Mrs. Oliver Schug of Hartford City, ' formerly of Decatur, was taken to the Lutheran hospital. Fort Wayne, Saturday evening, where at 7 o’clock she underwent an operation for the removal of the appendix. She has been subject to attacks of appendicitis for some time. When the last attack came she sent for her physician from his city, who advised the operation, accompanying her to the Fort Wayne ixospltal, where ha assisted Dr. Duemllng. Word from Fort Wayne Is that Mrs. Schug is very weak and suffer-, ing much pain, but is getting along I well. Her mother, Mrs. A. W. Holmes, of LaOtto and Mr. Schug’s mother. Mrs. Rudolph Schug, of Berne, were with her at the hospital, as well as the husband. What would Decatur be without a moving picture show? Just stop and! think about this a minute. Take this innocent amusement out of the city and what would you have? What better and more enjoyable amusement Is ■

there than a neat clean place to go and enjoy an hour or so in the even-' ing than a motion picture theatre? And yet if the bill introduced in the house of representatives Thursday by J. R. Jones of Plymouth should become a law, Decatur will certainly have to get along without this luxury. Manager Will Parent was the recipient this morning of a letter from the company through which he secures his films and which reads in part as fol- ! lows: ‘ Rep. J. R. Jones of Plymouth today introduced into the house of re- • presentatives a bill to provide for the ] censorship of all motion picture films exhibited In the state of Indiana. This bill, among other things provides that no films shall be exhibited in the j state until it has been passed by the ; board of censorship consisting of one man at SIBOO a year, and one woman o' SI2OO a year. The bill further provides that before films shall be exhibited and passed before the board, a fee of $5 per film must be pala. If this bill becomes a law. It will require you as an exhibitor to pay $5 for each film shown In your theatre." In as much as all three shows in the city are putting on three films, this would require an additional expence of sls per night, and which would be la any city of this size an utter impossibility, and would require the local shows as well as many of the smaller shows in the larger cities to close their doors. There is no doubt however but that this bill will completely fail i in its passage. C. S. Mumma, chairman of the Adams County Farmers’ association, was in the city this morning, completing the program for the two days’ session to be held Thursday and Friday, February 6 and 7, in the courtroom, this city. Owing to delay in answers from some of the speakers from a distance, a rough outline of the program could not be made until today. Some very good authorities on the subjects of real interest to both farmers and their wives have been secured. Music will be furnished by the Decatur male quartet and the high school glee club. A very cordial invitation is given to all to attend. The program as roughly outlined thus far, Is: Thursday—9:3o a. m. “Alfalfa in Indiana"—James Kline, Howe, Ind. Discussion. “Clover and Crop Rotation"—L. W. Oviatt, Bay City, Mich. Questions. Thursday—l:3o p. m. Music. "Conserving Soil Fertility"—James Kline. “Sugar Beets" —L. W. Oviatt. Question Box. Thursday—7:oo p. m. Decatur Quartet. ‘‘The Country Boy and Girl” —James Kline. Song—Decatur Quartet. , . “The City Farmer" —Prof. E. E. Rice Song—High School Glee Club. Attractiveness of the Farm Home, and Social Life on the Farm” —L. W. Oviatt. Closing Song—High School Glee Club. Friday—9:3o a. m. Music. “Living 'Worth While”—Mrs. Laura Leonard, Indianapolis. Discussion. "Stock Feeding and Comparative Value of Feeds’’—L. W. Oviatt. Discussion. Friday—l:3o p. m. Music. ■“Household Management” — Mrs. Leonard. “Preparations of the Soil and Conservation of Soil Fertility”—L. W. Oviatt BLANCHE RING AT MAJESTIC. The music in “The Wall Street Girl,” in which Blanch Ring will be seen at the Majestic theater, Fort Wayne, on Saturday, February Ist, is said to be of the kind that lingers in • the memory. Karl Hoschna composed • the music before he did that of “Mad-, lame Sherry," or "Three Twins,” and it is tuneful, rhythmic and has plenty .of swing to it. Among Miss Ring’s songs are “Deedle-Dum-Dee,” "The Indian Rag," “I Should Have Been Born i A Boy,” and “I Want A Regular Man.” When it comes to singing songs, there is only one Blanche Ring. She invests them with her own magnetic | personality, and sings them in her inimitable manner. Even the coldest of audiences are sure to thaw under her chirm. OH, LOVE-ELEY SLUSH! I Let those who think the country newspapers are addicted to "gush" read the following love-ely slush from a Chicago Sunday paper: “Mrs. Fairbanks entertained her | handsome mother-in-law, Mrs. Charles I Fairbanks, of Indianapolis, at an opera party a short while ago; the senior Mrs. Fairbanks created a ripple of admiration among her box neighbors by the regal sable coat which she was wearing that came almost to the hem of her skirt”

