Depauw Team Last Evening Won Basketball Game by . . , Score of 29 to 22. - 'f GAME A HARD FOUGHT ONE SEASON'S MAXIM RESULT BEARS OUT THAT TOO MANY COACHES SPOIL; 'ANY TEAM SUMMARY OF -TEAM'S RECORD. " DePauw 29; Earlham 22. "Hallelujah Thine' the-glory, hallelujah Amen, ? hallelujah ; Thine the glory, reyive us. again,? Bang the Earlham advertising committee as it rode about the city streets yesterday to attract attention to the fact DePauw's basket ball team weald provide the opposition for the game last evening. That, "glory" may have been revived 11 right, but evidently the stimulant was not strong enough. ' The advertising committee violated city ordinances by distributing bills along Main street, scattering them broadcast as their wagon traveled, from Fifth street to the bridge, and DePauw, violated tradition by winning the game. It was Quaker tradition, however, that was violated, as , the Methodists all along had counted the game as good as won. , . Saeon of Distress. Jt was the last game of the season lor Earlham. It has been a season of distress. ' It was expected the team would prove first class but it failed miserably. Cedarville, Wilmington and State .Normal, all - fourth rate teams, fell victims to the skill of Earl ham's goal tossers. But Earlham could not break into second class company. It seemed as if Wabash, DePauw and i Rose. Polytechnic on two occasions, Just would not have anything to do with the Earlhamites. Maybe they didn't like the yellow in the college colors of course it's no place else. The Quaker players have be-n in athletics for years, but repeatedly during the basket ball season have taken flights into the ozone. They could not be kept on- the ground and this fact lost for them several games. The team is rood, but it has been unable to , work together,. Whether from stage fright, fear or some other cause, balloon - ascensions I have not. been avoided, greatly to the detriment of the team's work and the placards on the score boardl " , i T Coaches Differed. But the fault has not been with the team. Hancock. White, Swain, Cornell Tebbetts, Lindley, Reese and a group of hardworking subs have done all within their power, to win games. It cannot be said the team laid down In a single contest. Every man knows the game and does his best" to win. But the team has- not proved a winner. Then the fault must lie some where else. Earlham has suffered from a multiplicity of coaches. Prof. Holmes and athletic director Vail have worked with the team, but their work baa not always been in the same direction. To watch the Earlham team in practice proves this. Holmes apparently has ai ; idea a basket ball player must be somewhat on the order of a wr8tllnTi mat artist. H en couraged his players to crowd their opponents every minute of the game. He wants an Earlham man rubbing elbows with his v opponents and to cover up" perpetually. Vail has been more for the free and open style of play. That Is the kind of a game that has won against Earlham all season. Forget There Is Basket. The Quakers, have f spent so much time running-, about the floor -chasing their' opponents", that they have for; gotten there was a basket at the other end. Both Holmes and Vail have worked to perfect the team, but their Ideas of the game differed, judging from practice work. Holmes was regarded as basket bail coach. Vail not making . any pretense at being an adept upon the points of the game and Holmes ideas. were the ones adopted, forthe most" part by the players. Better things are hoped for next year. 9 .The game last night was Interesting but not exciting. DePauw had the best style of play and won out as the result. Earlham men covered the floor but their combined forces were not as ., strong as those of the Methodists. Earlham had confidently expected to win. Summary : Earlham " DePauw Hotehkiss ,.w. .

Is not known what became of the building. The first church to be built in this city was by those cf tlie Methodis-t faith, is the building above rtlerrc! lo ou Uouih Tenth street. It was erected in 1823 and is practically the same today as when it was then, except that a new roof and a few other repairs have been made. It was not known by many Methodists that this building was formerly a church,, and the mere mention of the fact awakened an interest in the building which may lead to its purchase an-i placed somewhere where It may be seen by all and admired as a relic . To Make Pilgrimage. It is believed that the Methodists will decide to make a pilgrimage to I the old Jacob Smith property and that a meeting be held in the open as was ! the custom 100 years ago. It was also suggested that the centennial celebration be held in conjunction with the Chautauqua. However, this, as well as the other details, remains to be worked out. There will be an effort made to find out whether there are any descendants I of Jacob Smith in this county. That Richmond may not be the headquarters for this district after the conference meeting at Greenfield next month, was stated by the Rev.. T. M. Guild, presiding elder of the district In his toast, "District Boundaries." There are at present six districts in the Northern Indiana conference district, and it Is proposed that the conference be divided into but five districts. ' The change in the boundaries which will probably be made at the conference meeting, provides that they shall be straight lines and parallel to the In diana-Michigan line. This would pat Richmond in the southeast corner of the district. " Officers Elected. Other toasts were responded to by Paul Jones, Raymond H. Wehrley, Prof. Hersh of Earlham college, and the Rev. R. J. Wade. William Russell, who has been president of the brotherhood for the past year, acted as toastmaster.

