Stand On His Ethical Bights Not Recognized By Law—Witnest Defines Difference,

Hom«r Bennett, the first person 'to fee arraigned on a charge of violating the state pure food act since its passage, was found guilty and fined $50 and cost. Bennett, who was recently mixed up in a criminal assault case Upon a 12-year-old girl, was found by the police to be working in a restaurant in the rear of Joe O'Mara's on Wabash avenue, and taken to police headquarters for an examination by City Physician Dr. M. B. Vanleave.

When the me was called In City Court, Attorney Louis Reichmann objected to Dr. Vancleave testifying and •aid that hie professional ethics would prohibit such an act. Judge Shafer ruled that a physician hired by a patient could not testify against the paitient, but in as much as Bennett had oeen brought in for an examination at the hands of the board of health and as Dr. Vancleave was acting in an official capacity, such evidence as he anight have regarding the case would be admitted.

Dr. Vancleave, under a threat of •having civil action taken against him, told the court that

Mrs. Beresford told how she and Mrs. Manson went to the Stevens place and demanded money their sons had lost, and how Stevens told her he rented his tables and that he was not liable for prosecution.

Mrs. Beresford said: •The kaiser said that the people of America would not fight, but they are flghiing. The gamblers think that the good people wiU not fight, but they will fight. "People say that if the police department would do its duty this thing could be stopped. If the firemen refused to get out and fight a fire they would be mobbed. The same men that hire the firemen hire the policemen. Why don't the policemen get fired if they are not doing their duty? If a policeman makes an arrest in the business district that he is not authorized to make, the next night he finds himself walking a lonely beat in the residence district.

I told him that he must tell nfe where he was losing his money, and he said Steven/ cigar store. "Next morning he told me that he knew something must be done, and that he wanted to help me. He said that I should go to the toard of safety. I went to the president of this board and told him my story, and he said that he was very much surprised that boys had no business playing poker, and that he would see that it was stopped. I told him that I believed that my son had lost $100 in the place. My son is now a student at the Rose Polytechnic. "At another interview the president of the board told me to go to the store and demand my money. I said that I did not care so mucn for the money, but wanted our boys protected, and he said that he would see that it was closed. On the following Saturday night I looked into the place and the game was still running. This place is kept going by high school boys and recent graduates. "I went to the store a)?ain and saw Stevens. Stevens said that there was no gambling going on in his place of business, and I told him that my son said he had lest $5 there. The proprietor became very indignant, and said: "That is a dirty lie he only lost $*.75, and another boy won $9.' 'This man says that everything is a gamble, and that I had the law on my side, but sneered and remarked: *What can you do about it?* "I was telling a business man of my experience, and he said he knew it and had given money to The Committee of Twenty,' but seen no results. He said 'boys will be boys.'"

HISS JI L.IA DAVIS,

The family of John W Pavis, the newly appointed U. S. ambassador to Great Britain, consists of his wife and one daughter, Julia. Miss Davis is a college student and one of th.- most

institute are going about the city every Saturday evening. I am going to help protect them. We are on the side of right and are going to win. Now is the time to sing 'Onward, Christian Soldiers.' Let's all get together."

Greenleaf Takes Action.

Rev. J. Boyd Jones and several members of the Ministerial as$ociation, including Rev. Frank K. Dougherty, accompanied the women to the school board meeting and heard their statements to the board.

Secretary Collings reported tflfat the Gregory Coal company had been storing about 17 tons of coal per day for the school city, while at the last meeting Mr. Gregory had promised to store 35 tons per day. Trustees Greenleaf, Harkness, Gerstmeyer and Schmidt all expressed themselves as in favor of having more coal stored and the bunkers filled.

Attorney Henry Moore advised the board to take some steps at once, and a motion was made by Trustee Greenleaf that the board purchase coal in addition to that supplied by the Gregory company, until the bunkers were filled. This was adopted, with Trustee O'Mara voting "no."

A communication -from the Sttgar Valley Coal company was read, that company offering to furnish lump coal while the mine was in operation and mine run if sljut down. The price was $4.25 delivered on the school grounds or $4.50 stored in the bunkers.

Librarian Sally C. Hughes was instructed to attend tne meeting of the State Library association in Indianapolis, her expenses to be paid by the board.

