MERIT SHOULD RULE. TRU8TEE STANDS AS MOST IMPORTANT DIVISION FOR SOLVING SCHOOL PROBLEMS HE HAS MANY DUTIES.

The last monthly meeting of the present township trustees of the county was held today at the office of the county superintendent. The retiring trustees had as their guests their successors in office. Many matters of importance came up for discussion and the cooperation of the retiring trustees was assured their successors. It was evident there are no discordant factions and It is expected that the new trustees win assume their duties better prepared than any set of men, who have become identified with these Important offices for many years. The perplexing questions of the depository laws have almost all been solved in advance. Superintendent Jordan addressed the trustees by pointing out what he considers the requisites for the best success In office. He spoke of the trustee being judged from four standards: as a school man, as road trustee, as overseer of the poor and as a financier. He suggested several points as fundamental to success, among them being: "School trustee is the most important division for the solution to the school problem answers in a large degree the others. "The greater part of the money you handle will be school money. The better you make your schools the less work will be necessary as overseer of the poor and the more help you will have in building roads in a proper way. "As a financier the trustee will keep the rate of taxes down to a minimum, consistent with the greatest good to his township, and will see that every dollar of township money expended by him bring his township 100 cents worth of good. He must not single his ambition to lowering tax rates and paying public debts regardless of the pressing and vital demands to general welfare of his township. "As overseer of the poor, he does not limit himself just, to buying gro-, ceries, fuel and clothing to meet their present needs, but puts forth a greater effort to secure them employment and help them to help themselves. He sees that the children are supplied with the necessary books and clothing to keep them In school. "He does not allow unscrupulous and unworthy persons to prey upon the township neither does he allow worthy and modest persons to suffer. "He will allow nothing but real merit bias bio Judgment in the selection of his teachers. "While ne always gives a friendly hearing to all complaints from patrons of the school, he supports the teacher in all her s'ncere efforts for the good of her school. "He keeps his school property in the best possible conditions. Well fenced, sanitary out buildings, protects the fuel from waste, paints the buildings, keeps down the weeds during vacations, protects the trees and shrubbery, builds walks. "Every school property should be a pattern of cleanliness, symmetry and tidiness for the community. "He should encourage his teachers and his patrons to come to him with all questions that are troublesome to them that he may be kept well informed as to the status of his schools. "He should listen to all suggestions that have for their purpose the bettering of his schools and use those that In his judgment are feasible. "He guards himself against dishonest school supply men who may seek to entrap him with some violation of the law. "He attends all teachers meetings that he can so that he may thus encourage his teachers, to become better acquainted with his teachers and the details of the school work. "In taking the school enumeration he remembers that his school fund derends upon the number of children enumerated and omits none that he Is lawfully entitled to enumerate. "He knows that he holds almost supreme power In all township matters, the voters and taxpayers having but little If any voice in the control of affairs, and uses his power to promote the Interests of his township and not himself. "His duties are many and various; no officer has a greater variety of duties and Is as poorly paid as the tonyship trustee. , ' "He is bound by the contracts made according to law of his predecessor. "He counsels his advisory board on such matters as come under their jurisdiction, but does not bother them with other matters, as he knows that he himself is responsible for his official acts." COYOTES AT GLEN. Next summer Glen Miller park will resemble the western prairies. Not coutent with the present specimens of the liefe on the sage brush lands, the board of public works has accepted a consignment of four coyotes and seven prairie dogs. REPORT OF SETTLEMENT. The report of final settlement in the City Mill Works case, was tiled with the county clerk today. The net balance of the general fund Is shown to be $7,438.28..

Not all of this sum will be needed and what is left unexpended will be returned to the county treasury.

