Richard Van Zant, former saloon

will live long. Van Zant is suffering
from softening of the brain.
Sheriff Meredith states that Van
Zant yells a good part of the time and that he has a penchant for tearing the straw out of his bed tick and scatter
ing it all over his cell. Last week Van Zant was placed in the jail yard so he could be benefited by the fresh air. He took a bench, threw all the flower pots off It, then placed an abandoned gate on top this bench. After doing this Van Zant attempted to climb to the top of the jail rriil. but the gate slipped off the bench and Van Zant fell to the jail yard with the gate. He was not discouraged by this mishap, so he made pegs which he drove into the hinges of the gate which is at the opening in the wall between the jail yard and the stone pile yard. Aft

Inquiries have been mailed to each
county auditor of the state by Miss Mary Stubbs, state statistician, asking
the number of saloon licenses granted
in each county from January to July of
the present year; how many of them are yet running; the residence of the
parties licensed, and how many saloons
are believed to be owned by breweries
"This Information is desired by the department,' 'said Miss Stubbs, "because of discrepancies In temperance statistics between reports sent in by county auditors and the clerks of cities and towns." Neither Governor Hanly nor Miss Stubbs would confirm or deny this phase of the question, but it is said, upon reliable authority, that the questions are of a fishing character upon which the temperance people may institute prosecutions where possible. The brewers agreement recently adopted by the brewers of the state, provides for the weeding out of objectionable brewery saloons in the state, the brewers claim that there are 6.000 saloons of the state, while the figures gathered by the state bureau of statistics, show about ,",400 at the end of the

MADE ATTEMPT TO KISS
Methodist Pastor Will Be Suspended One Year.
Because the Hicksite branch of the
Friends church seceded from what is
termed the orthodox branch of the church many years ago, several of the
older ministers, attending the Indiana
yearly meeting of Friends, and in
whose minds is fresh the occurrences
surrounding the session, refused to
sanction the appointment of two de.ealtprnates from tho
gaiCO VLIAKM. Indiana body to the Hicksite confer-
pnoR to be held at Lake Winona next
August, to which the Indiana yearly Hno was invited. The matter came
before the Indiana meeting at its morning session today and elicited more comment than has any one subject coming before the body up-to-date. The discussion lasted for almost forty-five minutes. The matter was finally decided and delegates were appointed over the voice of a large number of dissenting Friends. Woodard Leads Opposition. The Rev. Luke Woodard one of the oldest pastors in the Indiana yearly meeting, objected more strenuous'y to the appointment of delegates to the Hicksite conference, than did any of the others making known their opinions on the subject. Mr. Woodard said that the Hicksites had seceded

should not, by the naming of two del egates to the Hicksite conference, in dicate that the Indiana body is in sym
nathy with the Hicksites and their
doctrines and that the members of the
seeedinz church would take the ap
pointment of the delegates in the light that the Indiana body was just the
least bit relenting and countenanced
the teachings of the Hicksite branch. There is a tendency today among the Friends to carry fraternal relations with other churches too far, Mr. Woodard maintained. Wrong Impression Growing. Others speaking for the opposition maintained that in the past few years since friendly relations have in a way sprung up between the Hicksites and orthodox Quakers, the world was pointing a finger toward the orthodox Quakers and saying "They are accepting the teachings of the Hicksites." People are being made to say that the two branches of the church were being made to believe alike, the main essential being that Jesus Christ is not divine. This very feature was decried and by the appointment of the two delegates to the Hicksite conference it was feared that the world would think that the orthodox Friends had accepted the teachings of their brothers who seceded from the original beliefs of the Quakers. Robert Douglas, in order to compromise the
attitude of those objecting to the ap
pointment of delegates, asked the
body to reply kindly tc the Invitation
of the Hicksite Friends but not ap
point delegates. Russell Was in Favor.
Prof. Elbert Russell, professor of
bibical history at Earlham college, and who in past years has taken an
active stand for closer relationship between the various religious denominations of today, spoke for the ap
pointment of delegates. For a num
ber of years he said the churches were tending toward a common ground on which the great work of
Christianity might be carried forward
The seeking of this common ground does not mean that the individual
churches are by the seeking, dropping
their individualities and own beliefs

he said, the bitterness of the secession
of the Hicksites is not so great, and
for that reason the younger ones be
lieved in a closer relationship oa questions broader and without the scope of doctrines. He said if there
were a place where the Hicksites and orthodox Friends cou'd get together
to better carry out the world wide
questions of philanthropic interest. It