MOBLEY COHCEBHED III CHECK AFFAIR Arrested Upon Order From Indianapolis, But Claims It Is All a Mistake. . CLAIMS HE CAN SETTLE SAYS HE HAD MONEY IN BANK WHEN CHECK WAS ISSUED, BUT HOLDER DELAYED CASHING UNTIL TOO LATE. J. A. Mobley, a member of the firm of Caldwell & Mobley. was apprehended by the local police this afternoon upon a telegraph order from Chief Medzgar of the department of police at Indianapolis. Mobley is accused ot Issuing a fraudulent check. He was held by the police for the arrival of an Indianapolis officer. Mobley says the entire matter is a mistake and he will be able to clear himself. He claims he is not guilty of issuing a fraudulent check. He says he Issued the check to a Charles Thompson, of Indianapolis and at. the time It was given he had money In the bank to cash it. He says Thompson delayed cashing the check until after the money was used. Mobley says that he did not know the money was all expended, when the effort was made by Thompson to have the check cashed and supposed Thompson had cashed his check and received his money. '; . ' "f The former contractor declared It was merely the outcome of a slack method of doing business. He said he and Caldwell, his' partner, both checked against their account and he (Mobley) had been out of town for some time ' preceding the Issuance of the check and although he knew the funds were getting low, had no idea they were so low that they probably would be exhausted by the time the check was cashed.' : ,, -.; ; - Mobley says he has the money and will be able to make the things right with Thompson so as to escape prosecution. He firmly denied any intent at a criminal act in issuing the cheek and maintains it was not fraudulent as he had the money when the cheek was given.

LEGISLATURE IS DOWII l UPPERS Startling Discovery Made That It Had No Money Left To Pay Itself. EXCEED APPROPRIATION

TODAY IT WAS NECESSARY FOR THE HOUSE TO PASS AN ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATION OF 122,000. Palladium Bureau, Indianapolis, March . The Indiana legislature is broke. It has no money with which to pay itself or anyone else. This condition was discovered yesterday evening when W. W. Huffman, secretary of the senate, went to the state auditor's office and tried to cr.sh a warrant for $300 due him as his salary. There is money In the state treasury, all right, but there was no appropriation made from which to pay the legislative warrants. Today an additional appropriation was passed by the house, amounting to ' $22,000. When the session opened the leglsla ture by a Joint resolution appropriat ed 9115,000 for the expenses of the session. This has all been used up and there are several thousand dollars more debts to pay. Of course, another appropriation can be made, and will be made today, to finish, paying the bills, but the cuestlon arises whether the warrants already Issued In excess of the money appropriated can be 'collected without a law suit It is Illegal to issue a warrant for money when there la no money in such a fund with which to pay it. So there is .liable to be a mix-up about it. A Great Scurrying. Two years ago the legislature appropriated $120,000 for the expenses of the session. This was not enough. but the fact was discovered in time to make aa additional appropriation of $12,000 before the first money ran out. This covered the additional cost of the session. But this case Is different. Warrants are already Issued when there is no money on hand to pay them. Warrants Issued after the additional 'appropriation is made will be cashed all right by the auditor. . When the deficit was discovered yesterday evening there was a great scurrying around among the members and the employes of the two nouses to get their money. Some of them have not drawn a cent of their salaries since the session opened, preferring to wait until the end of the ses sion and get it all at once. : Some of these are In a tight hole as a conse quence of the sudden "stringency.