While in the East, President KelU of Earlham college, who has just returned home, attended the regular meeting of the educational board of the Five Years' Meeting of the Friends church, of which he Is president. John H. Johnson, of this city, is secretary. This meeting was held at Haverford college and was one of the most important meetings that the board has ever held. President Kelly introduced a new resolution calling for the establishment of a pension relief fund for all the aged professors of the Friends schools and colleges, which was adopted. This is an entirely new move among the Friends' churches of the country. It was also decided at this meeting to have corps of educators attend the annual Quaker meetings that are held over the country. President Sharpless, of Haverford college, will make the tour next year. It is also hoped to have more educators speak at the chapel exercises of Friends colleges, than Is the custom at present. NOVEL DONATION TO TO PRINTERS HOME Richmond Men Donate Funds For New Ward. Union printers of this city have decided upon a novel plan of subscription for the erection of a new ward to the Childs-Drexel Home for Aged Union Printers. Each member of the union has agreed through the local organization to donate one hour's pay to the cause. This plan was adopted after a discussion as to the best Vay to raise the fund. It was believed more advisable to donate in this manner than by direct assessment or by drawing upon the treasury. The Childs-Drexel home is located at Colorado Springs, Col. It is a magnificent structure. Each union printer in the country prides himself on having contributed something to the maintenance of the institution. BOGGS SPEAKS TO Y. M. C. A.

TAFT IS IN SYMPATHY. THOUGHT IF LEGISLATORS DO NOT RECOGNIZE WATERWAYS SCHEME HE WILL SPEAK OF IT IN HIS SPECIAL CALL.

Washington, D. C, Dec. lo. That the labors of the National Rivers and Harbors congress now in session here will result in the favorable consideration by congress of a comprehensive plan for the improvement f the national waterways, is the general beliefe here today. If congress does not at the present session take, the desired steps along these lines, it is expected that President-elect Taft will include the subject in his call for the special session. Speaker Cannou made the principal speech before the Rivers and Harbors congress today advocating "Safety and Sanity." He said every feasible project of the water ways committee will receive his support. Secretary Garfield advocated the government regulation and control of natural resources instead of individual or corporation control. Sentiment in favor of the issuance of government bonds for improvement of rivers, harbors, and canals has gained considerable headway. The scheme contemplates the issuance of $5j,(tU(v XfO worth of federal bonds for internal water courses, to be distributed over a ten year period, or $.VmXh.mh annually. Enthusiastic indorsement has been given the proposition at the rivers and harbors congress by such leading figures as Vice President Fairbanks, Andrew Carnegie, Joseph E. Ransdell, president of the congress, and other speakers. Vice President Fairbanks says the time has arrived for intelligent dealing with the fact that waterway Improvement had not kept pace with industrial and national needs. He advocates at least, part provision by a bond issue to distribute equitably the burden upon beneficiaries of the present and posterity. Bryce and Carnegie Heard. James Bryce, British ambassador, gave his experience in and knowledge of water way improvement in England, and said a forthcoming royal commissioners' report would prove useful to the American government. Upwards of 3,500 delegatesfi representing forty-four states and the territories of Alaska, New Mexico and Hawaii and Porto Rico are in attendance. The congress met in the Wjllard hotel auditorium. The section of minerals reported annual production in excess of $2,000,000, 000, second only to agriculture as a contribution to national wealth. The annual waste is put at more than $300,000,000. At the present rate of production exhaustion of present known coal supply could be expected before the middle of the next century. REBEL OUTBREAK Trouble Reported From Three Haitian Towns Will Be Suppressed. GENERAL SIMON PUZZLED. Cape Haitien, Haytl, Dec. 10 Revolutionary outbreaks are reported at Port De Paix, Hlnche and Jean Babel. General Robillard has left Plaisance for Gonalves to suppress the disorders. It is as yet impossible to give the movement any definite object or aim, or to determine in whose favor it is being organized. General Cincinnatus Leconte, who is credited with aspirations to the presidency, was to have left here for Port au Prince, but at the last moment he decided not to go. General Simon will determine today whether he will convoke the present assembly or dissolve it and hold new elections in January. ARE UN EARTHED Bank of Greensfork May Be Filled With Them. Cambridge City, Ind.. Dec. 10. While workmen were excavating through the gravel ridge on the west bank of Greensfork for the drain for Shroyer's ponds a number of human bones were brought to light. They probably belonged to the Indians that once inhabited this section of the country and made burial places along the streams and particularly in grav el deposits. It is quite likely that the entire ridge is fillea with skeletons. PETIT LARCENY CHARGED. John Miller, colored, has been ar rested upon the complaint of his brothers. A charge of petit larceny

Congress in a Rage May Rebuke Roosevelt Senate Is Also Angry. Resolution Similar to the One Passed Upon Action of John Tyler May Be PassedCannon Holds Conferences.

