Completion of the new 100000
nonastic home of the Sisters of
Our Lady of Mount Carmel is ex-
pected in 1882.
Construction of the two-story
stone building began in 1880 and
nine nuns of the orders will occupy
the building early in 1882.
Three of the nine nuns are nov
ices. The order, contemplative
Sisterhood that goes barefooted while
clustered, limits the nuns to each
of its converts to twenty-one. When
twenty-one have confessed their
final VOWS, new community or
monastery is necessary.
The present monastery of the Or
der is at New Albany under lead
ership of Venerable Mother Theresa
of the Trinity, prioress.
Replica of Spanish Buildings
The structure is replica Of
monasteries of the order which were
founded in Spain in 1870. But
seventeen of the orders have
monasteries established in the
United States.
Each monastery is individual in
control, without being dependent on
a mother convent.
The structure is built low into
the side of knoll and the monas-
tery's first floor will be below
ground in the front, but is at
ground level in the rear.
A large courtyard in the rear will
house statue. All floors will be
of stone.
A chapel, choir room, inf1rmary
and crypt will be other features Of
the structure.
Protested After Six Years
The Carmelites are divided into
two orders, Calced and Discalced.
Discalced means "barefooted" and
the order which will move here from
New Albany is "discalced" in be-
lief.
Sisters in the convent become
professed nuns after six years. The
monastery will have six professed
nuns.
Spiritual devotions, fasting, reci-
tation of the divine Offices, form
the days of those clustered in the
monastery.
The nuns care for the monastery,
bake altar bread for other parishes,
and make vestments.
A nun, known as, an extern, acts
as the monastery's only contact with
the outside world. The extern pur-
chases the food, deals with trades
men.
The Carmelites wear a brown
habit with white cloak and black
veil.
The monastery is on an 16-acre
tract of land, across the road from
the new United States Veterans
bureau hospital.
The contractors are Michaelis
Brothers ard the architects are j.
Edwin KopA g. Deery.

port of conditions out there Com
missioner George Snider indicated
little will be done to correct con-
ditions.
plans for erecting a temporary
frame structure to house men in
mates and relieve overcrowded
sleeping quarters will not be aban-
doned by commissioners, despite
Hogstons refusal to approve them.
Hogston objects because the new
dormitory is to be built alongside a
building condemned as a fire haz-
ard. He requested that the aban-
doned, dilapidated f1ve-story west
building at the farm be torn down.
Snider declared today that there
was no money to remove the aban-
doned structure" It has not been
used for five years.
Commissioners Snider and Dow
VorhieS say they will build the dor
mitory, as planned, but will not
connect it with the mems con-
demned quarters.
This will force inmates lodged
in the new structure to walk a
short distance through the rain and
snow, during the winter, to get
their meals, served in another
building.

Riddle just nosed out James I.
Farley of Auburn, declared, nom
mated on the first count, but who
was loser when the state canvass
ing board checked the vote.
Farley, it is declared, again will
enter the race.
Morley, also is contemplating
entering the field. Although a pro-
nounced dry, it is rumored he is
ready to recede and come out for
modification.
The two receiving the most favor
able mention at present are Fred
Wiecking of Bluffton, former state
commander Of the American Legion,
a McNutt adherent and who is said
to be receiving consideration from
R. Earl Peters, state chairman, and
James D. Adams, Columbia City
publisher, who is held in esteem.
Adams also is in high favor with
Peters and there is possibility that
one may withdraw. If the Columbia
City man gets out Of the field, he
will in all probability be doomed for
district chairman.
Harry Hilgeman Of Fl. Wayne,
who was defeated for the nominal
ton more than a decade ago by Cy
Klein, and w. E. Eickhoff. former
state representative from Allen
county, who was defeated for the
nomination in 1926, also are talked
about as possible seekers.
A fight for the congressional
nomination there may involve the
Peters and Lew Ellingham factions,
if the latter group attempts to place
in the running Samuel D. jackson
of TT. Wayne, nominee in 1928.

