4 FIGHT ON CfiREV ENDED JI LAST Report Finally Submitted by Park Board Committee After Year of Consideration. The rules committee of the park hoard is today laboring over the re port of the investigating committee ap pointed eight months ago to make a report on all the «hys and wherefores of a fight-between two factions in the board. The board is mindful of the fact that harmony now reigns where factional ism was once rampant, and that there probably would have been no report had not Commissioner Frank Withy and others urYed that the committee make some sort of a statement. M R Young if chairman of the in vestigating committee and ft was un der his direction that a thorough probe was mad®, R, A. Burnett and W. P Anderson signed the report with him. It includes the fololwlng recommendations regarding happenings in the hoard a year ago Won't Demand Carey’s Head, That the resolution requesting the resignation of General Manager Dan Carey be withdrawn and that Mr, Ca rey apologize for the remarks he made following the adoption of this resolu tion. That the superintendents of Grant and Piedmont parks -hall have full con trol of the work done in their parks and shall make monthly reports tn the board. That the board have law- passed making it a distinct corporate body, wi’h power to levy taxes and expend its money as it see? fit. That the general manager shall have regular office hour.- from 3 o'clock to 5 o'clock in the afternoon This Squares Everybody. The report is» lengthy and in a pream ble sets forth that if the information received by certain members of the board had been correct, they would have been justified in asking the resig nation of Mr. Carey, but that the In formation given as reasons for asking his resignation was not correct and that they were, therefore, not justified J. O. Cochran, who is now president of the board and who introduced the resolution asking the resignation of Mr. Carey, says he yvll! not move to rescind the resolution. He says he wants the dead past to bury its dead—and he cares nothing about the, report of the committee except as it affects present conditions. Hatchet la Buried. Mr. Carey is. therefore, not expected to apologize for his remarks. Hut h and Mr. Cochran have been the best of friends for some months. Bv a close vote the board turned down the petition of the Capitol Ave nue Baptist church to hold services in Grant park on Sunday. The board then aproprlated s3nn to drain the lake In Springvale park and build a sunken garden there. MUST SHOW HORNY HANDS AS A PROOF OF INDUSTRY MUNCIE. IND., May 8. -Judge Frank Feeley has applied a new test to men picked up as vagrants and who classify themselves as honest yvorklng men. It is known as the "hand test." When a supposed vagrant comes be fore the court the judge requires him to exhibit his hands. "I've been working hard for a long time, but have no work just now." said Ira Bracken, when arraigned on a mi nor charge. "Let's see your hands." said the judge, and Bracken showed them. "Just like velvet 3'l days and th usual fine and costs." said the court.

MAY 8, 1912 ACCUSERS BARE ARCHBALD DEALS Claim IJ. S. Judge Promised Immunity From Prosecution to His "Customers.” SCRANTON. PA May B.—For the first time since charges against Judge R. W. Archbald, of the commerce court, were laid before the interstate com merce commission by B. P Boland, an independent coal operator of this city, representatives of the prosecution to day gave out several alleged specific instances on which the charges ware based. Chief among the allegations is the rei mt deal whereby, it is said. Judge Archbald and E. J. Williams, a former mining man. were to buy the Katydid Culm dump at Moosic, from the Erie company, and an outside interest, for sß.oofi. and sell it to the Lackawanna and Wyoming Valiev railroad, an elec tric line, for $35,000. Next, is an allegation that Judge Archbald had. through Williams as an Intermediary, suggested that the Ma rian Coal Company, by selling Its prop erty to a client that h» had in mind, could escape being Involved in a prose cution tarried by the company against the Delaware, Lackawanna and West ern railroad, before the interstate com merce commission, and a suit against the company by John W. Peale, coal sales agent, of New York. A note for SSOO. Indorsed bv Judge Archbald and offered by E. J Williams to Boland for discount, will also be featured in the case, it is said. Boland, in laying his charges before the inter state commerce commission last Feb ruary, Is said to have made the state ment to that body that unless they took immediate action tn his case he be lieved he was tn be wiped out of busi ness by the coal companies. . The charges were so serious that the com mission laid them before President Taft and secret service agents were sent here to investigate them That inves tigation took several weeks. The name of thfi Delaware, Lacka wanna and Western railroad came into the case for the first time today, and it was said here that E. E. Loomis, presi dent of the Delaware, Lackayvanna and Western Coal Company. Is expected to be subpenaed as a witness before the congressional committee. , Great -S-§ Patronage |d|l|r Means WM one of two things—ad vantageotls prices or the advantage of superior quality!

SAVANNAH, GA., May B.—Friends of Governor Woodrow Wilson in Sa vannah are discussing plans for taking a hand in the forthcoming state con vention. to the extent of having the convention instruct the delegates tn Baltimore for Wilson as second choice. Under the ruling of the state com mittee already passed upon by the peo ple. all the delegates to the Atlanta convention must be from among the friends of Underwood, and. while Wil son's friends realize this, and many of them doubt that any recommendation the State committee might now make would be of any force whatever, they contend, nevertheless, that Wilson car ried 40 counties, and a petition from his friends for recognition might not be unavailing in the convention. The Wilson people of Savannah also express the fear that the factional ele ment that will control the state con vention in Atlanta may undertake to control the present state executive committee —even to displace it- not withstanding the fact that its lease of life runs until after the August state primary. They base this belief upon the idea that the present committee is said to favor the candidacy of Hudson for governor, rather than the candi dacy of Slaton. SOUTHERN RAILWAY. U. C. V. Reunion, Macon.
