BOARD 01 CHARITIES CLOSES FIRST YEAR

Reports Spl ndid Work Accomp lished—Mos t Valuable Step Toward Sy: tem in This Field. —

A well att nded meeting of the Board of Ch rities was held at the home of Geo. F. Meyers Monday evening. The oard has been organized just on, year and a review of the work act omplished. js prooif of the excellent work made possible by organizer charities. The membership cons sts of a representative from each o the churches of the city, a member appointed by the city council, a. member of the civic association, md the following persons by righ of office: superintendent of city s ‘hools, superintendent and matron Qf county farm, city health offic r, township trustee, truant offic -rs and members of a relief xomini tee. If each member would attene and furnish the information that his position enables him to obtem, still greater help could be rei dered the community at less exper se. ZZZZ The objects off the association are, to be the ce iter of inter-communi-cation betwe, n the various churches and social a id charitable agencies in the city; to foster harmonious co-operation between them, and to check the e - ils of overlapping relief, and for this purpose to establish a genen 1 registration bureau for the use o’ all such agencies. To investigate Ihe cases of all applicants for re ief which are ref erred directly to the association and to send the person or societies having a legitimate interest in such cases full reports -jf the investigation. To procure work for poor persons who' arc capable of being wholly or partially self supporting and in other wa 7 s help families to become independent of the need of material reli -f.

To develop volunteer personal service to dependent. To inform the public of the various plans fir relief work. To promote the general welfare of the city by social and sanitary reforms and by the establishment and maintenance of any activities to this end. The officers of the association are, President, Geo. F. Meyers; vice-pres-ident, Mrs. John I. Gwin; secretary, Rex Warner; treasurer, Wm. Day; chairman relief committee, Mrs. A. P. Burton.

During th< past year several children have been taken fropi destitute or improvident homes and placed in the Julia Work Home at Plymouth. Arrangements were made through a local physician with a specialist in Chicago for an optical operation for an afflicted little girl but her health has been such since her attempted suicide that this has not yet been possible. Homes and clothing have been provided for some. Nurses have been hired to attend those who were unable to have the necessary attention during severe illness. Fuel and food have -been provided for those who needed more than the apportionment allowed each family by the trustee. The needs of applicants have been as thoroughly investigated as possible and help obtainedthro igh the proper channels; or relatives at a distance, lodges or other organizations. A room has been secured in the court house where clothing that is donated is kept and where the needy are sriDDliaL-_„ ; Much good has been done with a very small expenditure of money and much voluntary labor on the part of the members of the board. The board is grateful for the newspaper help in urging the public to send every applicant for help to the board and thus put ari end to the giving to cases that have not been investigated and also of relieving the public of the annoyance of numerous solicitors. Give your money to those whose business it is to see that none of it goes to imposters. During the last year no money has been asked for by the board, as it has been able to meet the necessary expenses with the money turned into the treasury by the various charitable agencies. No extended effort will be made to replenish the treasury, which is nearly empty, until next fall, when a systematic canvass will be made; but to meet the immediate needs of the board a benefit will be given at the Rex Theatre on the evening of Thursday, April 16th, for which each member of the board will be expected to sell 20 tickets. To save them unnecessary labor and inconvenience please do your part by asking them for a ticket instead of waiting for them to ask you, which is an embarassing duty for some. The tickets, which are 25c each, can be obtained from any member of the board or at Warner's hardware store. An effort will be riiade to have a special program in connection with the pictures. The money is needed to pay the expense of a nurse, etc., in a case of serious sickness in the family of a highly respected and most worthy citizen. So please help in a worthy work by buying a ticket. (Signed.) Chairman Publicity Committee.

OUR DEBATERS LOST IN BOTH CONTESTS

Delphi Proved Too Much For Our Representative—First InterScholastic Debate-

Rensselaer high school lost in both of the debates Tuesday evening, the Delphi debaters proving their undeniable right to the decisions. Apparently better trained and exhibiting the easy mariner of persons accustomed to speak before pub ic gatherings the Delphi lads who visited Rensselaer were well entitled to the decision given by the udges. This was the first interscholastic debate in which Rensselaer has indulged and the first for Delphi for many years. It was the first in which any of the contestants had ever indulged. The subject was: “Resolved, that an Income Tax is Practicable in the United States.” In Rensselaer the debate was held in the high school auditorium, our affirmative team composed of Russell Warren and Dwight Curnick, meeting the Delphi negative team composed of Frank Wagoner and William Mahanna.At the same time our negative team, composed of Flvyn Allman and Robert Reeve met Delphi’s affirmative team, composed of Lake Rariden and Floyd Swa tz. Both of the Rensselaer teams suffered defeat, but they are in no manner discouraged because of this fact, and the experience will prove valuable to all Who participated and should inspire them to greater endeavor in future contests. In Rensselaer Dwight Curnick led off for the Rensselaer school, and made a favorable impression.—He is a member of the sophomore class and was the youngest of the debaters, but he had an excellent grasp of the income tax and his argument was forceful and deep. He was so-1 lowed by Mr. Wagoner, of Delphi, who had planned a number of apt comparisons to prove his contention that an income tax was a tax on industry and placed a premium on idleness and failure. He spoke with enthusiasm and while his points were not numerous he developed each in fine style and his sentences were well rounded and forceful.

