LECTURER DENIES SCIENTISTS CLAIM COD'S FAVORITISM Deity's Attitude Toward All His Children Unchangeable, Says Leonard. CALLS BIBLE ‘WORK BOOK' Tradition of Christ’s Poverty Is Upset by Chicago Speaker at Murat. God's attitude toward all His children never changes. Christian Scientists do not mean to indicate that Go. loves them better than anybody else, declared Frank H. Leonard, C. S. 8.. of Chicago, in an address at the Murat Theater Monday evening under the auspices of the Second Church of Christ, Scientist, of Indianapolis. Leonard was introduced by Mrs. Elizabeth A. Anding. "The Bible to the Christian Scientist is not essentially a church took, said Leonard. "Os course, he uses it in church —but it is also to him a work book. To the business *man it is a business book. To the housekeeper it is a book of rules telling how to keep house comfortably, pleasantly, and harmoniously. To the child In school it is the textbook which teaches that child how to think. And to every man. woman, and child on earth it is the foundation of right thinking where in we may find our freedom.” Says Scientist Not Hard “But. my dear friends, there is a great difference between creed and religion. Religion demands of us that we shall work constantly and continuously to think right, and consequently to do right. Well, one might say, it is pretty hard work to be a Christian Scientist. Consider, however, your human experiences, and all of the human differences between persons, and you will find It is pretty hard work not to be one. The fact is. that you have had enough trouble in the experience you have had, and you would like to change it if you could. We have all had that suggestion. No, it is not hard to be a Christian Scientist, not as hard as it is not to be one. “Some person maybe asks the question: "Do you use your religion for the solution of your financial problems?" We most assuredly do, and why not? Well, then, some of you says that the Bible says that the Son of man had not a place to lay his head. Yes, It does say that, and on the basis of that we have been taught from generation to generation that Jesus was poor beyond the expression of words." "But if we are thoughtful, and become familiar with the conditions and circumstances of the age in which He lived, we shall see that He simply made reference to the fact that, like all religious teachers of that time. He wandered continually from village to hamlet, doing the work of a man of God as He saw it, and resting peacefully with some true believer wherever the shades of night found Him; because the Bible tells us that at the time He made that statement He was ciad in a seamless garment, the most expensive form of clothing that they knew in those days. Poor! Why, the riches of Jesus were beyond human '•omputation or expression. He made the greatest demonstration of provision that the world has ever known anything about.”
COUNCIL FAVORS POWERCOMPIIY New Territory Taken Into City. Indications that the city council will ratify the public service commission's approval of rights to the Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern ’ Traction Company to enter the commercial electrical power business in Indianapolis were shown Monday night, when an ordinance to that effect was introduced by Councilman Walter W. Wise. The ordinance failed to pass under suspension of rules, hut probably will pass at the next meeting, it was indicated. If the ordinance Is not passed within thirty days, the grant will go into effect anyway. The State fairground and some lands to the north and east are now part of the city under an annexation ordinance passed by the council. The ordinance was opposed by Heydon W. Buchanan on objection to taking any additional territory into the city until districts already in are improved. The ordinance passed eight to one. New ordinances introduced -were as follows: To require fuel delivery wagers to have firm name printed on the sides; to create a board of electrical examiners and license master electricians to require moving firms to notify police of families moved from one address to 'another; to make it a misdemeanor to wear masks or disguises on the street except on Halloween nights; to amend the zoning ordinance, making the southwest corner of Belmont Ave. and Washington St. a residential district in place of an Industrial district; to give the C.. I. & W. Railroad permission to lay two switches over Concord St. and to appropriate $13,500 to replace a pier of the Harding St. bridge over White River.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
RUCKER ATTACKS PRIMARY FOESAT PARTY BREAKFAST % Ex-Prosecutor Declares Women Would Be Defrauded of Rights. A vigorous denunciation of concentrated efforts toward repeal of the primary law was the keynote of a speech delivered today by Alvah J. Rucker, former prosecuting attorney of Marion County, at a breakfast given at the Claypool Hotel by the Indiana Women’s Republican Club in honor of members of the State Legislature and their wives. “The primary for the nomination of party candidates is the fruit of a desperate struggle for control between the old-fashioned political boss on the one hand and the people on the other during the last fifteen years,” Rucker said. “The Convention Humbug” The womon’s vote, he said, would be practically lost and she would be "as effectually disenfranchised by the rough and tumble party convention humbug as she was before the dawn of her emancipation,” should the primary become extinct, he said. "The sweet and kindly Influence of the lady in politics would give way to the baleful influence of the coarser element of her sex." he asserted. No repeal of this law will be tolerated at the present session of the Legislature nor at any other, he declared, as long as the people are on their job. Salvation of the present system, he said, would depend not only on the "well-meaning*’ attitude of legislators but on their wholesome desire to “do well.” Rucker said opposition to the law was due partly to the indisposition of candidates to "stump" for themselves, but he asked “of what kind of clay are they made that they should not meet their equals, the A.tnerican voters?” Old world dignity, he said, did not prevent Roosevelt from primary stumping, and it didn’t corrupt the manners of Wilson, Taft or Harding to walk, likewise, “with the crowds,” Mrs. Stubbs Presides Mrs. Martha J. Stubbs, first vice president of the club, presiding in the absence of Mrs. Ovid Butler Jameson, the president, paid a high tribute to Mrs. Jameson and commended her work as head of the organization. Benjamin J. Burris, State superin. tendent of public instruction, in a short address, pointed out numerous advantages of the county unit educational scheme now' being considered and showed where a substantial saving could be effected and at the same time a corresponding elevation of the efficiency of rural schools. Others on the program were J. L. Elliott, city engineer; Mrs. James P. Goodrich, wife of Indiana's former Governor, and Mrs. Warren T. McCray. * Approximately 150 legislators and their wives, and members of the club were in attendance. TEXAS FLOGGING IS UNDER FEDERAL PROBE Bv United Prest HOUSTON, Texas, Jan. 16. —A Federal investigator, said to be from Mer Rouge, La., today began a probe of Houston's oil field floggings.

