Chairman Asserts Compact and Aggressive Body Is Being ormed by People in Sympathy With Progressive Principles BEVERIDGE CLUB ORGANIZED Democratic armers Dissatisfied With Tariff Policies Expected to Vote for New Party Repub lican Cries Discounted Progressives of the Second Dis trict are perfecting one of the best or ganizations that can be found in Indiana said Dr Richards of Patricksburg the district chairman who was in In dianapolig yesterday make this state ment advisedly in view of the splendid organization work that Progressives are known to be doing all over the Dr Richards says the secret of the compact and aggressive body that is forming in the Second District lies in the Inherent spirit of Progressivism in the people and in their earnest desire to see the party the principles and the leader in Indiana Albert Beve ridge successful in the fall election Calls for volunteers in organization work met with a generous response and every where the militancy displayed is in marked contrast with the inertia of the old parties Township Tickets in ield addition to county tickets for which' there was a unanimous demand from the rank and file of the continued Dr Richards tickets are being put up everywhere in the district Monroe County is particularly "active Van Buren and Clear Creek Townships nomi nated tickets last week A Beveridge and Wilson Club has been formed at Indiana University Sentiment at the university is strong for the Progressives ully 85 per cent of the university faculty are Progressives candidacy of Judge James Wil son of Bloomington for Congress is a powerful influence in our favor Jiidge record of twelve years As a jurist and his ability as an orator cam paigner and mixed nave given new con fidence to Second District workers With the fighting organization that has been evolved with the inspiring leadership of Beveridge and Wilson with a Democratic split between pro Cullop and anti Cullop factions and with Republican apathy and helplessness more evident now than in 1912 Judge election is highly probable He will draw votes from all in dependent sources particularly from op ponents of the Taggart Democratic ma chine and his strength will be one of the surprises of Indiana politics this year Bland the Republican pongres sional is not to be considered seriously as a contestant for first or sec ond place Without local tickets in five counrltse of the district Mr Bland re ceived two years ago the votes of hundreds of Progressives but would not take the trouble to scratch their local ballot vote this year will go for Judge Wilson Nor can Mr Bland profit by possession of election machinery which his party had in 1912 Democratic armers Dissatisfied farmers in the Second District are dissatisfied with the tariff policies of the Wilson administration and manifestly they can not be expected to turn to the party whose last tariff meas ure the Payne Aldrich law amounted to extortion The tariff commission pro posals of the Progressive party as enun ciated first by Albert Beveridge in his valiant but vain effort to procure a commission when he was in the Senate is winning supporters for the party all over the district Republican effort to manufac ture sympathy for the cry is discounted by the increased Progres sive vote in municipal elections in 1913 while the members of that party who honestly believed in the regeneration of the party after the false and flamboyant stories sent to them from their state headquarters have been thoroughly dis illusioned by the character and volume of Progressive earnestness displayed at organization meetings The audience at Bloomington to greet Beveridge and Toner left them COMMISSION ASKED TO IX COMPENSATION OR POLES The Merchants Heat and Light Com pany yesterday petitioned the Public Service Commission to fix the compensa tion for the use of poles owned by one company and used jointly by another The Indianapolis Light and Heat Com pany the American Telephone and Tele graph Company the Central Union Tele phone Company and the Indianapolis Telephone Company are made parties to the petition The Merchants company represents that in making extensions which will be re quired in complying with its contract made recently with the city it must ex pend approximately $48224626 if it erects its own poles It estimates that the ex pense would be reduced to $35245529 if an arrangement is made for the joint use of poles already erected BRIDGE PLANS SUBMITTED Plans for the proposed West New York street bridge over While River were sub mitted to the board

his countrymen with great esteem HWlSOiRp MAY GOTO WORK County Commissioners Consider Sending Law Violators to Work house in Effort to Reduce Ex pense of Boarding Them COULD CUT COST ONE HAL Officials Cite Old Statute Which Gives Authority for Contem plated Several Gangs to Toil on Roads Thfc transfer of practically all prisoners serving sentence or fines In the County Jail to the Marion County Workhouse is being considered by the board of county commissioners The ac tion is contemplated because of the higher expense of boarding prisoners at the jail than at the Workhouse It costs the county approximately 40cents a day for the prisoners at the jail and for those at the Workhousef about one half that amount The statute the commis sioners the authority to transfer prison ers from the jail to the Workhouse is an old one It says that the commissioners may transfer any prisoner from the jail to the Workhouse at any time under whatever orders they desire to make and any person refusing to carry out the order is Hable to a fine of not less than $50 and sixty days' sentence in the Workhouse The transfer can be made only of prison ers who have been convicted avors Dally Transfer There are now abouf 150 prisoners in the jail and Sheriff Portteus says com paratively few of them have been con victed The Workhouse now has about 250 prisoners with a capacity of 450 men Commissioner Kitley said that the board is supposed to manage the funds to the best advantage and if there will be a saving he favors the transfer His idea is to keep the Workhouse filled near ly to capacity leaving only a small mar gin to accommodate those sentenced from the courts to the Workhouse daily The bills for boarding prisoners at the jail have been much higher this year than last and last year they were higher than the year before The record bill for years was paid the sheriff in July when his claim for feeding prisoners in June was $261026 That included those arrested at the time of ihe races Memorial day and covered a period of thirty six days he says Cither bills paid are: June $190560: May $175907: April $224933 March $178827 and ebruary $159653 In 1913 the bills were: October $230053 September $192373 August $1558 53 July $163893 June $1126 and Mav $122773 Preparations are being made to place gangs of prisoners from the Workhouse on the county roasd They mav be used at the County Infirmary again this year The law gives the commissioners the au thority to order the prisoners to work on any public improvement edeme davisable The experiment last year when gangs of prisoners were sent to the County Infirm ary to work in the fields was more than satisfactory the commissioners say and they believe that the labor of prisoners on the roads will save the county money and solve the problem of finding men to do the road work The commissioners say will cost very little more to maintain the at full capacity and the men on the public works than with 250 prisoners Sheriff Portteus said yesterday taht he believes the working of Workhouse pris oners on the highways will prove costly to the county He said extra guards will have to be hire dand other precautions taken which will require additional ex pense Young Man and Girl Arrested After Demolishing Stolen Car Witness Scents Crime in Crash and Captures Couple After Exciting Race in Automobile Caught red handed when he
