TEACHERS GIVE PARTS I FOR SCHOOt TABLEAU

Assignments Are Made for Schools Which Will Take Part In Historical Pictures.

A':, At a meeting of the teachers' federation at the Emeline Fairbanks' library Wednesday afternoon assignments

Were made to the several schools throughout the city of the living picture each school, with its teachers and children, is expected to prepare for the carnival of living pictures to be given at the Hippodrome on May 20, 21 and 22. These pictures include many that *fft familiar to the public and their reproduction in the way of living pictures will attract great interest, it is believed. For Instance, one of the pictures to be given in this way is "Breaking Home Ties," which attracted more attention at the Chicago world's fair than any other of the thousands exhibited there. "The AnIfelus" and "The Birth of the Flag" Are two others well known that are to be reproduced, the latter by one Of the patriotic societies of the city.

A number of organizations have been Invited to take part in this exhibition and many have already accepted the Invitation. The teachers are to select the children in each school to assume the several parts in each tableau, and these are to be rehearsed regularly at each school. One general renearsal Will be held before the entertainment, which will be supervised by Miss Emma Grattln, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, under whose direction the entertainment is to be given.

There will be four performances given, three at night and one matinee, and there will be a change of program at each performance, making a total of about twenty scenes at each performance. This will require about eighty pictures to be represented. The members of the federation are taking much interest in the affair, and the meeting at the library Wednesday afternoon was well attended.

SALOON MAN BEFORE COTJET.

George Wilmer, saloonkeeper at Third and Walnut streets, was before Judge Newton in City Court Thursday morntrig charged with carrying concealed weapons, but through his attorney, Louis Reichmann, obtained a continuance of the case until Friday morning. Wilmer, it is said, became engaged In a controversy with Frank Cook, a negro who conducts a barber shop just south of Wilmer's saloon, because Wilmer accused Cook of making remarks about his (Wilmer's) wife.

Wednesday Wilmer had Cook arrested qn a warrant from Justice Beal's court charging him with drawing a razor on the saloonman, but Cook was found not guilty.

COURT RELEASES WOMAN.

Alice Owens, charged with intoxication, told Judge Newton in City Court that she would try to do the right thing if the court would help her. "That's exactly what I want to do," •aid Judge Newton. "What can I do to help you?" She replied, "Givo me •$ chance."

The judge said he would grant her request but admonished her not to come before him again on that oh urge.

BURSTING SHELL TOSSES CORPSE ON CHURCH SPIRE

GENERAL. HEADQUARTERS, British Army, France, April 29.— (Correspondence of the Associated Press).—One of the huge German 42-oentImeter shells opened a grave in the little cemetery in the village of Riche Bourg St. Vaaste recently, and, exploding, lifted a coffin and the skeleton therein fifty feet In the air where bones and splintered wood caught and hung on the side of the church t.ower. Wind and rain have come, but part of the skeleton still depends from the tower, rattling and swaying in the breeze. A correspondent of the Associated Press, motoring along the British lines, saw the strange Sight, perhaps the oddest freak of shell lire of the war. Parts of the skeleton, whose, nobody knows (for the villagers have fled), has dropped to the church yard below, but enough of the bones remain in midair to be Identified as those of a human being.

GAS CLOUDS STUPEFY MEN IN THE TRENCHES

Belgian Committee Files Report on Use of Asphyxiation Weapons By German Army.

HAVRE, France, April 29.—The official Belgian committee appointed to investigate reported violations of laws of nations has addressed to Minister of Justice Walrt a report on the use by the Germans of asphyxiating gases. It is stated that gaseous clouds extending 300 feet into the air were carried away from the German lines by the wind. The clouds were green in color at the base gradually shading to light yellow toward the top. Several kinds of gases appear to have been used including chorine, the nitrous vapors of sulphuous anhydride and others the nature of which has not yet been determined.

Four methods were employed, the report states, in generating these gases. The first was to light fires in the first line of trenches and permit the wind to blow the gas formed towards the lines of the German's antagonists. The three other methods involved enclosing the gas In some kind of missile. These included cans thrown either by hand or howitzers, or in tubes.

The effects of the gases were felt at distances of half a mile. They produced a kind of stupor which lasted for three or four hours.

