By Special Correspondent. BRAZIL, Ind., July 22.—Sixty-one •elects entrained at the Pennsylvania .station at 8:45 o'clock this morning for Camp Taylor to begin military training. Attorney Harvey L. Fisher, the democratic candidate for prosecuting attorney, was captain of the bunch, and Ralph Kattman, the democratic candidate for county surveyor, was among the selects.

The boys were given a great send off tify a crowd which packed the ground^ around the station. There were a few sad scenes enacted as the boys departed. but most all of tliem were in good spirits and joked and laughed with friends as they boarded the train for camp. The selects reported for roll cull at the court house yesterday afternoon and this morning marched to Red Cross headquarters where they were presented with comfort kits.

Orders were received Saturday night that all 1918 selects must report this morning for physicial examination and most of the 204 young men who registered on .Tune 5th reported it the court house this morning to take the examination. "l|he county board answering criticism over their action in putting many married men in class one point to the work of the board in Parke county. Parke county only registered 1,449 men in the 1917 class while Clay county registered 3,849, or 800 more than I*arke comity, yet the quotas called from Parke county are much larger tFian from Clay. In June. Parke county was called on for 47 men, Clay county 27 men. The July call for the quota that left today is S8 men in Parke county and CO men in Clay county. The VeMOB of this Is that the Parke county bourd put married men and every aneerted man with children in class •a* and have a larger number of in class one, the quotas being sa the number of men in class

Aunt Tabitha glanced at me. The program called for at least six hours on the water. "Ship Island Is very Interesting," Mr. Johnston went on hurriedly. ^The •haunted house' there is its greatest curiosity. The place is visited every afternoon by the spirit of an ancient mariner who charted these waters and who died in the house from a broken heart. His is the only ghost I ever heard of that prowled about much in the day time." ... *ls it visible?* asked Aunt Tabitha apprehensively. "The ghost? Certainly*

CANTEEN SERVICE FOR

War Mothers of Terre Haute to Bender Comforts to Soldiers Passing Through City.

Believing from observations on recent travels that Terre Haute is the only city of its size in these parts that does not fyave a canteen service for soldiers passing through on troop trains, Mrs. I. McCosL, a war mother, has undertaken a canteen movement to be put into effect here. Endorsement has been given Mrs. McCosh by the Red Cross, and if the plan carries, it will be known as the Red Cross canteen service. A meeting of the Red Cross will be held next Thursday afternoon to discuss the matter further. "There are so many little, yet lmportant things, we could do for boys passing through our city if we would only see to it." Mrs. McCosh said. "I feel sure that every war mother in Terre Haute would be glad to help in adding a little to the comfort or happiness of other mothers' boys. It Is my idea that the war mothers should organize to do this work themselves. I have roughly estimated that there are some 2,000 war mothers in the city. Out of that number we ought to get a very strong organization.. "It also is my idea that the organization should be self-sustaining that is, that it should not be necessary to call on the Re$ Cross for funds with which to carry on the work. If we could have a membership fee of 25 cents a month from each member, it would be sufficient to buy whatever is necessary to keep the service going in fine shape."

Mrs. McCosh said that since she had first suggested the canteen service, which was only recently, that between 75 and 100 mothers had called her by telephone concerning It. The Tribune has offered its desk service in the business office, first floor, for the registration of war mothers who wish to become members. The date for beginning the registration will be announced later.

BV FRANC# WALTER,

THE HAUNTED HOUSE. Mr. Johnston's "little'' boat proved to be a steam yacht of fully 500 tons. As we went on board 1 was surprised to note that elaborate preparations had been made to receive and entertain us. One would have thought that we were about to start on a voyage of a week or two( in duration. I commented on this to Aunt Tabitha when I had the opportunity, but sne grew impatient. "Pooh, pooh!" she exclaimed. "It was distinctly understood that we would be absent only an hour or two. If Mr. Johnston wants to go to a great deal of trouble to entertain us for that brief time, it is his affair, not ours. Be quiet and enjoy yourself."

The old woman's admonition had at least the effect of ending my remonstrances, but my fears would not be quieted and I knew thatt I should rot enjoy myself.

cularly courteous to ladies. The tradition is that his fiancee or wife (there are two versions of it) was lost at sea, and the old fellow is always expecting her return, either in spirit or in flesh. Hence he looks curiously into the faces of all women who go to the haunted house to make .sure that it is not his own dear one who has come back to him." "And he will look into our faces?" asked Aunt Tabitha. "Yes." "I do not wish to go to Ship Island," the old woman replied with emphasis. "The ancient mariner means nothing to me, while my own spiritual wen oeing demands that the atmosphere be entirely free from ghosts." "Are those your sentiment#, too, Mrs. Holman?" asked Mr. Jonnston. "I hope they are not, as I would very much like you to see the greatest curiousity on the gulf coast. "I can not claim, any great liking for the supernatural," I told him, "but inasmuch as I do not believe in ghosts I can find no very great objection to meeting this one." "That is the way I feel abont it," Mr. Johnston returned. "We know that £ven if the immortal spirit can return to earth it can do us no harm.

In all the realm of authentic ghost lore there is not one single instance of harm coming from a ghost that was not due chiefly to fright caused by the arrival of the disembodied spirit. One who is without fear will certainly not be harmed by the spirit of the ancient mariner, who in his life, was most gentle, and who, becatise of the very cause of his unfortunate demise, is particularly kind and considerate to woman."

Aunt Tabitha shivered again. **T shall not want to see him in any event," she declared. "Roxane may satlvfy her curiosity if she .wishes, but I «haU »ot-"

SIMMER INQUIRING INTO LIQUOR SELLING

Anti-Saloon Head Visits Evansville After Two Acquittals By Juries.

