CUNDY'S OF GREENFIELD WILL GIVE EARLHAM FUND FOR NEW COLLEGE DORMITORY TRUSTEES IMPORTANT MEETING.

With the $30,000 necessary to secure the gift of an ecual amount from Andrew Carnegie, on hand, the trustees of arlhamCollege decided yesterday that a library built accordthan $30,000, ana instead of dismissing to their jprlshes would cost more Ing the solicitors who have been at work raising this sum the trustees inUructed ttiem to proceed, and if possible, raise (he amount to at least $40,000. The solicitors, among them Prof. Harlow Llndley, who has done so much toward making the library possible made their formal reports yesterday to the Trustees. It was found that the $30,000 has been subscribed and Is ready for use. The question of the kind of building was then raised and It lead to considerable discussion. It was decided, however, that as building materials are high In price and as a library building, mode-n in every particular, is desired, the Hoard should have a larger fund from which to pay for the structure. For that reason, the soliciting of funds will go on, and when there Is enough on hand, Mr. Carnegie will be asked to make his girt enual the amount raised by the school. To Have a New Dormitory. The matter of building a new dormitory for the school was brought before the Hoard and discussed. Prominent members of the Society of Friends are Interested in building a new dormitory for Earlham, and this morning. President Kelly will announce the receipt of a very generous gift from the Hundy family, near Greenfield, Indiana. The exact amount of this gift Is not known as yet, as the donors have not decided. ' It will be enough, however, to start a substantial fund, which may In a year, be used to cover the cost of a student's hall. The kind of a dormitory and Its location, if b '.nt. were discussed, but no definite decision was made. Heating Plant Inadequate. It waa decided yesterday that the n eating plant in the dormitory is inadequate, as it now stands, and this rummer, it will either be repaired or torn out entirely and substituted with a new and modern system of heating. Catalogues of steam and hot water heating companies were studied by the members of the Hoard, but the matter was deferred until a later ses-. slon. It Is thought that for the present the old heating plant will be retained, but in a year or two, when there will be two or three new bulld- , Ings, a new system will be installed, which will heat all the buildings of the College.

FOUND GUILTY OF TAKING REBATES Big Packing Houses Must Pay Heavy Fines for Accepting Concessions. GIVEN BY C, B. & Q. RY. FINES ARE FOR $1,000 AS THE LEAST AND $20,000 AS THE MAXIMUM RAILROAD TO BE PROSECUTED. Publishers Pressl Kansas City, Mo., June 12. It required but fifty minutes today for the jury in the Federal court to find that the Armour Packing Company; Nelson Morris and Company; The Cudahy Packing Company, and Swift and Company, were guilty of having accepted concessions otherwise called rebates, from the Chicago, Burlington and Qulncy railroad as charged in the indictments returned by the Federal Judge last December. The verdicts are against the corporations, not individuals. The statutes under which convlctons were obtalned provides for fines of not lesa than $1,000, or more than $20,000, for each count. The indictments in the four cases contain one count each, so that none of the packing companies can be fined mbre than $20,000. Judge McPherson, will not announce the fines- to be imposed until some time next week. Immediately following the convictions returned aaglnst the packing companies, the case of the government against the Chicago, Burlington and Qulncy railroad company - for granting the concessions of rebates received by the four packing companies was called. CHURCH WINDOWS BR0KZN Supposed to Have Been Destroyed by a Crowd of Drunken Men Gaston Has Trouble. Palladium Stocial.l Muncle, Ind., June 12. Although detectives have been working on the case, nobody has .yet been arrested for the destruction of church property in Gaston, last Saturday night, when unknown vandals destroyed several hundred dollars' worth of windows and other belongings of the churches there. The church people were responsible for driving every saloon out of Gaston and Saturday was the last day, under the agreement of the saloon keepers witlTthe church workers, that the saloons could 'opearte. That night many persons became drunk, it being the last chance, and It is suspected that while in this condition a number of those who were unfriendly to the churches did the damage that was not discovered until next day. All the window lights in the churches were destroyed, including one fine memorial window that cost several hundred dollars. Japanese to Be Graduated. ri'jliat;-r.i Special !

Heretofore, the boards have had many complaints registered and in other cities they are wrestling with tough problems caused by complaints from people who are not "i.'fied with their assessments.

