IMMENSE 1 J TIICES' BUBJ5ATT AT STATE CAPITAL. INDIANA POLli. Ind.. Aprl) -1. Prof. G. 1. Christie, state food director, estimates that the com crop of Indiana this year will be 20.000.0.0 bushel! greater than in former years, provided god weather conditions favor the growing of the crop. He says that, while the increased average of com "viM nor. be great, the more careful and scientific planting and cultivation of the cr.p will rroduce n much greater yield than formerly. Prof Christie has announced that the agricultural department of Purdue university has sent a large number of vr.n out into the various counties of t'-e state to help the farmers in the campaign for increased corn crops. In :he number are 29 vocational teachers c-f agriculture in the public schools, whose release from school work for this duty has been obtained from the school boards: 41 county agricultural Eents. S senior agricultural students ft Purdue, four teachers of agriculture. 'u of whom wilKdevote two full weeks to the testing o? seed corn and other instructions to farmers int corn raising. There re also SO agricultural ciub supervisors throughout the state whose service have been taken over by Purdue for rh . purpose of working among boys and girls to teach them better methods of grici.ltur. Indiana hRS a "corn belt" of about fiO counties in which most of this workwill be done. The TVpartment of Agriculture at Washington has sent word to Indiana stare authorities that It has designated the following as the corn counties of the state: Benton, Knox, Montgomery, Tippecanoe, Boone. Clinton. Madison. Shelby. M'hite, Hamilton. Hendricks. Randolph. Titish. Warren. Allen. Carroll. Delaware. Fountain. Gibson. Grant. Henry, Jasper. laporte, Newton. Posey, Sullivan. V."ane, Bartholomew, Cass. Daviess. Greene. Hancock, Howard. Jay, Johnson. Kosciusko. Marion. Miami. Morgan. Parke. Putnam. Tipton, Vigo. WeTIs. .Adams. Decatur, Elkhart. Fulton. Huntington. Jackson. Lake. Marshall. Torter. Pulaski. St. Joseph, Spencer. Wabash and Warrick. The department says these are the counties in which the effort should be made to Increase the corn production. Corn and hogs these are the two crops which Prof. Christie hopes the farmers will increase this year in the more food" campaign. It was brought out at the meeting of the Indiana committee on food production and conse rv ation. yesterday afternoon, that many tenant farmers over the state are not financially able to finance a larger pig crop this year, and the committee will urge bankers to finance them in this project, in. order that the meat supply may be increased. Tt was shown that there are about 825,000 farms in Indiana, and that 64,6.7 of them are farmed by tenants. Of this number, 14.218 pay cash rental for the farms, while 50,45 farms are farmed on r-h i res. Tt was shown that if these tenant farmers were financed so that they roirht raise 1,500.000 pigs this year and raise enough corn to feed them until they reach a w"?ight of 225 pounds, these pigs would be worth at present prices approximately J50.000.000. So, it vas said, the importance of financing .i.-c- 'uoi.ict in in. -ins t-"S 9 ruui l one of the most important features of the entfre campaign. It was said, too, that bankers all over the state have expressed a patriotic willingness to f nance these men and supply them with the necessary money. Another proposition with which the committee will deal shortly ia that of devising some kind of system for a clearing house through which farmers and gardeners may market their products without upsetting markets and without the losses that so often accrue by reason of dealings with middlemen and commission merchants. The retail grocers of the state are asking that some such system be establlshede. The farm labor problem still troubles the farmers. They cannot get enough farm help. This is responsible for the failure of farmers to plant a greatlyincreased acreage. It is said that even the sugar beet acreage in the sugar beet district will be short this year. The sugar beet belt is located in Huntington, Adams. Allen and other counties in that part of the state, BBAOTXTTJX PICTUBB OT ALICE JOTCB nil.