(United Press Service) London, Jan. 24— (Special to Dall* j Democrat)—The London ambassadors of the great powers were summoned, to appear in the office of Sir Edward I Grey, secretary of state of foreign as-, fairs today. He told them that immediate vigorous and concerted action by the powers was imperative if a"tive hostilities between the Turks, Balkan states and possible other nations were to be avoided. The am- , bassadors were convinced that the revolution now prevailing in Turkey was the gravest situation since the Balkan war began, and that which had been heretofore scoffed at had, become positive, and that the peace |of Europe and the present situation' I depended upon their action within the i I next forty-eight hours. Constantinople, Jan. 24 —(Special to; Daily Democrat)—The Turkish cabl-1 net has decided to recall the ultimatum peace envoys from London. This precluding redemption of peace negotiations can be construed to mean only one thing, and that is that the young Turks are determined to carry on the war. The first official action of the cabinet after-recalling the London potentiates was to recall the Turkish ambassadors at Vienna and St. Petersburg for court martial and accusing them of failing to maintain strong policies is connection of home government against foreign alltos. i Anarchy following close beh ind the revolution threatens to run throughout the Ottoman empire. Heavy fighting prevailed over the city today following a night of continuous rioting and the hospitals are fast filling up with the wounded. That there will be something doing in Pythian circles in Decatur during the next few months is no question. With the Installation of the officers for this term a new interest has been awakened. The first rank work was given Thursday evening, the candidate being R. M. Collins, manager of the Morris five and ten cent store. Mr. Collins will proceed directly through the various degrees. Next Thursday evening, January 30th, he will be proven in the rank of esquire. If there were nothing else to direct the attention of the members of the lodge toward the lodge room his would be ■sufficient Besides the degree work, the sessions will be followed by features that will be interesting and worth while. Chancellor Commander R. D. Myers started the ball rolling Thursday night by announcing a smoker to take place immediately following the lodge session. Another matter of importance to the lodge was brought up by one of the members directly Interested and the matter carried over one week for completion in detail. It is desired that all the members, who can, come out next week to assist in the rank work and to discuss the matter above referred to. If this plan works out, I which will be done only on condition that all assist, the lodge will be as ( greatly benefltted as by anything that they have undertaekn o do. MILLS GETS THE JERSEY. Dr. Zeigler of Monmouth, who took the decision of the case of John Fryback vs. Louis Mills, for the replevin of a Jersey cow, under advisement. 1 has rendered a decision in favor of the defendant, giving Mills the Jersey. » Considerable excitement was caused I this morning among students and fans, when it became, rumored that the state fire inspector, who was here Thursday, had condemned the old > Porter hall, making it impossible that any more games of basket ball be played there. An investigation, however, proved this a mistake. The inspector simply called on Mr. Jesse Niblick and suggested several changes for the protection of the building, and those who patronize the games and i that gentleman consented, agreeing , to see that same are made at once. \ One of the things necessary is that the rear stairway, which has been closed, be opened so that is may be used if necessary. The doors must also | swing out instead of in. The games wsll proceed, there being one scheduled for tonight between the second team and a Fort Wayne five. The ; first high school team goes to Bluffton tonight to meet the fast bunch from Libery Center. The basket ball game 1 in this city has done much toward creating a sentiment for a gymnasium, i —o - — HEARING POSTPONED. The preliminary hearing for Mrs., John Lee, which was to have been | held this afternoon at 2 o’clock, before ’ Justice J. K, Rinehart, was continued, 1 by agreement of attorneys in the case, ’ for one week, and will not be called for a hearing until next Thursday, January 30th, at 1 o’clock. The continuance was asked by the state’s attorneys for the reason that Prosecuting Attorney Lee F. Sprague la tied up in a case at Hartford City today, and was unable to come to this city. He is desirous of being present

