MISS EMMA JOHNSON TO
BEGIN FIGHT FOR PRIZE.
Expected That Popular Milli
ner at Miss Nolder's Store
Will Give Miss Hershey an
Interesting Race.
Watch out for surprises during the
coming week in the Palladium and
Sun Telegram Jamestown Exposition
contest. The way in which, the candi
dates aro jockeying with their votes
would do credit to a derby race. Every
one seems to be playing for an advan
tage, gome" are holding off their votes
as long as possible, some are getting
ready to make a flourish and scare
the competing candidates, while oth
ers are working hard and saying not a
word. With the two weeks over,
w hich time it was felt would be neces
sary to get the contest well under
way, the fight may now be expected
to be carried fiercely to the finish.
Two classes are not as full of candi
dates as had been hoped for, but sev
eral people who, are not listed in the
vote at all are already soliciting the
support of friends, and next week will
6ee a number of new names in the con
tost. , Large Country Vote.
A large country vote came in today,
too late to be compiled for this even
ing's paper. Much work was done by
candidates among the country people
today. (' Hi fry subscribers general
ly take the paper by the year and sev
eral of the candidates are relying on
this means of support.
The teachers race still eclipses ev
erything else in the . contest. Miss
ands and Mis. Lashley are running
a close rs.ee in the woman's class
while the head trio among the men
Is now composed of Profs. Davis, "Wis
pier and Eichter, all well bunched.
Miss Emma Johnson has yielded to
the request of her friends that she
take up the rare in earnest. She is
now preparing to make a strong bid
for the honor and it is expected that
next week she will be close on Miss
Hershey who has led the women
clerks from the start. '

ARGUMENT HEARD
Oil VALIDITY OF
TWO CENT LAW
Suit in Equity to Test Consti
tutionality of This Measure
Is Rapidly Advanced by the
Indiana Federal Court.
FUTURE OF SIMILAR
MEASURES IS INVOLVED.
It Is Alleged in Argument by
Attorneys for the Plaintiff
That the Law Is Confisca
tory in Its Operations.
Indianapolis, April 20 Judge An
derson in the Federal court today re
fused to grant a restraining order in
the action brought by the railroads to
prevent enforcement of the two-cent
fare law. Hearing on a motion for
permanent injunction will be heard
later.
Indianapolis, April 20. In the fed
eral court here today argument was
heard by Judge Anderson in the suit
in equity filed to test the constitution
ality of the 2-cent-fare law enacted by
the last legislature. The suit was
brought by Anna M. Boyle, of Jeffer-j
son county, Ky., a holder of stocks and
bonds of the Louisville, New Albany
& Corydon Railroad company. In
terest attaches to the suit inasmuch
as it is thought to be backed by the
Southern, Louisville & Nashville anl
Queen & Crescent railroads. J. Pier-
pont Morgan is said to have advised
that the suit be instituted.
Th defendants named in the bill of
complaint are Union B. Hunt, Charles
V. McAdams and William J. Wood,
constituting the roailroad commission
of Indiana; James Bingham, attorney
general; J. W. Ewing, prosecuting at
torney for the third judicial circuit of
Indiana: and the Louisville, New Al
bany tV. Corydon Railroad company.
It was asked that the Louisville,
New Albany & Corydon railroad be
enjoined from carrying out the pro
visions of the new act by cLliging a
rate of 2 cents a mile and that the
other defendants be enjoined from en
forcing the provisions of the act
fasrainst the railroad eonmanv. Thei
argument today had to do with the
granting of a temporary injunction.

Fate Elsewhere Involved.
Inasmuch as the fate of the 2-cent-rate
laws in this and other states is
involved, modern legal talent was call
ed upon to produce the best it had to
offer. No attempt was made by At
torney Blakly to deny that he wished
the case to be carried from the court in
this city to the United States Court of
Appeals in Chicago, thence to the Su
preme Court of the United States, that
a decision might be reached without
delay on the question of paramount ini-

HERE SHOWN
Horrible and Sickening Disr
covery Made When Jersey
Cow Was Butchered on Fri
day at the Holzapfel Place.
NEED FOR INSPECTION
SHOWN TO FULLEST.
Animal Reeked With Tubercu
losis Germs and Could Easi
ly Have Found Its Way onto
Market Milk Inspection.
Veritably reeking with the flrcaft
symptoms of tuberculosis, the entrails
diseased beyond almost all recognition
and eaten away with the horrible pro
cesses characteristic of the disease, a
medium aged Jersey cow was killed
at the Holzapfel slaughtering estab
lishment on Liberty avenue Friday
noon, which was by far, the worst cu?
city officials have had to deal with
since tuberculosis was first found iu
the cattle of Wayne county.
The conditions which existed and
which were revealed after the animal
was killed, were horrible beyond d.
scription. The lungs were completely
filled with matter, while little hard tu
bercles filled with the same. were,
prominent over the exterior lining of
the lungs. The lining next to the
lungs wa3 grown fast-to the ribs anl
it wa3 this that gave the butchers and .
Livestock Inspector PrJIeck, the first
intimation that something vas wrong.
The liver and lights were in the sam
indescribable condition and although,
butchers are supposed to have little
squeammishneps after lutiherlcK cat-
tie for a number of years, the condK
tions exposed in this Instance, sicken
ed them. One butcher who lias been
in the bushie?s.gr,anun4ber of yeax$..
and who is now connected with thrt
Holzapfel plant, htated that-', wai tho
most horrible fright , he had -seen fcincu
he had been butchering in Richmond.
Many times before, he said, ho bad dls.
covered boils on the livers of cattle,
but never had such conditions been re
vealed In the lungs and other entrails
as were exposed Friday.
Passed O. K. on Foot.
The tow -.as purchased by Charles
Haller, tho Linden avenue butcher,
from a prominent slock farm in this
county, and was driven to the slaugh
ter house Friday morning. When it
passed before the gaze of City Live
stock Inspector Pardieck.he jessed tho
row as O. K. on foot, but later stated
that at the time, he was rather dubi-,
ous of the good condition of the anl-.
mal. In addition to being rather old,
she did not show altogether proper ex
terior conditions, although many haves
hfe3 butchered of the same kind. 'Mr.',
Pardieck is efficient when It comes to ,
judein? animals on foot, and is one C
the best men in this line in the county.
but he thought the animal would pass

and he let the Jersey go into

when only a fraction of an inch ' be
neath the lining, found a large tu
bercle filled with matter. He then
called Dr. Bond, who went to the
slaughter house and had-the lungs cut
open. Matter gushed forth la pro
fusion and completely sickened both
men. Never before had such a sight
been witnessed at any of the local
slaughterhouse--, although many have
been found. The esse teemed certain,
there bing no Ooutt, that it was tu
berculosis, but to make sure. Dr. Wag
goner, of the Richmond abattoir, local
government inspector, was called, and
he had scarcely glanced at the lungs
and entrails, when he pronounced it
tuberculosis in the worst form. ThH
was enough for Dr. Bond, and he im

animal that it could not be placed on
