George W. Tudor Passed Away Friday Evening at His Home in Rensselaer—Funeral Monday. George W. Tudor, whose age would have beeri 68 years on the 24th of next June, died Friday evening at 10 minutes before 8 o’clock at his home on West Jackson street. Tuesday evening he had suffered a paralytic stroke and his death was the result. Ms. Tudor was a native of Kentucky, having .been bom in Madison county, that state, and resided there until his removal to McLean county, 111., about 33 years ago. He came to Indiana about fourteen years ago and located near Francesville, where he lived until about six years ago when he came to Rensselaer. He had been a member of the Christian church for a number of years and prior to his joining that church he had belonged to the Baptist church. Mr. Tudor is survived by his widow and four children, namely, Mrs. George M. Wilcox, Mrs. S. E. Kershner and Merriman Tudor, all of near Rensselaer, and Mrs. John Tudor, of Hartford City. The funeral will be held Monday morning at 10 o’clock at the Christian church, being conducted by Rev. McDaniels. Burial .will be made in Weston cemetery.

Walter E. Johnston and wife returned today from Chicago, where they attended the auto show. They had driven here from Remington and left their car at a local garage. Mrs. Walter English and baby came up from Lafayette this morning and were joined here by her father and sister, Miss Edna, of Parr, and all are spending the day with Frank J. Babcock and family. Mr. English will join his wife here Sunday. Mrs. G. B. Rollings returned to her home in Indianapolis today after spending about two months here with her father, A. J. Biggs and family. Mrs. Rollings has been in poor health and was here with the hope that she would find some benefit.

The many efforts of the weatherman to produce some cold weather have failed almost completely. Friday it was some colder for a time but during the night it moderated and what little frost there was in the ground went out and the roads are again in miserable condition. The forecast for tonight is rain, and it seems about ready to start on that program at any minute. For Sunday it is to be cloudy and slightly colder. Road Superintendent Gray, who just returned from Colorado, will have a big Job in getting the roads back into any reasonable condition for the ruts are cut through all over the county. It is said that drags are used quite successfully in some counties following the period of ruts created during the soft period. It will be necessary probably to employ this method as the cost of filling up the holes with rock would be very high.

The Evening Republican.

Remington citizens who have been speculating on the respective values of pastboards have been having a lot of trouble lately and also some notoriety. Along last fall an effort was made to convict Charles Raines of conducting a gambling game in the Perry Hill hotel, but the evidence, was lacking and he was found not guilty. Later, however, an affidavit was made charging Raines with being guilty of visiting a gambling house and then Raines made a similar charge against Mike Pol€n and Polen made one against Cyrus Rice and then some one made an affidavit against Charles Pefley. Deputy Prosecutor Sands gave them a hearing before Squire Dickerson Friday and. all four -were bound over to the circuit court. Visiting a gambling house carries with it a sentence of ten days or more in jail and while some of those charged are said to have practically pleaded guilty they don’t want to board with Sheriff McColly if they can help it. 1

The Habit of Taking Cold. With many people taking cold is a habit, but fortunately one that is easily broken. Take a cold sponge bath every morning when you first get out of bed—not ice cold, but a temperature of about 90 degrees. Also sleep with your window up. Do this and you will seldom take cold. When you do take cold take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and get rid of it as quickly as possible. Obtainable everywhere. C

ANOTHER POWDER BLOW HP—7 HURT

Dupont Co. Damaged SIOO,OOO By Four Flares—Skies Are Lighted Up Thirty Miles Away. Wilmington, Del., Jan. 28.—Seven workmen were burned, three seriously, in four fires that occurred at the Carneys Point, /N. J., plant of the Dupont Powder Company at 6 o’clock tonight. The cause has not been determined. One hundred and eighty thousand pounds of smokeless rifle powder were consumed, causing a loss estimated at SIOO,OOO. The buildings were destroyed but they were not valuable. The fires following in quick succession and lighted the skies for more than thirty miles around. The streets here, five miles from the scene, were brilliantly lighted. The first fire occurred in a rifle powder detention house: The victims were working in that structure. This spread to another detention house in Plant No. 3, then to a rifle powder dry house and a car unloading house several hundred feet away. There were no explosions, the accident being confined to “flares.” Two hours after the four flares a service house in Plant No. 3 ignited and was destroyed, together with 1,200 pounds of smokeless powder. This was independent of the previous fires. It was a development of the burning of a “sweetie” house nearly ten days ago. Since that time the service has been smoldering and as a precaution a guard had been maintained around it. No one was hurt.

Rensselaer Defeats Brook By Late Rally 30 to 28.