On the recommendation of fhrperhitendent Waits. George S. Wyckoff was selected as instructor in military training at Wiley, and Captain Edw'ard Beauchamp to have charge of the same work at Garfield.

Attorney Moore reported that the attorney general had decided that* the school city should pay the township for the Rosemont school. The assessed price was $2,500 for the school building, $1,600 for the four lots and $400 for the coal and furniture. The total is $4,500. This amount was ordered paid to the township.

A recommendation was received from the kindergarten teachers suggesting that the name of the department be changed to child-garden department, This name did not exactly suit the members of the board, and it was laid over until future time.

TILT AT SCHOOL

Trustee Gerstmeyer said that he was in favor of cleaning up, but asked what the school board, as a board, could do. Mrs. Beresford said they could see that the law was enforced and promised to ingly. and the recommendation was furnish the names of some Wiley High school boys who were gambling at the Stevens place.

Trustee Greenleaf said that if this gambling was going on-it should be stopped, and then moved that the superintendent of schools and the principal and members of the faculty of Wiley High school be appointed a committee to investigate conditions. This was,unanimously adopted.

adopted, but this did not lnOp the bidders any, some of whom had come from Chicago to flle bids and had not been- notified.

The communication from the Woodburn company set out the circumstances of this flagrant piece of incompetence on the part of the school heads and when Waits announced that he had notified the Woodburn company the night before that bids would not be needed John P. JOyce, of the Woodburn Printing company, took the tloor. He declared that Waits had not notified them until that morning and that he was not voluntarily notifying the firm then, but that the way he came to notifying them was because he (Joyce) had called Waits over the telephone and got the information of him. If lie had not called Waits up on the telephone that morning- he did not believe he would have been notified at all until he came to the meeting.

Mr. Joyce said: "Waits and Collings, if they had been attending to their business, would have found these old school desks before they bothered the board about it on September 20 and the board would have been spared this flagrant piece of incompetence in calling for bids when there wag nothing to bid upon."

Joyce then said either the board should rescind its resolution of January 24, 1917, or enforce it, because there was not week that both Waits and Collings did not deliberately violate it. The question was whether Waits and Colli'ngs were servants of the board or its masters. This resolution, which affected many lines of business in Terre Haute, and which was still supposed to be in force, was as follows: "That it is and shall be the policy of this board that all contracts for labor, material or supplies which may be entered into by this board, or any one under the supervision of this board, shall be let to local people or concerns in all cases where the bids of the local people or concerns are reasonable and fair."

Mr. Joyce said that while many lines of business had suffered -he was prepared to show how one line suffered. At the last meeting a bill for $153 was paid to Charles & Co. of Chicago, and exactly the sa'me goods as specified in that bill could be supplied by a Terre Haute concern at exactly the same prices, and even cheaper, because Waits paid the freight, expressage and parcels post on all the items, and these charges were not made by the Terre Haute concern. So tnat the case resolved itself into the fact that the school board's resolution was not only not observed but the school heads went to Chicago to buy goods and bought them at a higher price than they could be bought in Terre Haute. Mr. Joyce inquired whether this was being done on the theory that Charles & Co. were taxpayers in Terre Haute.

Mr. Greenleaf said the resolution of Jan. 24, 1917, was still in force and had not been repealed, and he asked that the communication of the Woodburn Printing company be placed on file for reference by the board. His motion was adopted.

The affair caused much comment, and it is reported there will be more developments in the near future along the same line, some of which may be sensational as showbig peculiar business activities on th€ part of the school bead*

'WOMAN DIES IN MO AS SHEJARS HOME

Mother of Clinton Coal Man Succumbs After Attending Annual Family Reunion.

By Special Correspondent. CLINTON, Ind., Oct 6.—Carl F. Kempf, local manager of the coal properties under charge of Receiver T. C. Keller, Friday, received a telegram telling of the sudden death of his mother, Mrs. Adolph KellSr, which occurred in an auto a short distance from her home in Chicago. The Kellers had been to Ohio attending the annual reunion of the family and had made the trip In the Keller auto. They were near the finish of the return trip when the woman Was seized with the illness which proved fatal. A stop was made, a physician called and all possible ef forts made to save the woman's life, but all were futile and she died soon after being taken from the car. The ^ad message gave only meagre details of the* tragic death.