THE SYSTEM Continued' From Page One) least one hundred members and a motion was passed in favor of select conscription without a dissenting vote. Since coming home from Washington 1 have talked with a great many men on this question and I find that they all. except the most radical Germans, are advocates of this method of recruiting an army immediately. "The objection to the volunteer system in my opinion and the opinion of others with whom I have talked is that it calls to the service men of all ages, occupations and conditions to the injury of the young boy of the family and of business. We hae several instances here in Hammond where boys as young as seventeen, and I believe in one instance sixteen, have joined the army and hence must meet the strenuous work of modern military training and at time when it almost invariably injures them and results in some permanent physical defect. Men also volunteer for the servwho should remain at home and care for those dependent upon them. Men also volunteer for army service whose skill and knowledge of the business in which they are engaged is such that they could much better serve their country by continuing therein. Many businesses are crippled as a result of such men sudenly leaving their employment and joining the army. "I am iniormed by those you have had long experience as army officials that military service today and the training necesary to meet the 'requirements is far from what it was at the time of the Civil War and as late as the Spanish war: that the modern efficient army must be made up of mature and hardened troops. With the present prospects before us I regret to see any man under the age of twenty years join the army when we have millions above that age and below the age of twenty-six from which could be selected those who would the least crippie the industries of the country and who would not leave behind them dependent families. "This system would also prevent a condition which always exists in every community at a time like this when an army is to be raised under the volunteer system, a condition which causes much injustice and many a heartache. It now exists in this community in a marked degree. Boys of immature years and in the most critical period of life, while their minds are being moulded by our schools and by home training, are driven to volunteer their services even against the wishes of their parents and teachers, because they cannot stand the accusation of being a 'slacker.' Select conscription would remove this from EAST CHICAGO, IND. 4506 Forsyth Ave.

the schools, the home and the commuYitty. I have no selfish motive in this view, for my only son is but fourteen years of age and my country would not accept my services on the firing line even though I were so brae as to offer

in. i musi - rnni'ni, as . on, to j "l.ni lor my -cuniry in oiner ways man in the strenuous work of the field of battle. "I am Inallerably against the volunteer system at this time or any other time. Iet us have at least our first great army made up of strong, mature young men who can act as a unit and whose patriotism canot be measured by the mariner in which he became a soldier. "1 understand from those of military experience and authority that at the present rate of volunteer recruiting it would take about ten years to recruit an army which this government is nowcalling for. If this is true, at this time when the patriotism of every citizen should respond to the call of his country if it ever did in our history, howcan we expect to meet the present emergency completely and efficiently? "Well. 1 have written more than I intended when I started, but I knowthat you desire my candid opinion on this question. I cannot see it any other way and I hope that you will not consider this in the light of criticism. I appreciate that you are there on the ground and have sources of information from military authority which I have not. But I do believe that at this time we should be guided largely by the opinion of those who have devoted thei? lives to the study of military affairs and I believe Congress should give the military organization of this country a fairly free hand to meet this situation which no man knows the outcome of. "I had a brother, the baby of the family, seventeen years of age. who was one of the army that his government and mine sent to Cuba during the Spanish war and he died a vfctim of the shameful unpreparedness of this great nation. He volunteered his services against the wishes of the entire family, but the army accepted him. If equitable select conscription had then prevailed he might have lived to serve his country as he should. That is just one of hundreds of instances of the Spanish war and when I thing of the same system now after the lesson of England I resent it with all the power I have and hope that you as one of the representatives of the reople will oppose to the last ditch the inequitable volunteer system. "Tours very truly, "C. B. TIN'KHAM." "P. . . I am for increase in pay of the soldier." 515,11 GIFT TO BY rkv. ri.ovn ft. AD. W-. I Pastor of First Baptist Church. The Hammond Baptist church is in the midst of one of the most significant campaigns in its history. When their present edifice was erected about three years ago the congregation was compelled to dedicate the same, with a large debt. The edifice was not intended merely to serve the needs ot tne present local congregation, but to be a base of activities from which this great and rapidly growing industrial and commercial center should be served in all that make for community betterment and uplift. Special emphasis has been placed upon reaching various non-English speaking peoples. The American Baptist Home Missionary society and the Indiana Baptist convention have recognized the wisdom of this policy and the great possibilities in this region and have agreed to give $7,500 each to remove the present indebtedness from the Bapaist church on condition that the Hammond Baptists and their friends provide the balance at this time. This is an unusual offer and is greatly appreciated by the Hammond people. This makes it necessary for the Hammond people on their own part to provide $.". OrtA. This is being covered by pledges to be paid week by week during the next five years. Already a iarge percentage of 'the requited amount has been subscribed and it is confidently expected that the entire sum will be provided within the next forty-eigiit hours. Sunday promises to be a great day for the Baptists. These conditional! gifts aggregating $15, mm from outside our city should not be lost or even imperilled by failure or indifference on the part of Hammond people. Wins Beauty Prize.