LIS spectacles perched precari-
i i ously upon his hawk-like nose,
Steve Fleming, veteran Democratic
war horse, blew into indianapolis
Thursday and Immediately en-
sconced himself in the Office of
Frank Mayr Jr., secretary Of state.
Steve has a perfect right to make
himself at home in Mayr's Office, for
it was he and Billy O'Neill, now
securities comm issioner, who
stemmed the Hamrick tide in the
Democratic state convention last
year and helped nominate Mayr.
Protesting loudly that he no long
er takes any interest in politics,
Fleming discussed the situation in
the new Fourth district, threw in
a few strongly favored reminis-
cences and went on his way feeling
much better.
Steve told how Harvey w. Morley,
Angola publisher, visited him the
other day and confessed himself
worn out from looking through
Steuben county for a horse strong
enough to haul a 81 worth of wheat.
Because of the gerrymander by
the last legislature, which placed
the Democratic Adams and Wells
counties in the Fourth district,
members of that party in the north
east corner of the state feel much
optimism as to the 1882 outlook.
So great is this feeling that al
ready there are more than dozen
contenders for the Democratic NOM
nation for congress in the field.
Prominent in the field, of course,
is Thomas P. Riddle of Ray, wet
nominee last year, who, despite the

HARD GOING
Rejection Forecast on Plea
for Authority to Serve
City'S Industries.
JURISDICTION IN DOUBT
Public Service Commission
Continues Hearing
Until Monday.

Thumped by the presiding COM
missioner, the petition of the Manu-
facturers' Natural Gas Association,
Inc, was given a respite when final
round of its hearing was due in the
house of representatives this morn
ing.
The hearing was continued until
Monday, when arguments on juris-
diction will be presented to be
heard by all public service commits
SionerS.
Commissioner Harry K. Cuthbert-
son, presiding, raised the jurisdic-
tional point at the start and,
through questioning of witnesses,
has sought to show that the COM
mission could not grant the petition.
Utility Powers Sought
Petitioners ask to be declared a
public utility and be given the right
to operate, as such, in the city of
Indianapolis. Their original plan,
modified slightly, was to enter the
city with natural gas from the Ken
lucky Natural Gas Company pipe
lines and sell to large manufactur-
erS, most Of whom already are under
contract.
This company does not contem-
plate serving the general public,
in my opinion, "Cuthbertson de-
clared in bringing the Thursday
afternoon hearing to an abrupt
close.
ut merely wants the public serv-
ice commission to declare it a pub
lie utility so that it will have the
right of eminent domain to tear up
streets and other properties to
serve the manufacturers with whom
it has contracted"
Social Aspects Seen
Unless a company offers general
service to all it can not be declared
a public utility, Cuthbertson has
contended from the start.
The commissioner took complete
charge of the questioning Thursday
afternoon with H. C. Atkins, presi-
dent of the petitioning company and
of E. c. Atkins & Co., on the witness
stand.
Cuthbertson, who has habit of
ignoring precedent and getting at
what he believes to be the point in
volved, injected the idea of social
significance into the matter.
BY series of questions he drew
from Atkins the admission that nat
ural gas is sought by his factory to
effect a speedup in production, low
er production costs ana increase
profits.
Objects Enlarged
at will not benefit labor greatly,
or the unemployed will it?" Cuth-
bertson queried.
Atkins answered that it is good
for every one to have business
prosperous and making more profit.
Natural gas would make Indianap-
oils a mecca for other manufac-
turers, and thus provide more jobs,
he also explained.
Another admission was that only
within the last twenty-four hours
had the petitioning company taken
any steps with the idea of making
its service general, rather than con-
filming it to the manufacturing group
with large consuming power.
1t was admitted also that these
changes were made to overcome the
objections on juriSdictional grounds.