A German prisoner belonging to the Sixteenth army corps, who was taken April 18, stated that gas cylinders were placed along the entire front held by this corps. There was one every six feet and men specially instructed in their use were told to see that they produced the desired effect. These men were provided with smoke helmets while respirators were distributed to all the soldiers.

FORBECK WRITES FROM JAIL.

Says "Boys" Are Standing Confinement Pretty Well. Harry Forbeck, writing from the Marion county jail, where he is serving a four months' sentence for his part in the election conspiracy, says the confinement Is not at all monotonous, as there is something doing all the time. He says the prisoners there are receiving the best of treatment, and have no complaint to register. He said most of them would not be affected by the clamping of the "lid" in Terre Haute, because most of the boys will be "reformed" by the time they get out. as they get nothing but water to drink there.

New Decision Affects Traction Line Between Paris and Terre Haute, Looal Manager Says.

Announcement of the decision of the Interstate commerce commission in placing the Paris lnterurban line under the jurisdiction of the commission as applied to lnterurban service between states was received in Terre Haute Thursday. The case was aired before the commlsson at Washington several months ago and John T. Beas-lc-y appeared for the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern Traction company. The decision In nart says: "It may be that the framers of the various statutes relating to interstate commerce by railroad, under which the commission operates, were chiefly concerned with steam railroads, but It would seem that the promotion of safety of interstate travel by eleotric lines and the prevention of such abuses aB may arise in their operation and management also are matters of concern to congress."

The commission further adds in its decision that unless it can be more clearly shown that there is something In the purpose of one or the other of the aots of congress which would exclude electrlo lines, it must hold that the electrlo railways engaged in interstate transportation are subject to its jurisdiction. "The ruling of the commission effects only the Par's lnterurban line of our division," explained Mr. Grover Thursday morning. "It will mean that this line will come under the jurisdiction of the interstate commerce commission."

RULING FAVORS WEATHER MAN.

Court Refuses to Strike Out Certain Parts of Answer. In the Superior Court Thursday morning Judge Beal overruled the motion by attorneys for Mrs. Marion E. Morehouse, formerly Mrs. W. R. Cade, to strike from Cade's cross-complaint several paragraphs relating to her conduct after her marriage to a Washington man within twenty-four hours after a divorce had been granted by Judge Beal. Cade's cross-complaint In which he asked for a modification of the decree, whereby he would get custody of his child, and be relieved of the payment of $20 a month for its support, set out some sensational charges, and these were asked to be stricken out. In overruling the motion the court said he felt that all these facts should bd made a matter of record at this time in order that the court should be in possession of all the facts when the matter came bp for final determination. Mrs. Morehouse had asked that her former husband be cited for contempt of court in failing to pay the $20 a month, and his answer declared that he had sent the money to Washington addressed to Mrs. Cade, but that it had been returned to him.

Argument on the contempt proceedings and the other ph&ses of the case, including the payment of alimony, was set for next Tuesday morning,

In speaking just before the collection was taken, Dr. Lyon sa.id: "If you like this musical program dig down into your pocket and give freely. Surely this musical program alone is worth fifty oents. One of your musical critics of the city told me the other night she had never heard a better program of singing."

County Officials Night.

The song service, especially the ^numbers given by the Tabernacle quartet win much applause. The Rev. T. F. Williams, of Plainfield, tn'l., a visiting pastor, offered the prayer at the opening of the meeting. Dr. Lyon explained that a report was being circulated that he couldn't be heard In parts of the tabernacle. "The trouble is that some people hear me too well," said Dr. Lyon.

Thursday night will be county officials night at the Tabernacle and all of the county officials, mem^rs of the Vigo County Bar association, and men of the Christian and Congregational churches are expected to be present.

In speaking on the subject, "Rolling Away the Stone," Wednesday night, Dr. Lyon said:

The Faith of Martha.

When Jesus drew near to Bethlehem, Martha went to meet him. but Mary stayed in the house. Mary was discouraged. She did not believe that Christ was going to come.

