SALE II

Dollar Day Specials Are Arranged By Merchants for Final Shopping Event.,

The windup of the suburban day sale project is at hand, next Wednesday finishing up the series of sales which have been In progress for the past three months. In order that the last appearance of suburban day may long be remembered among the people of the surrounding country, the merchants of this city have decided to make a special sale on all the merchandise In their shops which can possibly be marked down to a dollar value. This last appearance of suburban day this year will be termed dollar day on account of the exceptional offers which will be made at that price.

Although the regular sales on Wednesdays have been marked by the lowest prices which the merchants can possible make on all their wares, the last appearance will offer even greater opportunities for reasonable trading. Anything that the merchant has In his shop which can possibly be marked at one dollar will be so marked. This sale is created with the special purpose of leaving In the minds of the people who have been patronizing the suburban day venture in the past a chance to get anything that they want within reason for one dollar.

One of the largest crowds in the history of the city is expected to attend the sale and the merchants are beginning to make preparation to receive tJieir patrons.

A general review of the success which has attended the suburban day venture during the time which it has been in progress, makes the merchant think that the people of this section have been waiting for such a scheme for some time and that they appreciated the efforts of the merchants in offering to them the necessities of life, as well as the luxuries, at a price which is far lower than they could possibly buy the same article* In the department stores of a larger city.

Suburban day will not end on next Wednesday it will merely be postponed until some future date, probably until next summer.

CHARGES WIFE MAKES

Declares Her Love of Diamonds and Other Extravagances Induced Their Trouble.

The queenly and extravagant tastes of his wife, Mrs. Gertie Vanborsum were assigned Saturday by Ben Vanborsum, theatre manager, as the cause of his matrimonial troubles. He said: "I have been misrepresented in' one newspaper report of this matter. The _report implied _that I .knew where my wife's diamonds WOT and that' I'liad made mysterious trips to the west on some gay excursion or sometning. As for the diamands, Mrs. Vanborsum bought $280 worth of gems from Sam Sterchl against my will. My income is not such that it will Btand aiiy such luxuries and the matter of the diamonds is but one instance in many in which I was compelled to stop such expenses. "Sterchl sued Mrs. Vanborsum for the diamonds. One paper said that they disappeared after I had ransacked her room, implying that I had stolen them. "The. only trips I ever made to the west were to see my wife when she was sick In Colorado. That's how much there is in the intimation that I welb addicted to 'frequent trips out of town.'

I am not given to discussing my personal affairs in the newspapers, but I don't rest under any change of being a diamond thief or indulging in mysterious trips to the west. Such stuff is simply inspired by a purpose to hurt my business standing."

"While we never have had occasion to use bloodhounds In Terre Haute but two or three times, as I recall," said Chief Doyle Saturday morning, 'I must say for" myself that I have but little faith in them. I have no reason to believe they are good 'sleuths', but I never had much confidence In them. However, Mr. Thompson wanted us to call for them the other night so we did."

5 AIMD GRAFTERS

Manton Asserts Whitman Asked Him What Becker Knew of New York City Affairs.

NEW YORK, July 31.—Martin T. Manton, of counsel for Charles Becker, electrocuted at Sing Sing for instigating the murder of Herman Rosenthal, issued a statoment today in which he denied emphatically that he had given Governor Charles S. Whitman the names of five alleged grafters. The statement opened with the assertion that a New York newspaper yesterday quoted the governor as saying Mr. Manton had named five men—two dead and three living—who were implicated in the alleged grafting.

Mr. Manton recites that upon reading the lnteview attributed to the governor, he sent him by telegraph a message asking whether he had been correctly quoted. Failing to receive a reply Mr. Manton said he deemed it advisable to state just what happened in the interview in which five men were mentioned.

Four Men NArlfed.v

"I had sought the governor," says Mr. Manton in his statement, "for the purpose of asking him, in view of the fact that he was the prosecutor who fraught about Becker's conviction, to take the advice of some eminent citizen concerning the action that should be taken by him as governor in respect to enforcing the sentence of death. I told the governor that Becker would answer any questions propounded to him by such a commissioner. The governor then said. 'Manton, you need not answer this unless you want to but can Becker give me anything on this municipal adminiRtratlon?' "I replied, *1 do not know. You had better get that first hand, from Becker's lips.' He. then went on to mention four names, three of which he said were of men not now Important. One, however, was that of a person now holding high public office in the city. Concerning that one he said: "Did he have anything to do with it?' I replied, 1 do not know Becker has never told me. But he said he would answer any questions yo^r commissioner may ask him.'"