when the hearing Is held. j The principal evidence against Mm. Lee, as far as is known, is that fur- ’ nished in the confession of John Lee, i implicating his wife, but there promises to be a fight against the admission of evidence by John Lee. The attorney for both Lee and his wife will object to this line of evidence, on the ground that for Lee to go on the witJness stand to testify against his wife, along the line of the confession, would be equivalent to placing Lee on the stand to testify against himself, since he is himself charged with first deI gree murder, and a defendant in a •criminal case cannot be compelled to testify. Whether the state has additional {evidence probably will not develop ’until the preliminary is held. —Pdutf ton News. . I ■ W ■—>i ■ —• <l '■>* «BH l j The famous Paylor-Studebaker case Was "put to sleep’ as far as the high- - er courts are concerned late Wednesday afternoon when the state supreme court denied the appellant’s pei tition for a transfer of the case from the appellate court. According to this i decision the heirs of the late Gather- ■ tae Fay lor are given possession of the ■ (famous" “Katj ” Faylor farm, north1■ west of the city, which, according to I ! the will of the w-onian was the prop 1. erty of D. D. Studabaker. By the last s • decision of the appellate court the . heir* were also awarded $2,000 d_~i--1! ages for rents and profits from the land while it was in the hands of Mr. - Studabaker. Mr. Studabaker has had -, possession of the farm since the last 5 decision of the appellate court was > against him. A writ of assistance will now probably be asked for, in op der for the heirs to get possession of : the property and they will also prob- ; ably file a suit for damages against . Mr. Studabaker. according to the i statements of the attorneys today. i• The case was started in the courts about eleven years ago, when the ij heirs of Catherine Faylor, deceased, filed suit against D. D. Studabaker. • asking the court to quiet the title to the farm, claiming It had been willed i: to the defendant, when the deceased ' Catherine Faylor was of unsound > mind. The case was tried by a jury ’ and d verdict was returned for the • plaintiff. Mr. Studabaker was granted • new trial and the case was sent to ■ the Adams circuit court on a change lof venue. The jury in this trial disagreed and during the' following term .• it was tried again, the jury returning a verdict for the Faylor heirs. :: Mr. Studabaker appealed the case > to the appellate court and the decision i; of the Adams circuit court was affirmed. A motion for a rehearing was overruled and Mr. Studabaker then •transferred it to the state supreme court The supreme court reversed the decision and another trial in Ad- ’ sms county followed. The verdict for the heirs with damages in the sunt of $2,000 was returned. This was appealed on a question of law, | but the appellate court affirmed the decision April 25, 1912. Mr. Studabaker’s attorneys petition■ed the appellate court for a rehearing, which was denied and a motion for a transfer to the supreme court was made. The final action on this motion was taken Wednesday, when the supreme court denied it This practically puts an end to all litigation in the higher courts, but attorneys for the Faylor heirs stated today ■ that a suit for damages against Mr.' Studabaker will probably be filed and also a suit for possession in order for the heirs to get their farm. The case has been in the sourts so many years that it has attracted much attention over the state. —Bluffon Banner. | Atorneys for the Falyor heirs were I Simmons & Dailey, Sturgis & Stine, j and Mock & Mock «of Bluffton, and | • Judge Heller of Decatur. Attorneys for Studabaker were Eichhorn & Vaughn, of Bluffton; John Burns, Hartford City; U. S. Lesh. Huntington, and D. E. Smith, Decatur. o I