One of Their Objects Is to Se

Station Options Secured
In Several Cities.
There will be local interest in the
following dispatch in view of the re
ports so persistent that the electric
light trust is after the Richmond Mu
nicipal plant:
Anderson. Ind.. Mai' 11. That the
Electric light Syndicate, with head
Quarters in New York is getting a hold
in Indiana, developed here today, when
articles of association were filed by
the Central Indiana Lighting company
with a capital stock of $3.000,000 $2.
,X common and $1,000,000 prefer
red. William II. Wherry, Jr., John
W. Tobin and Ivan L. Meloon, all of
JCew York, are the Inncorporators.
The Central Indiana company is a
liranch or subsidiary of the National
Heat, Light and Tower company, of
New York city, whose business is es
tablishing, leasing or buying electric
light and power plants, and it is
financed by the Knickerbocker Trust
Company, of New York. Mr. Wherry,
it is stated. i3 a director in the Nation
al company, and Mr. Tobin is a junior
partner of A. H. Bickmore & Co., of
New York city, brokers for the stock
of the National Heat, Light and Power
Company.
The National company operating in
Indiana and Illinois as the Central
Light company, has acquired several
plants, and at this time is operating
?ight plants at Ta.vlorsville, Jersey
ville, Robinson, Charleston, Paris, and
Pana. III.: Lexington and Marshall.
""Mo.: Hoosack Falls, N. Y.; Bennington,
Twin City and Battleborough, Vt.
In Indiana the National company,
through the Central Lighting company,
"has options on the lighting plants vt
Shelbyville, Columbus, Elwood and
Fairmount. It has figured some oil
buying the leases and light plants at
SSunimitville and Alexandria. It was
explained today, however, that th
Central company is most concerned In
Indiana in getting a central power sta
tion to supply its light plants in Indi
ana and eastern Illinois , and it is
probable an immense power station
will be built in the Indiana coal fields
to supply electricity to the various
plants that the Central company wi!lj
control or own.
was noticed before it could gain much
headway and the fire department
promptly extinguished it. Adams and
the members of his family were at
the circus and on their return home
were greatly excited to learn that the
house had been visited by Chief Mil
ler and his fire fighters during their
absence. The blaze first set fire to the
stand on which the lamp was stand
ing, then spread to" the carpet. The
damage was slight.
Were Few Arrests.
There were not many arrests made
during the day and all that were
gathered in by the police were slated
under the charge of drunk. Owing to,
the fact that it had been reported to
the Chief Bailey that "dips' were fol
lowing the circus and had made big
hauls at Springfield, O., he took the
precaution to keep the entire force
on duty yesterday. Up to Saturday
evening only one case of pocket pick
ing had been reported. At the show
Miller, Ed Steb and John Costing were
arrested for intoxication. Eli Speed
was gatnered in ior tms onense on
North D street and Frank Wilson was
arrested at the P. C. C. & St. L. rail
road.

Without its incidents. Nothing very
unusual took place, however. Satur
day afternoon a farmer and his wife
seated in a phaeton near the corner
of Sixteenth and Mainstreets furnish
ed some excitement. A street car
frightened the horse which promptly
bolted east on Main street. At the
corner of Seventeenth and Main
street the nag climbed the bank which

jicrth side of the street. In executing
this perilous stunt the farmer and his
wife were dumped out of the phae

tames of the occupants are unknown.

The county commissioners at their
meeting Saturday, considered the ad
visability of bringing suit against ex
Sheriff Richard Smith to recover about
$rW paid him for ins and outs fees
while in office. On consultation with
County Attorney John F. Robbins, ac
tion was deferred until Monday when
the commissioners will meet again and
decide definitely on the proper steps
to pursue.
Last year after the appellate court
had reversed its first decision ani
handed down the opinion that the pay
ment of ins and outs fees to sheriffs
was an illegal procedure, the commis
sioners of this county asked Mr. Smith
to return the money paid to him for
ins and outs fees. Mr. Smith, it is
stated, promised to do so, but asked
for lime to make the payment. It has
been some months since he made this
request of the commissioners, but up to
the present time he has neglected to
reimburse the county.
Mr. Smith left recently for Topeka
Kansas, to visit his brother, Peter
Smith, and it is stated that he in
formed a local attorney before leavin
that he intended to return the amount
which had been voluntarily paid him
by the commissioners. It is probable
that the commissioners will decide to
inform Mr. Smith that unless he makes
a prompt payment, suit will be brought
to recover the money.
Unthank's Fees O. K.
The amount received by ex-Sheriff
Charles R. Unthank for ins and ouis
fees cannot be recovered by the com
missioners. When Mr. Unthank pre
sented his claim for ins and outs fees
it was refused by the commissioners.
Mr. Unthank then brought suit in tho
circuit court to recover this amount
and Judge Fox rendered an opinion fa
vorable to Mr. Unthank. This opia-
ion was never appealed by the county,
but shortly after it had been rendered!
the appellate court gave its first de
cision on the ins and outs fees ques
tion, which held that the payment of
such fees was legal. Under this de
cision of the appellate court, Mr. Un-
Coach Cayou's warriors of much In
diana fame, made good their threats
that they woud walk off with the In
diana College Athletic League track
meet held Saturday at Crawfordsville
and piled up a total of 62 1-2 points
against Earlham's 4S. Rose Poly was
minus "the terrible Turk," and as a
result succeeded in lauding two and
one half points. The entire meet re
solved itself into a duel affair between
Wabash and Earlham.
White of Earlham won two firsts
and one second. Smelser won two
firsts, one on the hammer throw and
one on the discus hurl. The other
Earlham point winners were scatter
ed. Wann, who has long been the
pride of the Quaker school in the dis
tance runs, met defeat at the hands
of the crack runners representing the
scarlet.
Earlham was hopeful of winning the
meet, but Wabash made good previous
threats, much to the dismay of com
peting schools.