Btnford announced he was ready to mftke the first arrests in connection with the flogging of Mrs. R. H. Harrison and R. A. Armand at Goose Creek near here a week ago. AN OLD RECIPE “ TO DARKEN HAIR Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns Gray, Faded Ilair Dark and Glossy Almost every one knows that Rage Tea and Sulphur, properly compounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make It at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound.” You will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients, at very little cost. Everybody uses this preparation now, because no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a tlipe; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger.—Advertisement.

Mrs. Katie Scheffe!, R. F. D. No. 5. Lowell, Ohio **l have been suffering for years whh female trouble. Was operated on five years ago. It relieved me some but I did not regain my strength. Two years later was taken sick and bedfast several months. I treated a long while without much relief. I was discouraged, my mind affected, so nervous I could neither eat or sleep and unable to do anything. We tried several doctors but one after another gave up my case as hopeless. Finally a good friend advised me to try Pc-ru-na. I did. It relieved me almost immediately. Your medical department said I was suffering front chronic catarrh of the system. I began taking your medicine in March, 1914, and continued until August. I took ten bottles of Pe-ru-na and three bottles of Man-a-lin and felt like a new person. Your medicine seemed like a gift from Heaven. It was like coming from darkness into light. We have used your .medicine since for coughs, colds and grip with good results. We will always keep it on hand. I weigh twentyfive pounds more than I ever did, eat and sleep well and can do a good day’s work. Everybody says I look fine. Even the doctors are surprised. I cannot thank you enough and will always recommend Pe-ru—na to sufferers from catarrh.” MRS. KATIE SCHEFFEL. R. F. D. No. 5, Lowell, O.

POLICEMAN TELLS OF HIS NARROWEST ESCAPE
“Henry Ruthben paid the penalty in the electric chair in Ohio for killing a policeman at Cleveland,” said Captain of Detectives Jerry Kinney today, as he recalled what he believes was the narrowest escape he has had in his more than thirty years of police experience. “But Ruthben nearly killed me when I arrested him,” he added. “There is the scar,” and the famous detective pointed to a small scar that reached across the back of his finger. "That always reminds me of that case. Ruthben was a desperate man. He was colored and was wanted for burglary and murder. He killed a policeman and shot his way out of Cleveland. He shot a policeman in Michigan and a deputy sheriff In Bucyrua, Ohio. I was captain of detectives at the time and John Holtzman was mayor. It was about eighteen years ago. I got a tip that Ruthben was in a house on Fayette St., near Twelfth St. Five detectives were to make the raid on the house. Gerber was to enter the rear door and Dugan was to remain at that door and cover. John Morgan was to watch the front windows, while Splann was to guard the front door, which was on the side of an L-shaped, threeroomed house. I was to enter the house by the front door. As we closed in on the house Ruthben was sitting on the front door step and he held a revolver in his hand. When he saw me he ran Into the house and I followed. “I was In the front room when I heard a shot in the next room. Gerber had fired and Ruthben had received a flesh wound. Like a wild animal Ruthben rushed back into the room where I was and stuck his ,38-callber revolver into my stomach. How I switched my revolver from my right hand to my left hand I don’t know, but I did. Then I seized Ruthben’s revolver as he pulled the trigger. This

He tried to fire, but the trigger only cut my finger and the hammer did not go back far enough to explode the cartridge. I twisted Ruthben’s arm and he showed signs of great pain. It was not from the wound from Gerber’s gun, but as a physician showed me later from an old bullet wound. A bullet had lodged in his shoulder and the wound healed over

it. When I twisted his gun arm the bullet in the old wound pressed on a nerve. ‘"When he was tried in Cleveland they kept him in a steel cage in the courtroom. The gun with which he tried to kill me was the same he used to kill the Cleveland policeman. A burr in the barrel made a mark on all bullets fired from that gun and this bit of evidence did much to send Ruthben to the electric chair.” Black and White Bandings of white crepe de chine are used on a gown of black and white crepe with a pleated overtunic and a long, bloused bodice.