Against Mary's doubt the faith Ot Martha stands forth With srreater radiance. Full of faith, she goes forth to meet Christ, and from his lips she hears that great message, "I am the resurrection and the life." Now. Martha, having met Jesus, goes tack to Mary, and her words are frauerht with new meaning. These are the steps in any true works of grace. You' canhot get all the professed Christians of any church or community at the outset of any great work of grace. interested in the salvation of souls.

bers and there meet Christ. Then they

to their friends and their invitations a weight that they did not have before. As soon as the entire household went, we are told the multitude went, also.

They did not bury their dead in the earth as we do now. They made an opening in the solid rock where they laid tne body, and at the mouth of th tomb they placed a great stone. Such was the grave of Lazarus. Before the living Christ could come into contact with the dead Lasarus and bring him forth to life, that stone must be rolled away.

Applies the Topic.

Now let us make three-fold application: First, removing the hindrances between the churches: second, removing the obstructions in the individual church: and third, the difficulties in the individual lives. There is otten between the churches of a community a spirit of competition and rivalry. It one gets a new building or furnishing*, some other church says, "We must not let them get ahead Of us." And they get up all sorts of schemes and contrivances to get ahead of someone else. This is the spirit of the pastor who prayed, "Oh, Lord, thou knowest how it has teen going bad with us but we thank thee, it is better with us than with that church across the street."

There is a great deal of chuTchanlty that is not Christianity. The church organization often usurps the place ot Christ. The pastor or member may be enthu&iastio for his church, with the same spirit that a baseball captain or fan may be enthusiastic for his team: and with no higher motive. That is one advantage of a union campaign like this, where all in the community who are interested in putting down sin and enthroning Christ, are invited to join. There is someone that lives over the hill, even If you cannot see the Bmolce coming -out of the chimney. Let tne stones of a narrow, selfish sectarianism be rolled away.

There are also many stones of obstruction in the individual churches, that are blocking spiritual progress. One is Jealousy and selfishness as lorn? as a certain man occupies a prominent official position In the church, he 's very enthusiastic, but when through a rotation in office someone else is given the leadership, this one often loees all his enthusiasm, and he does not now seem to care whether school keeps cr not. That one was not working 'or the Lord, but merely for himself.

Curse of Indifference.

There are also in the Individual heart obstructions that choke the channels of tlesslng. Sometimes there is prejudice anfl stubbornness. You know of some folks so stubborn that you wonder why they have not grown long ear?. There is a great difference between firmness and stubbornness, firmness in persisting in a Course when vou know you are right, but Stubbornness is oerslstlng in a course when ygu know vou are wrong. One is the most admirable, the other is the most despicable of qualities.

There are the stones of malice and envy, ba3 habits and secret sins which are keeping the life awav from (}od. In a certain city no water flowed from the fauet in a certain residence. Plumbers followed the pine out to where the main pipe joined the water main, and there they found that a

Its promptness, certainty and case in overcorping the worst stomach disorders is a revelation to those who try it.

But greater than all these hinderances is the stone lethargy and indifference. The greatest curse of the church today Is not atheism or spiritualism or Mrs. Eddylsm. it is lndiCerenceism.

AUTOMOBILE THIEF ARRESTED.

Man Taken In Toledo Reported to Have Confessed. Plainclothesman Jack Smock left Terre Haute for Toledo, Ohio, late Wednesday afternoon- to return to this city W. H. Mavity, former Terre Hautean, arrested there Wednesday charged with stealing the automobile of Dr. F. H. Jett and that of Harry W. French of the Singer Sewing Machine company. Smock met Mr. French in Indianapolis. \V

The two machines were stolen from this city, Jett's from Seventh and Ohio streets, and French's from Seventh and Wabash avenue, between March 13 and 15, and since that time Smock has been looking for them, and it was largely through his efforts and those of Night Chief FelthofC that the machines were located. Mavity has both of the machines with him in Toledo, Chief Doyle said Thursday morning.

Mavity was a musician employed at a moving picture theatre for some time. Chief Doyle said his advices from Toledo are that Mafvlty admitted his guilt and will return without extradition papers.

Mavity came to Terre Haute from Detroit, Mich., so he told, and brought with him a Reo touring car, which he sold to Robert George, and which later was claimed by Detroit men. This car was returned to the Detroit men.