OTHERS FIND ’EM, TOO. Custodian Stults Has “Got Nothing Over” Kosciusko County Man. James Stults, custodian of the Ad-' ams county court house, who found a | pair of men's false teeth lying in the 1 courthouse, reposing in “an upheaval” occasioned apparently by an attack of •nausea on the part of the owner of the teeth, has "got nothing over” the custodian of the Kosciusko county : court house. After the farmers' institute adjourned there this week, Custidian Charles Balsey, who was sweeping, found on the floor of the auditorl(um a pair of “store teeth.” He says Ihe is accustomed to finding most evlerything else—-hairpins, handkeri chiefs,, pins, and even an envelope,, ■containing a check for SBO2, but this is the first time he has found teeth. Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 24 —Members of the Indiana legislature paid more attention to committee hearings than to the regular routine of receiving and acting on bills. Neither house held a session in the afternoon, but"j committee transacted a volume of i i

business. Bills on thi'.-d reading were considered in both h- juses. the senate passing three and voting down owe. while the lower br anch passed seven. Twenty-one bills -»ere introduced in the senate and twenty-six in the house. The sight, pf an innocent little girl drinking e t a fountain from the same cup user’, )>y a maa whose lip was nearly eaten off, caused Senator White j,] Crawfordsville, he said, to intrcxivjce a pi]] against the common zking cup in all public places. Governor Ralston said yesterday (that he was in favor of the state's proI j aiding a residence for future governi ors. but that he did not believe the legislature should take action effective • during his term. A joint commission has been appointed by the legislature • to study the feasibility of the state's ■ I taking over property for a governor's ■ home. • | The ways and means committee of i ■ the house y esterday afternoon agreed s to report favorably on the Cravens - bill, appropriating $75,000 for the rep-j ? redentation of Indiana at the San -1 Francisco exposition, and favorably 5 ;on the Kellam bill, appropriating sl.--1500 for the maintenance and care of t the plot where Nancy Hanks is buried. ? Two bills by Bedwell, both relating to the taxing of minerals under the surface In addition to the value of the . ground as real estate. A public hear--1 ing on these bills was set for next t! Wednesday. Also the Leyendecker s bill, regarding the taxation of certain ?: properties such as bonds, which “tax - dodgers" might endeavor to conceal f from taxation was included in the list ■ on bills to be taken up at the hearing. t The committee also held a joint meet- ( j ing with the finance committee of the j senate, and organized for the work of • s taking up the appropriation bills. » Senator Fleming was named as the , chairman of the joint committee. It , j was decided to send out letters to the ; > heads of the various state institutions, i asking them when they desired to be I heard regarding the appropriations to I be made for the institutions. r | ——- — ■ I The “business form of city govern- [ I ment,” as embodied in the Koenig > | bill, was discussed before the house . committee on cities and towns, yes-. . terday afternoon, by T. F. Thieme, manufacturer, of Fort Wayne; E. G. (Hoffman, attorney, of Ft. Wayne, and W. K. Stewart, of Indianapolis. Indi- . isnapolis and Fort Wayne under preusent ‘or-ng of - “-e ; ; int- . ied to by the speakers a ■ tries of II “just" whit city geve. umcn: o-.ght not: to t e." The hearing lasted ?u hour | and a half. Then the comm tee de-' • c’ded not to make eny report on the ; bill until another hearing wes given. | , The date for this was not f'xed. Mr. ■' i Stewart declared that as an illustrai tion of what the present laws aiford b| wag the case of the last election in Indianapolis, when the r-copU of this city had “been given an opjortunity to choose betw-een an auctioneer and a tinner for the job of tuning a corporation that spends $5,000,0(H) ayear. In Thursday s edition of the Peru Chronicle a lengthy description is given of a joke "slipped over” ou several of the business men of that city by ■Rube” Wilkens, assisted by the Milam! county officials. "Rube" will le i remembered by the people of Decatar as the “farmer advertiser," who entertained large crowds of people on the street during the home-coming week with his funny sayings and antics. “Rube" struck Peru in his typical farmer’s make-up and started the ball