BOOTLEG WITH STOLEN CARS Peddlers Steal Cars to Escape U. S. Seizure. A series of automobile thefts in Terre Haute and Indianapolis has caused the police to believe that bootleggers are stealing automobiles to use In hauling “white mnle” whisky. Cars stolen In Terre Haute are being recovered in Indianapolis and automobiles stolen in Indianapolis are being found deserted in or near Terre Haute. The detectives point out that the whisky runners haul liquor in th*se stolen cars and if forced to desert the cars to elude arrest they do not feav* to worry about the Federal officers holding their automobiles.

Sterrett, a sailor on one of the United States battleships, has gone upon the rocks in Indianapolis, and tomorrow Sterrett will appear in city court to an swer to the charge of bigamy.

She said that she had Just learned that her husband had married Effie Kirkendell on May 7. INTERVIEW MOST RECENT WIFE. Lieut. M. A.

URGES CHANGES FOR BETTERING PUBLIC HOMES (Con tin Bed From Page One.) are ninety five children, of which number fifty-one are boys and forty-four are girls ranging from six weeks to fourteen years in age, in the lnatutltlon. That "the beat service is being rendered in a home which is In n deplorable condition,” the report showed, and a recommendation was made that the county commissioners take over this home from the management of the Friends Church and remove the Institution to a country location. HOPEI.ESS IN' PRESENT LOCATION. The report states that “the church really admits its inability to continue it.” “This home, in our opinion, is simply hopeless in its present location and should be moved into the country,” says the report. “The small, cramped playgrounds are simply mud holes when it rains. The laundry is absolutely the most deplorahle thing we saw The machinery is entirely worn out.” Concerning the Colored Old Ladles Home, the charity board stated that Mrs. Lucy Hayden, the matron, is "really the entire organisation as she does the cooking, baking, cleaning and nursing, etc., and it seemed to us she had far more resposlbility than any woman should be expected to handle.” ONLY TWO MEALS SERVED DAILY. \ There are fifteen old women, whose ages range from 63 to 106 years. In this home. There are only two meals served daily—breakfast at 9 o’clock and dinner at 4 o’clock, the report stated. The breakfast on tie day of the Investigation consisted of baked apples, coffee cake and coffee and the dinner consisted of meat, cabbage, potatoes, corn, bread and coffee. “The space is limited and the place, while reasonably clean looks more or less, mussy,” the report stated. The Home for Aged Women was found apparently to be the most satisfactory of all the institutions visited by the hoard in this trip of inspection. There are forty-four women there, ages rang-, ing from 67 to 95 years. The report showed that "conditions were very good, very neat and in clean order.” The board prai*ed the Urge sitting room with its piano and phonograph and also the “most attractive dining room.” Three meals are served daily there. Commissioner Lewis George stated that the report would be considered by the commissioners and action would betaken on the recommendations. * Shelby Cos.

BEVERIDGE WILL MAKE ADDRESS HERETONIGHT Former Senator to Appear Before United Brethren Delegates and Visitors. Albert J. Beveridge, former United States Senator from Indiana, will speak tonight before delegates and visitors to the twenty-eighth quadrennial general conference of the United Brethren Church, which is In session at Tomlinson Hall. The lVjture will be open to the public an- ' o admission will be charged. Mr. pvverldge's subject will be “The Minister and His Task.” Departments of home missions and church erection of the United Brethren Church will be consolidated under one board, with two secretaries directing the' affairs of each division, following action taken today. The action came through partial adoption of report of the committee on revision of discipline, and followed a long debate. Three other recommendations tot the committee were rejected by the conference. They were: That the delegates, both ministerial and lay, to the general conference shall be elected by the members of their respective annual conferences in regular session assembled next preceding the meeting of the general conference. * That the Sunday school, brotherhood and yo’’itg people’s work be combined under one board and one general secretary to be known as the secretary of religious education. That the Sunday school, brotherhood, young people’s work and board of education work shall be combined under one boerd and one secretary to be known as the secretary of religious education. The meinoralal adopted by the conference. as reported back by committee, would Have placed the departments of home missions and church erection under one board and one secretary. Ob Jection to this was raised on the floor, because. It was contended, both departments are of utmost importance to the church, and the work Is so great that it could net aocomplsihed by one sec-e----tary. A compromise was effected whereby the provision “one secretary” was stricken from the memorial. Adoption of the memorial was favored for economical reasons, and was objected to because opponents said It would binder the progri-ss of the church both in mission work and in adding new fields to the church. That memorial which would have changed the method of naming delegates to the general conference was easily defeated when It was shown that it had been presented and similarly rejected at the last general conference at Wichita, Kan., In 1917. In speaking for the comblnstion of the Sunday school, brotherhood and young people's work with that of education, E. L. Rhuey-, Dayton. Ohio, chairman of j the committee on revision of discipline, ! declared that while he expected defeat of l the memorials at this confreuce, he would make the prediction that within j the next four or eight years the necessity of taking this action would be apparent! and that it would be done at one of the next two conference*. "The day will come,” said Mr. Rhuey, “when the church must make educational work a unit from top to bottom. The small amount of Christian training which some young people receive In their bonn-s. will make this action necessary.” A second big meeting, to which the public will be Invited will be held on Wednesday night, when William Jennings Bryan, former Secretary of State, will speak on “Brother or Brute." This meeting will be free, also The church can asaume Its proper place In the liveg of the people only when the prestige of religious educational instl tutlons Is Increased to the point where they are accepted on a par with Independent colleges and State universities, and when education and reillgion go hand In hand. Dr. William E. Schell, Dayton. Ohio, toid an audience at the quadrennial general conference in seaalon at Tomlin aon Hall last night. Dr. Schell stated that religion and education were synonymous in the days of old. but that gradually the state had assumed the place of the church. i>*M the latter gradually has lost caste. He declared only 4 to 9 per cent, of the men who devote their lives to the church are graduates of State or private schools. Following the afternoon session yesterday, the delegates toured the city in automobiles provided by the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce. The tomb of James Whitcomb Kiiey at Crown Hill cemetery. Riverside Park and the Speedway were visited, and a drive through ihe north side residential district was made.