Dashing to the front in the last minute of play, Rensselaer downed Brook high school in the season thriller 30 to 28. The Newton county lads had the local quintette trailing throughout the entire game and it looked as if the red and black were due to lose their third straight game. The first half closed with, the visitors leading 20 to 17. The game was fast, but very little roughness was engaged in. Not a substitution was made on either team. The final two minutes of the game found the two teams coming down the stretch even up at 26 all. Cumick caged two pretty field goals, putting Rensselaer four points in the lead, and this slender lead proved enough for the local crew to remain in front. Warr, for the visitors, came back with another field goal just a few seconds before the referee’s whistle blew for the end of the game, sending his team’s score to 28, and leaving the locals with' ohe basket to go on. The crowd was the best of the season and the school management wishes to thank the public for their patronage and the interest they are taking in the team. The district meet will be held at Gary March 10, and the Rensselaer team will probably attend to fight for the honor of representing this district at the state meet at Bloomington. Lineup and summary of Friday night’s game: Brook, Warr and Ekstron, forwards; Clinton, C; Stonehill and Davis, guards. Rensselaer, Healy and Cumick, forwards; Loy, C.; Eigelsbach and Guild, guards. Score end of first half, Brook 20; Rensselaer 17. Final score, Rensselaer 30; Brook 28. Field goals, Cun nick 9, Healy 3, Loy 2, Warr 4, Ekstrom 4, Clinton 2, Stonehill 2.

Building and Loan Directors Held Second Monthly Meeting.

The directors of the Building, Loan 6 Savings Association and Secretary Dean met Friday evening at the home of T. M. Callahan and transacted a small accumulation of business, allowing a few bills and discussing some affairs of the business. Secretary Dean reported that practically all who had pledged stock had paid the first month’s installment and that the others had promised to get in by Monday, the last day of the month and the last opportunity to become initial stockholders. Most of the 107 persons who subscribed for stock took the Class B stock, which is paid in installments of $2 per month per share. There are a few who took the Class C stock, which is paid in weekly installments of 25 cents. It is expected that in time this stock will prove very popular and it is a very fine savings plan as it shares in the full earnings of the association which, based upon the history of othef associations over the state should be from 7 to 10 per cent. Any one who desires can take stock at any time and all that is necessary is to make application to Secretary Dean. By paying Monday, Jan. 31st, for the month of January, subscribers for this stock will be among the original stockholders, but the stock will be open at any time. Secretary Dean reported that he had applications on file to borrow $7,000 and this is more money than the association will have coming in through ordinary channels and it may become necessary to sell some more of the Class A or preferred stock. This has a guaranteed dividend of 6 per cent and so far S6OO worth of it has been sold. Probably the directors, who control the issue of this stock, will be able to take care of a few hundred dollars in the spring and persons having some money that they care to put out on this basis should talk to Mr. Dean about it.

BRANDIES CHOSEN FOR SUPREME BENCH

Jewish Attorney of Boston Named and Confirmation By Senate I resident Wilson threw a shock into the country Friday when he flamed for the supreme bench of the United States Louis D. Brandies, of - Borton. The nomination came as a surprise and dispatches say that there is a chance of much opposition to the confirmation of the appointment by the senate. Mr. Brandies is a Jew and is the first Jew ever appointed to the bench. The opposition is not based upon his nationality but upon the fact that he has been identi- J fied with certain movements of modern tonight that were not accepted by the countary. He is charged with having a sponatneous tendency of thought that lacks judicial poise and is said to be more of the Bryan type of citizen.

For some time he has practically abandoned his practice for the Zionist movement, making an effort to colonize Jews in Palestine for a nation of their own. Mr. Brandies gained national fame six years ago when he was the leading attorney for Gifford Pinchot, former chief forester, in the celebrated controversy with Secretary of the Interior Ballinger. The New York Sun characterizes the appointment as “ridiculously unfit.” Many have questioned Mr. Brandies’ democracy, but there are some who declare that he is a. democrat, but there is also an indication that he was attracted to the Roosevelt party in 1913. The Philadelphia Press says that Mr. Brandies “has a capacity for making trouble.”

Famous Ball Player Visited Mr. and Mrs. Otis Crandall.

Mordicai Brown, for some years one of the greatest baseball pitchers in the business and who as a member of the old Cubs team was one of the most popular ball players that ever lived in Chicago, visited during the week with Mr. and Mrs. Otis Crandall, also formerly a great baseball pitcher for the New York Giants. Mr. Crandall and wife live at Goodland. Since the hard-hearted managers and the fickle fans relegated Mordicai and Otis to the rear and they joined the Federal League, where Crandall was playing with St. Louis and Brown with Chicago, the latter winning the pennant and St. Louis coming second. Brown won a little over half his games and Crandall won 19 and lost 10, which is a mighty good record. Since the Feds went out of business Crandall goes to the St. Louis Brownd and Mordicai goes to the Cubs, where he will have charge of the pitching - staff, but it is not probable will get into the game himself. The popularity of “Three-fingered” Brown, as Mordicai was so long called, will make him a drawing card for the Cubs. From Goodland he went to Rosedale, his boyhood home, where he uesd to shovel coal before he became a big leaguer.
