FUND IS

GIN 10 THE NEEDY

Money Subscribed By Generous Citizens Relieves Families of Many Soldiers.

I Distribution of the fund raised for the benefit of the dependents left behind when members of Company left for the border has begun. Investigation into the homes of the families are being made by Charity Organisation Secretaries Misses Lena Reading: and Edna Fisher. They have visited about twenty homes that had been reported in need. "In a number of places we found large families of little children," Miss Reading said. "Many of them were entirely without means of any kind. Several wives had very young babies."

Miss Reading also related a visit to a home where two sisters, who had married two brothers and were living together since the latter had gone •way, were working out a livelihood together. "Each of them had a young baby and they had done three washings, including six pairs of blankets, .that day," Miss Reading said, showing the determination of the %omen to keep things going.

Visiting these homes has required .much work on thp part of the secretaries because so many of them live on the outskirts of the city—some in the extreme northeast section and others in the southwest. But the fact

{hingthey

hat are being* looked after is the which Terre Hauteans will be most interested in. i One That Was Passed. "Miss, will you help me a little bit—

JuBt a little, any loose change you happen to have around you," was the appeal made to Miss Lena Reading, Charity organization secretary, at the headquarters Tuesday, by an aged woman. "I'll help you but not with money," Miss Reading replied. And the old woman started oft the porch. "Look here, grandma, you can't beg '..on the streets this way," Miss Reading said to her and followed her out to the side walk. "If you need help,

I'll see that you get it but you'll have to quit begging."

v

"Confound you, get away from *me," the old woman exclaimed, in totally different tones to those she had used When first asking for funds. "I know all about youv" and tottered off down th^ street, jabbing her cane viciously against the pavement at every step.

Miss Reading said the woman had a hand full of change and If she wasn't stopped, she would probably get a lot more.

Boys Frees Swimmers

Six snickering and uneasy youths trouble? arraigned before Judge Newton ~^ity Court Wednesday morning, as th»-»esult-.of official action against the" plriactice of nude bathing In the Wabash river. In a motorboat, Sheriff

Jtrfetenstein and Deputies Guess and Mitchell combed' trie 'river banks and "swimmin" holes" Tuesday warning against the practice of bathing without proper clothing. Six youths, wearing ©nly smiles, were found disporting themselves in the waters at the foot of Second avenue.

Benjamin, 16, 1010 North Seventh

V street Clifford Bess, 16, Seventh street and Sixth avenue and William McKenzie, 16 years old.

Judge Newton told them that complaints pour in every day from motorbpat owners c.nd excursion boat picnickers of the nude bathers along the banks. Aftei Informing them that the -offense was punishable by a sentence totaling 290 days on the penal farm,

Judge Newton askeu them if they could leave for the farm at once. Charles C. Benjamin, father of Raymond Benjamin, then received permission pf the court to speak, and made a plea for the boys that they were ignorant of the law, and did not violate it wilfully. "Boys will be boys," said Judge Newton, "and it is like keeping ducks away from water to tell boys to stop swimming. But this must be heeded: No swimming will be allowed in the river unless the bather has the proper garments. If you boys have any friends ybu had better tel! them before they are serving a 290 day sentence on the penal farm." He then released the boys.

RACE RIOTING ME IN WAKE OF KILLINGS

CHICAGO. July 19.—Crowds gathered In the vicinity of 320 Irving avenue, where vesterday the negro, Henry P. Mclntyre, in an orgy of killing, sent four people to their deaths, and was himself, together with his wife, later killed, gave ri&e to fears of possible race rioting early today, and caused fifty policemen to b' despatched to the scene. They dispersed the crowd quickly, and the danger was declared to have been avoided. To prevent further difficulty negroes were ordered by the •police to keep off-the streets.

Reports from local hospitals today indicated that the police officers and others wounded in yesterday's tragedy probably would recover. Edward Clement, detective-sergeant, was said to. be in the most serious condition.

Among the effects found in Mclntyre's house after the bodies had been removed was a letter which he had written to Prince Menclik, of Abyssinia. In it Mcln'.yre proposed colonizing American negroes in Abyssinia, stating that he had "organized a church and also an immigration league in the name of the Abyssinian government."

Another negro who, like Mclntyre, worried about the sins of the negro race, occupied the attention of the police today. He was. George Flower, a laborer, who in .scant attire and his body "anrtointed" with lard was racing up and down in front of his home trying to' "drive the devil from the race" wh'en a policeman arrested him.

Detectives were at work in the negro section in which Mclntyre lived today to ascertain where weapons were kept.

Firestone quality had developed the enormous business of nearly seven and a half million dollars back in 1910— then we moved into our new factory—America's largest and most •efficient Tire plant. Year by year the demand increased. Year by year the factory was enlarged—according to original plans. Result, our last fiscal year—August to August—the sales record was over Twenty-Five Million.. And this year, up to June 1, we are 38# over liast year. This remarkably rapid and steady growth^ in demand for Firestone Tires could result only from the Firestone advantage of Exclusive quality at volume price.