Harry Beard, of Cambridge City,
whom the police claimed had imbibed
too freely in the bowl that cheers, was
arrested at the eorner of Eighth and
Main streets last night. He is being
held on the charge of plain drunk,
but there is a probability of a stronger
charge being placed against him, as it
is stated by several persons who" were
coming in on the car from the circus
grounds, that Beard- was throwing
red pepper into the faces of those
seated near him. He was very noisy
and while cutting a few fancy "didos"
it is claimed that, he threw some pep
per Into the face of Mrs.- Richard
Schillinger who happened to be seat
ed near him. -
Beard s irienas claim that he was
not drunk at the time of his arrest,
and that he bears a good reputation
in his home town. They stated that
they were having a little harmless
fun and the police should not have
taken the action they did in regard to
the matter.
He was retained in the city bastile
last night and bond may be furnished
him this morning.

The ruling made by the county com
missioners while ex-Sheriff Richard
Smith was in office, that the services
of the sheriff would not be required at
the sessions of the county commis
sioners court Is still in . .effect. Not
withstanding, this .ruling Sheriff Mer
edith reports each time the commis
sioners' court convenes and each
month he presents his claim for fees
due him for attending the sessions of
this court. None of these claims have
yet been allowed, but Sheriff Meredit.1
states that he is legally entitled to
such fees and will insist that they bd
allowed him.
The state law plainly states
Anderson Carried Away the
Cup, Not Only for the Most
Points Secured, But Also
For Relay Race.
Richmond high school track team
went down In defeat Saturday at An
derson, In the triangular meet held
between the high schools of Marion,
Anderson and Richmond. Allison for
Richmond was the "whole show,"
making seventeen of Richmond's
thirty points.
He was the star of the meet by
long odds, and other schools practical
ly conceded him each event which he
entered, although he won only two
firsts. His two seconds and one third
tended to raise Richmond's colors
from the dust. He broke the state
high school record for the 220 yard
hurdles, making the distance in 27
4-5 seconds.
Anderson won the meet, making a
total of forty-nine points. Marion
made thirty-eight. Anderson won both
the meet and relay cups, it being the
first time this trick has been turned
since the meets between the schools
have been held.
The Richmond team went to Ander
son woefully weak, and both the mem
bers of the team and the home sup
porters did not expect to land a high
place, but they certainly did not ex
pect to land at the bottom both in
the meet and relay race.
The lack of practice is given as the
reason for the locals' defeat although
they are still cheerful and say that
what they lost this year will certainly
be made up next.

each session of the county commis

sheriff and the county auditor. The
law allows the sheriff a fee of $2 for
every session of the commissioners'
court. The action of the commission
ers in dispensing with the services of
the sheriff at court sessions is said to
be illegal. The action was taken for
economical reasons. Former Sheriff
Smith bowed to the ruling of the com
missioners, but Sheriff Meredith re
fuses te do so. He states that he
does not seek any money which he is
not clearly entitled to, but he states,
he is entitled to fees for attending
commissioners' court sessions.

Messina, Sicily, May 11. New crat
ers have opened in Mt. Etna and Mt.
Stromboli. whose eruptions are increas

Catania continue to register earth
shocks, but they are very light.
The alarm of the population of this
island is growing, especially among the
inhabitants of the villages in the lux
uriant zone, around Mt. Etna, although
the director of the Catania observatory
which is not far from the volcano,
has assured the people that they are in
no danger. The smoke and flames is
suing from the main crater of Mt. Et
na are visible for a long distance.
Part of the main crater of Strom
boli has fallen in, causing a more act

ed the sea. which is most agitated
near the island. Scientists have ex
pressed the opinion that pusibly a
submarine crater may have opened,
and that it is causing th aquatic disturbance.
Policemen on Lookout.
The patrolmen were instructed by
Sergeant Betzold to keep a close look
out last night for crooks, as rumors
were circulating over the city that
pickpockets and other "shisters" and
other customary circus crooks were
at work throughout the city, and es

Saturday afternoon In the soclcf?"

cultural and Horticultural society
was held. The president, Isaac Dou
gan, occupied tho chair. Reports on
the condition of crops, fruits, etc.,
were made.
Under agriculture, CapL Wm. H.
Lough gave quite an extended report.
He reviewed the condition of wheat,
for the past two months which indi
cated that the wheat harvest through
out this section will fall below an av
erage crop, and many farmers who
have been expecting a large yield,
may not get over one half or two
thirds of the yield of last year. A
singular condition shown is that ou

poorer than on the thin, clay sub-soil
lands.
Although much of the grass ceeit
sown during the early winter and lato
spring, was destroyed a considerable
amount of the latest tsown clover la
believed to be safe owing to its elow-
nees In germination.
Government's Estimate.
Frank Clark, supplemented hla re
port and added that the government's
estimate of an average wheat crop Is
placed at 82 per cent which caused
a fluctuation in the markets ou Us an
nouncement from Washington, of
three cents on a bushel. Mr. Clark
however, did not place much credence
In these reports, as they are so often
misleading:. He has also been inform
ed that weather conditions through
out the spring wheat belt have been
most unfavorable, which will tend also
to reduce the number of bushels at
harvest time.
