Coal Shortage to Be Greater, Lewis Predicts.

Indianapolis, Oct. 16.—Greater coal shortage than is now being experienced in Indiana was predicted today by Ernest L. Lewis, chairman of the Public Service Commission, due to the laying up of lake traffic by cold weather and the necessity for shipping coal to the northwest by rail. This, it is said, will take thousands of cars from Indiana and keep them away fromthemines for several months. —. Mr. Lewis’ prediction was made at a meeting of railroad men at the commission offices. Railroad men strengthened this prediction by pointing out that a shortage of motive power and rolling stock confronts American railways due to the shipment of engines and cars to Russia to relieve a grave situation there. They declared that the roads are left without as great transportation facilities as will be necessary to handle future traffic.

Meatless Tuesday in Gotham Hotels; Will Chop Prices.

Obituary of James F. Hemphill.

The death of James Franklin Hemphill, which occurred on October 15th, 1917, in Rensselaer, removed one of the city’s oldest settlers. His family came here in December, 1861, where his father joined the union army. Jim Hemphill was a man without guile; simple and direct, generous and kindly, his wit was keen and swift, his optimism a tonic; these stirring attributes of fine manhood had enduring qualities, that lasted to the end. It was the stout heart of the brave that beat within him which enabled him to carry his optimism to the grave, in the face of =an- incurable affliction. Within the cycle in which he lived, he Was bequeathed a heritage in cheerfulness and generosity; these traits have left to him a legion of sorrowing friends The deceased, son of Samuel and Sarah A. Hemphill, Was born in Hunterstown, Allen county, Indiana, July 26th, 1850. He moved with his family to Rensselaer in 1861, and remained here until he was 18 years of age, when he engaged in the service of the Rock Island railroad as a trainman. He soon changed his employment and learned to run am engine and early in life was given charge of passenger runs where thousands of lives were held in his keeping during the years. He was always considered one of the safest men at the throttle and in 30 years’ service never had a wreck; no man, woman or child ever came to harm, with Jim Hemphill in charge. His 30 years’ clear road record was considered remarkable by railroad men. . Mr. Hemphill was married Oct. 19, 1892, to Jennie M. Wolf, at Pullman, 111. Four children were bom to. this union, James W., who is a private in Company A, 132nd U. S. Infantry, and now located in the training camp at Fort Logan, near Houston, Texas; Sarah Elizabeth, the older daughter, who died at the home in Broken Arrow, Okla., August 13, 1916; Margaret Bessie and Edna Margaret, the two younger daughters, and the wife are left to mourn the passing of a loving and devoted husband and father; also a brother, John B. Hemphill, of North Platte, Neb., and his only sister, Mrs. Margaret E. Honan, of this city, also survive. Mr. Hemphill was soundly converted late in life and kept the faith. His friends have the blessed comfort of a knowledge that “All is well with his soul.”

Another Charity Card Party.

Every day or so the charity board of our city is called upon to help some individual who is unable to heiphimself.andsineethe beginning of 'this organization it has been kept up by motion picture benefits and various other entertainments and by subscriptions and donations by persons who are charitably inclined and who realize the many good things to be accomplished thereby. Since we became involved in the war, there has been such a demand upon the people for their spare change that the board has refrained from asking assistance. Now that winter is coming on the board finds itself in need of funds, and in order to assist in this good work and to alleviate the suffering which will result to many poor and unfortunate children on account of the long winter, a committee composed of Mrs. A. Halleck, Mrs. W. H. Parkinson, Mrs. Harvey Wood, Jr., Mrs. Frank G. Kresler, Miss Gertie Leopold and Miss Eva Moore has formed itself aside from the charity board to give a charity card party, Thursday evening, October 18. - People are responding very liberally to assist the committee in every possible way. Through the kindness of the .K. of P .lodge, theirhall will be thrown open to the committee fdr that occasion. The committee has issued some four hundred invitations, and it was its intention to invite the people of our city who enjoy playing cards to spend an enjoyable evening. They have planned an enjoyable evening’s entertainment, as well as some very good refreshments, and have decided to charge the very small sum of thirty-five cents for each person. If you did not receive an invitation it is because in some manner your name was overlooked, as it is not the intention to slight anyone, but you are cordially invited neverthless. Everyone should respond liberally to this movement as the objects 'to be attained are worthy ones.
