
and the senate has 10 more employees
than its total membership.
On the house pay roll find %
stenographers, 33 clerks-this num-
Der not including the special depart
ment clerks-9 pages. S janitors, s
doorkeepers. also two sergeants-at-
arms and one law clerk. The sala-

NEW YORK, July 16.-The general
demand for help was not as great here
during the month of June as In May,
according to report made public by
the mayors public employment bu-
reau. In a general way the report
calls attention to the fact that too
many people are seeking clerical posi-
tions in the belief that the war VIII
take thousands of persons out OF bust
ness life.
The report also said the bureau had
assembled a large force of women
to take the places of men called to
war and that many seeking employ
ment were unaware of the vast army
OF clerks and executives for whom
there is no demand.
The report also said that many OF
these applicants were deprived OF a
livelihood because they refused to put
aside their pride and seek light fac
tory work.
In the agricultural and mechanical
trade lines the report says there IS
a steady demand for workers. Many
branches of summer resort trades also
offer employment for the season.

by recent rain, according to County
Commissioner Seaney. The wheat
fields Of the county, many of which
still are uncut. are still in good con.
dition. although the harvest has been

Many farmers in the northern part
of the county took advantage of the
sunshine yesterday and despite the
fact that 1t was Sunday, donned their
overalls and started cutting their
wheat.
Much hay has been ruined. however,
by the rains. although several fields
were saved by the clear weather yes
terday. The shortage made in the hay
crop by the wet weather will be felt
more than any other crop, farmers de-
clare, on account of the fact that the
majority Of the farms in the county
are under cultivation and the original
acreage in hay was much smaller than

Hero of Russia Was
Austrian Captive
Earlier in the War

NEW YORK. July 16.-It is not gen.
orally known that at one time during
the present war Lieut. Gen. L. G.. Kor.
niloff. whose victories in Galicia have
SO astonished the world. was an Aus.
trian prisoner Of war and that he es-
capped from Austrian captivity with
the aid of a Czech soldier, who himself
extended to his distinguished Slav
brother. The story of the escape was
made public here today by the Star
Press Bureau.
During the retreat of the Russian
Army from the Carpathians In the
spring Of 1915 Gen. Korniloff, then
commanding the rear guard, was cap
tured by the Austrians and interned in
Bohemia. In the summer Of 1916 he
managed to escape with the help Of a
Czech soldier, Frank Mrnak For sew
eral weeks the two fugitives were max
ing their way stealthily toward the
Roumanian frontier, hiding by day and
travelling by night. But one day In
August they were surprised by gen.
darmes. The general got away and
finally reached Russia, where the COM
manded the Petrograd garrison during
the revolution. Mrnak was wounded
and captured, and later sentenced by
.cour-martial In Pressburg to be shot.
1t had been the Czech soldiers In
tention to enter as a volunteer into
the ranks of the Czecho-Slovak Bri-
gade, which has been this time grown
into two divisions and has SO distin-
guished itself In the present Russian
offensive around Halicz That his
name and his heroic deed should not
be forgotten, the commander Of the
brigade issued an order to have
Mrnak's name inscribed on the roll of
Company A Of the First Regiment Of
sharpshooters. 1t was further ordered
that at every roll call, when Mrnak's
name is called, the sergeant of the
first squad shall answer: "Shot By
Hungarian court-nnartfal IN Pressburg
for saving Gen. Koruiloff."

(By Associated PreSs)
Although the movement OF the Rus

lofts big offensive in eastern Galicia
il being hampered by bad weather,
the Cossacks apparently have been
able to keep up their dashing tactics.
This is indicated by report from
Petrograd through Rome today that
the town Of Dolina has been occupied
by Russian forces. II this announce
ment proves accurate 1t means an ad-
vance Of more than 80 miles for the
Russians since the opening of the
drive south Of the Duiester, q week
ago.
The official report has placed them
nearly two-thirds of their distance
from their starting point, as Kalusz,
taken by Korniloffs troops last week,
Is some 20 miles from Stanislau,
which virtually was their place Of de-
parture.
Established on Lomnica.
At Kalusz the Russians are estab-
iished on the westerly banks of the
Lomnica whence the Austrians have
not been able to drive them although
heavy attacks have been launched in
the attempt. The route thence to
Dolina lies along the Stanslau-Stryj
railway line. An advance here means

MUNICIPAL PLANT
HAS EARNINGS OF
TWELVE PER CENT
Bavis and Kleinknecht See
no Reason for Rate Boost
Asked by Private Plants.

Earnings of the Richmond city
light plant amounted to approximate
ly twelve per cent on the investment
during the fiscal year ended June 80
despite the fact that the cost of pro
duction has advanced ten per cent,
Superintendent Kleinknecht said
Monday.
Superintendent Kleinknecht and
President Bavis, Of the board Of works,
declared the Indiana Electric Light AS
sociation, composed of light companies
operating In forty cities in the state
which has petiionec the state public
service commission for authority to
raise their rates thirty per cent Is

ions.

city officials are pointing out the
record of the municipality owned plant
here.
City Attorney Bond will represent
the forty cities Of the state who are
opposing the petition, when its comes
up for hearing next Monday, July %.
before the state commission.
The electric light association, in its
petition filed before the service COM
mission. claims that general operating
expenses have advanced from 45 to
so percent due to high prices of mate
rails used in the manufacture, and
particularly coal.
Earnings Far In Excess
Superintendent Kleinmecht esti-
mated that general operating expenses
Of the local plant have advanced ten
percent After allowing $4,000 for
depreciation and $4,000 for taxes,
thus putting the plant on the same
basis with q privately owned plant,
the earnings would still be far in ex-
cess OF the amount allowed privately
owned plants by the public service
|commission.
up to the present time the light
companies are not entitled to q raise
In rates, and in my opinion the state
commission would not be justified in
granting authority for a raise in
rates." Superintendent Keinknecht
said.
The earnings OF the plant for the fs-
cal year ending June 30 will be set out
in a report, now being prepared which
is sent the state commission, in ac-
cordance with the law.