Kempf left for Chicago on a noorf train,

Liberty Workers Busy*

By Special Correspondent. CLINTON, lnd., Oct. 5.—The working forces are still pushing the Liberty Loan drive and the four-minute speakers are giving their most persuasive arguments to the audiences at the theatres. Every section of the town and township is being canvassed, and while, at times, the buyers are mov- I ing slow, there is no real cause for discouragement: People are, pernaps slowly, awakening to a sense of their duty to the boys "over there," and as fast as they do and can see their way to buy they respond to the appeals. The sales are now far past the half-way mark, and as the purchases of miners and operators are yet to be reported there is good reason to believe the township will be over the top by the finish of the time limit, which is yet ten days away. The little hamlet of St. Bcrnice, Clinton township, and Helt township, have purchased even morte bonds than their quota.

Predict Democratic Sueeeee. CLINTON, Ind., Oct. 5.—Democratic County Chairman G. D. Sunkel, of Newport, and J. N. Jones, of Perrysville. democratic candidate for clerk of the circuit court, came down from the north end of the county Friday to aid in the finish of the registration of voters for Clinton township. The local notaries and democratic workers joined them, organized several forces and scattered to every section of the township and the city. County Chairman Sunkel says the manner in which the up-county democrats have registered is encouraging, and says if Clinton and Clinton township does as well, there will be no question as to a democratic victory.

The regular or occasional theatergoer Or even the one who goes to see the trolKiors when the A1 G. Field minstrels or Rose Stahl or N'at Goodwin comes to town will enjoy "Seventeen," the Bxoth Tarkington comedy, which had its first presenattion at the Grand last night.

All elements were in evidence last night, including- admirers and even personal friends of Mr. Tarkington. those who read his books and have seen his plays as they were presented bv Otts Skinner and William Hodge. Also there were at least a few per-sons-—probably there were many others who went to see the sta.vce version of "Seventeen" in the hope of the production would measure up to the high standard set in the Paramount screening of the story the "one best bet" in the magic lantern comedies of my recollection, made so largely by Jack Pick ford's perfect inipersonition of Willie Baxter.

We get a good line on William Sylvanns Baxter at the very outset. He's just turned seveteen and he knows of a boy who has been sharing since he was thirteen and has outgrowing whiskers as result. He objects to the nick name, Silly Billy, he thinks some folks ought to call him Mr. Baxter, that just Baxter would be the way for his boy pals to address him. He thinks he's in love with Lola Pratt, the baby talking little trifler, ana he thinks he ought to have a dress suit for special occasions. Mr. Tarkington

We feel sorry for Willie, even while laughing at him. for we know just how he feels, that what is keen enjoyment for the mischievous Jane and the vampirist I.ola is torture for Willie. Stuart Walker, who first produced "Seventeen" with'his own stock company at the Murat theater in Indianapolis, had the satisfaction of taking his production into Chicago and New York and compelling the critics to admit that he was giving them something more human and refreshing than the big towns were used to. Mr. Walker is here with his production, still busy back stage glossing over the rough spots that even two weeks of hard work on the part of intelligent and capable players, many of them quite as voung as they look, have not made smooth. Mr. Walker has been particularly fortunate, or rather he has exercised good judgment, in selecting types for the distinctive Tarkington characters that abound in "Seventeen Donald

Willie Sylvanns, we note, has a taste for literature, too, for he refers to "A Tale of Two Cities" and quotes Sidney Carton somewhat to the confusion of Johnnie Watson, who, it seems isn't up on IMckens. Baxter, the fatHer, is always asking, "What's the matter with Willie?" and his gentle mother, more sympathetic and discerning than the old nfan. is trying to explain some of his oddities. And thus the story goes along until it reaches the tragic point where poor Willie is exposed before the guests at a party—as a sort of fourflusher. Genisis, the colored man of all work, tells how Willie got his dress suit, which is an awful thing to blurt out, right there before Lola Pratt and the rest of the girls and boys. All the while Willie is pestered, his 11-year-old sister Jane, a nasty little tattle tale, who takes keen delight in offending the dignity of her elder brother, snooping around and popping off just when she can
