CRIS EVANS ONCE BOLD BANDIT,
 DIES IN PEACE

PORTLAND, Saturday, Feb. 1O.- Cris Evans, one of the most notorious train robbers in the west in the early '90'S when he was a partner with John Sontag, died here today.
 Evans had been out on parole for a number of years and lead an ex- emplary life.
 Sontag and Evans lived in the vi cimity of Fresno, California, and af- ter some differences between Evans and the railroad officials he turned bandit. For some time his connection with the train robberieS was not known and when the sheriff of Fresno county heard that Evans was suspect ed he refused to believe it as they had been friends. "Ill go right out and see Cris," said the sheriff, and those were his last words for as he ap- preached the Evans residence he was shot dead. From then o1 it was a fight to the finish and in the final battle Sontag was killed and Evans fearfully wounded

was advanced to leading man and then to director, having been engaged by the directors of the World Film to star, direct and write exclusively for World productions in the future.
 The story of "The Social Highway man" is that of Curtis Joffray, whose boy ideal is Claude DuVal, who stole from the rich to give to the poor. Curtis was the offspring of a mesalli- ance which resulted in his being brought up in such bitter poverty that his mother, before his birth, was driven to thievery to obtain food. When Curtis reached the age of twelve the parents were mortified at the discovery that he had inherited through prenatal influences a tend ency to steal. How in later years, when he inherited the title and estates of his grandfather, the fashionable stratum of society is startled by a series of daring thefts, his social sec retary kills the Countess Rosi, his wife who deserted him in fornlNr years, and later kills himself, declar- ing in his dying words, that he com mitted the mystifying thefts, is all .excellently portrayed in this melo- drama in which is interspersed one of the sweetest romances ever filmed. It is a sociological play different from the rest and one that is bound to please.

COMMENCE ON WARM STORAGE
 FOR PRODUCE:

To provide warm storage for per- ishables a structure with double walls 30 by 40 feet will be erected on the U. S. railroad dock just south of the present warehouse.
 A crew of carpenters commenced work on the structure this morning.
 When this is complete protection will be provided for all produce for transfer to westward as we'll as for local delivery, so that boats can dis charge at anytime during the winter without danger of the perishables freezing before deliveries can be made to local merchants. Under the present and past system the Alaska Transfer company had to have its teams out in sufficient force to handle the produce as it was landed during the cold snaps.

Warning that if meat prices are
high they will be higher because live
stock prices necessarily will be
higher were contained in a review
of the livestock markets of the coun-
try by Clay, Robinson & Co., which
stated; There is no doubt that we
are killing our beef faster than we
are producing II and it surely can
have but one meaning and that is
continued high, if not in fact, higher
prices" The need for the ''baby
beef contests, aided by the house is
suing the review, is shown.
while liquidation continues liber-
al" the review adds, Eat the same
time receipts are not running as
heavy as year ago. This can have
only one meaning and that is that
available supplies are decreasing and
that a shortage is developing with
out doubt. The tendency to turn the
stock off in Indifferent flesh on &C
count Of high market values and
high producing costs mean of course
that the average beef animal today
does not carry as much actual meat
as the average beef animal a year
ago.

CIVIL SERVICE
BILL OPPOSED
BY THE S0L0NS

City Attorney Bonds bill providing
civil service for officers of municipality
owned utilities under the supervision
OF the Indiana Public Utilities Com
mission. came up for hearing yester-
day before the cities and towns COM
mittee of the house of representatives,
but only two committee members were
present. ;.
They indicated. it is said, that they
did not favor the bill. Vigorous op-
position to the measure was expressed
by representative of the recently or
ganlzed league of officials of publicly
owned utilities Mr.. Bond spoke in
behalf of the measure
Rate Regulation Not Favored.
Following hearing last night it was
said that the Senate committee on cor
porations probably will make an unfa-
vorable report on the Negley bill to
regulate the rate to be charged by wa
ter companies for the use of automat-
ic sprinkler systems in factories,
stores, etc. The average flat rate for
such systems in Indianapolis is from
$50 to $40, while the rate at Rich
mond, as fixed by the Public Service
Commission, averages about $3.50 a
year. Richmond manufacturers pro-
posed the bill. Speaking in opposition
to the bill last night were H. A. Dill of
the Richmond Water company, Dow
K. GWynn of Terre Haute and NJ. S.
Blish of Seymour Those speaking for
the bill included F. NJ. Smith of the In
diana Manufacturers association. J.
l.. Rupe of Richmond, B. Elsey of In
dianapolis and Adam H. Bartel of
Richmond. The sentiment of the COM
mittee seemed to be that the question
is one for the Public Service Commits
sion to decide and that statutory
enactment is not needed.

From 1905 to 1915 the Red Cross has
expended s13,5o0,000 for relief work.

First Aid class is most essential as it
battles with the rougher elements to
reach the unfortunate victims of any
calamity.
The Red Cross can be Of great serv-
