ALL III READINESS FOR OPENING OF

YEARLY MEETING The, Important Deliberations of lyieeting on Ministry and Oversi&ht Will be Held All Day Tomorrow. THERE IS NOTHING OL'T THE ORDINARY COMING UP It Is Likely that the Call for Timothy Nicholson to Serve as Clerk Will Be so Urgent that He Will Continue. With the deliberations of the Meet ing on Ministry and Oversight, which will be held tomorrow morning at10 o'clock, the eighty-sixth annual ses sion of the .Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends will have formally begun, although the first business of the lody will not be transacted until Wednesday forenoon. Already there are numerous visit ors in Richmond awaiting the opening of the sessions, and the attendance this year will at least equal that of any former session in a- long period, and may surpass all records. Despite the fact that the statistical rec ord of the Friends in America does not show a startling increase in membership in any of the yearly meetings, it is shown that the great est increase has been during the last few years, and this fact indicates re newed interest in the affairs of this denomination. An Evolutionary Movement. Perhaps not for a century has there been a more important period in the Quaker church than at the present. Beneath the apparent calm which marks all affairs of the Friends, there is now going on and has been going on for several years, an evolutionary movement which is slowly bringing about many changes. The program for this year's session does not indicate that anything out of the ordinary will come up. The usual reports will be received and presented and the same work that has been a distinguishing characteristic of the Friends church for many years will be continued. There has been some talk that Timothy Nicholson, clerk of .the Indiana Meeting for the last three years,, might decline to serve again, though it is deemed likely the request for his continuance will be so insistent he will not decline. It was much against his personal desire that he' took up the work two years ago, but in his address of acceptance Mr. Nicholson said he believed that when any member of the society of Friends was called on by the body to perform a given service he should accept without considering his personal pleasure. Therefore, unless the meeting consents to Mr. . Nicholson laying aside the work he will be chosen again. Officers to Be Continued. It is certain the assistant clerks will be rechosen. These are Anna M. Roberts, Richmond, recording clerk; Charles A. Francisco, Richmond, reading clerk; Edith J. Hunt, Charlottesville, Ind., reading clerk, and Ancil E. Ratliff, Fairmount, Ind., announcement clerk. Other officers of the Indiana Yearly Meeting who probably will be continued, are: Clerk of meeting on ministry and oversight, Enos Harvey, Fairmount; clerk of permanent board Leander J. Woodard, Richmond; treasurer, C. G. Carpenter, Richmond; treasurer of women Friends,-Miriam W. Henly, Richmond; railroad secretary, Benjamin Johnson, Richmond; statistical secretary, Daniel Law rence, spiceianct; correspondents, Timothy Nicholson, Allen Jay, and Charles A. Francisco, all of Richmond; custodian of records, Eli Jay, Richmond; trustees, C. G. Carpenter, Timothy Nicholson, W. P. Henly, T. F. Moorman, T. C. Phelps, John H. Johnson and William A. Macy; secretary of trustees, John H. Johnson, Richmond.

Mr. Vance "tipped off" the story about the murderous assault made on Mrs. Miller, at Eldorado, Ohio, by a masked man, in broad daylight, while her husband was at the home of a neighboring farmer.

The particular copy which he called for,had an account of the attempted robbery and assault made at the home of Ora Miller in Liberty. Mr. Vance notices the tern and remarked, "Something about like that occurred at Eldorado today," and then went on to tell what he knew about it. He had been visiting there, and although he had not learned enough to give the Palladium a full story on the affair, he gave enough "the tip." A little telephoning supplied the needed points, and the Palladium was able to give its readers a good story the following morning.

The Senator says he endorses the stand taken by the war department and most of the commanding officers. "There is no one better equipped than myself to foster this bill," announces the senator. . "I . have no doubt that each and every representatives and senators believes with army officers that the canteen law is unwise yet, they are afraid to sanction its repeal on account of public sentiment. In my position, I am sorry, to say, I'm afraid I have little reputation to lose among women of the country; it's up to me to champion what I think would be a good law." . A FORMER RESIDENT HERE E. C. Martin of New York, Who Started the Daily Telegram, Spent Yesterday in City. Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Martin, of New York, were in the city yesterday visiting Judge and Mrs. Comstock of North Tenth street.
