/Question of Salt. David Dale Owen Indiana's first state geologist during the second year of his term of office made a special study of the conditions under which i brine or sait water occurs, and on horseback traveled in all parts of the state in an effort to locate the then rare mineral. (- =

_ During the summer.of 1838 he made a trip to the then celebrated salt region of Vir&in’ia on the Kanawaka River in order to study the strata in which the salt was ébtained._ - Wells - were .afterwards drilled for salt near the mounth of Coal Creek in Fountain County, and a good quality of brine which yields a pound of salt to-the gallon was obtained, at a depth of 700 feet.. The industry never developed into one of importanc® for with the opening of the Wabash and Erie Canal, Onondago salt was brought into the state which put & stop to.the local- enterprise.

® More recent geological work has established the fact| that salt occurs in Indiana only in [brines which occur in deeply bniied sedimentary rocks which were | deposited under the sea and from Wifich it is proable that the salt has neYer been- complete ly removed. " L

DUOUDGE REPORT IN 'CHRISTIAN SCIENCE - LITIGATION FILED

Judge, Sitting as Master, Ap_proves and Confirms Posjtion _of J. V. Dittemore. e L m— e Boston, Mass.—After over four years of litigation in the Christian Science Church, ex-Federal Judge Dodge :of Boston, sitting as Master under appointment of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, has filed his final report on the evidence. The plaintiff, John V. Dittemore, the senior Director of the Church, whose service antedates the decease of Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, and who his associates sought to remove from office; seems to have been completely justified in hiscontentions that undesirable and un-' wholesome conditions have existed In/ the administration of the church government. .

‘Judge Dodge finds from the evidence, which includes testimony by the majority Directors themselves, that Mr. Dittemore’s dismissal was for the purpose of doing away with_ opposition to the wishes of the majority and also because Mr. Dittemore had sought to establish a standard of propriety and conduct higher than desired by his assoclates. It is also found that a principal reason for. the hostility to Mr. Dittemore was because of his rebuke to his associates on numerous occaslons when offensive language was used and offensive jests made at meetiing@ of the governing body of the church. Judge Dodgé holds that Mr. Dittemore <ls 'still legally a .Director and that the effort to remove him and appoint a successor. more sympathetic with the policy of the board is legally null and void. | 00l : In regard to the fllegality of Mr. Dittemore’s dismissal,, Judge Dodge says that nb [Eirector could fairly be supposed to- have accepted his position upon the ‘understanding that he was subject to Instant, arbitrary dismissal wheneyer a majority of his associates might find it expedient. The Master finds that the vote attempting to dismiss Mr. Dittemore “was only the formal adoption of a conclusion previously agreed.on outside the meeting” and that it was for his associates, then accusing him and at the same time proposing to also act as his judges, to afford him' “such opportunity to be heard; in his own defense upon the charges made as would satisfy the requirements of natural justice.” He also finds that the lcomplaints against Mr. Dittemore were not founded upon first hand knowledge and “were inadequate ground for any but a purely arbitrary dismissal.” The Judge also finds that there was never any question as to Mr. Dittemore’s sineerity in maintaining his position and that nothing said or done by him in maintaining his opinions could have constituted adequate ground for dismissing him, “unless the malority’s power to dismiss could lawfully have been used by it for the sole purpose of stifling any opposition in the Board to their wishes. ‘

The Master .declares, that Direptors Dickey, Neal, Merritt and Rathvon were animated by personal hostility toward Mr. Dittemore and that they had long planned among themselves to get rid of him. One of the occasions when bad feeling was engendered was when Dittemore refused to join Dickey,' Neal, and Merritt in attending a play in New York which Dittemore considered objectionable and which had as the leading player a person of notorious reputation. - On this occasion Director Merritt testified ‘that he urged Dittemore to accompany them. and said: “Come on with us. You are not so much better than the rest of us.” | j ‘ + Judge Dodge also finds from the evidence that ‘“Theré were occasions in 1917, 1918 and 1919 upon which, at meetings of the Directors, the plaintiff (Dittemore) * expressed disapproval of utterances by Dickey of a ‘kind tolerable only when men only, and men not disposed to be scrupulous in such matters, are the hearers—thereby arousing resentment on Dickey’s part, and sometimes on ‘the part of Merritt and ‘Rathvon.” The testimony regarding eight or nine such instances was taken by Judge Dodge in private. In regard to -all of these occurences Judge Dodge finds from the testimony of Mr. Dittemore and others, including the;broiz-examlnation of the defendant, Directors Dickey, Neal, Merritt and Rathvon themselves, that Mr, Dittemore’s account of them was substantially true and that his “repeated insistence upon a standard of propriety in language or conduct stricter than that accepted by his associates maferially augmented their hostility and dislike.” : St

Judge ‘Dodge concludes that Dittemore’s co-Directors were “incapable, ‘on March 17, 1919, of impartial judicial consideration of accusations against him, especially of accusations framed by themselves, had they ever undertaken any such consideration.” At the present time Christian Scientists throughout the world are deeply interested in the facts brought out by the Dodge report which Mr. Dittemore and others are distributing in large quantities among the membership. The progressive element in the Church seems to be gaining much strength., It urges a more consistent and practical interpretation of the teachings of Mrs. REddy: by those in authority and a more liberal administration of "the church government. Next to a cHange in the official personnel in Boston, under a definite rule ~of rotation in office, the greatest need of the Church seéms to be for the encouragement of greater local church -gelf-government and democracy accordIng to the spirit as well as the letter .of the Church Manual, and a minimizing rather than an encouragement of ‘the greater centralization of = ‘ In: the self-perpetuating Be _~ectors and thelr appointees . - FOR SALE—One Span mules.