GERMAN ARMY OFFICER

NABBED AT RICHMOND

AFTER BOLD THREATS RICHMOMi, tV. Aprtl 21.-Arthur Hueller, a German aubject and reservist officer, is held at local police hoadquartira awaiting an examination of his record by I'nited States secret service officers to ascertain whether he has been trying to stir up .edition among German-Americans of fth-hmond. Chief of Police Harry tioudaln last night asked Capt. Hall of Indianapolis, head of the Federal secret ser Ice in Indiana, to come to Klchmond to help In the examination. Hueller has been under surveillance here for some time. Hueller came here from Cincinnati several months ago, ostensibly to become head of the foreign department of the Starr Piano Company. llemarks made .gainst the American government at his rooming place as well as frequent discussion over the telephone with a local tierninn-Amerkan nroused suspicion against him. The former fienmn offlrer told women at n rooming hou ?e that he had no fear of the I'nited States. 'They can not arrest me." he is said to have told the women. "They never can get the goods on me. If any one tries to arrest me I shall shoot him without the slightest compunction, even if my life pays for It." A month before the Zimmerman plor wis disclosed Hueller said authoritatively that Germany planned to attack the I'nited States through Mexico. He claims to have installed the engines In the C-53. t'ntll the imperial consul left Cincinnati. Hueiler received frequent code messages from that city. WILL HOLD THE OFFICERS TIMES BUREAU, AT STATE CAPITAL. INDIANAPOLIS. INC, April 21. The supreme court, by a decision handed down yesterday settled a question which has been prominent in politics in Indiana ever since the corrupt practices act was passed. The court held that a corporation cannot be prosecuted for any violation of the corrupt practices act. but that all of the officers or a corporation may be prosecuted for such violations. A corporation can only act through its officers, the decision says, and these officers should be held responsible personally for the acts which they compel the corporation to do. The rule was laid down in two appeals from Sullivan county in a local option election. In one case the Terre Haute Brewing company was indicted for giving J200 to a man for use on the wet side of the local option election. In the other case Crawford Fairbanks, head of the Terre Haute' Brewing company, was charged with supplying tne J200. The Sullivan county court quashed the indictments. In the Fairbanks case the lower court said an officer of a corporation could not be prosecuted for the action of the corporation. This decision is reversed by the supreme court. It is believed that this decision will have the effect of purifying elections to some extent, at least, because it will cause officers of corporations to hesitate about having their corporations violate the law. A corporation s not allowed, under the corrupt practices act. to contribute to a campaign fund nor to contribute money to help win an election. ENLIST WITH HOME TROOPS. HE SAYS Capt. Umpleby Urges Lake County Bpys to Join Their Home Units. "apt. ,T. ... Vmpleby of Co. F. First. Indiana Infantry. Gary, today said that young men of l.e V.e county, who are going to the war, will do better by Joining home companies in preference to the regularirmy. There is n local company at Gary and one is being organized in Fast ChicaRo. "Young men. especially those of school age. who are going away from home for the first time will feel mighty lonesome after they get away. If they were with a home unit, where they are known and where their officers know them and their families they would find their lot more pleasant. One of the nice things of camp life when one is with acquaintances from home is to get the news from home as it comes in papers and letters to all the boys. "High school boys especially ought to think of their home companies first. Many boys are going into special units with the Idea it is a different kind of service, but after all the infantry is the best.'' Capt. Vmpleby savs Co. F needs about 30 more recruits.

