MUNICIPAL CARE OF VAGRANTS

Gives Delphi Much Free Advertising and the Regards of ; the Lodgers. / The wanderer out of work, without money and homeless that has dropped into Delphi in his journeyings for the past year or more has fared much better than he usually does in towns of that size. They have come to know there is always a warm spot for them over at the pumping station that furnishes the water supply for the.city. The engineer in Charge, a big souled and warm hearted Irishman, has been letting them sleep there for some time past. When W. C. Smith, the present mayor, took up his work the question of the care of these itinerants came up. There was much begging from door to door on the part of vagi ants and no little pilfering and small robberies by the criminals of the class. He knew Mr. Kelly, the engineer’s kindness in the iiast, and taking him into conference they devised a plan by which a sort of municipal lodging house was created in' the pumping station.

Any man without a place to go is welcome to stop there provided he obeys the rules. The first of these is a hard and fast one that every mother’s son of those who stop there must take a bath and clean Up before he is permitted to enter the dormitory, which is none other than the room in which the big pumps are placed. Here they are permitted to sleep on the ledge running around the room between the machinery and wall or down in the pit around the pumps. These places are not so soft as beds of down, but the room is dry and warm and beats out of doors or a cold barn or freight car by many degrees, No loud talking or profane language is permissable and once In they are there for the rest of 'the night. Two nights is the limit of their stay for any one visit. There have been as, high as thirty there of a night There is record of only one man who refused to take a bath and was turned away. On Christmas. Rev. Harper, of the Methodist church, conceived It would be a fine thing to give the men who happened to be there a bounteous Christmas dinner. Assisted by Earl Cunningham he solicited supplies of the merchants, who responded quickly. These were taken to the church kitchen, where the feast was prepared and then spread In the church parlor ready for the guests. Promptly at 10 a. m., “Fogarty,” as Kelly is popularly known, marched in at the head of forty of his guests who had gromed up into the 'best shape they could under the circumstances. While at table Rev. Harper and Mayor Smith addressed them. So generous were the merchants’ contributions that plenty was left to serve lunch to the wayfarers at the lodging place in the evening and to send out several baskets to the deserving poor of the city. This creation of a warm stopping place has done much to cut out depredations in the city.

FINE NEW SPEEDWAY FOR CHICAGO SOON

Will Rival Track at Indianapolis— To Be Made of Wood as-a Two-Mile Course. On June 10th, next, Chicago will rival and probably overshadow Indianapolis in the way of an automobile race. For several years it has been the dream of motor fans in Chicago to build a speedway. At last itheir prayers have been answered, the ground has been obtained and the contract let. The speedway as planned will resemble the Indianapolis track in shape. It will be an oval course two miles around, built of two by fours set on edge. It will have a seating capacity of three hundred thousand, with anyjle space to double this if the attendance justifies. In looking over the amount of material needed it has been found that five hundred carloads of lumber will be used in the construction of the plant. Five thousand carloads of gravel and crushed stone and two thousand carloads of stone will be necessary for the work. One hundred carloads of steel and thirty carloads of nails are among the other items. This means one billion, one hundred and twenty million nails will be used. W. A. Esson, president of the American Contracting & Supply Co., which has the contract, estimate that there will be fifteen hundred men at work on the job in April and May. The race will be five hundred miles and all the officials are looking for American records to fall at the first meet. A large field of at least 27 can start, and the purse will be the largest ever hung up for a similar contest. ~\

Ford Schedule Being Maintained.

The Ford Motor Company report# that in the four months ending November 30th, there were 74,906 Ford cars sold and delivered. This demonstrates quite conclusively that the tiemendous Ford schedule of 300,000 cars for the year is being maintained. This fact is made partucularly impressive by the achievement of this enormous production and sale during what is generally considered to be the slow season oh the year. The Ford Motor Company offers an interesting explanation to account for at least a portion of this achievement, in the claim that over 660000 Ford owners are spreading thV news that a Ford is never idle: that its service is never interrupted, anil that conseuqently the owner’s time, probably the most valuable asset that he has, is never lost. Another interesting conclusion of the* Ford Motor Company is the claim that the Ford is now recognized as a general utility, and as such the American people are quick to grasp its economic value. It has been estimated’ that in-' this aspect and capacity, the Ford has onethird greater diversity of uses than any other c§r in the world. T Rev. James B. Lathi op, 89, the oldest member of the Indiana M. E. 'conference, fell on an icy pavement arid rolled down several basement steps at his home in Greensburg, hut was not injured. He says he might possibly have been injured but for his extreme youth arid agility. What is believed to be the first ease of pellagra in northern Indiana in years has developed at South Bend following a physician’s examination of Glen Antisdel, age 23. Antisdel is hopelessly insane. Dr. Edgar Myers, the attending physician, ordered him removed to a hospital,

1915 USHERS REMOVAL OF STOCK QUARANTINE

Hoaiton Orders Ban Lilted From Large Part of Indiana—Five Mile Zones. Washington, Dec. 31.—At midnight toftight, just as the new year was ushered in, the federal foot and mouth quarantine was lifted by orders of Secretary of Agriculture Houston over a large part of Indiana, thus bringing the relief which the shippers of those state!? have eagerly sought and so insistently demanded. The new* order introduces a novelty, in that it maintains quarantine by five-mile zones instead of by counties as heretofore. The only closed territory left after tonight’s orders became effective, were the zones immediately surrounding the infected spots. AH other terrltbry is opened. It is expected that most of the closed zones will now rapidly disappear, also, as Secretary Houston orders that the quarantine in each instance shall be lifted thirty days after the disappearance of the disease and the thorough disinfection of the premises. . ' In the parts of counties that are released by these orders situated outside of zones; any stock may be shipped out hereafter for market inspection, but no stock may be shipped out for breeding or feeding purposes. Stock may be shipped in, however, for breeding and feeding.

WM. TRAUB BURNED OUT AT CHATSWORTH

Fire Started From Furnace and Destroys Building and Stock. William Traub, who was called to Chatsworth, 111., Monday morning by a phone message announcing that his store there was on Are, has returned to his home here. When he arrived at Chatsworth Monday about 10 o'clock he found the building and stock an entire loss. He occupied a rented twostory brick building and carried a stock of clothing and shoes to the value of about $16,000. He had been in business in Chatsworth twenty years, starting there when he came to this country from Gehnany. When he removed to Rensselaer he placed the store in eharge of a superintendent and gave the Rensselaer store his own time and attention. The Are started from an overheated furnace in the basement and when discovered about 3 o’clock in the morning the flames were beyond control and the firemen devoted their efforts to saving the adjoining buildings. Mr. Traub’s loss is total, and only partially covered by insurance. The building belonged to a woman and was valued at about $15,000 and was insured for $3,500. She has already settled with the insurance company <or $2,900, a deduction having been made on account of some standing walls, which can be used in case she rebuilds. Mr. Traub has not yet had his insurance adjusted. He will probably not start in business in Chatsworth again.