Mr. Manton declined to rtiake public the names of the men h« cl&inns the governor mentioned.

PARIS, July 31.—The French war office this afternoon gave out a statement on the progress of hostilities which reads: "German aviators this morning bombarded St. Pol-Sur-Mer and Gravelines.

"Some bombs have been thrown down by aviators of the enemy on Nancy. The material damages were insignificant. One of the German machines struck by shells from our artillery was compelled on its return to come down between the French and the German lines.

British Press Rejects Pope's Plea for Peace

LONDON, July 81.—Pope Benedict's plea for an "arranging of aspirations" finds no response in the British press, which rejects, as the Westminster Gazette puts it, the "implication of hope that we all equally are involved In a fratricidal struggle and that all in equal, degree are responsible for the origin and outcome of this strife. "We had no choice in the matter in August, 1914," the newspaper says, "and we have no choice in the matter now."

The Westminster Gazette says: 'There is no conceivable arranging of aspirations which will meet our views until after an issue which makes a repetition of these events impossible in the future."

In a letter, which was written on the anniversary of the outbreak of the war, July 28, the pope asks why there should not be initiated a direct or indirect exchange of views, "in an endeavor, if possible, to arrange aspirations so tnat all should be contented."

ANNIVERSARY WEEK AT DUNN ORPHAN HOME

Hundred Happy-Hearted Children In Good Homes Each Year, Its Record.

This is the week of the 12th anniversary of the opening of the Glenn Home. It was twelve years ago that the thirty-five dependent children that the Vigo county board of guardians had been boarding in private families and other institutions were gathered together and placed in the new home just completed at Glenn.

Although the buildings were splendid in appearance they were located on a barren hill, quite unlike the grounds about the home today— grounds that have been made attractive with shrubbery and flowers and convenient by cement walks. There are also shade trees and orchards. Since the first buildings were completed a heating plant and steam laundry have been added, as well as 300 feet of tunnels carrying steam and water pipes between the buildings, and three large wellB have been dug to insure an adequate water supply.

Another new building is now being erected to be used for chapel and school purposes. Upon the completion of this building Vigo county will have one of the most complete institutions in the state for caring for dependent, children.

There are now 121 children being cared for in the home at an estimated cost of 32 cents daily for each. During the 12 years the institution has cared for 1,287 different children, receiving them from conditions of distress and placing them out in homes with new hope in their hearts.

Much of the credit for the success of the home is due Mr. and Mrs. Ovid Lawrence, superintendent and matron of the home who were selected for their positions by the board of children's guardians before the first buildings of the Institution were completed. They purchased all the furnishings for the cottages and administration building the farming outfit and organized the work of the home.

Board of "Works Member D. F. Scott wai rather surprised at criticisms lodged against him because of the dumping of some of the dirt taken from North Center street, which is being graded. Inasmuch as many of the other residents received loads and loads of dirt without co?t and at a saving to the city.

Some of the fifi-p^l^s had intimated that Scott had stolen, pilfered or otherwise annexed a lot of earth off North Center street and had used the city's own teams for the purpose. The false mask was torn from the mystery Saturday. Here follows the plot revealed In all its mischief: "In order to grade the street," said Mr. Scott, "It is necessary to remove many loads of dirt and if the city has to pay for hauling It across the river to be dumped it would cost $1 a load. I don't know how many loads have been hauled but It is a fact that there are 20,000 to 30,000 loads yet to be hauled so it stands to reason the city cannot afford to haul that away. The dirt is Just common black dirt and has to be taken from the street. "Others who have received numerous leads of dirt for. grading their lawns are Gerhardt Monninger, A. R. Monnlnger, George Scott, Mr. Ball, George McCormick, Mir. Robinson, Arthur McDonald, Mrs. Fouikes and others. Noneof these people have been asked to pay for the dirt. It is merely a saving to the city. "On North Twelfth street the contractors who put In the curbing and sidewalks, left the dirt piled In the street and the city had to pay for hauling it away. It Is of no commercial value to the city so each load is a sheer expenditure of $1 and nothing given In return. That's all there' is to it."