SEE AGREEMENT OF G. Q„ P. WINGS Harding Nominee Made in Senate. WASHINGTON, May 17.—The struggle’ within the Republican party between the progressive and standpat wings, may be brought to a settlement through the fight being made against Senate confirmation of Frank A. Llnny, President , Harding's nominee for United States dis- j trlct attorney for western North Carolina. Progressive leaders regard the Llnney ease as likely to be of the utmost Importance In determining Just how strong the progressives are in their own party. Borah, Johnson, Kenyon and other progressives intend, they say, to make a finish light on Llnney. They'don't want him confirmed because It Is alleged as chairman of the State committee he became a party to an understanding that negroes were to be eliminated from politics, in spite of the constitution and lows. Further, the' progressives contend Llnney was in part responsible for the switch of some North Carolina delegates to the Republican national convention in Chicago away from Johnson after he won the presidential preference primary In North Carolina. They will fight him on that ground.

Many a woman has suffered years of pain and misery—the victim of thoughtlessness or ignorance of the mother who should have guided, her during this time. If she complains of headaches, pains, in the back and lower limbs, or if you notice a slowness of thought, nervousness or irritability on the part of your daughter make life easier for her. Lydia E.Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is especially adapted for such conditions. It can be taken in safety by any woman, young or old.

Guttenberg, N. J. —“ My daughter was all run down and had fainting spells often, had a bad complexion, and suffered at her monthly periods. Her grandmother had been taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound for the Change of Life, and got a bottle of it for her. She began to improve with the first bottle and took five in all and was entirely restored to health. For a time she had not been able to attend school, but she does now. She recommends Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound to her friends and I give you permission to publish ’ this letter as a testimonial.’’—Mrs. Catharine McGlove, 304 24th St., Guttenberg, N. J.

HOLDS PURDUE FUNDS AVAILABLE Lesh Cites Board of Agriculture to Loan. Another possible solution of the problems facing the State board of agriculture's she result of unconstitutional features of the law which makes It a State department Instead of a quasipublic organization was advanced today by U. S. Lesh, attorney general. In an opinion to the State finance committee Mr. Lesh states that the Purdue University funds, whjch are Government fuijds held in trust by the State, may be loaned to the agricultural board. These funds amoupt to approximately $300,000 and recently were obtained from the sale of Liberty bonds In which they were invested by former Governor James P. Goodrich. The agricultural board had decided to attempt a bond issue as a private corporation but this plan was abandoned. It Is understood that son* of the members of the finance committee do not take kindly to the suggestion that the board be lent the Purdue funds and it la probable it will not be acted on. The sentiment seems to favor letting the board remain in Its present status, debts and all, until the Legislature can act.

F> oxbury, Mass.—” My daughter is a IV schoolgirl and she suffered very much with irregular periods, painful cramps and dizzy headaches. Sne was sometimes as long as three months between her periods and when they came she was not able to do her school home lessons because she could not even sit up. A copy of one of your little books was left in my letter-box and she began to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound for her troubles. She is now in good health, is regular and can help me with the housework when not in school.” Mrs. Victoria G. Spiessert, 74 Bragdon St, Koxbury, Mass.