rolling by going to the court house land getting all of the officials interested by offering to sell apples at forIty cents a bushel, and of which he had a car load on one of the railroads. It is said that the officials fell over one another in placing their orders with him and failed to see the point : until he had nearly finished his deI scription of the various business i houses. Not to be outdone by the ' • merchants, the officials concocted a' little scheme whereby “Rube” was to ibe arrested on the charge of securing I money under false pretenses. Os : • course he was taken into their confl-1 i dence and when he found he was in ( bad he was to go to the merchants . and have them settle his fine. All of the merchants were summoned to ap- ! pear before the court at 9 o'clock, and it is said that the expressions upon : the faces of the men as they appeared jin the court room were so comical and woe-begone that it was with the | greatest of difficulty that the judge was able to carry through his part of the comedy. The trial was carried' through, however, "Rube” acting as his own attorney, and at the end of his plea giving the prayer of the “Al-', mighty Dollar," one of his features 1 which never failed to draw rounds of applause from the people who heard ' . him give it In Decatur. The merchants | were finally put next that the joke ' was on them and so to square up ' things a barrel of apples and a box 1 of cigars were gi’m to the officials. 1 "Rube” was permitted to go on with his entertainment

lbdl>.n»poli», Ind- (Special ( to Dally Democrat)— G < > vftrnor an ’’ ’Mel Ralston does not favor the t<x- ' senberg plan of submitting the question of calling a constitutional con vention to the people In 1914 any more : than he does the Grube-Weldler plan of calling the convention at once. The governor favors a constitutional convention, but the time and the, manner of calling ft leaves to the. legislature without advice from him s at this time. He will approve either | bill that comes to him from the general assembly. | “If the legislature feels certain that the people want a constitutional convention,” said Governor Ralston today, "I will approve an act calling the convention. If. however, the legislature is in doubt, I will approve an act submit- ( ting to the people the question whether ; the convention shall be called " It was learned today that the progressive Democrats are opposed to 1 the Stotsenburg plan. They say there, lis no doubt that the people want a modern constitution and that a referendum would delay the advance. — o— > I “Word received from the bedside of Mrs. Ralph Hoover was of such achariacter that it would almost seem that deaih mignt be preferable after says the Van Wert Daily Times. | “After having bad the case under his I close observation for nearly a week. Dr. Rosenthal states that her phy- • sical condition it quite satisfactory, | and that he believes that she will re-' , cover, but that he fears that Mrs. Hoover will not regain her speech. It I hpepars that the rear portion of the brain, traversed by the bullet, is an unexplored region, so far as surgeons are concerned, and though they have a good working knowledge of the front I part of the brain, little is known of the rear, though it is thought that part 1 of it has something to do with speech. I Mrs. Hoover, it swms, has made sev-, eral efforts to talk, but her words are jindistlncL and that it is impossible to i tell what she tries to say. But the loss • of speech is not the gravest outcome , of the case, as it is feared that she will not regain her mental faculties as well, every indication seeming to show that they have been effected | and that even though she recovers, she will not be the bright woman she I was formerly. "Mrs. Hoover has not been questioned concerning the shooting, but Dr. Rosenthal thinks that the patient could give evidence which would be Invaluable in fixing the blame for the shooting. Dr. Rosenthal Is concerned only with Mrs. • Hoover’s recovery and will not quesjtion her about matters connected with ' the legal side of the case. He says. ' however, that he will now give his I consent If the prosecution wishes to ■ask any questions pertaining to the •hooting. The surgeons will not remove the other bullet if no conditions arise that tend to cause inconvenience to the patient. He says that the piece of lead is doing no harm at present, and that Mrs. Hoover may recover and never be aware of the presence of the bullet in her head were she not told