EVANSVILLE, Ind., July 22.—The Indiana Anti-Saloon league may take a hand in enforcing the state prohibition law in this city, it was announced with the arrival in Evansville, yesterday, of E. S. Shumaker of Indianapolis, state superintendent ol the league, who came here to investigate the case of Arthur Mack and David S^eel, which ended Wednesday afternocm in the city court, when a jury brought in a verdict of not guilty. It is expected that one result of Mr. Shumaker's visit will be the appointment of an attorney to represent the Anti-Saloon league at all hearings of liquor oases in this city.

A Stable Was Raided*

Several days ago the police raiflfcd a stable, where a large quantity of liquor was confiscated. It was learned that the liquor belonged to Mack and Stell, former saloonkeepers, and they were arrested, charged with the, violation of the "dry" law. When arraigned in city court they asked for a jury and after fifty minutes' deliberation the jury brought in a verdict of not guilty.

The attorneys for the men contended that the men had not sold any of the liquor and that th*e evidence showed they intended not to sell it. After the men were dismissed the liquor ^as loaded on trucks and sent to Henderson, Ky., twelve miles from here.

Mr. Shumaker was vehement in his denunciation of the acquittal of Mack and Stell. "'The story of their trial reads peculiarly, he said." "The question of the competence of Lane B. Osborn, prosecuting attorney, naturally arises when you read that the police say he refused to introduce evidence to show that the defendants had sold liquor to a

negTo

who afterward was arrested

for drunkenness." Makeup of the Jury, Some of the jurors, who heard the evidence in the case, are among the most prominent business men of the city. One of the jurors was Frank R. Laughin, who is a son-in-law of F. W, Cook, a millionaire brewer, who is now dead. Another was Frank P. Fuchs, cashier of the Citizens National bank here. This was the second jury trial of alleged 'iquor violations in Vanderburg county, the defendant in the first trial having been acquitted also. "The prohlbation law can not be enforced in Evansville unless there is public sentiment back of it," said Mr. Osborn, the prosecuting attorney, when asked whether he thought the state had made! a clear case against Mack and Steel. Both these men convicted themselves when they admitted that they sold liquor sine© April 2, when the 'dry' law went into effect."

He asserted the state made every effort to obtain the conviction of the men.

ADD SIX STARS.

Traiiuiien'a Organization Sends More Men Into Service. Six stars will be added soon to the service flasr of F. E. Dupell lodge No. 231, Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, according to an announcement made at the meeting yesterday morning at the Odd Fellows' temple that that number of members would leave Monday morning with the Increment of selects from Terre Haute. They are T. M. Evans, C. M. Foshee, C. Meserve, William D. McGraw, Joe Thim, H. T. McCowan.

It was announced that word had been received from France telling that Hershel Doane was missing in action. He was formerly a switchman with the Chicago, Terre Haute & Southeastern roKd. F. W. Niebrugge was initiated.

Boy Scout Notes

An additional "ace" medal has been received from the United States treasury department for Scout Robert Parker of Troop 19, together with one "palm." Scout Parker's medaP will he presented together with the six previously announced by Deputy United States Revenue Collector George W. Spencer, at the Liberty sing at Collett pr-rk this evening at 7 o'clock. All scouts are urged to be present.

The examining board will meet next Wednesday evening to review candidates for promotion to the ranks of second-class scout. Applications for examination at this time must be filed immediately with the scout secretary.

The conference of non-commissioned officers on Friday evening was conducted by Scout Naturalist P. H. Segnltz. The meeting was devoted to a discussion of plans for making Camp Kinneumapooee the greatest feature of the scout year, and so great a success that it will rank foremost among the many scout camps being conducted throughout the United States. It was felt that every possible scout in the city should attend the camp, as an efficient scout should have had a period of training camp experience the same as an efficient soldier. Accordingly the time in which applications for camp attendance may be filejl will be extended somewhat longer in order that every scout may have an opportunity to make plans for at least a week at Kinneumapooee.

It is for you to say whether, all things considered, I am to dro-p the matter here or proceed blindly in search or tne motive lying back of every premeditated crime. I can imagine none in this case, as I have frankly stated, save the very weak and improbable one already advanced by young Sweetwater in connection with another party upon whom he had fixed his eye—that or the ii resistible desire of an expert to test his skill with a bow which comes unexpectedly into his hands."

But she did not seem to mind this, and I took little notice of her, till one of the other lodgers—a woman with a busy tongue—began to aatc why this strange wohnan, who was so very dark and plain, went out only at ntgnt? Did she sew or write for a living? If not, what did she do with herself all day "As the last was a question I could easily answer, I said that she spent most of her time in reading the newspapers and this was true, because she always rame in with her arms full of them. But there I stopped, as I never discuss my lodgers. Yet I must acknowledge that my curiosity had been aroused by all this talk, and I began to watch the woman, who I soon saw was in what I would call a flustfred state of mind, and as unhappy a# anyone could be who hain't suffered some great bereavement. But still I wasn't alarmed, being misled by the name sh» grave, which was Clery.

He didn't know what I meant, of course, but he looked and listened, and when the train had gone by, I drew him down the hall and said, 'Tt*o»i heard it!' and then asked him what it was. He answered that it was a pistol-shot, and he wanted to go back and see if any dreadful thing had happened. But I shook my head and told him it was one of five, each one taking place when the roar of th« trains going by was at the loudest. Then he said that this woman was practicing at a mark, and bade me look out or we should ha^*« a house full of anarchists. At that, I loudly declared she should go the first thin* in the morning and so got rid of him.
