NEGRQ BO! STOLE COAL TO SUFFER FOR HIS ACT Harrison Jenkins, Often at Police Headquarters for Misdemeanors, is Bound Over to Juvenile Court Faces Reform School. Harrison Jenkins, h sixteen year old colored boy, who for the past ten years has given the police much trou ble, was arrested again Sunday, for stealing about a quarter's worth of coal from the yards of the Independent Coal and Ice Company at Sixteenth and North F streets. His case came before Judge Converse yesterday morning and at the advice of Prosecutor Jessup, the boy was bound over to the Wayne County Juvenile Court. Owing to the fact that the boy has been a constant source of annoyance to the police, and has 1en arrested on several different occasions for petty thieving, it is thought that he will be sent to the reform school at Plainfield. The mother of the boy is heartbroken over his latest misdemeanor, as she has begged and plead ed with him .to act as he should. Even the appliance of the good old fashioned slipper, wielded by the mother's hand, has proved an ineffective cure for the boy. WOULD ABANDON THE PEST HOUSE City Health Officer Bond Makes Suggestion to the Members of Council. PRESENTS GOOD REASONS HE WOULD USE THE REID MEM ORIAL HOSPITAL IN PLACE OF THE PRESENT UNSATISFAC TORY STRUCTURE. Dr. Charles Bond, secretary of the Board of Health, last evening sub mitted to council a recommendation that the present detention hospital better known as the pest house, be abandoned and that plans be formu lated for utilizing a part of the Reid Memorial Hospital for this purpose. His principal reasons for making this recommendation were that the pat ients could receive better treatment, that the expense to the city, which now ' amounts to $207.60 per annum, would be minimized and that the present dentention hospital buildings were old and almost unservicable He also stated that the extension of Main street to the city limits would encroach on the present property of the hospital.

ATTY. STUDY CAN'T ACT III TWO CASES

He Is Under Obligations to Other Clients and Can't Help the City. EXPLAINS TO COUNCIL CITY ATTORNEY WILL FIGHT MUNICIPALITY IN GARTSIDE CASE AND IN THE SUIT OF MRS. LINCOLN. City Attorney Study at council meeting, last evening, stated that as he had been retained as a council by William Gartside, before he assumed the office of city attorney, he would be unable to represent the city in the suit, recently brought by Mr. Gartside, against the municipality for an increase in the amount of damages awarded him by the Board of PuKic Works, in connection with closing of a part of North Fourteenth street, for the benefit of the American Seeding Machine Company. Mr. Study "recommended that former City Attorney A. M. Gardner be employed to represent the city in the case, Mr.- Study further stated that he had been retained as counsel by Mrs. William Lincoln in her suit against the city, which is how pending in the appelate court, which convenes the second week of this month. Mr. Study stated that Attorney Forkner, of New Castle, and Attorneys J. F. Robbins and A. -M. Gardner had represented the city in this case at different times, and recommended that anyone of these three attorneys be retained by the city to argue the case before the appelate court. The matter was referred by council to the finance committee with power to act. OFFICES TO BE CLOSED County Officials Show Respect to Mrs. Hanes, Whose Funeral Takes Place Wednesday.

" ' Because the jury commissioners se lected John B. Chenqweth of Randolph county to serve on the Wayne county grand jury there will be no session of that investigating body for this term of court. The case is an unusual one and per,iyips without parallel in this state. The commissioners in drawing the jury thought that Chenoweth lived in this county, and the sheriff in serving the jurjv men, found that he did not live in Wayne county but thought the com missioners had meant to select Josh ua Chenoweth, who lives near the Randolph county line. Yesterday morning when the jury assembled to begin its deliberations, Joshua Chenoweth was among the number and it was then that the mis take was discovered. The jury was dismissed by Judge Fox and as en ough time does notremain to legally draw another jury, the county will be without one for the October term of court. ' A large numb: of witness es had been summoned to appear be fore it and they have been dismiss The prosecutor will now be com pelled to try a number of cases which were to come before the grand jury without the assistance of those offi cials, in helping him to collect evi dence. Several things which were to have been investigated will have to rest, although cases of any conse quence will be prosecuted on infor mation of the prosecutor. Went to Cleveland.

ACCUSERS OF REV.

OLIVER M. fRAZER WEREJRITICISED Friends are Advised to Refrain from Carelessly Giv ing Credence to Rumors of Unsound Doctrine. REPORT OF MEETING ON MINISTRY AND OVERSIGHT Indiana Yearly Meeting Will End Its Labors this Morning Delegates Named to the Five Year Meeting. . The deliberations of the Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends will close this morning at 10:30 o'clock. Much business was disposed of at the session yesterday and the Meeting might have been closed last night had it not been that a few minor reports, yet to be heard, were not ready. The session will take up at 9 o'clock today and close up all unfinished business in quick time. The Meeting yesterday afternoon heard the report of the Meeting on Ministry and Oversight, which body considers subjects which have reference to the spiritual needs of the church. The report took up the matter of charges of unsound doctrine, brought against the Rev. Oliver M. Fraze. by the pastoral committee of the Yvtiitewater church of Richmond. The matter was handled in such a way, however, that the Rev. Mr. Frazer's name was not mentioned, nor that of the Whitwater, church, but all who heard the report fully appreciated what was meant. The report up held the Rev. Mr. Frazer and took to task the members of his church, who had made charges against him. Text of the Report. It said, -"Our members are'' further advised to refrain from giving credence to rumors of unsoundness, where no charges could be proven and not to assist in the circulation of such rumors." The pastoral committee at the Whitewater church, after having charged their pastor - with a faulty doctrine, refused to appear against him at the Quarterly Meeting, which took up an investigation of the case. The Rev. Mr. Frazer was exonerated by the Quarterly Meeting and now he is further approved by having the Meeting of Ministry and Oversight censure his accusers. in tneir report the Meeting on Ministry and Oversight suggested series of questions to be taken up by the monthly and Quarterly Meetings for discussion. Among these were two very weighty propositions as fol lows: "Does the advance of science demand an altered teaching of the Bi ble?" and "The Completeness of the Divine Revelation." This phase of the report aroused a spirited discus sion among the Friends, perhaps the most heated of any yet held. Several contended that the church members were not competent to take "up such questions, and would only arouse ill feeling and a ' spirit of strife by so doing. Others thought that the Friends were so mentally equipped that they could approach any subject, no matter how momentous. The matter was finally put to the Meeting by the Clerk and as there was a di vision of sentiment, the question will not be given to the smaller bodies for their consideration. It is the rule of all Quaker gatherings that their ac tion must be unanimous". Charity Conference Delegates. Hannah D. Francisco and Luke Woodard were appointed delegates to the State Conference of Associated Charities and Corrections to be held in Muncie this month. Allen Jay announced last evening that the fund which is being raised to (Continued on Page Two.) VERY DISRESPECTFUL . ACT Man Knocks Aged Lady to the Side walk on Main Street and Laughs at What he Did. , Yesterday morning as a man came tearing down the stairway leading to the Hirshburg Bundy photograph gallery, he ran into an extremely elderly lady and knocked her over on the sidewalk." Her fall was very hard and her cries attracted the attention of many passersby. The old lady with the assistance of several men standing by, arose to her feet but she moved off with a noticeable limp. The man who had knocked her over passed off with a huge grin on his face as though the accident was very amusing. The little incident aroused the ire of several men who were standing near, as the arragance and disrespect of the man was disgusting and obnoxious. Miss Davenport Chosen. Miss Bertha Davenport has been selected to teach the school at Dis trict No. 4, Center township, during the illness of the regular teacher. Miss Lizzie RothermeJ- s