THE POWER 0HTHE BOARD

SAID THAT NOT UNTIL DECISION AS TO CLOSING STREET 13 MADE CAN DAMAGES BE FIXED. The Board of Public Works at its meeting this morning is scheduled to take up and formally dispose of tha proposition to close Fourteenth street from North E street north to the Pennsylvania railroad tracks as petitioned for by the Hoosier Drill Company. During the past two days greater interest has been manifested by the pub lic in general in the project than at any time previous, a fact due to the assertion of the remonstrators against the proposed improvement, to the effect that there is no indication that hey are to be fairly dealt with. Public sentiment is pronounced in favor of the granting of the petition of the Hoosier Drill Company though all business men interviewed on the subject express the belief that any differences existing should be amicably settled 1n a way that , would be fair to all parties concerned. Power of the Board. According to a city official the only power that the Board of Public Works has In the premises is to decide whether the street can be legally closed and what the actual damages will be if euch vacation is ordered. The Board cannot, it is asserted, take any part in the controversy between the Hoosier and other manufacturers. The feeling among the members of the board, it has been believed, is in fa vor of the petition. Whether there will be a postponement today of defi nite action because of the request of he remonstrators is not known. Gardner Prepares Statement. City Attorney Gardner is preparing a statement, in which he will render his decision as to the legal authority the Board of Public Works has in closing a public highway under exist ing conditions. The nature of this report fs not known, but it is probable that Mr. Gardner will submit it to the board today. In case Mr. Gardner does not give his report today the board will again postpone action in the case until the report is ready, as the members wish to know what pow er the law confers uoon them before their final decision in the matter is taken. Henry Gennett, chairman of the Commercial Club committee appoint ed to Investigate the advisability of closing a portion of North Fourteenth street, met. with John F. Robblns, attorney for the American Seeding Machine Company, yesterday. Mr. Robbins said that the American Seeding Machine Company could take no action in making a settlement with Mr. Evans, of the Quaker City Machine Company until the Board of Public Works took some action, and indicated that the company would let the amount of damages due Mr. Evans be settled entirely by the board. Board Members' Assertion. One member of the board yesterday, in speaking of the claims set forth by Mr. Evans in the Palladium Monday morning, stated that he knew it to be a positive fact that the American Seeding Machine Company had offered Mr. Evans a new factory site and that he turned down the proposition becauca he did not care to move from his present location. In continuing, the member of the board said: "Mr. Evans is not in favor of a fair award of damages. He either wants to receive in dollars and cents all the money he has invested in his factory or he does not want the street closed. The American Seeding Machine Company has made him a fair offer and he turned it down. If damages are to be awarded, they will not amount to much. Practically all of Mr. Evans business is out of the city and he can do as large a business with his factory located in the midddle of a ten acre lot as he can where It is now lo cated. Mr. Evans says that by clos ing the street he will be greatly dam aged because he will not have direct access to North E street, so that he can haul his shipments to the two freight houses. In my opinion the shortest and best route from his factory to the freight depots is by the way of North F street." SALOONS TO BE BUNCHED Manufacturers at Kokomo Wish All "Drlnkeries" Limited to Business District. Palladium Special. Kokomo, Ind., June 12. It seems as if the manufacturers of Kokomo would win in their movement to restrict the saloons to the business district of the city. The City Council has promised to vote on the ordinance defining the business district at the next regular meeting. If the ordinance passes in its present form there will be no saloons In Kokomo save in a district five scuares long and two wide in the heart of the city, where they will be constantly under police surveillance. The manufacturers have obtained nearly two thousand signatures of voters to a petition requesting the . Council to pass the restricting ordinance, "

T. C. STEELE'S PAINTING, AWARDED THE

T. C. Steele, of Indianapolis, has carried off the honors of tho Indiana group of artists at this year s art exhibit, his painting, "The Cloud," having received the unanimous vote of the jury which awarded the Mary T. R. Foulke prize of $50, for the most meritorious production by a Hoosier artist shown at this year's exhibit. The jury of award was composed of Charles Francis Browne, of the Chicago Art Institute; Frank W. Frederick, of the University of Illinois and William A. McCord, of Cincinnati, a well known painter. The markings of the jurors were made Saturday, on which day they were given a private view of the offerings by the Indiana group, but their decision was not announced until last evening, on the occasion of the formal opening. "The Cloud' is a landscape of great beauty and is one of Mr. Steele's most " recent productions. It depicts a scene near Brookville, not far from the "hermitage." the summer rendezvous of several of the best known Indiana painters. A waving meadow in the foreground; in the middle background a village half hidden among trees in full foliage; in the far background, hills and skirting trees obscuring the horizon line, while a great lowering cloud has lifted just enough to disclose the deep blue of the sky beyond. The cloud is the central feature, and the peculiar light effect of the entire scene finds its origin from this source. There was little surprise occasioned by the announcement that this Steele painting had received the award. Most of the Richmond painters who had been given opportunity of inspecting the pictures prior to the opening, had "guessed" that Mr. Steele was a "likely" candidate for the honor and their judgment proved coirect. Mr. Steele was born in Owen county, Indiana. Studied in Royal Academy in Munich, 1880-85; honorable mention at Universal Expcsitfon in Paris, 1900; pictures in Cin cinnati and St. Louis Museums, and in Boston Art Club and Art Association of Richmond. Member of Society of Western Artists; member jury of awards. World's Fair, St. Louis. The judges bestowed "honorable mention" upon two other tf tlsts, the first, William Forsyth, of Indianapolis whose painting, "An Autumn Road" was deemed worthy of special praise; the second, Miss Anna Newman, of Richmond, for her portrait of Prof. Bundy.

ANOTHER LARGE AUDIENCE KNIGHTS CLEAR NEAT S'.'M 'The Purple Prince" Was Even Better Put on Last Night Than on Monday Work of the Chorus Was Especially Noteworthy. "The Purple Prince" again played to a large ouse last evening at the Gennett and the show went off even better than Monday evening. It is not known how much was cleared by the Knights of Columbus by the presentation of the production but it was stated last evening that a snug sum' had been realized. One of the pleasing features of the "Purple Prince" was the splendid work of the larg and well, trained chorus. They out sang the majority of professional musical comedy choruses that appeared in this city during the past winter, while the various dances, drills and marches they were caljed upon to do were executed with a dash seldom seen in an amateur chorus. Little Miss Fannie Alexander of Marion was charming in her part of "Marie" and in her song and dance supported by a chorus of pretty girls she was given several encores. Mrs. T. E. Booth in her part of "Blanche" made amost agreeable Impression. She possesses a very sweet voice and she made the best of everything she was called upon to do. Miss Martha Geier sang and acted her part in a dashing manner. Mr. George McKone, who has won recognition in previous home talent productions, was excellent in the part he took In "The Purple Prince," playing the title role. He possesses a fine stage presence and an excellent baritone voice. Little Hiss Lucy Breed in the part of a Chinese maiden did not have much to do but well she was what the matinee girl would call "awfully cute." The rest of the principals repeated their successes of Monday evening. "'
