The operator a short time ago placed a new Remington typewriter in his office, and this was carried from his table and set outside the window, where the visitors left it.

Grand Jury Called to Investigate Howard County Incendiarism. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. KOKOMO, Ind., Ott. 3. The Howard county grand jury has been called to meet next Monday. It has been more than three years since the grand jury has been in session, but the recent incendiary barn burning and the destruction by dynamite of a farm residence in the Russiaville neighborhood has led Prosecutor Cooper to take prompt action in running down und prosecuting the vandals. It la believed that the barns of Charles Carter and Frank Brooks were burned by saloon allies, as the owners were active in opposition to Russiaville saloons and circulated the remonstrances that defeated the applications for license. It is said that threats have been made to burn a barn every Sunday until the anti-saloon men cease fighting the saloons, and in consequence the farmers have loaded shotguns handy and intend to fill the anatomies of all nocturnal prowlers with buckshot.

I5.-Mayor Brouse vetoed the natural gas meter ordinance today. This will not kill the measure, as seven of the ten councilmen who voted for the meter will vote for it again, overriding the mayor.

DEBATE WITH DE PAUW EARLHAM RECEIVES ACCEPTANCE OF LAST SPRING'S CHALLENGE. Schools Broke Even More Than Five Years Ago and This Debate Will Settle Championship. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND, Ind., Oct. 3. De Fauw University, after five years of consideration, has decided to have a final trial in debate with Earlham College. It has formally accepted the challenge which the Earlham Oratorial Association presented last spring. The date has not yet been definitely set, but it will be early in March. The question will be submitted by Earlham, and the Methodists will choose the side they wish to uphold. A joint committee, composed of members of the faculty and the oratorical association, will decide on a question within the next month, and the same will be at once forwarded to Dt Pauw. An answer is expected before the holidays, so that the debaters can do work In various libraries during their vacation. The college debate will be held about the lit of February. Earlham'i supply of debaters will be as large as usual and of just as good quality. Ever since the Quakers won their first intercollegiate debate the championship of the State has been their goal. After defeating De Pauw once, Indiana University three times, and the University of Indianapolis twice, Earlham's claim to the championship was well established, and the Quakers at once laid claim to the honor. There was one weak point in the claim. In the two debates held with De Pauw the schools had broken even. The debate to be held the coming spring will determine the validity of Earlham's claim, for if it wins De Pauw will have been beaten twice out of three times, and the claim to the state championship will be unclouded. PURDUE UNIVERSITY. Prof. Hatt Appointed to Important Duties for the Government. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LAFAYETTE. Ind., Oct. 3. Prof. William K. Hatt, of the department of applied mechanics at Purdue University, has been appointed director of the four government timber-testing stations which have just been established by the Bureau of Forestry of the Department of Agriculture, one of these being located at Purdue, one at Yale, another at the University of California, and a fourth at Washington, D. C. Professor Halt's new duties will not conflict with his work at Purdue, for he will have only supervisory charge of the timber experiment stations, and will spend most of his time at the Purdue station. Various physical and mechanical tests will be made at the laboratory here, and the government officials are sending special machines and apparatus with which to carry on the workNo additional buildings will be erected at present, but the tests made will be of much importance. Purdue has for many years given much attention to the Investigation of materials used in construction. The results of concrete, iron and steel tests are the most extensive ever prepared. The botanical department of the university has also contributed original knowledge to the structure of woods. The fact that several years ago the Purdue engineering laboratory was made the official laboratory of the Master Car Builders' Association, and has received from that association more than 510,000 worth of equipment, probably influenced the government in choosing the local university for its testing station. The immediate work of the Purdue bureau of forestry will be a study of the red gum, a wood that is of widespread growth, but much neglected. An investigation will also be made of the strength of packing boxes with a view to standardizing and determining the necessary thickness of box boards, in which at present there is a great waste of material. Prof. Charles P. Matthews, of Purdue University, head of the department of photometry, who was obliged to take a year's leave of absence on account of an eye disorder, left to-day with his family for northern New Y'ork. He will then proceed to Boston to consult a specialist regarding his eyes. Professor Matthews has received a flattering offer from the Bureau of Standards at Washington to plan the equipment of their new photometric laboratory, and will accept the position If his eyes improve.