Washington, Dec. 10. Enraged by references to congressmen contained in his message, the house is prepar ing to castigate the president in a manner that will give expression to the intensely bitter feeling prevailing in congress. The house formally will take notice of the insult which it believes the president has heajred upon it because congress saw fit to prevent secret em ployes from performing duties for the governmental departments. The senate is just as angry and it probably will take action, too. The republican leaders In the house, including Speaker Cannon and the managers of legislation, have had TALENTED PIAHISTE Madame Durno's Concert Fri day Night Expected to Be . Artistic Event. A REMARKABLE MUSICIAN One of the most musical and fash ionable audiences that have ever assembled, will greet Madam Durno the pianist at the artist recital Friday evening at the Gennett. Practically the entire platt has been sold in advance, an almost unprecedented occurance in the history of Richmond's previous musical recitals. Jeanette Durno is considered not nol only a technician of astonishing brilliance and finish, but a player possessing extraordinary power and tem perament. Her strength is of the intense nervous kind. She does not be long to the German school of pianists. Her physique and her nature are Slavic in composition, like Paderewski's and Pachniann's. The delicate refined face and the thoughtful eye denote a studious introspective nature. The firm month tells of determination and artistic poise. Under the fostering care of the great master Leschetisky, she mastered the art of transferring her personality and musical sensa tions to the keyboard. This process is not as simple as it sounds. Those who perform It are artists, those who do not are merely pianists. The artist employs his brain and his heart, the pianist manipulates his fingers. In the fullest sense of the word Durno is an artist. DELEGATES' RETURN WELL PLEASED R. L. Kelly and S. R. Lyons Attended Church Congress. President Robert L. Kelly of Earlham college, and the Rev. S. R. Lyons of the Reid Memorial church, who have been attending the National Congress of Federated churches at Philodelphia. during the past week, returned home this morning. The delegates report that the meeting was a great success and that fully 18,000,000 people were represented through the delegates. President Kelly -was elected vice president for the Friends churches from Richmond, and the Rev. Lyons was elected vice president from the United Presbyterian church from Richmond. EIGHT PAGE ISSUE. The Cambridge City Tribune distinguished itself today with an eight page issue. The paper is well supplied with advertising. The merchants of this city, Milton. Dublin and Cambridge, contributed to this department. There is an abundance of news items.

their head3 together and they decided the president must be rebuked. The censure will be Imposed in a way that will hit the president hard. The house, according to the plan, will refuse to spread upon its records that part of the message which makes deprecatory remarks about congress. The resolution hitting the president will be modeled after a resolution adopted by the lawmaking branch when John Tyler was president. Vetoed Tariff Bill. This was in 1842, following the veto of a tariff bill passed by congress. Mr. Tyler sent a long message explaining his disapproval of the bill, and it so disturbed the lawmakers that they passed the following: "1. Resolved. That while this Prepare to Go

Elks Arrange for all Modern Conveniences in Their Club House Which They May Occupy After Next February.

