A rehearsal was held this afternoon and the queen gave ber assistants to understand what is expected of them. Amateur Police Force. A: police force has been organized and it will be uniformed.

COACH VAIL TO GO Reported That Athletic Instructor Has Left Earlham College.
SUCCESSOR IS NOT KNOWN
Fred Vail, coach of the Earlham athletic teams will not be retained next year. He has accepted a position with another school. Vail's successor has been chosen but his name has not been made public. Vail has been at Earlham for two years. He has met with varying results in the development of his athletes. The poor showing by some of the teams at times has been due as much to the poor spirit of the members as any other cause. Personally Vail is well liked by the Earlham athletes.

ated a sensation at the time. The po
lice had been receiving reports that ev
erythlng about the hotel was not being
conducted in strict compliance with the law and the raid was' a success in
so far as the result was concerned. Tale Told by Gay. .
When the case came to trial. Gay and his counsel put up a story to the
effect the suddIv of llauor which, con
tained several dozen bottles of beer, bottles of whiskey, seltzer bottles and
other supplies, was for the use of an automobile party. A large quantity of the liquor was packed on ice in a zinc tank. The place was in charge of a colored waiter. The state's attorney scouted the story of the auto party and claimed it was mere invention, pure and simple, as a subterfuge for an excuse to explain how the liquor happened to be in the bathroom. None of the members of the alleged automobile party appeared as a witness in the case. The prosecuting attorney had the cash registers from the hotel produced in court and they did not show where a record of any sale of the amount the supply would have cost had been made. - . . Following the disagreement of the Jury end the announcement that the case would be tried again, Wilfred Jessup, then prosecutor, was asked to permit a plea of guilty to be entered to the first count, and the second count dismissed. Jessup refused.

large. The candidates for the office of president general, Mrs. Scott and
Mrs. Story, were on the ground early and their lieutenants were actively at
work in their behalf.
When New York was called in the
roll of states Mrs. William Cummings
Story, the state regent, and her delegation arose amid great applause and
handclapping. In a clear voice the
candidate for president general an
nounced a delegation of 172. with 126 present. She was congratulated by
Mrs. McLean on such a large repre
sentation.
Hears Applause for Rival.
Mrs. Matthew T. Scott of Illinois,
the socalled "adminstration" candi date for president general, was seat
ed in a box, and was a keen observer
of the demonstration acocrded her
rival.
Among the reports of officers that
of the register general, Mrs. Amos G.
Draper, showed that during the year over 6,000 new members' were enrolled, an increase of 33 per cent over the
two preceding years, and included nineteen "real" daughters. During the year 570 members died, of whom twenty-three were "real" daughters. Of the 687 ."real" daughters enrolled since the organization wag established, 283 are still living. . The first discordant note of the congress was heard when Mrs. M. A. Bellinger assailed the report of the register general. She argued that neither the constitution nor by-laws authorized the register general to keep a
bank account of fundi received by her separate from the treasurer general's
account Mrs. McLfean as Peacemaker.
Oil was thrown upon the troubled
waters by Mrs. McLean explaining
that the board of management had authorized the treasurer to keep such
an account in order to expedite action
upon applications, but that no check could be drawn without the signature
of the treasurer general.
" The report of the treasurer general,
Mrs, Mabel G. Swarmstedt, showed
that on March 31, 1908, there was a balance of $34,191. The receipts for the last year were $68,435, making a total of $102,626. The expenditures were $69,306, leaving a balance Mar. 31, 1909. of $33,320. The night session was devoted to music and the reception of reports of state regents.

ENGINEER CORPS UHABLEJO HELP
Finds Ice Situation at Niagara
Falls to Be a Perilous One.
CAN'T USE ANY DYNAMITE
PROJECT PASSED UP
S. S. I. A. Will Make No Effort To Locate Knitting Mills Here.
HOLD MEETING LAST NIGHT
ICE IS TOO SOFT FOR EXPLOSIVES AND GOES OVER FALLS IN TONS MAN MEET8 A HORRIBLE DEATH.
Niagara Falls, April 21. An unknown man went over the falls this morning. He could be seen clinging to the rocks below. The situation here is perilous and the United States Engineering corps says that the department is helpless to render assistance to Lewiston . and Youngstowc. Water passing over the falls is now backing up in the lower river. Large fields of ice above the rapids are passing over the falls at the rate of thousands of tons a second. At Lewiston the ice forms mounds eighty feet above the normal water level. The Ice is to soft to be dynamited.
Because the directors of the South
Side Improvement Association, at their
meeting last evening, thought the In
dianapolis Knitting Mills company was too anxious to locate here, the propo
sition was passed up. Other routine business was considered, including the
appointment of a committee to act fa
conjunction with the other organiza
tions in making cleaning up day, May
1, a success.
The Indianapolis concern employs
women and girls almost entirely and
this alone was an objectionable fea
ture. However, their desire to obtain a site, building and have the club pay the expenses of the removal of the
factory to this city, was more than the directors thought reasonable. The firm employed altogether about persons. The committee to act for the South Side Improvement Association in the cleaning up day movement is: Mttt Yon Pein. Conrad Zwissler and Walter Johnson. The association has placed the sale of lots in Beallview In the hands of a New York realty firm. The proceeds will be used to pay debts and to bring factories to the city.

The inspection of the Soldiers and Sailors Orphans Home at Knightstown, by a state committee, including members of the Sons of Veterans and the Civil War veterans, will probablv have to be postponed owing to the home being quarantined with smallpox. Laurence Handler is a member of the committee from the local Sons of Veterans. His sister-in-law, Mrs. Sarah Weir, who is a governess at the home, and who has been visiting here, left for the home to care for the children. All the roads to the home have been closed in order to prevent the spread of the disease. There are 4.V children in the home and a general vaccination is being made to stamp out the disease. The disease was brought to the
home by a small girl, who came with a number of other orphans.

If Prosecutor Ladd takes the step he is expected to, he will be commended by his fellow practitioners, who recognise the difficulties of such a case. It la not believed Gay should be prosecuted under a charge more serious than other saloon proprietors for his first offense. It Is believed a conviction on the one charge would be preferable to continued disagreements on the other and that the law and sense of justice would be satisfied.
