PAINFULLY HURT BY FLYING SIFT Ulic Stanton Was Knocked Insensible at Richmond Manufacturing Company.

CONSTERNATION REIGNED BROKEN LINE SHAFTING AND FLYING BELT CAUSE TROUELE IN CROWDED MACHINE ROOM LOSS $300. A broken line shafting, bont and flying about a crowded machine room, created consternation at the Richmond Manufacturing Company at about 11 o'clock yesterday and for a time it looked as if there would be several persons badly injured besides a large property loss. As it was, only two were hurt and the loss can be covered with $800. When a belt was being shifted to a large pulley, the belt caught in the pulley and commenced to wind up. This jerked the shafting loose and at the same time bent it. The heavysteel flew around the room, knocking over machines and tearing holes in the wall until the engine was stopped. Ulic Stanton, machine shop foreman, was knocked insensibe by the flying shafting and fell directly under a stream of running water, where he remained until almost drowned. Another employee was cut over the eye, but not seriously. The greatest damage to the factory will b ethe fact that the machine room and foundry will have to be closed down for two or three days, possibly a week, before the broken shafting and machines are repaired.

Vice President Fairbanks, as heretofore hinted in these dispatches, will be "on the go" a great deal during the summer. He is receiving stacks of invitations to address gatherings of all sorts and descriptions in all parts of the country, and he probably will accept as many of them as he can without Imposing too great a tax on his strength.

OR. STARBUCK RESIGNS IS TO LEAVE EARLHAM Head of the Department of Psychology And One of State's Leading Educat ors Will Sever Connection with Quaker School. Dr. Edwin D. Starbuck, professor of psychology at Earlham ,has tendered his resignaii to the Board of Trustees to taka effect at the end of the present term. Dr. Starbuck is one of the most popular professors in Earlham, both at home and abroad, and his absence will be keenly felt at the college. Dr. Starbuck has made a world-wide name for himself by his masterly research and broad knowledge on the particular subject of Psychology of Religion. It was a treatise on this subject that turned the attention of the English Psychological society toward him and he was immediately made a member of that body. Mhere are only three other college professors in the United States who have had that honor bestowed upon them. Mrs. Starbuck, who has had charge of the musical department this year, will also leave. Mrs. Starbuck has proven the most efficient of any of the heads of the music department at Earlham and it is largely through her excellent knowledge of music and enthusiasm for the same that the department at Earham has gained ifs high standard in the past year. She is acknowledged as being one of the finest teachers of music in this state. Open Fish Season. The open season for fishing in the inland lakes of Indiana begins May 15, (today) and from this on til March 20 it is lawful to take fish from any of these watars .provided the fisherman observes the restrictions that are laid down in the statutes of the State. Under decisions o fthe Supreme Court of Indiana game and fish are regarded as the property of the public, and under the control of the state. Under the police powers vested in the legislature, it may impose such restrictions and conditions on the taking of game and fish as it sees fit, or may prohibit the taking entirely. Therefore, it is not wise for any fisherman to think that he can go ahead and violate any of the lav.s of the State and escape punishment. There is no closed season in the streams of the State, fishing with a hook and ine being permitted at any time of the year, but in the waters of the lakes such fishing may only be done during the open season. Connect With Chicago. Beginning next Sundty, May 20, C, C. & L. trains No. 1 and 2 will run through daily from Cincinnati to Griffith, Indiana, there to connect with the Grand- Trunk into Chicago.

Lowry Wants to Paint Picture of Wayne County's Great Soldier Eut Cannot Find a Good Likeness of Him. Adjutant General Oran Perry of the Indiana National Guard is in the city for a few days the guest of relatives. Last night Col. Parry stated that he was extremely enxious to secure a picture of General Sol Meredith, the prominent Wayne County soldier, in whose memory the local G. A. R. is named. "Captain Lowry of the soldiers home at Lafayette is now beginning a series of oil paintings of the Indiana generals who served in the Civil War. Lowry has been trying to secure a photograph of General Meredith but his efforts up to the' present have been fruitless" said Col Parry. "Recently he appealed to me for my influence in securing General Meredith's photograph, so you can state that I, as adjutant general of the state, will stand personally responsible for the safe returning of the photograph if any one who posesses one will loan it to Captain Lowry. Captain Lowry sti .es that it will be necessary for him to have a photograph, as he cannot paint from engraving." Captain Lowry recently completed a series of pictures of the great war generals, Grant, Sherman and Sheridan, which now adorn the walls of the Lafayette home. He is a porrait painter of more than ordinary ability and his work has attracted great attention. His series of Indiana generals when completed will be hung at the Lafayette home.