TRIAL BY THE POPULACE ACQUITS Continued from fags One.) was present as such. J. O. Vivian, a member of the division seeking Mrs. Herndon' dismissal, was there and 'ross-queslioned some of the witnesses Approximately half of those present were school children and to some of them the affair was a big frolic. Vivian objected to their presence and the character of the meeting Nearly every teacher in the public schools of the city was in attendance, accepting every opportunity to show bv-hand-clapping appreciation of Mrs. Herndon. A large section of seats was reserved for the parents of children in the Irving school and there appeared to he a hundred and fifty to a hundred and seventy-five in that division. Camp Fire Girls in costume acted as ushers. The board of education and Superintendent McDaniel were seated at tables in front of the stage. Three stenographers were employed in taking down everything said during the meeting. It was one of the most unusual meetings ever held in Hammond. Col. LeGrand T. Meyer, attorney for the board of education, named the charges made orally before the board figainst .Mrs. Herndon. They were misappropriation of funds, .misconduct, cruel punishment, vinsound mentality, and that Mrs. Herndon induced boys to purchase tobacco from those selling in violation of the law in order to prosecute. W'hether Mrs. Herndon was justified in using the boys to obtain evidence fof the prosecution of merchants, is also a tnatter for the board to decide, but it is evident the more serious charges have been satisfactorily refuted. Four boys, whose alleged treatment had supplied the basis for the charge of misconduct, took the stand and testified that Mrs. Herndon's interest in them had been due to desire to break them of the cigarette habit. These boys were Frank Burley. Frank Ress'ke, Frank Kjowski and Frank Allen. The eldest is 12 years of age. They said they had bathed themselves. Seven boys who had been punished by Mrs. Herndon testified she was not cruel. The boys answered the questions fine. "My enemies have charged me with impure and sinister motives." said Mrs. Herndon. "The boys themselves have disproved that. I have a boy of my own and my interest in these boys was that' of a mother." The board of education announced it would give its decision Tuesday evening. The members of the board expressed themselves personally as belieing in Mrs. Herndon's good character. Mrs. Herndon personally conducted the "Greek trial." It was shown that Frank Alien, the boy who had staid all night at her home, had slept with Van Jones. Attorney Meyer said that the board considered the so-called proof presented to them concerning Airs. Herndon as hear say and gossip. Mrs. Herndon in taking tip the question of misconduct said, "Another charge is that my little brown bungalow is a place where impure acts are committed between me and my boys." She then told how boys had asked her to cure them of the cigarette habit and ai1 "he acted according to Jhe prescription she obtained from the board of health, which included salts, hot baths, calomel and hot lemonade and was known ss "the elimination process." Calling on the first of the boys who had taken the cure. Mrs. Herndon said. "I'd like Frank Burley to cotne forward and tell whether anything impure ever took place in the bathroom of my house?" Mrs. Herndon Invest Igsted each charge made against her thoroughly, calling on all the boys she had punished or given the cure. Michael Ros-

They like visitors at their camps in Lake county, appreciate donation. of reading matter, including back numbers of magazine,, and love good thuigs to eat. This is the finding of Attorney P. J. Mutan who yesterday afternoon isited the camp of Ma jor Noble's men toget her with Mrs. S. K. Siim, Mrs. J. M. Turner and Mrs. Moran, a committee of the Hammond Woman's Club delegated lo deliver to the soldiers 210 pounds of dried fruit pe.ec.hes and prunes purchased by the club which this week appropriated fifty dollars to purchase comforts for the soldiers. The boys were delighted with the fruit. The National Guardsmen are given forty cent spcr man a day for food and while this permits a sufficient plain diet it does not provide fruit or pastries. To give these added pleasures to the men the Woman's Club and a group of north side women not in the club have taken an active part in raising donations. At the new K. C. Minas building just east of the store of that name on State street .donations of rastries. magazines, etc.. may be left at any time Monday with a committe of north side women who are in charge.
