Reports of Committees on Schedule of Session at Brookside.
Election of officers today occupied the attention of the 500 delegates . to the Women’s Home Missionary Assqciation of the Church of the United Brethren in Christ convention, which opened yesterday in the Brookside U. B. Church. ‘ Reports of the nominating, constitutional and plan of work committees also were to be heard. In a discussion of “The Pacific Area—A Problem or a Possibility,” last night, Bishop Ira D. Warner,
Portland, Ore., bishop of the Pacific area, said: “In the West, the church today must keep progress with materialistic development.” He discussed the new dams, bridges and roads which have been built recently in that area and explained that the church, like the people, must rise by his own initiative,
Reports on Chinese Conditions.
Mrs. Mabel Brury MacConal, missionary on furlough from Canton, China, spoke on “The Challenge of the Missionary Situation in South China.” “The newspapers constantly present China as the nation of civil
wars, bandits and disunion within and enemies without,” she said “While this is a true picture of the internal condition, it overlooks the greater truth of the vast forces growing in strength, fostered by the growing interest in Christianity on tne part not only of the students but the government as well.” Miss Alice E. Bell, general secretary, was to conduct an open forum following the committee reports. Dr. M. A. Talley, Indianapolis, was to celiver the sermon. The congress is to close Monday. :

every citizen.”
Ceremonies as closely as possible paralleling those which took place when the statue was dedicated originally, Oct, 28, 1886, are
day. Andre de Laboulaye, French ambassador, will be present, head_ing a delegation from the French government. The ambassador is a grandson of Edouard de Laboulaye, distinguished historian who, in 1865, first voiced the suggestion that resulted in the gift of the statue from the French nation to the United States.

RESIDENT ROOSEVELT has been invited to attend the anniversary ceremonies, as President Grover Cleveland did in 1886 when he accepted the statue from the French nation to the United States.
The Goddess herself will be in holiday array for the occasion with a huge flag suspended from the torch and each corner of the pedestal decked with 48 American flags. All about Bedloe's Island, on which she stands, the harbor .will be’ filled with official craft and excursion boats. The Army, Navy and Marines will be represented in the ceremonies. The French liner Normandie, sailing at noon that day, will lay off the island to take part in the exercises, ” ” ”

EW YORK, Oct. 16.—America’s permanent “first lady” '—the Goddess of Liberty—is about to celebrate her

covering of light green verdigris, as all copper does, which not only protects the metal from the wind and’ rain but improves the appearance of the statue. The copper sheeting, 3-32 inch thick, covers an iron framework, towering 152 feet above the foundation, and is so anchored to it and to the rock below the foundation that a wind storm, to overturn the statue, would have to invert almost the whole 12%; -acre island. In the past half-century
the statue has not moved a frac-
tion of an inch. The most difficult problems were involved in the mechanics of construction and, in solving them, the sculptor had no guide but his own genius, for in all history no statue of such colossal proportions had ever before been undertaken. To get the form, Bartholdi built a working model—a figure about nine feet high. By mechanical processes this was enlarged four times to a model about 36 feet tall. This figure was again studied and corrected and then reproduced more than four times larger in copper. ” ” » HE actual cost of the figure, approximately 1,000,000 francs, was contributed by popular subscription among the French people and the government was not asked to aid in any way. The completed statue made the trip to America packed in 214 specially constructed cases and loaded on the vessel, Isere. The ship's arrival, June 16, 1885, was the occasion of a tumultuous welcome. The cases, however, remained in a storehouse until May, 1886, when erection atop the pedestal was begun, On July 12, 1886, the first rivets were driven and, beside the first two, the names of Bartholdi and Pulitzer were engraved. The statue was completed early in October and dedication exercises followed Oct. 28.

INSTALLMENT
| PLAN ADOPTED IN COURT HERE
Prisoners Allowed ‘to Pay Fines in Small Sums Over Long Period.
The days when prisoners had to “lay out” the amount of their fines in jail if they didn't have some ready cash are over for some law violators. The installment payment plan, popularized in business and finance the last few years, also has become a permanent institution in Criminal Court here. It has given scores of prisoners the opportunity to “work out” the penalties of theft misdemeanors without losing their jobs, accorde ing to Al Cooley, probation officer, If a prisoner is fined $50 he is given permission to pay it in weekly installments to the court clerk. 1f he fails to pay, officers are sent after him. “The court is able to keep a longtime check on former prisoners’ conduct through the payment plan,” Mr. Cooley said. In addition to fines, prisoners are given a chance to make restitution by the installment payment plan for any damage done in commise
sion of misdemeanors.
If a motorist in an accident is convicted, the court fixes the amount of damage to the other person's property and the prisoner is permitted to pay both fine and damages in weekly installments. Fines and costs paid by installe ments in Criminal Court in the last four months totaled $161.35. Restitutions for damages amouried to $881.
