Electric Power Company Wants t
Come to Butler.

Thursday of last week L. X. Green
and John N. Goblet, representing the
Green power company, of Pleasant
Hill, were in the city comforting with
city officials in regard to extending
their line south from Adrian to But
Ter. The Green company has a big
power plant at Pleasant Hill with
lines leading out in each direction
from that city to supply the near by
towns with light and power.
Their line extends as far south as
Adrian and they are DESTROYS of run
ming south through Butler and will
make a contract to furnish light and
power to the city during breakdowns
of the municipal plant or when the
load is too heavy for the present
plant to handle. They also want the
privilege, of selling electricity to
some OF the heavy users.
Mr.. Green was in the city about
year, ago with like proposition, but
nothin- came of it and since that
time the company have extended
their line south to Adrian, which
town they supply with electricity.
Many taxpayers are of the opin-
ion that it would be much cheaper
to accept the Green proposition than
Il would be to make the repairs and
additions to The present plant that
are absolutely necessary to give first
class service.

PUNISH STDNING OF HUNS

Paris, June 18.-The demonstration
against members Of the German peace
delegation Monday evening, according
to the Petit Parisen, apparently had
its inception in the crowds interpre-
tation Of some gesture by a German
typist or secretary as a provocative
act.
The throwing of stones and bricks,
which struck two Germans, occurred
as the automobiles Of the Germans
passed through Chesnay, R~oquencourt
and Bailey, suburban points, on their
way to the railway station at Noisy
lie Roi. At Versailles the demonstra-
ton was confined to hooting and ieer-
ing.

All Of the recent bomb outrages

Mr.. Flynn said he could not say
when the next bomb outrage

but it will be cleared up"
Investigation has shown, Flynn said,