The local lodge of Elks plans to get into its new home, the Gaar residence, on North Eighth street, some time in February. It is expected that Mrs. J. M. Gaar and Mrs. Jeahnette Leeds will have their new residence on North street completed by that tjme. The new Elks' home will be one of the most beautiful and commodious of the numerous Elks club houses in the state. Already the members of the local lodge are making plans for the interior arrangements of the home, but nothing definite has been decided upon, nor probably will be, until next month. A On the first floor it is planned to have a oafe, a kitchen, a smoking room, a lounging or reading room and a parlor. On the second floor it is the general idea to tear out the partitions of the front rooms, making one room fifty feet by fifty feet, where billiard PRESENTED WITH DIAMOND Retiring Trustees Make Gift to Superintendent. As a token of their estemm, the retiring township trustees of the county presented Charles Jordan, county superintendent, with a beautiful diamond shirt stud this afternoon. The presentation speech was made by Charles Potter, trustee of Wayne township. Mr. Jordan was too overcome by pleasure and surprise to make a prolonged response, but his meaning was well understood by the donors. The committee that selected the gift was composed of Charles Potter, Lewis Bowman, John Manning and Albert Chamaess. LEFT REGIMENT WITHOUT LEAVE . U. S. Infantryman Caught by Police. Roy Anderson. absent from the Tenth U. S. Infantry without leave was arrested here this afternoon. He was taken Into custody upon suspicion. Last Saturday the police were notified to be on the look out for a soldier, who had committed a theft near Liberty. Anderson was being held this afternoon until telephone communication could be secured with Liberty. CARRIER BECOMES ILL. Economy, Ind., Dec. lO.

house is and ever will be ready to receive from the president all such messages and communications as the legislation and laws and usual course of public business authorize him to transmit to it, yet it can not recognize any right in him to make a formal protest agains the votes and proceedings of this house, declaring such votes and proceedings to be illegal and unconstitutional, and requesting the house to enter such protest on its journal.

That the president has no right to send a protest to this house against any of its proceedings." Into New Home and pool tables could be placed. The rear rooms on the second floor could be used for card rooms, dressing rooms etc. ' The lodge hall will be located on the third floor. There issome question as to whether the roof is high enough, and it Is possible the lodge will decide to raise the roof two or three feet. This room is quite large and an ideal place for the purpose. It is quite probable that .a bowling alley will be placed in the basement. There Is ample room for several bowling alleys and it is sure to be a popular feature of the club house. Many of the members of the lodge insist upon the establishment of the cafe feature, and it is practically certain this will be done. This, they argue, would be very convenient for lodge members who eat their noon day meal down town. SUIT BECAUSE OF LAW'S CONSTRUCTION Boyd, Administrator, Could Not Settle Own Claim. The filing of the suit of H. B. Boyd vs. the estate of Susan Hollingsworth, is the result of the construction of the Indiana laws. Dr. Boyd, who resides at Cambridge City, was the attending physician during the last illness of Mrs. Hollingsworth. He held a claim against her for f lO and after her death it was charged against the estate. It so transpired that Dr. Boyd was named as administrator of the estate. As administrator he could not pay himself for his professional services, as the law forbids an administrator to allow any claim of his own against an estate until authority is given by the court. Suit has been brought as a friendly proceeding, but one that is entirely necessary. .4. DEMURRER FILED. The defense in the case of Layman, vs. the T. H.

Although Prosecutor Jessup an Prosecutor-elect Ladd in pumps, white gloves a la pallbearer, and dress suits, were missing from the festive Bcene. the sixth annual ball of the Richmond police department was a complete success. At the head of the column of police as they marched in review about th floor, was Chief Bailey, Patrolman MrNally, First Sergeant McManus and Second Sergeant Winter, and who is there 'to say that the tons of gold braid these officers wore could not, any day or night In the week, month or year, outshine the plain black and white Messrs.

The grand march Btarted promptly at 9 o'clock'and back of the 6ixteen minions of the law walked sixty-nine couples. First they circled about in column of twos, then they got all shuffled up and did a lot of snake movements and just about the time you thought everybody was hopelessly mixed up the marchers suddenly assumed definite shape again and marched around the floor in columns of four, then eight and. finally sixteen abreast. In this formation they swept majestically up the floor to the main entrance. A crowd of newspaper men had been deputised to keep this entrance way clear, but not one of the crowd that choked It. knew the news chasers were deputies and cared less, as everyone tn the crowd appeared to be bigger than the "deputies there was "nothing doing" In keeping the entrance clear. ,The police had to perform that duty themselves.