Russell Warren followed and also made a good speech, but he exhibited some embarrassment and was hardly so effective as he is capable of and had shown himself in the preliminaries. He made a number of points, but did not present them so effectively as did ihis opponents. Wil! Mahanna followed and in an extemporaneous manner he discussed with the grace of an old debater the points which the affirmative debaters had made and with considerable effect attacked the positions his opponents had taken. His language was well chosen and apparently he is possessed of a vocabulary unusual for one of his age and experience. Mr. Wagoner then made ihis rebuttal speech and was even more effective than he had been when he first spoke. He put considerable feeling into his delivery and had some very telling arguments against the practicability of an income tax. Russell Warren closed the debate with a very good short speech in which he opposed several of the statements made by the negative debaters. He made a number of points but did not clothe his argument in so nice a stylo as his opponents and showed less preparation as well as less ease in delivery. ■'

The judges were Principal C. J. Dexter, of the West Lafayette high school; Prof. Bernard Sobel, of the English department of the Lafayette high school, and Superintendent N. W. Coil, of the Monon schools. Mr. Dexter is a son of George Dexter, formerly of this city, and was born in Jasper county. He is 'a nephew of H. J. Dexter, of Union township. The judges were unanimous in their decision in favor of the Delphi debaters and it w'as the opinion oi almost all who heard the debate that they were entitled to the decision. The Delphi lads were accompanied here by Prof. W. S. Buckingham, of the schools of that city. The high school orchestra furnished some good music. The orchestra is directed by Miss Stover and is composed of the following high school pupils: Miss Anna Leonard, pianoist; Beatrice and Fern Tilton, Ruth Wood and Miss Stover, volins; Lura Halleck, cello; Robert Loy, snare drummer, and the old reliable John Healy, cornetist. The Rensselaer ministers were at the debate and most of the teachers and a large number of scholars, but not many citizens. i The Debate at Delphi. Prof. Ira Coe accompanied the negative debaters to Delphi, where the judges were three young lady school teachers from logansport, Misses Mehaffie, Hutton and McConnell. One of them cast her vete in favor of the Rensselaer debaters, while the other two gave their vote to Delphi. - Rensselaer was handicapped somewhat in this contest, as Edward Rose was to have been a member of the team, but a case of mumps prevented his going and his alternate, Robert Reeve, had short

time for preparation. The Rensselaer boys were complimented by the judges and by Superintendent Henderson and Principal Pletcher, of the Delphi schools. They spoke of Robert’s forceful delivery and accorded to Elvyn the honor of being the best speaker of the four. The adverse cditicism was of EJvyn’s voice, but the judges held that his use of English was excellent and his presentation fine. The treatment accorded by Delphi was spelndid, special courtesies being extended by instructors and pupils. Mayor Smith presided at the Delphi meeting, While Superintendent Dean presided at the meeting here. The success of the contest is very pleasing notwithstanding the defeat of Rensselaer and as explained by Superintendent Dean it is a new school enterprise which it is sincerely hoped will be developed in the years to come.

“BUND TIGERS” RAIDED AT GOODLAND

Member of Town Council Under Arrest Charged With Dlegal Sale of Intoxicants.

Goodland had a “blind tiger” raid last Saturday night, when, (headed by Town Marshal O. H. Mohney, a dozen citizens searched the pool room run by Chan Smith, the tailor shop of John Weickert and a “club room” over the tailor shop. Evidence of an iricriminating nature was found in each place and Fred E. Noel, a bookkeeper in the grain elevator at Goodland and a member of the town council, was placed under arrest. Noel is accused of operating a “blind tiger” in the room over the tailor shop, which has been designated .a club room, a real estate office and a few other things, but which, good citizens claim, is really maintained for the purpose of selling liquor. Noel is what is termed a “square out bad man.” He admits that he is in favor of saloons and of the liquor traffic and he was elected a member of the board of trustees of the town by the liberal element. He is an expert bookkeeper but his good qualities are said to be sadly soiled Iby his association with the most demoralizing conditions in the community. Noel was present when the raid took place and he demanded that she marshal and his deputies withdraw and not search the “club room.” When they advanced he jerked off his coat and defied them; saying that he would take any of them single handed and if he did not “get” them at that time he would later. His threats were of no avail and the room was searched and it is said a keg of beer and a number of bottles were found. Noel was arrested and this preliminary trial took place at Goodland today (Wednesday.) In the Weickert tailorshop 16 quart bottles of beer were found, which the tailor claimed were purchased for his own consumption. He was not arrested but his place will be watched carefully. Chan Smith’s poolroom gave up a quantity of “Ritz,” one of the numerous beer substitutes that ufacturers claim to possess all the palate satisfying qualities of the real article, but which retailers always try to make temperance people believe Is as “soft” as the neck of a goose. The “Ritz” was confiscated and will be analyzed and upon the result will the proscution of Smith depend. The marshal was assisted in the .raid by Rev. Geo. E. Deuel, pastor of the M. E. church; Rev. B. H. Truman, pastor of the Baptist church; Warren W. Washburn, formerly of this city and head of the telephone company; John W. Baer, a Justice of the Peace; and John Sage, Harvey Hill, Will H. Gilman, George Stillman and others. Since licensed saloons were voted out of Goodland the town has had a number of bootlegging conditions to contend with and recently the bars have (been let down and to get a drink required nothing more than the appetite and the price. The good citizens are determined to break up the evil and will probably resort to various methods to accomplish the result. ■Noel, the town councilman, is planning to go to Montana and was to leave about April 15th. It was his plan to leave the state that caused the raid, as it was believed his conviction would serve to break up the clandestine selling of intoxicants.

Mr. and Mrs. E. Ranton, Su arrived home last evening from their winter’s sojourn at Santa Monica; Oal., and have taken up their residence at their Front street home, the former J. J. Hunt residence; They had been absent since the 18th of December.
